Chapter 130: We assemble

(Percy POV)

The SHIELD Quinjet landed on the massive battleship known as the Helicarrier.

The massive battleship was unlike any other. It had two runways. The one with direct access to the hangar at the rear was aligned along the spine of the vessel.

It looked like a regular military base instead of a ship, people were running around all over the place and there were all kinds of military vehicles parked on the battleship.

After a few minutes the passengers of the jet had managed to comprehend what they had been seeing, or at least they had tried to rationalize it.

After they all had decided it was a weird anomaly the back of the Quinjet opened and a ramp came down. Agent Coulson said he had to debrief the flight to Fury and left in a hurry.

"So that just happened." I said dryly.

Steve Rogers nodded. "That just happened."

"Steve Rogers?" A red haired woman yelled walking towards us.

She wore a leather jacket with a red tank top underneath it, she wore black jeans but the most surprising thing was the gun on her belt, which she was not even try to hide.

"Ma'am." Steve acknowledged her.

She eyed me suspiciously, "You're Percy Jackson right?"

I grinned. "I'm Chaos." I pointed at Steve. "And he's Captain America. We are superheroes."

Steve chuckled while the woman rolled her eyes.

"I'm Natasha Romanoff." she introduced herself. "

She guided us towards the railing of the ship. "So Captain America, there was quite a fuzz around you when you wake up."

"Yes." Steve said. "I too thought it was weird, waking up after so many years and seeing the world has changed so much."

"But you'll catch up in no time. We'll have a movie marathon together and within a month you'll be up to date." I told Steve.

Steve nodded. "Yeah, that sounds good."

"Ah," Natasha said. "There's Banner."

She pointed at a man wearing a grey suit with a purple shirt underneath. He was walking around in circles, clearly confused and out of place on this battleship.

"Bruce!" Agent Romanoff yelled when as we approached him.

"Ah," he said as he finally saw someone he recognized. He nodded. "Agent Romanoff."

He shook Steve's hand. "Oh, yeah. Hi. They told me you'd be coming."

"Hi," I said when it was clear Dr. Banner was so lost he would not great me. "I'm a superhero."

He raised an eyebrow and turned to Natasha. "SHIELD starts recruiting at a young age."

I huffed. "I am 14."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh, well-"

"They said you can track the cube?" Steve interrupted our pointless discussion

"That's the only thing they say about me?" Bruce asked.

"That's the only thing I care about." Steve answered.

"Must be strange for you, all of this." Bruce said.

Steve shrugged. "Yes. But Percy here promised me to help me catch up."

I grinned. "After this mess is over we're going to watch Star Wars."

Natasha coughed. "Gentlemen, you may wanna step inside in a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breath."

"Are we going to sink?" I wondered.

Natasha smiled sinisterly.

The ship began to shake and I heard gigantic engines come to life, I heard turbines started to churn the ocean water.

Four gigantic vans, 2 on each side of the ship, started to lift the ship up in the air.

Slowly the ship began to fly up, my eyes widened.

"No shit," I muttered. "It's a flying ship."

The giant battleship was flying in the air.

"Look who decided to show up." Natasha said and she pointed at a light in the distance.

A bright flash appeared on the horizon and began to fly towards us. As it came closer I recognized it as a human, the light was actually some kind of rockets the person in questions used them as propulsions.

"It's the Robot dude!" I yelled as he stopped above us.

It stopped flying and dropped down, doing a perfect superhero landing in front of us; finally revealing how it looked like.

The robot suit was colored red with gold. Different metal plates were interlinked with each other, making it look like it was one solid oiled machine. On the face plate were two bright lights that resembled something like eyes and on his chest bright glowing cylinder which must have been the Arc reactor I heard so about.

The face plate shifted open and revealed the person inside.

"Tony Stark." Natasha said with a trace of annoyance in her voice.

'Oh,' Chaos said excited. "I know him. He's like Ray Palmer without the shrinking ability.'

'Who is Ray Palmer?'

