Percy strolled down the road after having Blackjack drop him off a block away from his house. As the boy walked up the stairs to his apartment he shared with his mom and Step dad he straightened his clothes. After all why make his mom worry?

He opened the door. "I'm home!" Percy called. No answer. Percy took out his pen, it turns into a sword, called Riptide. "Mom?" No answer again. "Paul?" Again no answer.

Percy uncapped his pen and Riptide sprung to life. He search the whole apartment. No one was home. 'Okay,' he thought. 'Their phones.' So he called them but... He stopped when he heard the ringing coming from the bedroom.

He followed it to find both his mom's and Paul's phones in the bedside table.  He looked through the last texts and calls. Nothing... Nothing... There. In the call history there is a random number. It called three times before Paul answered it.

Percy wrote the number down and called it using Paul's phone.

Nothing. Until.... Click.

"Oh hello." A female's voice rang over the phone. She sounded sickly sweet. "Calling about mom and dad?" Percy didn't say anything. "Oh if you're not going to talk neither am I."

Percy talked. Just to keep her on the line. "Who. Are. You. And what have you done with my parents?" Percy's voice was deadly calm.

"Oh! So you do talk! Now here's the thing. I have see the Avengers have taken a liking to you. Now my cause really can't have you joining them or anything. So I've taken your parents. Now the only way you will get them back is if you turn yourself over to us." The woman's voice went from sickly sweet to as cold as ice. Like claws ever so slightly scraping your skin.

Percy growled into the phone. "You have just made the biggest mistake of your pathetic life." And he shut the phone.

Next thing he knew he was whistling for Blackjack and riding to go get help.

The boy came into the tower using the porch Tony used to take of his suit. He had on the same outfit as before but... The look on the young man's face could kill. His sea green eyes were dark and stirring. Like a great ocean storm.

Tony saw the kid first. "Whoa-" he was cut off by Thor's yelp. "Percy?! Um... Wh-what are you d-doing?" Thor tried to look casual by leaning on the sofa but just tripped.

Percy walked right up to Tony. "You're smart. You know technology. Can you trace a call from this phone?" He stood only a little taller than Tony but seemed so much bigger.

"Um... Why would I do that?" Tony tried to put up his wall of swagger. It didn't work.

"I asked if you could do it. Not if you wanted to." Percy practically snarled. He was very very angry... No he was furious. These people had gotten his family kidnapped. No one touched his family.

"Yes. I can." Tony said holding in a grimace.

"Good. The last call on this phone. Track it. Give me a location." He shoved the phone into Tony's hands and turned to the rest of the group. He met each of their eyes. "Your little mission just got my parents kidnapped. I'm not in the best mood right now." Percy showed this by gripping a counter until it broke into very small pieces. "You will have no more contact with me. Or anyone I know. If I find out you do I will personally kill each and every one of you. Got that?"

The Avengers didn't nod. But Percy took their shocked faces as promise enough. "Good." He purred. Tony came back with a laptop.

"The phone call was voiced all over the place so it took a bit to find where it came from. Here." Tony pointed at the screen. Percy nodded and walked out the way he came.

But Steve called out.  "Percy wait!" The boy paused but did not turn. "Join us. We can keep your family safe."

"I can do that on my own. Thank you very much." And with that Percy left.

Thor was still trembling after a few minutes. "What was that?" Natasha asked. She ran her hand through her hair.

"That. That was Percy Jackson when someone harms his family." Thor said. "Just be glad he wasn't after us."

"He can be quite scary." Bruce muttered. The others nodded. They had no idea.
