A/N: *Loki voice* Surprise...

I'm not dead people! I mean.... maybe I am? idk 🤷‍♀️ But I've got another chapter for you all. PLUS, I have three winners of my CH3 Challenge!! I'll tag them at the end!!!!!! (Surprised I updated? Me too) And uh... 5,000+ words so don't expect perfect grammer. Now... read away!

Alex POV:

       It was a good few days after the whole prank scenario, and me and everyone were at camp. Well, everyone except Sam. She said she was going to take today to look around the camp a little more, and maybe go visit the city. She said she had a older cousin who moved out here a few years ago, and was going to go and try to go see them.

       But anyways, We were waiting for this scrawny elfish looking boy to come and meet us at the lake. He was gonna show us something, a uh dragon I believe? Apparently he build it or something. I don't know. I don't really care much for dragons. I get all the excitement I need from being dead.

       "HEY! HEEEEY!" I suddenly hear and look behind me. I don't see anybody, so I turn to look out over the water in front of us. Still no one. Then all of a sudden a shadow falls over us and I look up to see a medal dragon ascending from the sky. Huh, its smaller then I thought it would have been. As it lands, Magnus and TJ run over towards it. But the rest of us stay were we are, watching them jump up and down like the little kids they are at heart. Slowly, as the dragon landed and the rider got off, I walked over. This short curly brown-haired kid with a devilish smile started walking over to us, meanwhile his dragon was making weird noises. To which he just nodded.

      "Yeah, yes buddy your gonna half to carry all of them- what? no you can't hold some of them in your mouth! Thats unsanitary! We'd need to at least clean your teeth first." He said, and I first I thought he was talking to himself. But then I realized that he was talking to the dragon. I've seen weirder- MUCH weirder. Don't ask.

       Around 5 minuets later I'm watching some thing come out of the dragons back. It almost looks like bleacher seats, but more raised up and two by two. Carefully we all get on the seats, and strap in. Because there were seatbelts. Thats a nice change. Not a second later, we took off and, even though he'll deny it, Magnus screamed like a little girl. I just laughed. This is so fun! I could feel the wind on my face, and it just felt so good. I could have fallen asleep there, if not for the sudden jerk. All of a sudden this dragon, - Festus I think, - came to a hult. We all jerked backwards and then we were just hovering in midair.

       "Hold on guys, I need to pick a few people up. Percabeth from Sally's." Leo told us, and he looked around for a second before he pulled up on Festus's horns and pushed strait down again. We started nose diving towards an apartment complex. Blitz, and Magnus started screaming, while me and TJ started laughing. This is amazing! I put my hands up like I would on a rollercoaster and we stopped just above the roof. Festus's body coming to a clean hault. Then this Leo guy grabs his phone and starts to text someone. I deside to do the same.

       TIME SKIPPPPP

Super-Sized McShizzel Bad Boy Supreme Commander of the Argo II POV:

       After picking up Percabeth, - what we call Percy and Annabeth, - we all flew over to the empire state building. From there, we landed on the roof (aka the weird green space,) and everyone dismounted my beautiful work of art. Then, I pressed a button under Festus's belly, and a slot opened up with a  picnic basket inside. I grab it, and place it down.

       "Ok, attention everyone!" I said and clasped my hands. "Back up!" I said and waved my hands in a shooing gesture. Everyone backed up as I placed the basket down and then I opened up the top. A red and white picnic blanket was on the top. On the side of the basket was a small red button, which I pushed. There was a small mechanical whirl and then the blanket was launched into the air on a blast of air. Then, about 7 different parts emerged from the compartment, each holding different picnic foods. Pies, sandwiches, a couple baguettes because I know how hungry demigods can be, an assortment of deli meats, jams, a couple knives (for the bread,) dipping sauce for a bunch of different types of crackers I found in Chrion's secret cabnet in the big house- oh wait I'm rambling again.

