Percy POV

------------------------------------------

We finally finished all of the wars, or at least I think we did.

I was free to be a teenager, even though I only have three more years of being one.

I walked into my cabin and jumped as I see an Iris Message waiting there for me. 

It had a strawberry-haired girl and a strawberry-haired boy,

“Hi!” The girl chirped.

“Hello,” The boy said.

“I am Alex and this is Connor!” The girl said, smiling as brightly as the sun.

“You guys from the Apollo cabin or something?” 

“Apollo cabin?” Connor said.

“Ok...So not from the Apollo cabin,” I said, getting kinda confused.

“We are from the Land Of Stories!” Alex sang. 

Connor eyed her, “You good, Alex?”

“Just a little bit tired!” She sang.

Connor sighed, “How many spells have you been casting?” 

Alex giggled, “Everyone needed help today, and help I gave!” 

Connor looked at her with a disapproving stare, “So...a lot of spells.”

“Yup!” She said bouncing on her toes.

“And you agreed to try a new type of spell when you were already like this!”  Connor said, sighing.

“Yup!” She said, twirling in the air.

I was just sitting there staring.

“Ummm...So Land of Stories huh?” I asked.

“Look what you did Alex! You let a normal person know about the Land Of Stories!” Connor said angrily.

“Hey look, lay off of your sister? Girlfriend? Friend?” I said.

“I don’t know you guys but I am not a normal person!” I said offended.

“I have saved the world twice!” I ranted.

“My dad is the God of the Sea!” I said.

“Oh…” Connor said.

“So you are a Merman!” Alex giggled.

My mouth dropped open, “No! I am a demigod! One of the Seven, Hero and Savior of Olympus.” 

“So...Not a Merman?” Alex said looking disappointed.

“Not. A. Merman,” I said sternly.

“Ok!” She said twirling again.

I looked at Connor, “Do you remember the spell she cast to open the Iris Message?” 

“Yes,” He said.

“Ok, so get your…” I looked at him.

“Sister,” He answered my silent question.

“Ok, get your sister and make her go to sleep,” I ordered.

He nodded and did as I told him.

“Ok now, remember the spell, and if you need an army of demigods, then call me. Got it?”

“Got it.” He said. 

“Oh, and what’s your name?” Connor asked.

“Percy, Percy Jackson,” I replied.

I ended the call and smiled, this will be interesting.

Percy POV

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I opened my phone and clicked Kora’s contact, whenever she and her friend went on her ‘Girl trip’, we met. I enjoyed talking to her because she would give me ideas about controlling water, or like she calls it ‘water bending’.

I clicked the call button and said,

“Hey, Korra!” 

“Hey, Perce!”  she answered.

“Are you getting good at that water trick I showed you?” I asked.

The last time we talked, I showed her a trick to make perfect ice sculptures. It was a nice party trick and I loved making Annabeth sculptures, and some of my friends. She wanted a present for the friend she went on the ‘girl trip’ on. What was her name? Oh right, Asami!

“Yeah, I have been getting better!” Korra said, excited.

“How is Asami?” I asked. 

“She is doing great! How is Annabeth?”

“She is doing great as well,” I answered.

I heard an explosion on the other side of the phone,

“Oh, I have to go! Bye!” Korra shouted.

“Bye Korra!” I smiled and ended the call.

I enjoy talking to Korra, even though she was busy most of the time.

I walk into my classroom and stare at the whiteboard for several moments. I was trying to read what was on there. The teacher saw me trying and told me,

“It says Field Trip tomorrow.” 

I thank her and go sit in my seat. People began to filter into the room, chatting as they sat down as well.

The teacher goes through the lesson and about five moments before the bell, she begun to talk about the field trip. 

“We will be going to Avengers Tower.” 

The room erupted with cheers.

“Quiet down, Quiet down!” The teacher said.

“The Avengers will have a Q&A at the end of the tour,” She said, trying to keep a straight face but failing to keep in the excitement.

The room began to cheer again.

The bell rang and I walked out of my last class of the day.

_______________________________________________________________

At his apartment

-------------------------

“Mom, can you sign this form?” I ask my mom.

She smiles and nods.

She then signs the form after she read it.

I was pretty excited about going when I realized, what if a monster attacked!

My life could be ruined if I have to fight a monster, in front of the Avengers!

I force a smile onto my face and say,

“I will be fine.”

______________________________________

At Avengers Tower

____________________________________

I walk into the tower and almost faint when I see all of the technology. It was a prime zone for monsters to find me! I was so dead.

