Widow's Child (Fem Percy Jackson and Avengers Crossover)

Chapter 10

Once again, Percy was stuck at the farmhouse with the Bartons. Not that she didn't love them, she just was bored. 

Her mom wasn't home with Clint yet, and it had been at least a week. Aunt Laura was getting worried, but Percy could tell she was putting up a face for the younger ones.

Percy was currently helping Aunt Laura bake cookies (she never remembered the blue food coloring. How terrible! Thank god Percy was there to help) when her Aunt stopped for a second.

"Percy," she said really quietly, "Can you call your uncle real quick and tell him that my water just broke?"

"Yeah! I'll go get the phone!"

"Just hurry!"

Percy rushed into the hallway and grabbed the phone off the wall before dialing the number.

"Hello?"

Percy smiled, "Hey Uncle Bucky! Aunt Laura said to call you because she dropped some water or something."

"Um Percy, are you sure she didn't mean your Uncle Clint?" Some wind was racing one the other end, so Percy guessed he was coming.

"Possibly, she just said 'Uncle'. Are you almost here?"

"Yeah... um, why don't you call Uncle Clint right now, okay?" 

"Sure!"

Percy hung up, before calling a new number.

"Hey Mr. Tony! Is Uncle Clint there?"

"Sure kiddo, you're on speaker, so he can hear you."

"Hey Uncle Clint, Aunt Laura wanted me to call because she dropped some water or something. Uncle Bucky is already coming, so I guess the water was really important."

Silence.

"Uncle Clint?"

"Hey Perce, can you make sure Aunt Laura is okay while you wait for me and the others come?"

"Sure! See you soon!"

Lila and Cooper were currently running around in the woods, playing spies, so Percy was the only one home with Laura when the men were on their way.

In just a few minutes, Bucky was there with a helicopter and on the phone with someone.

"Yeah, New York General. Tony? Howard's kid? Just as long as he doesn't kill them. Yeah, I'm here. No, I didn't crash the copter. Yeah, I'll see you at the hospital."

He turned towards Percy, who was sitting on the floor near Laura. 

"Wait here until Tony and Steve come. Tell Cooper and Lila to behave for them, I'll be back as soon as Nat and Clint are taking care of Aunt Laura. Okay?"

Percy nodded, before repeating the debreifing. "Be good for Steve and Tony. Got it!"

Bucky nodded before calling Laura from upstairs. The two left, after Laura reminded Percy to take care of the cookies so they wouldn't burn.

In just a few minutes, Percy heard the door ring. Like a normal child, she crept around to the second floor window and peered down towards the door. Steve and Tony were standing awkwardly in the doorway, glaring at eachother.

Percy flung open the screen of the window and jumped out towards the men.

"Catch me!" she yelled.

Panicked, the men looked up to a child falling out of the air. Out of instinct alone, Steve caught her.

"Yay! Now let's go get the cookies out of the oven!" Percy jumped out of his arms and raced inside, leaving the shocked men on the porch. 

Percy raced inside, and without oven mits, pulled the cookies out of the oven. She happily grabbed a cookie for herself, before putting the rest on the counter. She ran past the men, back outside and whistled a little three note melody, which sounded like a bird call, and then raced back inside.

"Cooper and Lila are playing spies, but they should be coming for cookies. Uncle Bucky said he'd come as soon as Aunt Laura is with Uncle Clint and my mommy," she briefed them.

They nodded, before each grabbing an offered cookie.

It was about half an hour later when they heard helicopter blades coming nearby. Lila and Cooper had run in and out, without talking to the three others, going back out to play spies.

It was a big surprise to Steve mostly when his childhood friend came through the door.

Percy watched from the other room as Steve stood in shock. Tony was clearly not paying attention to the visitor, but was still somewhat currious.

"Steven Grant Rodgers. I hate your new outfit."

Percy smiled before running outside, grabbing Tony on her way out.

"Mr. Tony," she said, "can you finish fixing the tractor?"

They got to the barn doors, with Tony slightly confused, "Why so sudden? I've been here for a while," he said.

Percy cackled somewhat evily for a small child. "Mr. Steve will become Uncle Steve soon enough," she giggled.

"So no Uncle Tony, but Uncle Steve?"

"When you marry one the others, then you can be uncle Tony."

"And who will Steve marry? I'm pretty sure Peggy is 'Grandma Peggy'."

"Stucky"

"What?"

"Go fix the tractor while Steve and Bucky flirt. You said you would."

"Okay kid, just stay nearby, I know the other kids went off on their own, but your mom is more likly to kill me than their dad."

"Okay Mr. Tony."

On the other end of the field, two kids climbed out of the ground. One was an emo looking kid, who was about 15, and a kind looking girl who was about 13. The boy had a pale olive complexion, and appeared to be sporting his favorite color, black, and the girl had warm brown skin, and very curly golden hair, but was wearing a dress that looked like it was taken out of a museam about the 20's.

"Where are we?" said the girl, not recognizing the surroundings.

"I don't know, but we can just ask someone over at the farm over there."

Percy was playing with the chickens, feeding them and petting them, when she heard someone behind her. She new it wasn't the loudest chicken, Thor, because he was standing next to Tony, the second loudest chicken, in front of her.

"Excuse me?"

Percy whipped around, and noticed the two teenagers.

"Where are we?" The girl asked.

Percy responded by screaming and running towards the barn, not the response the kids expected.

They turned and got ready to leave to see if there was anyone else nearby, when they noticed the guns pointed at their faces.
