"Okay, you two in there. You can go all out if you want and you need to take out as many enemies as you can." Tony's voice filled the silent streets. Both teens nodded, not knowing where the observation room was. Jason grabbed Percy and flew both of them to the top of a building so they could overlook the city. Once they were out of the street, it seemed like a switch had been flipped because the sky was filled with flying beetle looking things and the streets had large robots that towered over some of the smaller buildings and humanoid robots with six arms.
"I didn't think we would be fighting an army just the two of us," Percy muttered as they both ducked down hoping they weren't seen by the enemy
"That makes two of us… you got a plan?" Jason asked.
Up in the observation room, they had a full view of the city Tony constructed and a screen showing Percy and Jason crouched on the rooftops.
"Don't you think you made this a little too hard for their first time?" Sam asked, seeing the large army of robots.
"This isn't designed for them to win, it is purposely hard to try and get them to use their powers so we can see what they are truly capable of," Steve stated.
"But isn't this still a little overkill?" Peter asked, looking at Percy and Jason with concern.
"This isn't real, so we can stop this at any time. They will be fine," Tony stated, having full faith in his robots and training room.
"I am just wondering, what are they doing?" Clint asked as the two teens have yet to move from their spot on the roof.
"Give me a sec," Tony said. Just then, Jason and Percy's voices filled the observation room and it seemed like they were discussing a plan and neither seemed scared or concerned with the overwhelming odds.
"Why are you asking me if I have a plan?" Percy asked.
"Well for social stuff, you are pretty useless since it goes right over your head. But if you want someone dead or a perfect strategic plan to take out over 200 enemies, you're the man." Jason told him. All the Avengers were surprised by what Jason said. Percy seemed to sigh.
"Fine… so, I think the ones in the air are supposed to be for you, since I can't fly" Percy stated.
"So, do you want to try that move we have been practicing?" Jason suggested. Percy shook his head.
"I know they want us to showcase our powers, but that is untested and I don't want it getting out of control here," Percy stated the Avengers frowned, wondering what the two were talking about. Jason nodded.
"Well, I think we kept them waiting long enough. You ready to take on a whole army?" Jason asked. Percy smirked.
"You know, it's not like I had anything else planned for today." Percy shrugged. Even though this was just training, the light tone and attitudes they had were to relieve the tension. They both stood and caught the attention of the beetles in the air. Percy nodded to Jason and he took off into the air to face the beatles. Some of them dive-bombed Percy, forcing him to jump to another building's roof Percy drew his gun and began firing behind him. The robots charged him. Percy skidded to a stop on another roof, drawing the sword and slashing at one of the robots when it got close. The Avengers couldn't believe the speed of Percy sword fighting and how he used the gun and sword like it was one weapon. He fought like a demon, firing and slashing at the beetle-like robots.
They fought as a team and neither needed to speak as they knew what the other was thinking and they moved in unison like a well-oiled machine.
"They have definitely fought together before," Steve observed as they watched both teens making quick work of the robots.
Jason was doing the same in the air. He was like a rocket, spinning in the air firing his gun and running his sword through the enemies left and right. He swooped down, taking out another robot and grabbing Percy's outstretched arm and flew down to street level where the enemies were waiting.
"Come and get me!' Percy shouted to get the robot's attention. They charged as Percy turned and dashed off down the street and as he ran he caused fire hydrants and pipes to explode, drenching the street with water. Percy passed the alley that Jason was in. He stepped out, his hand reaching for the sky and seeing that all the robots were soaking wet and they were all standing in a puddle of water, he brought down his hand and lightning hit the water, electrocuting everything it touched. The buildings close by shook and the people in the observation room shielded their eyes from the bright light.
"What the heck!" Clint gasped. They were not expecting Jason to summon lighting like that or one that powerful.
"He has the same powers as Thor." Rhoedy gasped when the dust cleared and they could see the battlefield again. They saw a large portion of the robot army was destroyed and only 40 to 50 of them managed to escape the trap Percy and Jason set.
"Looks like we got some survivors," Percy stated, seeing the robots hesitate to come near them after that display of power.
"Do you want to finish them off?" Jason asked. Percy nodded and stepped forward, he held out his hand and the water began swirling. The robots tried to get to them but the water began swirling faster. The humanoid robots lost their footing and were swept away by the current, but the two large remaining robots were making headway in the water.
"Percy, I think you need to pick it up a bit. The big ones are headed for us," Jason warned. He fired his gun to keep the robots from firing at Percy. Percy was trying to hold back, but seeing his mini hurricane wasn't going to cut it, he grunted and took another step forward. More explosions of water erupted from the buildings, slamming into the larger robots. Percy's hurricane began to grow in size and strength and started ripping apart buildings.
"You have got to be kidding me! That kid can create hurricanes!" Sam gasped as they watched the hurricane tearring through the city.
"It is a category two hurricane according to JARVIS, and doesn't seem to be losing any power for being on land," Tony stated. Then the hurricane just vanished like it was never there. The only evidence that there had been something was the destroyed buildings and robots, but the street was now dry and there were no puddles to be found.
"Thanks for playing." Percy's voice filled the speakers in the quiet control room, snapping the Avengers out of their shocked silence.
"These kids are a lot stronger than we originally thought," Nat muttered. Even she couldn't hide her shock at the display of power.
"No kidding, they weren't supposed to be able to take out an entire army by themselves, but they destroyed every last enemy in less than an hour." Clint gasped, wide eyed.
"Just who are these kids and what did we get ourselves into," Bruce asked softly, but no one answered. Just then, the door to the observation room opened, and in walked Percy and Jason, both seem a little tired now with small cuts and bruises, but they still looked like they could take on another 200 enemies.
"That was awesome and kind of scary," Peter stated, the first one to speak when the teens entered the room.
"Thanks, I think," Percy replied.
"That was… impressive." Steve said carefully. "Is there anything else you two can do that you would like to tell us?" he asked.
"Just to say that is one of the reasons we don't like using our powers much. We told you they can be a bit destructive," Percy stated.
"And the other reason you don't like using your powers?" Sam asked.
"Because doing large stuff like we just did takes a lot out of us and sometimes it can be hard to control." Jason stated solemnly. Percy looked down, remembering the few times he had lost control of his powers and people were hurt.
"You guys don't seem all that tired, so are you saying there is more you can do?" Scott asked, kind of dreading the answer. Both Percy and Jason just shrugged, which got the adult's eyes to widen even more, just imagining the destruction these two could cause.
"Okay I think that is enough for today. Why don't we take you two to your rooms so you can shower? The stuff you asked for should be in your rooms by now." Tony said, and the other Avengers nodded. Steve and Bucky escorted the two teens to their rooms.
