Avenger's God: A Percy Jackson Story

Chapter 7: Sea God's Vengeance

3rd Person P.O.V.

Nico never understood why people were so reluctant to shadow travel. It was dark, and cold, even if it was a little hard to breath, but it wasn't painful, like lots of things were in the demigod world.

As soon as it was complete darkness, his vision started to return. He was thrust from the shadows, into light so bright he had to blink twice before his eyes cleared.

Perseus was standing, hands clenched and glaring at the man across from him, Tony Stark if the tabloids Nico saw were anything to go by. Another man was trying to calm him down, his hand on Stark's shoulder.

The huge thunder god was beside the earth god, keeping his feet down on the ground.

Two super spies had their weapons drawn, pointed at both Perseus and Stark. And the captain, Steve Rogers, spotted him first.

"They found him." Nico said, ignoring everyone else in the room and turning to Perseus "He's on Alcatraz, and he's dying!"

Perseus wasted no time running over and helping him sit down.

"Tasha power up the jet. Bruce, there's a canteen in my bag. Grab it and give it to Nico. Stark, shut up and suit up. We're going to bust my cousin out."

Tasha nodded and ran for, Nico assumed, the hangar, and the other blonde agent trailing behind her. The man Bruce grabbed Perseus bag and started riffling through it, pulling out the canteen. Handing him the bottle, he asked "Are you alright?"

Nico nodded as he popped the cap and tipped the canteen upside down, chugging the godly drink. His skin tingled and he felt his brain spin for a second.

"Fine." Nico said, closing the cap and setting down the bottle.

Perseus had sheathed his sword at his belt, and Steve Rogers had his shield strapped to his arm. Stark stood inside the strangest mortal made thing he had ever seen, like spinning gears had popped from the floor, carrying pieces of suit with them and clipping them on the man.

"Like what you see?" Stark asked. Nico glowered at his and said "Keep fishing Stark, you might get a girl someday."

Perseus and Steve were talking strategy in low voices, Steve gesturing with his hands.

"We'll cause a distraction, and the kid can use his teleporting powers to get him out. Then we can escape on the jet." Steve said. Jason was nodding and turned to Nico.

"You think you can handle two plane trips and a shadow travel trip?" he asked. Nico nodded and said "They mess with the cousin I never met; they're going to get what's coming to them."

Perseus nodded and Tony, fully suited, said "What cha waiting for Grim Reaper? Follow the leader."

Stark ran out of the room, Steve tailing him, leaving the two demigods.

"You alright?" Perseus asked.

Nico nodded and said "Come on, unless you know the way to the hangar."

He nodded and they raced after them.

Riding fast jets in the air were definitely Nico's worst nightmare. Especially when your Hades' kid.

He clenched the arm rest of his seat, his fingers white and shaking. He gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. They just had to place him by the window, with a view of the cities beneath them, and he could just imagine himself falling to his death.
