A Stark party how many can claim to have been to one of those, and how many of them were underage children. Well that didn't matter because all of the avengers insisted that Percy and Zephyra join them at such a party. Percy had given up an hour ago on trying to get his hardheaded cousin to dress up for the party. He on the other hand had on borrowed dress clothes. Not one hundred percent sure who's clothes they actually were but they fit nicely. Zephyra was in the sweats and t-shirt Steve had given her looking comfortable, ready to just relax rather than to party. Her reasoning was she was already going to be out of her comfort zone, why put her in clothes that she was miserable in as well. Clint popped his head into the room to get the newest members to join the party. Where as the boy was dressed up and looked mostly formal the only thing that change about the girl is her hair was now down. Clint internally laughed this is why Stark became quick friends with the kid they both do what they want. This child was going to be a handful, and if it was true that she could take down Steve with ease then things would be interesting while she was around.
Once down at the party they were introduced to new people including Sam Wilson who instantly became a good friend of Percy's along with Rohedy. Zephyra stayed close to the people that she already knew not liking being around so many new people. Nat came up behind her "Pick your poison," she stated referring to the adult drinks that the rest had been making sure the minors didn't get their hands on all night.
"Hmm I don't know but not beer that stuff smells horrible, though Percy may enjoy one."
The older redhead returned handing Zephyra a red cup of an amber colored liquid that looked like the scotch that Thor had been drinking. Taking a drink she found that yes it was scotch and it burned but the taste itself wasn't bad. She mouthed a thank you to Natasha and walked over to Percy who had his own red cup.
The pair walked out to the balcony to get some air. A figure stepped out of the shadows intently eyeing Percy before speaking "You know I once had a daughter who I left in the human realm to be safe from my father. You look an awful lot like my daughter did. Tell me who are your parents."
"I am Percy Jackson son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson; your daughter Loki. That's all the information you wanted right to confirm that you have a grandchild. A living grandchild," Percy told the figure. The figure nodded then turned to Me.
"And you are."
"Zephyra amazon princess." He looked thoughtful then said
"My brother once fell in love with an amazon ruler. but men are not permitted to be in the tribe and are only allowed to stay when it is baby making time." With that he was gone. Zephyra knew it wasn't going to be long until he figured out that the one Thor had fallen in love with was her mother. She rushed back inside and up to where Clint and the other avengers had gone away from the party. Sitting by Natasha she continued to sip her drink which was now half gone. She watched as one after another the guys tried to lift the hammer off the table each failing. Though Steve did move it the tinniest bit. Percy walked up seeing his cousin laughing at the men's failure.
"Zep, you know you want to try. Why don't you show these men how its done," Percy told his cousin.
"I rule Asgard once I lift it right," she asked pointedly at Thor who laughed at the thought but nodded none the less. Zephyra Walked up to the hammer confidently and grabbed the handle. She fake strained for a minute. Then with a smirk she lifted it up as if it weighted nothing wearing a victorious grin. Thor's eyes bugged out at the sight. Clint and Tony both wore a face of anger and disbelief. Natasha was on the floor laughing at the men. "So where's my throne now that I rule Asgard," Zephyra said with a cocky tone. Finally done laughing Natasha actually looked at the girl to notice she looked very much like a female Thor welding the hammer.
"Well done my child..." was all Thor got out of his mouth before lighting from his own hammer hit him in the chest knocking him to the ground. Zephyra dropped the hammer and bolted from the room before processing what she had just done. Going to her new room to be as far from the rest as she could. Once there she locked the door and completely mentally shut down. She had just attacked her own father with his own weapon for calling her my child. Which she is but he doesn't know that and that fact hurt bad.
"Don't follow her," Percy said not looking up from his cup to see which avenger had gotten up to follow his cousin. He knew it had to be Natasha or Steve. The others were still processing that she was able to use the power of the hammer where they couldn't even lift it.
"What was that about," Natasha asked very concerned.
"The 'my child' comment. Anything to do with anything family related is very touchy for her. She never knew either parent and was dropped off at camp half-blood right after birth. And to top that off her father has no clue she exists nor is he allowed to. So as I said don't follow her she needs to be alone. She'll rejoin when she is good and ready but if you push her...,"he trailed off half laughing.
"What she will grow in size and turn into a green rage monster destroying everything in her path," Stark teased.
"Rage monster yes and will attack everyone and thing in her way yes, but she stays the same size and color. Like her name she is a force of nature"
A high pitched awful screech got everyone's attention. Followed by some robot telling the avengers of course they aren't worthy they were all killers. Percy was only half listening before the fight broke out and only caught that the thing was called Ultron, Stark created him and he wanted peace in our time. Natasha pushed him to the floor where he stayed waiting for a chance to pounce. Seeing an opening Percy activated his sword and stabbed one of the strange bots. Zephyra reappeared on the balcony leaping on to a bot savagely tearing it limb from limb until it crashed to the ground. Steve used his shield that Clint had just passed to him to cut a bot in half. The lead bot spoke again saying that the only way to make the world safe is for the avengers extinction. Thor shut him up by throwing his hammer and smashing him effectively shutting down all of his minions as well.
Zephyra had no idea what was going on she heard people talking but they seemed so far away, and she was aware of someone holding her up. She was of unsure who it was but their shoulder made a very comfy pillow. Never had the beast within her taken over to the extent that it just had and she was feeling the after effects now in a big way. On top of that she still had an electric tingle through out her whole body. The last thing she could remember was sending a bolt of lighting at Thor. but as wiped out as she was; being barely conscious she knew that she had to of done quite a deal of other damage.
Percy was concerned seeing the state that his cousin was in after the fight. The fact that she was allowing Steve to hold her up just added to his worry. Percy himself wasn't in tip top shape. The arm that had been bitten by the hydra seemed overly warm in all the gauze it still donned. Absent-mindedly he took off the sling and began to unwrap his arm. Not at all listening to the avengers arguing amongst themselves. After freeing the arm of the gauze he saw it was healed but from mid bicep to mid forearm there was strange blue bruises that didn't appear to match the injury what so ever. Suddenly Percy heard Steve yelling Zephyra's name, broken out of his trance he saw that she had lost her battle with conciseness. Bruce and Steve rushed her to the hospital wing and Percy followed as did Stark. Everyone else went their own ways. Bruce was checking all of her vitals which seemed normal but not at the same time. What really threw him through a loop was when he checked to make sure none of the stitches were torn he found nothing but pink scars. Percy laughed at his shocked face "She's half god she has super fast healing." Pepper who had came in not long after the battle entered the room and walked over to Stark.
"I thought you said that the fight was contained to one room." A confused Stark answered
"It was."
"then why does it look like a tornado went from Steve's floor all the way to the room the fight was in?"
"Well that explains it, no wonder she's out cold. Using that much emotion fueled power can really drain a person. I'm not cleaning that mess up either stuffs probably still wired and that's a mistake you only make once trust me," Percy said. Bruce froze a for second at that comment then gave a look of understanding
"This isn't the first time?" Percy shook his head
" Far from it but I have never seen it to this point but I've also never seen her use lightning either. She calls that side of herself the beast and she won't remember a thing about this. The first time I saw it was the day I met her when she was ten." Tony was the next to speak
" No doubt that blast she sent at Thor added in the rage fueled destruction. No worries I'll have someone else clean up the mess." Steve just looked down at the girl stoking her hair as if to soothe her.