       Eh, I let my ADHD do what it pleases- SOMETIMES. Never again am I letting the Stolls talk me into stealing a rabbit from the pet store downtown on 5th. Man could that thing kick- RIght, right. The picnic. Well, it was just like a normal picnic. Ya know, the butterknife sword fencing, the food fight, putting the deli mean on sticks and then touching them to make a form of BBQ. Just the usual. Then, after some time, we picked up and left. Heading for Central Park, we almost made it. I mean... technically we did make it. But not without a few casualties.

       Peter POV:

Well... Dad and Pops were arguing again. Something about waffles I think? And where in the freezers they should go? Dad wanted them to go to the left of the frozen fruit because that way there was more room for the tater tots. But Pops wanted them to the right of the frozen fruit so that we could fit more frozen fruit on the left. But to be honest, Pops is the only one who eats the frozen fruit. And thats only if he's in the mood for a fruit smoothie after one of his runs... in the summer... when it's really hot... So yeah, I think I'm on Dads side with this one.

But anyways, I decided to go out Spider-manning. I mean whats the worst that could happened? I run into Doc Ock and he takes me out for some ice cream at the pier? I'll take it, and I'll make him buy me a double scoop. Then, suddenly the clouds part and I see... is that a dragon? B-But... ah, I see. Its a medal dragon. It's a flying, very impressive, medal dragon. Nice! I shoot a web up to it and, instead of yanking on it to prepell myself up there, I use it as a rope and climb up. As soon as I lay one finger on the dragons underside, it jerks upward, and I have to desperately hold on to not get flung off. After a mineut or two, and various shouts coming from above me (and a laugh I belive), the dragon finally settles out, and bends it head down to look at me. Its... eyes.

They glow red, but look almost... alive? How is it possible that a machine can look alive? Hold up. I press my ear against the medal underbelly, and hear a whirling, but it sounds different then it usually should. Not like a mechanical whirling, but... more human. Though not human. More-

       Click?

I look back up at the dragons head. Click whirl?

       Is it... is it talking to me?

"Hello?" I ask.

Click creak click!

"I-I... are you alive?"  I ask.

Creak whirl!

"I'll take that as a yes." I chuckle, and wave ad the dragon. It's eyes glow a little brighter and it lets some sort of gas out of its nostrils. It whiffed past me, and it kinda smelt like... tabasco sauce? Huh, intrestin-AHHHH!

       All of a sudden a curly haired boy with impish features popped down. Well... move like his head popped down. He was grinning ear to ear, and stuck out his hand to me.

       "Hi!" He said a little too energetic. "I'm Leo-" He started to say, before he lost his hold on the dragon, and slipped off. Thinking quickly, I shot a web down towards the quickly falling boy. It stuck to his back, and I yanked him back up. H e screamed as I did so, but less so seeming scared, and more so thrilled. As I crawled up to the top of the dragon, I pulled the boy up with me.

       "THAT WAS AWESOME!!! AGAIN! AGAIN!" The boy, Leo I think, said and started clapping his hands.

"Uhm... no?" I question. Usually after being saved by a superhero the civilian doesn't ask the hero to put them back in harms way.

"Aww! But that was so fun!" Leo says, and I just cock my head. Then all of a sudden someone says something.

"It's you!" They say, and I whip my head around to see... the people in the park from the other day and my pranking buddies? And... and the teams targets. Oh my god. I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF TWO OF THE FRICKIN' PEOPLE THE TEAM HAS BEEN TRYING TO FRICKIN' CATCH FOR THE PAST THREE FRICKIN' WEEKS! Oh god what do I do?! To I bring them in? Tell Dad or Pops or the whole team?! But if I-

       "-ello?" I zone back in to someone waving a hand in front of my face. I realize it's the leo kid, and that we've stopped flying around and are now on the rooftop of a building overlooking Coney Island. "You good there?" He asks me, and I pry my gaze away from Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Wait... Annabeth... SHE WAS FRICKIN' THERE WHEN I GAVE THE FRICKIN' PRIVATE TOUR-

       "Yeah, yeah I'm good. Just got lost in thought..." I start to say, before realizing I need an excuse. "...Wondering how this dragon works. I mean is it jet propelled? Does it hover? Or is there like some sort of invisible legs underneath that hop from rooftop to rooftop? Wait no... that wouldn't work because of how smoothly it glides-" I stop talking and look up at Leo. His eyes are wide like he's going to explode in about two minutes. I gulp. "I didn't mean to ramble, I was just thinking about-"

"It's an automated dragon!" He squeals before I can finish, and my jaw drops.

