23.Roof revelations

The conspiracy theories.

Is the only thing I have been listening to...

"The shield is hiding things from the world. Like the humanoid alien that crash landed here like twenty years ago. " the fat guy, Jim,  said stuffing fries in his mouth.

" um... a UFO?" I mumble brushing my hair away from my face. Sky shoots me a look.

Unicorn backpack guy, Vinny, sighs. " not just UFOs, like people with strange abilities... they hide those stories and keep it for themselves.  All we do is set them free..."

"To our 500 viewers " mutters Steve I think he is Sky's boyfriend.

I walk sipping my blue milkshake and sit in a ratty couch. " Why are you telling me this..." I take a moment to pretend like am thinking " secret?"

" well I think you have some skills in hacking... and we could use the extra hands" sky said.

" I am bored... I will join your SHIELD search." I say.

" that could be a cool tee" Red glasses guy , says taking a sip out of his thermo cup

----
Sky has been working me to the bone that I sleep with hands on ice. Good the thing I am a fast learner because I wouldn't have taken any more of that...

We did our first ' SHIELD search ' I was able to warn everyone in time that shield didn't find our location.

They left to celebrate I called Peter who is ecstatic about some new comic book... I had to cut the call.

Today I am feeling sick... Like my insides are burning up and I have a deadly cold... when I coughed I noticed some golden glimmers i freaked for a moment having difficulty breathing. Till I forced myself to calm down I took a six pack forgetting all my pain and sickness. I went to the roof and started drinking.

MY body has been getting weaker I could pass for a mortal now. My skin is pale, my eyes I not that green and no matter how much I eat I am just skin and bones. I was hoping monsters would show up and finish me up. I look up in the sky ...

" beautiful night isn't it?"  A voice says beside me I turn to see a man wearing black standing me. 

My legs are dangling on the side of the building. I just shrug not wanting to talk to some stranger while contemplating my suicide.

He moves fluidly and seats besides me like he was made of water or silk.  I look at him he has dark slicked back hat and is wearing sunglasses at night ' what a noob' I think while taking another swing of alcohol.

" I am have only seen stars a handful of times on earth " the man say to someone but hope it's not me.

When finish the third can I feel his stare as I open another can. I have few theories of who and what he might be.

" you know the fates think very highly of you... why let yourself go this easily?"

I freeze for a second then continue like I didn't hear him. Taking a huge gulp of alcohol.

" Percy Jackson the GREATEST swordsman of his generation, the Gorgon slayer, bane of monsters, Doom of titans and that's just the beginning. " the man continues I look at him.

" who are you? And who the hell told that 'sunglasses at night' would not put you in the pedophile list?" I question

He chuckles " king of sass... " he says and adds " if you must know I thought sunglasses were very... hip."

Hip? How old is this guy?

" as for the name... I am Chaos" he says removing his sunglasses and looking at me ... and he had a galaxy in his eyes an exploding and expanding one.

" you me like your parents are like reality and who is the other one?"I say thinking but alcohol stops me from thinking.

He chuckles again " well that's a first no one ever identified me by my parents. You are special. " he mumbled the last part

" you are the gods god." I say " does that mean you are a bigger asshole?" My drunk mouth questions

He laughs hard till he has tears.
"I should have met you sooner." He says.

"What do you want?" I question  knowing he won't answer taking another gulp.

" well you will be the prince of the universe and I came at the right time to give you the blessing that you shall receive."

I spit the alcohol and succumb a coughing fit. He has to be kidding me.

" no I am not prince of the universe and I will not take any blessings " I say trying to shuffle away from him.

" well you can't choose..." he says raising a finger. " when you wake up you will be better.

I am drunk so I couldn't stop his finger as it rested on my forehead and I blacked out.
