When it seemed like Percy faint heart had managed to somehow get fainter, I almost tripped in my panic trying to run faster. The team let the hospital know I was on my way so when I ran in they immediately set him in a bed. I stayed beside the bed with him a doctor told me to leave the room. I glared at the woman but I knew I had to listen to her.

I began to pace right outside of the room "You can see your son in about twelve minutes unless he needs to have surgery" The nurse told me. I thanked him and sat down.

Ten minutes and the hospital wait room was filled with the Avengers. Bruce pacing around in a circle mumbling about how he is a doctor and they won't let him help. Thor slumped down in a chair tapping his foot deep in thought. Tony failing to woo a nurse into letting him see Percy. Natasha and Clint making a list of blue things that can kill. i took a deep breath two more minute before I go to see Percy or back to pacing.

I take a look at the hallway that I know Percy is down "Funny to think my sheild has the color blue on it". I hear the sound of pen on paper, If my friends add that to their list then it is none of my business.

Tony gave a dark chuckle "I have a Blue suit that I made for Pepper.It might a different woman I know". The sound of writing.

"Pour paint on me as Hulk and give three hours". A click and the pen was at it again.

The Nurse called the words "Percy Jackson's family" just as I was standing to pace with Bruce. We all walked down the hallway into the hospital room. The poor thing as pale as trash bag with how tired his eyes are I won't be if he felt like trash too.  "Hi" Percy murmured trying to smile at us. He sleppy green eyes turned to me "Dad?"

I smiled "I am so glad that okay" Tony gave me a look "Well not okay, I am happy you're alive. We looked everywhere for you. We thought we had lost you."

"So did Natasha get that blue sh-" Then his eyes rolled back and he was out again. I flopped on the on the chair next to the bed. I can't believe it happened, he's been kidnapped and beaten, horribly horribly beaten.

The doctor walked in a short Time later. Informed us of Percy's injuries: a few broken ribs, a sprained arm, head trauma, and a broken leg. I gave a huff.

The doctor sighed " The chance going to have to remain here for a couple days. Just so we can make sure he will be alright".

Natasha trying to lighten the mood give a faint smile quotation mark at least we know he'll be okay"

In that moment Percy started squirming in his bed, it must be a nightmare. His heart rate was picking up on the screen. He even started whimpering, I tried calling out to him but he wouldn't wake up. In that moment he jolted up. His eyes flew around the room looking for some form of danger but soon realized that was a mistake as he coached his ribs in pain.

"Are you OK bud?" I ask quietly. Then realized that it was a dumb question, he was clearly not alright. He nodded anyway, trying to protect me from the truth. He suddenly surged up and gave me a hug letting out a weak whimper as he did, even that movement hurt him. When he pulled back from the hug I looked into his usual bright green eyes then I saw how scared and frightened he was. I pulled him in for another hug. It only took a moment to realize he was crying on my shoulder.

The doctors, my team, and I realized that I had to make him happy again. We had to fix this somehow.
