"You think they finally see what I see?" Asked Steve, placing down a Nike's Nikais card, making Nico lose 500 life points. "They should, which is why I have my sword on my back right now." Said Nico, placing down the Twins of Ares card before attacking with Ares, making Steve lose 1500 life points.
"So we just gotta wait for one of them to come in here?" Asked Steve, placing down a defense card face down. "Yeah basically. Fields of Asphodel, 5000." Said Nico, giving Steve the card, making Steve grumble. "How do you always draw the cards you need to win." Said Steve, having lost the game.
Nico sacrificed 5000 life points, making Steve lose 10,000, which is the starting life points. Nico grinned, cleaning up the cards and putting it back in their proper decks.
They then were just talking about each other's crazy lives when Tony came in and made a ruckus. "Hold the fucking phone what is that on your back?!" Asked Tony the moment he saw Nico. "It's a sword. Obviously." Deadpanned Nico, leaning back.
"Please don't lean on the couch with a sharp pointy thing on your body, I don't want Pepper to kill me." Said Tony, pushing Nico away from the couch with a metal rod he brought with him. Why he brought it with him, we'll never know.
"Alright, just don't touch the blade no matter what. I don't want any narcissistic ego of that soul of yours in my sword." Said Nico, pushing away the metal rod. "I'm sorry what?"
"Nothing." Said Nico quickly with a grin. Tony glared at him as best as he could before walking to the kitchen, probably to get a glass of water. More likely to get a glass of alcohol.
"Well, guess that means the wait's over." Said Steve, looking for the remote to the TV. "Yeah. That also means monsters are more likely to attack." Groaned Nico, making Steve stop looking through the throw pillows. "What type of monsters?"
"I'd rather not say so just hand me my deck so I can show you." Steve gave him the stink eye. "Why don't you go get it yourself?" Nico gestured to himself, with a singular throw pillow on his chest. "I refuse to leave the pillow realm." Said Nico, grinning, making Steve sigh in turn.
"Woah, since when did you get so old and boring?" Asked Nico, smirking. Steve rolled his eyes before tossing the plastic housing containing Nico's deck. "Fuck! You nearly hit me in the eye." Said Nico, failing to catch it making the deck hit him smack on the forehead.
"Don't blame me. Blame that pillow realm for not letting you use your arms." Said Steve, sitting down on one of the loveseats. "Ha ha. Back to the question, these are most likely gonna attack us within the week. Honestly, I'm shocked they haven't attacked us the entire time we've stayed here."
"Let's just be grateful they haven't." Nico chuckled. "You've just jinxed it. In a few minutes from now these monsters are most likely to attack us due to Percy or Jason doing something stupid because Annabeth wasn't watching them." Said Nico, laying down a few cards depicting empousai, hellhounds, and a basilisk.
"Those guys are smaller than they seem. At least, that's what Frank said." Said Nico, pointing to the picture of the basilisk which was depicted as a gigantic snake. "They're not gigantic?" Asked Steve, a bit disappointed. "What's not gigantic?" Asked Tony, who was now holding 2 bottles of beer before handing one to Steve.
"This. And please don't say it's name." Said Nico, giving Tony the basilisk card. Tony picked up one of the throw pillows before sitting down on the cleared space. "Wow, Harry Potter was a fucking lie." Said Tony, tossing the card back to Nico.
"I've read it. What's your houses?" Asked Steve, picking up one of the throw pillows that fell on the ground. "I'm a Slytherin, sadly." Said Tony, taking a swig of his beer. "Really? I thought you'd be in Ravenclaw." Said Steve, swirling around the beer in his bottle.
"You do know my shitty old nickname right? The “Merchant of Death“, Anthony Stark. Willing to sell explosives to make a heck ton of money." Said Tony dryly, clearly having a small hatred to the nickname. "Well, that isn't you. Not anymore." Said Steve, patting Tony on the shoulder.
"Apologies for interrupting sirs but, there are some suits of yours going rampage and heading for the living area." Said J.A.R.V.I.S, interrupting the three of them and making Nico curse in Greek. "Eidolons. But Frank said Leo trapped the ones following us." Said Nico, the last sentence mostly to himself.
Just then, the team burst through the door. "Tony, what the hell kind of experiment is this!? One of your suits almost blew my arm off!" Exclaimed Clint, breathing heavily from the adrenaline rush. "Those suits aren't yours. Not right now at least." Said Jason, flicking his coin, making it turn into a sword.