"How is that even possible!?" I fanboy, and jump off the dragon and look at it's undersides. It looks so real... "What type of medal is this?" I ask.

"It's bron-" He starts to say, now jumping up and down with me, before Alex I believe, interrupts him.

"So? Are we going to Coney Island or not? Because if you two are gonna keep talking about different types of medals, and as interesting as that is, which its not, I'm gonna go on without you." They say, and that is definitely Alex.

"Okay! Okay! I'm done I'm..." Leo starts before turning to me and his eyes get even wider is possible. "Wanna come with us?!" He asks me, and I look to the group. No one objects, and I'm about to say yes, when I think about whats about to happen. I'm still Spider-Man. Not Peter Parker.

       "I'd love to but-" Just then my phone goes off and I pull it out of it's secret compartment in my suit. "I love to, but I just got a report of a baddie on the corner of 6th and Franklin Avenue. Sorry guys! Maybe next time?" I say, quickly coming up with a lie. It wasn't really a villain alert. It was a text from Dad saying to be home by 5, and that him and the team had gone out. And plus, there's no such thing as a 'villain alert'... at least not yet anyways.

       "Nice to meet you all!" I say as I shoot a web and disappear from view behind a building. Then, I swing down as close as I can get to Coney Island, but so I'm hidden from any of those guys' view. I quickly change and grab my phone, and run to the bottom of the building that the dragon had landed on. Now, I'm Peter Parker, not Spider-Man. I'm the kid who knows a few of the people riding on the back of that awesome dragon. So if I show up to hang out with them, it wouldn't seem suspicious now would it? It'd just be like a 'Oh you guys are here too? Mind if I tag along?' kinda thing. Cause like, I have nowhere to be and time to kill.

       Persassy POV:

After Leo came and picked me and my Wise Girl up, after the weird Spider-Guy showed up and saved leo, and after he finally left, we were on our way to a day of fun. Oh but Percy, weren't you and Annabeth just hanging out? What could be better than that!? Anything. Literally anything. We were studying, not having fun. And she had agreed to spend the rest of the day with me at Coney Island and Leo said he could take us. But apparently he was also showing around Magnus, and Alex, and a few of their friends who had come to visit Annabeth and check out camp. Annabeth and me had met them a while back, so it wasn't that awkward hanging out with them for the ride. But it was a little awkward at first when I asked Hearth what his name was, and he started signing and I thought he was doing some sort of dwarf dance. But that was a while ago- erm... Well it was 10 minuets ago... so yeah.

       Walking down from the door on the roof, we soon realized that the building we had landed on was a storage supply for those... uh... Whatever those big plastic containers at schools are called that you use to refill your water bottle and get really mad at when there's no water left and your a son of Poseidon and your whole existence is pretty much water so you have to sit through the last two classes of the day in a stuffy classroom with no air conditioning with no water and your sweating your clothes off all you want to do is go home. Yeah, those. But we didn't see anyone there so we just assumed that it was either closed or abandoned considering the fact that the roof door was unlocked. Thought halfway through our decent, Leo said he had to go to the bathroom, and he broke off from our group. He said he'd meet us on the sidewalk after he found a bathroom.

       But as soon as we got to the ground floor and out the door, some kid looking at his phone walking past, bumped into us. He looked up apologetic but as soon as he and Magnus made eye contact, they both looked at each other and... looked like they wanted to hug? ...Or something like that. Maybe high five?

       "It's you! Pe-Pa-Patrick- No no! Peter!" Magnus said and Peter smiled.

