Clint's P.O.V

Percy was either like a little brother to me, we were watching the movie when Tony shook my leg and indicated toward Percy who's hand was twitching every now and then. Oh no, he was having a nightmare.

See he has gotten good at hiding it, to just sighs of twitching but what really is happening is much more terrible.

I look over at Natasha and throw some popcorn at her she glares while I indicate toward Percy, her face softens and we move over to him.

The others paused the movie at what was happening. We shook him slightly and he woke up and sucked in a breath of air and bit his lip. I pulled him into a hug, "Same one?" I whispered knowing the answer.

He nodded and once he was okay and indicated he could leave and go to the pool or rooftop. Most likely rooftop for the view of New York and the fresh air. Once he got to the elevator the Avengers looked at Natasha and I.

"What?" I asked

'What just happened?" Tony asked

I bit my lip slightly and said, "Nightmare has returned." I turned to Natasha speaking to her. She sighed and looked frustrated, "I'll go, explain what we mean." Natasha said looking sad. I nodded and she went after Percy to talk to him.

"Okay, first off, Percy has nightmares about his life before being a S.H.I.E.L.D agent." I said to the team

They either looked sad or confused. "Why does he have nightmares and how do you guys help?" Bruce asked going into Doctor mode.

"On the Helicarrier our rooms are joint so if he has a nightmare I help him, and his life before S.H.I.E.L.D is not known by many and I would need to talk to Fury and Percy about it but we help him, it's been awhile since a nightmare came. There's also the year before he joining SHIELD and it wasn't a cakewalk either." I said looking toward the elevator hoping that Percy was ok.

"What are your guys relationship?" Steve asked looking at where I was looking

I decided to be truthful, "I think of him as a little brother, Natasha feels the same way. His mother died a year after he returned from a summer camp." I said carefully not to reveal really anything. The others looked sad.

"Phil was the one who found him and taught him other things that he didn't know, we met on his first mission, we were all partners and succeeded in the mission.

He acted like a leader but also took in what we suggested. You could also probably tell, he loves to joke around even when things are bad. We think it's how he keeps himself together. That and his other family, you meet the four of them." I said carefully choosing my words for Percy's family if demigods.

"So he was he born to be a leader?" Steve asked with a small glint in his eye but also sadness knowing what a being a leader means. It means you blame yourself if something goes wrong.

"Yeah," I replied, "his friends look up to him." I added absently

I look toward the elevator again wanting to be with Percy.

Bruce the said, "Come on let's go make sure Percy is okay." With that we all got up and I hit the roof button, I knew he would be here instead of the pool, he didn't know that this tower had a pool.

While in the elevator I wondered how they would react if I told them..."Fury actually wants Percy to be an Avenger too, he's that good." I say look at the elevator moving up with no expression on my face.

I could tell all were thinking 'But he's nineteen, to young to be in this business.' Oh how wrong they were. Fury actually has him in case they need to take care of the Hulk.

When the elevator opened, I stepped out and found Natasha rubbing circles on Percy's back who was looking out into the ocean.

I went over and put my hand on his shoulder, he turned to me and nodded meaning he was ok now.I let go and gave a look to Nat that said 'he's ok...for now at least' she nodded and stopped rubbing circles.

We both looked at Percy worriedly. We both had a frown on our face but our eyes gave more away...We were worried sick about Percy and his nightmares.

I then whisper in his ear, "You may want to tell the Avengers about our past, you can trust them." He turned and had a 'are you sure' look on his face. I nod and he looks back out toward the ocean one last time before walking back to the elevator where everyone else was watching the scene unfold.

Once we were back in the kitchen Percy looked like he was in deep thought. He sighed and began to tell his sad story.

How the Greek and Roman gods were real, everything. Except the part in Tartarus where he only told me, Natasha, and Fury. The council don't even know the full version but he trusted us enough to tell what it was like down there. I was not excited, but I do know that Coulson is in a good place.

Once Percy was done the others were quiet. Percy just looked to me and was like 'really, I hate this part' I smile lightly and we said we were heading toward the game room.

Where Percy is the only one who can beat me at games. He smiled brightly when I mentioned this and both headed to the elevator, once in there we waved off, Percy was still on his crutches.

"I'm probably going to heal it tomorrow, just have enough energy to heal it." He told me, we played air-hockey and some Call of Duty, it was a bit hard with my hand in the sling but I managed. Percy had his leg on a pillow and we played.

He won like he mostly does, "I see Percy still beats you Clint." I heard the voice which was Natasha's. I knew Percy smirked and punched him in the arm, he pouted which made me laugh happy to know he was doing better.

I look at Natasha this time and see everyone else there too. "Percy rematch." I demanded. He nodded and we played again.

Once again, he beat me. "Do you have to beat me, seriously." He smiled trying to look innocent and nodded while I just sighed exasperated. Getting up I ruffled his hair which he smiled at and I went to go help Percy go to the pool.
