Percy Jackson and The Avengers

Percy POV

I woke up with a painful headache, that cause me to groan loud and grabbed my head. I sat up but I felt two hands gently pushed me back to bed. I snapped my head to the person, who pushed me to bed, and Bruce sadly smiling at me. The sudden action worsen my headache, that cause me to groan in pain and close my eyes again, as I lay my head again on the soft pillow.

"Do you need anything?" Bruce asked. "Water? Medicine? Food?"

"Water, would be nice." I hoarsely replied, after realizing the dryness of my throat. "Food would be pointless."

"You need food, no matter what." A female voice said sternly.

I opened my eyes and looked at the direction of the female voice. I could feel myself paled, just by looking at Natasha, who is carrying a bowl of soup and a glass of water, as she walked towards me.

"Nat, I told you that food would be useless in my current state." I groaned.

"But that doesn't mean that you should starve to death." Clint walked beside Natasha and grabbed the glass of water. Then, gave me the glass of water.

I stretched out my hand to grabbed the glass, as the pain doubled. I grabbed the glass and immediately drank its contents. The pain slowly lessen and the dryness of my throat gone, as I finished the glass of water. I asked for another glass of water, as I give back the glass to Clint. He looked content at my request and went to get another glass of water.

"Don't ignore the food, Percy." Natasha said.

"I will." I said stubbornly. I looked to the other side of Natasha, then I heard Natasha placed the bowl on the table beside me.

I saw a monitor and wires connected to me. Realizing what's going on, I looked at the Avengers, who are at the back of the room and avoiding my gaze. I could see some have red puffy eyes like Natasha, some have pity looks on their faces.
I hate that look, especially now that they now a bit of my past.

"Let me guess on what you saw." I said, as I pretendedly thinking. "You saw my friends die, did you?"

Some nodded slowly, while the others stare at the ground, not having the heart to admit on what they saw is real. I saw Clint came beside my bed with Natasha, Fury and Steve in tow.

"Good thing, that you only saw that." I whispered to myself as I sat up. What I didn't realize and noticed that the whole team is quietly watching me and listening to every word I would say.

"What do you mean?" Wanda asked with red puffy eyes. "I saw some glimpses of you being chained up with a girl and a man whipped you."

I turned my head immediately to her, as she mentioned the word chains. I could tell that I was giving her the cold stare that most of SHIELD's agents uncomfortable, by her averted gaze from me to the floor. I soften my gaze, as I realized that she is only trying to help and wanted to know more about me. That's the scariest part of me, knowing my past and my experiences. Good thing, she only saw glimpses of them.

"If I were you, I won't pry on other's past; especially, when you saw the glimpses and the death of my family." I coldly said.

I saw her flinched at my tone and tears started to welled up, which cause me to want to whack myself for making her teared up. I bite back my promise and controlled my emotions.