'Nevermind.' Chaos shrugged.

He extended his metallic hand to Steve. "Hey capsicle. Finally unfrozen?"

"What?"

"You might have missed a couple of things," Tony said. "You know, doing time as a capsicle."

Tony Stark, the millionaire playboy who was also an ingenious inventor who sold weapons. When he was kidnapped by some organization named the ten rings and saw what they were using his weapons for he decided to stop the entire weapon business. Instead he made a suit, a robot suit.

Steve shook Tony's hand, albeit reluctantly.

"Dr. Banner." Tony said with a nod, "Romanoff is here too I see. How charming."

Tired of being ignored, I introduced myself.

"Hi!" I said. "I'm Percy Jackson. You're Iron Man right?"

"Tony Stark," He introduced himself. "But yes, I am Iron Man."

"Oh," I said. "I want to correct myself. I am Chaos."

Tony stark huffed and turned to Natasha. "Is this the new kid Fury was talking about."

"I'm here you know." I raised with a raised eyebrow.

Natasha nodded.

Tony turned to me, "Fury is joking right? I mean how old is, 15,16?"

"14." I answered. "And I'm a Superhero."

"Kid," Tony said with an arrogant tone. "Cosplaying does not make you a superhero."

I raised an eyebrow. "I'm not cosplaying." then a thought popped up. "By the way, you're the one here who only has a suit that grants him powers."

'You forgot about Falcon and War Machine.' Chaos murmured annoyed, although I had no idea who they were.

"Look kid," Tony said. "It's not the suit that makes me who I am."

'Chaos?' I asked.

'With pleasure.' Chaos said with an evil smirk.

Suddenly Tony stark's suit started making weird sounds, like gears grinding and Tony twitched in his suit.

Tony's frowned in confusion. "Jarvis," he said to no one in particular. "What's going on?"

"Sir," said a robotic voice with a british accent. "Our systems are being overwritten-"

Suddenly the voice died down and was replaced by a familiar female voice.

"Hi everyone," Chaos' voice came through the speakers.

Natasha reached for the gun at her belt, Banner stepped back while Steve's eyes widened; unfamiliar with technology but he knew that this was not normal.

"Hi," Chaos said, her voice coming through Iron Man's speakersysteem.

"What's going on?" Tony asked, "Stop it."

"I hope I don't damage something important…" Chaos said while giggling like a little girl. "Oh look, what happens if I'll make the engines overheat?"

Tony's face went from confusion to horror, "Stop it kid."

I shot him an apologetic smile while silently asking Chaos to back down.

When Tony regained control over his suit he swallowed., "What was that? What are you?"

"I'm a Mutant. And I just taught you a valuable lesson," I said. "Don't underestimate someone because of their age."

Tony nodded, looking really pale.

Bruce shot me a curious look while Natasha glanced at me with new respect.

"It's not the suit," I said, "It's the attitude."

"Whatever you say kid." Tony muttered grudgingly.

And with that the Avengers had assembled.

Mmm...we should make a catchphrase out it. Or a war cry.

We entered the hangar and made our way towards the main command room where I saw Steve give Director Fury 10 dollar.

The command room had a lot of people working on the pc, an almost endless rows of terminals that displayed all kinds of information about the ship. In the middle of it all stood Directory Fury, standing in the middle of some kind of flying holographic hologram screen.

He switched a few dials on the holographic screen.

Suddenly the entire ship began to turn invisible. On the outside the panels the turned into mirrors, turning the entire ship nearly invisible.

I whistled. "Now, that's impressive."

Mental note to myself, figure out if Leo can make the Argo II do the same.

Fury noticed Dr. Banner and he shook his hand. "Glad you could make it."

"Thanks for asking nicely," Bruce said, clearly surprised by the fact he Fury was not forcing him.. "So, uh... how long am I staying?"

"Until the Tesseract is found. After that you can go your own way." Fury said.

"Ah," Fury said as he looked at Tony. "Finally decided to come down from your high tower?"

