Once a hero - Riordan_LeoGreyson

Chapter 13

I fell asleep on accident...

"...I'll be back next summer; I'll be back next summer." The music ended and the screen went black with the actor playing me, in the middle of the scene.

I glanced around the room and nervously bit my lip. The Avengers looked baffled at the screen. At least five minutes passed where nobody said a word. Then Tony's eyes met mine.

"So, you're on drugs?" He asked.

"I..." On drugs? "No."

"So, you're saying that this whole Greek world - Greek gods and monsters, demigods and titans - are all real?" He raised an eyebrow.

I nodded. "Yes, that's what I said at the beginning." I reminded him. He hummed in response.

"You went on a quest to retrieve Zeus' lightning bolt and Hades' Helm of Darkness?" Natasha asked. She was sitting on the other couch next to Clint who looked bamboozled.

"Yes, not by choice though."

"And you're still alive after all that happened?" Bruce frowned.

"Yes, I'll even allow you to feel my pulse, if you want." I said and held out my arm. He shook his head and I let my arm drop.

"There's multiple gods?" Steve asked. I nodded. I kind of felt bad for the guy, he had grown up in the 1900s thinking that there was only one God, then he was thrown into the future, had to fight aliens - apparently - and then get the information that there are not one God but multiple.

"So, let me just see if I've got everything correct." Tony interrupted. "The whole Greek world is real." I nodded. "So are demigods and monsters, titans and the Greek gods." I nodded; he was right so far. "You're the son of Poseidon, the sea God. You've watched your mother die then went to hell to retrieve her, but failed then you got her back after giving Hades - the emo looking God - back his helm and Zeus his lightning bolt?"

I grinned, "That is correct."

"Damn," he breathed. Dam. It's dam.

"But where do you come into the picture?" Natasha asked Nathan.

"I'm just his bodyguard." He shrugged.

The assassin narrowed her eyes. "The son of a God, needs a bodyguard?"

"He's quite stupid," the son of Apollo shrugged again.

"So, you're just a mortal?" Clint asked.

"Yup," my bodyguard nodded, popping the 'p'.

"Is nobody going to comment on how he just called me stupid?" I asked.

"Nope, because it's clear that you are," Tony shrugged.

"Excuse me?" My eyebrows furrowed together.

The billionaire shrugged. "It's true." He admitted. I shot up from my seat on the couch and bared my teeth like a wolf.

"You dare call me stupid?"

"You're stupid. Dumb. Weak." He listed jokingly with a small smirk.

"I will show you that I am not stupid!" I roared and took a step forward. Nathan shot up from his seat and was over by me in no time and blocked me from Tony.

"Hey, hey, hey." He said and looked me in the eyes. "Why are you all angry now?" He frowned. I blinked and immediately my eyes softened, and the harsh thoughts disappeared.

"What?" I tilted my head.

"Why were you threatening Tony? He was only joking. You should know that." The son of Apollo crossed his arms.
