Beneath the Pain - Percy Jackson and the Avengers Crossover

Chapter 2

Percy's POV
Looking around the room, I saw two guys playing on the Xbox, one of them had a bow and a quiver filled with arrows laying next to him and the other guy had messy blonde hair with black jeans and a grey long sleeve T-shirt with blue stripes and black sections here and there. (In my book, Pietro lives!!!) A girl with a red jacket and light brown hair sat next to him, just watching the game.

To the left, a guy dresses in the American flag, I think, a woman with a skin tight leather suit and a guy with fake metal wings were just standing, talking about who knows what. On the right, there were more seats with a guy wearing armour and a green cape stood chatting to a guy with armour and a red cape. They were possibly brothers and I could sense godly auras coming from them. From the way they dress, I think they may be Norse gods. (Loki has turned a new leaf)

Not far off, a weird guy with red skin was just hovering above the ground, staring outside one of the many windows in the room. Two other guys were just sitting on the seats, one with glasses and ruffled up black hair was reading a book whilst a teenage boy, possibly around my age, was playing madly on his phone.

Tony clapped his hands together to gather everyone's attention. "Okay, guys. This is my nephew, Percy Jackson, was it?" Like I have been doing for the past few minutes, I've been simply nodding my head. "Anyway, he's going to be staying here because of his parent's . . . incident." I shuddered just thinking about what I saw but honestly, I've seen much more.

"Yeah alright! Finally someone else my age I can hang out with." That came from the dude playing on his phone. I glanced over to see the other gods and they both had wide eyes and started whispering to each other. Both of them could probably sense the aura around me as well.

"Probably need to make some introductions." Tony said, breaking the brief silence. "Cap, wanna go first?" The guy dressed in the American flag nodded and began speaking. "So, I'm Steve Rogers, or better known as Captain America. Leader of the Avengers." Steve looked over to the girl next to him for her turn to speak. "I'm Natasha Romanoff, known as the Black Widow on the team."

Slowly, everyone started introducing themselves. The guy with the fake wings was called Sam Wilson or Falcon, the twins were Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, the other dude with the bow was Clint Barton or Hawkeye, the teen was Peter Parker, known as Spiderman, the person with the glasses was Bruce, Dr. Banner preferably, and is the Hulk and the last guy with the red skin was Vision, the one Tony told me about. Finally, the two gods introduced themselves.

"I am Thor Odinson, god of Thunder and Lightning, future king of Asgard." Yep, definitely Norse. You could tell by the place. And the accent. "I am Loki Odison, brother to Thor and god of Mischief and Chaos." These guys probably know me and what I've done because Thor looked like a child who got given a puppy for Christmas.

Peter spoke up. "So Percy, want to have a little round on the Xbox? Its gonna be fun buddy." I shrugged. "Sure, why not? Got nothing else better to do." Walking over to the couch, I plopped my bag on the couch and grabbed the controller Pietro was using recently and began playing a fighting game against Peter.

After many minutes of battling it out, I defeated him and successfully became the winner. "Wow, you sure are pretty good. And not many people beat me at Xbox. You play a lot, Perce?" I shook my head in response. "Never played Xbox in my entire life. Or any electronic game at all. Probably just my reflexes."

Peter sat there, gaping at my statement. "I'm not sure what rock you've been living under, but for a teenager like you that has never played video games before, it must have been a pretty big one." We sat there laughing and talking for a bit, mostly him and being Spiderman, when he brought something up that related to my parents and, as a kid with ADHD, I got distracted easily.
