Superheros Raise A Greek Hero

Bad Dad And Worse Hero

As soon as Percy gets better from his fever it goes back up again. It seems like there is nothing that we can do, even Fury is looking up temperature dropping methods. Bruce says that 101 degrees is better than 105 but that's not stop me having a panic attack. 

Now I'm sitting on our bed watching a cartoon with a talking dish sponge, honestly I am not paying attention. I am watching Percy as he pulled the light blanket over his head covering his bright red cheeks. He said earlier that his stomach ached so we tried get him to eat and that backfired (upfired?). In short Bruce thinks that he has Appendicitis. Tony thinks that he has Influenza. Both seem bad to me.

Bruce is going to give him a checkup today but I haven't told Percy. Not that he would hear me over whatever is happening on the screen. After a couple more episodes of The Star person doing stupid things Bruce finally walked in. I picked up Percy, whom curled into my heat. 

"Where are we going?" Percy asked tired green eyes gazed at me. I blow some air in his face so that he would forget the subject and I  didn't have to lie. "Steve Stop", came a giggle-cough. "Where?"

I sighed if I didn't want a rustling 9 year in my arms then it was time to lie "To pick the color for you're new room" 

"Oh, I want Blue please. Can we go back now?" The request killed my heart a little. How do genetic parents do this, I'm dying. he put his head on my shoulder and I can tell it got worse, I can feel it through my shirt. 

When we got to Bruce's lab, Percy head lifted, looked around and frowned this is not Spongebob". 

"No, We have to give you a checkup-" I boop his nose -"then we'll pick which shade of blue". 

"No thanks"

"It will make healthy again then you can. Go swimming, Play on Clint's new child friendly games, and help paint your new room". At this point climbed onto the hospital bed.

"Well let's go". He settled down on the bed hopefully to play again. Bruce took his temperature which was up to 103 degrees. Then his eyes and red tipped ears. His eyes were fine but, both of his ears had infection in both ears.

Then it was time to check Percy's vitals  which meant that his shirt had to come off. As Percy took it off we saw his scars. "Natasha if you are somehow listening, you have my blessing when you kill Gabe. How you'll do it with the color blue is to be seen but, feel free."

I sigh "She told you". Bruce nodded.

Then came the next and most important part which was seeing if he needed his appendix taken out, so Percy went though the CT Scan. Turns out that Bruce was right, Percy had appendicitis. And his inflamed appendix was about to blow up soon. Whelp I have failed a parent and maybe a superhero, because Natasha killing Gabe seemed a lot less important then Percy's health.

I picked up Percy who fell asleep while we were talking about treatment. When we got the kitchen everybody was eating lunch so we informed them of Percy's condition and Natasha of Bruce's approval of Gabe Ugliano's murder. Which still mostly don't care about. with the team up to date we rushed Percy to the hospital. He was instantly taken to the operating room.

It took the doctor 1 hour, 16 minutes, and 24 seconds to fix my child. The nurse said we were lucky that his inflamed appendix didn't blow up and that like the scan had show we cut it too close for comfort.

We walked in the room together. I was hold Natasha hand so that I could a grounder to reality and she could sneak away and murder Ugliano. Mostly for me thou. Then she took a picture after we sat down to wait for him to wake up.

"For the scrapbook" She murmured. "To remind him how strong he is". I smiled and wondered who's idea was it and when was I aloud to see it.
