Percy nodded and headed down to the room. The weapon wall was already up. Percy walked straight the swords he tried a few testing it's balance before he finally settled on one, but like so many he'd tried before, it didn't feel right in his hands. The hilt was too heavy for his wrist. Percy walked into the center of the room, the wall of weapons dropping back into the floor behind him.
"Both of you seem to like swords." Black Widow stated. Jason just shrugged.
"Percy is a lot better than I am with swords." Jason stated, "but don't tell him I said that," he added more as an afterthought that caused some of them to crack a smile.
"Percy, I am starting you on level four," Tony said. Percy just nodded as four robots appeared. Without warning, Percy sliced off one of the robot's heads to start the fight. The second robot swung the sword in a wide arc. They expected Percy to just dodge as Jason had, but Percy ducked and slid between the robot's legs so he was behind it. He slashed, cutting off both the robots legs and getting to his feet. He blocked the third robot's attack effectively disarming it and slashing it across the chest. He wasted no time, spinning to cut the arm off the fourth robot that tried a sneak attack, and to end the fight Percy stabbed it in the chest for extra measure. The whole fight took less than a minute, which shocked the Avengers.
"Told you, Percy is probably the best sword fighter you will ever meet," Jason stated, filling the shocked silence, a smile on his face.
Tony told Percy that he was jumping up to level six. Percy nodded, and much to his and Jason's surprise, only one robot appeared with a sword. The robot attacked, forcing Percy to block, surprised. This one seemed more skilled and stronger. The surprise didn't last long as he pushed back and charged again, the robot matching Percy's moves and trying to disarm him. Percy ducked and swept the legs of the robot making it fall onto its back. Percy then stabbed the robot in the chest, ending the fight. Percy ran through one more level before coming back up to the control room, and much like Jason he didn't seem tired.
"Well, let's move on to hand-to-hand combat" Steve said. Peter's eyes were wide, and everyone was more than a little surprised at the skill, but they didn't say anything.
"Tony you are paired up with Bruce, Rhodey you're with Sam, Scott you're with Peter Bucky with Widow, Clint with Jason and Percy is with me." He paused. "Okay no powers or weapons, just hand to hand combat. Both Percy and Jason shared a look that didn't go unnoticed by Nat, Clint, or Steve.
Both teens watched, a little bored in the first fight Tony versus Bruce. Bruce won Tony looked like he was barely trying which Steve lectured him about. The next fight was a little more interesting as Rhodey and Sam were both ex-military. Sam won. Up next was Scott and Peter. Both Jason and Percy perked up as they were interested in seeing Peter fight. Peter won easily and honestly; they were a little disappointed they didn't get to see more.
"Peter I thought I said no powers." Steve sighed. Both Jason and Percy's eyes widened; they thought Steve only said the no powers thing because of them; they never thought that the Avengers had powers too, they thought they just had skill.
"I didn't use my powers; I am just that awesome." Peter smiled, showing off his white teeth. Percy chucked Jason smiled, and Tony and Clint also smiled.
"Beat again by the kid," Scott grumbled as he got out of the ring, grabbing an ice pack from the cooler Steve brought.
"You okay?" Percy asked as Scott sat next to him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Peter just hits hard, even when he is holding back." He grumbled.
"No one likes a sore loser," Peter stated, smiling as he sat down next to Percy.
"So, you have powers," Jason asked. Peter nodded, rubbing his neck and looking a little sheepish.
"Yeah but don't tell anyone outside of the Avengers. I have a secret identity to watch out for," he said. Both Percy and Jason nodded and turned to watch the rest of the fight hoping they would get to see his powers later, not realizing that they got to see some of his powers already. Both of them were thinking Peter could be one of them. The fight between Bucky and Black Widow was very interesting as neither of them seemed to be holding back. The two demigods watched closely and seemed to be able to follow the fast movements of the two Avengers. The fight ended in a tie which neither seemed to mind.
"Okay Clint, Jason, you're up." Steve stated. Jason stood up to make his way to the ring "Okay, the fight ends when one of us taps out or Steve calls it," Clint said. Jason nodded and got into a flawless fighting stance. Clint threw the first punch, which Jason easily sidestepped, but Clint knew that was coming and quickly threw another punch to Jason's face. He dodged and went in to attack with blinding speed. Clint was on his back with a stunned expression on his face.
"What happened I didn't see it." Scott gasped. Everyone was surprised.
"Jason no powers," Steve reminded as Clint got to his feet.
"He didn't use any powers," Percy stated. That just shocked everyone even more.
"But that happened so fast, even I barely saw it," Peter gasped. Percy just shrugged.
"You don't need to hold back, I know how to take a hit," Jason said as the two squared off again. Clint nodded. This time, he waited for Jason to attack first, dodging his fist then kicked Jason in the chest. Jason stumbled a little but recovered quickly, throwing his kick followed by a right cross that Clint barely dodged.
Percy could tell everyone was studying Jason, trying to tie down his fighting style, but Jason kept changing it up from karate to boxing to street fighting. He continued to push Clint back, then deciding to end the fight, putting Clint in a hold which Clint tried to get out of but ended up tapping out as his arm was starting to fall asleep. Jason let go and backed up as Clint got his bearings. Jason offered a hand, helping Clint to his feet. Everyone stared in shock at that fight, surprised Clint was beaten by a 16-year-old that seemed to know more fighting styles then he did.
"Kid where did you learn to fight like that?" he breathed, trying to catch his breath. He was a little annoyed that Jason didn't seem to be any worse for wear.
"Camp" came his simple reply. Even though he had learned to fight at the Wolf House, he just kept the story consistent. The Avengers were minorly irritated by the one-word response, and wondered where he actually learned to fight since they thought 'camp' was just a code name.
"Alright Percy, you're up" Steve spoke, getting out of his shocked state. Percy got up and walked to the ring.
