"Percy! Stay awake!" I shook her trying to keep her from passing out.

But despite my efforts she fell into unconsciousness.

I took off my light jacket that I wear under my leather one.

I used that to staunch the bleeding from her stomach. I hope none of her vital organs were damaged.

Five minutes later a helicopter touched down.

Looking up I saw the rest of the Avengers hop out. They ran over to where I was. Except for Vision who flew around the area scouting for attackers.

"What happened?" Steve asked looking at me.

"Two cheerleaders with knives. Apparently have a vendetta against Percy. Now can you help? She's losing a lot of blood."

My jacket was almost completely soaked in blood.

"Vision!" Clint yelled getting his attention.

He flew over to me and Percy and looked her over.

"It may be detrimental to her health if we were to move her in her current condition."

"Vision if we don't move her it is very likely she could die." I said staring at my friend.

She is like an older sister to me, I can't lose anyone else I consider family.

He bent down and gently picked her up bridal style.

"I'll keep her safe." He flew off towards the compound.

"Let's go." I hopped into the helicopter and put on my seatbelt.

The others made their way in. Stark made some comment but I wasn't paying attention.

I stared at my hands which were covered in blood, Percy's blood.

Natasha handed me a towel knowing what I was thinking.

I wiped my hands and we sat in silence the rest of the ride.

Something I was grateful for. I don't think I could put up with Stark anymore today.

Upon landing I was the first out, walking towards the medical bay.

Percy was in the isolation ward, made for when we have injured detainees.

I walked in to the room where a doctor was hooking her up to different machines.

"How is she?" I asked.

"She's stable but I can't get her wound uncovered. I can't cut off the bottom of the shirt. I get close to her with scissors or anything sharp she freaks out."

I nodded. He looks like he has something else to say so I gestured to continue.

"She lost a lot of blood but her body is replacing it at a rate that surpasses Steven's."

My eyebrows raised. She was replacing blood cells at a faster rate than Steve. Is she enhanced?

"Well that's unexpected. Can you get a chair in here?" I'm not leaving until she wakes up, no matter what.

"Of course." As soon as the doctor stepped out the heart monitor flat lined.

"Code Blue!" A voice announced over the speakers. The doctor rushed back in with the defibrillator

He charged them up. "Clear!" He pressed them on Percy's chest and she lurched forward.

He tried a few more times before stepping away.

"Perseus Jackson, time of death 14:38 PM." The doctor said with a sad tone. He walked out probably to file the report.

"No Percy." I said grabbing her hand, tears spilling down my face. I sat there sobbing, because fate seems to hate me.

It seems to like tearing everyone I care about away from me. I know I just met Percy a couple of days ago but still. She's like a older sister to me.

But then I heard it. The beep of the heart monitor. It was beeping about once a minute but it was beeping.

The amount rose steadily until it was around seventy BPM.

Her eyes flickered before opening.

"Why so sad?" She asked. I laughed slapping her arm.

"You died. You're heart wasn't beating."

"Oh I thought I crashed my funeral. But yeah my heart didn't stop beating. When I'm asleep my body goes into like hibernation." I don't believe it.

"How does that even work?" She seemed dead. Unmoving.

"My heart is extremely strong and it can slow to a beat per minute while still keeping me alive. Just because I'm asleep doesn't mean this happens though. Only if I'm injured." That's some freaky bodily function.

"So it keeps you from bleeding out." I finished. It reminds me of how Fury apparently faked his death with that drug.

"Yeah. You know something?"

"What?" I asked curiously.

"I once crashed my own funeral. I don't know how but I lived when everyone thought I was dead." She laughed causing her to start coughing.

"Here." I handed her a cup of water that was on the nightstand.

"Thanks." She sipped the water, a little color returning with each sip.

"Who were those cheerleaders?" I asked staring at her.

"Kelli and Tammi. Been trying to kill me since I was fifteen. You think they would have learned a lesson." She shook her head.

"You know we are being watched, right?" She pointed at the one way mirror.

The door opened revealing Steve, out of uniform.

"Perseus-" he started.

"Call me Percy." Percy interrupted looking at her nails.

"Percy, you are under arrest for suspected terrorism and resisting arrest." Steve stared at Percy.

"What do I have something on me?" She looked down at her ruined shirt. "Well dam. I just got this clean." She sighed.

"Do you want a new shirt? We can throw that one away." Steve offered.

"Nope. I'm fine thank you." This time Percy stared at Steve. "Have I seen you before? You look like someone I've seen recently." She tapped a finger on her chin.

"I could ask you the same thing but you are-" he was interrupted once again by Percy.

"Apartment fire. 845 Ninth street Manhattan."

Steve stared at her. "How did you? Did you set that fire?" Steve accused.

I looked at my friend to see her eyes dark and swirling. "I would have never set that fire. My mom was in that building in the apartment that collapsed." She said darkly.

She started silently crying and I glared at Steve whose expression had softened a great deal.

"Percy its okay. I'm here okay." I sat on the edge of her bed, laying an arm over her shoulder.

"I'm sorry." She wiped her eyes with the back of her arm. I caught a glimpse of a tattoo on her forearm.

I thought I saw one similar on Nico's arm too.

Nick breezed through the door.

"Ready Princess? Well you fucking better be because we are getting fucking answers."

"Stupid ThunderCunt!!! Hitler is my dad, ok!!??? Ride my d*insert word because I don't want to type it because haha I won't completely ruin my friends book* not my nerves," she said as she bitchslapped everyone.

Sorry. Get back you ravenous she devil! My friend kinda took my Chromebook. If you didn't notice. So yeah.
