"Forty eight", Bucky corrected with a grin as annabeth poored tea into steves cup, Percy set down a tray of strawberries while shooting annabeth an embarrassed look.

Tony felt blood pool down his head, he groaned and rolled over broken glass, eyes fluttering open, he saw Natasha getting dragged out of the bus door, witch now hung over them seeing as the bus was toppled on its side.
He watched bucky and Apollo hoist natasah out if the toppled bus, and he moved to get up.
"C'mon! Before the other agents catch up!", he heard ares bark, "we aint leaving them here to die!", Bucky snapped back and moved to Tony.
"What- what happened?", Tony blinked rapidly, feeling the concussion he had make him sink back to the floor.
"Hepheastus sent a mechanical bull to fetch us- and it didnt turn out to well", Bucky pulled tony up and draggrd him towrds the door.
Tony looked at two of the agents, "are they...","dead, yeah", Bucky said solumly, Bucky steadyed tony on his feet ,Apollo and Ares reached down into the bus and grabbed his arms, then hoisted him out of the wreckage.
Tony winced in pain as ares and Apollo heloed him climb down the wreckage and onto the road, it was bright, the sun was blazing and the wind was non existent, je turned and rubbed dry blood off his eyes as Bucky landed next to him.
"Lay him with the rest, let us take our leave", a bearded man said, he was huge , bigger than ares and Thor, he held an axe and wore welding clothes, Tony stumbked back at the sight of the man.
"Hepheastus , we shouldn't leave him-", Apollo started, but was cut off with a glare, "he made the first iron man suit out of sand and scraps, he'll be fine", a huge mechanical bull lumbered past them, tony rubbed his forehead.
"This is one hell of a concussion", he muttered, Bucky shot him an amused look as he say him next to Natasha, who looked dazed and bloody.
"Are you-","-its not... My nlood- mostly", she said distantly, she flinched when hepheastus shot her an angry look.
"Apollo-",Bucky started, but was cut off by a hammer embedding its self near his feet.
"No heal, they'll only cause trouble", he pointed , the waved a hand to the road, "we're to head back to camp", he instructed, "the hell i am", ares snapped.
"My daighter is in the middle of no where and the fish kid is no use to her anymore, she on a tiny ass boat in the sea of monsters -", "-what you you mean no use ", Bucky said, whirling around to look at Ares.
"He's dead, the ship exploded because skyla, and now-", Ares let out a choked yell as bucky metal hand grabbed his throat.
"He's What ", "ship- ex-expoded, clarisse prayed- he was in the engine room-",ares kicked his feet wildly, Bucky let him go in shock.
"Ill kick your ass!", ares lunged at bucky, who didn't move, Apollo blocked ares and shobed him backwards, the two shived against each ither yelling, Hermes, still sporing a gun wound, rubbed his temples while giving bucky a pitful look.
"Shush", he said, the two kept fighting, "all right, would you bith just shut up?", he said louder as ares clocked apollo in the jaw.

"And he isn't dead",Hermes snapped as ares straddled apollo and started whailing on him.
Bucky stared straight a head, skin turned white at the knews, "Barnes, he's not dead- we'd know, and all ares said was that the ship exploded, he's got the water gift right? He probably survived it", he assured.
Hepheastus watched weorly as bucky nodded, without warning hepheastus kicked ares on his ass and grabbed buvky by the arm ruffly, we must go to camp", he insisted.
"Wife pleads for help", he stated, "you cant just-", tony struggled to his feet, "-destoy us, kill us,then leave", he heaved angrily.
"Thise kids arnt safe... Around him", he wanted, hepheastus stepped in front of Bucky and gave tony a soft pitiful look, "you'll be fine, inventor", he shoved bucky towards the street, the ither gods got up and stalked off.
"How did you know i made the forst suit there", Tony demanded as hepheastus turbed to leave.
He turbed his head slightly too look at the pained hero, "Howard was my son", he stated, Tony stepped back in shock,"no, no he...","was troubled , yes, a dick", hepheastus mused.
His grin dropped at tonys torn look, he iffered him these last words before he lumbered off with the others, to defend camp, to defend his kids.
"It isn’t easy being a brilliant inventor, always alone. Always misunderstood. Easy to turn bitter, make horrible mistakes. People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can’t be fixed."
He gripped the bridge of his nose, "I could not fix him, all i could do was send someone to make sure he did good", Tony stared, "My mother... You sent her...", hepheastus gave him a sad look.
