Percy Jackson and the Forgotten Heroes

20 - A miracle arrives

Peter's P.O.V

I was ready to give up. I didn't see how we could ever stop them in time. But them something arrived. A miracle I had not expected. Someone I could always rely on to have my back. Someone who was always there for me when I needed him. And he arrived on the back of a winged horse.

"Ned!" I exclaimed when he landed.

"Someone call for a ride?" He tried to say smoothy, but his foot tangled in the stirrup and he tripped while dismounting the horse, so it ended up being "Someone call for a - " thud when he landed face first on the ground. He stumbled back to his feet and jogged towards us.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was by Camp Half-Blood and I overheard some of them talking - Peter, I don't think Hydra - "

"They're not back, I know. It was all a set up by the same people who kidnapped MJ. They're trying to turn us against each other. But how did you find us?"

"I'm your guy in the chair, remember? I found your suit tracker and stole a horse... You can see the wings too, right?"

"It's a pegasi." MJ said weakly. She looked like she was about to pass out.

"We have to get to the Avengers Facility and warn them, but first MJ needs to go to the hospital."

She shook her head "I'll be fine. We don't have time."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded stubbornly and I knew I wouldn't be able to argue with her.

"Fine. But we need to hurry." I helped MJ limp to the pegasi. It was a very angry black stallion, but the second Ned took the reins he instantly calmed down and allowed MJ to climb onto his back. Ned got back on the horse behind her and I pulled my mask back over my face.

"We better hurry. They could be at each others throats by now."

The pegasi took off, carrying them both across New York towards the Avengers Facility. I swung along after them, desperately hoping that we weren't already too late.
