Tony's POV

Standing by Percy's bed worriedly, I clutched my chin as I thought of how much longer Loki needed to get Percy out of his nightmare.

He'd never taken this long to get him out, and Percy's limbs were bent at odd angles, as well as his bones sticking out, so something wasn't quite right with his nightmares unlike the other two he's had.

Hearing a sudden gasp and someone inhaling to get deep breaths, I looked to see Percy sitting upright on his bed panting, adrenaline running through his system as Annabeth already bombarded Percy with 'Are you okay?' and 'What did he do?' type of questions.

Knowing he needed some space to gather his thoughts, I shifted my attention to the Norse God of Mischief who was just beginning to move and realise what had happened.

Taking note of his face, he had the look that he was thinking, confused, worried and scared at the same time. When it comes to Loki, that face is just his mouth hanging open as his eyes remained fixated to a random spot in the room as if he was stuck in his own fantasy land.

Wanda had come back from an unknown place in Percy's cabin with a full bucket of water floating with her magic, handing it to Annabeth who'd held it as if it were another book she read and poured the right amount of water on each cut, twist and wound Percy had suffered, her skin as pale as a ghost.

The uncomfortable sounds of bones snapping in place were made and joints being twisted back echoed through the air as Percy began to heal once more. Groans of pain and relief escaped Percy's mouth as he felt his body return to its normal state.

However normal it could get anyway, you'd hardly believe someone like him, even on demigod standards, was a normal person. Everyone who knew his story would believe that.

"You okay there Perce? Gave us quite the scare with the whole, um, bone-sticking-out thing," Peter spoke up, attempting to lighten the mood even the slightest. Honestly, he did manage to do so, but with not much effect.

"I'm fine. Just . . . Just gotta get back to my senses, that's all," Percy grumbled out, surprisingly with a dry throat. Hearing his grogginess, Annabeth swiftly fetched him a glass of water along with a jug in case he needed more.

Willingly taking the glass, he gulped the whole thing down within seconds, stopping to glance at Loki worriedly before refilling his glass. Within that time, Loki had returned the glance worriedly as he thought of the events of Percy's nightmare.

An eerie silence stretched out for multiple minutes until Thor decided on breaking the silence.

"Let us leave the young hero in peace. One in his situation knows that sleep doesn't come so easily," Thor mono-toned as he left Percy's cabin with huge steps.

Getting up, Loki ensured that Percy wouldn't have any dreams for the remainder of the night before heading off back to the Hecate cabin.

I remained by Percy's side, his bed sheets still stained with his blood which he finally noticed. Getting up to clean his sheets, I noticed that he winced slightly before getting up and bringing his blanket and bed sheets along with him to the sea that stood right next to his cabin.
