Percy pov

School was torturous as usual. At least I didn't have any homework. At least I think I didn't. Oh well. Annabeth would remind me of anything I'd forgotten. After yelling at me of course. I walking into my house. "Mom, I'm home."

"Hey sweetie, how was your day?"

"Monster free so far."

"Don't jinx it" she said teasingly.

"Annabeth is coming over later. "

"Alright, I'm almost done making cookies."

"Are they blue?" I asked.

"No, I decided to try something different today. They're purple." I scowled. "Just kidding." She said laughing. "Of course they're blue. I wouldn't have them any other way."

"Mom," I said with a stern expression, "you do not joke about cookies."

"Understood," she said with an equally stern expression nodding but soon started laughing and I couldn't help but to start laughing as well.

"Can I help?"

"No siree, you are banned from my kitchen until Annabeth gets a pet spider."

"Mom," I said complaining, "I set the kitchen on fire one time, just one time"
She raised an eyebrow "aren't you forgetting about the ravioli incident?"

"How was I supposed to know you don't put cans in the microwave!"

"What about the mac'n'cheese incident?"

"No one told me you had to boil the noodles, I thought the water was for the cheese sauce. And who knew that noodles could catch on fire!"

"What about..."

"Alright, alright, I get it. No kitchen privileges until Annabeth gets a...... WAIT A SECOND! She'll never get a pet spider!!!"

"Exactly." She smirked walking back into the kitchen.

*********the time skip*************of all time skips***************bow before my lineliness****************

The cookies were cooling when there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it" mom called. When she left the kitchen I used all my demigod skills to sneak into the kitchen. Just as I was about to grab a cookie my called from the front room. "Honey, I think it's for you." She said uncertainly. I headed to the door taking riptide out of my pocket but keeping it in pen form. The person at the door did not appear like a monster but they were crafty little buggers.

"Yeah?" I said very intelligibly. Annabeth would probably disagree.

"Hello, I'm Steve." He said reaching his hand out to shake.

I raised an eyebrow looking at his outfit which totally did not give away who he was. "Sooo, what do you need, Captain America?"

He dropped his hand "I came here to speak.."

"Hey would you like a cookie, they're fresh out of the oven." I said heading to the kitchen where my mom had gone when I came to the door. "I assure you that they will be the best cookies you have ever eaten." He stood there for a while opening and closing his mouth looking like a fish. I would know, seeing as I talk to them all the time. I've gotten some weird looks from pet store employees. "We also have coffee. Wait. Do you know what coffee is? Was that even around before you were frozen? Hey, when are you from again? I have a friend who I am sure would love to meet you." I said snickering thinking of Nico.

What were we talking about again? Oh right. The amazingness that is my mom's blue chocolate chip cookies and how the poor Captain America might not know about coffee. Poor deprived soul. Coffee is the blood source to the average human being, especially demigods. But for some reason Annabeth doesn't let any of us near coffee, something about the caffeine affecting us. I think I remember her mumbling something about capture the flag with hyper campers ending in disaster. Wait a second. I was rambling again. Stupid ADHD.

"So Steve, would you like some cookies?" I turned into the kitchen without waiting for an answer. I mean who can resist the famous Jackson cookies?

Steve walked in behind me "I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your offer I have orders to arrest you.."

"For SHEILD, ya I know. I got that after the first couple agents. For a secret organization you guys are sure bad at staying secret. But you can arrest me after enjoying some of my mom's cookies. Hey mom do we have any coffee?"

"You are not drinking any coffee! Last time it took days to clean the house up after you went rampaging about the house hunting for fairies." She called from the next room. I heard Steve snort.

"It's not for me" I whined "it's for my friend Steve." Before she answered there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it. I'll be back in a bit. Don't worry you can arrest me later. Or at least attempt to arrest me."

When I opened the door Annabeth was standing there fiddling with her bone knife. "Hey Annabeth, bet you can't guess whose in my kitchen." She raised an eyebrow.

"Is it fairies again?" she deadpanned. I pouted.

"No. It's one of the Avengers!"

"WHAT!?" she screamed storming to the kitchen with me following closely behind grinning. When I got there I saw Steve about to take a bite of one of the cookies and Annabeth pointing her knife at him. "You and your stupid organization better leave my boyfriend alone or I swear I will destroy each and every one of you!" she put her knife away and proceeded to grab a cookie and sit down to eat it.

