A/N: Arcee's Car is on the side ---------->

Also I made a mistake in the last Chapter. The River of Love I am using is in Oklahoma not Georgia. Sorry if this is confusing but they are headed to Ohlahoma now Georgia.

Annabeth, Percy and I headed down to the garage where my 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was. That car was my baby and it had been the car of my dreams so when I turned 15 my dad bought me it. I grabbed the keys off a rack I walked past and headed over to it. I climbed in quickly followed by the other two. That's when all six of the Avengers exited the elevator and ran over. "Arcee! I think I figured out a line of the prophecy you received."

I climbed out as I heard my dad say this. "What do you mean?"

"The line, 'To prove the truth two forces must unite,' I think the two forces are the Greeks and the Avengers." He answered. That actually made sense. I nodded then looked over into the car and at Annabeth.

"Does that make sense to you, Annabeth?" I asked. I mean who the better to ask then the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. Annabeth's eyebrows furrowed in thought then she nodded.

"Actually, yes, it does." Annabeth answered.

"Looks like we'll need a bigger car then." I smiled and heard an engine starting and looked over to see out Suburban was stared and Steve was behind the wheel. He smiled and waved at us. I couldn't help but smile back. The suburban could fit 9 but even then it was a tight fit. "We'll need to take two cars. I'll take my Camaro if Steve wants to follow in the Suburban. I can with 4 so basically one adult in my car."

"I'll ride with you." My dad offered, which in all honestly was comforting because I didn't want to have to choose.

I nodded, "Alright. Avengers go get suited and packed up. We are leaving in 10."

I totally see why Steve likes being the leader now. Thor already had Mjolnir in hand. I looked into the Suburban and saw Steve's shield on his back. Natasha, Clint, Bruce and my dad though all ran off. I climbed back into my car as Thor got into the front passenger seat of the Suburban. I gripped my steering wheel taking comfort in how the steering wheel fit my hand. "Percy, Annabeth, either of you need anything before we leave? Once we leave I don't plan on stopping until we need gas."

Gods now I sounded like a mother. I shuttered.

"Nah, I am good." Percy replied.

"Same here." Annabeth agreed with Percy. I nodded just as Dad, Bruce, Clint and Natasha returned. Clint and Natasha were in their uniform and they each had their weapons, plus two duffle bags each. My dad had his briefcase and a duffle bag. Bruce had his duffle bag and one of my dad's holopads. Dad tossed his duffle in the back of my car and the other three put theirs in the Suburban. Everyone climbed into their designated cars, everyone except Bruce. He walked over and tapped on my window, which I opened. In his hand were 4 earwig comlinks.

"Put these in your ears. Just in case we get separated." Bruce instructed dumping them into my out stretched hand. I nodded then he climbed into the Suburban. I handed one to Dad, Percy and Annabeth then I placed mine in my ear. "Com check?"

"Hawkeye, is all ears." I heard Clint's reply in my ear.

"Widow's ready for action."

"Can we just go now?" My dad complained.

"This mortal device is working."

"Chickadee, checking in." I finally spoke up.

"It's working." Percy said.

"This is sooo cool." Annabeth stated which received chuckles from everyone.

I started my engine and backed up. "Alright Cap, follow us." I said as I turned toward the garage's exit. I shifted into second as I picked up speed. "JARVIS open the garage door please."

"Right away Avengers and Guest. Good luck." JARVIS replied.

"Thanks J." Steve spoke. I glanced into my rear view mirror to see he was following and I smiled as we entered onto the busy street. We weaved our way through New York City. I let out a sigh of relief once we got out of the city. I hated driving in NY, normally I would just fly but thanks to Gramps I can't. "Everyone except for Steve, I suggest you all get some sleep it'll be awhile till we reach Oklahoma. If you are going to take a nap just take your earwig out and pocket it so we don't wake you."

"Ma'am yes, Ma'am." I heard Clint say jokingly. I rolled my eyes and looked in my rear view mirror to see him smirking while he held hands with Natasha.

"Wipe that smirk off you face Barton and Natasha probably would prefer it if you used the hand that's currently entwined with hers." I said as I returned my gaze to the street and shifted into 5th gear. Natasha, Bruce and Steve all started laughing. My Dad just smiled and Percy was snickering. "Also, before you ask how I knew that, you should know that I am ninja and was trained by your kickass girlfriend."

"You two seriously creep me out by when you know everything I am about to say." He muttered.

"You're just jealous that you're not as amazing as Widow and I." I replied as I pushed the pedal down more, picking up speed. I shifted into my 6th gear.

"Arcee, how did you learn to drive like this?" My dad asked me. I was very efficient with a stick shift because I may or may not have raced in a few street races.

"Uh... I may or may not be a street racer." I said weakly. I heard various voices say something but it was too jumbled to figure out what they were saying. "You guys calm down! Geesh I can't understand a word you're saying."

"When did you start this?" My father asked.

Next I heard Bruce, "That's dangerous, Arcee!"

Then Nat, "Did you win?"

Followed by Clint, "Thatta Girl."

"I so saw that coming." I heard Percy whisper to Annabeth but since they were wearing the com's everyone heard it clear as day.

Being the amazing child I am I replied with, "1st year of my first college, so 5 years ago. I know Brucie but that's where all the fun is. Actually I did like 85 percent of the time and thanks Birdie. Also Percy, am I really that predictable?"

That's when I put the pedal all the way down to the floor. My car took off and went from 70 to 120 in under 4 seconds. "Am I still predictable?" I asked smirking as I saw a frightened expression on his face through the rear view mirror. I also notice Steve was managing to keep up. Damn that Suburban is faster than I expected.

After a long talk from my father as I continued going this speed and 3 hours later we came upon a city. I checked my gas and notice I only had a quarter tank. "Steve, how much gas do you have left in that thing?" I asked.

"We're running low; we should stop up here at the gas station." Steve replied.

"Agreed." I said slowing my car down as we entered the town. I quickly shifted down to 5th gear, then a few seconds later 4th. By the time we reached the station I was going 30 and on my 2nd gear. I pulled in and shifted to 1st before parking and putting it in park. "I'll fill them up, everyone else go into the store and get whatever you need and use the bathroom if you have to." I instructed.

$200 dollars later we were back in the car and back on our way to Oklahoma, The Sooner State.
