Olympians and Avengers (Patreon)

Thunder boomed in the sky, rumbling through the marble floor beneath their feet. The gods in the room shifted and Zeus appeared in a flash of lightning, leaving the scent of ozone lingering through the throne room.

"Heroes," He boomed. "I have called you for Olympus needs your help."

"When does it not?" Percy rolled his eyes.

Lightning flitted in the hair of Zeus's beard and his knuckles whitened against his throne. "This is not a moment for levity, son of Poseidon. It is a grave matter, one that has broken multiple divine laws. The Norse gods have revealed themselves to mortals. And in a most grievous fashion."

Percy's mouth snapped shut.

"Forgive me, Lord Zeus but I thought the mist hides us from mortals. Is the mist no longer working?" Thalia tilted her tiara crowned head.

"The mist still hides the Greek world. But Asgardians? They are foreigners intruding upon Earth. They must be sent back to their planet, Asgard where they can watch the other realms as decreed by gods. Earth is beyond their jurisdiction and if they do not return, we would have to take this as a sign of war."

"A little extreme, wouldn't you say, brother?" Poseidon met Percy's eyes, raising a finger. "Had they been declaring war, it'd not be upon their youngest to do so."

Zeus growled, and waved his hand, mist rising and twisting in front of them to reveal a man clad in green and golden robes, a curved, silver spear held in his hand, pointed at the neck of an old man, as a crowd knelt at his feet.

"This just happened, Poseidon. Loki threatened a crowd of mortals and had their little hero, some mortal they enhanced not intervened, he would've killed them. Only four solstices ago, Odin's son, Thor fought in New Mexico and leveled a small town."

"Defending the town in the process." Poseidon pointed out.

"The Automaton he fought was Asgardian!" Zeus boomed. "On the request of their Queen, we didn't step in. But now they've gone too far! They must be stopped."

"And you want us to go in, I'm guessing," Percy sighed. "Can't you just smite him and say get out?"

"It would be declaring outright war with us as the preparators, silly boy," Athena snarked from her throne. "This is bigger than you can imagine. You think Gaea and Kronos were bad? Odin is a Sky father with the largest army at his call. His sons are no slouches. And his daughter was even worst."

"Of course."

"I wish for you three to go and give Loki a warning to return to Asgard immediately." Zeus said. "Or drag him to Olympus if you can. As soon as we find out where he is, the son of Hades should take you two to him where you can do what's needed."

Lightning flashed across the dark skies, thunder rumbling through the plane's walls. Tendrils of lightning flickered across the dark clouds as the plane wobbled.

“Where’s this coming from?” Natasha muttered, glancing at the clouds through the glass panels.

In the corner, Loki shifted in his seat, trepidation filling his eyes, and Steve frowned.

“What’s the matter?” Steve called. “Scared of a little lightning?”

Loki looked up to the ceiling and grimaced. “I am not overly fond of what follows.”

Steve and Tony shared a look, blue light flashing across their faces. A loud thud rang from the ceiling, and the plane shook. They moved quickly, putting on their helmets as Tony pressed a button, lowering the rear hatch.

“What are you doing?”

A man landed in front of them, his red cape fluttering behind, a hammer clutched in his hand. Tony raised his arm, only for the hammer to hit his chest, sending him sprawling on the plane’s floor.

The man grabbed Loki by the throat and spun his hammer, leaping off the plane as Tony got to his feet and Steve steadied himself.

“And now there’s that guy,” Tony murmured, striding forward.

“Another Asgardian?” Natasha asked over the rumble of thunder.

“That guy’s a friendly?”

Tony turned, peering at them through the glowing slits in his mask. “Doesn’t matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract is lost.”

“Stark, we need a plan of attack!”

“I have a plan.” Stark looked over his shoulder, the jets on his back popping up. “Attack.”

With that, he leaped off the plane after the man, disappearing in a blur of orange and red through the clouds.

Steve sighed, plucking a parachute from the side of the plane, and tying the belts around his waist.

“I’d sit this one out, Cap,” Natasha advised.

“I don’t see how I can.” He shook his head.

“These guys come from legend,” she said. “They are basically gods.”

Steve looked at her, tightening the last strap and picking up his shield. “There’s only one God, ma’am, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that.”

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

With a groan, Loki crashed against the hard ground, the wind howling in his ears. Thor’s blue eyes bore into him, the wind ruffling through his blonde hair, and a laugh slipped past Loki’s lips.

“Where’s the Tesseract?” Thor growled.

