Percy POV
Unfortunately my mind decided to have a nightmare.
Nightmare
I was in that place again.
Chained to the wall
Bleeding from every point in my body
Annabeth was screaming
I yelled and yelled her name till my voice went hoarse
Hearing her scream, hurt. I felt pain, like a physical pain. And I couldn't do anything to stop it.
Eventually Tatar sauce came back in with Annabeth.
"She's going to watch us play. Wouldn't want one of us to get hurt no would we?" He mocked. I spit in his face, "leave..her..alone." I growled
He shook his head while making a 'tsk' sound.
"Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.
I trembled. Smelly Gabe used to say that.
"Percy? What wrong?" Annabeth didn't know. I never told her.
"Let's get started." I barely comprehend what he said because he brought down his whip.
I lost count after forty.
Annabeth was screaming but I barely heard.
They only thing going through my mind was Gabe.
He used to do this. Not often but once or twice.
I was barley aware of myself screaming.
"Now, lets get you cleaned." He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to a pool.
Except this pool had poison in it. He threw me in and I started to heal. Leaving only faint white lines.
Then the water started turning red. Not with blood though. I started to thrash. "Percy!" Annabe- Wait. That wasn't her.
"Percy!!" That definitely isn't her voice.
"Percy! Follow my voice!" There's a different one.
End nightmare
I woke up gasping for precious air. Uncle Bruce and Clint were at my sides. "Percy! Oh thank god you're awake!" I was pulled into someone. I felt tears streaming down my face. I was shaking so hard that whoever was holding me had trouble keeping me still. "Percy. Look at my eyes. You're not there. You're here. You're safe." Uncle Bruce was in front of. His hands were on my face forcing me to look him in the eyes. I slowly stopped shaking, the tears came to a stop, and my breathing slowly evened out. "I-I'm s-sor-ry I-I w-oke y-you both u-up." I stuttered. Still slightly shaking. Clint just held me closer. "Don't be. You're safe here. We're not letting anything happen to. Never again. I promise." I held my pinkie up. "Pinkie promise." I felt like an idiot but I wanted to make sure. Uncle Bruce smiled and grabbed my pinkie with his, "Pinkie promise." I dropped my hand and laid back into Clint. "Not a word to anyone okay Clint?" I found my voice after a minute or two. "Not a word." He replied dead serious. I got up slowly. I looked over to the clock. Six thirty. I sighed and got out of bed. "Do you normally get up this early?" Clint asked as Uncle Bruce got back in the bed. "Sometimes earlier." I went to the bathroom and turned the shower on. I stripped and stepped in. I let the freezing water soak me. I turned the warmer water on. I stood there not doing a thing for a solid five minutes. I eventually cleaned myself and got out. I wrapped a towel around my waist. I passed the mirror and I stopped. I slowly turned to face the mirror. My eyes. I looked away from myself. I never looked at my eyes before. I couldn't believe how shattered they were. I took deep breaths and went back out to get dressed. I turned to the bed and saw something that made me smile.
Clint was curled up beside Uncle Bruce. They were facing each other. Clint was buried in his chest and Uncle Bruce had an arm around him. I smiled mischievously and grabbed a phone I took a pictures. Lots of them. I left them to wake up with the awkwardness. I made breakfast and Steve came in. Through the front door. "Morning." I smiled at him. "Hungry?" He perked up, "Very." I laughed lightly. "But I need about ten thousand calories a day." I nodded and made pancakes, muffins, bacon and eggs. "There ya go." He smiled and ate every last bit. "That was about a thousand calories". He finished his food and set his plate in the sink, "only nine thousand to go." James stumbled into the kitchen and halfway missed the chair. He mumbled a good morning and I set down just as much food down in front of him. He looked at it and smiled. He started eating. As soon as he took the first bite his eyes widened, "This is amazing!" I chuckled, "Thanks." He looked up, "You made this?" I nodded my head. He just kept eating. Natasha came in next. I handed her a plate with a few eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon. She smiled her thanks and dig in. She ate pretty fast after the first bite, "Steve this is so good." Steve laughed and shook his, "I wish I could I thank you but Percy made this." She looked over to me with surprise. "Well, it's amazing" she smiled and made some coffee. Clint and Uncle Bruce stumbled in around eight. "Morning, cuddle buddies." I said trying not to laugh. "What?" Everyone said at the same time confused as to why I was laughing and they were bright red. "I took pics." I pulled the phone out of my pocket. They all surrounded me and started laughing. "Love birds!" Sam yelled. I turned around, "When did you get down here?" He smiled. "Just now. And I saw the picture." I laughed and fixed him a plate also. He did the exact same thing. Wanda can down with Peter not far behind. Everyone loved my cooking. Tony came down last mumbling something. "You okay?" He was so lost in thought that when I spoke he jumped. "Oh yeah sorry." I gave him his food. Same thing. "Did anyone else hear screaming this morning?" Tony asked after making some coffee. I stiffened. 'I screamed?' They noticed this. "Percy?"
"Yeah, um, sorry, that was me. I had a nightmare." I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment. "It's okay." That all smiled letting me know that I don't have to apologize for everything. After some silence Tony yelled from his room, "TOWER IS READY TO LIVE IN AGAIN!" We all cheered and packed. I again had to put my hood up. "Who's the kid?" "Is he a child of the avengers?" "Let's see him!" A reporter managed to get me hood off. I was bombarded with questions. "Silence!" I yelled and every reporter stopped yelling. "My name is Percy Jackson and my uncle is Dr. Bruce Banner. No more questions." I walked towards the doors with more reporters trying to get me to answer some questions. We all went up the elevator and saw Pirate. "Pirate? What are you doing here?" Everyone managed not to laugh. "You know why."
