After lunch Percy and Annabeth started to actively plan out where they wanted to go, and even though Annabeth asked Mr. Chase if he wanted to go with them he declined saying "I don't want to intrude" and while Annabeth thought it was sweet she was still a little frustrated for not wanting to do something for himself every once in a while. 

Annabeth made an entire list of things that she wanted to do for the day, and how long she wanted to wait till she was ready to be turned:

11:30 Teleport to Miami, Florida and spend three hours shopping and swimming
15:00 Teleport to St. Luis arch and see how the repairs are going, 
17:00 Teleport to Central Park in New York to look around for the rest of the day.

She had something similar to this planned out for the rest of the month and when that was done she had marked the first of Aug as the night she wanted to be turned...after visiting a lot of Parks, Bridges, and Piers. 

Percy looked at the list of things that she wanted to do for the rest of the month with surprise, and then he looked back at her and cocked his head. 

"You know that monsters are more than likely going to get in the way of many of these plans, and not to mention whatever is up with New York and those mortal 'hero' people right?" He said and she nodded. 

"Those mortal "hero's" are actually called 'The Avengers' and while we've saved the planet they have saved many different parts of the world, and what they do isn't actually that different than what we do. They're just not able to do it as effectively." She turned her head as Percy smirked.

"You just called them weak" Percy grinned now and her scowl only deepened. "Okay, onto the first of our adventures together."

------------------------------------------

"Tony open the door." A young woman pounded on the metal door to a robotics lab with a pen in one fist and one clipboard full of papers in the other. "Anthony Edward.." the door opened suddenly revealing Tony Stark standing there in welding make up with the blow-torch still in hand. In the background Bruce and Steve looked at the door with raised eyebrows and amused expressions. 

"Pepper what are you doing here?" He asked and she just raised an eye-brow at him and he looked down at the watch he had attached to his wrist before sighing. "I'll go get ready" was all he needed to say before Mrs. Stark turned on her heel with a knowing smirk and walked back the way she'd come. 

"I did warn you Mr. Stark" FRIDAY started up on the intercom and Tony just huffed. He heard, he just didn't want to leave what he was doing to go to some stupid board meeting about the potential expansion of technology into the St. Luis' Arch to potentially make the historical monument into a giant dome shield generator for a city-wide area, and then potentially expanding on that area to later uses. 

"We also warned you about this happening," Steve said, "several times actually."

"Shut up" Tony said under his breath, going over to the capsules and stepping in one of them to come out a few moments later in his metal suit, with a business suit underneath that. He moved over to the outside launching platform and stopped. Looking back he pointed at the table with the machines and then to the both of them, "Don't screw anything up while I'm gone." 

Then he was gone, shooting up through the air before circling around to the front of the building and disengaging his suit into it compact form to step into a limousine and an annoyed Mrs. Stark sitting opposite of him. 

"You know we need this to go over smoothly" she said and he just looked at her with his usual "I don't really care" look. "Honey, I will punch you if you don't tell me something."

"I got distracted by something is all." Tony said looking down at his watch and leaning over to push the drivers communication button, but Pepper shifted and grabbed his hand. 

"And do you mind telling me what this new thing was to make it so important" she said and her tone suggested that it was not a question but a demand, "and why you almost made me pull out my suit just to drag your ass down here?" 

"No not really" he said and she twisted his arm in a direction is should not be going, "Okay, okay I'll tell you. Would you stop trying to tear off my arm and burn out my eyes?" His arm was released but the lasers coming from her eyes did not cool. 

"I was working on a new prototype that could help us fight powered individuals, like the one we ran into a few weeks ago." He said rubbing his arm like that would help, and she turned more curious than angry now that he was being truthful with her. 

"You mean that one Wanda let get away on the Empire State Building?" Pepper said and Tony cringed. 

"I wouldn't recommend saying anything like that near her," he said, "Fury was all over her about it saying that he should've made her and Natasha work together than split up like that." 

"I was watching the live footage the entire time, and I certainly think that she could've done more than she did." Pepper said and Tony sighed, "I am certain you watched it too. There was nothing that kid could've done in that situation, he just walked right on through the elevator and she let him." Tony stopped fidgeting and looked at Pepper curiously. 

"That is not what happened," he said and she looked confused now, "I don't know what that kid was but he was on a whole other level. Wanda likely realized this herself and tried to get him to come in peacefully without having to destroy anything, but that kid, mutant or not, was trained and he was trained well." 

"What do you mean?" Pepper didn't understand. She had seen the kid just walk right past Wanda after they talked for a moment and then he walked up to her, she froze up, and he walked right past her to the elevator. She didn't move until after it had closed and she had made no motion to chase him either. 

"I think some other force is able to make people see something that isn't happening, or they're able to cover up something to make it look like another thing entirely, like causing people to see scenes or events that are something entirely different than a select few." He said, "We haven't been able to figure out what it is nor how to combat such a force, but that is not what happened at all." 

