Percy and the Avengers

14. A secret suprise

🏹

   Percy was sick. Very sick. How did that happen? No idea. Percy suspects it was from that drug the God gave him.

He was currently on the medical bed, accompanied by the Avengers and Loki.

   "You okay, Percy?" Peter asked.

   "Yeah, yeah, I'm just tired," Percy replied.

   "But you already slept!" Bruce exclaimed.

   Tony nudged him. "Besides, we have other things to do."

The Avengers seemed to get the message.

   "Alright, we'll leave." Bruce gave up.

   "Thanks," Percy muttered and fell asleep.

   Bruce blinked. "Well that was fast."

   "Am I in the 'Perseus birthday plan' as you call it?" Loki asked.

   "Ho-what?" Peter looked shocked.

   Tony sighed. "I suppose since you Percy enjoys your presence, you can come."

   "Good because even if you have   had said no, I would still have come," Loki admitted.

   "Lets go to the kitchen to start planning," Clint said.

💫

   All the Avengers, and the two Norse gods, were at the kitchen, trying to plan out a special birthday suprise for the teenager.

   "So, his birthday is tomorrow?" Steve asked.

   "Yep," Tony confirmed.

   "What cake should we bring?" Natasha asked. She never trusted the young boy, but she supposed since its his birthday soon, it will have to make do.

   "How about a chocolate cake with the words, 'trouble maker,' ?" Peter suggested. "Or does that sound too cringy?"

   "Its perfect!" Tony exclaimed.

   "Any games for tomorrow?" Wanda asked, who had just come back from her mission.

   Clint's eyes lit up. "How about a game of Twister?"

   "What is Twister?" Both Thor and Loki asked at the same time.

   "We'll explain tomorrow," Tony said.

   "So, the kid wakes up at precisely one p.m, but how will we get him to the party room?"

   "My bróðir over here," Thor patted Loki's back. "can assist us."

   "How so?" Natasha asked.

   "I could make gems or something interesting to appear." Loki said.

   "And what would that do?"

   "Perseus would be curious, he will pick it up, I make more of the item, and then lead him here," Loki explained.

   Steve eyed Loki warily. "How can we trust you?"

   "Just trust me, you absurd man!" Loki snapped.

   Steve looked offended. "Fine."

   "Anyway, Loki gets Percy to the party room, we suprise him, and then we can play games," Tony finished off.

   "Okay, tomorrow everyone wakes up at twelve p.m, I don't want anyone late." Steve eyed Tony.

   "Hey!" He whined.

   "Just come early, Tony."

   "Fine."

   "Who will bring the cake?" Thor asked.

   Clint raised his hand. "I'll go."

   "And I'll come with, in case he does anything stupid," Bruce said.

   "Rude," He muttered.

   "You guys can not forget the other foods," Natasha said.

   "Don't worry," Bruce reassured.

   "And the decorations!" Natasha reminded as they both left.

   A far away voice yelled, "Okay!"

   "Good, then it's all settled. Let's go to sleep," Steve said.

   "And where would I sleep?" Loki asked.

   "Shouldn't you be in your cell?"

   Loki smirked. "I suppose. But now I am not."

   "Just sleep next to Percy's room." Tony said.

That got Loki's attention.

   "What?" Peter began.

   Tony grumbled. "I don't like it either but it's the only room we have for tricksters."

   Loki's eyes lit up. "So I shall pick Perseus up from the medical room and put him in his room."

Natasha took out her knives and placed them at Loki's throat. Loki easily snapped his finger and her knives were on the floor.

   "Hurt him, Loki, and we're all after you," Steve threatened.

   Loki put on his trademarketed smirk. "Bye mortals." And he left.

💫

   All the Avengers had already went to their rooms. Loki crept to the medical room where Percy was sleeping, and is still asleep. Loki looked at the demigod curiously before scooping him up in his arms. Immediately, Percy started thrashing.

   "It is me, Perseus," Loki said softly. "Loki."

Percy began whimpering in fear. Loki ran one hand through Percy's soft, black hair and walked to their rooms. Eventually, Percy calmed down.

When Loki reached Percy's room, he went in and placed the teen on the bed, covering him with the covers. As Loki was leaving, he heard a voice call him.

   "Loki?"

   Loki turned around. "Yes Perseus?"

   "Thank you."

Loki looked suprised but quickly snapped out of it. "Your most welcome."

   "Goodnight."

   "Goodnight," Loki whispered back and went out the door.
