Okay so I am now working on chapter four right now so expect some more updates this week and next week because I am about to go see my cousin graduate and I will be driving for three days to get to it. I will continue writing on the road but I probably wait on posting the updates. I am actually loving the new change and feel like I made the right decision. I actually want to continue writing it which is better than trying to force it. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Percy's POV:
It's been almost a week and Annabeth's second full moon was tonight. I wasn't going to be there and with Shawn it's even more crucial that I am there. He despises me and wants me to step down from being the pack leader. The all white walls and furniture were boring to look at and the air was almost dry making my wolfish side growl in frustration. They were making me sit and wait it out, trying to make me crack under the pressure. Mortals will never understand my kind, we aren't protected by the mist and for generations, werewolves were hunted down like a prize to be won back in the day. Now-a-days we're are just myths, we learned to adapt to their world while other retreated to the woods and choosing to be in a normal sized wolf form. But now the "world's mightiest heroes" know the truth. The only thing that's keeping them from finding out about the gods is me.
My bones ached with the need to run and prowl the forest like the predator I am. The Gods, of course, are being as silent as ever, probably arguing as to what they should do. I swear Zeus is most likely plotting my death while I wait here stuck in a small room with nothing to do. My head shot up when a door opened and the large blond guy walked in, "Hello Percy, I'm Steve Rogers."
"Nice to meet you," I said in a deadpan tone.
He held up a ball and some other trinkets, "I bright some stuff for you to do while you are in here." He opened a small door and put the stuff in my cell.
I scoffed, "I need to leave not have a stupid thing to keep me occupied while you guys discuss what you want to so with me."
"I'm sorry but we can't. We are under strict orders not to release you. I would if I could."
I rolled my eyes and picked up a weird square that had different colors on it, "what is this?"
Steve sat down, "it's a Rubix cube, it's like a puzzle. You are supposed to get each side to have the same color. Like red on one side and green on the other."
I moved it around, "you humans use this for entertainment?"
He laughed, "I guess we do. So, what is your kind like? Do you have things like this for fun?"
I smiled thinking of my pack, Calla, and Cam always rough playing with each other. "No, we play with each other. The two little ones in my pack are siblings and they always run around chasing one another. We are wolves at heart, we play and always fight but we are family."
"You are in a pack?"
I glared, "I'm not only in the pack, I'm the alpha. I need to get back to them, they will be looking for me."
"I'm sorry. But we are trying to move things along to let you out. You can join us."
I rolled my eyes, anger building up inside, "Why would I join you guys when you are keeping me locked up, especially on a full moon."
"What happens on a full moon?"
I growled and slammed my fist on the wall, "Leave." He nodded and slowly made his way out, only looking back once.
Tony's POV:
"Isn't he a salty one?" I said as I leaned back in my chair.
"You aren't helping, Tony."
"I'm only joking cap, we are doing everything we can to get the council to let him out. Meanwhile I have learned a lot from his blood. Did you know the myths of silver are true? We can stop his transformation with it. As long as he is in contact with it he can't turn. I even think it will even the playing field on his strength." I reached for his watch, "And this thing turns into armor. I need to know how this all works and the metal is like nothing I have ever seen."
Clint turned, "armor? What does it look like?"
I stood smiling, "We need a bigger room, follow me to the lab." I pressed the button on the side and the giant armor appeared, for a giant wolf.
"Holy crap. This is amazing!" Natasha ran her fingers along the white metal that was definitely painted and worn down. It was dented in some places and what seems to be puncture holes from teeth. "This has seen some serious battles. Look at how the handiwork is."
I nodded, "I need to find whoever designed this, if this kid is going to join us then he needs to match the part. I could paint this but not yet, we need to see if we can get him to agree to join us." I pressed the small button on the back of the leg and it turned back into a watch.
"He is angry so I think we should wait for him to think about it. He did say something about a full mon though."
"What do you mean?" Wanda walked in. She was curious about our possible new recruit.
"He seemed very agitated, we should look at some of the myths. See if anything matches."
"He's probably afraid. Think about it, I wasn't too thrilled that you guys came. Plus, the council hates me, I'm on lockdown with Vision refusing to let me leave my room."
I sighed, "he's worried about you. Is everyone packed? We leave next week and Happy will finish the rest."
They all nodded and I turned back to the special cuffs that I was working on so we could transport Percy.
TIME SKIP
We rushed to the video feed as Friday warned us that Percy was in pain and his temp was spiking. He was on his knees screaming, "Oh god what do we do?" Natasha asked.