"What happened was that Wanda called in that the target had been found and that she was going to engage, but Cap said to try and reason with them first so she did, and by that time I was close enough to see what was happening through my camera, but even I don't know how to explain everything." Tony was silent in thought for a moment, "the kid had manacles and chains on his wrists and feet, he had a tail, a wolf-like tail that seemed to be silver, I couldn't make out anything else as the rest was a bit of a haze, but I do know that the kid was able to use and extend the chains like whips and he is able to teleport. Which is how he got away in the first place." 

"I saw two people there though," Pepper said and Tony looked at her confused now, "there was a blond-haired girl walking hand in hand with him. She left before he was confronted by Wanda, but I know that he wasn't alone the entire time." 

"That's what Wanda said too," Tony glared out the side of the window as their area came into view, "we'll have to talk about this another time." He sighed and they both waited silently as the car stopped and they were let out. 

Back at the tower Steve and Bruce were looking at the set of knives that Wanda had come back with, she said not to touch them and after seeing her burn they were inclined to agree. But Bruce, being the scientist her is, was looking at them curiously and wondering how they worked. Steve was there, with his shield, just in case anything happened and he needed to stall or call for back up. 

Ever since coming down to the testing area Bruce had tried everything he could think of to get a reaction out of the metal: from acid to explosives nothing was working and he was starting to get annoyed. He looked around for other things that might do anything to the metal and he saw no...wait Steve had the Shield. That was Vibranium, a supposed energy metal that was capable of producing sonic waves and blasts of energy. 

"Hey Cap, can you hit one of them with the shield?" Bruce asked and Steve looked at him confused but came over nonetheless as Bruce moved one of the knives to a secure area away from everything. 

"Do you want me to hit it somewhere specific?" Steve asked and Bruce nodded, pointing to the center of the knife where the metal was the thickest. 

"I want to see what happens if you hit it two different ways: once with the edge of the shield, and once with the center of the shield if that's fine with you." Bruce said moving to the side behind a blast window area, "I just need it to produce sparks or even flake off some of the metal so that I can study what it's made of." 

"Okay." Steve hopped up on top of the table and aimed the edge of his shield at the blade. Then he raised his arm back and punched forwards with most of his strength. 

The result was a kinetic explosion that forced Steve up and into the ceiling before coming crashing back down onto the edge of the table, where the knife was shot up like a spring and the arc took it in the direction of Bruce. Where the knife embedded itself next to the man's face with an inch to spare. It had gone straight through the blast proof glass like it was nothing and should Bruce still have been standing it would've gone straight through his shoulder as well. 

The blade was glowing as it sunk a few more inches into the concrete before Bruce realized everything that had happened. He immediately got up and went over to where Steve was to check on him. Steve groaned before sitting up slowly and bracing himself with his shield. The edge that had struck the knife was a little dented and scorched black. 

"Ow" Steve said as he rubbed his neck and head. The shield had taken most of the shock, but it had still hit his body hard. Hitting the ceiling and falling onto the metal table did not help either, and he was saying some pretty uncharacteristic words for him inside. 

"I'm sorry Cap." Bruce said helping the man up, "I didn't think anything like that would happen."

"Lets use one of the robots for the second test" Steve said sitting in a chair outside of the room to rest while Bruce watched dejectedly. He quickly snapped himself out of it before going to grab several instruments and tools to measure the heat output, get some samples, and hope there was something he could use to test the molecular properties of the metal so that the second test was not needed. 

Sadly even after that the blade still had not given him anything useful, so Bruce set it up for the second test and asked if he could use Cap's shield again for it. 

"Doesn't Stark have plenty of other vibranium things he could use, maybe something you could test better than my shield?" Steven asked and Bruce thought for a second before moving to the side and grabbing a small block of Vibranium metal and setting it up for a downward strike using a flat side. The result was pretty much the same, if only stronger than before, and still the blade had not given Bruce anything useful. He roared in frustration and grabbed it before slamming it blade first down into the block set off to the side. 

A large flash and the blade sparked as the face of the Vibranium block redirected the metal into the table and Bruce stood still for a moment wondering why his hand had not been burned before snapping out of it and getting the things he needed to do his texts. 

HIiiii
Thanks for reading, I know that I am being a bit inconsistant again but I am in college again!!
This time however instead of watching videos on my free time, or playing games, I am going to be writing as much as possible...even on weekends if I can. 

I hope you enjoyed it and if you would be willing to join the Patreon that I will b setting up soon. I still have to figure out it's kinks, but I am much closer than I was before so 1 and 3 dollar (per month) tiers should be up soon with maybe five chapters in advance for this story. 

I will be using it for other stories as well and a main story I will hopefully be working on fully soon. Don't know what to call it yet but it will appear on Scribblehub, and it will be more of a mature story so expect lots of warnings.
