It was a half sunny and half cloudy morning, and Tony Stark and his wife, Pepper Potts Stark and their daughter, Morgan Stark, were our in the park for a little jog. At least, Tony and Pepper were jogging, Morgan was running as fast as her 10 year old legs could carry her.

"Don't go far Morgan!" Pepper called after her daughter.

"She'll be fine," Tony assured her.

Tony and Pepper were talking about a very curious thing that had happened. After the last battle in which Tony had died, Pepper and Morgan soon learnt to live normal lives. But after 2 years, when Morgan was 7, Tony had magically appeared out of nowhere. He had grown over the years. Even Cap, Nat and everyone they lost was back. But they couldn't find some people. Like Peter Parker, for example. It was kind of stressful for Tony, because he worried a lot about Peter. They tried searching everywhere, they couldn't find some of the people on their team. It was very confusing. But it'd been three years from then, and they too, hand learnt to live with it.

"I'm telling you Tony," Pepper said in a tired voice, "it's not normal."

"I never said it WAS!" Tony answered.

"Oh Tony-"

"You know what? I'm going to get something to eat. Take Morgan and sit in the park- I'll be back." Tony interrupted his wife, smiled and walked away before Pepper could protest.

Tony walked away randomly, trying to find a waffle stand or anything with food. They were in New York, at this point.

Tony was walking in front of a row of houses, when his eyes caught something across the street. It was a little kid, sitting in the curb, playing with a black dog. It was the sweetest thing Tony had seen in a while, so he decided to talk to the kid.

"Hey buddy," Tony said cheerfully as he reached the kid.

The kid just looked up and smiled. He was skinny, but kind of tall for his age. He looked about 5 or 6. He had VERY messy jet black hair that was literally going haywire. He had a cute, adorable face, and he was tan. But the one thing that struck Tony about the kid was his eyes. They were a mix of sea green and aqua blue. In other words, his eyes were the most beautiful color ever made.

"Why are you out here so early?" Tony asked, breaking the silence.

"Just like that." The kid replied.

Tony laughed, but he wasn't sure why, "what's your name?" He asked.

"Percy." Was the reply he got.

"Percy what?" Tony asked him.

"Percy Jackson."

"Is Percy short for something?"

Percy just looked at,Tony, as if he wanted i=him to shut up and mind his own business, "yeah," Percy said after a while.

"I don't think you want to tell me," Tony said, in an amused kind of way.

"I could," Percy said, "but only if you promise that you'll never call me that."

"I promise," Tony really liked this kid. Something about him... it felt right.

"It's Perseus," Percy said.

"That's a nice name," Tony told him, " but to be honest, I don't like when people call me by my real name."

Percy finally stopped playing with his dog and looked at Tony,

"Really? What's your name?" He asked.
