The Adventures of the Parker Boys (And How They Became Avengers)

XXXV

Percy looks up as his phone rings. He glances at the caller ID and immediately picks it up after seeing who it is. "Hey Tony, any good news?"

"We did it," Tony says a grin evident in his voice, "I think we've got a way to go back."

Percy grins, "That's amazing. I can't believe this might work."

"Yeah yeah, save your thanks for when this is over," Tony replies, "It should take three days to build, and we're going to try to gather everyone by then so we can start making a plan. Bruce already went to get Thor, Nat is getting Clint, and everyone else knows when to be here."

"I'll gather my people, and meet you there in three days," Percy says, "Then we can plan exactly when and where we're going."

"Copy that, see you in three days," Tony says before hanging up.

Percy puts down the phone and creates a rainbow and throws two drachmas in it, "Oh Fleecy do me a solid, show me Carter Kane at the 21st Nome and Magnus Chase at Hotel Valhalla." The rainbow shimmers and splits showing the two people.

"Percy!" Carter says spotting him, "What's going on?"

"We can do it!" Percy exclaims grinning, "Tony figured it out."

The two stare at him in shock, "He actually invented time travel?" Magnus says.

"Yeah, they are building the machine now and they've got to test it, but Tony says it should work," Percy explains, "And then we can get everyone back."

"Just like that?" Carter asks unconvinced.

"Well you know how things are for us. So, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be just like that. But we can do it!" Percy explains, "We're all meeting at the Compound in three days so gather everyone there. We'll finalize the plan with the whole team."

Magnus nods, "Okay, I'll let everyone know. Also where exactly is the Compound?"

"I'll send you the address," Percy replies, "Remember, three days."

"Three days, got it," Carter replies.

"You have my number if you have any other questions, otherwise I'll see you then," Percy says before swiping his hand through the mist, ending the call.

He walks down the hall to Annabeth's study and knocks on the door before opening it, "They did it."

"I heard, just got off the phone with Nat," Annabeth says grinning, "I can't believe this crazy plan might work."

"You and Nat call each other now?" Percy asks.

"Well, I had to stay involved somehow while you went missing for five years," Annabeth replies, "She's like the older sister I never had, well aside from Thalia that is."

"Glad you're getting along," Percy says sitting down across from her, "Now, you ready to get everyone back?"

Percy stands outside the compound and stares down the road, where were they? The test had been successful, Clint had gone back to before the snap and seen his family again. Now they were just waiting on everyone to arrive so the plan could be made.

"They're late," Nico says from beside him.

"Yes I'm aware," Percy replies.

Nico tilts his head as is listening for something, "Oh they brought him."

Before Percy can question what he means a swirling portal of sand opens and four people walk out. Percy recognized Sadie, Carter, and Zia but the fourth person he's never met.
