Previously:
"Powers?" I asked Thor.

He grinned and held out his empty hand. Mjölnir crashed through the ceiling and into his hand.

From the hole in the ceiling, everyone heard Luke, "I said don't start yet!"

With Luke finally settled back in his chair with the massive bowl of popcorn that he managed to turn blue (it only distracted me for a second), Thor and I finally turned to each other with the intent to start fighting.

Electricity crackled throughout Thor's form, his armor appearing out of nowhere. I sent a smirk his way and summoned my own armor, complete with my helmet.

"So cool!" Squeaked Ned from the peanut gallery.

Thor and I shared an anticipatory smile.

"Aaaaannnd....GO!" Luke shouted before taking a sip from a coke can.

Of course, Thor's response was to launch his hammer at me. Idly, I wondered if it would have been smart to put up some kind of barrier between our fight and the audience.

Pushing the thought away, I twisted the watch on my wrist from Tyson. My shield formed just in time for me to bat the hammer away. It flew through a window and kept going. Thor hardly broke his stride and picked up a dumbbell, launching that at me too.

Now, uncapping Riptide, I charged, needing to close the distance so Thor would stop throwing things. That move, however, was almost pointless as Thor let his lightning cover him completely, making his eyes glow electric white and the hit I landed with my sword shocked me enough for me to drop it.

"What!" I heard someone shout. "That was enough electricity to electrify someone to death! He acted like it was a static shock!"

I chuckled and was about to say something but I saw something hurdling towards me at astonishing speeds out of the corner of my eye. As I ducked, Mjölnir flew two inches from the top of my head and into Thor's hand. I used this opportunity to grab Riptide again.

Since I was now too close for Thor to throw the hammer, he swung it up towards my face but was stopped by my hand grabbing it by the head and guiding it to Thor's face instead. The hammer knocked his head back and my shield knocked it forward on the way back. In my other hand, Riptide sliced through the air towards his midsection.

Thor, however, recovered in time to use the momentum of his head to charge at me head first. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

His head collided with my chest, knocking the wind out of me. I took a few steps backwards in order to regain the air in my lungs and pounded on my chest as if that would work.

"C'mon, Percy, you can do better than this!" Luke's voice rang in my ears. "I've got 100 drachmas riding on you so you'd better step it up! One measly head crash isn't enough to take you down and you know it!"

At this I dropped both my shield and my sword and swung with my fist. The move being so unexpected, Thor could only widen his eyes as his face got smushed in by my fist and he flew back into the wall. I stood, smiling at his crumpled form embedded in the drywall.

As Thor stumbled to his feet, he had head hand on his jaw, moving it around. "I 'ding you dit'ocaded eye yaw." He said in surprise.

"What?" Steve's head popped up from the ground at Thor's words.

"What'd he say?" Ned asked, obviously not being able to speak dislocated jaw.

"'Da o'ay, I ca' yus'—" Thor continued moving his jaw and we all heard a pop as it slid back into place. "There."

"Thor! You can't just—" Bruce didn't get any further because Thor had thrust his hammer to the ceiling, causing the lights to flicker. They went completely out but the electricity crackling around him and his hammer lit up the room. He then pointed the hammer at me and sent a stream of power my way.

Now I could either dodge it or do something I've been playing around with.

I chose the second one.

My fingers sparked with golden light as I called on the powers I received when I regained my birthright as the heir and son of Chaos. Waves roared in my ears and I put out my hand to meet the stream of lightning. Starting at my hand, the lighting changed into tree branches that followed the path all the way back to Thor's hammer. It moved too fast for him to realize what I was doing so the tree branches covered half his body before it finally stopped. He could only move his one hand and his head; the rest was encased in the tree I'd just created.

"Yes!" Luke leaped up from his seat, hands in the air. "Now that's what I'm talking about!"

Thor just laughed. "Well met, Lord Percy! I hope to do this again!"

"I agree, Lord Thor," I returned. "You are a challenge I have not had since my brother sparred with me."

"I am honored." He said. "Now could you release me?"

"How?" Tony demanded after the tree was gone. "Your domains don't cover trees!...Do they?"

"I am the son of Chaos, heir to his primordial throne." I said, amused. "As such, I would have inherited some of his own powers over creation. Only in a small amount—at least until I fully take over the throne."

"Oh." Tony's voice was small.

"Are you good for another round?" Clint asked.

I smirked, glancing at Steve, who had moved so his back was against a wall while still on the floor. "I could do this all day."

It took a second.

Steve's face scrunched. "Heeeey!"

Laughing, I turned back to Clint. "Are you offering to go next?"

"Oh, no." Clint held up his hands. "After what I just saw, I know I could only beat you in a game of laser tag...if that. I was going to suggest Hulk."

"Hulk?" Bruce repeated in disbelief. "Are you sure?"

"I have created a Hulk-proof training area." Tony said as a way to convince him. "You up for it, buddy?"

Bruce looked between everyone looking at him and sighed. "Yeah, fine."

I grinned. "I'm excited to see what you've got."

"Don't get your hopes up." Bruce returned, trudging to the area Tony indicated.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

CRASH

"What did you call me, Hulk?" Percy stalked to a crumpled form of the Hulk across the closed off area in the training room.

"Not puny! Not puny! Not puny!"

The teenaged looking god laughed. "That's what I thought you said."

"What the heck is going on." Clint muttered loud enough for those immediately around him to hear.

"It looks like an older brother tormenting his younger brother."

Clint jumped. He could have sworn Natasha was still out cold. "When did you wake up?"

"Not too long ago."

"When Hulk threw the first punch." MJ said through her popcorn.

"So she saw the whole fight?" Clint said. "That wasn't 'not too long ago'! That was 45 minutes ago!"