Tony shrugged. "You kind of interrupted what I was doing. But I'm here now." He spread his arms triumphantly. "So how far did you got already?"

Agent Coulson entered the room and shook hands with Bruce. When he had exchanged formalities with Banner he pointed at one of the monitors.

It showed some camera footage of an empty back alley.

"We're sweeping every wirelessly accessible camera on the planet. Cellphones, laptops. If it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." He explained.

"Isn't that illegal?"

"SHIELD would never invoke someone's privacy." Tony said glaring at Fury.

Natasha rolled her eyes, "It's necessary. And it's not even enough."

"You have to narrow the field. How many spectrometers do you have access to?" Bruce asked.

"Please bring Tony and Bruce to their lab." Fury asked Natasha.

Natasha nodded and gestured the two scientist to follow her down the hall.

Fury turned to me when they had left. "Nice suit."

I grinned. "Thanks."

"But are you really going to fight with a sword?" Fury asked interested.

"Of course." I said. "Cap's going to use a shield. So it's only natural.'

"You realise our enemies don't use bows and swords right?" Steve asked.

"You shouldn't be talking mister: I save the world with a frisbee."

Steve chuckled. "Touché."

SHIELD, with the help of Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, had managed to track down Loki.

They had tracked him down to Germany and found Loki in a crowd of people.

"Stuttgart, Germany. 28, Konigstrasse." Fury said, "Cap you're on it."

Steve nodded and we quickly suited up for a trip.

Tony stark stepped into his Iron man armour while Steve dressed himself in his original Captain America suit. I thought it looked a bit outdated but Agent Coulson loved it.

Natasha was controlling the jet so we had some spare time in the back, we decided to chat a little.

"You know," I said studying Cap's suit. "If you manage to streamline the suit, maybe add some darker tones."

Steve nodded, probably taking notes.

"Also," Tony said. "You really should make the shield magnetic or something. So it returns to you."

"Wasn't your father the one who made it?" I asked.

"Howard Stark," Steve said. "That's your father right?"

Tony nodded. "Yes. Howard Stark, genius inventor."

"He was a great man." Steve said, trying to change the mood.

"Well, he was a bad parent." Tony said, and he put on the Iron Man mask, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

The rest of the flight we sat in silence.

We entered the Germany without a problem, Natasha flew towards the museum Loki had been spotted.

The jet leaned forward and we saw Loki standing in front of a crowd. Like a god.

Natasha opened the ramp on the back and we jumped, except Natasha because someone had to drive us home.

Loki was holding the scepter again, but this time he wore some kind of armour. It didn't look practical though, the golden horns on his helmet would only add more weight.

He had pointed his spear at someone in the crowd. My guess that he was going to shoot him down with the scepter.

Steve landed straight into the fireline and blocked the blast with his shield.S

Steve stood up protectively, people were eying him almost like he was a god.

Iron man hovered above the crowd, carefully making sure nothing escaped his sight.

I jumped downs and shot a webline at the museum roof before I hit the ground. I swung myself across the plaza.

But Percy, I hear you ask, why don't you just land next to Cap?

SImple, I wanted to see how things were playing out before giving myself away. I made my cape shroud myself in darkness as I swung over the crow, I did a perfect landing on the rooftop and stepped out of my cape's shadow.

Loki now stood with his back to me, "Perfect."

"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing," Steve amused.

"And now we do again." Tony said with his robotic voice.

To prove his statement he aimed his rockets at Loki.

Natasha made the jet lean forward and aimed the machine gun at Loki.

"Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." Natasha's voice spoke through the speakers. I heavily doubted that Natasha could shoot without some major property damage; and people.

Loki shrugged.

Loki appeared behind Cap and slashed with his spear. Cap, being a supersoldier, spun around and blocked it.

Iron man shot a repulsor blast at Loki's back, the trickster, however, managed to change position with Captain America and Tony almost hit Steve.

Damn, Asgardian strength.

