Chapter 7
When I resurfaced he was done with his rant and I sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't hear your annoying talk about money and respect" I said and he growled, and I growled back fiercer and he fell back surprised and I smirked "Alpha wolf habits" I said and got out of the water willing my clothes to dry and purifying the water of any dirt and grime that I had gathered during my stay in the forest and ocean.
"Wait what" Thor had come in as Tony got up and asked that in shock, and I went into the main room and noticed that I had only been in the water for about five minutes but all of my energy was back and I didn't feel tired or sore at all.
"I am a werewolf" I said as I stepped into the other room and everyone looked at me and yelled 'WHAT?!' in surprise as they stepped back a little. I let my glamour ripple and this also surprised Thor, and he lent against the wall his eyes shown with interest. I stood there for a second and Peter came forwards and spoke.
"Well are you going to show us what you look like, or not?" he demanded and I shrugged.
"I don't know" I said you barely could bear my friend coming out of the shadows, at the mention there was a big splash as Mrs. O' Leary dived into the pool with her tong hanging out freely as she swam in it happily staining the entire pool black with dirt as she washed herself. I laughed and turned to the others "well do you think you can handle it because if you can't then this is going to be one heck of a scare" I said and let go of my glamour and Clint, Peter, and Tony fell over with shock, Steve and Natasha just stood up abruptly staring in shock, and Thor showed no movement, but he was also surprised.
I grinned and my silver teeth glinted in the sunlight as did my claws and pupils, and I looked behind me and frowned as I saw everyone staring behind me. I had a tail now.
"That wasn't there before" I said under my breath and then I was thrown forwards from behind as Mrs. O' Leary tackled me.
Can you hear me, can you hear me she said as she stood on me grinning while her tail wagged wildly and I winced.
"Yeah I can hear you girl" I said and put my glamour on and then took it off and I could her her voice again ...was starting to think that I was going crazy was all I heard and I pet her head.
"You're not going crazy, I apparently can't hear you when my glamour is on" I said and I took out Riptide, searched for the bonds of the glamour, and changed it to make it so that I could hear Mrs. O' Leary and other things while keeping up my cover.
Huh, well you can hear me now, and that's all that matters she said and I agreed
"I've changed the glamour so that I can hear you at all times, k" she yipped with excitement and I inwardly groaned, this was going to be a long immortality. I walked over to the couch with Mrs. O' Leary on my tail, literally, she nipped at it as she walked and I pulled it in making her whine in disappointment. I sat down and she lay in-front of me, her head rising just above the couch level, and I sighed and let my tail down and she immediately attacked it like a cat. Except cats don't nibble and slobber all over something as they played with it, unless they were influenced by dog behavior that is.
"How about you all stop staring at me and tell me what I have to do to join you little group" I said and they seemed to come out of their shock and Steve, or Captain America, came forwards.
"You just have to agree to join, you'll be assessed for you injuries and mental capabilities, and then we'll assess your powers and see what you can do" he said and I shrugged, not happy about the health part, but I guess it couldn't be avoided. I got up and took a step when I heard a whine and I realized that Mrs. O' Leary had been knawing on my tail for the entire time that I was sitting there thinking about what I was going to now that I was apart of the Avengers' group, and I looked behind me and picked up my tail with disgust. It was soaked to the bone, the fur was matted together and covered in Hell-hound slopper. I glared at her and she just wagged her tail and smiled at me with her tong out.
"Really" I said and the others snickered, and I glared at them as well making them stop and look at the floor, and I looked back at Mrs. O' Leary "you couldn't at least try to stop"
Nope, your tail tastes soooo goood she exclaimed and I sighed before using my powers to take out the slobber from my tail and re-drying my tail making it fluffy again and Mrs. O' Leary yipped and tackled me trying to ruin my tail again, and I had temporarily lost focus on my powers and the water-slobber mix came down all over us both and I growled in annoyance and fell through the shadows before reappearing three feet away, and I again dried myself off and evaporated the water, and Mrs. O' Leary whined with disappointment.
"No I am not going to let you knaw on my tail anymore for today" I should've just left it as period, but it was too late as she yipped with excitement and jumped into a shadow, going who knows where. I looked at everyone to see them on their hands and knees laughing their butts off, and I growled loudly, but they didn't stop, so I opened a shadow under all of them and then had them reappear from the ceiling, and they stood on their feet stiff and pale.
