Prisoner Of The Spandexians (Leo Valdez Meets The Avengers)

The Return

I finished scrubbing the floor, and sighed in relief, as the sun came up. Today was my last day of my imprisonment.

Hades beckoned me, my chain disappearing as the sun rose.

"You have paid your debt for cheating death. Don't go doing it again, or you won't get away this easy." Hades said. I shuddered, if this was easy, what was hard? This had scarred me for life. Hades brought me to my body, which was still breathing. It was basically like I was brain dead.  Talk about morbid thoughts!

"I do need to inform you, that an hour in the fields, is the equal as half a year." He said I processed the information.

"That's 3 years and a half!" I panicked. I'd been away for over three years?! Yinkies! I was doomed!

Then I felt a warm sensation, as I was returned to my body and transported to New York, Avengers Tower.

I gulped, and went into the elevator. I found the Avengers, as well as some new ones, sitting on a couch. I walked up behind Tony.

"BOOOOO!!!" I screamed in his ear. He jumped a foot in the air, before looking at me in shock.

"LEO VALDEZ?!" He shouted, "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

Every one, who I knew or didn't know whipped around, or ran in.

"LEO VALDEZ!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD YOU IDIOTIC FIRE BOY!!!" Natasha screamed, I ducked behind the piano.

"Ummm... I was unaware that time in the underworld worked differently! It was a week to me! Imagine my shock when about 15 minutes ago I find out that it's been three and a half freaking years!" I shouted, officially confusing everyone who clearly had never heard of me.

"Underworld?" A kid my age asked curiously.

"Long story." I said.

"We're waiting." Tony said impatiently.

"Ugh!" I groaned, "please tell me you at least told your new team mates who and what the hades I am?!"

"Leo, we thought you were dead!" Bruce said quietly, "We didn't want to talk about our old dead teammate! It brought back memories!"

I looked down. I hadn't thought about it like that. A man on the couch stood up in frustration.

"Any one mind telling everyone what the hell is happening here?!"he shouted.

"Calm down, people!" I said, silencing the room, "I'm Leo Valdez. I'm half Greek God, half human. Also known as a demigod. I have fire powers, meaning I am fire resistant, and I can summon fire. I was also an Avenger for a few weeks. However, I sold my soul to Hades for a week. Turns out a week in the Underworld is three years and a half in the mortal world."

Every one stared at me. The other Avengers face palmed.

"Leo, you idiot!!!" Natasha shouted, grabbing a frying pan.

"Oh gods, not this again!" I shrieked as she swung it at me.

Everyone laughed as she chased me into the ceiling, onto piano, in the floorboards, through the catwalk, and into the furnace, where I stayed until she calmed down.

Maybe just maybe... I could finally live a happily ever after.

Camp half blood 5 months later...
(Still Leo POV)

I'm dead. I'm so dead!
