Percy POV

I do not want to be here. I want to be in the Underworld with my wise girl. That stupid doctor shouldn't have saved me.

Now I'm stuck in with these so called heroes in a stupid tower. The doctor is following me everywhere and won't let me out of his sight. I can feel everyone watching me. There's this weird guy with arrows and a girl in a cat suit that look over every once in awhile during their game of Call of Duty. They are sitting five feet in front of the TV while I am sitting on a couch facing it about ten feet away. Blondy and his brother are sitting on the seats on either side of the couch. Blondy has been carrying me everywhere since I don't have a wheelchair yet. Apparently there is some kind of flag man in the gym working out.

They still haven't introduced me to everyone so I have no clue who everyone is. I'm pretty for sure I'm with the group called the "Avengers" (who think they saved the world). The flag man must be Captain America, I've grown up hearing tales about him. Besides him, I have no idea who anyone else is.

A flash of red suddenly swung into the room. We were on the 50th floor of the Tower. I quickly pulled out my pen, that was somehow still in my pocket, and looked at the potential threat.

It was holding six pizza boxes and though its mouth was covered, it said, "Hey guys! I brought dinner."

Arrow man jumped up, "Awesome! Spidey, you are my best friend."

Everyone slowly got up and went to the kitchen that was just to the left of where we were sitting. Of course, since I couldn't move, I had to stay where I was.

"What is this pizza you have brought?" Loki questioned the spider guy. The way he said pizza almost made me smile. It sounded so foreign on his tongue.

"You haven't tried pizza, man! What is wrong with you?"

"I am new to Midgard, you mortal."

The only woman in the group quickly grabbed a slice and went back to her game as the boys started to argue about what kind of pizza was better. It was mostly Blondy, Arrow dude, and spider guy. The spider guy still hasn't taken his mask off. He seems to be their friend. But there is something about this dude that seems familiar but I can't place it.

I am so zoned out I barely hear spider guy.

"Hey, do you want some pizza?" He is still over by the kitchen counter, but is looking over at me. I nod not wanting to speak. I just turn Riptide over in my hands while thinking on how I know this kid.

Then it hits me. It's Peter Parker, we go to the same high school. We are even in the same grade. I used to go hang out at his place all the time before the second war. Now, I haven't even seen him until now.

He walks over and hands me my plate, "Here you go"

"Thanks Peter." I say casually looking directly into where his costume has his eye holes.

"What... I'm not Peter... I'm Spiderman" He deins. Its obvious he's lying.

"Give it up Peter, you're not fooling anyone." A new voice says. I look in the direction it came, it must be Captain America.

Peter sighs as he pulls off his mask, "How did you know Perce?"

"You're voice gave you away. We've know each other since we were little. Maybe you should look into a voice changer or something." I say softly. I don't feel like talking a whole lot.

After being asked a few questions, they got the hint I didn't want to talk about my past. I quietly nibble on my pizza not eating more this half of one slice. Maybe if I can't die of poison, lack of food will surely kill me.

About a half hour later, I mumble softly, "Can I go to my room now?"

Bruce is the first to reply, "Percy, you barely ate. But if you are full, Thor can take you to your room."

Thor is just about to get up when Loki says, "It's okay, I can take him. His chambers are right next to mine anyways. I was about to head to them."

And with that, Loki stands to his full height and casts some sort of magic over me. All of the sudden, I am floating about two inches in the air and Loki starts walking towards the elevator. Wherever he goes, I float just behind him. It's like I am his shadow. I stay near the ground and him at all times as he leads me to my room. Thankfully Loki does not try to talk to me while he takes me. He seems to know what I want, which is to be left alone.

As he takes me into my room and sets me onto my bed. Loki states, "Perseus, you are worth living. Annabeth would not want you back so soon, no matter what."

He snaps his fingers, then shuts the door. By snapping his fingers, I am changed into my sleep wear. Which is just a simple pair of shorts. I somehow manage to get under the covers and fall asleep instantly.

Peter Parker's POV

This is not the Percy I know. Last year, he was his happy, crazy self. Today, he is broken. So broken that you can see it in his eyes. What in the world could have happened between then and now to make him this way?

"Peter, you know Percy, has he always been like this?" Bruce Banner asks me once Loki takes Percy to his room.

I shake my head, "No. Percy used to be so happy and carefree. He was such a fun guy. He is like my brother. It's been about a year since I've seen him. Something horrible must have happened to make him like this."

