Chapter 3

My name is Perseus Jackson, and I am the son of Loki.

After the Manhattan war five years ago, I was adopted by the Avengers. They've become my family. Thor is my uncle, Natasha is the protective big sister, Clint is the fun older brother, Steve is like my dad, Tony is the crazy fun uncle, and Bruce is like the smart uncle that would help you with anything.

After I was adopted, they kept it a secret from all the press. And they put me in school.

I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York. Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that.

Things went down hill when our sixth- grade class took a field trip to Manhattan- twenty-eight mental-case kids and two teachers on a yellow school bus, heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to look at ancient Greek and Roman stuff. I know -it sounds like torture. Most Yancy field trips were. But Mr. Brunner, our Latin teacher, was leading this trip, so I had hopes. Mr. Brunner was this middle-aged guy in a motorized wheelchair. He had thinning hair and a scruffy beard and a frayed tweed jacket, which always smelled like coffee.

Then there was Mrs. Dodds.

She was this little math teacher from Georgia who always wore a black leather jacket, even though she was fifty years old. She looked mean enough to ride a Harley right into your locker. She had come halfway through the school year after our last math teacher had a nervous breakdown.

From the very beginning, she loved Nancy Bobofit, and figured I was a devil spawn. She would point her crooked finger at me and say, "Now, honey," real sweet,and I knew I was going to have after-school detention for a month.

One time, after she'd made me erase answers out of old workbooks until midnight, I told Grover I didn't think Mrs. Dodds was human. He looked at me real serious and said, "You're absolutely right."

~Everything is the same in the book until this part- Izzy~

We were on the bus on our way home. I replayed what happened this semester in my mind. Nancy ending up in the fountain when I didn't touch her. Mrs. Dodds turning into that bat thing. No one remembering her. And Grover and Mr. Brunner talking about me. Then, earlier, the bus broke down and across the street from where we were, there were three old ladies at a fruit stand knitting two very large blue socks. They cut the string with scissors and Grover was freaking out. And he's been mumbling about them the whole time.

Grover made me promise that he could walk me home from the bus station. I promised, but, he was freaking me out, so I ditches him as soon as I could. Then my secret would be out. I live with the Avengers.

Yeah, I forgot to mention. No one knows thar I live with them. Nit even Grover. Probably should have mentioned that.

Man, Steve is not going to be happy when he finds out about this. I don't even want to tell them what happened during the year. I can see their faces. Tony thinking it's awesome, Steve looking disappointed, Clint and Natasha with their poker faces, and Bruce would be amused.

I took a small cube out if my bag and layer it on the grouse in an alley. I pushed on it and it turned into a skateboard. Tony made it for me. When he found out that I was going to a boarding school, he made me this so that I could take it with me.

I went through New York and made it to Stark towers. I snuck in. I know, I could just walk in, but I like to try to sneak into the penthouse without them knowing. It's a thing with us.

I succsesfully made it up to the penthouse. I slowly grabbed the nurf gun, a ton of bullets, and a bag with some other things I had hidden in a pot during winter break. I slung the bag over my shoulder, and had all my bullets in my pockets and extras in the bag.

I crept up near the couch and launched a bullet. It hit Tony behind the head. I quickly darted behind another couch before he would notice me.

Tony jumped off the couch and looked around. I quickly shot another dart and hid in the air vent nearby. I saw Tony look around the chair. I crawled through the air vent and went to the lab.

I pulled some rubber balls out from the bag and quietly opened the air vent. Bruce still had no idea I was there. He was exactly underneath me.

I dropped the balls on his head and quickly closed the vent.

I know, it's not much of a prank, but it's funny watching him freak out then find out they're only balls then try to figure out where they came from.

I can't prank Natasha or Clint. They would notice me. And they probably aren't here yet. I don't have the guts to prank Steve. He's like my dad.

I crawl through the air vents and reach the Tv room. I opened a vent and shot more bullets at Tony. This time, as many as I could. When Ai ran out if bullets, Tony was glaring daggers at me. He isn't as scathe as Clint or Natasha, but he can be scary.

"Oh, so it was you, eh?" Tony said smirking. I grinned. "Well, this time, I'm prepared." He pulled out a nerd gun and shot me.

I laughed and crawled through the air vents. I went to my 'secret place', as I call it. It's this little room in my room where there are no cameras, and I made JARVIS promise not to tell anyone. I have several things in there, and some little Tvs where I have secret cameras hidden everywhere. The reason no one knows about it, is because I used my magic that I inherited from my dad and made it. I added all the other stuff too.

I looked for Tony. He was wandering around, apparently, he was looking for me.

"Percy! Come out! Where'd you go, you little trouble maker?" Tony called.

I giggled. This went on for a few minutes longer, before Steve walked into the penthouse.

"Tony, where's Percy?" Steve asked.

Tony, who was looking under a table, jumped and hit his head on the side.

He got up and looked at Steve. "No idea. The kid shot me with a nerd gun, then crawled away."

Steve sighed. "Percy! Come out here! I have a surprise for you!"

My eyes widened. I crawled through the little door that was on my wall and into my room. The walls were all blue, and have been, ever since I first moved here. My bed sheets are blue, and Ai have a blue lightbulb in my lamp. All the furniture is wooden, though.

I walked out of my room and into the living room. I saw Steve and Tony standing there waiting for me.

I went over and hugged Steve. "Hey Steve."

He ruffled my hair. "Hey, kid." He replied. "You've grown since Christmas."

Iet go and he looked me over. Then cracked a smile. "I have a surprise. Remember that old shack in Montauk thar you love?" I nodded. "We're staying there fir about a week."

I smiled. I thought it was going to be the best summer ever.

Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea that this was going to be the craziest summer ever.
