Peter kept his eyes shut when he woke up. He felt a powerful presence in the room with him, though it was nowhere near Thor's or Loki's level of power, but it was strong enough. He made sure his heart beat did not alter its beating pattern and he made sure he breathing was the same. He listened in and heard it was a male. Peter used his spider sense to 'look' through his surrounding he sensed he was in a "magical" place similar to Asgard. The room felt similar to a hospital room. He was talking to someone but he did not sense who. He listened a little harder he heard a females voice.

He heard the female say "Ok Apollo, When do you think he will be able to wake up?"

Apollo sighed and said "I am not sure. He is not healing like he should; my touch has little no effect. He is healing about twice to three times the speed of a normal human. He is stable though he did have a very high fever of 106.2 degrees Fahrenheit. He broke the fever about ten minutes ago. If he wakes up it will be in at least six to eight weeks."

The female said "Thank you, please keep me informed."

"You're welcome. I read his mind and he has been through torture, lost all his friends and loved one, lived on the streets. He is completely alone and he is afraid to get close to anyone. He nearly lost all hope." Apollo said sadly.

The female gave a nod before the Iris Message disappeared.

Peter then realized he was strapped to the table he used a little strength and the bed creaked and groaned. Apollo rushed to his side and Peter felt Apollo's hand on his forehead. He muttered something on Greek. Peter decided to do a prank. A began to mutter in his sleep "No more... No..." The restraints were creaking and groaning in protests. The bed frame was bending and yielding Peter's superior strength.

Peter could feel another presence appear in the room, it just teleported there. It was an eight year old girl or that is what it appeared to be, but by the waves of power coming from her she was far more powerful than this "Apollo".

"Thank you Aunt Hestia for coming, though I did not call you." Apollo said.

Hestia smiled kindly at Apollo and said warmly "I know."

Apollo said "I do not mean to be rude, but why are you here?"

Hestia said kindly "It was a request from Percy, since this man saved his and some of his best friends' life he thought he owed him one."

Peter felt peace and hope. Peter never thought he would feel hope again, at least so strongly. This lady radiated hope and warmth. Peter's muscles loosed up. Peter sensed her come towards him. She placed a hand on his right temple and a hand over his heart. He heard her say some things in Ancient Greek and Peter felt warm flood his body, something he never thought he would eel again ever since Loki's blessing. Loki's blessing made him fire proof so he could no longer feel heat or warmth and ever since Skadi blessing him he never felt cold or cool. It took him a long time to get use to feeling "numb" but if he focused he could feel.

Hestia's hand glowed and soon Peter began to heal, though scars would remain. Deep scars. Pete groaned and slowly opened his eyes in the warm soft eyes of Hestia were the first thing he saw. Peter forgot that h=was restraint and asked "Where am I?"

Apollo said proudly "In my temple."

Peter realized again he was restrained he weakly tried to break through his restraints. If he tried he could easily break out. He felt most of his strength come back into his body and something that he never thought he would have again... hope... Peter felt hope again.

Hestia snapped her fingers and the restraints disappeared. Peter calmed down almost immediately. Hestia said calmly "Peter, you are safe here. I will not let any harm come to you. I swear on the Styx River." Then a roll of thunder could be heard.

Peter knew something happened, but he could not remember all of the Greek and Roman mythology. He was more adopt to Norse mythology due to being around Thor, Loki, Odin and the rest. Peter asked politely "Lady Hestia, please forgive my ignorance, but you will have to explain a few things..."

Hestia smiled kindly and said "It's ok."

Peter gave her a warm smile and asked "Since I have a feeling I will be here for a while, mind bringing me a few books, some history books so I can get caught up on history, true history."

Apollo asked "Are a son of Athena?"

Peter arched an eyebrow and asked "The goddess of wisdom? I am pretty sure I am not..."

Apollo asked "Who were your parents?"

Peter sighed and said "Richard and Mary Parker. They were murdered in a plane crush when I was about five years old. I lived with my Aunt and Uncle. My Uncle Ben was murdered before my eyes; a thief shut him in the gut when I was only about twelve. I held his hand as he died. I lived with only my aunt May. I spent almost of my time with either my aunt or my girlfriend's place. My girlfriend's father died when I was about fourteen. My girlfriend was murdered when I was sixteen. My aunt was murdered about two years later."

Hestia gave Peter a hug of comfort. Apollo was speechless; this could have been through more than he thought. He read his mind, but apparently not very deep! Peter asked "Can you two please keep what I say between the three of us?"

Hestia said "Yes I can."

Apollo said "I can as will."

Both of them swore to the River Styx to secrecy of Peter's true origin.

Peter told them everything, from his rough childhood (or loach thereof) to losing his friends. To getting married, to her and his entire family murder to being alone for who knows how long, to watching his recently adopted daughter's death to finally entering here."

Hestia's heart was moved she asked "Peter, can I adopt you?"

Peter was taken back at the question and was thunderstruck. He said after think about it for a minute "I would be delighted Lady Hestia."

