Powerful Families

{XII} Annabeth

I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched. It was weird. But at the moment we had other things to worry about. Tony decided to have a get together with the Avengers to hang out with us and get to know us better. It sounded like so much fun. Note the sarcasm. We didn't even have time to go back to Percy's room and get an update on the search after the theme park before everyone arrived at 6 pm. There was only myself, Percy, the Avengers and Pepper, so we all went to sit in the lounge.

"Alright, I know this is childish, but it's also fun," Stark said. Oh no, what does he want to do? He laughed at all our worried faces. "Let's play truth or dare." We all groaned. "Come on. It'll be fun. I'll go first. Percy, truth or dare."

"Err... I'll start safe and go truth." Percy braced himself.

"Ok, what would you do if you and Annabeth broke up?" Stark asked. Pepper slapped him on the arm but looked at Percy eagerly. I stared at my maybe ex, depending on his answer, boyfriend expectantly.

"Oh, that's easy. I'd get back with my ex." He grinned.

I looked at him wide-eyed. "Oh really? And which ex would this be?"

"You. If we broke up you would be my ex, hence I'd get back with my ex." Percy cheekily smirked at me. Everyone else aww'ed. I rolled my eyes and gave him a kiss. Without him realising it, he just made my day. "Ok, who's next." He continued. "Umm... Thor. Truth or dare."

"What sort of question is that? Dare obviously." Thor boomed.

"Ok. I dare you to fly to the nearest pizza place and get us some dinner. I'm starving." Percy rubbed his stomach. Thor sighed and held out his hand. From the corner of the room, his hammer flew into his hand. He walked to the window, spun his hammer and flew out the window. We all sat there awkwardly for a couple of minutes.

"So Percy. How's the search for your parents going?" Steve asked.

"Other than the fact we know they are in Russia, we have no idea. We've got Jarvis on 24-hour surveillance though." Percy replied.

"Actually, that's a good point," Tony spoke up. "Jarvis? Have there been any sightings of Sally and Paul since the last one?" There was no response. "Jarvis?" Still nothing. "How peculiar. I'll be back in a sec." A minute later, Tony came back. "Jarvis was turned off. And I mean the switch was flipped to off. Someone manually turned him off."

Clint and Natasha quickly looked at each other but no one else noticed, so I didn't say anything. Just then, Thor came back carrying 9 pizzas and breaking the tension. We all cheered.

"Is it my turn now?" Thor asked. "Umm... Banner truth or dare."

"Truth," Bruce said a little too quickly.

"Where is the most embarrassing place you've turned into the hulk?" Thor asked. Bruce went bright red and murmured something.

"Sorry? What was that?" Thor put his hand behind his ear.

"A public bathroom." Everyone was trying to contain their laughter. "You don't get it. He looked over and it made me angry." At that point, no one could contain their laughter any longer. Each minute we laughed, Bruce got redder. And we laughed for a full on 5 minutes. At one point, Percy was laughing so hard he fell off his chair, which made the rest of us laugh harder. It wasn't until Natasha told us to stop laughing that we noticed Bruce turning green. 

We waited for a little while for him to calm down before it was his go. "Nat. Truth or dare?"

"Hmmm, truth."

"Ok, what happened in Budapest?" Everyone's eyes went to Clint and Natasha. Percy and I quickly glanced at each other not knowing what was going on.

"Sorry guys, but what happened in Budapest stays in Budapest." She clinked glasses with Clint before continuing the game. "Clint. Truth or dare?"

"Dare obviously. I'm no wimp."

"Ok then." She said. "I dare you to make an incredibly romantic and breathtaking marriage proposal to, um... Thor. I mean unless you're too much of a wimp."

"Ok ok, I'll do your little dare." He grabbed a gummy ring out of a bowl on the table and knelt down in front of Thor. Tony got his phone out and started recording. Percy and I weren't using the phone so we should be fine. Right?

Hi,

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I should probably try and sort out an uploading schedule that I know I'm never gonna stick to. I've been suffering from a lot of writer's block recently, so I hope that doesn't affect me in my English exams next week.

Please continue to read, vote, comment, share, and follow. I'm following everyone back. 

Later gators :) x
