Percy's Pov

I had been working with the avengers for a week. Gabe was afraid they would discover the bruises and hasn't beat me a whole lot. My bruises slowly disappeared and I became more comfortable with the avengers.

Today, however, was not my day. Unfortunately when I woke up Gabe was drunk and he beat the living shist out of me. I had a black eye and several bruises on my stomach and arms.

Then I ran out of cover up so I couldn't hide my bruises like I normally did.

And as if my life couldn't get any worse Ive been feeling really sick and feverish. The only good thing about today is that I get payed.

~~~~Timeskip~cause~plot~is~for losers~~~~~~~~~

I just barely got through my first job this morning and I don't think I can make it the rest of the day.

I have to try though
I sighed and walked into Stark tower.

3rd person

Percy was so unfocused and sick he didn't hear the elevator ding and the doors open. He sluggishly walked into the room and waved to everyone

"good morning" He said tiredly. Bruce, who looked concerned, walk up to him and put his hand on his head.

Percy was too tired to protest. Bruce quickly pulled his hand away as if he'd been burned. "Percy you have a fever you shouldn't be here"

Bruce tried to push Percy on the couch but He pushed him off.

"No...." Percy cried weakly "I have to be here if I don't get my pay then I'll be evicted. I-I can't afford to miss work I'll be fi-" Percy couldn't finish his sentence, however as He fell to the floor panting. "I... h-have... to w-work"

Black dots danced across Percy's vision as he started to lose consciousness

His last thoughts lingered on the loss of pay and he was whisked away to dream land.

Bruce's Pov (surprise!!)

Percy passed out on the ground and we all looked at him worriedly. I quickly went to work by picking him up and the shock was very clear on my face.

"He's... so light... " was It possible through the stress of two jobs that he didn't have time to eat?

Or maybe they're suspicions were correct and Percy's parents didn't feed him. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and rushed Percy to the medical bay.

"Help me get off his jacket" I told Steve. When we got it off all we could do was stand there horrified and speechless. Percy had on a dark blue short sleeved T shirt but what got our attention was the dark bruises on his face and arms.

"Oh my God. Is Percy really abused this bad." Steve said quietly. We decided to leave Percy's shirt on and put him in a tub of water.

Putting him in a tub of cold water would bring his entire body temperature down. It was like putting a cold rag on his forehead but times ten. All we could do now was pray he was ok and wait for him to wake up.

Percy's Pov

I woke to the feeling of a soft bed "what happened" all I can remember was walking into the tower and then nothing.

"Percy," I snap my head up to see Bruce and Steve looking at me worriedly. "You've been asleep for two days." My eyes widened and I jumped out of bed, much to the protest of the two avengers.

Shit. I thought and kept running

They tried to stop me; chasing after me while I ran down the street to my apartment.

As my luck would have it, I ran up to my door just in time to see my landlord Mr. Book taping and eviction notice.

"Mr. Book!" I Called. he looked at me and sighed sadly "I'm afraid that your too late this time Percy. I'm sorry but you have two days to vacate the premises"

Mr. Book walked away before I could try and explain. I stared at the eviction notice shaking.

"Damnit" I whispered, tears falling down my face. The one thing I was alway on time for. Gabe was going to be pissed.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Steve look at me sympathetically. I calmed down a little and wiped my tears.

"Im fine" I told them, I don't think they believed me but I didn't care. We stood there for a minute before I started laughing.

"Here we are in front of my house and I haven't invited you in." I opened up the door and stifled a sigh in relief. Gabe wasn't home.

"Sorry about the mess" I apologized stepping over a beer bottle. "My stepdad forgets to clean sometimes" beer bottles littered the floor and the cigarette smoke was so strong you could almost see it.

Fist sized holes were in the wall and poker cards and chips were scattered everywhere. I sighed and started picking up all the beer bottles and throwing them out.

Steve and Bruce helped which made me feel a whole lot better. About 30 minutes later the house looked brand new.

I sighed, feeling accomplished with my work. I turned to Bruce and Steve asking, "do you guys want anything to eat or drink"

they shook their heads so we started to make our way to my room but I heard the door slam.

Well that can only mean one thing.

I trembled with fear and pushed Steve and Bruce into my room. "Please don't come out. No matter what you hear. I'll be right back."

I closed the door and ran down the stairs. When Gabe saw me he threw me into the wall. I arched my back in pain but I didn't dare cry out.

"WHERE WERE YOU" he shouted landing a punch to the same eye he punched two days ago. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE SHIT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH. AND NOW WE GOT FUCKING EVICTED AND ITS ALL YOYR DAMN FAULT" Gabe shoved the eviction notice in my face.

"I-I had a fever I couldn't work please-" my excuses were useless.

Gabe had his hand at my throat lifting me against the wall. I was slowly blacking out when I heard a shout and then I could suddenly breath again.

I gulped down air greedily and coughed at the pressure removal from my throat. I finally got the nerve to look up and see Gabe laying on the floor unconscious and Steve standing there looking pissed.

"Thank you" I whispered hoarsely trying to steady my breathing. "Are you ok?" Steve asks kinda panicky.

I nodded my head and tried to stand up; only to find out that I couldn't stand. Steve lifted me up like I was a feather and walked me out the door. "Thank you..." I croaked hoarsely before I pass out again.
