**** Just a short drabble on how Percy would've felt when his city was yet again under attack of the Chitauri ****
Percy:
I was just lounging on the sofa, watching some crappy movie called 'Clash of the Titans'. I mean, seriously? My dear uncle (note the sarcasm here) Hades does NOT have hair like Ralph Fiennes has in this movie. And Zeus definitely doesn't have a beard as long as Liam Neeson's. They've got the entire thing completely twisted! Ugh, mortals.
Suddenly, I see some huge shadow of a creature that kinda looked like a dragon without limbs but a tail ready to rampage the city. I blinked. It this really happening? Who am I kidding! Of course it is!
I got up from the sofa and moved toward my room to the fire escape to see what exactly was happening. Then I saw it. The city looked as bad as it looked during the titan war, except, there were sceaming mortals covering for shelter everywhere.
Not. MY. City. Again.
I decided to use the fire escape to get down and help the mortals, while wondering who the Hades brought this down on us. Whoever it was, I was determined to shove him into the pits of Tartarus.
Finally, I got down. I helped some poor lady who was stuck between her car and another one. It's quite easy when you possess at least quarter the strengh of a powerful god like my dad. Then, I made my way to the place where the centre of the battle seemed to take place. Suddenly, a golden and red armored thing flew past me. Huh? Wait a second. THAT'S IRON MAN! So, he's the one respnsible?
I still kept moving down the street when I saw a huge guy with a hammer to rival the Hephaestus guys' ones. He whirled and twirled and brought down lightning and -
- wait. LIGHTNING? Is this Zeus?
Of course not.
He never looked like that.
But of course, gods can change their appearances.
But since when did he start wielding a hammer? Doesn't he use his master -
- Oh no.
OH GODS NO!
It wasn't Zeus. It was Thor, that Norse god whom I had read about back in that... well, some day.
What is a Norse god doing here?
And something round and big and very American - looking sailed past my head, nearly decapitiating me.
It was Captain America's shield.
Wait. Captain America?
Holy Poseidon. He was standing right in front of me, asking me something
" - all right?"
"Huh?"
"I asked you kid, are you all right?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm all right." I smiled.
"Okay kid, go back home. Now. Go seek shelter - "
"LOOK OUT!"
I stabbed that ugly looking thing right in between the shoulder blades, without thinking.
HE blinked.
"Yeah, you be safe too! Good day!" I yelled and ran away.
Phew.
That was a close call.
It's not my battle, I thought.
It was that guy Thor's.
Time to go back home and finish watching that crappy movie.