Hestia smiled warmly and chanted in Ancient Greek; Peter felt a bond form between him and Hestia. Hestia said kindly to him "Please call me either Hestia or Mom. I do not care for formalities."

Peter smiled gratefully and said "Thank you Mom." Peter grimaced it did not sound normal to him, he barely remembers his parents, he never called anybody "Mom" or "Mother" before so it was awkward, really awkward for Peter. Peter said with a sigh "Sorry Hestia but say mom is a little awkward for me. I never called anyone "Mom" or "Mother" before." Peter gave her an apologetic smile.

Hestia said warmly "I understand, maybe one day..."

Peter smiled and said "Maybe one day... One day..."

When Hestia adopted Peter she gave him her full blessing, control over fire, healing fires, teleporting by fire, summoning food, plus a few other cool stuff. Hestia did not tell Peter this, she asked Peter "If you could Peter, which would you chose to heal-"

Peter cut her off "I would chose to heal, I do not care for myself, but if I could heal others that would be best." He realized he just cut of his new "Mother" He said quickly "Sorry..."

Hestia smiled and said "I was hoping you would choose that."

Peter asked confused "You mean you're not mad at me for cutting you off?"

Hestia chuckled warmly and said "No. I am proud of you."

Peter did not tell them about Thor, Loki, or Skadi well any of the Norse Deities. He numbly nodded.

Hestia said "You will no longer be burned by fire, you can control fire, and you can heal others. And you can summon home cooked meals."

Peter was shocked and asked "Why? I mean I truly am grateful, but I do not need all of that. All I really want is to heal others. I do not care if I burn slowly to death if I can save one person!"

Hestia did not need Apollo to tell her that Peter was being sincere she was glad she chose Peter as her only "son" and her first "champion".

Apollo asked "Do you know how much pain being burned feels?"

Peter growled and gestured to a old burn scar "Yes I am acquainted with being burned and torture."

Apollo held his hands up in surrender and said "No need to get defensive it was only a question bro!"

Peter rolled his eyes and sighed. He take a few seconds before saying "I am sorry Apollo, you question was legit, I should not have snapped at you like that, my apologies."

Apollo gave a nod and said "No problem bro."

Peter arched an eye brow and asked "If Hestia is your aunt, would that not make me you cousin?"

Apollo shrugged and said "If you want me to say "cuz"."

Peter sighed and said "I prefer my name. I suppose I like bro better but cuz would make more sense. Either one works."

Apollo thought about for a second and said "Cuz works because I have A LOT of cousins!"

Peter sighed and muttered "You have even more children."

Hestia heard Peter and stifled a giggle.

Peter asked "Can I leave no or...?"

Apollo said "You may leave."

Peter asked "Could I actually get some clothes?"

Hestia snapped her fingers and Peter was wearing a long sleeved black shirt with a light blue button up undershirt. He wore thick navy blue jeans. He had a pair of Nikes. Peter smiled gratefully and asked "Could I please get a hoodie, a black hoodie, zip up?"

Hestia smiled and snapped her fingers and a hoodie appeared on Peter. Peter gave her a hug and thanked her.

Apollo said "That fits you."

Peter growled in annoyance.

Apollo said "Let me rephrase that. I like that style, you match your personality. You look fine in it."

Peter rolled his eyes and said "I would not care if I was ugly in this; it covers me and would keep me warm."

Hestia said "Actually you will never become could again; the hearth will keep you warm."

Peter smiled and said "Thank you."

His adopted mother gave him a kiss on the forehead, this made Peter blush.

Apollo said "I can take you to Camp Half Blood now if you like."

Peter said with a a smile "anything to get out of this blinding gold room!"

Apollo said in mock offence "I love my temple! It is so shiny!"

Peter shook his head and chuckled.

Hestia said to Peter "If you ever need anyone to talk to I will always be at the hearth."

Peter chuckled and said "I am a wanderer, I hope you do campfires."

Hestia smiled and said placing a hand on Peter's heart "Home is where the heart is."

Peter chuckled and placed a hand over Hestia's hand and said warmly "Family is not blood, it is bond."

Hestia smiled and gave Peter a nod.

Apollo said "Time's ticking."

Peter gave a kiss to Hestia's cheek and walked over to Apollo and from there Apollo flashed them to Camp Half Blood.

(Line Break)

Peter was teleported to just outside the border of the camp. Peter grew a claw that was a foot long and he put it up his sleeve to hide the 'blade'. He may or may have forgotten to mention to Hestia and to Apollo about being Spider Man with all of these 'extra' powers. Apollo was shocked that the comic and the movies were actually semi true. Peter was sure to pick up a comic or two to see what all the hype was about.

About five minutes later Peter saw the large pine tree and Peter boldly walked forward though not with arrogance he walked knowing he did not sense any danger. Peter made it to the tree once he made it to the top of the ridge he looked down and saw several dozen cabins. It was about noon. He listened in and heard distant bow and arrows, he heard laughter and he heard people shouting some in joy others in anger.