I squinted, "Wait look." We all gasped when it looked like his bones were snapping and changing, he was shifting but not like before. Even his clothes were ripping and that didn't happen when he did it last time. But, tonight was different. This was forced and it looked painful. It took several minutes before a boy was no longer in the room but a wolf who was snarling and scratching at the walls.
"That's why he didn't want to talk about it."
I smiled, "I want him to join us."
"Tony he's dangerous, we still need the council."
"Yeah, but he's like Bruce and we don't have him anymore. We could use someone like him."
Steve leaned forward, "we wait for the council and we will vote in favor of him joining so we wait."
I scoffed, "who made you the boss?"
"No one, but I am speaking for everyone here."
I rolled my eyes and looked back at the computer reading up on the myths. "Has anyone heard of Lycaon?"
TIME SKIP
We entered the containment area hearing Percy calling out, "hello?! Can I please get some clothes and food?!"
"Good morning sunshine!"
Steve rolled his eyes, "what happened to your clothes?"
"You didn't hear me calling out asking for clothes? Humans are insufferable." Clint walked out and came back with clothes, "stay where you are." Percy rolled his eyes. We all looked away quickly when he stood to change. "Humans." I could almost hear his eyes roll. " You all can look now."
"So, Percy does the name Lycaon, ring a bell?"
His eyes shot to me, eyes wide, "where did you hear that name?"
"So, is he your kind's creator?" Natasha said.
Percy coughed a laugh, "I guess you could say, creator." Thunder rolled off in the distance and Percy seemed to go pale.
"What do you mean?" Natasha pressed on.
Percy hesitated before leaning back against the wall, "He's my father."
"Impossible he was born a long time ago."
"Werewolves are immortal, he was the first of my kind."
"How did he become a werewolf?"
He shrugged, "don't know and I really don't care. I hate him and I have cut all ties with him."
"So, how old are you?" I asked.
"I'm eighteen."
"Will you age anymore?"
He smiled, "Nope. Can I leave now?"
"Yes, and no," I said before holding up the cuffs. He sniffed the air and growled.
"Get that silver away from me."
Steve took them, "I'm sorry but we have to move to another location we have. It will only be an hour." My heart felt heavy as he backed away and his jaw clenched. But, it had to be done to meet with the council in three weeks. Our hands were tied and Cap is demanding me that I don't let him out and we follow the rules.
Percy seemed to frown as if he heard something and he slowly held out his arms. Steve clasped the cuffs around his wrists and he hissed. They were magnetic and he hands were pulled together like handcuffs. Steve grabbed his elbow and led him out.
He was curious as we walked through the building, He seemed to take everything in. I grabbed his watch and pen and he eyed them, growling slightly, "don't break them" He stopped by a plant that looked a little wilted, "you're killing it."
"Yeah, Pepper bought it for us saying we needed some plant life in here. We aren't good at keeping the plants alive."
We stepped into the elevator and he jumped when Friday came through the speaker, "What floor are we going to Mr. Stark?"
"Helipad, please."
"Sure thing Mr. Stark."
He looked up, "What was that?"
"Friday, she is the artificial intelligence that I programmed." He only nodded, looking confused.
We were about to step on the plane that was waiting for us and he stopped, "there is no way I'm getting on that."
"Come on kid we need to go." Steve struggled to push him along.
"Nope. Not happening. I refuse to even step on it."
After several attempts, we did the only thing we could, we gave him a sedative to help him relax. When we landed he was not pleased one bit, saying he could have been killed. We led him once again to a room that was Hulk proof but was much larger and I added a few things to help keep him comfortable. Percy, still looped out on the sedative growled, "again? Do you have to lock me up again?" His words kind of slurred.
"Sorry kid. It should be long now, we just have to get a meeting to discuss thing because we are already in trouble with them and we can't afford to do it again." Steve said before removing the cuffs and Percy sighed in relief. His skin was red and hot, almost like a burn.
"It burned you," I said while taking a note to see how to fix that.
"Yeah, that's what silver does." His eyes seemed to droop and he sat on the bed, yawning. When we locked the door, we looked back once more and he was sleeping so soundly, he looked much younger. He had almost a childish look to him as he slept, so carefree. The council needs to get their shit together because I don't know how long he will be willing to join us if we keep him locked up any longer.
Please review I would love to know what you think of the change. I am willing to take any ideas because your wish is my command.
