*Thor*

It had been 2 days since Percy had become an Avenger, and everyone already loves him.

I was thinking about this when I got a call on one of these Midgardian weird phoney things.

"How do I answer it?" I asked anyone listening.

"You Click the little green phone symbol." Percy said from the couch.

"Thanks" I said and walked off.

- call-

Thor: T. S.H.I.E.L.D Agent: Sa

T: Hello?

Sa: Your father has contacted us, he wants you to go back and get something from Asgard and bring it back here.

T: Ok, thank you for telling me, little Midgardian.

-End of call-

"I will be back soon." I announced to everyone. "Father wants me to bring something here to Midgard." I got a collection of 'bye's' and left.

-Asgard-

"Father, you wanted to see me?" I bowed.

"Yes, Thor. You may not like this but I have made an agreement with Director Fury." He said

"May I ask what that agreement was?" I questioned.

Odin took a breath. "You must take someone to Midgard. They will be staying with the Avengers and yourself. "

"Ok, who am I taking?" I asked.

"Loki." Odin breathed out.

"WHAT! Father I must disagree with you. Lok- "

I started but he interrupted me.

"No arguments. Take him now. Your friends have already been informed.

*Percy*

"Sir, The Director wants everyone in the meeting room" Jarvis said. At first Jarvis had kept making me jump, but I was use to him by now.

"Okay thank you Jarvis." I jumped off my king sized bed, which I had moved to on e Thor had left, and walked to the meeting room.

My first days here have been weird. I have constantly been looking out for Tartarus. Thor and I have spoken and he has persuaded me to tell everyone about my past. We agreed that I would tell them in a couple of days once everyone has got to know me.

One of the big reasons I didn't want to tell anyone was because I didn't want to get all the sympathetic looks from everyone. I hated attention.

Anyway, I was the last person to get to the meeting room so I sat down and asked

"Whats up?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D Have made an arrangement with Asgard. They are going to send someone other here to stay. The person has done bad things but Odin, Thor's father, is convinced that he will be good." Fury told us.

"Ok, so who is this person?" Natasha asked

"Loki." He said simply. I had no idea who Loki was, but everyone else apparently did because they all started screaming.

If i hadn't been through everything I had, I would have ran away screaming from the noise they were making. It would be scary!

"QUIET!" I shouted about them. One good thing about leading armies, you have to have a loud voice to command them all.

"Who is Loki?" I asked. By the way they all reacted to his name I guess he was someone bad.

"Do you remember the Chitauri, they tried to invade Earth about 6 weeks ago?" Tony asked. Oh, 6 weeks ago, I was in Tartarus. But of course, I couldn't tell them that.

"Erm... No. Should I?" I asked innocently.

"WHAT!" They all looked shocked. In fact Clint spat out the drink he was drinking. It was quite funny.

"How can you not remember the Chitauri. New York was destroyed!" Bruce exclaimed.

"I was away?" I said it more like a question. When problems like these, ones that had something to do with my past, had come up over the past couple of days, Thor had always got me out of them. He wasn't here. So I improvised trying to distract them.

"So, I'm guessing Loki was there leader?" I guessed

"Yes, he's Thor's brother" Steve said to me. "How long is he staying here?" He asked Fury.

"Loki will be staying for quite some time. Get over it." Came the reply but I wasn't listening. I was thinking about how Steve reminded me of Jason. Level headed. Ready to act as leader and did while I was in Tartarus.

Oh god... Flashback.

"Percy!" I heard someone shout.

Then...Black.

*Natasha*

"I was away?" Percy said it more like a question. "So, I'm guessing Loki was there leader?" He guessed

"Yes, he's Thor's brother" Steve said to him. "How long is he staying here?" Steve asked Fury.

"Loki will be staying for quite some time. Get over it." Came the reply. I looked at Percy, Where could he have been to not have heard about the Chitauri and Loki?

While I was looking at Percy his eyes watered over. Thor said that was a sign he was going to have a Flashback.

"Percy!" I shouted as he slumped forwards. Everyone looked at him. It took 5 seconds for everyone to get out of shock and help.

"Quick bring him to the Infirmary!" Bruce said running ahead to set the stuff up. Steve picked he up and quickly walked behind Bruce. The rest of us followed behind. Fury murmuring that Loki would be coming with Thor this afternoon and He would come back then.

When I made it up to the infirmary everyone was just staring at Percy. I looked at them all not doing anything while an unconscious Percy was laying on his back and shirt off.

I walked in to see what they were gaping at and to shout at them to do something. And thats when I saw it. I saw something that finally, after all the things I had seen, made me realise what a horrible world we live in. A world of secrets. A world of aliens waiting at our door. A world of people dying everyday and a world where one 18 year old boy called Percy Jackson can have more scars than everyone in the world put together. I couldn't believe it.

