Stars shine bright in the night (Percy Jackson X Avengers Fanfiction)

insomnia helps me make a friend

Alex couldn't sleep.

Every time he closed his eyes he saw either the Titan or the Giant war. He saw his friends die, sacrifice themselves for the cause.

And it fucking hurt.

Finally after at 4 AM after 6 hours of not sleeping he gave up and went to make himself breakfast. He picked up his Egyptian mythology book to read with tea and/or coffee and went to the kitchen. He made himself coffee it just simply a "coffee day" as he called it. Which meant that he was exhausted and needed an energy boost. He had to get his sedative refiled at the pharmacy because he ran out and now he couldn't sleep.

He had no idea how the drugs-sorry meds even worked on a god but oh well.

Today was the day he and the other alters introduce their siblings to the Avengers.

Needless to say he was nervous. This meeting couldn't go like the last one. But to be fair in the last one they got arrested.

Everyone was nervous even Blaze. Amar basically raised them when she saved them from the Red room 2 years ago. She though them how humans function and how they acted. She taught them how to act in public among humans. She was always supportive and kind to them.

They really needed their two families to get along. Yes after months of living with the Avengers it was impossible to not look at them as a family. Natasha, Steve and Tony were always taking care of them, making sure they were comfortable around them. They really acted like parents to them. Clint taught them archery (they sucked at it) and Thor hung out, ate snacks and joked with them. Bruce was mostly in his lab but would hang out and do experiments with them (harmless of course).

And they couldn't lose any of their family members anymore. They'll protect them with their life. He suddenly heard a commotion behind him. He conjured his daggers and holder it up ready to fight.

It was Loki. Alex didn't lowered the daggers.

"Nice daggers" Loki said. They WERE beautiful. They had a sapphire on the handle and  golden snakes wrapped around it. Alex loved snakes. The daggers were given to them by Amar when they first arrived at camp. It was of sentimental value. They always kept them close. They felt closer to their sister that way.

Gods he missed his siblings. He couldn't wait to see them again.

He was taking them all shopping (with the credit card Stark gave them of course) since Natasha shredded his binder during training and he needed a new one.

The media went nuts when they saw him without a binder. And even more nuts when they found out he was trans. Tony offered to pay for his top surgery which he accepted. He was still on a waiting list for therapy though.

Loki pulled him out of his daze by waving in front of his head.

So he grabbed his hand and judo flipped him. Annabeth would've been proud. Then he sat back down and drank the rest of his coffee.

"You little...I just wanted to apologize" Loki said. "For what?" Alex asked. "Trying to mind control you and kill you" he responded. "Ok" Alex said. "You're supposed to say: thank you I forgive you" Loki said.

"I don't forgive you yet you'll have to try harder than that come on" Alex said. Loki didn't look happy with that. "Tea?" Alex asked.

"I thought you don't forgive me" Loki said. "That doesn't mean I can't be friendly to you so want some?" Loki gave him a weird look but said:" "Earl grey please" Alex conjured some water and made it. He handed it to him. "So... friends?" Alex said while mom/dad Em yelled at him that it's not a good idea. He ignored him.
"Maybe " Loki said. "Good enough for me" Alex said. "Hey wanna go shopping with us I'd love for you to meet my siblings" Alex offered.

"I can barely tolerate my own what makes you think I can tolerate somebody else's". "Fair" Alex responded. Siblings relationship were strange. They and their siblings bullyed the fuck out of each other and drive each other nuts to show they love each other.

And so they sat in a comfortable silence for a couple of minutes.

"Are you..." Alex said. "Single? Yes why? You're too young for me child" Loki said.

"What? No nonononono I didn't... I'm aroace, I feel no sexual or romantic attraction I meant are you bisexual you gave me the same energy as my bisexual brother " Alex said.

"Bisexual?" Loki asked. "Attracted to a people of both genders" Alex explains.

"Well in that case you're right" Loki said. Alex did a small victory dance and made himself the "gay cereal" ah he called it (fruit loops).

Two hours later the Avengers woke up and they headed towards the Rockefeller mall to meet the system's siblings.
