| Percy Jackson |
I sobbed and sobbed until I couldn't anymore
After I fell into Nico's arms I just cried and cried and the more I tried to stop, the more I cried and I couldn't help it, I felt useless I couldn't even stop my friends from dying and now I had to go a quest with mortals. Why do the fates hate me so much?
I pulled back from Nico's arms and realised that every God was staring at me with pitiful looks they knew how much pain I had gone through but according to them they couldn't get involved with a demigods life because of Ancient Laws, which basically means a demigods path is a long, painful and lonely one
"Son, are you alright?" Posiedon asks me concern glittering in his sea-green eyes
Nodding I shuffle my feet against the golden tiled floor I was uncomfortable I wasn't sure of anything but that feeling of being uncertain that was like a rope around my chest that pulled tighter every time I tried to move and I just wanted to get out of here and be alone curled up in a ball in a dark room and ... cry
But I knew I couldn't
It wasn't fair, but it what a demigod's life was
A demigods life was hardly ever fair
"Father is it okay if I take Percy back to the tower, he needs to rest" Nico looks between the three brothers speaking for me as it seems at this moment in time I had lost all ability to speak for myself
Zeus speaks first though and just has to remind me of the importance of this quest. Doesn't he know already that I have lead and survive two wars and watched the people I held close to me died? So even if I didn't want to be it looked like I was in for another war "Remember Perseus Jackson the fate of our world rests on your shoulders and mortals you cannot tell anyone of our existence if you did the world would be in chaos"
Then there was a blinding flash of light and when my eyes adjusted again I found myself in the tower again along with Nico and the rest of the Avengers. The clear-sighted mortals seemed too shocked and dazed to do anything
"Hey, Perce, now might not be the greatest time to tell you but I gotta go back to Camp, my only job was to find you and get you to help with the attack on the hill and Will's probably freaking out since I said I wasn't staying so he'll probably expect me back I wish I could stay though but I really need to go"
"It's fine Nico, you got your own life to live you can't babysit me constantly go back to Camp be with Will and the others because you never know when they'll be gone," I say my voice cracking slightly and too my own surprise Nico pulls me into a hug
When he pulls back he had a slight smirk on his face "See ya Kelp Head"
"See you Death Breath" I chuckle weakly
I watch him as he waves his hand shyly at me before leaving me alone in a room full of mortals who have just had the shock of their lives I turn towards them they still seem shocked so I just walked away to find a room because I needed rest
--------
A soft knock to the door woke me up and I yawn slightly before opening the door after untangling myself from the bedsheets. To be honest my little nap didn't do much as I was plagued with memories of Annabeth and my time in Tartarus
Bruce Banner stood opposite me as he paled slightly before speaking to me, his voice was merely a whisper and he spoke to me with a trace of fear in his voice "W-We've ordered Pizza if you want to come down and after you can get to know the team a little more"
"Okay thanks, Bruce" I let my lips flip up into a ghost of a smile
"No problem" He grins back and starts to turn away before he turned back "It'll be alright kid, you know we'll get your girlfriend back" He smiles once more before walking away
"Hey, Bruce can you show me where you are all eating?" I ask managing to catch him before he goes too far across the room
"Yeah just follow me down the elevator. . . " He says and I shake my head quickly not wanting to go into the elevator because I had been scared of stepping in any elevator even the elevator in Olympus but I have to survive the elevator up to Olympus otherwise I avoid elevators any other time
"Can we take the stairs?" I ask hopefully and he scratches the back of his head
"Are you sure it's like 15 flights?" He asks a suspicious brow cocked in my direction
"Yeah when I fell into T-Tartarus Annabeth and I went through something mortals call The Doors of Death and it led us down into the pit like an elevator so that is why I hate going in elevators if I can help the situation," I tell Bruce my voice shaking as I try to retell the tale of what happened in Tartarus
"I get what you mean I tried everything to keep my anger under control whatever it was I took it trying to keep myself calm and collected things worked for a while but the other guy always found a way to come out no matter what I tried and then the other guy kind of broke Harlem when my girlfriend Betty Ross got hurt by the other guy," Bruce says scratching the back of his neck in an awkward manner
"I hear you, one to many times have me and my friends have blown up this while fighting off monsters once I blow up St Louis Arch and a car park while I was trying to rescue Annabeth" A ghostly smile tipping my lips up
I may not like the idea of going into another war but at least I'm getting to know the team
