Prisoner of Ice and Stone

Chapter 2

Peter's POV:

There was a long moment of awkward silence, before the avengers replied. Natashia was the first to speak.

"I don't know anything about him, but I'm heading over now. Maybe SHEILD has a file on the kid. My ETA is twenty minutes."

"I'll be there in 15." (Cap)  

"I can't come, but keep this line open I'll watch from here." (Bruce)

"I"m with the kids right now, but call if anything major happens." (Clint)

"I will be at your tower as soon as I can Stark." (Thor)

Moments later something landed with a thud on the roof and Thor crashed through the ceiling. Mr. Stark gave him a look that spoke bloody murder, but turned back to the others and shutting of communications except for Bruce. We headed back downstairs to the lab and Thor followed. The moment we entered the hospital room Thor glowed strangely and his hair stood up. Mr. Stark glared at him and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Would you stop it with all the sparks lighting boy, you've already destroyed enough for one day don't you think."

Thor strangely didn't respond he shuddered slightly and his eyes flashed with lighting before he finally calmed down. He stared at the boy on the bed and spoke his tone dead serious.

"I was wrong Stark, I do know who this is or at least what he is."

Mr. Stark grew serious as well.

"Why do I get the feeling that's not a good thing?"

Thor shook his head.

"He's not necessarily evil, just very, very dangerous."

Stark glared at him impatiently, and I spoke up.

"Um Mr. Thor, sir what exactly is he?"

Thor glanced at me.

"The spiderling gets right to the point doesn't he."

I bristled slightly, but Thor just sighed and glanced at the boy again before continuing.

"This boy is a demigod. It's hard to tell for certain who's child he is, but his presence feels Greek. Based on his water powers I would hazard a guess that he is perhaps the son of Achelous, Aegaeon, or possibly even Poseidon based on what you said about his water powers earlier. His scent is exceptionally strong even for a demigod, so we should prepare for an attack any moment now. The moment you pulled him from the ice it was like sending up a signal flare for all the monsters within a sixty mile radius."

"Monsters?"

I squeaked. Feeling suddenly very ill. Tony looked furious.

"What the hell are you talking about Thor!"

As if to accent his words Black Widow suddenly came over the com system.

"Tony you have some very angry, and very large men down here trying to get past the defense systems. Care to explain whats going on?"

Thor swore and spoke toward the ceiling trying to find the speaker.

"Those aren't men Natalie, they probably won't harm mortals, but don't engage. They aren't what they seem."

There as a confused silence for a moment before Natalie responded.

"Whats that supposed to mean."

Thor groaned and rubbed a hand over his face before storming down the stairs. Tony and I followed. Tony called his suit as he did so, and by the time we had reached the lobby on the bottom floor all of us were prepared for combat. Several large men with tank tops and bulging muscles were attempting to fight off Mr. Starks state of the art security system, and they were doing a surprisingly good job of it to. One of them sent a flaming steel ball toward a handful of drones and it hit dead on exploding on impact and breaking the drones into a thousand tiny burning pieces. At that moment though one of them noticed Thor, and he snarled angrily.

"Gods aren't to interfere with mortals, leave us be we come for demigod flesh. Percy Jackson has evaded us for far to long! He and his friends will regret sending us to Tartarus! We will feast on Demigod flesh tonight!"

Thor growled angrily and stepped forward lighting sparking between his fingers.

"You shall not touch the boy! And do not dare tell me what to do foul beast of hell, I am not one of your greek gods! Now die foul scum!"

He blasted the man in the chest and the man stumbled back howling angrily before...disintegrating? The others howled in anger, and charged Thor screaming something about avenging the man who had fallen. It might have been imagination, but as they charged I could have sworn they grew even larger, and they seemed inhuman some how. Monstrous. Tony stepped forward to blast them and I prepared to shoot taser webs, but Thor held up a hand stopping both of us.

"Do not interfere. This is my business. I have already bent the rules enough, if you were to get involved it would only make matters worse. "

Moments later all the men had been disintegrated in the same strange way and Natasha had joined us inside. Together we followed Thor up to the bed where the boy had been sleeping. He wasn't asleep anymore and he was fighting the bonds that held him to the bed. His eyes were wide open and they looked like a sea storm brewing. He saw us and immediately stopped struggling. 

"Where am I? How long have I been out? Who are you people? What do you want from me?"

Thor sat beside the bed and undid the clamps around the boys wrists and legs before we could stop him. Surprisingly once the boy saw him he calmed slightly and didn't seem inclined to escape soon. Thor spoke his voice steady and calm.

"Well to answer your questions young demigod, you are in the Stark tower, we do not know how long you have been out. We are the avengers. And at the moment all we want is to help you and ask you some questions. "

The boy, Percy if the guys downstairs knew what they were talking about, blinked and tensed slightly his hand going to his pocket.

"Questions? Also which god are you? "

Tony looked surprised and opened his mouth, but Thor beat him to it.

"So you know I'm a god then?"

Percy nodded his eyes narrowed.

"Yea I've met a few if you recall. Gaea? Doors of Death? The Titans? Any of this ring a bell?"

Thor shook his head.

"Fraid not, I don't keep up on the greek and romans. I'm a norse god. The god of lighting. Thor."

Percy looked, for lack of a better word, pissed.

"Oh great, are you anything like Zeus? Cause if you are I want out a here Sparky."

The sky above us rumbled, and Tony glanced at Thor.

"Really all it takes is a little name calling and you get all grouchy?"

Thor shook his head, and Percy seemed to notice us for the first time.

"Nah that was Zeus, not the greatest uncle when it comes to taking a joke."

The sky rumbled again and Percy glared up at the ceiling.

"Alright I get it, but since I have once again been knocked unconscious for a long period of time, I think I deserve a bit of a break! Also Hera I swear if your the one who did this I will come up there and-"

Thor cut him off.

"You should probably calm down kid."

Percy glared at him.

"Fine, but Annabeth's going to kil-"

He broke off his eyes going wide.

"Annabeth!"

He jumped out of the bed his hand going to his pocket and pull out a pen. A pen that very suddenly transformed into a sword.
