5 years after Percy's disappearance
Ryan
BOOM! Explosions racked through the room. I nimbly dodged the bullet aimed heading towards my chest.
"Blake! Restrain him." I looked behind as I saw him leap through the door, chains sprout from his body and hold the man down. Psylocke and Flutter slowly walked towards the thrashing business man.
"You wanna do this or should I?" Flutter asked. Psylocke waved to him and Flutter smiled. I turned my head to spare myself the image. Three armed guards walked into the room, guns raised. Psylocke stepped next to me. I held my arm in front of her, telling her I got it. I took out my rod and it extended into a staff. I spun it, to show off, and went into action.
One attempted to fire at me but I disarmed him and swung at his neck. He fell to the ground. I swung my staff around my neck and knocked the second man's gun out of his hand and kicked him in his gut. I put my rod away and swiped my hand through the air. Water formed and I spun around and struck my fist out, blasting the man backwards. Then I made the water slither towards him and wrap around his neck. Cutting off his airway. He struggled for a bit but soon he grew slack. The water retreated into the air. I was about to face the last man when I heard a thud from behind me and I saw Psylocke standing over a body, her glowing psi-knife retreating from her tight fist. Blake and Flutter walked past us.
"Time to go" He said
After making it outside we stopped in our tracks when a huge and heavy figure dropped to the ground. I couldn't exactly make out what it was or who it was exactly but suddenly everyone got worried. It's back straightened and mechanical eyes lit up.
"SENTINEL!!!" Psylocke yelled. Everyone spread out fast. The sentinel approached me, lights flew over my body before it turned away from me. That was weird, Psylocke seemed to agree before running off into the night.
"Blake, Flutter it's just us now."
"I wont be of much help Ryan." Flutter told me.
"Just don't get hurt!" Blake and I leaped into action. Chains shot out at the sentinel but it grabbed them and tossed Blake aside. I took out my staff to attack it but it picked it up and threw it behind me. I spun around and vapor traveled on it's back. I pulled off my ring that was on my finger and jammed it into a crevice in the sentinel's armor. I leaped off and landed on the ground with my leg extended. I stood up. I made a fist at the sentinel and slowly spread my fingers. The parts inside the sentinel started to groan and strain. I raised my hand up and the sentinel exploded. Gallons of water gushed out and sentinel parts flew all over. The water slowly trickled to me and it rose up off the ground to form a trident. Anger filled my body and I slashed my hand across it. I felt some water wrap around my finger but the rest fell to the ground and vanished. I held out my hand and my staff flew into my grasp and I walked away.

9 months after Percy's disappearance
Natasha
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed. Pain was all I felt.
"You are doing great just keep pushing." Artemis told me.
"Her vitals are steady. Keep going." Apollo told her
How ironic that with all the technology in this room we'd still need help from the gods. What are th-
"UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed again. My short curly hair was drenched in sweat and sticking to my forehead. My skin was probably pale green and my face contorted in pain. Percy would've thought I look beautiful.
"I see the head. Natasha, a couple more. It's going to hurt soon with the shoulders but just keep going." She told me
The rest of my team was by my side holding my hand. Even Thor and Pietro who had hated Percy. Ryan, who was sitting in a chair next to me was trying to contact Percy and tell him his children were being born. He had kept that up for the entire pregnancy, trying to communicate with someone who is long gone. He hadn't been able to ever get through to him however. After a lot of tears and screams a very high pitched shriek resonated in the room. A smile automatically graced my face as I saw my two beautiful children.
"Twins. A boy and a girl." Artemis said
"They're healthy" Apollo and Artemis said at the same time. They flashed out to give use privacy and we all knew to avert our eyes. Surprisingly the babies knew too. They closed their eyes and opened them after the twin gods were gone.
My girl. She had little brown curls sprouting from her tiny head and vibrant green eyes. She smiled up at me and looked around the room. The other avengers had left the room so it was just Ryan and I. She looked like me. A lot. But her eyes were full of wonder and excitement that reminded me of Percy.
"They're adorable." Ryan said.
"Go say hi to your uncle little one." I handed her off to Ryan
My boy. He was Percy's twin. Black hair and sea green eyes. He smiled and giggled and waved his small feet around. I had gave him my finger and he had a tight grip. Well for a newborn. I could see this one would be in a lot of trouble. I kissed his forehead.
"Athakis. Athakis Jackson." I said
Ryan stared at his niece. "Emilii Jackson"
The smell of seawater filled the room and Poseidon stood in the door-frame.
"Are these my grandchildren?" He asked a smile on his face.
I gestured for him to come in. He walked to my bed and was about to reach for them when his head snapped up.
"I apologize. I must leave at once." He flashed out before I had time to say anything. I looked to Ryan.
"They're beautiful." He said thoughtfully. He seemed distant, distracted. "I think it's time for me to go."
"What? Why? You just saw them!" I was scared. He handed my squirming daughter back to me.
"I need time to figure something out. I'm not going to find the answer here. I'm sorry. Take care of them." he looked ready to leave.
"Ryan you are all I have left of him." I sobbed
He walked to me. "You have them now." He hugged me before his slowly started to fade away leaving the smell of seawater in his place.
A teardrop fell from my cheek and Athakis raised his hand and it stopped in midair. I gasped. Emilii then blinked her eyes and I swear I saw a spark inside the little droplet before it evaporated.
I looked down at them.