“I missed you too,” Loki chuckled.

“Do I look to be in a gaming mood?” Thor spun the hammer in his hand.

“You should thank me,” Loki raised his head, a smile playing on his lips. “With the Bifrost gone, how much dark energy did the All-Father have to muster to conjure you here? To your precious Earth?”

As he got to his feet, Thor dropped the hammer and grabbed his throat, forcing him to look into his eyes. “I thought you were dead.”

“Did you mourn?”

“We all did,” Thor breathed. “Our father—”

“Your father.” Loki raised a finger, shoving his hand away. “He did tell you of my true parentage, did he not?”

Loki clutched his back, walking away from Thor.

“We played together. We fought together,” Thor said. “Do you remember none of that?”

Loki whirled around. “I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I, who was, and should be, king!”

“So, you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights?” Thor spat. “No, the Earth is under my protection, Loki.”

“No, it is not,” a voice said, and both brothers spun around.

Three people stood in the moonlight—a girl in a silver parka and two boys, one wearing a blue hoodie and another in a dark jacket. The girl’s silver circlet gleamed as she stepped forward.

“Thor Odinson, Loki Odinson—”

“I am not the son of Odin!” Loki stepped past Thor, glaring at them. “Who do you think you are?”

“This guy’s got daddy issues,” Percy snorted. “Look, man, I get it. But you are intruding here. This is not where you are meant to be. Big guy up there is all pissed that you are here, and now he’d be more pissed that Superman’s too. Something about other pantheons not being allowed here. I wasn’t listening to the whole speech ‘cause it was long, boring, and didn’t I mention, long?”

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Thor looked up sharply. “Not mine.”

“Yeah, of course not.” A spear sprang into Thalia’s hands, lightning flickering on its tip. “You’re not the only god of lightning here. In fact, you are the only one who is not allowed here.”

“Olympians,” Thor said gravely.

“We will ask you once.” Nico stepped out of the shadows from behind Thor, and he jumped, his cape swishing through the wind. “Go back to where you came from, or we’ll have to fight you and drag you to Olympus. And believe me, this will not be our first-time fighting gods. Or, in someone’s case, even killing them.”

“Do the giants really count as gods?” Percy asked. “I mean, they could—”

“Percy, not the point, right now,” Thalia groaned. “These two need to get back to Asgard now. Or we have to take them to my dad.”

“Oh, yeah. Guys, seriously, Zeus’ got his panties in a twist, and if you don’t leave, he may do something really… err… drastic. Like, you know, an inter-pantheon war or something.”

Thunder rumbled loudly in the sky.

“Look, noble heroes,” Loki said with a slight smile. “You have no business here, neither do the Olympians. This is between us and something beyond what you can fathom.”

“Isn’t he the bad guy here? I am pretty sure I saw his name on the news before I got called.” Percy’s forehead creased as he jabbed his thumb at Loki. “I’m not really up to date on Norse here, but I’m pretty sure he’s always the bad guy. Annabeth would know more than me, but I’ve picked up on some stuff.”

“She would,” Thalia agreed. “But we gotta wing it. Both of them are the bad guys right now, and breaking some rules by just being here, and that’s not counting whatever bad Loki did.”

“Excuse me,” Loki smiled at them. “I am just burdened with a glorious purpose. I have been a little mischievous in the past, but I am not the one who is the perpetrator of crimes here. I am here to free—”

“Sounds like a classic villain thing,” Percy put a finger to his lips. “I bet you’ve got a monologue and everything too.”

“I’ll ask you for one last time,” Nico’s voice whispered in Thor’s ear, and he flinched. “Leave with your brother.”

The hammer jumped into Thor’s hand, and they tensed, Percy’s hand going to his pocket. “Hear me, heroes of Olympus. I—”

A blur of red crashed into him, snatching him away into the night.

“What the Hades?”

“Hey!” Nico protested.

“Stay here with Loki, Neeks. We’ll go get the other one.” Thalia stormed away, Percy running behind her.

“And don’t listen to anything Loki says!” Percy yelled.

On the ground below, a gleaming red and gold suit of metal stood in front of Thor, the god growling at him.

“Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?” A voice rang as Thalia and Percy slid down the hill, onto the flat of the valley.

“This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice.”

“That’s Tony Stark—Iron Man,” Percy whispered. “Leo’s a big fan. He's a superhero.”

“He gives up the cube, he’s all yours,” Tony said. “Until then, stay out of my way.”

