The Son of the Hulk

Chapter 13

AN: In honor of Nico DiAngelo, this chapter's song is by MIKA because the canon genre of music that Nico listens to is techno-pop (which is like one of he greatest things that Rick has done cause everyone expects Nico to listen solely to like the emo holy trinity so this is extremely funny to me but I can totally see him and Will like rocking out to this while dancing in the Hades cabin).

Natasha's POV

As Tony and Steve explain the problem to Percy, I see a mischievous glint start to grow in his eyes. As I watch his eyes meet mine and I see him subtly flick his eyes towards a door I hadn't noticed until then in the corner of the room. What is the kid planning? Looking up I point it out to Clint. Pretty soon the captain and the inventor have dissolved into a bickering mess and Clint begins to talk.

"Hey kid, what's that door over there."

"Oh that," grinning his eyes flash with mischief, "that is just where we stored some blueprints we had left over from previous wars. My friend Leo was going over them. I think he's on the second world war at the moment but he might have moved on to the cold war by now."

"Cool."

As Clint continues asking questions I see the bickering due start trying to eye the aforementioned door without the other noticing. When Percy pauses the conversation, saying that he had to make a call, he gets up and heads outside. Obviously, he wants to lure Tony and Steve through the door but why? I don't think that Bruce knows because he looks just as confused and suspicious as Clint and I. Hmm.

"Well I think that I might just go look at those blueprints myself. You know give them a professional opinion." Oh no.

"Stark they aren't yours leave them alone."

"Come on Capsicle aren't you just the slightest bit curious? I mean some of these things could have been for you to use in your campaign of honor and freedom and all of that."

"Tony, no."

"Um, Tony yes."

At that Tony gets up and starts making his way towards the door with a protesting Steve following close behind. There is no way that this will end well. At least it will be funny to watch. Slowly Tony opens the door, peering inside before taking a step into the darkness. As the door closes behind him we hear a faint shout and then silence.

Steve starts calling his name and Rhodey goes to get up and check on him but Bruce shakes his head, motioning for him to sit back down. Next thing we know, Steve has also disappeared into the room and Percy comes sauntering back into the room. Laughing he glances around at the rest of us.

"Well that didn't take as long as I hoped it would. Oh well, so what do you guys want to talk about while we wait?" At that Wanda gets a puzzled look on her face.

"What do you mean while we wait? What did you do?"

"Right. That. Well you see they are kind of trapped down there until there are no longer any hostile feelings between them and anyone else in the building, including the other. My call was to get Steve's friend James here, so once he arrives he will be a part of that. Until then we just have time to waste. You guys are welcome to go out on the beach or something while we wait." Catching onto some weird ways he worded things I decided to speak up.

"Trapped down there? Aren't they on the same level as us?"

"Not exactly Natasha. If you follow me, just don't step inside."

As he walks over we all get up and trail after him. Opening the door, he gestures downwards. Looking where Percy pointed I see Stark and Rogers trapped in what is basically a fancy jail cell around fifteen feet below us. I tried really hard to keep a straight face but when it the two of them don't even notice us because of their fighting I can't help it, I start to quietly laugh. Grinning beside me, Percy motions us away before closing the door. Behind us I hear Bruce sigh.
