Protecting Jackson

Chapter 19

Clint lets out a squeak as Natasha yells out his name like a curse," Where ARE you, Clint! I will find you! When I do, you'll wish we were in Budapest again!" 

Clint's eyes widen before getting a cocky grin," You and I remember Budapest differently!"

Nico turns to Percy with an eyebrow raised," How much trouble are we in?"

"Umm, enough to run," Percy says while rolling her eyes with sigh. "Clint if she doesn't kill you I will," Percy says anger in her eyes.

But then it happens, Percy's eyes glow purple and her hair starts to float around her. Percy speaks but it isn't her voice, at least not her normal voice. It's layered with different tones of her own voice," I swear to you, Clint!" A thread appears next to her with a pair of scissors.

Nico and Will jump back, horrified, they knew that something happened for Apollo to get them to help Percy, but they never thought it would be this! Nico recognizes the aura from the fates, but they can't be here, they aren't here. Nico and Will look at each other realizing at the same time exactly what happened that put her over the edge.

"C-calm down Percy, I didn't mean anything!" Clint says while backing away from her.

Nico tries to walk to Percy but that's when he feels the wind that keeps Clint, Nico and Will away from Percy. Nico starts pushing against the wind trying to make it to Percy as soon as possible to calm her.

"Percy!" Nico calls to his cousin. "Percy look here!"

Percy's head whips in Nico's direction before her facial features calm down, softening to a kinder face. The wind starts to calm and Nico rushes to Percy, putting his hand on her shoulder. Percy's eyes start to fade back to the blue they originally were. Percy's hair starts to float back down to her back as I she starts smiling kindly at Nico.

Clint decides that no matter how soon he needs to say something," I'm so sorry Percy!"

Percy's newfound other side makes a reappearance for a few seconds as she yells," Shut up Clint!"

She goes back to normal Percy however she looks to be weak, unstable as she sways back and forth. Apparently using just, the tip of the iceberg that can be called her powers is exhausting. Percy raises a finger, getting ready to say something before her eyes roll into the back of her head and she faints into the already awaiting arms of Nico.

"Well, that was interesting," Clint says trying to lighten the mood, yet failing as both of concision the teens glare at him.

Will rolls his eyes as he helps Nico support Percy's neck as they gently place her on the bed. Nico makes sure to go a step farther and tucks the passed out young woman before giving her an elder sibling kiss on the cheek.

Clint watches in awe at the family interaction, knowing Percy will stab him when she finds out that he witnessed this. However, the look on Nico's is terrifying to the point that anyone else would've pooped their pants. Clint shivers as he gets the unspoken warning, nodding in understanding, and leaves shivering at the threat and warning from the cousins.

When Clint opens the door five people fall on the floor in a heap. 

"Ow!" Wanda exclaims as she takes the weight of almost everyone.

Clints jumps back in surprise as Percy just shifts from her spot in the bed.

"What were you guys doing?" Nico asks putting his hands on his hips trying to pull off the William look. We all know that one look of pure motherly energy when you or someone they love does something wrong. Yes, Nico pulls it off and the five who were eavesdropping look at the ground in shame.

Bucky and Steve cross their arms while frowning at the two boys but know that they can't do anything without getting Percy even angrier with them. Natasha rolls her eyes but has enough knowledge to look at least a bit guilty. However, both Peter and Wanda are a different story, they have their heads tilted towards the ground with a light blush covering their faces.

"We were eavesdropping," Steve says, now blushing a bit. "We couldn't get in to actually see what was happing."

"Sorry Mr. Nico," Wanda says with shame lingering in her tone.

Peter nods furiously," We won't do it again."

Natash rolls her eyes and says," I was just eavesdropping to get inside to beat Clint up."

"I'm gonna take that as my queue to run now. Bye Nico and Will, thanks for saving me!" Clint shouts as he makes his way to the vents before disappearing into the darkness.

Natasha's face heats up to a bright red as she yells," CLINT!!"

Everyone gets out of her way as she runs out of the room, asking no questions to the teen boys. Steve gets a very serious look on his face as he sits on the floor.

"So does anyone want to explain why Clint was shaking and Percy is passed out?" Bucky asks before shooing Peter and Wanda away, as well as closing the door.

Will looks like he's about to start but Bucky stops him," No lies this time, you've been lying since you've gotten here. Who are you? What are you doing here? And what the hell happened?"

Steve slaps Bucky's shoulder," Now more bad words, they're just children."

"Excuse me!" Nico says looking offended.

Will places his hand on Nico's shoulder," Calm down sunshine. They have no clue what they're saying."

"You're dam right about that! I'm older than both of them!" Nico whispers to Will, not really realizing that the two men in the room have super hearing.

Bucky lets out a loud laugh," You older than us? That the best joke I've heard in a while right Steve."

"Totally," Steve agrees with a smirk as he tries to show Nico and Will who's superior.

Nico rolls his eyes," Yeah a joke, anyways you don't get to know anything unless Percy wants to tell you. We are bound by law not to tell you."
