Superheros Raise A Greek Hero

Bad Dreams and Disasters

The world is cruel, when things are going right and you feel like you can touch the stars the universe reminds you how far you can fall. It was midnight when the team and I had gotten back from an assignment when a small body slams into my legs with enough force to topple somebody. I look down to see the light of my life, Percy, with tears welling in his bright mossy eyes. Streaks of liquid sorrow clearly leaving path down his normally rosy cheeks.

"What is the matter, tiny one?" Thor asks "If you need me to fight the monster under your bed, it will stand no chance"

Percy shakes his head making his messy black hair messier. Taking his small hand, I bend down to his eye level "Did you have a nightmare bud?". Percy nods gripping my hand tighter. "What happened?"

Percy's tears began to fall, each drop heartbreaking "He came back". His entire body was shaking in distress. Natasha got down to her knees and pulled him into her arms. "Smelly Gabe got out of jail."

Natasha rubbed his back as I replied "Don't worry, bud. He in jail and always will be"

"Not that he would survive your Aunt Tasha even if he did escape" Added Clint cheerfully. Percy smiled at him. "Now off to bed with you kiddo." Clint turned "Thor, you should go with him. Make sure that there are no monsters are under his bed."

Thor smiled "Tonight we battle the foul monster hide like a coward under the bed of our child .". Percy laughed leaving with him but not before turning back to wave and wish goodnight to each of us. 

A moment after he left, Jarvis came over the speakers "Sir, I believe you need to see this"

We all turned as the TV turned on and the woman on the screen gave the most horrible news "There has been a breakout in jail and we only caught one of the two people so far  be on the look out for him." The newscast lady said. "The mans name is Gabe Ugliano."

"Sir, Percy-" Jarvis started

Tony waved his hand weakly "Not now"

"But Sir. The child"

"Not now. Please Jarvis"

Jarvis seemed more intense this time "Sir. Percy-"

"Oh no who tells Percy?"

I gasped and Bruce might have stopped breathing, everything seemed bleaker than normal.

I know my eyes were blank as looked at my team "Somebody has to tell Percy". I sighed.

"That might be difficult, Sir" Jarvis informs us. I huff at the ceiling, there is no easy to say "You're Mother's killer is free after I literally told you everything is good now.'. "Young Percy left with a man as soon as you left the room"

With fear in our veins, we bolted toward the room pulled the covers down. He was gone.

"Jarvis who took Percy?" Tony demanded. 

"A man in a black hoodie, I could not a facial scan"

Natasha hissed "You are supposed to tell when someone get kidnapped immediately. 

Jarvis signed "I tried"

"Never mind this folly. Daylight is being wasted and we must find our child". Thor states before chuciing himself out the window in search of Percy.

The team crook in the city with any luck or trace til the Sunset. As the city turned dark we returned the tower. Where we searched his room for clues still coming up empty handed. The living fulled with a family ready to mourn the first night without their youngest. 

The TV flickered on with Loki's face appeared on the large screen. "Given up on the boy already have you?", The god drawled. 

Thor stood and the sky shook with lightening "Where is he, brother?"

A light 'tt' came from the villain "Like I would tell you " Then Loki smirked "Oh goodness me, I forget to introduce my help. Avengers meet my new sidekick" That in of itself was a bucket of ice cold horror.

Gabe Ugliano.