Peter felt power once he neared and passed to pine tree. It felt like a force field, but it allowed him to pass. Peter muttered "Ok, so I guess I go to the camp director..." Peter walked down the hill and walked into the outskirts of the camp.

Peter was meted by a centaur Peter arched en eyebrow and muttered "That's something you don't see every day!"

"My name is Chiron." The centaur said.

Peter sighed extending his hand "Peter, Peter Parker."

Chiron asked "Do you know who your godly parent is?"

Peter replied and said "No sir."

Chiron asked "Are you sure?"

Peter growled and said "Yes I am. I had rather a rough night."

Chiron sighed and said "I could send you to the Hermes' cabin for now,"

Peter said "I think I would rather sleep under the open sky."

Chiron said "That is not allowed." Chiron saw a look of defiance in Peter's eyes and knew that he was very much like Percy Jackson his favorite student.

Peter asked "So what is there to do for fun around here?"

Chiron was about to say something when a blond headed girl with grey stormy eyes came up to them.

Chiron said "Ah Annabeth, just the person I wanted to see! Would you please show Peter around?

Annabeth looked at Peter and exclaimed "YOU?!"

Peter smiled sheepishly and said nervously "Pleasure to meet you again." He said with a slight bow of respect. This did not go unseen by a twelve year old girl with silver eyes.

Annabeth asked "Would you like for me to show you around."

Peter smiled warmly and said "Yes please..."

Annabeth said "What would you like to see first?"

Peter smirked and said "I would to spar."

Annabeth said "I thought you were injured."

Peter replied and said "Yes but Apollo and Hestia healed me."

Annabeth gave a nod and said "Ok, Let me take you to the arena."

(Line Break)

(Time Skip: Ten Minutes Later...)

Annabeth kept asking Peter questions about, where he is from, what is a heritage, how old he is, what unique ability he had, etc...

Peter and Annabeth finally arrived at the arena Peter asked "So do you guys have other weapons?"

Annabeth said "Look in the barrel that is where we keep the extra weapons."

Peter walked over to the barrel and looked through it, but al the weapons were slightly off, none of them fit him. He picked up spears, knives, daggers, short swords, double edged swords, and just about every other weapon none of them he liked, he hoped his claws could block their weapons, otherwise he would have to fight like he use to but without the webbing.

A boy who was heavily built with blond hair and electric blue eyes said to Peter "You're the new kid?"

Peter sensed arrogance coming from him. Peter growled and asked "Yes, what's it to you punk."

The boy said "I am Max, son of Zeus!"

Peter growled and said "Take your sword and shove it where the sun don't shine." Peter turned his back and began walking away.

Max lifted his sword and went to stab Peter in the back.

Everyone was frozen in place unable to do anything. Max went to cut off Peter's head, Peter's spider sense went off. He dropped flat to the ground. Max was expecting to just behead him so he was swinging full strength so when he missed he was brought completely out of balance. Peter kicked Max in the knee making him drop to the ground. Peter did a hand spring and landed on his feet. Peter snarled and said "You want to fight? Come one face me or are you a coward you can only fight when a man's back is turned?!"

Max groaned in pain he stood up and growled "You are going to pay for that!"

Peter chuckled and said "I highly doubt that kid."

Max lifted his sword in the air and lighting struck it. He then extended his sword in Peter's direction and shot a large bolt of lightning at Peter. Peter moved with near superhuman speed and dodged the bolt. Peter growled and said "Sure, use lightning to keep me at bay. You are the man aren't you?"

Max shot another and another bolt but Peter easily dodged them.

Max growled in rage and he shot a rouge bolt, it would have hit a girl if not for Peter getting between the bolt and the girl.

The girl's name was Piper, daughter of Aphrodite, though she was not like her siblings. She quickly knelt down next to Peter. When she got there Peter rolled onto his belly and stood up, his blue eye were now burning cold. Peter asked her "You ok?"

Piper nodded her head.

Peter gave her a nod and said "You best get out of here."

Piper shook her head.

Peter sighed and said "I do not want anyone to get hurt."

Piper nodded her head and she quickly left the arena.

Peter snarled in rage once everyone but Max left he yelled out Max "You think you're all that? You nearly killed an innocent girl! You were fight me!"

Max smirked and said "I hit you did I not?"

Peter growled and said "You are tempting Fate."

Max said "I am the most powerful Demigod that has ever lived!"

Peter chuckled darkly and coldly and said "Pride comes before the fall."

Max charged Peter with his sword buzzing with electricity. He kept stabbing and slashing, but Peter dodged with ease. Peter stomped on his foot shattering every bone in his foot. Max bellowed in pain Peter took this to knee him in the groin with enough force to crack his pelvis. Max was barely conscious. Peter took his sword hand and broke it. Max yelled in pain his right forearm was bet at nearly a ninety degree angle. You could see the bulge of the bone, but it did not break through the skin.

Peter lifted him up by his neck and whispered coldly "Mess with me or girls again I am going to kill you nice and slow. The most painful way I know. No one will ever find your body when I am done with you."