"And your... Magnus!" He said, clasping his hands together when the name finally come to him. "And... Alex, Hearth, Blitzen... and DJ? No, no TJ!" Peter said, pointing to each person as he listed them off. "Wait- wheres Sam?" He asked

"Oh, she's taking a personal day. Guess she can't handle being around all this awesome." Magnus said and gestured to himself. Alex rolled her eyes off to my left, meanwhile Annabeth took my hand in hers.

"So uh, cuz you gonna introduce us to your friend here?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, Peter was it?" I asked. Peter nodded.

"Yep!" He said, but then looked at Annabeth a bit closer, squinted his eyes like he was thinking about something, and then he must have come to a conclusion because his eyes widened. "Wait we already know each other!" He exclaimed at Annabeth. I sigh.

"Great, I'm the only one who doesn't know Peter." I say and pout. Annabeth pats my head like I'm a cute puppy. I mean... I'll take the cute.

"It's ok." She says to me the way one might talk to a cute puppy. "He's just a bit upset, but as soon as we get him some blue cookies he'll feel better." She says to everyone, and I gasp dramatically, looking at her. I playfully slap at her arm, and she giggles.

"For your information, those cookies are to die for." I say, making a big deal on the word 'die'. Immediately Alex, Magnus, and TJ look at me.

"Gimme one!" Alex screeches. "I need to try one of these legacies!"

"Ooh ooh! Me too!" TJ says and raises his hand as though I might hand them out.

"Oh me three!" Magnus adds in, meanwhile Blitz and Hearth stay off to the side. Just then Hearth signs something, and then Blitz translates it.

"Hearth says that he's going to check out the museum to see if they have a gift shop so he can find a scarff. I'm gonna come along with him." Blitz says, and they turn and walk towards the entrance to the park. Just then Peter clears his throat.

"So uh," He starts, before starting to fidget with his hands. "I don't think I caught your name." He says, and I blush because I had gotten caught up in Mom's cookies.

"R-Right." I stick out my hand. "I'm Percy, Percy Jackson."

       Peter POV:

       "R-Right." Percy says, reaching his hand out to me. "I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." He says, and I reach for his hand.

"Peter Parker." I introduce, and look towards Magnus. "S-Sorry, I kinda intruded there."

"Oh no problem, we were just going to Coney Island." He says and I pretend like I was going there too.

"No way me too!" I say, hoping they'll ask me to tag along.

"Wanna come? I mean we just lost two people in our group to gift shop scarffs." He says and rolls his eyes. I nod.

"Sure, I mean I'm not going with anybody. Just had some time to kill and thought what better then come down here?" I said truthfully, because I really didn't have anything better to do.

"Alright then," Magnus says as he looks around. "Lets go, but first we gotta wait for someone-" All of a sudden the kid, Leo, comes bursting through the doors of the building they all just walked out of.

"Lets go kids! Papa Leo needs his cotton candy!" He says, eyes wide, as though he's already had cotton candy. I'm scared to see what he's like after the sugar. Leo then runs across the street towards the beach, and we all follow him.

LE NOTHER TIME OF THE SKIPS

       After an hour or two, we all found one of those 'shoot down the object and you win' games, like the one in Despicable Me, but this one wasn't rigged. And everyone was trying to beat the others high score. I could have easily beaten them all, but I stepped away and told them I was going to call my dad to check in on him. Or at least, that's what I was going to do. As soon as I touched my phone, it opened up to the lock screen and I saw the text from Dad. I took a moment to read it fully, and my breath caught in my throat.

       🛠Dad🧡

               Hey Pete, me, Pops, and the rest of the team are gonna be gone till 5, so please be back from patrol around then. We're going to Coney Island by the way, just in case you wanted to stop by. Love Dad.

      Oh god- oh no- oH NO NO! If they see me here, with them! With Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase! Oh no no no... they can not see me with them. They'll bring them in if they see them, create a big scene, and then if Percy and Annabeth see me later when there locked up in the tower or wherever they're gonna be held, they'll think I got close to Magnus because he's Annabeths cousin, so I could get to her and Percy. They'll blame me and be mad at me for the team capturing them. But to be honest, I don't see what's so terroristy about them. There cute together, not dangerous, and just seem like normal teens. They-

       "Hey Pete!" I hear, and dreading it, I look up. Oh no. No no no. Its Dad and Nat. I don't see the rest of the group, but I'm glad. Maybe I can lead them away from here. I quickly walk over to them, and stopped them before they could get any closer.

