Thalia's POV

Watching the reactions of the Avengers was priceless! Of course, even if I had to tell the story every now and then with Wanda, Vision, Thor and Loki, it's still worth it! Most of them had bulging eyes and gaping mouths, shocked down to every detail. Heh heh, shocked. Making puns already. I'm not gonna go there. The last time where Kelp head started a pun war, things got really annoying, just ask Nico.

By the time the story of Percy's demigod life was summed up, I think that almost all of them were trying to hold their food down. That is, except for Tony, Percy's uncle. He'd already ran to the bathroom, the vile in his mouth wishing to be let out. Exhaling, Percy sat down on an armchair in a huff, grabbing the jug of water we'd prepared earlier for demonstration, and pouring a glass, gulping it down in one go.

Once Tony came back, slightly hunched after puking so much, Fury broke the silence. "So now that you've explained your rather . . . traumatising experience, what was that incident in Central Park?" Both Percy and I froze. He told me how the monsters managed to get here in New York, but I don't blame him, he had to call the cops anyway.

Percy rubbed his next nervously. "Well actually, to be honest, I have part of the blame for why they were here." The Avengers perked up, hearing this. "And why's that?" Fury questioned. Percy sighed, knowing he'd have to answer, and I guess he didn't want questions when he woke up next morning. After all, to sum up his demigod life, it took about 3 hours. Right now it's 9:26 pm. 

I'm wondering what everyone else at Camp is up to. Maybe around the campfire, with the Apollo kids doing the music, some of them fast asleep, probably getting some demigod dreams . . . arrggh! My ADHD getting to me, I'll listen back to Percy, who fortunately, got sidetracked too.

Percy finally snapped out. "Sorry, ADHD. Um, you know how I told you guys that demigods can't use technology because it attracts monsters to the area? Yeah, I called the police so they could figure out what to do, um, you know when, so Kelli gathered tons of the monsters to come to try to kill me, emphasis on try. She was planning the attack, she just didn't know where to find me until I made that call."

Percy hung his head, and was about to retreat back to his bed, when a familiar voice spoke from the shadows. "Perseus Jackson, do you know how much trouble you're in?" Nico said in a low voice, trying to be scary. All the Avengers were alert, but Percy just rolled his eyes. "Come on Nico, you suck at this." Hearing Nico hesitate, he walked out of the shadows and gave Percy a punch to the arm.

Honestly, he kinda deserves that for not IM'ing us sooner, telling us what was wrong. Percy rubbed his arm, confusion crossing his face. "What was that for?" Nico crossed his arms angrily. "You didn't IM us to tell us what's wrong, and when we finally found out, people at camp started worrying about you." Percy, understanding, nodded, but went back to confusion.

"How did you know?" Nico face palmed, annoyed. I clutched my head, wondering how much more of a Kelp head he could become. "Easy, fish boy. News spreads around easily and one of us just happened to have overheard someone talking about them. And that you'd moved in with the famous Tony Stark. Just letting you know, Leo is kinda jealous."

Seriously, how did it not occur to him that we might of just heard someone talking about the deaths of Sally and Paul Blofis? Oh well, he's a Kelp head, he's like that. "Oh." See? Classic answer coming from Percy. Looking at the Avengers, they were just as confused as Percy was when Nico punched Percy.
