Tyler's POV

That night I had my worst dream in a while. It started with me on the battlefield during the fight against Gaea. I saw Jason, Piper, and Leo fly up and attack Gaea, and I joined Percy and the others to hold off the other monsters. Except these monsters were not what I remember. They looked like demigods, but that was impossible. Then I heard a loud voice boom. At last, little demigod, I am free! FREE!

I instantly shot up in my bed. Sweat trickled down my face. I looked around to get my bearings. I was at Stark Towers, Percy was in the room next to mine. I got out of bed and walked over to the door separating mine and Percy's rooms. As soon as I reached for the handle, it opened and I saw Percy standing in the doorway.

"You too, huh?" he asked.

I nodded.

We both went to relax on the couch and just sat there. Sleeping had become a serious issue for us ever since the war ended.

"What did you dream about?" I asked.

"Tarturus," he said. "You?"

I told him everything about my dream. Including the voice.

"Gaea?" he asked.

"No this sounded male, and Gaea was defeated."

After that he went back to his room to try and sleep, and I did the same.

I woke up later, which was weird since I hadn't had a dream after that.

I walked into the kitchen to see Percy talking to Tony and Steve.

"Hey Tyler, grab a pancake," Tony said.

Tony told us about some things to keep in mind while staying here. One: Natasha and Clint are not morning people. Two: Bruce needs coffee before you talk to him. Three: Thor always gets the poptarts first.

"Thanks for the advice," I say.

"I'm curious about these powers I heard about." he says. "Thor knows a little I think, but I want to hear it from you guys."

"How about we tell everyone after?" Percy suggests.

Tony shrugs.

"'C'mon Tony, give them a break, they just got here," Steve says.

Once everyone walked in and had their breakfast we told them out stories. Percy talked more, but I noticed he skipped over Tarturus. I can't blame him, though.

"Wow you did all that and you're not even twenty," Tony said.

"These warriors are the best!" Thor boomed. "Tales of the great Perseus Jackson are told to children on Asgard! Parents hope their own children become heroes like Perseus!"

"Thanks," Percy says. "Though I had help in all of my adventures."

"Modest too? I love this boy!"

"What kind of powers do you have?" Bruce asks us.

"Um I have control over water and it can heal me," Percy says.

Bruce nods.

"What about you, Tyler?"

"I have power over light every and I'm good at healing and archery," I say nervously.

"You'll get along great with me then!" Clint exclaims.

"Can you give us a demonstration?" Tony asks curiously.

"Um... sure," I say.

I didn't even have to concentrate to do anything. I was very nervous and when I held out my hand little sparks of light energy were forming on the palm.

"That's pretty cool, I guess," Tony says.

That made me a little embarrassed. It sounded like he was disappointed with what I did. Maybe he wanted something more spectacular? I didn't like to use that special talent though.

"What about you Percy?" Bruce ask.

"I'll show you, but we need to go to the pool." he paused. "You do have a pool, right?" he joked.

"Of course I have one," Tony says.

He leads us to the elevator and pushes the button to the floor with a pool. I noticed that instead of numbers he has names for each floor. The floor we were staying on was the Avengers floor.

When we entered the pool room, Percy immediately jumped in. The others noticed that he was just staying at the bottom, without coming up.

After about 30 minutes, Percy surfaced and let out a huge sigh.

"That felt good," he says.

"You were in there for thirty minutes!" Bruce says amazed.

"Did it not feel uncomfortable?" Steve asks.

Percy shrugged. "I've done worse."

"All right, Aqua man, time to show us some powers," Tony says.

Percy proceeded to show them his control over water. The made hands shoot out of the water, he summoned a miniature hurricane, and he even showed them his healing powers.

"That is very useful," Natasha said.

"I can heal people also," I said.

"Well now we have three doctors living here," Tony said.

After that we mostly just relaxed, but then Fury came on with an emergency for me and Percy to deal with.

"We don't know what it is, but we think it might be connected to you two, so I need you to go and see what's up. Clear?" he said.

"Crystal," Percy and I said.

Finally a chance to show them that I am a good fighter, too.

"We should take one of you guys, too," Percy suggested.

"I'll go," Steve said.

"Great. We'll be back shortly."

It took a good amount of time to get to the coordinates Fury sent. When we got there, we saw an abandoned building. A couple of the windows had holes in them. It was three stories, and painted a light gray. It kind of reminded me of a prison building, not that I have ever been to one.

When we walked in, no one greeted us. No noise was heard.

"Split up? That way we cover more ground" Steve said.

"Okay, but if a monster attacks you, Steve, use this," Percy said giving him a Celestial Bronze dagger. "That wont hurt regular people, but it is deadly to monsters."

"All right, try to call for us if a monster attacks, or if there are more than one, that way we can all handle it together," I say.

We split up, but it didn't take long for me to find something. I was on the second floor while Percy took the third and Steve took the main floor.

I was just leaving the second room when I heard a rustling in the room next to mine. Quickly I flipped my coin and it opened into battleaxe mode. Perfect.

As I crept closer, I heard a voice, but it didn't sound like anything I had encountered before. I debated calling for Percy and Steve, then made the decision to handle it myself. I know that it was a bad idea, but if I called for them, the monster might have been alerted.

I turned the knob slowly, and the voices stopped. Two voices, not one. Great. I swung the door open loud enough so that people, namely Percy and Steve, could hear it. When I saw what was inside I couldn't believe what I saw.

The monster was about seven feet, with dragon like legs and snakes for feet. Its upper body was that of a human, but why would it be like that? It bared its fangs at me and the other monster turned around. I recognized this monster. It was an empousa. It had its bronze and donkey legs and its hair was made of fire.

"What do we have here? A demigod? Oh, and a child of Apollo at that!" she said.

Just then Percy and Steve came up behind me.

"Ooooo! More company? Well looks like we'll be eating well tonight!"

"Who are you?" Steve asked.

"I am a empousa, server of Hectate. I will deal with you, mortal after sucking the blood of these demigods!"

"Not happening," Percy said as he lunged for the empousa.

I went for the other thing with Steve. I have to admit, it put up a good fight. Okay, it actually won the fight. My axe didn't kill it. Instead it grabbed the blade and ripped it from my hands and tossed it out the window.

I was stunned. Not only could I not kill it, but it managed to disarm me before I could react. What was this thing?

"Looks like this is the end, godling," I said in a similar voice to the voice in my dream last night.

"W-Who are you?" I managed to say.

"I server a greater master, but you ask who I am? I am one of his servants, a mere puppet, if you will. We were bred to be immune to Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold. You cannot defeat us with those weapons."

"That doesn't answer my question," I say stupidly.

Percy then joins us after hearing that conversation.

"So what do we do?" he asks.

"Alas, you can do nothing. The world will soon fall, and humanity will cease to-"

He was cut off by Steve punching him in the gut so hard he flew out the window.

"He talked to much," Steve said.

When we looked out the window, nothing was there. No body, no monster dust. MY weapon returned to my pocket so it wasn't there.

"What was that?" Percy asked.

"No clue, but it doesn't sound good," I respond.

"We need to tell Fury and the other Avengers about this," Steve said.

We nodded.

"Annabeth and Chiron need to know as well," Percy told me.

"We will Iris Message them when we get back to the Tower," I said.

We were all to nervous to talk on the way back. After my dreams last night and what happened tonight, I was too nervous to do anything but just rest, but I knew we needed to let everyone know what happened quickly. I just wish we knew what happened. Hopefully someone can give us an answer.
