Steve's POV

When Bruce told her that he was going to be evaluating her health the mood in the room plummeted ed as did he temperature and I could tell that she wasn't happy about this subject and would probably hide as much as she could.

"Okay Persephone" Bruce started

"Percy" she interrupted him and he looked at her in wonder "things only say my full name if they are an enemy of mine, do you want to be an enemy of mine" Bruce shook his head and she smiled saying 'good'.

"I am going to ask you a few questions and I want you to answer them the best you can" he said and she put up a finger.

"Are they yes no questions, one word answer questions, or full answer questions" she said and he looked at her curiously and well as us, why would she like that.

"All of them actually" he said and she sighed

"Fine, go on" she said an s Bruce cleared his throat

"First do you have and living relatives" he said and she brightened a little

"Yes I do actually an undersea brother, a brother the is a blacksmith, lots of cousins and aunts, and my father and who was lost at sea, I still don't believe he's dead"

"Okay do you have any injuries and how if so" he said and her eyes blazed with anger

"Why" she asked angry

"Because I need to know what they are from"

"There are too many too gruesome for your mind to comprehend" she said and all our mouths fell open in shock, how many.

"How many do you have" he asked thinking the same as us "would you show us please"

"No" was all she said before clasping her hands and lighting up awkwardly "now for my questions to you"

"Yes"

"Why is your blood mutated" she asked and Bruce was shocked "I can smell it, see it, and you changed during our little fight in the street" he made an 'oh' look.

"I experimented on myself and the experiment mutated my cells and made me invincible when I'm human and the other guy"

"Why don't you embrace your nature like I have"

"I don't know how" he said with a blank voice like he was mad this time

"I don't know how" he said " I just change when I'm angry"

"Fine when we get to a nice field I'll show you how to control yourself in both forms, and then you'll be able to control them both equally" she said and then stood

"Whoa, whoa we aren't done yet" Bruce said blocking her from the doorway and she growled lowly and turned to the wall. Then she put her hands to the wall and pushed making a section of the wall slide in and over and she stepped through and dropped through the air on the side of the tower and Bruce ran into a wall as he tried to see if she was okay.

Percy's POV

I dropped out of the wall and slowed down time so that I could cut a hole in the glass a floor below and the I use the stairs to get to go to the others and I opened the door as I unfroze time and everyone freaked out. Which made Clint and Natasha get out their weapons and a second later I had a couple arrows in my chest as well as a couple bullets and one in my head.

"Ow" I joked looking out the glass window to see Bruce walking in circles around the table mentally beating himself up over what I did, and then I looked at the others before absorbing the metal making the hilt of a knife fall to the floor and I pulled out the shafts of the arrows as my wounds healed "that hurt my soul" I smiled and saw their horrified faces.

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad I mean it pinched a little but it didn't hurt" I said and Natasha exploded.

"Didn't hurt you should be dead" she said not putting in that it would've been partially her fault "don't sneak up on us like that"

"Sorry, sorry, sheesh I didn't know you'd get so moody about it" I said and then left to train leaving them shocked, slightly angry, and horrified. I made three metal robots that were my level of fighting and then I got out Slayer and Reaper bored and then I started to fight them. I guess that I got a little better since they were only piles of metal pieces and scrap metal. I turned around and reformed Slayer into my bow as I made Reaper go back to it's band form. I was about to release the arrow and then I saw that it was only Natasha. 

"What do you want" I said turning back around and putting away my bow, and getting out six hunting knives and throwing three sideways at the targets at the end of the arena, and I was glad that my belt was enchanted because I never would run out of knives, and I would use so many that they would just disappear after hitting their target and I could just make the knives in my hand as I threw them but I didn't need to do that now. 

"I wanted to apologize for how I shot you back there and yelling at you" she said and I faltered on a throw before putting it back in my belt and turning around to face her. 

"No I'm sorry for getting mad, I don't have a really good past as you know, and for reasons that you wouldn't understand" I said and then I went back to throwing knives faster than anything until the targets centers were a big messes, and then I stopped and made the targets recede into the structure of the building and I mentally checked the time. 

"I'm going to go for a run before bed, and if you want to join I have to tell you that you are not going to be able to catch up with me" I said walking past her as my training area receded and I walked into the wall, traveled down the structure by remolding my body, and then reforming at the main doors as I walked out. Then I started a slow jog and started to run, I knew that she put a tracker on my, but I didn't care. I just wanted to clear my head and get things off of my system. Maybe I could go to the ocean and then take a short swim before coming back. 

