*Percy*

As we got to the hotel, there were lots of people running out screaming. A good sign that we came to the right place. We ran up the steps to floor 5. I was the first one up so I slowed down to peek around the corner.
My heart sped up when I saw everything that was here.
There were loads of monsters including Empousa (Luckily not Kelli, I seriously could be bothered to fight her today.) Telekhines, the Minotaur and Flesh eating Horses.

"Styx" I whispered as I remembered the weapons e were carrying.
"Whats wrong?" Tony, now in his suit, asked.
"Well, monsters from greek and roman mythology, can only be killed with special metals, like my sword. Therefore, your weapons wont do anything. Loki, Thor, yours might but I don't know." I sighed. Annabeth would know... She always knew. I felt a flashback coming on but pushed it down before it could overtake me and consequently, leave my friends with no protection.

"Okay, you all will just need to create a distraction, you wont be able to kill them but you can slow them down. Attack everything apart from that group of girls in the corner" The Empousa. "Only Natasha and I can face them. I'll explain why later, just don't go near them. Lets go!"

I ran out, not looking if anyone was following me. I ran towards my old friend, The Minotaur.
"Hey beef face, How are you? Its been a long time since Manhattan!" I shouted as he charged. I used the same technique I used years ago, when I first faced him. Wait until the last minute and then roll to the side. I landed the roll perfectly and repeated this for about 2 minutes until he got tired. When this happened, I managed to get a fatal strike in, making his body turn to gold dust and sending him back to Tartarus.

After this, I headed towards the group of Empousa.
"Ahhh, Perseus Jackson or the Lone Demigod. Everyones left you, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank. And you've turned your back on Nico, he sits every night, crying over the lone Demigod, dying emotionally more and more each night. All because of you Perseus Jackson." The tallest one, and I'm guessing the oldest, hissed at me. They obviously knew a lot about me. They knew my pressure point (my friends).

Because I was thinking about this, I only just had enough time to block the blow aimed at my side by an Empousa.
"The lone Demigod, would it not just be easier to join our side." She was using her charm on me, but it just didn't effect me anymore. I don't know why... Ill think about it later.
"Go to Hades" I snarled and started to fight them.
Not one of my best ideas, I must say.
When there where only 20 left, I was tiring and one of them sliced my side. I gasped in pain, not wanting to distract any of the Avengers. I put my hand to my side and finished the last 20 off. I then, still clasping my blood covered side went to fight a flesh eating horse.

As I took down 15 of them I started to feel really light headed, probably from the blood loss.
"Woah" I said as I stumbled. But of course all the monsters not paying attention to my friends, saw this as a sign of weakness and charged at me. I could barely stand up. I slashed as best as I could at monsters surrounding me, but I was slowly becoming over whelmed.

Just before I collapsed and became monster lunch, I saw someone kill all the monsters around me. Loki. He look at me... I think with concern? No, it cant be. It must just be my blood loss.

I looked around, only one Telekhine left. Steve was about to slice at him with the help of Thor (BTW Thor and Loki's weapons are working.)
"Wait! Before you kill me, I have a message for the Lone Demigod" I groaned.
"What?" I said trying to sound normal, I don't think any of my friends realised that I had a huge stab wound to my side. The blood doesn't look like mine. They probably thought that monster blood was red, not knowing that it was actually gold. I had to stay strong.
"You will join us, Perseus Jackson, sooner or later. If not... everyone you know and love will die, all the people you have turned your back on, all the people who have almost lost faith in you. Also, your little dead friends, Tartarus is ever so close to having them... join us. Join us and they will all be speared." He laughed and Steve and Thor finished him off. Meanwhile, my world was spinning. The blood loss I thought before I collapsed to the floor.

"Percy!" Clint exclaimed making the rest, who where still looking around the building stare at me.
"I didn't think it was that deep!" Loki muttered. However Tony was standing behind him.
"You knew he had been stabbed! And you didn't tell anyone!" Tony shouted. All the Avengers apart from Natasha and Clint who were with me, started to corner Loki with murderous looks on there faces.
"Wait stop." I said as loudly as I could, which turned out to be a whisper. "Loki saved ... my life. I owe .... him big ... time, so please .... don't kill .... him. He didn't.... know how ....deep ....it ...was." I had to keep pausing for breath. No one moved until Bruce said
" Loki? Would you mind teleporting Percy and I back to Stark towers please. I need to treat that wound quick- " i didn't hear the rest because my eyes had started to close.
"Hey, Percy! Stay Awake. Please, just stay awake." Natasha begged. However, as Loki and Bruce walked up to me, I gave them a small smile. I knew I wouldn't die because I was immortal. They had all forgotten that though or I had forgotten to tell them. Just before I fell asleep, I felt wind and then was laid do on something soft... a bed I presume. I didnt have time to tell the pair I was immortal because I just didn't have the energy.... Sleep.