"How... How... how can one 18 year old have so many scars?" Tony asked.

I realised something else then. Even though everyone has to grow up fast in the world we live in, Percy acted way too old. Yes, he still messes about and acts like a kid, but that wasn't natural for him. As soon as something happened he went into 30 year old mode.

"I don't know." Steve said.

"Thor might, should we ask I'm when he gets back? Percy's stable and isn't in any danger." Bruce said. As soon as he said Percy was fine, I heard everyone breath out, including myself. I didn't understand how one teenage boy could a) Have so many scars and b) affect a group of people so much after only knowing them for 2 days.

* Thor *

"If you do anything wrong, Im taking you straight back. Understand?" I growled to my brother as we walked to the elevator in the Stark Tower. I did love my brother, but he didn't make it easy.

"Yes, dear brother." Loki replied smiling.

"Where is everyone?" I whispered to myself.

"They're upstairs in the Infirmary, theres a kid on the bed." Loki replied, he could locate minds....

Wait! A kid on the bed!

"Percy!" I shouted as I ran. Loki following behind me.

"Whats wrong with him?" I asked Bruce worriedly.

"Flashback, he should fine." He replied.

"Tartarus!" I whispered so that no one would hear me, but I forgot about my brother standing behind me.

"Tartarus! What do you mean? Oh, Has Tartarus taken an interest in Perseus? Well thats not really surprising after the last-" Loki was saying before I claimed my hand on his mouth before he could say war.

"Last what? And how do you know his name?" Clint asked.

"Nothing. Im sure Percy will tell you when he wakes up."

"Has my brother not told you the stories told on Asgard about Perseus Jackson?" Loki answered and I shot him a glare saying 'Shut up or I kill you."

"He's waking up!" Natasha said interrupting our conversation.

* Percy*

I once again woke up with the Avengers gathered around my bed. Thats when I realised that I didn't have a shirt on. Thats also when I realised that they could all see my scars.

"Styx, wheres my shirt?" I asked.

" Percy, how did you get so many scars?" Natasha looked like she was about to start crying. She NEVER cries. I sighed. I had to tell them all now.

"Pass me my shirt and call Fury, he will want to heard as well, i guess..." I said. I stood up and sat back down again light headed.

"Want some help?" Someone asked. I didn't know this person so I presumed that he was Loki. I saw his eyes. I trusted him instantly. I know your thinking 'Dont be such a seaweed brain, everyone told you he tried to take over world and destroyed New York!' But I could see in his eyes, the regret, the sorrow and the loss of something dear to him. His eyes looked like mine. Sad and dying, but hiding those facts.

"Thanks." I said. I put my arm around his neck and stood up and heard a sharp intake of breath, well actually i heard 6. They obviously didn't trust him.

Loki helped me to the kitchen and I sat down. When Fury arrived i told them my story. From when I was twelve to now. I told them how i stopped ww3 and got Zeus' bolt back, traveled over the sea of monsters, retrieved the golden fleece, held up the sky etc. I told them how I was torchered in Tartarus, hence the scars, and that was why i didn't know about Loki and the Chitauri. Thor had to take over near the end, when i got to all of my friends dying. However, I told them about my Parents and Tartarus most recent threat which he told me about during the flashback i just had.

"Tartarus has said that he's looking for you all. So... So as much as I've loved it here these past 2 days, I need to leave before he find me and consequently you." I let a tear escape from the corner of my eye and I started to stand up. I didn't have anything to pack so I just started heading to the door.

Before I knew it I was flying across the Kitchen and onto the sofa with a "ouch".

"What was that for!" I looked up and saw 6 very angry avengers. Fury was sitting looking grumpy as ever and Loki was sitting trying not to laugh.

"You're not going anywhere!" Tony said.

"I have to, I know you all want me to leave so that you don't get hurt." I replied

"Percy, I knew that Tartarus was coming and I didn't want you to leave. So why would anyone else?" Thor asked

"Guys as amazing as you all are, I have to leave. I've already lost 6 friends because of Gaia and Tartarus. I don't want to lose anymore." I explained. Natasha walked over and gave me a hug which then turned into a big bundle with everyone on top of me.

"C...c...cant b...b... breath guys!!!!" I tried to shout. When everyone was off, I said "Ok, i'll stay for now but if anyone gets hurt by Tartarus, even just a scratch, Im leaving. deal? "

"Deal!" Came the reply.

"Right, Im going to bed. Good night!" I shouted

And with that I walked to my room.
