Percy Jackson and The Avengers Crossover

Chapter 29

Percy POV:

The new room wasn't bad. Defintely nicer. There was a small cot in the corner, and no huge one-way mirror taking up a whole wall. There was still the table, the two chairs, and the security cameras however. I sat down on the cot, and noticed Natasha lingering by the door. Which was now closed. I glanced up at the cameras, they were off.
I sighed and leaned back onto the wall, "Ok, what are we going to talk about?"
She shot me a look, "You need to tell me everything that's happened in your life. Right now."
"Well," I laughed, "That might take longer than you have. Why would I anyway?"
"Because I'm the only possible ally you have here."
"There's Steve, hey what happened to him anyway?"
She shrugged, "He does that a lot. Sneak off to try and help our younger targets that is. He'll probably be on leave for a week or two and come back like nothing's happened."
"Alright. What do you want to know?" I figured she was my best bet. Also I didn't have to tell her anything, plus she doesn't know much about Camp Half-Blood, I think I can get away without bringing my friends into this.
"Who were those three other men you gave yourself up for?" I thought wrong.
"Before you ask, they're also gods, and one of them is called Nico, that's all I can say. What else do you want to know about them?"
She looked confused. "That's all you can say? Are the other two your superiors? Your bosses?"
"No. Well, not really. Technically they are more powerful than me, but bosses? No."
"Who are they?"
I sighed, may they be alerted by their names, whatever. "They're Hermes and Apollo."
"So you are Greek."
"Like I've been telling you, yes."
"Alright, so where are the other ten Olympians?"
"Hiding."
She tilted her head a slight bit, similar to a cat. "Ok. What did you need to talk to Tony about? I heard you wanted to speak with him without any prying eyes."
I sighed, "You're planning an invaision of the camp I go to every summer right?" Once she nodded I continued, "Well don't. I was telling him that whoever you send there won't make it back."
"Call off your teams then. If you're a god then you must have some control over them."
"Pretty much exactly what Tony said," I almost laughed at her apalled expression, "And I could tell the people there to back off. If it was them that would destroy you. No, it's actually this one primordial god that's after me for stopping his lover from waking up. He wants to torture me for all of eternity. I think, I'm not really sure what exactly he wants but it's something like that." Saying it aloud, the weight of the situation hit me hard. Like a nightmare that you know you could wake up from, but you don't. "Which is also why you need to let me go. Right now."
Natasha looked almost... amused? "Yeah okay. Let's see some of these supposed godly powers and I'll think about it. I still don't really believe you're a god. You're only what, seventeen?"
"Eighteen," I grumbled, "My birthday was two months ago."
"My point."
I stood, "Take me to a pool."
"Oh is this the liquids part? Alright, follow me."
Honestly, I was suprised she was turning her back on me, especially since I just asked to be let out not ten sentances ago. But all the same Natasha opened the door and took me down another hallway. Leading me into a small bathroom. It had a shower however, it'll work.
"Work your magic." She said, gesturing to the room.
I walked over to the small shower head mounted not three meters away from the sink, and turned it on. Although I'd already messed with the plumbing at CHB, I had to perform a show, not a example of power.
Reaching out to the water flowing down the wall and the droplets waiting in the sink pipes, I molded them together, making a picture of the first few feats of my life. I explained nothing however, and was slightly surprised when Natasha started putting names to the pictures. Saying things like, "That's a hydra, and Artemis!" while I worked away.
Right before the battle of Manhattan I let the water drop, and left it. I waited outside the doorway for Natasha to lead me back to the room. She did, and, not surprisingly, she brought up the adventures and battles that probably put me on their watch list in the first place.
"I noticed a few things in those images that I recongnized. The famous arch you destroyed, for example. Care to elaborate on why?"
"There was a dog. It turned into a chimera and I had to kill it. And for the record, I fell off that arch trying to save it."
She gaped, "You fell? How, may I ask, aren't you dead?"
"Convinently landed in a river."
"Oh yes that explains it all. Whatever. What about that time you and some other children were abducted?"
"Oh yeah, we had to retrieve Zeus's lightningbolt from Hades, who we thought had it. But on our way back we discovered Ares was the one who stole it. Also we were never really abducted, the so-called-attacker? That was Ares. It wasn't really a gun fight either. It was a sword match. The winner gets the bolt and lives kinda thing." Why was I telling her this? She worked for the government agency keeping me, and Paul, locked up.
"Oh. Okay. What about that time you and a bunch of other kids were running around Manhattan in Greek armour?"
I froze. While the battle of Manhattan wasn't the one I was haunted by every night as of now, it still wasn't something I liked to relive. At all.
"None of your buisness."
"What?" Natasha seemed confused over why all of a sudden I wasn't being as cooperative.
"You heard me."
She seemed to get the hint. And left.

AN: I want to make this clear right now, Pertasha isn't going to be in this book. They'll be friends and all, eventually, but even though I do not know Black Widow's canon age, they're like 10-15 years apart (As far as I know. Also Percy is just over the minor age limit) and certainly no hate, but I don't feel completely comfortable writing that. Sorry.
Also extra long chapter since it's mostly dialogue!
