*Percy*

Much to my disgust, Bruce made me sleep in the infirmary that night in case anything happened. I was not happy about it.

Let's just say that it ended up with me being taped to the bed and not getting a very good nights sleep.

Consequently, I was in a grumpy mood when I woke up. Last night I was sleepy and therefore couldn't break the tape. However now that I'm nice and refreshed, I broke it quickly and headed to the kitchen before looking at the time. IT WAS 11:30AM!!!!!!! I was normally up by 8 latest!

"Styx!" I whispered as I hurried to find the others. We only had 30 minutes to get to Olympus!

Found everyone sitting in the lab.

"Hey Perce, How did you sleep?" Tony said smirking. I growled at him and he stepped aside.

"So what's up?" Natasha asked.

"Erm, I dunno" I said sarcastically, "maybe the fact that... WERE MEANT TO BE AT OLYMPUS IN 30 MINUTES!" I shouted. Natasha jumped up looking at the time.

"We need to go." Steve said running to get his coat.

"No shiz Sherlock!" Tony said, relaxed as ever.

25 minutes later the 8 avengers were in a lift heading up to Olympus. Then the door opened.

I saw 5 jaws drop. To be precise, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Bruce and Tonys jaws dropped.

"This is amazing. The architecture is one if a kind." Tony exclaimed. When I heard this, I sighed, it was my wise girl who had designed it all. I shook my head in my thoughts and prevent another flashback. I couldn't have another one, not here now, not in front of all the gods.

I felt Loki's hand on my shoulder, he knew I was thinking, I couldn't help myself, A tear escaped from the corner of my trickled down my face.

"You'll be okay" Loki said to me. "You're strong you can do this" I smiled at him appreciatively.

"Let's go "I said to everyone.

When we got to the throne room, all of the gods were waiting for us and Chiron was standing.

"It is good to see you well, Percy." He said to me as he trotted over.

"Everyone, this is Chiron, he's my camp leader." I told all the avengers and in turn they each introduced themselves.

"Well, we need to talk about the war. Athena?" Zeus told his daughter to take the lead.

"Actually, I think Percy should plan this." Athena stated confidently. (Que dropping jaws) Where was this nice Athena coming from?

"What! Why me?" I asked. I couldn't tell them my real plan so, I didn't know what to say.

"You because, you know everyone's strong points, Gods and avengers and you are a natural leader. Also, if it's not your plan your probably going to end up forgetting it." Ahhh, there's the Athena we all know and dislike.

All the Avengers, gods and Chiron nodded their heads in agreement.

"What do you think Chiron?" I asked my mentor. If he thought it was a good idea, I would do it.

"I agree with Athena Percy, you are a natural leader and you have prove that though the last two wars." I felt a shiver run down my spine.

"A natural leader doesn't let all his friends die, Chiron!" I said getting frustrated.

"Alas Percy, over all my years, I have seen many demigods grow and live and die. However, none have been as loyal and as caring as you. So you asked for my opinion and I think that you should lead the Gods and Avengers into battle." Chiron finished his little speech.

I saw Natasha with her head on Clint's shoulder. I think she was crying. I mouthed to Clint

'Is she alright?' and he replied with two words.

'She's proud' He mouthed with a small smile. I raised an eyebrow at him questioningly. The gods we're discussing. weather of not to let me lead. A small part of me was wishing they said no, so that I didn't have to deal with the guilt again.

"It has been decided." Zeus rumbled "Percy will lead us into battle!" He declared.

"Right, ok so. Tartarus is going to bring the fight to us so we need to..." I told them a plan which I wasn't going to follow, however it should keep them all safe until I could protect them.

Once the meeting had finished Chiron came up to me.

"Percy, my boy, would you mind return to camp in the run up to the war? Just to train the campers. If I am to be fighting, I don not want to leave camp unprotected."

"Of course Chiron, but is it ok if I bring the Avengers?" I questioned.

"Certainly. And Percy I want you to know, I meant what I said earlier." He turned and trotted off.

I decided that I would visit camp tomorrow and start training. I sighed knowing that I needed to enjoy thus toms while I could. I knew from personal experiences that nothing good lasts a long time...
