Hey guys!

So, some of you obviously don't read these, because people asked me why Percy's sword didn't appear in his pocket again. The sword he was looking for is the one he got from Hephaestus, and it doesn't return to him like Riptide

And I don't only update on holidays, I just don't have a lot of free time and I procrastinate.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy ;D


Tony's POV

"Well, I didn't see that coming," Clint said, staring off the edge of the Helicarrier.

Jackson must've been crazy; what was he thinking, jumping into the middle of the ocean? Tony leaned over of the side to watch for Percy's head breaking the surface. The water was still too rough for swimming, no matter how good you were, and Tony seriously thought that the kid had drowned when he saw that Percy hadn't come back up yet.

"Uh Fury? Aren't we going to do anything?" Natasha demanded.

Tony nodded in agreement. He may not have liked the kid much, but he didn't want him to drown.

"I don't think that will be necessary, friends," Thor interrupted, looking thoughtfully out to the ocean. "He can control water, can he not?"

"Well yes, but don't we have to get him back?"

For the first time that Tony knew off, Fury actually looked kind of conflicted. "No, we said he was allowed to go."

Banner frowned. "Only if we told us what he was, which he didn't."

For god's sake, Tony thought. Did they want the guy gone or not? He thought they'd established that Percy was too dangerous to be left on the Helicarrier (which they were right about, apparently the kid's uncle had tried to blast them out of the sky).

Personally, Tony didn't trust the mysterious teen, but Cap and Thor obviously did and were adamant that he wouldn't cause any harm if they let him go.

Stark continued to watch the water, but there was still no sign of Percy at all. He had a very strong urge to jump in after the kid, but seeing how large the waves were he had no doubt that he'd be struggling too much himself to be of any help to Percy, if he even really needed it.

"So we're not going to help him? He'll drown!" Tony exclaimed.

Thor had said that Percy would probably be fine, but how could they know? What if he wasn't and they just let him go? Tony wouldn't be able to live with himself if they didn't even try.

Fury considered the Avengers team. "Ok then, Tony, you can go out with your suit and try to find him if you can. If you do, unless he's in danger, do not engage."


Percy's POV

As soon as he hit the waves, Percy used the currents to shoot through the water. He swam towards the bottom, hoping that he would at least come across some animals who could send a message to his father.

Unfortunately, the storm seemed to have scared away most of the sea creatures, and Percy found himself all alone in the middle of the ocean. He shot back up towards the surface, knowing he was too far away to be seen by the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.

No doubt Fury would come after him to continue his interrogation, but there was no way that Percy was going to let himself get caught again. Distantly, he heard the sound of Stark's Iron Man suit taking off and he ducked back under the surface. Hopefully, they wouldn't find him and would just assume that he'd drowned in the harsh waters, or been attacked by some giant deep-sea predator.

Through the water, he saw the lights from the Iron Man suit in the night sky as Tony scanned the area. Unless Tony was using special sensors, he probably wouldn't see Percy.

To be honest, Percy was surprised that the Avengers hadn't seen his escape attempt coming. They'd just let him walk onto an open platform. For a bunch of genius', they hadn't made a very good decision, even if it was a very dire situation.

Iron Man zoomed past, straight by Percy. Having remained unnoticed, Percy sped through the water, heading back in the direction of the coast of the United States. He debated on going back to Camp Half-Blood, at least for a little while, but he didn't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to find Half-Blood Hill.

Percy walked out of the ocean, casually walking across the sand of the deserted beach, letting the water fall from his clothes. The sky was starting to grow lighter as dawn approached.

He needed to find a drachma so he could message Annabeth. He kept them at his apartment, but S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely go looking for him there. Percy lifted the hood of his cloak over his black hair, before letting out a loud whistle.

He cursed himself for not thinking of calling Blackjack sooner.

Minutes later, a darker silhouette appeared above him, growing larger and larger until it formed the shape of a horse with two huge wings sprouting from its back. The pitch black stallion landed gracefully and approached Percy with a whinny.

Hey boss, long time no see! Blackjack said. Where ya been?

"Sorry, Blackjack, got a bit caught up." Percy greeted with a smile, scratching the pegasus' velvety nose.

Blackjack dismissed the apology, allowing Percy to swing up onto his back. Stretching out his great black wings, the horse pawed the ground and took off, lifting higher with each powerful stroke of his wings.

Percy grinned when he looked back out to sea. There were no S.H.I.E.L.D. agents or Avengers in sight.