“I am afraid we cannot do that, Mr. Iron Man,” Percy cleared his throat, and Tony turned, his visor going down, the blue slits glowing. “If they don’t leave now, it’ll turn into a big, bad war between gods.”

“Err, who are you and the princess? More Asgardians?”

Thalia growled.

“I’m Percy. This is Thalia. We are here to ask Thor and Loki to leave and go back to Asgard.”

“I’m sorry, but on whose authority are you even speaking?”

“The authority of Olympus, boy,” Thalia banged her spear, and Percy felt the hair on his hand stand up as thunder rumbled in the sky. “Stay out of our way. Asgardian, last warning for you too. Take Loki and yourself back.”

“Yeah, sorry, no can do.” Tony raised his repulsor, only for Mjolnir to slam into him, throwing him away.

Thalia ducked under the hammer and charged forward, her spear crackling with electricity.

“Thalia!” Percy warned as Tony flew forward, bowling through the trees with her.

The hammer whizzed past Percy’s ear, back into Thor’s hand, and the god charged, the hammer crackling with electricity. Riptide elongated into Percy’s hand, and he blocked the hammer, a tremor shaking the ground.

With a grunt, Percy pushed him back and slashed his sword, the bronze blade bouncing off the head of the hammer.

“You cannot win, Olympian.” Thor avoided Percy’s sword, slipping past his guard and shoving him back with his shoulder. “You’ll—”

The winds picked up around Percy, and he lunged.

On the other side of the field, Thalia stood up, her circlet lost in the undergrowth, as she wiped a drop of blood from her lips.

“Look, Princess—”

A bolt of lightning dropped from the sky onto Tony, pushing him to his knees, the lights on his suit blinking red.

“Power at three hundred percent, sir,” Jarvis informed.

Thalia pounced, Aegis spiraling onto her arm as Tony raised his head, his heart twisting before the shield slammed into his face.

Lightning ran down her arms, onto the tip of her spear as she thrust it at Tony, only for his jets to fire up, pushing him away. A beam of light hit her shield, her arm trembling as she skidded back, the celestial bronze warming in her hand.

She spun, the beam humming past her, blasting through trees. She looked at Tony, raising her spear that crackled with electricity, only to pause as Percy was thrown onto him, sending them both sprawling.

Thor appeared through the trees, a line of gold bleeding down his arms, Mjolnir clutched in his hand.

Rage swept Thalia, and a bolt of lightning punched into the god of thunder, sending him soaring through the air. The hammer flew at her, ringing against Aegis with a loud gong and bouncing back as Percy got to his feet.

“No, you stay down,” Percy blocked a jab from Tony, catching his arm and pressing the metal, sparks falling from the gauntlets.

“How are you crushing titanium with your bare hands?” Tony muttered, the repulsor flaring.

Percy pulled his hand away, the beam crashing into Thor’s hammer, sending it off course before the god could take it. Tony reared his head, the metal banging against Percy’s forehead, sending him stumbling into Thor’s path.

He ducked under a wild jab from the god of thunder, shoving him away, ducking under the Mjolnir as it flew over his head.

Behind him, Thalia’s shield rang against the Iron Man suit, the beams of his repulsors flaring against Medusa’s face.

Percy uncapped his pen, Riptide springing into his hand as Thor's hammer whirred back into his hand, and he launched himself at Percy with a roar. Percy sidestepped the attack, his sword meeting the hammer in a shower of electricity and fire that rained down on the ground below.

Percy ducked under a wide swing from Thor's hammer, his sword slashing across Thor's side. Thor grunted before bringing the hammer down with a thunderous crash that sent Percy sprawling.

"You fight well, Olympian," Thor admitted, his voice a rumble of approval. "But you cannot win. I aim to take Loki to Asgard to face justice."

“That’s what we want too!” Percy threw his hands up. “You both to get the hell out of here. Zeus doesn’t like you all coming down here and he already tolerated New Mexico on Odin’s urging… whatever that means.”

“We cannot let Loki go just like that,” Tony hissed, catching Thalia’s spear, tendrils of electricity running down the red gauntlets. “He has the Tesseract and we need it back. Once we have it, goldilocks can take Reindeer games and you can take him to wherever you want.”

“Have hold on your words, metal man. Loki—”

“HEY!” A voice thundered, a shield crashing against Thalia, bouncing off Tony’s suit and soaring over Percy’s head to hit Thor in the chest, bouncing back into the hand of a new arrival. “That’s enough.”

“Fuck me, that’s Captain America,” Thalia whispered from the ground. “He’s alive?”