Max spit in Peter's face. Peter just head butted him and gave him a concussion and a fractured skull.

Peter dropped him roughly and looked around and saw nearly the whole camp looking at him, Peter said "We could use a doctor."

That snapped everyone out of the trance.

Within a few minutes they brought Max into the infirmary where Will stabilized him. Will did not like Max at all. But he is the best 'healer' there so he had to help.

Peter slumped against the arena's wall farthest away from the door. He said to himself "I need to get a weapon, or I need to..." Peter sighed. Peter was immune to electricity due to Thor's blessing.

Piper came into the arena with another male that had blond hair electric blue eyes, but he was taller and was lean, lean muscles.

The boy said "So you are the one that my girlfriend has told me about?"

Peter raised his hands in surrender and said "I did not do anything."

The blond shook his head and said "I am Jason son of Jupiter, pleasure to meet you." He extended his hand.

Peter shook his hand and said "Peter, Peter Parker."

Jason helped Peter stand. Peter said "You know Jason, your brother is lucky I did not kill him."

Jason snorted and said "I would be glad if you kill him!"

"Then why haven't you?" Peter asked.

"He is family." Jason said as if it was the most obvious thing.

Peter rolled his eyes and said "You know Jason family is not always blood. Family is bond."

Jason paused and said slowly nodding his head in agreement "That is true."

Peter said "You do realize I can walk right?"

Jason rolled his eyes and said "That was a large bolt of lightning, you're lucky you even survived!"

Peter chuckled and shook his head.

Piper piped up and said "Thank you Peter."

Peter smiled warmly and said "I was only doing what was right, anybody would have done that." Peter said shrugging off the complement.

Jason rolled his eyes and said muttered "We have another Percy."

Peter arched an eyebrow and asked "Percy? Who is Percy?"

Jason sighed and said "Someone who is too humble for their own good."

Peter said "Better be too humble than too proud. Pride comes before destruction."

Jason shook his head and said "We have a proverbial quoting Percy, just what we needed!"

Piper giggled at her boyfriend's antics.

Peter's stomach growled getting their attention.

Jason chuckled and said "It is about diner time anyway,"

Peter rolled his eyes and blushed. He looked down and saw his clothes had burnt all the way through to his skin. Luckily neither Jason nor Piper noticed this. Peter asked them to tell him about some history so he knew who some people were and who they were and how they met. They told him a long tale. They finished just in time for diner.

Peter would have rather not eat then to have to go with the crowd.

Piper saw Annabeth and Percy and she dragged Jason along. Peter chuckled and he slipped away. The stars began coming out, he grabbed a plate of food and walked out. He made a small little campfire. He ate a little and threw some food in the fire. He said "To Hestia thank you for adopting me." He threw another piece in and said "To Apollo, thank you for healing me and welcoming me with open arms." He threw another portion of food into the fire and said "To Artemis goddess of the Hunt." He did not say anything, we were just giving thanks because he is a hunter and he respects that it is her domain. That and he did a little research on her she was one of the few gods and goddesses who actually did a good job in their domain. He threw one last bit of food and said "Thank you Khione." Peter thanked her because she was winter. Skadi was the Norse goddess of winter and the Hunt.

Peter watched as the large crowd made their way toward the large campfire. He when sensed someone coming. Out of the fire stepped Lady Hestia. Peter quickly bowed, forgetting she did not wish for him to do so. Hestia said to Peter with slight scornfulness of a mother "What did I tell you about bowing to me Peter?"

Peter chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck and said "To not to, sorry Mom, it is a habit to show respect to those who earned it."

Hestia smiled kindly in her eight year old form and said "Why don't you join the others?"

Peter chuckled and said "I am not much for crowds, besides I can see most everyone from here."

Hestia said to Peter "Peter, please go and at least try to make some friends."

Peter gave a low growl and said "All my friends die!"

Hestia smiled sadly at Peter and said "I know, but please, for me?"

Peter sighed in defeat and said "Ok fine! Just don't expect me to be Mr. Nice Guy or Mr. Joyful."

Hestia gentle shook her head and fire traveled back from where she was before leaving Peter alone; when Hestia left she took the fire with her. Peter sighed and he began to walk towards the group from the shadows. He moved without making a sound. He noticed there were several groups mostly divided by siblings, but there were a few mismatches and more than a few group couples. Peter stalked from the shadows watching, searching for a place where he thought he would fit in the best. Peter noticed Annabeth, Jason, and Piper with a few more friends. Peter shrugged and muttered "What do I got to lose?" With that he stealthily made his towards them.

Little did Peter know that a silver eyed girl noticed his stealth and was slightly impressed at his stealth, it rivaled the best huntresses and nymphs. Peter had gotten her attention from the moment he arrived last night and earlier today when he took a bolt of lightning for a girl he did not even know. Such selflessness was rare, Peter reminded this girl of Perseus Jackson. She was going to watch this boy to see if it is all a front.

