Chapter 6- Battle of New York
As they were about to leave the man the Avengers saw when Percy first Iris Message appeared in a sort of burst of light.
"Percy, Hecate sent this to you. Hey Loki nice seeing you again." The man looked at his wrist where a wreath laid, "I gotta go if I don't want to be late. Bye." With that the man was gone again and Percy was left holding a package.
Not all all fazed Percy took a knife and cut open the page where inside was the thing he had to give Loki.
Percy took out the vial and handed it to Loki, "Okay Loki, drink up." Percy said with a grin.
Loki frowned but knew what the potion was for, his face grew on of disgust as he chucked his head back and swallowed the liquid in the veil, he choked for a second stating, "This is horrible."
Percy rolled his eyes as the demigods nose scrunched up, "What? Did you think it would taste like chocolate and candy?" Percy asked sarcastically.
Just as he looked at the his watch and calculated the time Loki fell over into Percy's arm who slightly bent forward from not calculating too little of Loki's weight but quickly adjusted.
"What have you done to my brother?" Thor asked as he pulled his hammer out.
"Relax Trigger Happy, I'm making sure it is out of Thantos's control for good. Hecate whipped up a potion and now that he has drank it he will be out for a few minutes while it takes effect."
"Wasn't he already out of Thantos control?" Clint asked
Percy shook his head, "Thantos was, in a way, controlling Loki like how he controlled, you only he knew what he was doing. It's like a little voice in the back of your head that people tell you you're crazy. Well this voice actually existed and I'm making sure the pest is gone." Percy said
"Doesn't that mean he knows our plan?" Natasha asked
Percy shook his head, "He still thinks Loki is trapped in the cage. Loki was able to, in a way, fake the transmitter into thinking another thing while we did something else."
The Avengers nodded in understanding and 15 minutes later Loki woke up with a headache and grumbled as Percy passed him a cup of ice cool water.
Now normally Loki didn't like ice or anything related to his true heritage, but Percy has already seen what he looks like as a Frost Giant and he really needed something to cool his headache right now.
Just to make sure Percy didn't have that voice in his head Percy watched his eyes for any signs of blue on his friend and was satisfied when none showed.
Once satisfied the plan was ready and Percy got his weapons and gave Loki's scepter that SHIELD took, Loki looked at it with slight distaste.
The Avengers were a tad confused at how much Loki didn't like the scepter, Percy in reply held out his hand and summoned the one that he knew Loki used and put a chant on it so Percy could summon it,.
They quietly swapped staffs and Percy put the one that Loki originally had when he was caught on his back as it was strapped in.
Loki twirled the scepter, almost spear like, in his hand with a content smile and nodded his thanks to Percy. It was a quiet understanding of one another that made Thor frown at how much he didn't know that they were best friends.
"We ready?" Percy asked as they were in a circle.
"Why are we in a circle again?" Tony Stark now Iron Man as he was in his suit asked
"It's easier to teleport when people are close, you just happen to make a circle. Ok everyone eyes closed don't want anyone dieing now do we." Percy said with a smile.
As Percy watched the Avengers close their eyes he nodded to Loki who still had his eyes open to do the spell to make sure they kept their eyes closed, they wouldn't notice it unless their eyes were open.
When Loki gave a nod back and closed his eyes Percy let his divine power shine around him and quickly teleported off of shield and teleported just outside of New York where some of the campers and Hunters of Artemis were.
Loki quickly undid the spell as Percy was happy to know that no one was peeking and that they trusted him enough, "Open your eyes." Percy said
As they slowly blinked they took their surrounds and they were indeed just outside of New York, "That's...that's just awesome and I want to explain in science how this shouldn't be possible." Tony said
Percy let them be as he approached Artemis who was still in her 12 year old from, "Lady Artemis." Percy said bowing his head.
"Lord Perseus." At that Percy scrunched his nose and as they went over the plan once more a blue light beam shot above Stark Towers, "It's too early, it should've been later|." Loki said his eyes full of fearness, he knew what was on the other side of the portal and was terrified right now but he had to push his fears away and defend his friends home.
As soon as the blue light reached the sky a vortex opened to reveal blackness, Tony had already launched himself and was attacking aliens that were starting to come through.
Clint took a nearest building with Thalia as Artemis got on her silver chariot aging to be around percy's age for better shooting along with the second lieutenant his daughter Maia.
Percy was proud of his daughter but quickly got back into battle mode sending Steve and Natasha on the ground helping the people get out.
Percy was thankful Chiron remembered to bring Blackjack and another Pegasus as himself and Loki jumped on said pegasi and started to help out when they good.
When a giant whale came through Percy had Hulk take care of it. As they thought they might win Percy started to break from the plan and go to the area where the Tesseract was on Natasha's command saying they might have a way to close the portal.
When he got there he understood what Natasha and the scientist Selvig, but then Tony said that he had a bomb that SHIELD sent, Percy knew it wasn't Fury because he could tell the man's Loyalty for pete sake and there was a good amount that he wouldn't blow up New York.
Percy watched as Tony flew into the vortex his heart clenching as he waiting for the man to come, his Loyalty felt like it was constructing him, he waited for any sign but Natasha, at the order of the captain's order, started to close.
That's when Percy felt it, he grabbed Natasha's wrist just before she touched the scepter and Tesseract. For a few seconds he calculated the amount of time before Tony would fall.
He was about to tell Natasha when to close it but she wrenched her hand back and closed the portal. Percy closed his eyes and focused on the loyalty that Tony had, it was actually loyalty to his machines that made it stand out and Percy calculated quickly and a sigh of relief came as he opened his eyes and watched Iron Man come out of the portal just in time.
But he wasn't slowing down, Percy stood up straighter and was about to call Blackjack to save him when the Hulk beat him to it, he caught Tony midair and slammed into a building than the pavement.
Quickly grabbing Natasha and making sure she wasn't looking at him he teleported down there.
Loki also flashed in and put his hand on Iron Mans chestplate where the light usually limited from, he felt Tony's loyalty slowly drift away and gave Loki a look as Loki said a spell and Tony woke up with a gasp.
The Avengers breathed a sigh or relief as Thor looked at his brother and Percy a tad curious but let it slide as his Man of Iron was alive, "Ah what just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me.
Steve sat back looking around at New York, "We won." He stated mostly from the shock that they just went through.
Stark let a sigh of release out and his head hit the pavement in relief, "Alright yay, good job guys." Tony started to say still laying down catching his breath, Percy let an amused smile play on his lips as he nodded toward Artemis who were already heading away so the cameras didn't see them.
Then Tony started to talk about wanting shawarma and Percy couldn't help but smile and laugh at the man as he held a hand for him to take.
Not at all bothered but the metal suit Percy took Tony's hand and practically pulled him up, "How often do you work out?" Tony asked looking at Percy mostly joking.
Percy just rolled his eyes and found a shawarma place close, allowing the Avengers to eat Percy talked to Loki privately about coming with him to Asgard and explaining to Odin and Frigga what had happened leaving out the detail about Achilles.
Couple days later and threatening the council of SHIELD Percy happily accompanied Thor and Loki to Asgard leaving the Avengers there and promising to help out if they needed him, he gave Natasha a pendant with his symbol while the others got something similar so they could contact him.
Soon they were heading through the BIfrost and were on Asgard.