"Stop laughing at me" I growled and I put my armor on and vapor-traveled to a place where I could blow off some steam, and surprisingly they had a training gym because my senses had directed me there. I pushed a button the side of the shooting range and decided to test out my guns. I took out my two modern pistols, took aim, and demolished every shooting target there. Even though they were metal the bullets tore through them and into the wall behind and after ten minutes of this, eventually shooting them off of their suspending poles. I jumped over the counter and went to investigate.
I got up to the target and saw that it was covered with ice. I shot at a random direction, and tried to focus on the bullet, but it was going too fast for even me to see it. I went over to the destroyed wall behind the targets and saw that each of the bullets were made of the same vibrating metal as my shield was. I tried to get the clip out from the gun, and as I tried to get it out it clicked unsatisfactorily and nothing came out. I looked on the gun to see if I could eject a bullet somehow and study it, or take it to be studied, and I found none, so I based it off of what I've seen. I pulled back the barrel and a metal bullet fell out and into my hand, and I squeezed around it and jumped through a shadow and into a sort of research room. I went over to a computer and hacked it, yes I was smart. I got through easily and found that the counuter was state-of-the-art advanced tech for government, I smiled at my luck...Perfect.
I looked up the recently discovered metals that had been uncovered and found out that some person that had died recently had been an experiment in some sort of metal-human bonding test, and he could make three claws extend from the middle of each of his knuckles. I looked at the type of metal that he had been infused with and found something called Adamantium. I pulled out my shield and studied if it was similar or not, and I found that it was, and it was also infused with two other things, Silver I could feel that from my powers, and the vibrating metal that my bullets were made of. I looked through the files and found another fact, this time about Steve's Shield.
It was made of a metal called Vibranium and I smiled, interesting name for a metal, but I found out that it absorbed and discharged kinetic energy in the form of either a kinetic blast, or extreme heat, so that's why my bullets tore through the metal, but it also said that it dissolved any other metal that came in contact with it when it was in liquid form. I shadow-traveled to where I saw the lab, and I put a cupful of my bullets into a ceramic pan, since I didn't want the pan to dissolve on accident, and I put it in the oven at six-hundred degrees Fahrenheit. I decided to just take out Riptide since it was the only source of Celestial Bronze that I could find, and since I didn't want to go out and look for any more.
I uncapped Riptide and looked into the oven before sighing and putting Riptide on the counter, and pulling up a chair as I waited. It took an hour for the stuff to melt, and once it was fully liquidated, I took it out from the oven, put it on the counter, and then put Riptide's point in it. I watched it for a couple minutes before deciding that I could take a little nap while I waited for something to happen.
When I woke up again, Riptide wasn't there anymore, I looked around and saw that I had fallen asleep for an hour, and I looked around for Riptide and I looked under pretty much everything. Whether it was using my powers or not, and it wasn't anywhere. I cursed and sagged back to the counter to see that there was a bronze-like metal in the pan now. I realized what had happened, the vibranium had absorbed my sword, and absorbed it's properties as well. I put my hand on the pan and it was solid.
"Sh**" I quickly threw the metal back into the oven and watched it with anticipation for the next hour as it melted again. I realized that everyone had gone to bed. I quickly took the pan out from the oven and shadow-traveled to the training area to see that it hadn't been cleaned up yet, or they saw it and either didn't care, or didn't want to clean it up at the moment. I quickly formed an anvil of ice with a shadow top, and I made a mold of my sword with ice and the inside being of shadow so that the ice wouldn't deform the blade when it cracked. I spent the entire night forming, hammering, re-heating, and sharpening my swords. I had to make two since the excess bullets and the Celestial Bronze from Riptide had somehow created more of the combined metals and once I was done with one I worked on the other. I ripped it from it's mold, made it the same length, size, and sharpness as it's twin and then I looked at the time. It was nearing five in the morning, I had spent ten hours doing this, five a sword, and I pulled them both out and held them in my hands. They were Perfect, and I Decided to name them Tempest, after who I was, and Aurora, meaning light...the light of redemption.
I whirled them around for a second before taking out Riptide's cap and dropping it in a shadow to keep there as a sort of place to keep all of my things. It didn't come out, and I closed the shadow, melted all of the things that I used, dispersed the water into the air as water vapor, and let the shadows return to normal. They slunk back to where they originally were apart of, and I needed a way to keep my swords hidden. I called to Apollo and he flashed down almost immediately.
"Miss me" he said casting his brilliant smile that would blind most mortals, but I'm not mortal anymore, so I wasn't affected by it.
"No, actually I called you down here for a favor" I said and he nodded.
"Ask away, but know that I'm going to want something from you as well" he said and I growled in slight annoyance, but I expected this to happen.