Peter made his way toward the rather large group. When Piper noticed him first she exclaimed "Peter!"

Peter flinched at the sudden shout. He gave a sheepish smile and said while rubbing the back of his neck "Yes miss."

Jason gave Peter a nod of acknowledgement. Peter return the nod.

Peter felt awkward and was about to leave when Annabeth said "Why don't you stick around for a while?"

Peter chuckled at the unknown pun. Peter said "Not if it makes things awkward."

The boy with sea green eyes and wild black hair stood up and extended his hand and said with a warm smile "Percy, Percy Jackson.'"

Peter took his hand and said "Peter, Peter Parker."

Percy said "I see you know Jason, Piper and my girlfriend Annabeth."

Peter gave him a nod and asked "Who is everyone else?"

Percy said gesturing from his left "Thalia Grace Jason's sister."

Peter gave her a slight bow and shook her hand.

Percy gestured to the next person to Thalia left "This is Nico, and his sister Bianca, and half sister Hazel all children of Hades and Pluto."

Peter gave a nod to and shook hands with Nico and bowed just slightly to the girls and shook their hands.

Percy said "And this is Reyna"

Peter gave her a slight deeper bow sensing more authority coming from her.

Jason asked "Is there a reason for not respecting Nico, Percy and I?"

Peter chuckled and said "I am respecting you; otherwise I would have ignored you. I show more respect to the ladies, they have done less harms to me than has men."

Jason arched an eyebrow and asked "What does that mean?"

Peter said coldly with slight malice in his voice though it was not directed towards them "Beaten, betrayed, tortured all mostly by males."

There was tension in the air, no one dared to move. Peter sighed and said shaking his head "It's all in the past..."

Jason rubbed the back of his neck "Sorry I asked..."

"No problem." Peter replied with a small smile and there was a just barely an ember of hope kindled in his eyes.

A girl said proudly "I am Clarisse daughter of Ares."

Peter gave a very slight bow to her, he still held a grudge about losing some friends during a war. But he still smiled and said "pleasure to meet you."

Soon the rest of the people were introduced; Jason, Leo, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Clarisse, Nico, Bianca, Reyna, Thalia and Frank, and a few others. Peter began regretting showing himself, he would have much rather been on the outside looking in.

Annabeth and Percy told their story and how they each met. Peter listened intently, but stayed quiet. Finally Annabeth said "And that is how I met."

Peter chuckled and said "That was rather a long tale."

Percy muttered "Tell me about!"

Peter laughed and said "At least your lives are not boring!"

Percy had to chuckle and said "You got that right! But sometimes I wish I could just have some peace."

Peter smiled empathically knowing what he meant and said "Trust me I know what you mean. You hope to catch a break, but fate has other ideas. Just when you get relaxed Fate messes with you. Trust me Percy; my luck is just as bad as yours..."

Percy looked into Peter's eyes and saw great pain; he knew then that Peter was more broken than he let in on. Percy extended his hand and said "Thank you."

Peter shook his hand and said "You're welcome. Percy you will never be alone. You are surrounded by friends, true friends. You have a family. Never given in without a fight, never bow and never yield."

Percy chuckled and said "Trust me the sea does not like to be contained."

Peter smirked then said "Sometimes, when you cage the beast, the beast gets angry."

Will sensed that there was truth in that statement that it was a joke, but he kept the thought to himself.

Peter said looking up at the night sky "It is getting late. I think it would be best if we go ahead and go to bed."

Annabeth asked "Where is your cabin?"

Peter said with a shrug "Either Hermes' Cabin or under the night sky."

Percy growled and said "The gods swore an oath to claim their children by the age of twelve at the very latest!"

Peter placed a hand on Percy's shoulder and said "Relax, I do not think I am truly a demigod. I am sure things will reveal themselves in due time."

Percy still was not happy but said "You are right."

Peter asked "Would you guys have any books that I can read? History preferably so I can get an idea of what's going on."

Annabeth's face lit up and said "Yes we do, actually I do. It is nice to see someone who is actually willing to read." She shot a look at Percy who was not lost in his own thoughts.

Peter chuckled and said "Knowledge is power, and sometimes even might and strength must bow to wisdom."

Annabeth said "Finally someone who acknowledges wisdom and knowledge as power! Are you sure you are not my brother?"

Peter rolled his eyes and sighed then said "I am not sure of anything anymore."

Annabeth asked "Would you mind sleeping in Athena's cabin?"

Peter said trying not to be rude "Annabeth, I would not be very comfortable. You and Percy seem like a good couple, you two complete each other, brains and brawns, pride and humility. I will not come between you two."

Percy placed a hand on Peter shoulder and said "For that very reason is why I know I can trust you. Besides I trust Annabeth with my life."

Peter said "Percy, you just met me, how do you know I will not betray you? How do you know I am not a spy?"

