Training

Getting knocked on his back for the 3rd time today Percy was begging to get frustrated. He had gotten alot stronger in the past 11 months but still not enough to take on Sif. He had broke through to foundation establishment level 3 and got really proficient in the art that Sif had given him. The him of today would be able to destroy easily the him of 1 year ago, but even still Sif was always one step ahead of him. Thanks to the training the 2 had gotten rather close, but Percy did not see it going any where. While Percy did find Sif beautiful, he did not think she would ever see him in that way due to his Midgardian back ground. He had hope however since Thor was still seeing Jane. Wrapping the training up for the day Percy received some great new, his sword had arrive.

"Here you go Percy, my father called in a favor from the dwarves and got them to forge this for you. The smith said he would let you name it for yourself" Thor says handing Percy his new blade. "Thanks Thor, I've already decided on a name for it, it shall be called " "That is a fine name friend. And as you had asked me to do I have been keeping track of time for you back on earth. It is now half way through the month of April." "Thank you for keeping track of that for me you have been a big help. Since I will be leaving Asgard tomorrow how about you gather everyone and we throw a going away party?" "That sounds like a glorious idea" Thor replies flying off to gather everyone and the supplies needed for the party. Nightfall arriving faster the usual the party began. The usual festivities, Percy and the warriors 3 getting into arm wrestling matches, as well as Thor and Sif having a drinking contest the party was a blast. Stepping outside to get some air Percy finds Sif on the balcony staring off into the night. "So what's on your mind Sif?" "Just trying to take my mind off things." "Is it Thor and Jane?" Percy asks watching Sif choke on her drink "Your not the best at hiding your feelings" "neither are you Percy" Sif retorts making Percy choke on his drink "When did you find out?" "A week or 2 ago. I had my assumptions about half way through the training that you may have been catching feelings, but I was not sure. However Percy I am afraid I am going to have to let you down. My heart is set on that knuckle head Thor should he ever one day realize my feelings I hope that it just will not be too late by that point." "As heartbreaking as it is having my first crush reject me, I am glad you were straight forward about it and did not beat around the bush about it" Percy says as he walks back into the party to drink the pain of rejection away.

The next morning Percy wakes up with the worst headache of his two lives. So much so that even with his energy circulating it is not putting much of a dent into clearing it up. After cultivating for a hour the headache finally went away and Percy felt refreshed. Walking out of his room into the war zone that was last nights party, Percy slips out without telling anyone good bye so as to not risk any saddened goodbyes. Arriving at the bifrost gates Heimdall is there ready to send him home. Happy to see his parents Percy feels the dizzying sensation of the bridge and he reappears in his back yard. "Mom, Dad I'm home he says as he opens the back door stepping into the kitchen. However instead of the usual sight of just his parents having breakfast there is someone Percy is excited to see. "Percy I'm so happy to see you, did the training go well?" "It went really well. They even had the dwarves forge me a new weapon. I am happy to see you and dad again but I must ask who is this" Percy asks gesturing to the man. "Ah yes Percy this is Steve Rogers, or many know him as captain America" Martha says answering his question. "Hello, you must be Percy I have heard much about you" Steve says extending his hand "I have read much about you in the history books at school. Must say, I am a huge fan" Percy reply's give Steve a firm hand shake. "I must thank your parents they have been letting me live here as I gotten adjusted to living in this new time. I do also have a mission I was to give you upon your return. Frank, Martha if you would excuse us" Steve says featuring for Percy to follow. Following Steve into the garage, Percy is handed a document surprising him with what he was given. "That is the form about the Avengers initiative that Fury is starting, and he wants you to join it. He said you have" "I accept" Percy said cutting him off. "You don't want to think it through?" "Nah, I read a little bit of it and if it means I get to save the world with captain America I am in" Percy says making Steve chuckle. "I like you spunk kid. Alrighty then since that is the case I will tell Fury. In the mean time keep doing what you usually do and Fury will contact you when there is a mission." Steve says to Percy stepping out of the garage to make a call. As Percy steps back into the house he is welcomed with the smell of fresh eggs and sausage and he can't wait to dig in. Over the following weeks Percy's life went back to normal with him spending most of the time with his parents and friends. However that all change when Percy received a call from Fury "Agent Percy it is time to suit up, we have a Avengers level threat"
