PJO and Avengers Mash-Up {discontinued}

Part 13

Mackenzie's POV

Chiron rubbed his chin while he thought deeply over both mine and Tony's stories. Having over five new demigods coming to camp at once in one thing, but a huge apocalyptic monster destroying downtown Manhattan was another. "I've only heard about this in obscure prophecy, but no matter. We still do not have much time." The centaur commented.

Everyone was sitting in a circle around Chiron, almost all listing intently. I had to drag Madison and Bruce out of their deep conversation about theoretical physics and the multiverse, which didn't really do any good because both of them were absorbed into their own devices, one still reading and the other scribbling equations down on a scrap piece of paper.

"You said that before coming to find Tony, that you tried everything? Bullets, arrows, Mjolnir?" Chiron asked."Yes sir." Alicyn raised her hand like she was in class, "Maybe if physical attacks don't work, you could try magic." Everyone looked at Madison as her cheeks flushed a bit, "I can't do it! I literally just discovered I was a daughter of Loki thirty minutes ago." The Avengers looked like they had a horrible flashback moment when Madison mentioned he name 'Loki', probably from the battle of New York. "But I do know some people who can help!" She added, packing her manga back in her bag.

"No, no, no! We are not calling him." Clint strongly opposed. The book worm had proposed we call on the two most powerful sorcerers she knew. Her father Loki and someone named 'Doctor Steven Strange' (Although she referred to him by 'Benedict Cumberbatch' most of the time). "Dude, calm down. We're going to him this time in Asgard. Remember, he was in-prisoned." Xander tried to help the situation. "Fine, but it's the girl's fault if I die."

"Okay, just focus on your destination Madi. You can do this!" Madison encouraged herself. Even with her enthusiasm to meet this Doctor Strange guy, she was still a nervous wreck. She stood up straight, held her right hand out forward like she was a traffic conductor, and started moving her left hand in a circular motion. Amazingly green sparks were coming from the air in front of her as it slowly expanded into a human-sized portal. "You can walk through now. Go quickly 'cause I don't know how long I can hold this." Everyone shuffled forward and stepped through the portal one by one with Madison being the last one through. Chiron said he had to stay back at camp so he didn't come with us.

We were in what looked like a dungeon of sorts, lit braziers hung on the stone brick walls. "Might as well start walking. Now or never!" Noah started walking off down the hallway, encouraging the rest of us to follow.

We eventually caught up with him, but we were slightly dragging with Madison having her arm over Triston's shoulder. Apparently inter-dimensional travel takes a toll on you. Noah noticed the two and made a heart with his fingers mouthing the words "Love birds". In response Madison looked like she was about to send him to the depths Tartarus for that, but Triston only looked away shyly.

After a good fifteen minutes of walking, we  finally reached the end of the tunnel. The walls expanded to a tall dome shape, being around thirty feet tall at it's peak. We were about to walk towards the centre of the room until a figure blocked us. "You probably shouldn't go any farther, snake venom is painful when it touches flesh." It was a tall man with short curly blonde hair. His face was covered in scar tissue, mainly around the bridge of his nose. He was wearing a Red Sox baseball jersey with jeans and sneakers. "Is it a family reunion or do you need something? Because I'm a little tied up right now." He pointed behind him at, what I could now see a big rock shaped like a cross with chain tied around the ends. The man before us must've been an illusion with the real Loki tied to the rock. "We need your help saving the world." I stated. When I spoke it seemed like his pupils were reduced to slits like a snake as they watched me intently. "Me? Help you all? I was the one who wanted Fenris wolf unbound and cause Ragnorok. And you want me to help you heroes save the day? You mortals are hilarious."

Everyone was silent for a second until Thor piped up, "I thought you were supposed to be Loki. You don't really look like my brother." The god of lies looked offended by that remark, almost like he was hurt, "How rude. Just because they made a film about the other Loki doesn't make him more important. See, the Loki you're thinking about and me are technically the same person. It's a bit hard to wrap your placid little minds around the concept, but think of the Greek and Romans. Same thing for us Norse, except I'm the only one that has any recollection of it." He snapped his fingers as an image of Zeus and the Greeks flashed into Jupiter and the Romans. Great, another set of Gods with personality disorders.

I could see Madison out of the corner of my eye look slightly disappointed. I guess she was looking forward to the 'Tom Hiddleston' Loki.

"So are you gonna help us or not?" Triston asked, he was starting to get impatient.
