Avengers/Percy Jackson Crossover, Solangelo (COMPLETED)

Panic Attack

As we headed to the Avengers tower, I recapped what happened, oh Leo.

"It's okay, Leo, this was just a misunderstanding. We'll take care of it." Leo gave one more suspicious look towards the avengers, and them got on Festus and took off. "What was that?!!" Hawkeye, aka my hero, said. "That was good ol' Leo Valdez, another demigod." Nico explained. Gods, he looked too perfect with his brown eyes and soft hair... stop, Will you get distracted!!

"So, what is a demigod." Tony Stark asked. Before we could answer, Nick Fury spoke. "Avengers, they will answer your questions at Avengers tower and will give me a report once you're done." With that, he jumped in a helicopter that had landed, and it took off.

"Oooookkkayyy!"

Now I was in a car with the AVENGERS and was heading to AVENGERS TOWER, though I was nervous. I looked at Nico. He looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile, and took my hand. I smiled back and intertwined our fingers together. A light blush overcame both our cheeks, but we didn't let go of eachothers hands, just looked away. Dang teenage hormones. When we arrived, Nico didn't let go of my hand, and I didn't either. Before I knew it, I and I were in the building, heading towards the elevator. Nico panicked.

"Um, I don't really... I don't think I should..." Me and Nico pulled away from the elevator. They looked at us, confused.

"Nico, um, has bad memories of elevators." I explained. Hawkeye, aka Clint Barton, smirked.

"Your fiiiiiine." Then, before we could reply, he pushed his into the elevator along with the rest of the avengers and the doors closed.

"Avengers compound FRIDAY." Ironman said, though I wasn't listening. Nico's breath had begun to pick up, and a look of distant panic over came his face. I knew he was having a flashback and panic attack. I quickly lowered him to the floor and took his other hand.

"It's okay, Nico, it's okay, you're not there, okay? Do you understand? You're not there." I spoke in a soothing voice, trying to calm him down, and it helped a little bit, but he was still in the panic attack. I pressed his head against my chest and held him, speaking in a soothing voice full of comfort. I rubbed soothing patterns on his back with my fingers and whispered breathing exercises.

"Here, Nico." I said and took his hand, placing it on my chest.

"Do you feel my breathing?" I ask, exaggerating my breaths so Nico could feel them.

"Can you breathe like that?" I ask softly. He nodded and started taking evened out breaths.

"Okay, good, good. Now, can you name five things in the... room?" I asked. He nodded.

"A... a number p-p-pad on t-t-he side of the d-doo-r." He said shakingly. I nodded. He continued.

"Metal w-walls, the d-door, a-a cicle shape on the c-c-ceiling..." I nodded.

"Okay, you're okay, Sunshine, you're not there." Nico took a shuddering breath and nodded. I hugged him, we were both sitting on the floor, my back against the wall. I pulled him to me so he was sitting on my lap and placed my hand on the side of his head that wasn't on my chest, the other snaking around his waist. Then the elevator dinged, and the doors opened. I scooped up Nico in my arms bridal style and rushed out of the open doors, the Avengers followed. I sat his upright on the coach and sat down next to him. He snuggled into me and put his hands on my chest, I wrapped my arms around him, his folded legs on my lap. I put my head on top of his head and his head of my shoulder. He soon fell asleep. Great, I thought sarcastically. How will I explain this?
