Steve's POV:
My feet pounded the hard cement as I completed my usual run around the city. An unusual feeling of observation passed through me when I walked through the doors. Like I was being judged and evaluated. I glanced around me but saw nothing out of the ordinary. A shiver crawled down my spine. I shook it off and stepped into the private Avenger elevator. Bad elevator music played the entire way. Stepping out into our living area I was met by a scene of utter chaos. Clint was perched on top of the fridge shooting nerf guns at Natasha, Thor was yelling at the toaster, Bruce was sipping tea and Natasha was using my sheild to defend herself from the nerf gun attack, occasionally shooting retaliation shots. She did a back flip onto the couch and began channel surfing when Clint ran out of ammunition. I walked over to her and asked, "what's going on?!"
"Thor got scared by the toaster and is now challenging it to a duel, Clint and I were bored and Bruce is staying calm."
"OK..... I'm going to my room. Make sure nobody kills anyone."
"Sure cap"
When I got to my room I collapsed onto the red, white and blue bed spread. Tony's idea of a joke. I would never admit that I actually liked it. I drifted off to sleep only to be dragged into a nightmare.
Save Perceus

No Ones POV:
" 'Save Perceus'. We have all had the dream. The same dream. The same two words. 'Save Perceus' what does it mean?" Steve addressed the Avengers (minus Tony, plus Pepper) gathered before him.
"Tis a warning captain of America. Sent from the creators of the Universe." Thor boomed
"Who?"
"That is not for I to say. My knowledge of the matter is limited. -"
He was cut off when a boy in black and girl with frizzy red hair stepped out of a shadow. Before the mortals (and Thor) could voice their surprise the boy said
"Shut up and listen."
He then gestured to the girl who's eyes turned an unnatural shade of green and began to glow. Green smoke swirled out of her open mouth and a strange voice spoke.

The hero will fall
This could end it all
Fire will ignite,
Join together to use its light
Or evil shall rule,
It will end in the final duel.
Save Perseus in life or death;
And hope will once again rule till the final breath

The girl then collapsed into the boys arms and they disappeared in a swirl of blackness.
"Was that Rachel Dare, Daughter of the CEO of Dare Enterprises?" Pepper asked, breaking the silence
"Are we going to ignore the smoke that poured out of that girls mouth!? or the fact she recited a creepy poem?" Clint demands.
"She was reciting a prophecy. I am afraid we are in immense danger. And yes Lady Stark, that was Rachel Elisabeth Dare. Oracle of Delphi. We must learn the meaning of the prophecy, it is our only hope."
"Thor your not making any sense. And that 'prophecy' mumbo jumbo is crazy." Natasha said firmly
"Luckily I believe I understand parts of it. I can't explain right now but you must trust me. We need to summon the fallen hero, or as you know him, The Black Serpent."
"He is impossible to find Thor, trust me. I've tried."
"Not in the right way. Give me twenty minutes and try to get some blue food. Preferably cookies."
He strode out of the room leaving his baffled teammates in his wake.

Thor's POV:
After leaving my companions I went to my sleeping quarters. I closed and locked the door.
"Jarvis kindly create a rainbow on this wall."
"Yes Sir."
"Also make sure nobody can see what I am doing."
"Cameras have been shut off."
"Thank you"
I quickly shuffled through my possessions.
Please tell me they left one for me. They must have known....
"AHA!" I shouted holding up a golden drachma.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering and show me Perceus Jackson." I threw in the coin and it passed through the rainbow. After a minute wait an image appeared. The man before me was curled in a ball crying softly and shaking.
"Perceus" my voice cracked.
He looked up and his expression hardened.
" Who are you and how are you contacting me?"
"My name is Thor, Price of Asgard and Norse god of thunder. I am an Avenger, you promised to protect us, remember?"
"I guess you look familiar. That doesn't really answer my question."
"You are needed. You swore on the River Styx to protect us and we need help."
"I already have. The tower is shielded. Nobody with malicious intent of any kind can enter the tower. Anyone with malicious intent who was in the tower when the enchantment was cast left immediately, whether they wished to or not. Nobody can hurt you."
"A prophecy was spoken. You will be no use to us dead. Come to the tower and I will explain. You don't have to agree to anything yet, just come. We will explain then."
"I refuse to be part of a prophecy."
"I am afraid you have no choice. If you don't come, darkness will fall, evil will rein supreme and you will be beyond repair." I then quietly ordered Jarvis to end the connection.
Please come.
