Percy Jackson and The Avengers Crossover

Chapter 21

Steve POV:
Trying to piece this together was more difficult than you'd imagine.
First one kid teleports around a building, then they all claim I've been blessed by a goddess, and third they're saying death isn't an obstacle. Since when?
"So Steve," Percy interrupts my thought, "Why don't you tell me what you're doing here?"
He catches me off guard, and with my jumbled thoughts and I strain to form an answer.
I take a moment to re-collect myself.
Percy said that I'd know once he introduced his friends. My thoughts can wait until then. Now I have to focus on not getting killed because I am in a car with possible terrorists and- it actually clicks that I'm in a car with terrorists. What have I gotten myself into?
Steve. These people can be no older than 20. They are just kids really. Give them an opportunity out and if they don't take it, you've fought twice this many highly-trained operatives and come out alive. You'll be fine.
My inner monolouging was helping. I shoved my thoughts aside, and responded,
"I told you. I wanted to warn you,"
"I know that. But why?"
"Because you're not that old, I thought maybe you'd been forced into whatever you're doing. I wanted to give you a way out that doesn't involve jail,"
It was the teleporter who responded, "What is this way out?"
"I could reason with my boss, talk him out of jailing you. Maybe even put your bosses behind bars. Or if that's not an option, you seemed skilled, join S.H.I.E.L.D. Hell, even the Avengers, we have Scarlet Witch after all,"
Percy snorted at that, but responded,
"Not going to happen. But let me introduce my friends and maybe you'll know why,"
He gestured with one hand at each person and called their name.
"The sulky pale boy over there is Nico," Nico scowled at him, "The less-sulky black haired one is Hermes, and the blinding one is Apollo,"
I paused, Hermes, Apollo. The Greek gods? They do claim to know Athena, and Thor does exist, however that doesn't mean it wasn't a complete surprise.
"Wait you're gods? The Greek gods Hermes and Apollo?"
"The one and only! Wait, ones and only?"
Hermes simply covered Apollo's mouth and confirmed my statement.
"Then who are you guys?" I asked, gesturing to Nico and Percy.
They didn't reply, didn't even have time to actually, as there was a thud on the roof, and someone pried open the door.
Percy swerved to the side, hit the brakes, and rolled out, followed by Nico, the two gods, and I.
I ran out of the line of fire immediately, and saw Natasha staring at me. She didn't say anything, just nodded, understanding.
