Hey guys! I really do apologize for the slow update. My computer crashed and I didn't have the chapter saved so I had to start over, but then I went to see How to train your Dragon 2 and then it was super late (it was awesome though)

YoBro: Thank you, and yeah...I had to kill someone

Glossete: Thanks!

Hagan son of Nike: I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

HpPjGg: Someone had to die that was close to Percy

OnlyABookworm: Yes Ma'am/Sir!

Hi: Hello! And yeah, this chapter will be mainly about the pills and stuff

Percy's dreams were black and when he awoke he couldn't remember anything about them. Not that that was a problem mind you. Percy pushed himself up and he swung his legs around to stand. He grabbed the jeans he had worn yesterday and thrown on the floor before heading out the door without even bothering to put on a shirt.

The rooms were still dark and the only light was the golden sunbeams that streamed through the window as the sun rose. Percy put his hands out to keep from bumping into anything that was hidden from sight by shadows. When he reached the kitchen he immediately turned on the lights and blinked the black spots from his eyes.

Percy walked through the kitchen to find the requisite ingredients for cereal and he didn't bother to shut the cupboard doors quietly and instead slammed them hard to create as loud a bang as possible. He wanted the other Avengers to wake up even if he had to go in and drag them from their beds. It wasn't really that early. And his cupboard banging did have some affect. When he had found what he needed after what felt like an hour of searching and was sitting down to start eating his wheat thins Tony and Natasha came in. Natasha looked well groomed and her hair hung about her shoulders. She gracefully and quickly started making some toast.

Tony looked exactly the apposite from her however with his messy hair and sleep tousled clothes that it reminded him of Connor Stoll. Percy chewed on his food thoughtfully and watched as Natasha slid into the seat across from him. The hair on his nape prickled. "Percy..." She said slowly and she folded her hands in front of her as she leaned back in her seat to look at him. "I'd like to talk about what happened yesterday."

Percy's mind whirled. I don't think I broke anything important yesterday... Percy eyed her warily and swallowed his food. He put the spoon back in the bowl so softly that it hardly made a sound.

"Tony would like to apologize for offending you yesterday." Natasha said. Tony spewed his drink over where he had been leaning on the counter in surprise.

"I don't even know what I did!" He exclaimed. "All I did was mention-" A glob of fruitloops flew and splashed him in the face. Tony spluttered and wiped the sticky rings off and looked in Percy's direction. Percy's eyes were narrowed and cold, his shoulders straight and his body stiff.

"No need to apologize." He said slowly and his gaze traveled from Tony to Natasha with an eerie calm. " I think I should apologize, Tony wouldn't have said that if he knew how uh...sensitive I am about that topic." He finished the sentence looking and sounding more like his old self and his shoulders loosened and his body toned down the stiff muscles.

"Natasha opened her mouth to argue. "But-" She started with an iron gaze.

Percy smiled. "It's fine, really." And when she continued to object Percy slammed his fist down. "It's fine!" He yelled as his temper surged and Natasha and Tony both lept back in surprise. "I said it was fine." Percy said in a steely voice. "Now drop the subject." Natasha nodded mutely and averted her gaze when Percy got up to dump his half finished bowl of cereal in the garbage. Tony scrambled out of his way as well as if sensing the anger that still lingered.

Percy used one hand to put his bowl in the sink and with the other he felt in his pocket for the container, if only to be reassured that they were there in case his temper sparked a fuse for something he didn't want.

He couldn't find them.

In panic Percy felt around all his pockets and tried to think around the rising swell of panic that suddenly burst at him. When his hands found nothing he fell to the floor and felt around thought no neon orange stood out to his eyes. His eyes darted around and his breath came in short frantic breaths until strong hands clasped onto his biceps and pulled him up. Around him the Avengers stared at him in worry.

"Percy." Came the voice of the person that held him in the iron grip and Percy looked vainly at Steve for a few minuets before attempting to pull away so he could continue looking. "Percy," Steve said again in a calmer voice. "Percy calm down. It's alright."

"No it's not!" Percy wailed. "I lost them! I lost them and I can't - I can't..." He trailed off in a sob. He needed those pills. They were the only things that kept his flashbacks at bay. They were the barriers between insanity.

Steve loosened his grip a tiny bit on Percy's arms and Percy flinched at the sudden feel of the blood surging towards the veins again as the circulation restarted. "Come on Percy." He said."Lets get you to your room."

Percy numbly fallowed as the Avengers swarmed around him muttering condolences and promises that everything would be all aright though they fell on deaf ears. When the reached Percy's room Steve released his grip and Percy sank to his knee's besides the bed. His head rested on the edge and he stared at the wall though his eyes saw nothing.

Everything was open to him now. The memories, the pain and longing. Percy flinched and the Avengers jumped. But one look at him made them all sit down around him in the quiet room, staring at him and waiting for him to say something.

Eventually Bruce broke the silence. "What did you lose?" He asked softly.

Percy let out a bark of laughter and his shoulders shook. "I lost the pills. I lost them and if I can't find them then I'm going to lose everything else to." He smiled. "Perfect. Just perfect." Clint shook his head sadly at Percy's state of mind. Natasha warily slid towards him and hesitated only a second before putting a hand on Percy's shoulder. At first he stiffened but then relaxed at the comforting touch.

"Why do you need the pills?" Tony asked. Percy shivered again.

"They keep the flashbacks away." He whispered and everyone looked at each other with varying expressions.

"Why? The flashbacks are just memories. They can't harm you." Natasha said in bewilderment. Percy whipped his head around and Natasha recoiled at his gaze.

"Would you want to remember being possessed by a goddess?" He snapped. "Would any of you, want to remember killing your friend!?" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

Percy...

"Stop!" Percy yelled and the Avengers backed up.

"Friend Percy, we said nothing." Thor said slowly but Percy wasn't listening.

Percy, please...

Percy cried out, grabbing his head as he curled into a ball on the floor. His vision blurred. The Avengers cries mixed with those in his head. They shouted his name but the voices drowned them out.

At last little hero...I have you now...

Thoughts anyone? I hope that answered your questions.
