"I think its about time I end this" Percy said and the chains she'd noticed on the manacles around his wrists and ankles suddenly increased in length and started to levitate. He let the tips of the ones around his wrists turn into spikes while the ones at his legs wrapped up his body till around the waist where they made a sort of coiled belt glowing with soft crimson color. 

The Scarlet Witch was mesmerized at what was unfurling before of her and almost forgot to put up a shield in time to block as the chains shot forwards with a speed faster than she could perceive. One of them broke through her shield easily and wrapped around her arms and the second came in from behind and started to wrap up her legs. Soon she found herself helpless and unable to move as Percy walked over to her. 

"I know he's coming back about now. It's why you've been stalling for so long, and I don't know what you two have that's so important to keep me 'distracted' for so long, but seeing that you are clearly outmatched here I'm going to give you one last chance to stand down." Percy subtly made the chains tighten and the ends of them turned cones that covered her hands up the the mid wrist. To make sure she couldn't move her hands or fingers behind his back and do something with it. 

"Last chance," Percy said letting a pulse of the power red silver caused to those touching the metal with bare skin. The Scarlet Witch hissed with the sudden unexpected pain but grit her teeth and looked Percy in the eyes noticing the silver line of her brother a mile away. 

"Sorry, but I'm not the one losing today." She said and Percy tilted his head at this and was about to make a crushing motion with a hand when his posture suddenly shifted slightly and that hand instead shot out to grab Quicksilver by the neck. 

"Did you think I'd have forgotten about you?" Percy growled and Quicksilver grinned this time. 

"Nope." 

"..." Percy looked down at his hand and noticed that there was a flash of red light from something attached to his hand and sighed. Then he threw Quicksilver into a car, knocking him out and turned to The Scarlet Witch once more to do the same but a flash of some multicolored metal pole flashed between the two before straightening and Percy paused in confusion. 

That confusion, however, allowed the rest of the pieces to surround him and soon he was entrapped in a cage of some unknown metal. Percy looked at the contraption that had appeared around him and was wondering what it did when there was a sudden pulse of magic and a barrier cut through the chains he had wrapping up The Scarlet Witch and disappeared as fast as it had come with both the cage, him, and her falling to the ground simultaneously. 

Once Wanda had detangled herself from the chains surrounding her, and tugged off the shackles surrounding her hands, she floated over to her brother and checked on how he was doing. Once realizing that he was fine she turned to look at Percy only to gawk in surprise and disbelief at his nonchalance. 

He was laying on the floor of his cage with his hands under his head and his eyes closed. 

"Fucking seriously?" 

----------------------------------------

Steve gained consciousness slowly, every bone and muscle in his body hurt and seeing that he's never had that problem since his transformation into Captain America it was a strangely nostalgic feeling for him. He slowly got to a knee and looked around for his shield while trying to remember what had happened earlier, and it hit him like a eighteen wheeler as he saw Clint stumbling out of a wrecked building. He shot to his feet looking around for the enemy they'd been fighting and he suddenly remembered that they all had the small communications tech in the form of an ear-piece. 

"Is everyone alright?" He struggled to his feet and walked over to the center of where all of the fighting has been, a large crater could be seen but not what was in said crater yet. "Come in everyone. Give me something here." 

"I'm good." Clint said aloud, his voice coming through the ear-piece and from next to Steve as they joined each other on the walk to the crater. 

"I've been out for a while, but I'm good too" Bruce said over comms and Steve was relieved to have heard from him after all this time, "Though the big guy is proverbially pissing himself at the moment. He didn't take to fighting that Percy guy all too well and I don't think I'll be able to get him out for a while." 

"Alright," Steve sighed, "At least you're alright. Natasha. Tony. Come in."

"I'm a little beat up but alive." Natasha said making her way out of her wreck of a building as well. Steve nodded when she came outside with a slight limp but carrying herself well for having been thrown through a building. Same for Clint actually, he was impressed with how little pain they showed despite how injured they probably were. 

"Tony" Steve said and he finally saw the bottom of the crater where Iron Man was laying deactivated, "Tony come in." The suit jerked suddenly and the man inside brought himself to sit up with a groan. 

"I'm still here Cap." The four above nodded in relief and Bruce leant his head against the wall he was sitting against in exhaustion. "What happened?" 

"What happened was that Percy kid just handed our asses to us." Nat said and Steve glared at her wanting to make a 'language' comment but he was too tired to acknowledge it past that. 

