The whole day Percy couldn't concentrate on anything. The avengers noticed this too. They felt bad for the kid. Trouble seemed to follow him everywhere. He was distracted and distraught. He didn't realise that while serving cereal for the avengers he poured a carton of milk directly into the cereal box. Nobody pointed that out though. When he realised what a mess he had made he apologized profusely and left dining room so he doesn't embarrass himself any more than he already had. He went directly to the pool and spent a good hour or two underwater. Thinking. Finally he reached a conclusion. He would have to tell this new piece of information to Chiron and his friends. He didn't want to, but he knew that he needed Chiron's guidance and his friends would not stop poking him until he told them the truth.

He got out of the pool and decided to have a bath before meeting avengers and telling them about his suspicions. 

The bathroom was extra. That was the only word he could think of. Extra. He couldn't see the showerhead but he sensed water in small tubes above the wall. A jacuzzi was in one corner with lightings and imported bathroom necessities. He simply walked under the part of ceiling that seemed to have in-built showerhead. He took a good long shower and water calmed him enough to face the team and go through their looks of pity and sympathy which he was sure he would be recieving once he told them about it.

The avengers knew something was up with Percy it was just that he didn't want to share it, and Steve understood it completely. After all, they were hiding information about the attacks from him too. If he wants to tell them he would. As they settled for lunch Bruce called F.R.I.D.A.Y; "any updates on the mission A 253?" It was the file for the mission assigned to Clint and Natasha. The A.I was supposed to add any intel they pass from their mission in the file.

"Sir, there is a video file named Peter's report"  the A.I  responded, and after a short pause, it continued, "just now a new file is saved under the same folder named your mom's awesome. The location of the video traces to Upper East side of Manhattan." By the time it finished speaking Percy came into the dining room in fresh clothes and wet hair, probably from a bath but he smelled like beaches. May be the Poseidon thing, Steve wondered. He was brought out of his thoughts when Tony ordered F.R.I.D.A.Y to play the video on the flat screen TV at the nearest wall.

It showed Clint up close so that his face covered most of the screen. Natasha stood at the back, with one arm across her chest and another to facepalm herself. They looked to be in an apartment. Sally Jackson's apartment, to be precise. Clint was sporting a tooth grin while Natasha appeared to be controlling herself from straggling him to death, more from annoyance than anger.

"Percy, man, your mum cooks da best, is she the goddess of food? Anyway, to update ya'll. We made a pit stop at Percy's to load up some demigodly stuff and Sally offered us her seven layer dip with nachos and blue cookies and man were they good.... Thank me peasants I asked her if she could pack some for you people" he smirked pointing at the camera as if he had done the word a favour. Natasha took over then, " to sum it over, Percy as you said we already had a monster attack so these daggers will be helpful." She pointed to about a dozen of daggers lying mindlessly on the couch. "Now we'll be off to our assignment and as this doofus said" she continued whacking Clint upside the head to which he replied with an Oww.  "Sally is going to make more for you guys and trust me when I say, it's heavenly."

The message cut off there and Tony noticed Percy smile. The mom-son duo was as obsessed with blue food as Tony-Morgan duo was for cheeseburgers.

Everyone got seated in places and began to eat. For some time, the only sound was of forks scraping the plates and the cultery clanking. Finally clearing his throat, Percy began to speak, "Bruce I came up with a theory." Although he was addressing Bruce, he knew that others were listening to him and nodding their heads as well. "So, this has happened before too. We demigods don't get normal dreams. We get visions: past, present or future. They're real. Sometimes we're so lost in the vision that we need someone to shake us out of our dreams." He looked over at the people surrounding the table. They weren't saying anything but their expressions were prodding him to go on. So he continued, "we usually approach the Hypnos cabin, their father is the god of sleep they try to invade the said person's vision while sleeping themselves."

Bruce was the first one to question, "you tried this in your camp?"

"No. But the Hypnos cabin can sense if anyone is watching a vision so they must be blocked by the force which is trapping Annabeth into visions since nobody had a dam clue as to what was wrong in the camp."

Just then a voice from the shadows called out, "I want a dam shirt man!" Out stepped Thalia in all her hunter of Artemis glory with a sulking Nico Di Angelo.

"How can you pop up anytime there is a damn reference. No pun intended." Percy grinned.

"Oh I know you intend that fish face, and as for how I popped up you can ask this blob of sunshine" she pointed to Nico.

Percy laughed at that. Avengers just glanced at each other puzzled at the teens who breeched their security and were laughing with Percy.

Tony decided to introduce himself. "Hey folks, you might know me already but I'll introduce myself again. Hello I'm Tony Stark or as people like to name me, Iron man." He puffed out his chest at which the teens burst out laughing, "dam I need water" she muttered.

Percy decided to save Tony from the humiliation. "Thalia, Nico these are the avengers. Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Bruce Banner aka Hulk" he stated pointing at each person after calling their name. "There are more but they're not here at the moment. Anyways, avengers these are my cousins, Thalia daughter of Zeus and now an eternal maiden, hunter of Artemis. Nico Di Angelo son of Hades. You probably met Nico back at my place when you came."

The three smiled in agreement. "Now, if you would please step aside. I'll be going back I have to arrange for a date else Will will kill me." "No pun intended" Nico added as an after measure. Without waiting for an answer he dissolved back into the shadows.

"Well, he stayed longer than I thought." Thalia mused, trying to start a conversation. "What brings you here Thalia?" Percy enquired.

"I was still on my quest to find herbs and heard from some dryads that they saw some mortals coming out of your home so I went to your place and Sally told me about everything. I went to camp, plucked Nico out and asked him to take me where you were and we got here and heard your theory." Percy sighed and fell back on his chair.

"You know bolt face, after these many years one would think that they fulfilled their part in this world but not me. The fates must be using barbed wir-" he stopped mid-rant to see a certain fuming son of Hades with a grinning son of Hephaestus. Without a single word Nico was gone and Percy focused his sight at the scrawny guy.

"You're Leo right?" Steve asked. Was it possible for his grin to stretch that much?

"Yup" he replied. Popping the 'p', "Leo super sized McShizzle flamin' Valdez" he bowed down all the while grinning.

Percy updated him about the situation and introduced him to the avengers. They had already seen him in one of the pictures Nick Fury had of the demigods. Tony and Leo had clicked instantly and begun walking towards Tony's lab to work on the same secret project Tony had been working on.

"You should stay today. Seeing that Annabeth is a sister to you, you might want to know about her visions when our expert arrives in the evening." Bruce offered which Thalia gladly agreed to.

Soon it was evening, Bruce had informed that their expert  would be here any minute. Percy had been anxiously pacing the living room since the past hour. He tried to busy himself as to stop thinking of the visions that his wise girl might be seeing. Others' attempts to soothe him fell on deaf ears.

In about a minute or so, a woman entered the living room. She looked to be in her 20s with middle parted auburn hair , black jeans with a simple red flannel shirt. She smiled at everyone until her eyes fell upon Thalia whose jaw was on the floor.

With hesitation in her face Thalia stepped forward and called, "Wand?"

Cliffhanger...