       "H-Hey guys," I say as casually as I can muster.

"Hey Pete, whatcha doing here?" Dad asks, and I look at him trying to come up with a lie. "Get off of patrol early?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Yep! And I came strait here to try and find you guys. But um, if you don't mine I kinda found some friends. Ned, MJ, you know. They went to go find some venders though, because I was gonna try and look for you guys." I finish, fidgeting with my hands behind my back, because anyone who knows me, knows when I get nervous or have something to hide, I fidget. Nat raises an eyebrow at my story, like she doesn't buy it.

"Well I don't wanna keep them waiting. Enjoy your food- oh, and here. For the food." Dad winks, and pulls an 100 out of his pocket. I blush at the amount of money and quickly shove it in my pocket as he hands it to me.

"T-Thanks Dad." I say, and quickly walk away from them both before anyone sees me talking to Tony Stark. No one knows I'm a Stark, so it might seem sorta suspicious.

       As I'm walking back over to everyone, I can't help but feel like someones watching me. So instead, I take a left, stop at a dead end.

       "Nat, I know it's you." I say, and I hear a sigh. She mumbles something, before I turn around.

"I'm sorry Peter, but next time, come up with a better lie." She says, and I chew my lip. then she gives me a 'spill' look. This time I sigh.

"Look its just- I kinda found Magnus, Alex, TJ, you know. The people from the group chat the and prank the other day? And I'm hanging out with them, and I kinda don't want Dad or the rest of the team to know. Because of stranger danger." I confess, and Aunty Tasha's face softens.

"It's ok мой маленький паук, just let me know next time." She says, and I nod. (My little spider btw)

"I will, I promise." I say, and she smiles.

"I bet you will." She says, and leaves. And not a moment later she's swept up in the crowd, as if she wasn't even there. Spys.

       Lord of the Bathrooms POV:

       After that Peter kid returned to us, we started making our way towards the Cyclone. We had planned to end the fun there, and boy was that line long. But leave it up to a few ADHD demigods to make it interesting. Lets just say, we may or may not be the reason pipe cleaners and plastic sporks are no longer allowed in waiting lines at Coney Island... yeah.

       After a good hour, we were finally getting strapped in our seats. And because it was two-by-two, me and my Wise Girl were next to one another. And Alex and Magnus, TJ and Peter, and Leo... Well... lets just say I feel bad for someone in about 3... 2.. 1.

       THAT. WAS. FREAKING. AMAZING. OH MY GODS. It didn't take long for the cars to go up, but man when they got going, I was laughing the whole time, with my hands up. Annabeth was a little scared at first, but soon got used to the bumps, and put her hands up as well. Though she kept making remarks on how they could have changed the altitude to go higher, or used a cheaper more sturdy wood to make the track longer at a fraction of the price.

       After the ride was over, we all started walking to the park exit. We were only a few feet from it, when I felt like I was gonna throw up. I quickly looked around for a garbage can, and ran over to it. And uh... from there on... I bet you have a good idea on what happened. But not a minuet after I finished heaving the last of my carnival food, Leo, Magnus, and basically almost everyone else found their own trash cans to throw up into. Ok, now I feel bad for the ground keepers. But I mean, maybe we should have thought about if eating a bunch of junk food before getting on a roller coaster was a good idea.

       After a good 10 minuets, Peter is the only who hasn't thrown up yet. I watch as he grabs his phone and texts someone. Then he looks up at all of us, bites his lower lip, and continues texting. Then he puts his phone away.

       "So uh guys, do you need a ride home?" He asks, and we all share glances. It's obviously not a good idea to fly home, but we have no other way to get back to camp except walking. I look up at Peter, and nod.

"Y-Yeah, if you don't mind." I say, wiping my mouth.

