Bruce POV
Percy gripped the arrow tightly. I saw little lightning bolts engraved. Thalia Grace. This arrow belonged to her. Percys cousin. He's the last of the big threes children.

That hit me

He's the last of the big threes children.

I never realized how he was alone. Before he met us. And maybe sometime after he met us. About a year ago we found out about the nightmares. A few weeks before Nico ignored my warning. Nico has told us and we did our best. Steve and Bucky were the ones who had helped the most though. I smiled at Percy. He has no idea how strong he really is. Even if he did know, he would never admit it. Sam looked at the bracelets.I sat down as Percy sighed, "Before I met all of you, death was something I longed for. Death had never scared me since I was twelve. I had faced everyday with the lingering thought that I could die today. A demigods life is hell. We fight everyday. I am the oldest living demigod in Greek history." Clint sat down beside me and everyone else sat on the floor. "When the building crashed, I was sent to my uncles realm. He was very surprised to see me but the fates took me back. The fates told me that I am not done with my journey. At first I was upset. I couldn't get a break and just die. Then everything came rushing back. Dad, Steve, you all came back to my head and I had a panic attack. I was still under the rubble." Tears slid down his face, "I faced death almost every minute of my life. Pain was an old friend to me. But in that moment, I was scared out of my mind. If I died, I would leave all of you. I don't want you to leave and I don't want leave." I grabbed his hand, "Now, I'm not scared of death, but I'm trying to live as long as I can." He suddenly got up, "Calypso." He ran to the elevator and was gone just like that.

Peter POV
Pain. Darkness. Pain. I couldn't breathe. I was having a panic attack. Something I haven't had since uncle Ben died. Why? Why me? Is what Loki saying true? Is Percy playing with me? More pain. "Stop!" Something came crashing down on my skin. "Please!" I screamed. My voice was hoarse. It hurt but I still yelled. Are they even looking for me? Do they care?

Bruce POV
After two hours Percy came back. He had a beautiful girl with him. She looked about sixteen and had light brown hair in a braid down the side. She had on a white dress and sandals. She was about 5'4. A big difference against Percy. "Everyone. This is Calypso." She smiled, "Hello." I waved, "Hello. My name is Bruce Banner." She smiled even wider, "Percy was telling me about you." I chuckled. "He was?" He blushed slightly. "Steve Rogers." Steve came up behind me, "Bucky." She flinched at his metal arm, "Sorry." She apologized. "His actual name is James." Her eyes lit up, "The two crazy gay uncles!" Clint burst in laughter. "I guess that's our title." Steve just shrugged. "This is Clint." I said while he rolled on the floor. "The arrow guy?" Percy was pretty red, "Just so you know some of these names she made." She poked him. "That's tony." He pointed towards Tony who was daring Thor to touch him. "Thor." At his name he turned. Calypso bowed. "The Norse god of thunder." He shifted his weight. "Young one. If you are with Perseus there is no need to bow. Times have changed." She still was scared. "Where's Wanda?" Tony came up, "Shes studying. Two tests tomorrow and a paper due." Percy seemed disappointed. "Your chest?" Calypso ran up to him and touched the arc reactor. Tony jumped slightly. "What's wrong?" She was so worried. "Calypso, that's part of him. It's called an arc reactor." Percy said laughing. "Sorry." She blushed. Suddenly the widows broke. Green smoke came in. Percy was pretty much on Calypso. He was protecting her from Loki. "Loki! Brother! Stop this madness!" Someone laughed.

Percy POV
Calypso got up. "Loki! Son of Odin! I am Calypso! Daughter of Atlas! Stop this immediately and talk!" I froze as the guy came into view. His green and black armor. His horned helmet. He strode closer to her till their noses barely touched, well she looked up. I stood up. He saw me and backed up. "So, you've been released from your island, titan." She clenched her jaw, "You haven't changed." He abruptly turned to me knocking her down. "Your precious little spider is losing any fight he has in him. That is of course because he is starting to believe what I tell him." I tightened my fists, "You'll regret this." He laughed, "You can't hurt me. Not without breaking the vow you made to never control the blood of someone for evil or for war." I swung my fist and sent him tumbling straight into a wall. "I, Percy Jackson, swear on the river Styx, that not only will you die a slow and painful death, but you will never return to harm my family or earth again. I curse you to never win against anyone for the rest of your miserable life." Thunder rumbled and I shot a blast of green at him. His eyes widened as the curse hit him. And he disappeared with a pained look. I stood there panting. "Percy? What you did is not possible for a demigod." Calypso touched my arm. Everyone slowly stood up and looked scared. "He took Peter. And he's going to pay." I walked off and went to the elevator. My destination, Camp Half blood.

Tony POV
Dear god that kid is terrifying. After he left, Calypso sighed. "What did you mean by what he did isn't possible for a demigod?" Bruce asked her. His wrinkles showed. He had a lot of them. "He shouldn't have been able to curse him. Yeah, he can make an oath against him, but not curse him. Only a god or goddess can do that." She waved her hand and everything returned back to normal, "I can't do that." I swear I've never been so scared. "Loki said he can't hurt him unless he breaks a vow? What was that?" I asked. "That I do not know." Clint put a hand on Bruce's shoulder, "He's been through two wars. Can he handle a third? Can he have the self control to not destroy everything?" We all swallowed, "We also need to understand that Percy and Peter have a relationship like no one else. Loki made the fatal mistake of taking him. And know we know that Loki has been telling Peter lies that is making him give up hope. Percy's loyalty will kill him." Calypso sat down, "Loyalty?" Steve sighed, "His fatal flaw isn't pride. It's loyalty." She paled, "No wonder he's so powerful." There was a flash and I smelled the sea. "Where is he?" Bruce got a little green around his neck, "Why should we tell you?" Calypso stood up, "You have no right to say that your are his father and deserve to know." He sighed, "I know. And what did you mean by that ms why he so powerful?" She groaned, "No one understands anything!" She fell back into the chair, "Think about it. The first war threatened his family at camp. And then Annabeth was poisoned. His mother had been taken. His brother had turned evil. Many people had been killed. Ha had made a promise and he broke it, three different times for the children of Hades. The second war, took its toll after he fell." Poseidon was pale. "His power is stronger than the big three combined. Be lucky that you have Hestia and Hades on the council. Otherwise, he would have turned his backs on all of you. The Olympian council would would be replaced by him and a few demigods he deemed worthy."
