Chapter 8

The silence was eerie and was only broken when Rachel woke up on the chair she collapsed on.

Tony: What the hell was that?
Percy: (wincing at Tony's choice of words) That is Rachel our oracle and she just said the prophecy. And as always Wise Girl is right, this is a war.

Cries of protest rang out for the brewing war.

Chiron: Quite. We cannot lose our heads, we will take this slowly. I know that we all have experience with war and we all know that chaos is the way we lose.
Annabeth: You are right Chiron, let's break down the prophecy.
Natasha: Well if I remember correctly it went like this;
There are 8 to be revealed,
To join the mortals' shield,
In a fight for the earth,
A mother brought forth,
Beware evil wears many masks,
Before you make your attacks,
Look at the facts.

Piper: It's obvious that the 8 is the 7 plus Calypso and the mortals are you guys because your part of S.H.I.E.L.D. But who is the mother?
Annabeth: I think the mother is an important figure because the fates mentioned her too.
Percy: But it could be anybody why can't anything ever be easy!
Leo: You've been through so many prophecies you think the oracles gonna give you a break now. Come on Pearce you have to be an expert at deciphering these things by now.
Percy: (sticks out tongue)
Calypso: (rolls eyes) Boys
Chiron: Well it is now nightfall, I think it best you join the rest of camp at the dining pavilion and we will discuss again tomorrow.
****I am a Timeskip****

Coulson's team bunked with Perce and the Avengers bunked in the Zeus cabin. As the morning horn blew signaling breakfast time they rushed out and went to the pavilion. The mortals had grown accustomed to joining  the demigods in sacrificing some of their food for a god. The mortals just prayed for every god's guidance as they had no personal connection to the gods.
After breakfast they went to the big house and Chiron instructed the mortals to follow around the 8 to learn in their classes.

Daisy, May, and Romanoff went with Annabeth and Piper to their sparring class. The mortals were amazed at the speed of the demigods as they fought, even the youngest ones seem to move expertly.
Tony, Bruce, Fitz, and Simmons went with Leo and Calypso to the forges under the Hephaestus Cabin. Tony was all over the place, trying to take in all the cool designs while Leo was talking also fast trying to explain every project to his new found idol. Bruce and Fitz sit on the sidelines admiring that such you people could engineer such advanced technology. Calypso and Simmons discussed different healing methods as it was very frequent that someone got injured while working in the forge.
Percy had a sword fighting class and Thor insisted on seeing the young demigod's skill. Percy was legendary among the gods, he was truly the perfect hero. Let's just say when Percy was done demonstrating Thor's jaw dropped so low it created a crater in the arena.
Lastly, Coulson, Fury and Rogers went with Hazel to Camp Jupiter to ask for their aid.
