Chapter Text
Tony
Tony knew Clint was in the vents. Clint always thought that he didn't, but he didn't have a multi-million dollar AI installed in his tower to not know that his teammate was crawling around in there. He knew exactly where Clint was, which was why he was strategically locking all of the vents around him so that he couldn't get out. Clint would be stuck in there until he found a way to get past the metal grates that are the entrances to the vents.
"Serves him right for trying to prank us again," muttered Tony as he watched Clint try to get out through his camera system.
Tony really didn't know why Clint was up there now of all times. Fury had called the entire team for a meeting and personally, Tony really didn't want to get on his bad side. Who knew a one eyed stare could be so menacing. Anyway, Steve, Bruce, Natasha, Thor and him were sitting in the briefing room waiting, and Clint was stuck above them, so they were technically all there. No reason for scary pirate Fury to get mad. Or so Tony hoped.
Just as he was thinking this, Fury stalked into the room, with his whole badass trench coat and eyepatch look going full swing.
"Where's Clint?" he asked.
Noiselessly, Tony pointed up. Fury cast a glance at Natasha, who stood up with a smirk. She quietly got out a gun and shot five or six times at the ceiling around Clint. A muffled scream sounded from above. Tony unlocked the vents and the team watched as Clint climbed out of the grate.
"What the fuck guys!?" Clint shouted, "you could have hit me!"
"Natasha was the one shooting," said Steve, finally looking up from his book, "there's no way she would have missed her shots."
Clint sat down, grumbling to himself, between to a quietly shaken Bruce Banner and a still smirking Natasha.
"Ok, now that we're all here," said Fury, "I have an announcement."
Everyone looked at him silently. Thor swung his lazily swung his hammer.
"We have a new set of allies."
Fury pressed a button and a series of pictures came up on the screens around them. They were of a set of kids aged between 13 and 19 years old. There seemed to be some different groups in the photos. There was a big group of teenagers in orange shirts standing together, a larger group of people in purple shirts and what Tony thought was Roman armour, which was weird. There was also a group of girls in silver, some of whom were holding bows and arrows, and some other girls with a woman in front of them wearing a thick gold belt. Tony thought he could see a guy with a metal collar in the background.
There were also single shots, of a green eyed, messy black haired boy; of a blond, curly haired girl with piercing grey eyes; a girl with choppy hair and kaleidoscope eyes who was pictured with a guy with neat blond hair, electric blue eyes and glasses; and many more.
"Who are these?" asked Bruce, "are we teaming up with them? They're kids... why are we so interested in them?"
Tony nodded. "He's right. We're Earth's mightiest heroes. Why do we need them?"
Fury seemed to be choosing his next words. "You're right," he said, "they are just kids. But they are very special. Some of these teenagers are more powerful than the whole team on their own. I think Thor knows them as well."
Thor did seem to be quite excited. "That's Percy Jackson! And Annabeth Chase! Those are the Heroes of Olympus!!" He bounced around in his seat. "Are we meeting them?"
"I'm sorry, but who are these? Why is Thor fangirling over them and how could they beat us? We're us!" Tony exclaimed.
Fury sighed. "Well I don't know everything, but here's some information."
He handed out files to the group. Natasha and Clint picked one up and started reading.
"Wait..." Clint said slowly, as he read, "Demigods?? These kids are Asgardian?"
"No, not Asgardian demigods, they're Greek," said Steve as he read through a file marked Camp Half-Blood.
"There are Greek Gods?! What?!! And these are their children?!" shouted Tony, "And Thor knew about them and didn't tell us? And do they have powers? And how do we not know about them? And how does Fury know about them? And -"
"Stop!" yelled Bruce, looking slightly green around the gills. "Repeat but slower. I want answers as well."
Fury groaned. "I only know whats in those files. Thor can answer all of your questions. As for why I know, I just got told by the gods themselves. They want us to team up with the demigods for something."
Natasha nodded. "Thor, who's Percy Jackson?" she asked.
Thor smiled. "He's the only son of Poseidon. He's the most powerful out of all the demigods and he's been the child of the prophecy twice. He has these cool powers and he's been to Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter and Rome and Tartarus... Anyway, he's the biggest hero of them all. Thats him." He pointed to the black haired guy on the screen.
Everyone looked confused.
"I think we need the whole story Thor," said Clint. Steve nodded, looking confused.
"Ok, so when Percy was 12, he got attacked by a fury, which is a minion of Hades and...
*spongebob thing* 1 hour later
...so Gaea was defeated and Leo came back with Calypso but she broke up with him and is doing college in New Rome, and everyone else is just living their lives."
"Wow." said Tony, "That is so cool."
"Cool???!! That kid went to hell and back! Those are children! That's barbaric, they shouldn't have to go through all that!" shouted Steve.
"I agree," said Bruce. Clint nodded.
"Yeah I know, but the powers are soooo cool" said Thor. Tony nodded vigorously.
"So," Fury said, "we're going to meet them tomorrow for a tour of CHB and then they'll be taking a tour of Avengers Tower. None of you can tell anyone about who they really are. They need to stay secret. Be ready at 10am and read up on those files today."
He swished out of the room.
"Ok, let's get ready for the greatest team up of history!!!" exclaimed Tony. He grabbed some of the files and ran to the elevator. Thor followed. The other Avengers sat reading as the two fanboys gushed about the demigods and their powers until they got into the elevator.
"Well this'll be fun." said Steve.
