*Don't own anything* do i have to say that? i think so

"Seaweed Brain grab the plates please!" Annabeth asked her husband as she started to unpack the forks from the moving boxes.

"Ok got them!" Percy grabbed the box of plates and started to stack them in the cabinets.

The newlyweds just got married a few weeks ago, a simple wedding at Camp Half-Blood with all their friends, including the ones from Camp Jupiter. They were only 19 but after being through so much together, how could Annabeth say no when Percy proposed one night on the beach?

Athena helped them get a nice apartment in the heart of Manhattan, which would have been impossible for two normal teens to have.

"Alright I gotta head off for work, love you!" Percy shouted as he slipped on his shoes and ruffled his hair as he headed out the door.

"Love you!" Annabeth replied as she put the last fork into the drawer.


Percy headed to the Avengers tower which was only a short walk away, grateful for Athena's help. He decided to apply for a job here because it was so close and he heard of Tony from Leo back at camp. Annabeth was also interested in the tower's architecture so she was very supportive too.  Since Annabeth was always busy working on Olympus's new construction, he decided to get a job to keep him busy, and of course, some extra cash for them wouldn't hurt, seeing how his new job paid pretty well.

Percy entered the tower, greeting the receptionist who let him by with a bored wave. He headed towards the elevator in the back that led straight up to Tony's office. The music was terrible and it reminded him of the one in the Empire State Building. He shook out the thoughts as he pressed the button to Tony's office as he remembered he wouldn't be going there again soon. 

Hopefully, he added, hoping not to jinx it after the Gods agreed to try and leave the heroes alone and fend off some monsters for them.

The door slid open and Percy walked in.

He sighed when he saw the desk was empty, then headed back into the elevator to go down to the lab.

"TONYY???" He shouted.

"Quiet down Perce, you know I'm in here," Stark replied not even looking up from whatever he was tinkering with.

Looking down at his watch and clipboard, yes clipboard, because Percy was turning into a responsible adult, and because his ADHD didn't allow him to remember certain things for too long, he said, "Tony you gotta start getting ready, you have a meeting at 12 and they aren't gonna be happy if you're late to the meeting you canceled twice already."

Tony finally looked up and smirked, "well if I already did twice let's just add a lucky third ti --"

"NO!" Percy cut him off before he could finish his idea. "I'm getting you there before I have to deal with Fury again!" He said, wincing slightly as he remembered his last experience and how it could have compared to the REAL Furies. Those screechy grandmas were all too similar to that screaming eye-patch guy.

He picked up Tony from the collar and dragged him all the way up to his office, proceeding to dump him on the floor for him to get ready. He handed Tony his suit and tie as Tony started to grumble about how maybe getting a new teen assistant wasn't a good idea when Pepper walked in.

"Wow I'm still amazed at how effective you are", she said, almost wanting to clap at Tony's new assistant who somehow did what she thought she could only do.

"And I'm amazed that Tony actually listens to me too", Percy said as he clapped him on the back leading him towards the elevator.

All they heard from Tony was a grunt of dissatisfaction that a teenager was talking about him like that with his own girlfriend, not noticing that he was just proving them right.


They headed down and got in the car for Happy to drive them to SHIELD.

It was a quiet ride as Tony was finally starting to wake up and get his sarcasm back.
