The Little Miracles

Azule's POV

Tony's tower was put on hold for a bit until he can get to it. He's been really busy with the war or whatever going on.

5 year old Maria was happy and running around me as I cooked dinner for us 6 people, as Pepper would be staying over, they had broken up recently but we're still good friends. The reason why, is still unknown to me.

"Maria, be careful and stop running around me please, I'm cooking and I don't want you getting hurt." I said as I stopped her.

"Buuuut A, I'm bored!" She said as she clung to my leg.

I sighed. "Buuut Marriiiaaa, you want some ice cream after dinner don't you?" I asked a smirk growing on my lips.

She instantly let go and bounced in her spot. "Ice cream?!?!" She asked excitedly.

I nodded. "But that's only for good girls who listen." I told her.

"I'll listen!! I'll listen!" Casey said in her baby voice as she came running into the kitchen, Kaius not far behind.

"Good, can you guys set the table?" I asked them, the plates and such already there, just needed to be set.

"Ojay!!" They all yelled and quickly tackled the table.

"Mmm, what smells so good in here?" Tiny said coming up from his lab.

"Dinner sir." Jarvis said, a hint of sarcasm there, to which I laughed at.

"Right, thanks Jarvis." Tony said dryly.

"Anytime, sir." Jarvis replied and I swear he'd have been smirking.

"Why'd I make him so sarcastic sometimes?" Tony asked as he came in and kissed my forehead before doing the same to the kids who were excited for dinner.

I laughed. "Cause it so you to do so. Plus, if you ever meet Percy, he'd go all Persassius Jacksasson on you."

"Persassius?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Yup, it's his sass mode name. I do say he might just be the God of Sass." I laughed as I finished up and put the steaming dinner on the table.

Tony laughed as well. "I would love to go on a battle with him, I'm said to be quite infuriating. By the way, this looks absolutely delicious." He said as he helped serve the kids, and himself as I served myself some after pouring the soda.

"Oh I know you are." I said then after a thought, said. "Thanks."

Pepper walked in her shoes off as I could tell she was tired from the day. "Well, I have set up everything, done, all of it, for when you get back from your trip to Afghanistan and do what you do best." Pepper said as she sat down serving her self as she smiled at Kaius who gave a big toothy grin her way.

"Your going to Afghanistan?" I asked wearily.

Tony nodded. "Yup, got to show off some of the weapons I've made to help win this war already."

I stayed quiet for the rest of the meal feeling a bit worried.

The next day I was at the door, as I watched Happy and Tony go for a race. My frown ever present on my face as I watched them go. My dream last night didn't help at all.

All it did was make my fear for Tony spike. It was just a simple quick flash of a dream but it still spooked me.

It showed a bright glowing from a round circular object, then a metal face, and the something falling from the sky to hit sand.

I sighed and went back inside to get Mafia ready for school, which she excelled at, already in 1st grade having passed preschool and kindergarten. But it also helped that Athena and Poseidon had blessed her. But then again, it made my job of protecting them just that bit harder.

I was sitting on my bed, either twin beside me sleeping away when Rhodney came in looking grim.

"He's not dead is he?" I asked immediately at the look on his face, having seen it many times before.

He shook his head. "He's MIA, we were attacked on our way back, they took him, and we have no clue where he is or if he is alive." He said solemnly.

I nodded, trying not to freak out and go to find him, cause I would be leaving Maria, Kaius and Casey behind.

"Thanks Rhodney." I said softly and he left.

I looked up at the ceiling where glow in the dark stars were all around and it was a pretty sight at night. I got up carefully and made sure the twins were still asleep as I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

I looked into the mirror at my sea green eyes, pale face, longish blue green dyed hair, and small figure dressed in a long blue shirt and black shorts. I took my shirt off and looked at my Smith looking skin. Frowning, I snapped my fingers, and there it was...you could see all the scars I had, everything, and from my dreams, more like nightmares, I know I'll be having to help my Uncle out a bit, as he'd have gone through something minor to what I have.

I sighed as I traced the one that went from my left side collarbone, to the middle of my chest. The memory of how I got that still haunting me.....

Shaking my head and the echo of my demons I put my shirt back in, snapping my fingers again to hide all of the scars I was ever given, and went back to bed were I snuggled the twins and went to sleep the best I could with Tony popping up into my head.

To say the least, I didn't have a good sleep that night.

What what, I finished another chapter? Yaaaayy!

Fact time.

As you can tell by the end here, Azule, like many demigods, or he used to be, can somewhat predict things and he predicted his uncle kidnapping and his minor torture he'd endure. Making him remember his own torture that he went through. Explaining all the scares and such that he hides with the most, making it strong enough that even people that can see through the mist can't see it.

It will be explained more later on in the story.

Peace out! See ya next time!
