I don't own the Avengers, X-men, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Evie, or Wynter.
Kas P.O.V.
I woke up in the bottom of Tartuarus….. again. I let out a low groan as I took in my surroundings. It took me a week to get out of here the last time I was here and I had Percy and Annabeth, but now I'm alone. Out of the corner of my eye I could see movement. My head snapped in the direction of the movement as I pulled my dagger and sword out.
"Who goes there?" I commanded.
From the shadows came Steve with a look of absolute fear, "W-where are we?"
I walked up to him and caressed his cheek, "We are in Tartuarus. I've been here before sadly."
This was going to be a long painful journey for us to get out of here, but I'm glad Steve's with me. With him by my side I'm sure I can do anything.
"Kas I know we said wait till the kids were at least a year before we got engaged but I cannot wait," Steve said as he pulled out a Tiffany's box, " Kas will you marry me when we get out of here?"
"Of course baby!" I kissed him on the cheek as he placed the ring on my finger.
I pray that we get out of here alive.
A week later…. I have been abused, raped, mentally and physically tortured. I took all of this to keep Steve from feeling this pain but he was whipped in front of me. I don't know how much longer we can survive this. We have to find the exit and fast.
"Steve we have to get out of here and fast" I whispered.
I don't think I can manage to speak louder than that.
"I think I see the exit" Steve whispered back.
Within an hour we burst through the door and sacrificed a little of my power to close it back up.
"Lord Hades, can we speak with you!?" I yelled into the Underworld.
I could sense him coming and covered Steve's eyes before the blinding light appeared in front of us.
"My dearest niece, what do you speak about?" Hades asked knowingly.
"Can you please send us to Apollo? I do not have the strength to heal these wounds myself."
"Of course my dear girl" Hades said as he placed a kiss in my hair and transported us to Apollo on Olympus.
"Kas! Steve!" Apollo exclaimed when we appeared in front of him.
Before I could say anything Steve and I collapsed onto the floor.
"Shit!" I faintly hear Apollo exclaim as everything goes black for the second time in the past week.
Third P.O.V.
"She used a lot of her power to get them out and she sustained more wounds than Steve, but I think she took all these injuries to keep him from feeling the pain she feels all the time." Apollo said to Aphrodite and Loki.
"Will she ever be the same again?" Aphrodite questioned with fear.
"Aph, you know she's been down there before and she wasn't the same the first time. Her physical wounds will heal but the mental ones may never. She never allows me to erase her memories because she insists that she has to remember everything that happens to her" Apollo said to Aphrodite.
"What about her family? Their team? Did they come home?" Apollo directed his questions towards Loki.
"After she left they showed up on S.H.E.I.L.D.S radar about an hour later. Aeron let them go when he was sure Kas and Steve were secure in Tartuarus. This was his plan; get the two that posed a threat to him the most out of the game for awhile, but I don't think either of them will sit on the sidelines for more than two days" Loki says.
"Loki, Apollo has healed me enough that I will fight whatever Aeron throws at us" Steve says from the doorway.
"Captain, are you sure?" Apollo questions.
"I've slept for seventy years, sir, I think I can handle a few lashings" Steve says with finality.
Kas began whimper and tossing in her sleep. The more the nightmare went on the more her powers grew out of control. Ice covered the floor and walls near her and fire elicited from her hair. After five minutes she let out a scream, the same scream from when she was being tortured. Steve sprung into action knowing full well what she was remembering in her sleep. He sang to her and rocked her back and forth and kissed her temple. With a start Kas finally woke up with tears beginning to run down her now pale face.
"Shh… Shh… baby it was just a dream. You're safe now. I'm here, we're here." Steve whispered.
Kas began to settle down as Steve's arms wrapped around her and she stared at the ruby on her ring finger. They had been in Tartuarus for a week and she wasn't able to protect them and she wasn't able to find and rescue her family and team.
"Oh my gosh! I have to find my family and the team!" Kas exclaimed trying to scramble out of her bed, but Steve held her to him.
"They're safe, daughter. We've been working to find you two" Loki said to his daughter.
Kas visibly relaxed in Steve's arms as she nodded and then yawned, "Father, Mother, can you bring my children to me. We've away from them for a week and I don't think step-dad Steve and I can be away from them for any longer" Kas said and the others finally noticed the semi-large ruby on her ring finger.
They congratulated the couple and Loki and Aphrodite complied. An hour or so later not only were Adrien, Alexander, and Adara brought to them along with their whole team plus T.J. and Marshal.