Clint suddenly seemed interested, "Percy looks like the kind of guy that has a lot of secrets."

"He's seen death, many deaths. He looks and acts like a soldier." Steve pitches in.

"Percy has the symptoms of PTSD, but there hasn't been any wars in the past year. So what could have happened?" Natasha questions.

We all ponder the question. My best friend is not alright. I want to help but I don't know how. Maybe as a team we can help him be himself again.

Then an idea popped into my head, "Hey! I have some pictures of him from before all of this"

I dug my phone out of my pocket (I changed into my regular clothes) and pulled the pictures up. Tony made Jarvis able to receive messages from our phones that way it was easier to show funny pictures and videos. I quickly sent it to him and asked him to pull them up.

The first picture was Percy and I at school, just after we seriously messed up our lab experiment in Chemistry. We both were smiling widely at the camera, we both seemed so happy and proud of the mess we made.

"You guys look so happy" Loki, who had just entered the room, stated.

"I cannot believe this is the same guy" Bruce added.

We went through a few more similar pictures, then got stuck on one with Percy and his girlfriend Annabeth.

They were both wearing orange shirts and were smiling at each other. Love was clearly on their faces. They were at some sort of camp and had beaded necklaces on.

"Who's the girl?" Natasha asked

"Her name is Annabeth Chase. She has known Percy since they were twelve. They see each other at this summer camp every year. She lives in California or something." I answered

"Jarvis, look up this girl please." Natasha called out to him.

Jarvis quickly showed many pictures, news articles, and her SHIELD file. Her file, like Percy's, was very thin. However, it did include an address and number to her parents house. The last time this girl had been spotted was in Greece performing suspected acts of terrorism with Percy and some other kids. It was the last time any of them had been seen, except for Percy.

"Jarvis, call Annabeth's house number please." Steve's voice ran out of the silence we had from reading the file.

"Who wants to talk?" I ask.

Natasha is the first to answer, "I will, I'm probably the best for this."

"Hello?" A male's voice came from the phone speakers.

"Hi, this is a friend of Annabeth's. I was wondering if I could talk to her. I'm from Camp." Dang, she is a good actor. She had this girly voice going and really did sound like a seventeen year old girl.

The man's voice broke as he talked, "You haven't heard...?"

"Heard what? Sorry it's been awhile since I've been to camp."

"She died, along with the rest of the Seven. Percy was the only one to make it back alive. Even Nico died. Didn't Chiron contact you about all of this?"

"I'm so sorry Mr. Chase. I had no idea. If you need anything, I'm sure Chiron and the rest of camp is there to help."

"Thank you darling. Be careful, good night."

Jarvis ended the call.

Thor was the first to say anything, "I did not know the Giant War was this bad."

"Neither did I. Perseus was the only one to make it back home." Loki responded solemnly.

Okay. I'm confused, what war?

It took me a moment to realize I probably ask that and not think it. Sadly, Clint beat me to it.

"What on earth are you two talking about? There hasn't been a war in a year. And if there was, why would teenagers be fighting it?"

"Eye of Hawk, it is not my place nor my brother's to tell Perseus's story. We do not know the full of it either. The tales of this last war has not yet reached Asgard. Young Percy is know as a noble hero and loyal friend. Mothers tell their children the stories of Percy and his friends."

Loki then took over, "He has saved the world more times then you can count. If you compare the Avengers to him, this team has barely done anything. Perseus is the greatest asset you can have, or your worst enemy."

I'm still confused. "What on earth are you guys talking about? I think my friend might have told me some of his adventures, right? He's my best friend. I think I would know if he saved the world."

Captain answered for me, "I think Percy wanted to keep you safe. So for whatever he faced, it wouldn't come after you. This kid seems to lead a secretive life."

"Sounds familiar" Clint nudged Natasha with a smile. Natasha return the favor by punching him in the arm. I feel bad for the poor guy. That smack sounded painful and you'd think he'd know by now not to mess with her.

"Okay enough talk for now," Bruce said. "We need to get some sleep. It's almost midnight. Tomorrow is going to be rough."

It's that late! Aunt May is going to kill me!

"I gotta swing guys," I said pulling on my suit. "My aunt is going to skin me alive. She thinks I'm at the library."

They called out a half-hearted goodbye as I jumped out a window Jarvis opened for me.

Hopefully she doesn't ground me for life.