Steve leaned backwards and both fighters dropped to the ground.

Iron man charged down with the intention to punch Loki in the face but the trickster had disappeared.

He appeared in the middle of the crowd and pointed his spear at girl in the crowd.

'Oh,' Chaos said. 'He has a hostage.'

I gritted my teeth as Loki grabbed the girl and pulled him closer while pointing his spear at the little girl.

The people around him dispersed, forming a circle. And a clear shot.

Iron Man and Cap slowly rose, glaring Loki who smiled smugly.

"Let go of that girl." Steve demanded as he grabbed his shield.

Iron man aimed both his repulsors at Loki.

"What about no?" Loki smiled, his green eyes were glowing; almost blue instead of green..

"Time to bring some Chaos." I whispered.

I jumped of the roof towards Loki, which would've been impossible wasn't it for the fact I had superhuman strength and flexibility.

In a split second I pushed the girl away and tackled Loki. Which felt like trying to tackle a concrete pillar. But I managed it.

I drew Riptide from my back but it was not necessary to use it.

A shield and two repulsor blasts struck Loki in the chet and threw him across the field.

"NIce one." I gave Steve a thumbs up.

The three of us approached the groaning god. His spear had been tossed away, so he was basically unarmed.

Vines had sprouted and wrapped themselves around Loki, restraining him.

I thought we made a good team already.

"Don't get up." I said as I aimed Riptide at the god's throat.

Mistake, he recognized the blade somehow. "Percy?" he hissed.

"Sssstt!" I almost yelled. Then I whispered. "These people don't know me. Call me Chaos."

My two friends sweatdropped while Loki stared at me like I was crazy.

He moved his arms, trying to break the restraints but he failed.

Loki had a look of surprise on his face. "How did you beat me?"

I shrugged. "Fought before in my life."

Loki gritted his teeth, "You're skills surprise me. You're far better than any midgardian I've seen on Earth."

"Thanks," I said. "But flattering is not going to keep you from getting arrest."

"I arrest you in name of-" I frowned. In name of what? The law? I was not a cop, SHIELD? I was not officially connected to shield. "Something." I finally said, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

Tony brought out a set of high-tech handcuffs. "Move it Reindeer games."

We cuffed Loki and quickly entered the Jet where Natasha was waiting for us. Steve took the spear, handling it like it was dynamite.

Tony took of his helmet, "Seriously Kid? You waited till Loki got a hostage?

"First off," I growled. "My name is Percy. Second, it's called strategy. Waiting patiently before revealing your best cards."

"You did a good job." Steve shot me a reassuring smile, then he glared at Tony.

Suddenly thunder rumbled outside.

Loki perked up, "What? Scared for some lighting?"

I grinned, "That's ironic. Considering he and Thor are..."

Suddenly I realized we kidnapped Thor's brother.

Which was something weird, considering that in my world they were not related to each other.

Loki winked at me.

"Tony, put on your helme-"

The jet door opened and revealed a person standing in the back of the jet.

When lightning flashed in the background I briefly saw him.

A tall blond man with grey and silver armour, a blood red cloak tied around his neck. And a giant hammer in his hand.

"Thor" I cried out.

He ignored me and stepped grabbed Loki by the throat, without even bothering to explain anything.

Tony stepped forward but before he could do anything Thor threw his hammer at him. It hit him right in the chest.

Tony crashed down next to the pilot seat.

Thor's hammer floated back to his hand and he jumped out of the plane.

"Son of a bitch!" Tony said and he put on his helmet.

"Who's that guy?" Steve asked flabbergasted.

"Thor," I said. "A god. We should consider our options and see if we can talk with him."

"No kid," Tony said. "If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost."

Tony turned and jumped off the jet to chase after Thor.

I sighed and shot Natasha and Steve an apologetic smile.

"Someone needs to keep those two from messing up."

And with that I jumped out of the plane.

...

(Steve POV)

"Is he wearing a parachute?" Natasha asked flabbergasted.
