*Steve* ~The morning after Visiting Olympus~

Everyone was up by 8:30 the next morning which was unusual. Normally, Percy would be the second to get up at about 8:20ish and everyone would slowly trickle down, the last normally being Tony at about 9:30. So this was early.

We were all eating breakfast when Percy spoke

"Guys, I'm going to go back to camp today, help them prepare for war if Tartarus targets them. Hopefully, it will be the last war, as far as demigods are concerned, for a long time." He sighed. From what Percy had told us, they had, had 3 wars in the past 4 years.

"Do you mind if I come with you? I could help with the weapons?" Tony said, surprisingly.

"That's fine. Anyone who wants to come, can." Percy said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "We need to leave in about 30 minutes, is that ok?" Again, everyone nodded. I was glad I could help. These were kids being made to fight. It's not right.

~Time skip, just arrived at camp~ *Percy*

I lead the avengers to the top of the hill by camp. I stood and lent on Thalia's tree. I was hoping to see the hunters here so that I could see Thalia. I hadn't seen her since the war, but I really missed her and Nico. (Not like that, just like friends.)

Too my surprise, I spotted about 30 girls, all armed with bows heading up here, lead by Artemis and Thalia, Nico and all of the other campers were following.

I walked forwards and then heard an

"Ouch!"

Thor and Loki and I who, had walked the through he barrier, turned too see Clint laying on the ground.

"Oh, sorry Clint. I forgot to let you in." I was trying to suppress a smile, but failed. Soon, Thor, Loki and I were all rolling on the floor laughing as Clint, Tony, Steve, Natasha and Bruce all tried to get through a barrier, which they couldn't see.

"Ok, ok, guys wait a sec." I said what I needed to say to let them in.

"Why could they get in?" Tiny said sulkily.

"They're gods." I said simply.

By this time the Hunters and campers had arrived. They looked at me in... Shock... I think?

"P...Percy?" One camper said and I nodded.

The next thing I knew, I was at the bottom of the biggest bundle of campers. The hunters didn't join it and I heard some mutterings about "Boys!"

However, once I was able to stand again, I was given a hug by... Artemis? "It's good to see you home again." Artemis said. She let go and I was immediately thrown backwards... Straight into Loki.

I stood up and saw that it was Thalia and Nico who had pushed me. I stood up and I could feel Loki fuming next to me.

"It's been AGES Jackson! Just one trip up here, to say you were ok! Your such a seaweed brain!..." Thalia said but soon regretted it as she saw my mood drop from my nickname. The one Annabeth called me. I looked down. Loki immediately stepped forwards.

"Stupid HalfBlood. First you push Percy and then-" Loki started but I then interrupted by saying

"Loki, I'm fine, really. Don't worry. I'm getting over it." I said still looking down. I took a breath.

"Ok, so." All the campers were now here. "These are the Avengers" I introduced them one by one. "You may or may not know about the upcoming war. You will not be fighting in it!" I said. This launched a load of protest.

"Quiet!" I shouted.

"What do you mean 'YOU will not be fighting'? Does that mean that you still are?" Thalia asked me. Trust her to pick up on that.

"Yes, the avengers and I will be fighting." This launched a second load of protests.

"No, I have a condition with the gods if any of you fight, including the Hunters." I was talking about handing my self over, but they didn't know that.

"Percy, you now what will happen if you do that." Artemis said sharply. Yes, of course I know I would probably be torchered but that's better than the demigods and hunters fighting and dying.

"Of course I do but if they fight, I will not hesitate to do it." I said, just as sharply back to her. Thalia looked confused. I shook my head at her.

"Anyway, as you will not be fighting, you are not in any immediate danger however, you may still be targeted. So the Avengers and I are going to train you! Natasha - hand to hand combat, Steve - battle plans and defences, Tony and Bruce - weapons. Thor and Loki - sword fighting... Loki don't kill anyone please. Clint - Archery. Cabin leaders go to each section that you are best at and improve. For example, Athena cabin," I felt my throat tighten... that was Annabeth's cabin. " Athena Cabin, go with Steve." I finished and walked to the big house to talk to Chiron.
