I do not own the Avengers or the Percy Jackson characters. I own my OC's.

NICO'S POV:

It's been one and a half months. Everyone had been worrying about Percy. Especially me. not Clarisse though. I think i was the only one who hadn't been told what went down at the meeting and why Percy disappeared. For some weird ass reason, people though that he's dead. Of course, if they believed he's dead and they have documents of his death, there had to be a reason why he faked his death. So I didn't tell anyone he was not in the Underworld.

"I can't believe Percy's dead!" Will said at dinner one night. I choked on my water.

"Oh no!" I awkwardly faked surprise. "Um. I gotta go take a shit!"

I stood and immediately fled leaving Will confused and suspicious. I sighed as I shut my cabin's door not realizing that I wasn't alone.

"Funny..." I hear a voice. I shrieked in surprise and covered my mouth immediately. I blushed, too embarrassed to say anything. The person was in a corner of the cabin, hidden in the shadows. "To think that all those people are mourning the loss of a half-blood but just five minutes ago, they blamed him for everything."

I balled my fists. "Who are you?" I growled, preparing for an attack.

"How rude of me." They stood up and started walking but remained in the shadows. "I'd introduce myself but you already know who I am and what's the point of introducing ones self when you've already done it years prior?" It took me a moment to process what they just said. "Nico...we need your help..."

"I'd rather know who's asking for the Ghost Kings help before offering it." I got into a defensive position.

"Good gods, Nico, I could easily destroy you. I taught you that stance remember?"

I mentally did a cartwheel as I bolted over to hug my cousin. "PERCY!" I shouted, quickly shushed. "Sorry..." I whispered. "What are you doing here? Why do you need my help? And who was the 'we' in your question?"

"Well first, I'm here because we need your help, two I will explain why later and three the 'we' is them..." he nodded towards the other corners and the door. In one corner, there was a girl, sixteen give or take, with dark skin and an odd looking gun. In another, there was a boy also probably sixteen with messy brown hair in a Spider-Man costume. The final corner, there was an older girl, with brown-blonde hair. When I turned to the doorway, I couldn't help but gasp. Another girl, towering over me, her eyes glowed red but then didn't and had scars pretty much everywhere on the skin that I could see.

"Wait..." I started. "Why is that guy dressed as Spider-Man?"

"Hi!" He greeted with a smile. "I'm Peter Parker!" My jaw dropped. Percy laughed and tapped my shoulder. I faced back to him.

"What the fuck is going on, Perseus Jackson?!" I loudly whisper, immediately shushed by everyone else in the cabin.

"I'm an Avenger now, Nico. Poseidon disowned me but Zeus was unable to banish me before I got kidnapped by the Norse goddess of death, Hela. Familiar?" My eyes narrowed and I nodded. "Figures. Anyway! Before I could whither away into nothingness, Loki, he transferred some of his blood to me so now, I no longer have the powers of Poseidon but the powers of the god of Mischief."

"So you're telling me. That you really no longer have any connections with the Greek gods?" I whispered.

"Well...maybe?" He responded. "more like, no blood connection."

"That's fucking insane but awesome at the same time!" I laughed. "Wait. Why hadn't anyone told me about this? I knew people believed you to be dead but they never told me why you disappeared before they got the documents about your death! Ugh!" I crossed my arms angrily as Percy pulled me into a hug. I tried crawling out of it but he mockingly started to pet my head. I hissed.
