Percy Jackson and The Avengers

11

Clint POV

Remembering the look on his face, when he threatened me with a dagger, made me wonder what really happened before he joined SHEILD. I know his story because of the projections on the screen and the night terrors he is having. But he won't let go his pain. Especially the time when he and his fiancee was in the pit. He told me that he was tortured by a powerful person and cursed him, which affects his sleeping patterns and mental health. I couldn't shake off the feeling of being threatened by him even though I was out of his reach. Although this situation happened a lot of times, yet this time it seemed to be something darker and more dangerous than the previous attempts.

Shaking my head mentally, I refocused my attention at the two hugging teenagers in front me. Watching him tighten his grip on the shirt of Wanda made me anticipate the sudden assault towards Wanda. I could tell Natasha is thinking the same way as I do based on the fighting of Natasha and the concentrated look on her.

We both grabbed the stun gun that Percy given us during our second mission together. He would usually say that this stun gun is for him and nobody else. I remember the time he would tell us to use this if he ever became a bit too far from his right mind. And I think this is the one he is referring to.

Pulling out the stun gun caused the other Avengers, except Natasha, to protest at our actions. We ignored their protests and advanced slowly to the two teenagers. Then, suddenly, something happened we thought could never happened.

We saw Percy released his tight grip on her shirt then slump forward to Wanda. We set aside the stun guns and help the grunting Wanda from the heavy weight that suddenly fell upon her. With shocked faces, we carried Percy to his bed and tucked him in. I looked at Natasha with a knowing look on my face and she gave me a small nod as she recomposed herself from shock. We looked back to the sleeping teenager with worry crossing in our features; but Natasha's worried face isn't evident as mine.

We both knew that no one can pull Percy out of his episodes but the person he love. He would usually put a fight or show violence before falling back asleep from his episodes. Looking at him as his eyebrows scrunched up a bit then shifted to his left, where Natasha sat and the wide windows can be located.

"Is he going to be okay?" We heard Wanda asked, causing the two of us to break the worry gazes on him to her. Seeing her look at the sleeping teen with worry made us feel the uncertainty of our situation doubled.

"He will be fine." I reassured her with a small smile. But, I think I did it more for Natasha and I. "He wouldn't be an Avenger if he won't be okay."

She looked back at me with pain lacing in her eyes then back to Percy.

"I felt something, when I hugged him." Wanda lowly said as Percy shifted to the right. "I meant, I felt a little bit of his pain which I haven't practiced or tried doing with my powers yet. I know for sure that he is in misery, a very painful misery, if I felt it without using my powers. I also felt some surpassing dark memories in him."

She slowly crept beside Natasha and grabbed Percy's hand then gave him a gentle squeeze of worry. "Please be okay. Everyone is worried for you." She mumbled.

Minutes had passed, Percy stopped shifting from left to right and gave out a long sigh then fell into a peaceful sleep. The other Avengers and Wanda walked out of the room after knowing that Percy is in the safe hands of Natasha and I.

Leaving the both of us here made us think about the problem we are having. I heard Natasha stood up and sat beside me, while I looked below at my intertwined fingers between my knees. I felt Natasha placed her hand on my shoulders and gave me a reassuring look, knowing that I would feel exhausted and downcast.

We both knew the situation will be more difficult when he came back and knew the brewing war. So far, he still haven't heard the upcoming war.

"Are you really sure that he would be alright?" Natasha grimly said. "You seemed to reassure yourself more than Wanda."

"You know me too well." I said and grabbed her left hand, that is on my shoulder, and cupped it with my hands. I shifted to face her and saw her with a crestfallen expression on her. "I know he will be alright. He went through a lot of obstacles in life that made him stronger and wiser to face this war."

"Are you sure?" Natasha looked at Percy with worry. "We both know that he would come here and took Percy from us and the people around him. I don't that to happen again, now that we know some of his plans for Percy."

"He will conquer this." I optimistically  said. "We will win this war and save him from that deleterious man. Have faith."

"I do have faith in everyone." She sighed and pulled her hand from me. "Let's just hope for the best."

With that, she left me with her words ringing inside my head.
