Percy POV
I'm so stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. If there was one thing my mom taught me it was not get in a car with a stranger. Here I am getting into a cab with a complete stranger. Not to mention in my experience that meant he was most likely a monster and now I'm dead. I looked over at the doctor dude. He was arguing with the driver that I wouldn't get blood all over his car. For a second I thought his skin turned green. That's all I need a big green monster attacking me. I took a deep breath I was going to have to run for it. I shifted my weight in hopes of spitting away. A wave of dizziness made me stumble. The doctor dude put his arm around me and steadied me, pushing me into the cab. " hey kid you ok?" I nodded but inside I was scearming. Oviusly, I'm not ok I'm in a cab with a monster, bleeding to death. "When's the last time you ate?" He asked a wired question for a monster to ask, maybe that effected my taste. Like if I ate a lot of pizza then I would taste like Pizza. Though if I tasted like anything I think I would want to blue cookies. Yeah, or a Big Mac. Wait what was I thinking about. "Kid." Oh. " I had a egg Mc Muffin for breakfast." He nodded. What he didn't know was that it was probably the only thing I've eaten all week. Being in Tartaus shrunk my stomach. Not being feed for weeks did that. Not to mention flashbacks and nightmares don't really help your appetite. He seemed to be reading my mind. "What did you eat yesterday?" Stix. If Will was here he would have beat till I was on my deathbed then heal me and do it agin. Then agin I snuck out of the infirmary and ran to Manhattan sooo.... Any way. I look at doctor dude "Nothing, what I ate today is probably all I have eaten in a while." He sighed. He gave at look that clearly said what have I gotten into. He took out a kids Hulk go green lunch box , yeah defiantly a monster. Why would a grown man carried that. I mean why dose he need it?Was he going to make me into sandwiches? "Eat this you lose a lot of blood you need some sugar." He said handing me a snickers.

Bruce POV
To say I am a stupid doctor would be an understatement. The kid was getting pale by the minute. I should have called an ambulance. When the cab pull up the driver wouldn't let the kid in. He apparently didn't want blood on his already stained car seats. Agh. It took all my will power not to let the big guy turn him into Apple sauce. As I was arguing I saw the kid fidgeting. He eyes scanned the park nervously. I might not be a spy like Clint or Natasha but I knew when someone was about to make a run. Fear plastered his face as he took a step to get away from me, but before he could he stumble. He looked like he was about to faint. I reach out and grabbed him pushing him into the car. The cab driver protested. " how about I pay double and if he ruins your seat I will buy you a new car." Tony was going to hate me, but it shut the driver up. I got into the car next to the boy as we stared to head toward the clinic. I look over at the boy he still looked like he was about to pass out. " Hey kid you ok?" No answer. He was bleeding pretty bad but not enough that he would pass out that quickly. I wonder..." When's the last time you ate ?" He didn't respond. "Kid" he looked at me his mouth form a oh, then he answered. " I had an egg McMuffin for breakfast." I nodded at him, but there was something in the way he said that made me feel like it wasn't the whole truth. "What did you eat yesterday?" He looked away sheepishly. "Nothing, what I ate today is probably all I have eaten in a while." I sighed. What have I gotten myself into? I pulled out my Hulk go green lunch pail that Tony got me apparently it was a hot ticket item this back to school season. Tony found it hilarious, I on the other hand not so much, but if he gets his interns to make me a free lunch if not going to complain. I opened it and got out the snickers bar another joke from Tony, Who was just waiting for a moment when I was " turning green" so he could hand me a snickers and say " Hey Bruce you are not you when your hungry have a snickers" I handed the boy the snickers and told him "Eat this you lose a lot of blood you need some sugar." He slowly ate as we pulled into the clinic.