"Yeah I think that's something we can all agree on," Tony groaned as he stood and starting tearing himself out of his own suit. "Even Cap despite his 'reservations' towards language." There was a small snort from both mercenaries at that and when Tony did tear himself from his armor Steve helped him climb his way over the top of the crater. 

"I guess we'll just have to hope that the twins were able to carry out the plan." Steve breathed and Banner came in with news of affirmation. 

"They managed to get him in the cage, but I have a feeling that he let them do it." His voice still shaky with recent fear of what he'd seen through The Hulk's eyes. "If you didn't notice during your fight but he wasn't even trying a little the entire time. We were barely a fight for him and for the big guy it was humiliating and enlightening too...in a way. I can tell that he respects the guy far more than I thought he would anyone now if that says anything." The rest of the team nodded thinking back to their 'fight'. 

"Yeah, pretty much as soon as we started to get even a little irritating he put all of us out of commission instantly." Nat said and once again there was a somber sense of agreement between everyone present. 

"Anyone know why the Maximoff's haven't been answering?" Steve asked and there was silence for a moment before Bruce's spoke again. 

"They said 'too many ears'..." Banner stated rather confused now. "Anyway the cage worked and Wanda was able to bring it closer to us, though it is a bit, different than I thought a super-cage was supposed to be like." 

"What does that..." 

"Lets just get to the others and then we can start asking more questions." Steve said hefting his shield and looking at Tony, who was bringing up a map of their location and where they had to go. He pointed with a hand and started walking through one of the destroyed buildings. 

"Through here, seems like a good enough shortcut there." That got a small smirk out of Nat and Clint at least. 

Once the group got there Steve and the others looked at Bruce, who was leaning on a car now looking rather...actually he wasn't really showing any one emotion but a multitude of them: Awe, fear, shock, pain, and shame; mostly directed towards the giant multi-colored floating cage, but a few surfaced when he was everyone else come from around the corner. 

To everyone's bewilderment they all looked at the cage and saw Percy laying on the floor seemingly taking a nap and Tony scoffed. 

"To think a brat like this beat the shit out of us so easily is just napping..." He held a mixture of respect and anger at the treatment they were being given...had been given. 

"What are you going to do about it old man?" Percy's voice challenged, gloating and carefree as he lay there, "You and that strange metal suit of yours couldn't do scrap to me and you know it." The kid had an infuriating grin while laying down and Tony knew there was nothing he or the others could do about it. 

"So what's up with the cage?" Steve asked looking at the trap floating about four feet off the ground and radiating with power. He caught the eyes of Wanda and Pietro and nodded towards them. "Thanks for the help you two. We wouldn't have been able to..." 

"We wouldn't have been able to do shite to him anyways" Pietro huffed and Wanda nodded. 

"He let us get this far and I'm pretty sure that this cage isn't even able to hold him anymore." She looked between the slight wisps of power wafting off of the cage in Awed disbelief, even if she knew what she said was true seeing the power of the cage against remembering how powerful Percy was still fresh in her mind. 

"No way." Tony scoffed, "Fury said the he worked with those Galaxy Warriors and I helped them build that trap. There's no way he's able to escape from it!" He was completely oblivious to the ball of water hanging over his head like a cloud until he looked at Percy's gaze following him. Still on the floor not having moved from his spot, and the ball of water dropped on Tony's head freezing the man in place. 

Wet Tony looked at the teenage primordial and growled incoherently while stomping off into the distance. Curses and swearing remarks trailing after him in a magnitude that would've made Cap shove a bar of soap into the man's mouth. 

"I can still rip out that machine in your chest from in here, and with little effort mind you" Percy growled loudly and the man froze, but kept going after a moment, his remarks redoubling in his wake. 

"Fucking Teenagers," was the only thing Steve heard until he was well out of earshot. 

Would you look at that...I'm updating more frequently than usual.

I wasn't lying about wanting to keep to a looser schedule this time...though it's going to be less than I thought it would've been due to issues (Mostly with me not wanting or being able to focus on something for extended periods of time enough to actually write something consistently).

Anyways I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and my schedule should be 'if there's an update sometime in the week there should be another following two days (three at the latest)'. Depending on if your weeks start with Sunday or Monday (not counting other countries' or time-zones I still have hard times understanding) that should be how it goes. 

Now hopefully I can keep this up even after I'm working a full time job again...
