First of all, holy shit Shield and the Seven has become so popular.
Unfortunately, I reread it, and now realize the writing is absolutely horrible. Oops?
Now, since people seemed to like it, I'm rewriting it. The plot will be pretty much the same, however, the writing will not seem like a fourth-grader's
Cheers!
(Updating first chapter sometime in June this is just the prologue to keep you guys interested haha)
LINE BREAK
Percy stared up at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Nightmares plagued his sleep, and all Percy could see when he closed his eyes was blood.
Blood everywhere.
Percy heard Piper's screams, his own, Jason's, Leo's.
Annabeth's.
He saw monsters taking over, he saw his mother killed in front of him.
He saw Paul defending a group of innocent children, getting himself killed in the process.
Children.
The innocent, the mortals. Gaea killed them all.
The demigods were taken prisoner, forced to fight each other to the death for the amusement of the cruel, sickening monsters.
Percy just couldn't deal with that. He couldn't sleep.
Thank the gods it wasn't real.
It wasn't real…right?
Suddenly unable to breathe, Percy shot out of bed, sprinting out of his cabin.
Everything was okay.
Everything was fine.
Gaea is gone.
We are safe.
No more wars.
Percy let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding and trudged back to his cabin.
He collapsed on his bed, giving in.
He let himself be enveloped by the darkness, welcoming it for once.
Percy was in space.
Wait, space?
That couldn't be right.
But it was. Percy's surroundings were dark, with stars twinkling in the distance.
Percy saw a huge shadow.
He followed it, leading him to a blue giant.
Thanos, a voice whispered to him.
The blue man seemed distracted.
Percy shivered as he heard the rough, cold voice coming from the creature before him.
"Hello, Perseus Jackson."
"Percy?"
"No. NO!"
"PERCY! WAKE UP!"
The familiar voice of Annabeth rang through Percy's brain, pulling him from the reigns of unconsciousness and into her arms.
Percy collapsed onto Annabeth, breathing heavily.
"A-Are you alright, Percy?"
Percy shook his head. He lifted his head just enough to be able to see Annabeth.
"Never."
Percy took in Annabeth's features. She seemed more tired, more worn. The bags under her eyes showed that she was just as sleepless as Percy, maybe even more.
Annabeth sighed and kissed Percy's cheek.
"Come on. Let's go, Chiron has a quest for us."
Annabeth took his hand, leading the still terrified Percy to the big house.
Chiron greeted them at the door, smiling a sad smile that seemed to come a lot more often.
They sat down at a table, Percy struggling to sit as Annabeth watched Chiron expectantly.
"We found Leo." Chiron said quietly, seeming as if he was expecting a huge reaction.
There was none.
Percy and Annabeth stared at Chiron, unable to comprehend his words.
He found Leo?
"You found Leo?"
Chiron hesitated, Percy and Annabeth noticing.
Percy's eyes narrowed.
"Did you find Leo or not?"
Chiron paused before speaking slowly and softly, as if Percy and Annabeth were children that would throw a tantrum.
"No-"
Percy stood up, eyes blazing. He spoke in a deathly calm voice that he never knew he could achieve.
"Then why did you call us here."
Chiron didn't even flinch.
"We found him, but we didn't."
Percy's eyes were the ocean, tossing, turning, wild.
"He contacted us through Iris message, but was captured. By mortals."
Annabeth's eyes nearly bulged out of her head as she gently tugged on Percy's sleeve to tell him to sit down.
"W-Which mortals, Chiron?"
Annabeth had a sneaking suspicion she knew who it had been.
Chiron somehow looked both Annabeth and Percy dead in the eye.
"The Avengers."