"Hey Annabeth, don't you think Nico would like to meet him?" I asked. She rolled her eyes at me. Steve still looked frozen (ha ha get it frozen, no ok fine I'll just have to let it go, snicker snicker). "Don't worry" I told him "you'll be fine unless you actually get me which won't happen so you'll be fine." At this point I was wondering where my mom had gone. And as if my thought had summoned her she appeared in the doorway.

"Hey Percy I need to start getting dinner ready so can you and your friends move to the living room, thanks" she said. I quickly scrambled to get out of the kitchen nabbing a few more cookies before leaving with Annabeth following her own cookie stash held in one hand and her knife in the other to defend against any cookie thief's.

Steve however didn't follow. "I'm afraid you're going to have to come with me" he said grabbing his shield. I rolled my eyes.

"like I told Metal Guy,"

"Iron Man" Annabeth corrected

"Iron Man I don't go out on dates with people I've just met and I definitely think you should use your imagination if the best place for a first date you can think of is a prison cell." I smirked and Annabeth just facepalmed. He threw his shield. I wonder if all SHIELD agents have to carry shields?

I merely sidestepped the shield wincing as it broke one of mom's flower vases and prepared to fight as Captain America ran at me. I kind of wished he was a monster so I could just swing riptide and be done with it. But noooo, the Fates just had to stick mortals on my tail as well. I blocked his first punch attempting to knee him in the stomach but he blocked it. I looked to Annabeth for help but she was just idly picking her nails with her knife. I huffed. It wasn't that this fight was hard it was just that I was trying to avoid destroying the house. Mom would ground my for eternity if I did that. Again as if my thoughts had summoned her she appeared in the doorway. Seriously, am I getting some magic power or something?

"Percy Jackson! I just cleaned the house!"

"Sorry" I called concentrating again on the fight which I had pretty much been fighting subconsciously before. "Uggh, Annabeth" I whined "Can you just shoot him already?" She glanced up at me before fiddling with her knife again. I frowned knocking Steve back and making him trip over the couch.

"Percy Jackson I demand that you come with me. You are a criminal that must be stopped."

"And you have that right because..?' I questioned standing in a defensive position between Steve and my mom who was still fuming about the wrecked living room in the kitchen doorway.

"I'm and Avenger. I protect people. Unlike you." He said puffing out his chest.

"Oh please," Annabeth said standing from being slouched against the wall. "You and those self-righteous Avengers stuck up in you high and mighty tower. You don't know a thing about us so you just assume we're the bad guys. Well guess what?" Said pulling out a tranquilizer gun from her bag "You're wrong." And with that she fired a dart which Steve was too surprised to dodge. He collapsed to the floor.

"Thanks Wise Girl. But couldn't you have done that earlier?"

"Shut it Seaweed Brain." Annabeth responded. My mom huffed and began cleaning up the wrecked living room.

"Sorry" I said apologetically.

"It's alright. I guess I should be used to this sort of thing by now."

"What are going to do with him?" I asked gesturing at Steve. Annabeth grabbed a piece of paper scrawling something down before tapping on a few drachmas and pinning it to Steve's shirt. I glanced at the note.

Avenger's Tower

Main Room

There was the sound of a cash register and Steve disappeared along with his shield which had been imbedded in the wall. All that was left was a receipt thanking us for using Hermes Airways-the fastest way to deliver.

"Well then" I said "now what?"

"Now we call the rest of the group and see if I can hack into the Avenger's tower to find out what their next plan is."

***********a line break*****************sneaking in trying to steal the glory****************from the most fabulously*****************mentioned line break mentioned above*************

The Avengers had been eating dinner wondering when Steve would come back with the suspect when a man fell from the ceiling right into the mashed potatoes. He appeared to be wearing the American flag.

Sooooooooooo, you know when I said the chapters would be short? Well apparently I lied. I had no idea they were going to get this long (if you consider this long it is longer than I was originally expecting) I don't know how long the rest of the chapters will be but they will probably vary in length depending on how much inspiration I have for a particular scene.

Well there you go, hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Till next time mortals.