Thor's POV

Thor was confused. The events on the helicarrier didn't make sense. At first he had thought that Percy's uncle may have shared similar abilities to the boy, but for that to work than he would've had to be somewhere nearby, and they were hovering over the ocean.

The name 'Perseus Jackson' was often mentioned among Asgard, describing the boy to be a great hero of Midgard. Odin had said that there was a connection between Asgard and Perseus, though he couldn't share it for the sake of their two people.

And Percy had said the same thing; 'My world and Thor's can't mix." But why not? What disastrous event could unfold because of their meeting?

Thor grudgingly followed his team, minus Tony, back inside the floating helicarrier. There were already engineers trying to get their engines started again, but the storm had caused a lot of damage to the airship's systems, the only thing keeping from the flooding and sinking were the layers of ice that Perseus had made to seal out the water.

Already the struggling ship systems were starting to generate enough heat that the ice was beginning to melt. If the Helicarrier wasn't able to take off soon, they would be in big trouble.

Thor followed his friends through the halls, feeling useless. Fury had called him down to Midgard in the hopes that he would know what Perseus was, but Thor was just as clueless as they were.

Thor had been able to feel an aura of power around Perseus, one that he usually only saw in Asgardians like himself. That alone was enough to tell Thor that the teenager wasn't completely human.

He was interrupted from him thoughts when they arrived on the bridge, to find a computer screen signalling a threat.

Fury rushed over, looking over the security footage. Looking over the director's shoulders, Thor saw a huge black creature rampaging through the streets of New York.

"What the heck is that?" Clint exclaimed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Avengers arrived in New York minutes later. Tony had been called back, returning empty-handed, though Thor didn't even consider that Perseus might be deceased.

Mjolnir in hand, Thor looked around him for the black beast. The signs of its presence were obvious; shop-fronts destroyed, cars crushed, poles knocked over, civilians screaming and running for shelter.

However, the beast itself wasn't anywhere in sight.

Natasha and Steve, who were also searching with him, shook their heads to indicate that they hadn't seen it either. How does a monster just disappear?

Thor spun his hammer and shot into the air, looking to gain an aerial advantage. The high-rises of Manhattan still made it difficult, but now he could see the larger scale of destruction.

Suddenly, he saw three teenagers running in the opposite direction to the rest of the crowd. Whilst everyone else was running away, they appeared to be running towards it.

Thor pointed them out for Steve and Natasha, and flew off after them, hoping to ask them if they knew where the monster was. He stopped short, however, when he saw that the three teens were armed themselves.

One of them, a girl with blonde hair swept back into a ponytail and calculating grey eyes, had a shield strapped to her arm and a bronze knife in her hand. The dagger, he noticed, bore a striking resemblance to the metal that Percy's sword was partially made of.

Another girl, with short black hair and electric blue eyes, had a silver bow and quiver on her back, and a younger boy with dark hair and eyes was armed with a strange black sword.

They immediately brandished their weapons when they saw Thor land in front of them. The black-haired girl's eyes flashed with contempt, for whatever reason, she obviously didn't like him.

"Easy friends, I just wanted to ask if you knew of the monster's whereabouts."

The other girl frowned. "We can take care of it, the Avengers don't need to be here."

At her words, the boy's eyes widened as he realized who was standing in front of him. To Thor's surprise, the kid narrowed his eyes and spun his sword.

Thor had been getting a funny feeling, similar to the one he had gotten around Perseus Jackson. Were these kids like him? But Percy had said that he was alone. Thor regarded the three teens nervously.

"If S.H.I.E.L.D. received a video about it, then it is the Avengers' problem. Now, do you know where it went?"

"It doesn't matter if you know where it went, your weapons won't do anything to it." The black-haired girl replied sharply.

Thor seriously doubted that Mjolnir wouldn't kill the beast. His hammer had felled monsters and frost giants. Raising an eyebrow at the teen, he hefted his weapon. "I doubt that."

The girl rolled her eyes. "Whatever, just stay out of it."

With that, the three teenagers moved past him, before breaking into a run and turning a corner.

"Did they tell you where it was?" Steve asked, looking after the teens.

Thor frowned. "No, they didn't. But there was definitely something about them."


Um...

I'm so sorry, I'm really not happy with this chapter. It took ages, it's short, nothing happened.

I've hit a stump with almost all of my stories, and I keep coming to a point where I know where I want my stories to go, but I have absolutely no idea how to get them there.

So yeah, next chapter will be better I promise, I'll work really hard, at least this chapter kinda opened up some possibilities for the next.

Please R&R, I would really appreciate some advice ;D
