Percy Jackson and The Avengers

Wanda POV

"Woah." Tony said as he fixed the machines. "The kid has a serious past."

"The sad part is that you only saw a fraction of it." I sadly said as I try to comfort myself from the horrors that I found in his head. "You still haven't seen the worst of his past. The death of his friends are his breaking point but there is before that breaking point happened. There's a man doing horrid deeds on him and a girl."

I flinched a bit as I recall the glimpses of the man. I can still remember it vividly, when the man slash, stab, and whipped Percy and the blonde girl. I could even hear and imagine their screams and bloodied bodies now in my head.

"We will continue this conference tomorrow." Fury said as he walked out of the room.

"Dramatical as always." Tony muttered that cause him to receive a smack in the head by Natasha.

"Idiot." Natasha said.

"Maybe it would be better if we stay in the living room and discuss this." Bruce suggested which all of us agreed.

We all walked to the living room with our minds filled with the horrid events that happened to Percy. I could even tell that we all feel pity and sympathy towards Percy, without using my powers or observing so closely. I see their gloom expressions and saggy posture. When Steve arrived, he mumble the unfairness and cruelty of life that made us feel melancholy or even worse. Sitting on our individual seats, unable to talk more of the depressing discovery or any other topics.

"How old was Percy back then?" Steve broke the silence.

"17." Natasha said as she look at the floor with her arms crossed. "He was 17 back then, when his friends and colleagues died in front of him."

"Harsh." Tony mumble then averted his gaze from the floor to the big window beside him. "I can understand him now. Friends and family dying in front of you without doing anything to save them, it could really destroy a person's sanity and perspective. I can relate."

"We all are." I said. "We all have the fear of losing someone we love and someone we all care. It would really wound us, knowing that we couldn't do about their deaths. We all could relate to what he is going through but his pain is much worse than ours."

Silence fell upon us, after hearing my opinion. I feel that I have opened healed wounds by my words. Their glum faces tells me that I made them feel dejected or crestfallen. I let myself wonder on my own fears and self-doubts, knowing it's the best time to show weakness with the whole team. Then, something happened that evoke us to our senses.

An earsplitting scream filled the room that made us ran to the source of the sound. Natasha and Clint ran first, knowing who made the loud screaming sound. I could hear Clint mumble curse words as we all ran to the sound. We all stopped at the door of the newest member, who is now screaming profoundly. Clint, Natasha and Tony destroyed the door with vigorous strength. Knowing that Percy is in danger, Clint was about to ran to his side but was stopped by Percy, who is pointing a sharp double edged dagger to Clint with his eyes closed. We all stopped moving, looking at our predicament and Percy's dangerous action.

"You all are illusions!" Percy accused as he stepped back from Clint. "You all merely illusions and imaginations of them! You can't fool me this time! You will all torture me, if I let my guard down. I won't fall for your tricks this time."

We all stood still, as we assess our position. Clint pushed his hands away from him slowly, as he try to calm Percy down with his voice. Hearing Clint made Percy tighten his grip on the dagger but when he felt or hear Clint move, his threatening dagger came closer to the neck of Clint. With two inches between the dagger and the soft skin of Clint's neck, we all stepped back and Clint stood still in fright.

"Don't you dare move, shadow." Percy venomously growled. "Don't you even dare make me do what I did to your kind."

"Percy." Natasha said with an alarming yet calming tone. "Calm down. You don't have to do this."

"To do what!" Percy shouted with hostility. "To let my guard down!? Nice try but you won't fool me even for a second. You may have fooled me before but this time I won't."

"Percy." Clint softly said. "You are already out of the pit. He is not here."

"Nice try." Percy grunted then emplace the dagger on Clint's skin. "You done that before. It won't fool me!"

"Percy, please." I begged and saw Percy staggered a bit. "We are real. We all are here. You just have to open your eyes."

"No!" Percy shouted and deepened the dagger on Clint's neck, which drew blood. "You are all imitations of them! You are all not real! You frauds!"

"Percy." Natasha calmly said as she took a step forward. "We are not them. The dream of being free from him, is real. You are not in the pit. Just calm down."

"No." Percy shook his head. "This are all bunch of lies. You all been telling them yet it was all a lie. Don't make a fool out of me!"

Watching Percy trying to kill Clint is one of the horrors of my life. Not because Percy trying to kill my brother figure but also the look on his face and the intense aura around him. He may have his eyes closed but the way how calmly he would try to kill is like he have done this for a long time. The deathly aura around him intensify the danger on his calm look. Without thinking, I did what my instincts told me to.

I dashed to Percy, as the whole team shout in protest. I lunged at Percy and hugged him as Percy stepped back at the sudden movement. I could imagine what the cold tip of the blade on my nape feels like, as I hug the half-asleep person in front of me. I heard the whole team shout my name. Closing my eyes as I wait for the pain to come from my neck but something else happened.

I felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I looked up at Percy and saw him looking down at me with his eyes open. Seeing the pain and dullness in his eyes made me hugged him tighter but also comforting. I saw a tear rolled down on his face then his eyes rolled up to his eye sockets. After a few seconds, I felt his heavy weight on me, which cause me to yelp. Hearing my distress, Clint and Steve went to my side and carried Percy to his bed. The others left the room as I tucked Percy in his bed. I wiped the forming beads of sweat on his forehead with a with towel on his nightstand then walked out his room with a last glance.

Worrying for his mental and emotional state, I began to walk to where the whole team are.
