Percy's point of view

After I got to my room I opened the door and walked in. Holy Hera the room was huge it was probably the size of Mom and Paul's old apartment. There was my bag on the bed, but what was strange was that there was another bag there too when I walked over to it I saw a note attached to it. The note was in handwriting I would recognize anywhere, my Dad's.

 I read the note, it said, Percy, this is a gift from Tyson. Once you see it if you are wondering how he knew to add a flame pattern to it. We knew Hestia was going to ask you to be her champion, and since we know you we suspected that you would accept. This gift will probably be useful while you are with the Avengers.

Best of luck

Poseidon

After I finished reading the note I was curious about what Tyson had made. So I opened the bag, inside I found armor. It didn't feel too heavy or anything, Dad was probably right this would be useful. The helmet would conceal part of my face leaving me space to see out of. As the note had said the armor had both a flame pattern as well as a wave pattern to represent both the sea and the hearth. After I finished examining my new armor I set it aside and started putting some of my things into the dresser at the other end of the room.

After a while, Friday said, "The pizza has arrived Sir," 

I said, "Thank you Friday, and please call me Percy."  she said, "Of course Sir, I mean Percy." I chuckled and then left the room. Once I got to the kitchen I saw that the rest of the Avengers minus Thor were seated at the table. I sat down beside Clint and managed to grab four pieces even though the rest of the guys were eating it like they were starving wolves.

After we finished eating Clint walked over to the TV and took out a videogame I saw that it was Call of duty. Clint asked me if I wanted to give it a try. I shrugged and said, "sure,"

 he won the first round since I was getting used to the controls and the layout of the game, but when we played again Clint and the rest of the Avengers were shocked when I beat him. Still shocked he said, "How?"

 I simply said, "Previous experience and the fact that I am blessed by Athena the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."

 After Clint got over the fact that I had beaten him we were all sitting down, Bruce asked me hesitantly "when you beat Clint you said that one reason why you were able to beat him was due to previous experience. Do you mean previous experience with the game or is it something else?"

I answered, "No Bruce I had never played that game before, what | meant by previous experience was that I have faced many battles in my life so that's what I meant by previous experience. I will tell you more eventually but I'm not ready to talk about it yet." They nodded understanding and we mostly just talked about random unimportant stuff until Thor returned from Asgard.

When he arrived he spotted me. Bruce spoke, he said, "Thor, meet the newest member of the team..." 

Thor cut him off saying, "Perseus Jackson it is an honour to finally meet you! stories of your achievements are told on Asgard!" We were all rather shocked I mean I know that the Greeks and Romans think of me as a hero, but the Asgardians too?

Thor sounded super excited like someone who just got to meet a celebrity they idolize. No, actually he sounded crazier than that, he sounded like one of those people who obsess over celebrities. He kept asking questions like did I really defeat Ares when I was twelve or did really hold up the sky?" the Avengers that had some knowledge of Greek mythology looked stunned while the ones that didn't just looked confused. I said, "Thor I promise I will tell you my story, just not tonight okay?" Thor agreed.

The rest of that evening was uneventful but as usual, partway through the night, I had a nightmare. And it was of what happened down there when we were trying to fight the Aurai when Annabeth was wandering around blind and lost thinking I had abandoned her. That was one of the worst moments out of everything that had happened down there.

That might have been worse than her actual death because I was afraid that we would die down there with her still thinking that I had abandoned her. I don't blame Calypso for that curse, being trapped on an island for as long as she was with no one else except for occasional visits from the gods and men that could never stay would definitely wear on a person. If I blame anyone I blame the gods for not releasing her when I asked them to after the war with Kronos.

But if I ever told them it was her that caused that to happen to us I think that both Dad and Athena would probably want to chuck her back on her island, since Leo had rescued her and took her to camp. In the nightmare, I was calling out Annabeth's name, and unfortunately, I did it again as I was waking up. When I was awake and realized what I had done I sighed I figured I would have at least some of the others coming to my door to find out what was wrong.

My door was pushed open and I saw the whole team in my doorway. "Nightmare?" Steve asked.

 I simply said, "yes," 

 "Do you want to talk about it?" Bruce asked.

 I said, "No not tonight I'll be fine guys, go back to bed." 

They hesitated but left. I fell back to sleep and thankfully I didn't have any more dreams, I woke up early and it seemed I was the only one up. I decided to test out one of my new powers from Hestia and made plates of pancakes appear on the table.

I had started eating mine when Steve came into the kitchen and sat down. "You're up early," he noted.

 I just shrugged and said, "I could say the same for you," 

he said, "it's an old habit from the war." I just nodded in response, "Why are the pancakes blue?" Steve asked me. I hadn't realized that I had made all the pancakes blue, I had thought that it was just mine that was blue.

Slight sadness crossed my face when I thought of my mom, but I tried to hide it when I said, "It was something my mom always did. My first stepdad once said that there was no such thing as blue food, so she purposefully made as much of our food blue as she could."

 Steve said, "You didn't like him much did you?" Knowing he meant Gabe I said, "No I didn't." "Why?" Steve asked.

I said, "Think of a drunk who leaves his dirty clothes and empty beer cans everywhere, and showers far less than he should and then you will know what Gabe was like." 

 A look of disgust crossed Steve's face. "Did he abuse you?" he asked almost like he had guessed the answer but was hoping it wasn't true. I couldn't bring myself to tell him in words so I just gave an almost imperceptible nod. He frowned; it was at this point that the rest of the team wandered into the kitchen.

They got their coffee and like Steve, they asked why the pancakes were blue, I gave them the same explanation I gave Steve hoping my hate for Gabe wouldn't show on my face or in my voice. Once or twice the guys commented on how good the pancakes were, but other than that not too much was said until Tony asked "what exactly can you do kid? We know you have special powers and can use weapons but we don't really know what you can do. Will you show us?"

I shrugged and said, "sure I need to get in some training anyway." After that everyone went back to eating well everyone who hadn't already finished. After breakfast we were headed to the training room when I said "Clint can I talk to you for a second?"

 he shrugged and said, "Sure kid what do you want?"

 I said, "I wanted to ask you a favour, yesterday Apollo blessed me, but I have never been very good at archery, I wondered if you would help me with it? I'm warning you that by not very good at archery I mean terrible at it. Apollo's blessing may have helped that but we won't know until I try it again."

He seemed to think for a moment and then said "sure kid as long as you don't steal my glory."

 I snorted and said, "you don't need to worry about that Clint, even with Apollo's blessing and your help I don't suppose I will ever outdo you in archery, besides the sword will always be my primary weapon." 

Clint said, "Well, in that case, I'll help you out." 

I said, "Thanks Clint, oh and if you don't mind stop calling me kid, I'm seventeen and I have seen and done far more than any normal kid has."
