Tony Stark's P.O.V. (First Person)
The kid jerked up, sweating and panting. His clothes were bloody and wet...and so was my couch. I had to stop myself from pushing him off the couch and hugging it. The kid was screaming just moments before, and now he looked as if nothing had happened. It was like the blood and pain near his abdomen didn't affect him at all. The tension was so thick, you couldn't cut it with one of Natasha's daggers.
Bruce decided to point that out, "You're bleeding."
Percy inspected himself, "Huh, what do you know? I am."
I gaped at him, "That's your reaction? You were screaming, and now you're bleeding."
He just shook his head, "I've had worse." He groaned, "But, I could use some help to the bathroom. Peter?"
I just stood there, "Okay what do you mean, you've had worse? Also, who's Peter?"
Percy just rolled his eyes, " One, none of your beeswax. Two, it's Spiderman."
Everyone just stared at him with wide eyes before Natasha spoke up, "How'd you know that? His new suit has a voice modulator to alter the sound of his vocal chords."
Percy tilted his head, "A voice modu-what? And, no, his voice sounds the same to me."
Peter stepped up, his mask now down, "Perce, care to explain your situation?"
Percy grimaced, "I'd rather not. Help me to the bathroom?"
Peter nodded and helped Percy up. Leaning his body weight on Peter, they left to the bathroom. I looked back at the couch, "Friday, order a new couch..."
"Yes, sir." Friday said to me.
Suddenly, Thor appeared in all his glory. He stepped out of the elevator, his eyes fearful. Someone else stepped out from behind him. Loki. The Avengers were on him in an instant, at least they would've been if Thor hadn't stopped us. He waved us away and made us clear the path so that Loki could step into the living room.
Natasha glared at Loki, "What is he doing here?"
Thor looked at Natasha, "He's here to help. Where is the hero?"
I stepped into the conversation, "Hero? I'm right here."
Thor pushed me aside, "Not you, Man of Iron. I mean Perseus."
"Oh, he went to the bathroom." I told him, scowling. Clint was chuckling. I threw a plastic water bottle at him and hit him in the head.
"So, it's true then. He's here." We all turned our heads to the speaker, Loki. He just rolled his eyes, "Good to see you too."
Natasha just growled, "What can you do to help. As far as I know, you have no good bones in your body."
Thor gripped her shoulder, "Calm down, Natasha. My brother-"
"Adopted!" Loki cried.
Thor rolled his eyes, "He can help Perseus with his nightmares."
Bruce, who just standing there quietly, finally had the guts to speak, "How?"
Loki answered, "I can enter his mind and see what he is dreaming about. I can try and either make the dream milder or pull him out, depending on how much energy I have."
Thor nodded, "We might be demigods but our powers rival those of the gods."
"Wait. Hold up. I thought you were the god of hammers or something?" Clint asked, eating some skittles.
I knocked the skittles out of his hand as Thor chuckled, "I call myself the God of Thunder, Eye of Hawk. And I am. However, I do not have the gods' blood. I have red blood whereas the gods have golden blood, ichor. This makes me equivalent to a demigod. Now, if you please, we have to find Perseus."
"No need." A voice said, from the hallway. Percy was standing there, healed and well. Peter was next to him, now completely out of his suit. He was just Peter Parker now. Percy gave Thor a nod of acknowledgement, "Who's Reindeer Games over there? With the-" He gestured to Loki's horned helmet.
"That's what I used to call him!" I yelled.
Loki just rolled his eyes, "Perseus, young hero."
Percy flinched, "Just Percy. And you still didn't answer my question."
Loki bowed, "I am Loki Odinson, Adopted," he shot a look at Thor, "son of Odin."
Percy nodded, "And I'm Percy...son of Jack? I mean, my name is Jackson so, I guess. But then again-"
Thor cut him off, "He's here to help you, Percy. And your nightmares."
Percy frowned, "Nope. No way. No thank you. My head is already messed up as it is. I don't want people tampering with it."
Thor furrowed his eyebrows before saying to him, "It's better than having the Avengers find out your secret. You would endanger everyone. Please, your nightmares need to be taken care of before they try and figure them out."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "Figure what out?"
Thor sighed in exasperation, "Your dreams and identity."
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Yeah, okay that makes sense." Percy said, nodding to Thor, "But I can't sleep now. That nightmare woke me up."
Bruce stepped up, "You should rest. You were bleeding just a moment ago. Speaking of bleeding...WHY AREN'T YOU BLEEDING ANYMORE?!"
Percy chuckled, "You want me to bleed?"
Bruce turned red in embarrassment, "Well no but-"
"Then, there's no need to worry. I'm healed now. All good." Percy said.
Bruce just stood there sputtering, "T-That should be physically impossible. It breaks all the rules of modern medicinal science."
Percy grinned, "I'm an expert at breaking the rules."
Thor and Loki was just laughing. No, that's literally it. They were laughing. At us. The rest of the Avengers, including Peter and I, were so confused. We just stood there, as Percy joined in on the laughter. Everything that Thor had said to Percy and everything Percy had said back, was so utterly confusing and extremely hard to process.
Of course, Percy had to stop laughing, causing all the tension that was previously in the air, to come back and, if possible, thicken. Percy stared at Thor, "I have to get to camp. It's the only way I can sleep again, and I need to go there anyway for some news."
Thor and Loki looked at each other, "May we accompany you, young hero? It would be an honor to meet the rest of your friends."
Percy seemed to think about it a little before saying, "Maybe not today, Thor. But tomorrow? At like three or something?"
Thor squealed, (I will never get used to saying that) and Loki just smirked. I fumed, "I wanna come too!"
Percy shook his head, "That's not a good idea. We don't bring mor- outsiders into camp unless they have ADHD and Dyslexia. It's a camp for that."
"I thought you only went to camp in the summer?" Natasha asked.
Percy nodded, "Usually I do, but the rest of my friends live there. It's a year round camp that also deals with people who have...familial issues. Now if you'll stop mothering me, I'm gonna pack my overnight stuff before I go." Percy turned on his heel and jogged to his room, apparently throwing in some essentials because he came not even a minute later.
He just shrugged at us, "I left some of my stuff there. I don't need to pack everything." He turned to Thor and Loki, "I trust you guys to keep them from following me as I jump out the window."
"JUMP OUT THE WINDOW?!" Everyone screamed.
Percy just gave us mock salute before running to the nearest window, opening it, and jumping out. We all wanted to follow him, but Thor and Loki just kept as far away from the window as possible. I could barely even see anything, but I would stake it on my super suit, I saw a flying horse, with Percy on it, fly away.