"Hey" I almost punched Steve when he came up to me jogging as well "Natasha said you were going out for a run, and I thought that I could join you on one" 

"Why because you don't trust me to go to one of America's Military bases and destroy the hell out of it, or because you just wanted to test me on my running" I said smirking and he seemed to pale a little at the base thing

"No I just wanted to run with you" he said and I smiled evilly

"Okay then lets see how fast you can go" I said and then shot a head and slowed down to a normal human's running pace, he shot ahead of me and I matched his pace before shooting ahead of him, and the city was a blur as I headed for the beach on the other side of the state. He turned and I used my Earth powers to see where he was going and where our destination was, and then he stopped and fell to the ground. I stopped and went full speed until I was right next to him, and I saw that there was a dart in the side of his neck. 

I looked around and then I felt something in the air change. I reached up to grab the object but I saw it go in slow motion around my hand and into my arm. WHAT, I felt dread as my body became heavier and then I crushed the tracker right before I fell to the ground and into darkness. 

I was strapped to a table and then I saw Sneethno come in and she had a wicked, jagged knife. 
"Take off her ssshirt" she hissed and the two guards next to me cut off my shirt and then Sneethno came over and stabbed my shoulder making me scream in pain. All I could do was cry and scream in pain as she carved her knife into my shoulder and made the words deep and big to cause more pain. 
"That'sss how you should be ssseen as from now on, a traitor to your kind and your family" she hissed and dug the blade into my other shoulder and started to carve more words hissing with maliciousness.
"You ssshall be ssseen as an outcassst and a traitor to all" she hissed "especially your own kind" I screamed again as she stabbed my leg and left with the blade still embedded in my skin, and then Gabe came in, and I spit on him trying to hide my pain. 
"Oh I am not going to take advantage of your body just yet my pet, but Tartarus has made me a deal that he gets to own my soul and I get to torture you while your down here, and in the future" he said and I felt fear for the first time in my life. 
"What are you going to do" I growled and he laughed before pushing down a lever and the entire table turned around and the back of it slid into the floor as I was retied magically to a whipping post and a whip with jagged black tips and then I saw something new about them as he picked them up making them whirr. 
"You see these have saws that cause more damage, and since you can't be harmed by silver which is the top choice when hurting your kind" he came over to me and I felt the blade in my leg shift making me scream out painfully again, and then more when he wrenched it out "it is made of monster metal, and cursed to cause the victem with unbearable pain till either their death or until they are close to it, and the wounds it causes slowly and painfully heal causing months or years of pain" he whispered in my ear and then I heard him walking away. Then I felt a pain in my back that felt like a thousand skies with nails for a surface on my back and my vision became fuzzy after ten and I lost my voice after another twenty, and then I lost count after a hundred and passed out a long while later. 

I shot up in bed touching my back to feel it wet and dripping with silver, and then I paled when I realized where I was. I was back, and I limped over to the next cell to see Steve in the cell next to me sleeping peacefully. I gripped the bars and slowly slid to the ground as my wounds painfully healed making me groan and grit my teeth from the pain. 

"I hear your a primordial now huh Persephone" a familiar voice came around the side of the cell and I paled even more when  realized who it was, Tartarus. 

"You're screaming as I dragged you back down here was beautiful and I can't wait to hear some more" she said and I spit on his feet.

"You will never hear me scream again" I said "and your minions and torture forms will never break me" 

"What about taking advantage of the body that you have" he smiled and I smiled back as his faded

"You can't I am blessed and sworn to never be able to have children or sex, so think of another way to abuse me in that way...oh wait there isn't" SMACK. I flew across the room as his hand went through the bars and hit my face hard. I got up smiling and he growled and walked off, and I went to the little window in the side of my cell and I saw Steve looking at me with sorrow and hurt. 

"Don't feel bad for me, I'll get us out" I said and then I screamed as I dropped through the floor and threads of chain came frying up and bound my wrists, legs, and waist connecting together with a long chain. 

"Okay I have some new toys that I can use, and because you insulted me earlier and killed your stepfather, my minion, before escaping last time, I am going to cause you as much pain as possible, even if you don't give me the pleasure of screaming" Tartarus said as he held up a long knife "shall we...I begin" he grinned sadistically and dragged the knife along my arm creating a long cut. 

"I have a new metal, and it's named after me" he said "Tartarus metal curses the victim with unbearable pain until they kill themselves, die from their wounds, or go insane" he said "no one has been able to resist or survive the blade, I've even tried it on myself, and it's as painful as it is told to be" but I didn't feel any pain, unless you count the stinging of the cut as pain.

Thanks for reading and I believe that I may be going through a writers block, but it may fade in a day or so, or a couple hours. Anyways I'll have the next chapter out soon, 2304 words, 6-1-18.
