Steve POV
Once Thor left we all looked at Fury disappointingly before leaving him staring at us on the floor. We went to the avengers floor in Stark's tower and settled in the living room. After a couple minutes Fury joined us and we turned on the news. Just as we turned on the TV a bright flash in the middle of the room appeared. The team and Fury averted their eyes. When the light cleared, Thor and Percy were standing in the middle of the long room.
They both looked content. Thankfully Percy wasn't out for Fury's blood or that would get ugly. He had a gold chain on his neck with and open book charm attached right next to his string of beads.
"I've come to change my answer." Percy said looking at Fury.
He looked surprised, I mean, who wouldn't be after being threatened by the same person that now says that they will work with them, not many.
"Welcome to the Avengers initiative. The team will fill you in. Bye." he exited pretty quickly.
Percy suddenly grinned at Fury's actions to get away from him. Thor didn't hold back his laughter. Soon the rest of the team was on the floor holding their stomach laughing, the boy was just smiling softly watching us.
"So what do you got kid?" Tony asked. Percy's eyes flashed.
"I'm not a kid." Tony quickly backed down.
"Sorry, natural response." Percy waved him off.
"Ok, so what do you have that proves you can be on the team?" Percy looked confused.
"Wait, did you not just see me in the interrogation room with Fury and outside of it?"
"Oh, but that only proves you can scare Fury, break metal tables with your fists, heal yourself somehow, and teleport." Percy rolled his eyes.
"Mortals." he mumbled.
"I also beat you all single handedly with a bag on my head and my hands in my pockets, I think that tells my place." he pointed out.
We all shrugged, he had a point. Tony looked about to protest but Percy walked over and judo-flipped him over his shoulder and kept walking without breaking stride. We all burst out laughing again as Tony groaned on the floor.
"Where's your kitchen?" He called over his shoulder.
"Follow me." Natasha said and beckoned him to follow her. When we for to the kitchen he went to the fridge and popped open a soda. We all sat down and he looked at us after swallowing.
"You have questions?" He asked.
"Yeah! Where did you learn to fight like that?" Tony asked jealously.
"Camp." was all he said.
"How about you tell us about you instead of us asking questions and if we have any afterwards we ask them." Natasha suggested. Percy nodded.
"Ok, sure." He agreed.
"My mom was a single mom for about 6 years until she married a horrible person for my safety. He abused me and threatened me, if I told my mom then she would get it worse, so I kept my mouth shut. he disappeared when I was 12."
He smiled at that. My eyes darkened when he said abuse, who would do that to a child?
"I met my father around that time, he was sorry he couldn't be there for me, I forgave him. Life got better, I went to a summer camp my dad wanted me to go to, to keep me safe. Made friends, went every summer and we went on field trips around the country to learn, so that's why I've been to most states. After 4 years at camp I got the girl of my dreams life went on, my mom married. Then I was sent across the country by my Aunt for an exchange for our camps. They are the same camps, but have a whole other side to them based off one point. That was 9 months ago, then I was reunited with my girlfriend and the one who was exchanged with me, we met up and went on a field trip to Italy, Rome, and Greece. It was on a giant ship, in Greece, there was some sort of uprising that we got caught in the middle of. I'm the only one who survived. Earlier on the trip I proposed to my girlfriend, as did all of the other boyfriends to their girlfriends. There were 7 of us including me and my fiancé. When I finally came back home, the two-sided camps combined and I found my mom and step dad dead. Murdered by an enemy of mine. Then you guys found me."
We were in shocked silence. We could tell that was a watered down shortened version of his life, but we didn't want to push it. he said it all with a blank face while drinking his soda. He certainly was not a threat, seems like he was the hero instead based on what he said to Fury earlier.
"That's all I'm telling you, so ask your questions." he said.
"What were those things that attacked you on the beach?" Tony blurted out.
"Enemies of mine working for a higher enemy of mine."
"What does your higher enemy want?" Natasha asked curiously.
"Revenge." was all he said before getting up to throw away his can. He started walking away and stood by the doorway with one hand on the frame.
"Where's my room?"
"Next to Steve's and Clint's, across from Natasha's, Bruce's, and Thor's." Tony answered. Natasha rolled her eyes for some reason.
"And where is that?" Oh that reason.
"Down the hall on the right."
"Thank you, see you all in the morning." He waved good night.
"Wait Percy." Bruce called out. Percy halted and turned around raising his eyebrows.
"Yes?"
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Not hungry."
"Your were earlier."
"Not anymore."
"Eat."
"I don't eat before I go to bed." then he just walked out.
"Why?" Bruce shouted through the walls.
"It will just come back up." he replied through the walls before shutting the door to his room.
We all looked at each other. That's not good. What is making him throw up his food in his dreams? Nightmares? Couldn't be that bad... right? I could tell everyone else was thinking the same thing as me.
Silence reigned as everyone left thinking about the day's events.

Percy POV
Today has been eventful. I got ready for bed even though I knew nightmares would come. Even if I didn't eat, I would still throw up anything left in my stomach.
I took a shower, letting the warm water run over my scarred body. I thought about today. I left on the gold chain that held the scrap book and Annabeth's ring, I strapped it on so it would remain safe as well. I left on my camp necklace as well. I walked in my room with only a towel around my waist to see Steve opening the door to tell me something.
His face contorted into horror at my scared body. I froze, no, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening.
"Get out! Get out!" I screamed at him. He fled.
I sighed sadly. This will come to bite me in the morning. I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling uncomprehendingly. I turned on my side and hugged the extra pillow silently crying for my losses.
I drifted into a sleep filled to the top with nightmares from the recent war.
"Good night Annabeth... I miss you."
Tell me what you think...
