Percy:

My first thought when I opened my eyes was where I the heck I was. I looked around, it looked like a hospital room, hopefully not a hospital, I slightly grimaced, I hated hospitals.

Then I remembered that people had come to get me, they had taken me away from that hideous place. I closed my eyes and leaned back into my pillow until I heard the noiseof a door opening. Abruptly I sat up. I shouldn't have done that, pain flooded my head, I haven't had headaches like that for a long time, my body hurt like hell. I briefly closed my eyes and ordered the water molecules in the air to heal me, immediately I felt how the pain subsided. When I opened my eyes again, I saw five people looking at me.
On the left was the man from my rescue. He had blond/brown hair and a pretty good build, as if he went to the gym regularly. Next to him, my savior. For a shortntime a wondered, if she had an attitude as fiery as her hair. She had an emotionless expression in her green eyes. I had seen this expression on many, who had experienced a lot of pain. My eyes went to the man beside her, he was wearing a medical coat and looked a little calmer. The man next to him had brown hair and a strange blue dot on his chest, I frowned, things are getting weirder and weirder with each day. When I looked at the last man, I gasped for air.
Jason!
Or Jason, what he would have looked like if I'd saved him, if I'd been quick enough. I could sense my face loosing all of its color, it was my fault. I realised that I was still staring at the man who looked like Jason, when he was uncomfortably stepping from one leg on the other.  Therefore I looked away.

"Who are you?" I noticed for myself how exhausted my voice sounded, which brought me a few anxious and worried glances from the people in front of me.

"You don't know us?!"
The man with the blue dot asked in horror. When I shook his head, he laughed.

"Have you lived under a rock and heard nothing of us? All right, when New York was attacked by aliens last year, we saved the world. "

A war? My eyes widened, I hadn't actually noticed anything, probably because I wasn't the best reception in Tartarus. When I remembered this, I noticed the edges of my vision turning black.
No! No flashback, not now, I shook my head and looked into the expectant faces in front of me.

"I have not heard of a war, I have sailed to Greece with friends. "

They nodded.

"Okay, so we're the Avengers. Natasha is the woman you met yesterday, the one with the bow is Clint, I'm Bruce, this is Steve, and this is T. . . "

"I am Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, genius and philanthroph always to have for a joke. Pleasure to meet you."

The one with the blue dot interrupted the other. I had to smile. Leo would have had the sme introduction. He would have said,
'I am the extremely hot and funny Leo. Always at your service. Especialy for someone gorgeous as you.'
I had to swallow, why did I just let him die? At the thought of him, my smile slipped down my face.

"Hey, you all right? You look pale. "

"Yes, everything's fine, my leg just hurts. "
I know it's not the best excuse. . .
Skeptically, Natasha raised her eyebrows.

"What's your name?"

Names have power, I knew that, so I said,

"I'm Prissy" at the thought of Clarisse I had to grin, I was glad that they, the Stolls, Will and others had survived, they will kill me if I see them again.
From their raised eyebrows, I knew they didn't believe me, so I changed the subject.

"Thank you for getting me out of there. "

"Uh yes, no problem, why were you there?"
Asked Clint.

"I don't know if I'm honest, I was on a run  a week ago, they shot me with some numbing shit. When I woke up, I was in a room, they asked me about you, the avengers and an organisation called SHIELD.  They couldn't believe I didn't know anything, so they tried to get it out of me. " I said and shrugged.

"How did they think you could know something about us that is not known to everyone anyway?" Bruce asked me.

"I don't know", that they said I was related to one of them, they didn't have to know, that was probably just bullshit anyway. "You arrested my kidnappers, maybe they know something. "

"Is this your natural hair and eye color? It is very extraordinary."
Suddenly, out of nowhere Tony asked, you could see that the question had been on top of his tongue for a long time. Natasha slapped him on the back of the head.
Black hair is pretty ordinary, with my eyes I could understand it, but with my hair? I looked at him confused.
When he saw my look, he took a mirror and passed it to me.
When I saw my reflection, I turned into Narcissus, unable to tear my eys from my own reflection. I had snow-white hair and almost white green eyes, what had happened, was that the result one of the injections? Gods I hoped it wasn't permanent.

"Uh no, that's actually not their natural color", I stammered.

"Looks cool", Tony tried to loosen the mood, Leo would have done the same.
I looked at him skeptically and raised my eyebrows.

"Where are your parents?" Asked Jason 2. 0 again this time I couldn't look at him without being reminded of Jason. I turned pale, the resemblance was really enormous.

"Oh, shit my parents, I totally forgot. "

I jumped up and stumbled slightly until Tony caught me.

"Hey, not so fast. Watch where you're going"

I smiled at him and stood straight again.

"Thank you again for saving me, but I really have to go. " With those words, I walked out of the room and left her behind me. Shortly after I left the Starktower, out of nowhere a red Lamborghini appeared next to me, I turned to my side and had to smile at the sight of the driver and said with a wink.

"You've taken plenty of time to find me, Apollo."