"What" I asked and he got a ball of yellow light ready at use "oh that, really?" I looked at him incredulously.
"Yeah, what else could I possible want from you, and other than the fact that you've been tainted with the werewolf gene as I can see" I looked down and shrugged as I realized that I didn't put my glamour back up before he flashed in, but I didn't care because it was what I was now and there was no changing that.
"Fine, but I--" I growled in surprise and slight pain as he punched the ball of light into my chest and I felt a new connection to fire, and light. I smiled "punk" I said after the process was done
"Oh you liked it, I could tell by the way you smiled after the process was done, but otherwise..." he trailed off as I brought out Tempest and Aurora and made them float in the air by using his powers over metal.
"I want you to make it so that they can turn into pens like Riptide did" I said and he grew curious.
"Where is Riptide" he asked and I rubbed the back of my neck with discomfort.
"I accidentally-purposefully did an experiment with alien metal to see what would happen if the two were mixed, but I didn't expect it to work. Anyways I molded them into identical swords of what Riptide used to look, feel, and move like. As well as it's length, size, and their a little sharper than Riptide was, and more powerful due to the alien metal, but they'll work all the same" I said and he nodded in understanding, still slightly curious but not challenging, and then he muttered a couple incantations and the swords turned into silver and gold ballpoint pens. I grabbed them and clicked the button at the top and they turned into my beloved swords.
"Like Riptide they'll also return to your pocket within a couple seconds of not being in your touch and they can write by twisting the head of the pen, and they'll turn back into pens if you press the small yellow circle on the guard of them both" I did as he said and they turned back into pens and I put the Aurora in my right pocket and twisted the cap of he silver one to reveal the point of a ball-point pen for writing.
"Thanks" I said and looked up, but he was already gone, and they place was perfect and clean. I put the Tempest in my left pocket, and then turned to go and make a mortal breakfast. I got to the kitchen and saw Steve up and already working on making his breakfast. I was surprised, I mean I did read that he was a supersoldier, but I didn't know he actually woke-up like one as well.
"Oh hi Percy" he said looking up from the pancakes that he was making, and I went over and went into the cabinet before putting blue dye in them, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Good morning Steve, trust me they taste better when their blue" I said and put the dye away and he poured a small pancake on the pan, flipped it, and then picked it up, took a bit and muttered an agreement under his breath.
"Why" he finally asked and I shrugged
"Don't know, they just do" I said and he ate the rest of the pancake and started to make bigger ones with the now blue batter.
"What are you doing up this early" he asked while he flipped and I sat on the couch
"I was in the training area making two new swords from new materials that I had found" I said "you know how I wanted your shield when we first fought" I materialized it in-front of him and shadow-traveled over while he picked it from the air and studied it while I took over making the pancakes.
"Well I got one, but better" I said and he was still looking it over with interest, and I grinned "cool huh"
"Yeah" he said finally looking up and giving the shield back to me, and I took it and materialized it to...somewhere.
"Where'd you get the materials to make it" he asked and I shrugged
"I can make the metal with my powers, so after our first fight I made a shield out of the metal, my own indigenous metals from my parentage, and silver" I said and the pancakes were all cooked and done now, so I just grabbed three, motioned for him to grab some, and he grabbed three as well, and then I packed up the rest for the others, put it in the fridge, and grabbed the syrup from the cabinet. Then I went back over to the couch, sat down next to him, put my plate and the syrup on the couch, and turned on the TV before turning it to a Tom Cruise movie.
I smiled, Tom Cruise was also a demigod of Ares, but most people didn't notice his build because of one, the mist, and two, the fact that he actually only had that much muscle but the mist limited what he could actually lift to what the mortals could believe. I wanted to meet him one of these days, while he was still alive, and since I was an immortal I could literally only watch as others grew old and died in-front of me. We watched the TV for the rest of the movie and then Steve got up suddenly after he looked at his watch, and he headed for the kitchen in a hurry. I stood up and went over as well taking care of my stuff and looking at him with interest.
"What's the hurry" I asked
"I need to go for my daily run before everyone gets up" he said and I smiled and decided that a little run couldn't possibly hurt, and so I followed him to the elevator.
"I'm coming with you, and I'll be waiting in the lobby" I said before falling back into a shadow and rising from the ground and onto my feet, mortals would've just seen it as me having been in their blind-spot and wouldn't have noticed anything strange besides me laying on the floor and them not noticing maybe. I went over to a bench overseeing the elevator and I sat in a chair while I waited for Steve's elevator to get to the ground floor.
Thanks for reading and I'll try to get another chapter out soon.