Percy opened his mouth to speak but Peter cut him off and said "You do not. I could be a great friend or one of your worst enemies. I am not saying this to boast, but to remind you where you put your trust, to remind you where your loyalties lie." Without saying another word Peter walked into the darkness just outside the light of the campfire leaving the group of heroes in a state of shock. A certain auburn haired girl with silver eyes heard and saw the whole thing. She saw how Peter always respected the girls and was very careful not to hurt anyone. But when he said that he could be an enemy and a spy she knew he was lying but she knew why he did it, he did it because he wanted them to be careful where they put their trust in. She hated to admit it, but she was getting more and more interested with Peter and she wanted to find out more about him.

Soon everyone went into their perspective cabins except for Reyna who bunked with Clarisse because they bother were daughters of a god (or goddess) of war. Thalia went to Artemis's cabin because she was a hunter. Percy went to his own cabin that was Poseidon's cabin. Everyone had a cabin but Peter, not that Peter cared. He would much rather rest in the fresh air of the night. Besides he has not been to New York in a very, very long time. Besides this is a different New York, from all the others. This New York should not have Avenger Tower, Stark Tower, Oscorps, or any other building.

Peter walked into the woods and his spider sense was giving him a dull throb letting him know he was being watched, but it was not sharp so he knew he was not in any "true" danger. He checked his danger sense and he felt plausible danger, but nothing too big. Peter sighed and chose not to go to New York, at least not tonight.

Peter instead chose to go ahead and sleep in the woods, he could sense someone follow him, but who or whatever it was, was extremely light on their feet and was like a ghost barely making a noise. Peter walked behind a tree and he then disappeared by using his color changing ability. He then used his super human speed to run and a few hundred yards in only a second or two. Once he was for sure out of sight he made a web hammock and made a small fire and waited.

(Line Break)

(Time Skip: Five Minutes Later)

Peter was cooking some fresh rabbit over the fire with wild edibles. He was stoking the fire with a stick; the stick was more like a shepherd's staff. It was about six feet long, an inch and a half thick on one end and on the other it had a curve and a knot (It basically looked like Jack Frost's staff from "Rise of the Guardians") Peter felt the presence stop just outside his 'campsite'

Peter said without turning around "I know you are there."

The presence stayed just outside the clearing waiting, unsure if he was bluffing or not, either way the presence did not want to reveal itself, not yet at least.

Peter sighed and said "You have my word, I will not attack nor will I harm you so long you do not provoke me."

The presence walked into the light.

Peter stood to his feet and gave a slight bow then he asked "Who are you little one?"

The presence was a twelve year old girl with silver eyes and auburn air or that is what it looked like. The girl said "My name is Diana."

Peter said "My name is Peter."

After waiting a second or two Peter gestured to his campfire and to almost cooked rabbit and asked "Would you like some? I have more than enough food."

Diana paused unsure of what to do.

Peter said "I promise I will not try anything. Where are you parents? And why are you here?"

Diana did not reply.

Peter smiled warmly and said coaxingly "Please come to the fire, we do not want you to get cold. Besides it is dark out that is when strange things happen in these woods when it is dark out."

Diana begrudgingly stepped towards the fire and she sat across from the fire. Peter gave her a plate and a small bowl and said "Here you go Diana; my rabbit is not quite done yet. The stew should be ready in a few minutes."

Diana asked "Why are you being like this?"

Peter asked "What do you mean?"

Diana replied and said "You seem so kind to a stranger."

Peter chuckled and said "All I see is a little girl lost in the woods. I see Petra, someone who I would consider my little sister. I will not allow anything to harm you as long as I can fight."

Diana asked "Where is Petra now?"

Peter sighed and said slightly depressed "She recently was killed as of about three days ago."

Diana was shocked, she now knew that Peter had a pure heart and would not ever harm a maiden.

Peter grabbed the stick over the fire and pulled the rabbit off. Peter took the small pot off of the fire to let it cool down. Peter noticed Diana was not eating Peter sighed and asked "Sorry if I took your appetite. I loved my sister, she was more of a daughter to me than anything else. We were not even related, but we shared more things than we did not. She had brown hair and blue eyes, she stood five foot six inches and had a gymnast build. She was very kind and caring, though she dated someone I wish she would not have. But he was a kid kid, but I would have rather send her somewhere where she would be safe."

Diana was speechless.

Peter and Diana ate in awkward silence. After eating Peter tossed some food into the fire and muttered "To Hestia, and to Artemis."

Diana felt a surge of strength.

Peter said "I have a hammock over there, I will do the dishes and probably go out on patrol. Then in the morning I can lead you to camp."

Diana said "I have to leave..."

Peter said with a sigh "I can't let you go alone, it is too risky."

Diana had to admire Peter for caring about a stranger, but she needed to get on the moon chariot. Diana said "Peter please trust me."

Peter looked at her in the eyes he looked down and sighed then said "As you wish. Please be safe."

Diana said with a smirk "No promises." Then Diana stepped into the woods a few moments later the was a flash of light. Peter rushed to the area and saw there was nothing wrong, but the problem was just that. There were no signs of Diana. Little did Peter know that Diana was in fact Artemis.

