Avengers Initiative: Percy Jackson

Here I Go Again (Meeting the Man of Iron)

Percy POV

Alright, Percy. Play it cool. Even if the gods told you all about them, it doesn't mean that you have to know them. So, play clueless, shouldn't be so hard. I thought to myself as I looked at Stark, who had removed his mask to look at me. I capped Riptide as covertly as I could, trying to make sure he couldn't see my sword.

"Are you Percy Jackson?" He asked, looking slightly dazed as he gazed at me. I wiped the dirt off of my hands and arms, answering him,

"Who else would I be? Oprah? Who are you?"

"You mean you don't know me? You've never heard of Iron Man? Kid, are you isolated at home? Do you have TV?" He asked me incredulously. I shook my head no. I mean, my mom does have a TV, just in case, you know, I end up showing up on the news, but we rarely watch it when I'm there. The only reason I know who Tony Stark is- is because of Annabeth. She would talk nonstop about this guy's accomplishments.

He so amazing, Percy.

He the first to have an entire building run on clean energy, Percy.

He's an architectural genius, Percy.

"Nope," I replied, popping the 'p' and wincing in me head at the little green monster that jumped out of its grave. There's no need to be jealous when your girlfriend is dead.

"Dude, come on!," he said, throwing his hands up in defeat. I had to bite the inside of my cheek in order to not laugh.

~Sir, I believe that Director Fury is on his way here, along with the Avengers~ I frowned at the unseen voice. Seeing my expression, Tony smirked and said,

"That's JARVIS. He's an Artificial Intelligence program that I created. He controls most, if not all, of my technology," I nodded, pretending to know what the hell he was talking about, as the sound of a jet reached my ears. I turned to look at the black jet the came down as smoothly as Blackjack did when he landed. The door of the F16 opened and Director Fury walked out with Steve, Natasha, Clint, and Banner; Thor landed next to the one eyed man, along with his brother, who had a combination of distrust, nervousness, and boredom on his face. It almost made me want to laugh at him.

"Percy Jackson," Fury said, once he was in front of me.

"Yo."

"I am Nick Fury, Director of S.H.E.I.L.D. These people behind me are the Avengers," He gestured to Tony and all them, "I was sent by the Counsel to bring you into HQ; where you will be evaluated and tested to see if you'd be a good fit in the Avenger's program."

"Alright," I said, nonchalantly as I crossed my arms and gazed at the mixed up group that they had.

"Whoa, kid, you're just going to say yes? Just like that?" Steve asked, confused.

"Yeah, I mean it's not like I'd have a choice, isn't that right Fury?" I looked at the one eyed man pointedly. He nodded, but kept quiet. As expected.

"Perseus, it's nice to see you again," Thor commented, offering his hand to shake. I smiled at the God of Thunder and shook his hand... almost instantly regretting it; Gods did he have a strong grip.

"You too, Thor, Loki." The God of Mischief just nodded. I guess he was still holding himself above everyone.

"So, you know their names, but you don't know mine?!" Tony asked incredulously.

"Well, lets just say that my family makes deals with his family. So, yeah, I've gotten to meet them before." I answered, moving my hair out of my face. It was time to get it cut again.

"I'm sorry to hear of Lady Annabeth; she was truly remarkable," I winced at Loki's words as he spoke and familiar feelings, of sadness and pain and rage, began to rise inside of me.

"Yeah, she was, wasn't she? You know you guys will have to come back sometime; she finished remodeling the whole place, you know after the fight." Thor nodded enthusiastically as I clamped down on my emotions; this wasn't the time to breakdown. I glanced at Fury, who stood silently, and narrowed my eyes, just a bit, "So are we going to go then?"

So this was kind of a filler chapter, which I will try to not to put so many in this story. So, sorry it's so short.