Captain leaped down onto the ground and looked at Percy and Thalia. “Who are the kids?”

“Yeah, you, like many, do not know that he spent time as a capsicle for the last seventy years and now he got out from it alive and unaged.” Tony said.

“I don’t know what you plan on doing here—”

“I have come to put an end to Loki’s schemes,” Thor rumbled.

“And we want both of them gone from here. The other gods are not happy.” Percy added. “Hey, Cap, big fan.”

Steve shifted on his feet, glancing at Thalia, who shuffled to her feet. “Who are you two?”

“They are our heroes. They represent us.” A flash of silver light flooded the clearing and Artemis appeared, her hands behind her back. 

Thor stood straighter and so did Steve. 

“Lady Artemis.” Thalia knelt while Percy gave her a nod. 

“Heroes, Olympus… calls you back,” She glanced at the rest of the men. “Thalia, Perseus return to the camp. We have been… forced to reconsider our stance on this with what’s in play.”

“Look, Lady—” Tony’s voice gurgled out as Artemis glared at him. 

“Thor Odinson.” Artemis turned to the god of thunder. “I bear you a message from the fates. Loki’s schemes are something from beyond the realms of gods. Beyond the worst adversities you’ve faced.”

“Ma’am, what do you mean?” Steve stepped forward. 

“Steven Rogers, it means you are in trouble, and it all stems back from the time you fought in the great mortal war.” Artemis said. “But it is not mine to care for. The fight is now yours to fight and Odinson shall be allowed to be… the representative of gods in the fight to protect Earth.”

“Artemis, shouldn’t we be with them too?” Percy frowned. 

“You can’t. This is not our fight. And neither will these mortal heroes remember you.” She looked at Thor. “Odinson, Lord Zeus will be watching you. He doesn’t like what you come bearing but has opted to let you protect Earth as its foremost protector alongside these mortal Heroes. Farewell.”

A silver light washed through the Valley and the Greeks disappeared, leaving Steve and Tony none the wiser.

“Are we done here?”

AND… DONE! I hope you all liked the story! 

A huge thanks to Mughil, Nanu and ShadowCheck for betaing this story. 

I wrote this piece as a quick little thing between writing RoLP's next chapter, and Black Dawn. It was a spur of the moment write and I basically penned it down in an hour or so and was done with it. In fact, I just added the first scene right now before I was about to publish. I am a little busy planning bigger things out and writing the main stories.

There are three chapters in progress, one of RoLP, one of LoSP, and one of Black Dawn, each already over 3k words right now. I was writing LoSP where I'm about to get to the Perses fight which will be fun. Black Dawn, I am two-third ways through the second chapter and you guys are going to absolutely love it. 

Hopefully, I'll be capable of completing everything in time for the new tiers launch as I've planned. Once they go up, it'd be a lot easier for many to get what they want, including extra content.

.

TIER PLAN FOR THOSE INTERESTED: 

My main plan is to give those here for PJO and GotSIS exclusively a reprieve from paying for the other content that they are not interested in. Like many PJO fans haven't even read Harry Potter but are here for LoSP (There are a fair few as I've noted). And I do not want them to pay unnecessarily for content they don't want. 

And with all of that, since I'll have to generate new chapters for the exclusive story tiers, I also decided to create a successor to Mystic Seeker. That way, everyone gets something.

The tiers in plan are: GotSIS Enthusiast, LoSP Lover, and Galactic Voyager.

(Names are VERY MUCH subject to change. But the idea remains same.) 

Each of these tiers will be very value for money. I do not plan on crossing ten dollars anyway when it comes to the cost, keeping it affordable for all.

Obviously it goes without saying that Mystic Seeker and Explorer of Realms tiers will not be left behind. In fact, Mystic Seeker patrons will get one more chapter with launch of Black Dawn as per my plan. So, most of you will be SIX CHAPTERS ahead of FFN and AO3 soon.  

[And if you upgrade to Galactic Voyager when it goes live, the number will double if not more alongside other perks.] 

I will also inform everyone in advance as to when I'll do the creation, so no one panics or jumps to wrong conclusions. It would take me some time to officially have everything up and running with new chapters being launched and the other stuff. 

Feel free to ask me anything in comments or DM or discord. My door's always open for you. (Though do avoid the patreon chat as there's no notification, leading me to miss stuff. Prefer DMs/ comments/ discord. It notifies me so I can respond.)

Wish me luck, guys!

Stay Happy! Stay Safe! Keep Smiling! Keep Reading!
