"All the thing you've said

And the things you've done

Can you carry it with no regrets?

Can you stand the person you've become?

Ooh there's a light..."

What do you do the moment that you realise that everything you've ever known was not real? That everything was a lie? 

...

The Avengers ran out of the Tower, seeing flames consuming the building as a tasty meal. Tony just looked in shock at one of his works. How? He had done so many things to make sure that a fire was not possible... "I guess we are going to have to stay somewhere else for the upcoming weeks..." Clint said. "Months," Natasha corrected. "I guess..." Tony ended. "Let's go," Steve said, laying an arm around Tony's shoulders. He was in shock. How... How could this have happened? His home... Gone. "I know somewhere where we could stay," He suddenly said, taking a turn to the right. 

It only took them a few minutes before they ended up at Sally's apartment. "Tony, are you sure that you want to stay here?" Natasha asked, not understanding why Tony would want to stay at this apartment. Was it even his? "Yes, come in," Tony unlocked the apartment and opened the door. Lots of dust flew out of the room into his face. Tony coughed, looking inside. "My god, Tony, how long have you not been here?" Steve asked, waving his hand in front of his own face, trying to get the dust away. "About a month? Or longer...? Well, no clue, don't care." Tony walked inside, seeing the furniture he knew too well. The rest followed. "Tony, are you joking or..." Clint started but was interrupted. "Nope, we are just going to clean up this place and then we have a good place to stay." Clint sighed and looked around in the apartment. "It better be worth it."

Percy walked over the small path of sand through the woods. Just a moment alone. It was refreshing, it was like the wind was blowing through his minds, washing away the dust he had of the daily life. There was no sea nowhere nearby, that was a bummer, but it was the way it was, and to be honest they had it good. Life was more normal than ever... But still, there were so many things to worry about. Thor telling the Avengers. Monsters that could show up any moment. The Gods finding them one way or another. The government finding them... It made the demigod wonder if there was even a possibility of living a normal life as a demigod. Yes, New Rome... But that was no option. Not for a demigod on the run. And he was probably going to run for the rest of his life if things were going the way they were now...

He sighed as he walked on, feeling the breeze in his face and going through his hair. The smell of nature was relaxing, it calmed him down. Something he needed...

"So any other topics on the agenda?" Zeus asked, looking around in the throne room to the other gods. "Yes, there has been absolutely no progress so far in finding Perseus Jackson," Artemis said with a sad look. "My guess is that he..." The goddess could not finish her sentence with the crack that formed itself in her heart. "He is not dead, Artemis," Hades said. "I would feel it or at least have heard it from the judges." "Is he not just with that weird superhero group with the Norse demigod?" Zeus asked annoyed. "No," Apollo answered with an angry voice. "Because Tony Stark, brother of Sally Jackson, has blown up her grave and the graves of Annabeth Chase and the rest of the demigods that had died in the war." Athena jumped up. "He did what!" Ares stood up and took his sword in his hand. "Where's that Stark guy!" "Calm down!" Zeus yelled over the commotion, causing the rest to be silent. 

"Sit down!" Ares and Athena turned around and returned to their thrones, angry looks on their face, their eyes spitting fire. "Does anyone know where Tony Stark is right now?" Zeus asked. "Yes, he is in Sally Jackson's apartment," Apollo said, making Poseidon furious. "That guy has some real guts," Ares said, hanging in his throne. "But... One question," Aphrodite said to no one in particular. "Yes?" Athena asked annoyed. "If we interfere, this mortal will find out we exist." 

"Fuck."

Tada!
