Percy P.O.V.

Dinner was... awkward. To say the least. Tony, Clint, Steve, Bruce, Natasha, Thor, Fury -Who decided to come over and deliver some things- Thalia, Nico, and I were all sitting at the table not saying anything. To make matters worse, we were having cooked fish, eagle, and black ram. I didn't want to start a war with my cousins so I wasn't eating anything. After about ten minutes of us three just sitting there, Tony spoke up. "What's wrong?" In sync Thalia, Nico, and I spoke. "Not Hungry. Big Lunch" Tony frowned before he kept eating. "So, Perseus." Bruce started. "Percy. Just Percy." Bruce nodded. "Percy... How are you and Tony related?"

I frowned as my mom's image entered my mind. "My mom is- Was Tony's brother. And these two are my cousins from my first dad's side. Thalia's Dad is older than Nico's dad." Natasha looked up from her food. "Was?" I frowned and looked down. "She was murdered." Nico said without emotion. "Earlier today." Thalia added. "I am sorry to hear that." Steve added. "I'm sure she was a wonderful woman." I abruptly stood up and left to the elevator. "I'll deal with many things." I started as I walked away. "Pity isn't one of them." I rode the elevator to my floor and just sat against my bedroom door.

"Meow?" My head shot up and my eyes landed on a black and white kitten with green eyes and a dark blue collar. It was small and I could see it's ribs poking out. It meowed again and I grabbed for riptide. It tilted it's head to the side as someone knocked at my door. I opened it and there stood Thalia and Nico. "Percy! We're so sor- Is there a cat in here?" Thalia asked while cutting herself off mid sentence. It meowed again and walked towards my bag. We slowly followed it as it tried to open the bag. I hesitated, pulled riptide out of my pocket and opened it. The kitten pulled out something with it's mouth and dropped it at my feet. I picked it up and saw it was a tiny jem with cracks that separated the different colors. The kitten turned to Thalia, meowed, and looked back at the jem. Thalia took it from me and growled. "It's a tracking device. The god's sent it." As she dropped it the kitten took it from her again and went to one of the few windows that actually could be opened. I opened it and the kitten leapt down to an escape ladder and waited for us.

I shrugged at Thalia and Nico before following. We followed it across town to a decent sized house before it stopped. It dropped the stone next to a lake and stared at me. I used the water to destroy it and it nodded and gave a cat like grin. It meowed at Nico and then walked up to one of the house windows. He followed and looked inside. Thalia stepped up to him and frowned. I stepped up and realized what was wrong. Will Solace from camp, Nico's crush and Doctor was inside. He was looking down at a picture with tears in his eyes. The kitten tilted it's head at us and I was able to see part of the name tag. -per. "We can't tell Will." Nico said after a minute before starting back. I frowned as I knew Nico loved Will. The kitten nodded, hopped down, and started back the way we came. Thalia picked the kitten up and looked at the name tag. "Her name is Pepper. When we get back let's search this address." We nodded and as Nico shadow-travel us to the tower Waiting for us in my room, was Thor. "Ah! Perseus Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico Di Angelo. It is an honor! He bowed to us and I had him stand up.

"Please. Don't Bow." I said. He nodded. "Of Course. It's Just That I Have Heard Stories Of Your Adventures On Asgard And I Am A Big Fan." I looked at Thalia and Nico and thought of something. "If we give you our autograph will you not mention anything about us being heroes?" Thor looked like he might faint and nodded eagerly. I pulled out riptide (Which I had figured out how to use as a pen) and wrote my name on a piece of paper. Thalia and Nico quickly followed and we gave it to him. "Thank you, Perseus." I smiled. "Just Percy." He nodded before leaving.

Thalia got on one of the computers and searched something. "That's Sad." Thalia said with a frown. "Pepper's home burnt down and her owners didn't live. Let's ask Tony if we can keep her." Before me and Nico could say anything, Thalia was gone and waiting in the elevator. I turned to Nico. "Do you want a cat?" He frowned and shrugged. Still upset about seeing Will. We followed Thalia to the elevator and traveled downstairs. Upon the elevator opening everyone turned to us like they weren't expecting anyone else in the building. "Hi." Thalia said, whilst still holding Pepper. "where's Tony?" Natasha was staring at us as she pointed to the kitchen. Thalia started off followed by me and Nico.

Tony was in the kitchen, sitting at the counter, looking at something on his computer, and drinking some liquor. "Tony." Thalia said, startling both him and Pepper. "We found a kitten without a home. Can we keep her?" Tony looked over at Pepper who Thalia had placed in front of him. Pepper knelt down so it almost looked like she was bowing to Tony. Tony smiled at this and looked at her tag. "Her name is Pepper. Her old owners died in a fire." Thalia explained. Tony petted her and Pepper purred. He smiled and nodded. "Fine. But you three have to take care of her. We also need to take her to the vet." As he said that, Bruce walked in and looked down at her.

"I can give it a check-up." He said. Tony nodded. "Bam. Tomorrow you three buy supplies for Pepper and Bruce will check up on her. Pepper nodded and leapt down from the counter and meowed. I could still see her ribs and grabbed the leftovers from my dinner. She waited as I heated them up and we traveled towards the elevator again. Natasha, Clint, Steve, and Thor watched as we entered the elevator again.

As we traveled up Thalia smiled at something before shouting out. "RAINBOW! We Should Make Nico's Room A Rainbow!" Nico turned dark red as I started laughing.

As we reached my floor I laid down the food on the floor and Pepper bit into it like she hadn't eaten in months. Which she probably had. As she ate I had Nico grab a box from my room and Thalia some not-in-use blankets. I used Riptide to cut a hole in the top of the box, laid it upside down, and used the blankets to lay out some padding for Pepper. "I can't believe we're actually keeping a cat." Nico said as he stared at a eating Pepper. "You know. Pepper looks just as thin as you were before meeting Will. You haven't improved much but you have." Thalia said out of nowhere. I grinned as I knew where she was going with this. "Thalia. If you continue I will throw you off the roof." He threatened as Thalia turned pale. I grinned. "Nonsense. Pepper just needs a golden Doctor who makes her blush. Just like a certain Death-Breath."

Tony P.O.V.

"I can't believe you never told us you had a sister." Natasha said as her and the other Avengers walked into the kitchen. "I can't believe you let them have a cat." Clint added I shrugged. "I knew her but she was sent to an Orphanage upon Birth. When she was adopted I couldn't find her and when her parents died in a plane crash I thought she had died too. It was pointless. Plus, the cat's cute." Thor looked like he was gunna say something when Percy ran into the kitchen with his angry emo cousin on his heels. As they ran around the kitchen Percy yelled at his cousin. "I'M SORRY! NEEK'S, I'M SORRY! STOP! HOW WOULD SOLACE FEEL IF I TOLD ABOUT THIS! STOP!" Nico didn't stop as Percy ran back out the kitchen with him in tow.
