Hidden

Chapter 7: P.E.G.A.S.U.S.

(Flashback) *Percy POV*

"Agent Whirlpool. Good to finally meet you." Coulson said as I got out of the car.

"Agent Coulson. When is the Director supposed to arrive?"

"Within the next 15 minutes."

"Alright. I'll be inside, with the Hawk."

Yes. Technically I was still 'recovering' but I didn't need recovery. I was just a cover story, for, ya know, me being a goddess.

Nick wanted me to come help out with P.E.G.A.S.U.S. just in case it explodes I could contain the blast.

I climb up to the beams and sit next to Clint. "Hey Arrowhead."

"Emo-Ariel."

"So are we just waiting for Nicky?"

"Yep."

_---o0o---_

I was hiding in the rafters when the Norse God showed up. Though when Clint turned I decided to join the fight. I stepped in front of Nick and summoned my sword and armor.

"A Greek?" The god asked with venom.

"Greek? Greek?! I am no Greek! I once was but now I don't answer to any god!"

"So you lost your faith."

"You could say that?" He took a swing at me and I blocked it with my sword. He knocked me back and I fell to the ground.

"Nick RUN!"

Nick ran out of the room with Hill and Coulson. I kept fighting the god and Clint, who, I kept trying to talk out.

"Clint come on! Think of Laura! Think of your kids!"

Loki grabbed my arm while Clint had me pinned. "So you have power. The man has a heart. I need you both."

That's when I saw darkness.

Later on I saw the news. I had used my powers for Loki's gain.Now I have to live on the floor above him and his doof of a brother.

_---o0o---_

"-ercy. Percy. Percy!"

"Huh." I turned to see Steve with a hand on my shoulder.

"You know the punching bag is destroyed right?"

I looked back to see I had knocked the sand out of the bag. I looked down and saw my hands were raw and bloody.

"Let's get you cleaned up." Steve said, leading me to a bench. He grabbed a roll of bandages and started to wrap my hands. Though, even with Steve holding my hands I was shaking like a maraca. "Are you okay? What was that about?"

"...Just PTSD. I got a call from my cousin and... Things aren't looking too good."

"You want to talk about it?" He asked, handing me a box of tissues. I was crying and didn't even notice.

"I just... When I was younger I ran away from home. My cousin took me in... gave me everything. My family thought I was dead and I wanted it to stay that way. And... After the Chitauri Invasion... they are starting to think I'm alive."

"But... Why after New York?" Steve asked, genuinely curious.

"They saw my power for the first time in years. The power I hate using, the power I've tried to hide."

"Power? What... You? You were that person with Loki? The gifted who was able to take down Thor?"

"If my family finds me alive, they'll level the country to get me."

Steve mumbled something under his breath that I didn't catch.

"What?"

"The Gods will do anything to find me. That's what they always said."

"Who?"

"Back in the war. My friends were these... demigods, saying that I was in 'their war' that... it was a mythological war not a mortal one."

"No Steve, who said those words exactly?"

"Someone with the same powers I saw you use. Peggy. Peggy Carter."

I recognized the name from SHIELD files and from the Gods. I knew exactly who she was...

"My half-sister."
