Protecting Jackson

Chapter 18

Will looks at Nico, shock evident on his face," Percy what do you mean."

Percy lets out a small sob," I feel betrayed he could even think I wouldn't love him. I feel like an idiot to think that he loved me for me."

"Well, has he ever seen you with family, like actually with family?" Nico asks, trying to calm Percy down.

Percy sniffles a little," No, he hasn't."

"Well then you can't blame him for being cautious, he doesn't know how we act," Nico points out with more false truth than fact.

Percy quickly wipes her sleeve across her face, brushing some of the tears off her face," I guess you're right, I can't hold it over his head."

"No I'm not saying that, Percy you better hold this over his head for years. What I'm trying to say is you can't blame him, you can't really understand what he feels." Nico points out, putting a comforting hand on Percy's shoulder again. "Listen Percy, the guy is a living relic! His family, friends, lovers died long ago, you can't feel what he is feeling."

Percy nods her head knowing that Nico is speaking honestly, not allowing her to say anything to harm herself again. Percy doesn't need to think to herself how much Steve hurt her.

"Yeah, I understand but it still hurts that he didn't trust me," Percy tries to explain something everyone already understands.

Nico nods," I know but that is were you hold that hurt over his head for years."

Percy lets a small grin cross her face," Of course, I should probably talk to them soon but I don't want to face either of them."

"I understand, but remember that you don't understand exactly what he is going through. You can't feel that jealousy that he feels cutting into him," Nico says with a frown. "Sorry I'm standing up for him too much now. You have my feel permission to kick him in the balls, he was wrong."

Percy lets out a small laugh," I don't need your permission to kick him or hit him. You are the one that needs the premission and I grant you that premission if he keeps it up."

Nico lets a maniac like grin cross his face, that grin that got his name 'Ghost King' the haunting look in the smile and the eyes are enough to scare anyone into crapping themselves.

"Just promis me something," Percy says to Nico with a smile on her face getting wider.

Nico looks her dead in the eyes, still smiling that smile," What?"

"Just don't smile like that to any of the Avengers unless you want to be locked up in a cell of light," Percy states while laughing.

Nico takes on a dramatic look of shock," How dare you tell them my secrets!"

"I didn't tell them everything I could've told them the tim-" Percy gets cut off by Nico tackling her to her back, holding his hand over her mouth.

Nico huffs," You promised you wouldn't bring that up."

Percy just giggles a bit with a huge smile on her face, not that you could see the actual smile. Percy decides she doesn't like the fact her younger cousin tackled her so she licks his hand.

"Ewwww! Percy! That's nasty!" Nico says while wretching his hand away from her face with a look of pure disgust on his face.

Percy wrinkles her nose," I think it is worse for me, that is so much salt! Did you go to McDonalds without me again!?"

Will looks at a blushing Nico," Did you go to McDonalds," he says in a low voice.

Nico looks Will straight in the eyes," M-maybe."

Now it's Nico's turn to be tackled by Will," You went to McDonalds against doctor's orders! I think that deserves a punishment."

"Will!" Percy laughs," Don't kill the short kid, he didn't mean anything by it."

Will shakes his head," I think it deserves a week without kisses." 

Nico's face has a look of horror while he makes a small whining sound," That's not fair!"

"Isn't it?" Will challenges.

Percy laughs as she sees Will get up with a saticfactory smile," Well Neeks is it fair?"

"Shut up Percy!" Nico growls out towards Percy.

Will crosses his arms with that one face only a mother could pull off," Nico be nice or it will be worse."

"Yes father," Nico says while rolling his eyes as he sits up.

Will walks over to Nico and whispers into Nico's ear, whatever he whispers makes Nico turn tomato red.

"Ooooooh! Neeks a tomato!" Percy exclaims with a huge smile on her face, enjoying the show of her cousin being tortured.

"Perrrcccyyyy!" Nico exclaims as he flops onto his tomach hiding his face in a pillow. 

Of course that doesn't work as his ears turn brighter red. There is a rushed knocking on the door and Will get it as Nico hides deeper into the pillow.

"Percy, I need to hide in here for a few minutes, or a few hours," Clint yells as he rushes into the room, followed by Natasha screaming his name. "Nevermind I might need a few days."

"What did you do this time?" Percy asks with a smirk on her face.

Nico turns just in time to see it and notes Percy is gonna double cross Clint, or eagle boy as Nico calls him.

" I may or may not have not only dyed all her clothes pink, but set up a glitter bomb so when she opened her closet it would go off and coat her and her clothes in pink glitter." Clint explains well looking around for a good hiding spot.

Percy just looks at him like he's an idiot, which he is for that prank. No one will be able to hide Clint from Natasha's wrath and the only way to avoid it is to tell her. That's exactly what Percy plans to do.

"You did what?" Nico asks, dumbfounded.

Clint shrugs his shoulders, "I just need to hide for a bit."

"More than a bit," Percy says as though she can feel the rage radiating off of Natasha from her spot of which she stands.

That's when they hear the roaring Voice of Natasha," CLIIIIIINNNT!"

A/n

I spent like thirty minutes on this and I'm proud this took that short of time, though there are bound to be issues. I'm tired, it's late and I just wanted to add a bit of Natasha and prankster Clint it seems just like them, I think. I finally got my hands one a drawing book that explains how to draw Europian dragons, my favorite type. I have a few Chinese dragons and I love drawing them but Europian Dragons are beautiful. Anyways I hope you like this chapter, I guess I will see you tomorrow, if I honestly get to it.

I hope you liked this, I love you all,
