One Problem: Percy Jackson/Marvel Crossover

8: First Fight, Last Fight

A/N: Minor Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard spoilers!

Percy's POV

Ah, food.

Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Nico, Peter, and I all sat around a table in the cafeteria with our food. Today's special was grilled cheese sandwiches. They weren't up to match my mom's grilled blue cheese sandwich, but they were filling.

Piper looked uncomfortable in her badges, kinda like how Jason had looked while he had been stabbed on the Argo II. Ah, good memories.

She and Jason were holding hands though, so she was fine. I wished I could hold hands with Annabeth, but she was sitting across from me.

Peter had finished his food. He started to ask questions.

"So where're you're from?" he asked.

"Annabeth and I are from right here in Manhattan. Piper's from California, and Jason's from around San Fransisco, Leo's from Houston, and Nico's from somewhere in Italy," I replied, pointing to each person as I said their name.

"Where in Italy?" Peter asked Nico.

Nico shrugged. "It's too far back for me to remember. My mother died when I was young, then my sister and I were taken to America."

"You have a sister?" Peter said. "You never mentioned her."

"She's dead," Nico said bitterly. The topic of Bianca still caused cold air between us.

"Oh," said Peter in a small voice. "I'm so sorry."

"It's fine," Nico snapped a little too harshly. Peter practically deflated.

He turned his attention to the rest of us. "So how'd you all end up in New York?"

"Well, funny story, really," I glanced at my friends. "I met Annabeth at a summer camp on Long Island. Then Nico arrived there."

Jason nodded, catching on. "Piper, Leo, and I got to the camp when me and Percy's crazy Aunt June kidnapped us and made Percy go to another camp that works closely with the one here. I was taken to the camp here with Leo and Piper while Percy went to the other."

"I was the only one traveling between the two camps at that point," Nico added. "Percy made friends with Frank and Hazel, who's another sister, and then had to go on a emergency trip to Alaska before being reunited with Annabeth."

"Then we all went on a tour around the Mare - Mediterranean together, including Frank and Hazel. Nico joined us in Rome," Annabeth continued.

"Where was Nico before?" Peter asked.

"I was on a quick trip through Italy. You know, checking out family history and such. I joined them in Rome before they got to Greece," Nico supplied, even though where he was wasn't even close to Italy.

Peter seemed satisfied with the answer. "Cool. Sounds like you're super tight."

"We are," I confirmed.

"I can't believe you all just met at a summer camp. I made zero friends when I went to summer camp," Peter shook his head in disbelief.

"Yeah, well, it's a one-of-a-kind experience," Jason said with a smirk.

"Bro, that's an understatement," I wiped my face with a napkin.

"Oh, please," Annabeth got up and collected dishes. "Help me with this, Seaweed Brain."

Peter raised an eyebrow at the mention of my nickname, but didn't say anything. We got our plates and left them in the dishwasher.
