Broken (Percy Jackson/Avengers crossover)

Mercy

Percy POV

Ow. My insides were on fire. The scars on my chest felt like thry just opened. Like my skin was tearing apart. The whip lashes felt like they were drawn on with lava. All in all it hurt.

Like Hell. 

I groaned for the millionth time, my head pounding in my skull. I should be fine, I should be sick- not feel like I just dived into a volcano.

Something went into my skin, and I whimpered quietly. Somebody rubbed my forehead soothingly.

'It's gonna be alright buddy' 

And soon I was drifted into dreams.. or in my case torture. 

All I could see was inky blackness. The darkness of knowing that I might not live. That I might leave Annabeth, my friends- alone. This can't be happening.

No anything but this.. 

Please.. 

I slashed the hellhound then stabbed at the empusae. Duck. Slash. Roll. Stab. Pounce. 

The Giant War. Is here. 

There's no stopping it. ... It's fate. 

What felt like eternity, the monsters were all gone. Golden dust was showered eveywhere. It was deathly silent- like the begginning of torture. No cheers. No laughs. No smiles. Just..

Death. 

I spun around. Frank lay there with glassy eyes staring into the embers of his lifeline. I ran up to him and cupped his cheek. 

'You're not dying on me, Frank your'e gonna live' I whispered- but he looked at me with lifeless eyes. 

Hazel had a spear through her chest, blood oozing out like a never ending waterfall. 

Piper had an arrow in the heart, I could see the shaft pointing out of her back.

Leo had been drowned to death. His mouth was still pouring out water. 

Jason had slash marks across his chest. I ran up to him and checked his pulse. He was alive. But barely. 

'Jason.. hang on buddy. ' I said, staring into his emotionless eyes. 

'Percy.. Avenge us.Please...' One emotion lingered in his eyes- hatred. Hatred for war, And bloodshed. And Gaia...

He lay there. 

Annabeth. 

Please. 

Let her live. 

I beg of you..

Then I saw her. In the grip of Gaia's hands. She threw Annabeth across the battlefeild. I ran like my life depended on it. 

Which it did. 

She coughed up blood. Breathing heavily. She caressed my cheek and wiped a lone tear. 

' Percy- don't grieve over us. Live your life. Find someone new...' Red was smeared in her hair, but mostly over her heart. 

' I love you...' Her hand dropped off. Blood trailing down my cheek. I pressed my lips against hers, remembering the warmth.

One. 

Last. 

Time. 

I arose, blood coursing in my veins. I gripped Riptide, and glanced at the bodies of my friends. 

Tears streamed down my face against my will. 

A manical laugh pumped through the air. 

' Young Persues, so brave yet weak. I killed them. I killed them all! Their blood smeared on my hands. Especially of that girl, what was her name.. Annabelle' That was it.

I pounced on her and punched her until she was black and blue. Golden ichor poring out. 

I held the sword to her neck. Fear was evident in Gaia's eyes. 

'Please h-have mercy' she begged. More rage flared. 

'No! You didn't show my friends mercy. You didn't show earth mercy. You didn't even show your children mercy' And with that I peirced her heart with Riptide. She screeched and faded away. 

I collapsed. Mentally and physically. 

That night thay started. 

The Flashbacks. 

The nightmares. 

Pain. 

Torture....