Peter looked for her for several minutes before concluding that Diana was not just a normal girl.

(Line Break: The Next Morning)

The next morning Peter walked into camp through the back side to avoid the front. He walked carefully to avoid people. Though he did talk to a few nymphs and they were kind and nice to him. He actually got along well with most of the nymphs.

Peter made his way to Mess Hall where the food was going to be served he could smell the food from literally a mile away due to his super human sense of smell. He made his way into the Mess Hall he lowered his hood to hide his face and he was careful to make sure his skin tone matched that of the shirt so that people would not noticed the huge hole.

Peter was walking away when he felt his spider sense go off, he stopped turned around and caught a girl who slipped on some sort of oil. He caught her with one arm then he used his other to catch her toast, eggs, bacon and a cup of orange juice, without spilling a single drop. Peter muttered "That was close." Peter let her go once she was steady on her feet. He quickly left the mess hall with a egg and bacon sandwich with American Cheese. He did not want any attention, but he could not help but to help someone.

The Mess Hall was in complete silence after witnessing Peter's lightning quick reflexes. Percy finally spoke up breaking some of the tension "That was cool."

Annabeth looked at Percy and asked "Is that all you can say?"

Percy shrugged and said "That was all I could think of at the time."

The girl was a daughter of Khione; she had black hair and brown eyes. She was shorter than most by standing five foot four inches. She was sixteen years old, but had yet hit her growth spurt. She was the only offspring of Khione, or at least the only one anyone was aware of. She was more powerful than the average demigod. She could influence winter and cause blizzards and snow storms, but in the summer she can only freeze thing with her touch and freeze water. Her name was Crystal. Crystal was a outcast due to her mother, but Percy and the gang try to befriend her and be nice, but she tends to give everybody the cold shoulder, and she does it well!

(Line Break)

Peter went to the forges where the Hephaestus's children usually worked at, it was the only metal shop there was. Peter asked one of the kids if he could use the forge, the cabin leader shrugged and said "Knock yourself out."

Peter went into the forge where he was going to make himself two blades; one will be made with Imperial Gold, and with three rubies on its handle, one for each arm guard and the other for the hilt. The second one will be made of sliver and another slivery like metal, the blade will have three sapphires one on the end of the hilt, the other two on each armguard. He added his claws with venom and toxins as well as some of his blood. He forged the blades and was careful to design them the way it would be best. Several hours later Peter was inspecting the blades seeing if there were any imperfections. He found none, except these were not 'his' weapons, but there felt the best. There were a close second to his original ones that is lost in his world somewhere.

Peter walked out of the forge with a large grin plastered on his face he could not wait to see how well they would work.

The blades were larger than must daggers, but smaller than a short sword. They were short enough to be worn on the arms to be used as a vambrace, but were long enough to give range when on the offensive. They were enchanted to only be weld by those of a pure heart and can be summed by Peter. There were more to the blades than meets the eye.

Peter made a scabbard for the blades and then he walked towards the arena to see if there was anybody was there.

When he got there was a son of Ares noticed him and bellowed in a loud voice getting everybody's attention "Well, well, well, if it isn't Puny Peter Parker."

Peter noticed the giant of a man; this son of Arse was six foot six inches and was built like a talk huge and muscular. He had a great broad sword strapped to his back. Peter ask the large man "What do you want?"

The man said "I am Mark, son of Ares! I heard you put Max in the infirmary! Max happens to be a close friend of mine!"

Peter rolled his eyes and said "Ok, which one of you is dumber and dumber?"

Mark bellowed "Come down here and fight me! I will squash you like a bug!"

Peter rolled his eyes and said "That is so cliché!"

"Come down here!" Mark bellowed.

Peter sighed and slipped through the top and dropped fifteen feet and landed on the ground in a crouch, his signature Spider Man crouch, he quickly got out of it. Peter said "I'm here tough guy."

Mark said with a smirk "Are you ready to get maimed?"

Peter rolled his eyes and said "Talk, talk, talk, that is all you do. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?'"

Mark unsheathed his giant sword and charged.

Peter waited till the last second before rolling out of the way. Mark it the wall making a giant crack in the wall. Peter smirked and taunted "Be Fi Foe Thumb, what bean stalk you fall from?"

Mark bellowed and charged this time Peter pulled out his golden blade along with his sliver blade and met the brute in the middle. There were a lot of sparks as the metals clashed. Peter had everything in his favor if he wanted to, but he chose to go ahead and have a little fun. He let the giant of a man knock out his golden blade, he slide between his legs and gave a savage kick to the groin.

Mark froze and cupped his now broken family jewels. Mark just stood there frozen cupping his groin in pain.

Peter walked in front and said "This is where the giant falls..." He Sparta Kicked Mark in the chest and sent him to the ground. Mark hit his head and fell unconscious.

Peter looked around and saw everyone staring at him Peter chuckled and thought "Are you not entertained?!" Peter instead said nothing as he quickly left the arena.

