Two Worlds, One Goal /Riordanverse & MCU Crossover/ DISCONTINUED

CHAPTER II: WELL, DIDN'T EXPECT THAT

Jason's POV

Jason breathed in and out. This isn't right. He was the son of Jupiter and had controlled the wind before. Why was this time different.

Jason knew the answer. Something about this storm was...off. He couldn't figure out what, but this wasn't right. It came up when there wasn't a single cloud before, and screwed up the Argo II in minutes. That probably wasn't normal in Italy.

Was it one of the wind gods or Khione? They had sided with Gaea, so they wouldn't be below destroying the ship with a freaky storm.

When it first started to rain, Jason had tried to control it. Why would you want it to rain on your date with a hot daughter of Aphrodite? But he couldn't control the storm. Jason knew that it was possible for him to control the weather, being a son of Jupiter. But this storm was exempt from Jupiter's control. Jason hadn't told anyone, not even Piper, about his sudden lack of demigodly powers. He was going to, but he figured that he needed to see Leo and figure out why the ship had jolted like crazy.

Before the ship had suddenly jolted, Jason was trying to control parts of the storm. He could control the wind pretty well. At least he wasn't controlling lightning. That would be a nightmare. Jason wasn't sure how well he could carry a ship.

But he had to do it. If not, they would all die and Gaea would rise.

"One minute!" Leo shouted from the wheel. Well, Wii controller. Yes, the Argo II, built to take the prophesied Seven to Greece to stop Gaea, was steered by a Wii controller. Leo is a much more ADHD demigod than most.

Jason began gathering winds around him. They didn't want to cooperate. Sucks for the wind.

"Thirty seconds," Leo said. "Remember, carry at zero!"

You got this, Jason. You got this, Jason kept telling himself. Hopefully he did have it.

"Three, two, one, now Jason!"

It took a moment longer than Jason liked, but the Argo II was slowly drifting through the air. Now to land in the Italian country side below.

"You good, Jason?" Leo shouted.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think so," Jason replied. "Where do I land?"

"I seriously don't care just don't crash the ship," Leo answered.

Jason started to gently tilt the ship downwards. Or was he doing it upwards. Wait what was happening?

"Leo? What the Hades is happening?"

"You're doing fine! Given the situation, everything looks good. You good?" Leo said.

"I, I don't know," Jason said. "This wind is weird. Uncooperative. It's never been so hard to con-control." The last word he stuttered as he almost collapsed. The ship fell for a moment. Jason caught it. This storm really hated him.

"Jason!" Leo ditched the Wii controller and ran to Jason with a look of concern on his face. "Holy Hephaestus, what's wrong?!"

"I, I don't know," Jason said quietly. "This wind, it refuses to be guided by me. I can barely do it."

"Mm, OK. New plan. Piper! We need your help!" Leo said. "Sit down Jason. I dunno what's happening, but if you kill yourself, then I will find a way to kill you."

As Jason sat down, leaning against the mast, Piper came running towards them. "My gods, Jason! What in the name of Aphrodite are ya doing?"

"Pipes, I'm alright," Jason said.

"Piper, this storm is shiftier than we thought. Jason can't control the winds very well. I have a Plan B, but it's a lot more dangerous than Plan A," Leo said.

"OK. OK, what is it?" Piper asked.

"If Jason tries to control the winds much more, I think he'll pass out, and then we all go KA-BLOOM!" Leo explained. "We need him to help guide the Argo II to land. But I don't think we need him to carry the ship hundreds of feet down to land. At around 50 feet is when we absolutely need him. What if we fall for a couple of seconds until we get that low, and then he guides the ship?"

Jason looked at Leo. That idea was very dangerous, but was the best bad idea they had. He looked at Piper. She was terrified, but willing to help.

"What do I do?" Piper asked.

"Well, Jason might need some...moral support. If he is about to black out after controlling the wind for five minutes, he'll need help. Charmspeak?" Leo said.

Genius, Jason thought. Leo might not be Annabeth, but he could make a plan.

"Pipes, if you use your Charmspeak on me, I might be able to guide the ship to whatever is below us," Jason said.

Piper looked reluctant. "I'll do it. Just, don't die on me, please."

Jason laughed. "I won't."

Leo ran to tell Frank, Hazel, Nico, and Coach Hedge the plan, when he got back, he said, "I'll warn you at 100 feet. At fifty, catch the ship and land. Ready to plummet to the Earth?"

"No, but will I ever be?" Jason said as he let go of the winds and the ship plummeted to the Italian landscape.

They were falling fast. Jason could hardly hear a word. He heard Leo's "120!" and Piper telling him he could do it. He grabbed her hand and smiled at her. "100!" Leo shouted.

He began to collect his thoughts and grab at the winds.

"Jason, control the wind, darling. Please?" Piper said in a sweet voice. Jason was subconsciously aware that is was charmspeak, but that didn't matter. He desperately wanted to do what the drop-dead gorgeous Piper had told him to do. "Please do hurt yourself, Jason."

Jason tried, and when he heard, "Fifty! Go Jason!" and Piper's calming voice, he caught the ship and gently landed it.

"Oh my gods, you did it Jason!" Piper shouted. Jason smiled. He was so tired. But he made Piper happy, so what else mattered?

"Uh, guys?" Leo said in astonishment. "Where the Hades are we?"

The others came up. Nico got there first, looked around, and said, "This isn't Italy. Africa or South America, maybe India?"

"What the heck?" Frank said.

"How?" Hazel asked.

Jason looked around. They were in some rainforest. The Congo or the Amazon. How?

The storm started to disappear. It was humid and Jason felt even more like passing out. And he did. The last things he heard were the rest of the crew asking how and where, the Argo II leaning toward the ground, and a man with a heavy accent saying, "Who are you? Where are you from? You need help."