“I will be fine,” I mumble under my breath.

We go through the tour and when I see the labs, I stare.

Leo would love to work here! 

---------------------------------------

Three hours later

------------------------------

It was time for the Q&A, this is where things could get messy. 

 My phone rings and I see that it is Hazel, I go to answer the call.

“The Mist is down!” Hazel basically yelled into my ear.

My eyes widened, I have to get out of here!

I hang up the call and get ready to run to the camp when a hand gets placed onto my shoulder.

I jump and turn around ready to fight, I saw that it was my teacher and relaxed.

“Sorry,” I said.

She chuckles and says, “Don’t worry, I get your nervous.” 

I wasn’t nervous...I was terrified.

“Come on,” She guided me back into the room full of people that could ruin my life.

I gulp when I see all of the technology. This was not going to end well.

After a few questions, I began to relax a little. 

“It is going to be fine,” I whispered under my breath.

I hear an explosion. 

“Oh come on!” I shouted. 

There was a two percent chance it wasn’t a monster. I get out Riptide and snatch a bottle of water out of someone’s hand.

I see the Minotaur. The Avengers had suited up and looked ready to fight.

“What is that thing!” Hawkeye shouted.

I walk up to the stage through all of the people running.

“Hey, Meat-Head!” I shouted.

“Haven’t I killed you already?” I asked mocking him.

He roared and charged at me, Captain America pushed me out of the way. 

I groaned, “I have this!” 

“Protect the civilians!”

They shook their head in unison, it was kinda creepy. Oh well.

I uncapped my pen and it turned into Riptide.

“WOW, kid! Put down the sword!” Iron Man shouted.

“Stay out of this!” I yelled back.

I looked at the Minotaur and made a mocking face.

“It must stink to lose twice to me!” I yelled at him.

“YOU WILL NOT WIN AGAIN!” The Minotaur yelled and charged at me once more.

I rolled my eyes and jumped out of the way, he managed to cut some of my side. I hopped onto his back and cut off his head.

The Avengers stared at me.

“What-” The Falcon said.

“Any chance we can forget this happened?” I said, holding onto my side.

“No,” They all said.

I sighed and said, 

“That’s what I thought…” 

I walked over to my bag and ate some of the Ambrosia, letting the taste of my mom’s blue cookies wash over me like a hug.

“Ok,” I said, sitting down. 

“Questions?” I asked.

They asked me a ton of questions and I answered them all quickly.

“So let me get this straight, you are the demigod child of Poseidon, the god of the sea.” 

Iron Man said.

I nodded and he continued, 

“You saved the world twice.”

I nodded again.

“And these monsters hunt you.” he finished.

“That is kinda sad,” Hawkeye said. 

I shrugged, “Now I have to go find out who took down the Mist!” 

“Bye!” I said and walked out.

Chapter Text

I opened my phone and looked at Carmen’s contact. We had met about six weeks ago, I had helped her get an Ancient Greek artifact and showed her some places for information. She told me that if I ever needed any help with finding something that was stolen to call her.

Something was stolen alright, Hermes had given a golden crown to a local museum that he liked and it went out of business yesterday. All of the items were sold, including the crown. Hermes had made the museum owners promise to hold onto the crown until he came back for it, he is NOT happy right now.

I opened the messages app.

Percy
------------
Carmen, I need your help

Carmen
----------
Percy?

Percy
--------
Correct.
I need your help finding golden crown with a Caduceus on it
Can you help?

Carmen
-----------
Sure, Call me

I hit the call button and she answered quickly.

“Why do you want this crown?” She asked.

“A friend of mine told the museum who sold it to hold onto it for a little while.They had no right to sell that crown, seeing as it was only there because of my friend liking the museum.”

“So? Why are you concerned?” She asked.

I couldn’t tell her that Hermes was throwing a hissy fit and nothing was able to be delivered...Can I?

“He is not happy, that crown was in his family for centuries.” I answered.

“I can find it, just give me a couple weeks.” She said.

“I need it faster then that.” I said, bouncing on my toes.

“Why? Does the fate of the world depend on it?” She asked in a sassy tone.

“Yes,” I answered truthfully, Hermes may very well destroy the world for this crown. He was VERY attached.

“Give me a few days,” She said.

“Get it to me as fast as possible, Bye Carmen.”

“Bye Percy,” She said.

I ended the call.

All I could do now is hope that she will get it to me before Hermes’s temper breaks.
