Crossbred (An Avengers and Percy Jackson Crossover)

Chapter 20 Old and New Friends

I felt someone shake my shoulder then I heard his voice. "Arcee, wake up. Arcee. Really, Moon Girl? Percy's a lighter sleeper then you." I could almost hear the smirk in Nico's voice.

"Yea, well I am not Seaweed Brain now am I, Death Breath." I grumbled as I opened my eyes. I yawned and stretched slightly. "Are we there?"

"Yeah, I think we are." Nico stated just as I heard footsteps headed towards us. I stood up drawing my bow and knocking it. I pulled it back and waited for them to emerge. Nico's sword was unsheathed and he was ready. Suddenly two people burst through the trees and I heard Nico gasp. " Valdez?!"

"Hey, Death Breath!" The Hispanic looking one said waving frantically. "Long time no see." His hand was intertwined the female how had dark almond eyes and cinnamon hair. I could already tell that she was the goddess, Calypso.

P-Eat jumped off my shoulder and landed on Nico's as Nico stepped off the raft. As the guys greeted each other Calypso walked over to the edge of the water. "So, you're Artemis' kid, right?" I nodded. "That's a first. I am Calypso, daughter of Atlas and prisoner of Ogygia."

"Nice to meet you Calypso. I am Arcee." I responded with a small smile. "I was wondering, would you and Leo be able to help us? My family, Percy and Annabeth got kidnapped and I managed to escape but Gaia's minions will more than likely hurt them or use them against me. I would be so grateful if you would help us."

"I can't. I am stuck on this island for eternity." She responded with a frown.

"Maybe I can go to Olympus and convince them otherwise. If I could get you freed, then would you help us?" I asked her, already regretting my offer. I mean I would probably get skewered before I even could get a word out.

It took her a moment to think before she looked straight into my soul. "Yes. I would." I nodded.

"Then I'll be off. Don't let Death Breath cause too much trouble, okay?" I joked and she chuckled.

"Don't worry about him. This is good for both him and Leo. Leo hadn't been able to leave since he arrived here again." Calypso frowned slightly.

I placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll fix this. I promise." She nodded then I stepped back into a beam of moonlight. Even though I didn't know what or where Olympus was I just kept wishing I'd appear there. I started picturing a grand place in my mind. A palace amongst the clouds with a godly look to it and I couldn't help but be amazed by what I was seeing in my head. I felt a tug on my stomach and opened my eyes. I groaned when all I saw was the Empire State building. I spoke multiple curses under my breathe then I walked over to the wall and sat down.

I closed my eyes as I tucked my knees under my chin and wrapped my arms around my legs. 'Mom... I know you probably can't hear me or can help me but please I need help. Dad's in trouble. So are the rest of my family and I can't do anything to help them.I feel useless. Mom... I need to help them but I don't know what to do.' That's when the tears I had been holding in spilled out.

I froze when I heard a voice, "Arcee,"

~Tony's POV~

A scream of pain erupted from the back of my throat as yet another blade was dragged along my torso. They had been at this for what seemed to be an eternity but I doubted it could have been for longer than 20 minutes or so. "Where is the daughter of Artemis?!" A woman demanded.

"I don't know and even if I did I'd never tell you!" I spat at her. "I suggest you let all of us go or else you're going to regret it." I suggested through clenched teeth.

The woman just started laughing and then sliced through my torso again. This time I managed to bite back the pain as I tried to remember all the good times with Arcee. I wouldn't break until I died and hopefully my stubbornness with buy her some time.

~Arcee's POV~

My head whipped upward and I saw an image of my mother shimmering in the moonlight. "Mom?! You were actually listening?"

A weak smile appeared on her face. "I am always listening sweetheart, even when it doesn't seem like I am. I just wanted to tell you that when it comes down to it, my hunters and I will have your back. Until then I want you to have her." She gestured to my right and I saw a baby Grey Wolf, which suddenly started growing into a full grown. "I will show you the entrance to Olympus but once you are there I won't be able to help you, for Zeus will punish me for interfering. I am sorry, my daughter. I wish you luck."

"Thank you, Mom." I replied as her image started to shimmer and then it faded away. I looked down at my wolf and smiled, "Now what should I call you? How about Geronimo?"

'Fantastic, for short call me Nemo.' I heard a kind wise voice in my head. My eyebrows furrowed. 'Young one, I've been bonded to you by Lady Artemis. We will always be able to talk through telepathy. I'll also be able to help you in as many battles as possible.'

I smiled, "It's nice to meet you Nemo." Just then the entrance door to my left opened and I figured my mom was keeping her promise. I walked towards the door to see an elevator that was open. Nemo was padding along side me as we entered the elevator. As it closed I took a deep breath. I was about to go talk to a bunch of gods and goddesses that most likely want me dead. The elevator started and the force from the speed forced my to the ground. Maybe I shouldn't have been worrying about the immortals. I should have been worrying about the deathtrap of an elevator.