However before he could sneak away Percy stood in his way, Peter went to change direction then Jason was in his way he changed again and Nico was in his way. Peter growled lowly as he back up into the arena again.

Percy, Nico and Jason walked into the arena. Peter's eye's narrowed and he bit back a growl.

Percy held his hands up in surrender Percy said "Peter, relax."

Peter said with a slight growl "Easy to say when it feels like three to one. If you wanted to talk you should have waited for me to come back instead of surrounding and funneling me into a cage!"

Percy stopped and thought "I actually did not plan this. I was just going to talk with you."

Peter looked at Jason "I saw Percy wanting to talk to you and I have a few questions as well so I came another way to talk to you."

Nico shrugged and said "I thought it would be fun to corner you."

Peter growled at Nico.

Peter sighed and asked "Can you please put away you swords and you spear Jason? That would help me be less defensive."

Nico had a sword in hand a Percy had a hand in is pocket, and Jason held a spear. All three blushed and put away their weapon.

Peter said "Ok that is better, mind if we grab something to eat and drink?"

Percy's stomach growled causing him to blush. Annabeth said "I think that would be a smart idea."

"Sounds like a plan Wise Girl." Peter said with a chuckle.

The crowd stared at Peter and Peter knew it. Peter asked awkwardly "Did I say something wrong?"

Annabeth asked "How did you know my nick name?"

Peter shrugged and said "You are a daughter of wisdom and you seem to be very bright so..."

Percy said with a shrug "I guess that makes sense."

Peter sighed and said with a chuckle "Let's get something to eat; making these swords burned a lot of calories in the forge!"

The four of them went towards the Big House to see if they could get a bite to eat.

(Line Break)

Peter and the large group of Percy's friends (Piper, Jason and his sister, Nico and his two sister, Percy Annabeth, Will, Clarisse and Reyna).

They were talking a little bit about Peter's past though Peter never revealed much, but from what he did they had to pity him and marvel how he powered through it. Peter was unexpected to say the least, but they could tell he was a good person.

Chiron came trotting in and said "Capture the flag tonight!"

Peter arched an eyebrow and asked "What are the teams?"

Chiron said "The Hunters of Artemis vs the rest of the camp."

Peter said "That seems a little more than one sided..."

Nico huffed and said "They have not lost yet!"

Peter chuckled and said "Their luck is about to change."

Thalia huffed and asked "What is that suppose to mean boy?!"

Peter smirked and said "Like I have said I am an equalizer, an Avenger. Besides I could actually use a challenge."

Thalia said with pride "We have never lost."

Peter smirked and said "There is always a first time for everything."

Thalia said "You better watch your back!"

Peter chuckled and raised his hands in surrender and said in mock hurt "I thought we all were friends!" Peter gave a pouty face.

Percy said "She's my cousin and she hits me with lightning every time! And she has a temper!"

Thalia shouted "I do not have a temper!" Peter could smell ozone.

Peter muttered "I see otherwise..."

Thalia slapped Peter with an electrified hand. Peter was sent flying fifteen feet and when he hit a table he broke the table. Peter chose to allow the slap to char his cheek and to dislocate his jaw. Peter played unconscious.

Thalia rushed to Peter and saw his face with a red oozing burn mark on his cheek in the shape of a hand She saw his stomach and chest because when he hit the ground it tore what shirt he had left revealing to them hideous scars.

Will touched Peter's face and Peter's eyes snapped open and he flipped Will over his shoulder. Peter looked around wide eyed. Thalia said to Peter "I'm so sorry!"

Peter felt his cheek and winced in pain. Peter took a breath and said "You are forgiven, but if you do it again I cannot promise you anything. I have two fatal flaws, loyalty and grudges. I do not easy forgive."

Thalia looked at her feet in shame.

Peter gently lifted her head to eye level and said "Thalia I forgive you, please do not beat yourself up. You made a simple, honest mistake. I can heal pretty fast. I just need to eat a little more and take a nap. By the time capture the flag begins I should be normal enough to play."

No one said anything, but after a few minutes Peter yawned and said "Could I borrow a bunk in one of your cabins for a few hours?"

Annabeth said quickly "Sure, you can use my cabin."

Peter gave another yawn and she gave her a nod and said "Thank you Annabeth. I hope you let you mother know about me, cause I do not want trouble or to be cursed."

Annabeth rolled her eyes and replied "My mother would not do that!"

.Peter held up one finger and said "Arachne." He held up a second finger and said "Medusa."

Annabeth deflated at the memory.

Peter said in a comforting voice "Cheer up Annabeth! I am sure she will like me, after all if she is the goddess of wisdom than she should find me tolerable if not actually like me."

Annabeth broke a small and said "You're right."

Peter chuckled and said "You know guys; I actually think I will sleep near the hearth. It is warm and cozy there anyway."

They disagreed for several minutes while Peter simply walked away and sat in a chair next to the hearth and fell into a deep sleep, though his spider sense was ever alert. By the time they group finished arguing they say Peter fast asleep by the hearth.

They all quietly left him sleeping until the game begins...
