Percy Jackson and the Avengers

Chapter Five: A Change of Heart

Chapter Five: A Change of Heart

***Tony Stark***

Percy limped out of the room, closely followed by Steve. As the doors slid shut, silence once more settled over the room. I felt like a jerk. I had antagonized the poor kid to tears, and he already had enough on his plate without me adding to it.

I had a feeling that my fellow Avengers were thinking the same thing, and Natasha confirmed my suspicions.

"What is wrong with you, Stark? Couldn't you see that Percy was suffering enough already without you antagonizing him like that?" Before I could answer her she angrily stood up from her chair and stormed out of the room.

Thor looked at me solemnly. his eyes swirling with disappointment for me and awe for Percy. "That was uncalled for, Stark." and with that he upped and left.

Bruce and Clint followed close behind, not trusting themselves to speak to me, but Bruce's look of disappointment and Clint's glare said it all. 

Fury and I were the only ones left in the room. "You had better make up with him, Stark." and with that he, too, left the room, leaving me alone. I sighed, and dropped my head on the surface of the cold table.

"Smooth move, Stark. Smooth move."

***Perseus Jackson***

I woke up to the depressing silence of my room, and sighed as I recalled yesterday's events. My anger flared as I remembered what Stark had said, but was quickly replaced by panic when I remembered my response.

They know who I am, and, more specifically, what I am.

I had to get out of here.

Now. 

I jumped out of my bed, and all but ran for the door. My hand was on the knob, but I froze when I smelled something that I never expected to smell in this room. I sighed in defeat, and turned around to face the intruder.

"Hello, Father."

So, I know what a lot of you are probably thinking with the late update and (kind of) cliffy. In my defense, I'm also writing, like, three other stories and I had some major writer's block. (Author's block? Whatevs.) So, please forgive me? I promise I'll update again soon!

Vote if you think the chapter was any good, comment if you have anything to say, and fan if you want to make me the happiest girl in the universe.

Ciao!