"Thank Vulcan the Hephaestus and Hecate cabin know how to work together." Muttered Jason to himself, turning the sword in his hands. "Jason, creepy ghosts with golden eyes on a rampage, remember?" Said Annabeth, making Jason nod.
"Okay, what exactly is happening?" Asked Bruce who was hiding behind the couch. "Remember that story we told you about the principia and Leo? These were kinda the same guys who possessed him. Annabeth's trying to hold them off." Said Percy, uncapping Riptide.
"I'm gonna stop questioning why school stationary and money keeps turning into swords. Let's just destroy these suits." Said Tony, activating the hand repulsor in his watch. Steve strapped on his shield, which was brought in by Nat. "You sure you won't cry when we destroy those?" Teased Steve, making Tony laugh dryly.
"Ha ha. Not the fucking time." Suddenly, four Iron man suits with a golden glow where the eyes should be, burst in. Percy, who went into the kitchen earlier, tossed a whole pitcher of water in their direction.
"How unlucky, Perseus. These suits are immune to your pathetic stunts." Croaked one of the suits, aiming a repulsor at them. "Welp, I tried." Said Percy, controlling some of the water to act as a shield while the rest entered the suits to make an attempt to control them from the inside.
"Bad move Katara. Those suits have an internal heating system that activate automatically." Said Tony, putting on his shades. "What the hell are shades gonna do?!" Asked Grover, getting a bit frantic at the eidolons powering up their chest repulsors.
"I'll try and hack my own system to force those suits to power down. Just try and not let me get killed." Said Tony, moving his hands in a weird manner in the air, as if moving unseen images. "Probably won't work. Eidolons are annoying and if these aren't the same ones trapped in those Archimedes suits, then they can possess us." Said Nico, grimacing.
"1 star rating. It was super weird." Said Percy, deflecting one of the beams. "Okay, protect Tony and try not to get possessed, got it." Said Clint, aiming one of his trick arrows at the eidolons and letting it fly, scattering a purple-pink putty, sticking them in place and obstructing their view.
"Bad move." Said Nico, noticing the faint golden glow coming from the suits. "Shit. Try and not get possessed!" Yelled Percy, sprinting towards the suits.
"How exactly do we do that?!" Asked Bruce, a bit green from the fear. "Zero idea. You're a genius, you'll figure it out." Said Percy, prodding one of the suits, since all 4 just stopped moving. The team relaxed a little before Percy shouted.
"Uh guys?!" Said Percy, backing away from the golden glow. Just then, the suits stopped glowing, making the team tense less. "That was it?" Asked Grover, not quite believing it. "Oh, it's not you poor satyr." Said Steve, making his teammates back up.
"Steve?" Asked Nat cautiously, pointing her widow bites at him. Nico inhaled a sharp breath. "That's not Steve." Said Nico, standing ready. "Well spotted, son of Hades." Said Steve the eidolon, grinning maniacally. "You weren't exactly trying to hide it." Said Tony, stuffing his shades back in his pocket and training the metal rod he had on Steve.
"How far have the Seven and their companions fallen, mingling with pathetic mortals." Crooned “Steve“, making Nico cringe. "Where are the others?" Asked Jason.
"If you'd look behind you, child of Rome." Said Percy, eyes glowing gold. "Not again." Grumbled Annabeth. "You guys seem to be forgetting, there were 4 creepy ghosts people." Said Tony, pointing his metal rod at Clint.
"So the mortals aren't all useless." Said Clint, smirking. "Wait. Then that leaves..." Said Nat, immediately backing away from Clint the eidolon and aiming one of her widow bites at Bruce, who decided to leave the protection of the couch.
"It seems so." Said Bruce, smiling creepily. "I am the son of Hades, and I command you to leave these bodies at once." Commanded Nico, having no effect on the eidolons. "Don't worry, Nico Di Angelo. We were only sent to deliver a message." Said Percy the possessed, capping his sword.
"And cause a ruckus. Just tell us what the message is and who sent you before I send your asses to the Fields of Punishment." Said Nico, giving his best glare at the eidolon, Percy just smirking. "They says to ready your camps and your mortal allies for they have allies of their own. They say that you are to see bloodshed unlike ever before."
"I've already seen enough torments to last me a lifetime, in Tartarus." Snarled Nico. Jason put a hand on his shoulder, holding him back. "Tell your leaders we got the message. And tell them to tread carefully. Now leave." Said Jason, keeping his cool.
The ones possessed by the eidolons snarled before passing out and flopping on the floor, signing that they've left. Grover looked around at the passed out people and the ones awake, all with a grim look.
"Well that was eventful."