"Ok um, my dad's sending a car, but in the mean time I'm going to go buy waters for you all." He says, and I'm wondering where Magnus and Annabeth found this guy. He's amazing!

TiMe sKiP tO wHeN hApPy gEtS tHeRe bEcAuSe wHo eLsE wOuLd bE dRiViNg tHem?

aLsO pEtEr PoV:

              As soon as I got back from getting everyone waters, I see Happy pull up, and my face goes red. Dad sent a whole mother bleeping limo. Dad! But it's to late to go back on it now, because everyone is already craming into it, and looking throught the mini fridge. I home they don't think I'm some suck up. As the last one getting in, I close the door.

       The ride is only about half an hour, but it feels way shorter. But time flys by when your having fun right? Me and TJ had got to talking a little on the roller coaster, and we sat next to each other inside the limo. It turns out he knows a lot about wars, and even has an old Civil War rifle.
"You know, my Pops knows a lot about World War 2." I told him, and his eyes spark with interest.
"Really? Did he fight?" He asks, and I hesitate. They don't know about my having two dads, so maybe I try and make it sound like my 'Pops' fought in WW2? Like he's my great great grandfather or something. But I mean, that's not wrong.
"He- well yeah. He's in his 90s, early 100s- ok that sounds so weird." I tell TJ, thinking about Pops really age... 103. Huh, Pops is old.

"Wow really?! Did you know that only 2% of americans were killed in the Civil War?" TJ asks me, and I shake my head no.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yep!" He confirms, and then I remember something.

"Hey, you know were on the Veterans Memorial Highway right now?" I tell TJ, and he rushes to look out one of the windows.

"Wow... cool!" He says, and we continue talking for the next 15 minuets or so. After a while of everyone just kind of doing their own thing, Percy turns to me.

"So uh, Peter... Do you mind me asking uhm..." Percy starts to ask, and knowing what he's asking, I internally sigh.

"I um... yeah." I take a breath, know I was gonna have to spill at some point. "So my dad likes cars." I say. "And he likes to be spontaneous with what he likes to send for me to get picked up in." I lie, well... half lie. He does like cars, and I guess he does like to be spontaneous.

"Ok, um..." Percy said, clearly not convinced, but deciding to drop it. After a few more minuets, the car stopped, and Happy rolled down the divider. This spooked a few people, including Percy, who held out a pen like it was a lethal weapon. Annabeth slapped his arm and he lowered the pen, and put in into his pocket.

"This uh, is the address the blond one gave me... but there's nothing here-" Happy started to say, before Annabeth interrupted him.

"No, it's right." Annabeth, the 'blonde one' said. "It's uh... a camp. A summer camp, but me, Percy, and Leo are showing around Magnus, my cousin. But Peter, I think you already knew that. Um, but Magnus, Alex, TJ, Blitz, Hearth- OH MY GODS WE FORGOT ABOUT BLITZEN AND HEARTHSTONE!" Annabeth exclaimed, and everyone else sorta freaked and looked back at the way we'd come as if they would be right behind us.

"We have to go back and get them!" Annabeth said, and looked at me, and then Happy who still had the divider down watching our conversation.

"I-I mean we could maybe go back..." I suggest.

"It's too late now, and besides, they probably got some sort of ride back?" Annabeth questioned, right before there was a horn honking. Leo immediately opens the car door, after fiddling with it for a second. And then he bursts outside and I can vaguely hear him talking about something. Then someones other voice, then an engine starting, and then a few footsteps getting closer. Then Leos head popped into view from the open door, and then Blitz and Heart were visible by his side. They were here!

After Blitz told us that they got a cab back here, and Hearth showed us his new green, purple, and red scarf, - and the pink, black, purple, white, and blue scarf he got for Alex from the pride section of the store, - I waved goodbye to the eight of them as they disappeared into the woods. Though I was a little confused as to how they knew where they were going in the dark woods, but none the less, I got back into the car and Happy drove me back to the tower, where hopefully, there wasn't another fight over pop tarts.
