A/N - I IS ALIVEEEEEEEEE I feel like Mushoo from Mulan, I'm awake and I've got a chapter ready for you guys, sorry for leaving you guys for so long.
Percy's Pov
That Peter kid seemed cool and all, he said he was an intern for Tony Stark. Maybe I should be his friend and try to get close to him, to get to Tony. That way I'd get to Nico quicker. Yep! That's a great plan, of course I don't actually know what to do... or how to get close to him... or if he'd even want to be friends... or how long this 'internship' was... BUT! It's still a great plan.
"Hey move it kid!" A big burly man, who's voice seemed deeper than Thor's shouted at me. I blushed and flipped my board to the road, then over a water-hydrant-thingy and back onto the sidewalk.
"SORRY! GOD BLESS AMERICA!" I yelled, some people cheered as other sneered in my general direction. I didn't give two schist's, my arm had a New York Burger tucked under it with wrapping of course and the other holding out my hair from my eyes. I laughed and skated my way down my street.
My breathing failed, my board hit a rock or something and I pathetically landed on the concrete. Hissing in pain I clutched my knee. Dam it! I grazed my knee, I looked back at my apartment and ran to the building. Flame dancing and consuming the building, two New York police men held me back as I tried to get to my mom. She wasn't working because of my siste- no... "My sisters in there! She's only two. My dad, he-he's taking a day off work, my MOM! MOM!" I pushed both men and ran into the building. I didn't get too far before a boy clad in red and blue spandex stopped me.
"Wait here, I'll get them out!" before I could reply to his words, he was already in the burning building. Both men grabbed my arms and pulled me back. I limply followed them, it seemed as though everyone had waited for that red and blue dude to come back. When he did; his side was burnt badly and he seemed to have gotten a limp. When no one came back with him, I rushed to his side.
"What- where?"
"I'm sorry, I-I'm so so sorry.." he looked like he was going to cry under the mask. I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
"It's fine, um... well thanks anyway."
"You-you're acting a little normal for something like this to happen-"
"You'd be surprised. You hurt?"
"Huh?" he looked down and winced, clutching his side. "Y-yeah, nothing a little Band-Aid won't fix." he chuckled lightly, "Anyway. I'm sorry about you know- I should probably go now-"
"Wait. At least let me..." how was I going to describe this, "here." I brought out my vial of water and dripped some on his wound, my hand was placed firmly on his hip. I slowly healed his wound and sighed; the water energising me along with him.
"Woah... you- you just-"
"It's nothing. You had to go right...?"
"oh, um... I'm Spider-man. Bye Percy!" he webbed the nearest building and swung away.
"Percy..." I whispered. He knew my name, so I knew him.

I looked at the little device in my hands. The only number I owned was the Camp's and Peter's. I already called the camp and Chiron was more than upset at what happened. That brought me the most comfort, but Peter. I needed a place to stay and I really needed to complete this mission. I sighed, if I didn't make this call then I'd have probably been fighting a monster by now. The phone had a slight buzzed vibration carrying around, I could almost feel the device texting the nearest monster my location.
It took me three times to perfect the numbers since Peter's messy hand-writing had no play in helping with my Dyslexia. After a couple of rings, Peter answered and he seemed more than happy to have me over. This was definitely going to be a temporary thing, I still needed to think about the reason I was here. Because of Nico.
"Hold on, Neeks. I'm coming."

"Are you sure it's not any inconvenience, Miss Parker?" I asked, as I pulled my duffel bags from her hands, "I really don't mean to intrude."
"Nonsense! I know what you've been through, I understand it Percy. And please, called me your Aunt May."
"T-thank you, Aunt-- May." I cringed, gods if I didn't have too many Aunt's to name already. Peter helped pull my one bag to his room which had a mattress planted on the ground. I was planning on staying a week but Peter didn't have to know that. I pulled most of my clothes out of my bag and flopped them on my bed. I might as well try to make this 'bed' a little bit like home.
"Um... so I'll be in the living room, you know where it is... any way you just... you know? Get settled in. Bye Percy." Peter ran out of the room away from the awkwardness that was our measly attempts to hold a stable conversation. I sighed and sat down, 'Bye Percy!' Spider-man said. 'Bye Percy.' Peter said.
I stood up and turned to the door. NO WAY! Peter, w-was Spider-man?? I looked back at the living room, Peter was having a conversation with his Aunt. I closed my eyes and breathed in hard. My hearing enhanced a little, He's helping her with dinner, so... I rubbed both my hands together and smirked in the most Draco Malfoy, Evilest way ever! My search didn't even last long as I looked at the Spider-man suit in the wardrobe at the very bottom. It looked like he just dumped the suit there with no real motivation to move it.
Dam, he really doesn't know how to keep a secret. "What are you- hey!" I jumped a meter away from the voice and realised it was in fact Peter. He looked at my petrified face and then at the wardrobe that I had been previously looking at.
"You alright?" he asked moving to close his wardrobe door.
"Yep! I wanted to ask you something though?"
"Okay, shoot." he slumped on my mattress of a bed.
"Well I need to go to Stark Enterprise tomorrow. I need to talk to Fury, he's like going to be there tomorrow. Don't even ask how I know. Anyway! I know your an intern so I was wondering on whether or not you wanted to come and tag along?"
"Sure."
