Unknown Family

Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and last but definitely not the least, Iron Man. He was a man known for many names by many people. But, what he was not known for was for being a secret brother in the family.

As it turns out, the reason his mother didn't come home for a whole year when he was young, was because a man had forced himself on her. Out of guilt, she couldn't call for abortion and instead decided to have the girl. Thankfully enough, records say that that man has been punished and is now presumed dead.

Still, that didn't make up for the fact that he had a whole sister out there who probably didn't even know of her true family heritage. Even though his mother had built up enough will power to not kill the child in the womb, she didn't exactly plan on raising the child herself. Instead, she put her up for adoption.

Sally Jackson Blofis. He knew that was her name now.

Now, his little sister had already lived a happy childhood without her true biological family. Now, she had already fallen in love and married without having her older brother to protect her from harm. Now, he had a nephew that he never met nor supported.

Now he feels the same guilt his mother had felt. The only difference is that he dares to go and do the right thing.

He was gonna fix the family.

...

"-and then I said 'Yeah, right, as if!' Ooohhhh, you should have seen the way I kicked his ass! Then I was like-"

"Sure, Seaweed Brain." A soft yet playful chuckle escaped Annabeth's lips.

Percy smiled as far as he could. He felt happy being able to talk to the love of his life. At this very moment with her, he felt safe.

Even if he was just talking to an image of light.

"-erce! Percy!" Annabeth called. "Are you alright? Were you even listening to me?..."

"Sorry, I just got really distracted from your beauty." He kept grinning.

"Yeah, yeah. Sure. But look, I kind of need to go now...There's something I need to do. I'll talk to you later, okay?" Her soft and soothing voice filled Percy's ears.

"Sure. Love you, Wise Girl." He responded before seeing Annabeth wave her hands, ending the connection.

Several moments after listening to hardcore music and drawing fish, our protagonist heard a knock coming from the front door.

He took out his headphones to hear the several people that have gathered downstairs. He looked down his window to see a large crowd has come together downstairs alongside several camera crews and news reporters.

Strange. Percy thought as he left to get the door.

What he saw was not what he expected. But then again, what did he expect. His mother? He wished. Annabeth? Nah, she can't be. His father? He couldn't even think of it. A monster?

He thought even deeply. Perhaps...

"Umm...?" Tony questioned the strange yet admittedly taller boy in front of him.

"Yes?" Percy darted his eyes away from the floor and to the man.

"Hi kid, I'm looking for Sally Jackson Blofis." He spoke as he let himself in. The kid stared.

"Kid. Does she live here or not?" He asked again.

Percy shook his head, snapping back to reality. "Uh yes, but she's not here right now."

"Then where is she?" He looked around, tapping his feet.

He seems anxious...The demigod assumed.

"She's in a meeting right now for her book."

The man nodded his head, accepting the answer.

"Then is it safe for me to assume that you're Perseus Jackson?" Tony raises his brows, crossing his arms. He now sat on a very comfortable couch, enjoying the homey feel the apartment was covered in.

"Percy but, yes," Perseus grumbled thinking about the several monsters and threats that called him that.

"Great!" The man suddenly stood up and stretched his arms out. "Well then, kid. You're lucky enough to know that I'm your uncle!" He continued to grin even with an awkwardly ignored handshake.

"I'm sorry, but you're what now?" Stark's nephew cautiously backed away in surprise.

He did not need another complicated family member added to his already messed up family tree.

But wait...Percy had to clear his mind. If he asked for his mother and not his father, he could very well be from the normal side of his heritage. That and the fact that he had little to no idea that he was the Perseus Jackson. He also didn't exactly give a strong and dangerous vibe. The demigod sighed in relief. From what he's seen, he seems more like a nonchalant and chill guy who's caring and has a sense of justice.

Except there was still one problem.

"Kid, you okay?" The uncle slowly approached him but still keeping his distance.

"Uhh, yeah...I'm guessing you're from my mom's side?" Percy regained his composure.

"Oh, you're right. I'm your mom's half brother. Problem is, she doesn't know. And, neither did you." Tony continued his tale and findings, explaining certain things to Percy.

After he has successfully finished in one breath, Percy nodded, taking in all the horrible events that had to happen for his mother and him to exist in this world.

Being unwanted children seems to run on both his family's sides.

Still, one question kept bugging him and he didn't have the patience to wait so he just asked.

"Okay, but who are you?"

That seemed rude. Percy leaned back at the realization.

It would appear that the subtle rudeness didn't even bother Tony Stark. Instead, he was immensely surprised at the fact that he didn't know the Tony Stark, the very face behind Robert Downey Jr- er, I mean...Robert Downey Jr, the face behind Iron Man, I mean Tony Stark, The face behind Iron Man.

It took him a while to regain his footing and actually be able to sanely look at the kid. "Tony Stark? Iron Man? Ring any bells?"

"Oh....." Percy scratched the back of his neck, suddenly finding the window behind his uncle interesting. "Right...you're a member of the Avengers who fought those aliens back in around 2012?"

"Yeah..."

"Huh. No wonder you seemed familiar...I could've sworn I've seen you on TV or somewhere like that...You guys were a bit of a hot topic back in camp..." Percy muttered silently, glad that this uncle is someone who's on the good side..more or less.

"Kay?"

"Ah, sorry. I was muttering to myself. Anyways, what's gonna happen now?"

"I'm glad you asked." Tony Stark beamed with happiness and stood taller than he did before. "You're in for a ride."

Hope you guys...enjoyed this? The dialogue is really awkward and sucky. Sorry about that. I'm not good with dialogue. Actually, I'm not really good at talking to people. I hope to improve... :(
