Chapter 9 I Don't own anything
"Let me get this straight." Tony said for the umpteenth time. "You kissed, and through magical Greek life mate stuff caused you to be married?"
"Yes, Tony, we've said this multiple times now. And we aren't even married, it's just an honorary thing." I said, sighing as I said it again.
The reactions to this news were definitely interesting, Clint had been mad at first, but then came to his senses and said,"If there has to be someone with Nat, the best person would be you." So he was okay with it. Thor and Loki were also okay since they had a similar thing in Asgard, Bruce and Steve were unsettled at first, but then realized if they were happy, it was fine. Oh but the most interesting one was Tony, who seemed just not able to understand it. As if the whole ordeal had been inhuman. And it kinda was.
"Tony! Just go and figure out the portal thing and do science with Bruce and Loki." Natasha snapped. Yeah, and the thing about Loki, since he had held the Scepter before, he could help Tony and Bruce in some way or another. The rest of us were as confused as anyone else would be.
Tony scrambled off to his lab with Loki and Bruce walking leisurely behind him. That left Natasha and I with the rest of the team doing their own things.
"Hey Nat, it's fine if you want to back out or anything if you're feeling rushed into this, if you don't want to do this." She cut me off with a kiss.
"Percy, we've been over this before. I actually liked you before the whole life mate thing happened, it may have been less than love, but the magic amplified it into something more. So let me say it right here, right now. I, Natasha Romanoff, love Percy jackson." She said with such passion that it was hard not to kiss her right then and there.
"And I, Percy Jackson, love Natasha Romanoff." We met with a kiss. FLASH
"And that's one for the scrap books." I heard a voice that just screamed ass hole to me say.
"TONY!"
After hunting down and hurting Stark, Nat came back and sat happily on next to me.
"Should I be scared?" I asked sarcastically.
"No, buy Tony will be. And probably traumatized." She replied, smirking. All of a sudden there was a loud alarm blaring through the tower, and this time I knew what was happening. I summoned my sword and ran to the elevator and for the cars.
I've fought my fair share of battles, and I swear every single time they get more and more unfair. A month ago I would've cried at the thought of facing a drakon alone. And now, with the Avengers on my side, I would still cry at the thought of battling a drakon. A huge snake like creature was slithering down the street, spitting poison and clawing at cars on it's way through.
"What the hell is that?" Tony asked, mouth open in shock.
"That my friend, is a poison spitting drakon." I replied.
"Call in the Hulk, Bruce. We're gonna need him." Steve said over the COMM.
RRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR! A huge roar shook the ground and a green monstrosity flew out of the Avengers tower, over several buildings, and next to Tony.
"Hi big guy, umm, just do your thing, you know, smash." Tony said nervously. The Hulk grinned and launched into the air, smashing the head of the drakon into the ground before it had time to react. While it was dazed we launched into action, Tony zapping the beast with his laser repulsors, Clint firing exploding arrows into the drakon's open mouth when it roared in pain. Loki used his magic to keep the gigantic monster from moving, Thor calling down bolts of lightning to zap it into submission, and Steve, Natasha, and I ran forward and hit it over and over again. Hulk kept smashing on the thing's back, but his fists kept bouncing off.
The drakon managed to break free of the spell for a split second and spit venom everywhere, some of it hitting Loki, freeing it completely of the spell. It raged around with the Hulk hanging on like a cowboy on a bull. Clint fired a explosive arrow at the beasts eyes, blinding it and making it even more angry. It fell to the ground, flinging the Hulk off and into a building, effectively knocking him out. The beast flopped around swinging its tail randomly, its tail was about to hit me, I saw it coming in slow motion, it wouldn't have killed me, just knocked me over. Plus I'm a demigod, I heal fast.
But suddenly I'm being shoved sideways, as I fly away from the tail I turn to see who shoved me. Red hair flapping in the wind, emerald green eyes filled with despair for me. No...NO! It happened too fast for me to react, Natasha got hit by the tail, flying ten yards away. Only by luck did Tony manage to catch her. I hit the ground.
It all hit me at once, Natasha being hit and going limp in midair. I got angry, no, I was FURIOUS. How dare that beast ever hurt Nat, I'll kill it. It will suffer. I stood up, over the course of three wars my powers had grown strong, stronger than anyone had ever heard of. It got to the point where if I used my powers, it would burn me up slowly. But I didn't care, this thing had hurt my Natasha. IT WILL DIE.
My power bled out of me like someone squeezing a sponge, it was growing into a gigantic ball of pure energy, little did I know I was accessing my life mate power which is basically a power boost for when your mate is in trouble. The ball grew and grew until it could barely fit down the drakon's mouth. I didn't care, I forced it down it's throat. It was like a bomb, and like all bombs, it exploded. Luckily the scales of the drakon contained the blast, else the whole block would be leveled. It evaporated into nothing.
I got really tired really quickly, I fell to the ground. Luckily Thor caught me and whispered to me,"You did well, you avenged your mate. Now sleep."
And all I saw was black.
I woke up in an exact replica of the room I had woken up in when I got shot in the stomach. Steve was sitting next to my bed reading a book, and the other people in the group were scattered around the room doing their own things.
"Hey." I said weakly, I felt exhausted.
"Oh hey, you're awake. How do you feel?" Bruce said, but he said it in a way that it sounded like he was hiding something. He never was a good liar.
"I feel fine," I actually didn't, but I wanted to get out of here asap. "Where's Nat?" They all froze at my question.
"You don't remember?" Steve asked.
"No, I remember a drakon...Oh God, is she okay?!" I asked, crazy for answers about Natasha.
"She's okay, great actually. But...umm...she's in...She's in a coma, Percy. The hit on the head made her knocked out and she fell into a coma yesterday." Loki said, delivering the bad news.
No. nonononono. No, not Nat. She's my life now, I need her. She is the one who pulled my jacked up life together during that first night of nightmares. She might not be dead, but I won't hear her until she wakes up. And who knows how long that will be.
"Percy, you need rest. Why don't you just go back to sleep. If you wake up and feel better you can get out of here and go see Tasha, ok Percy?" I nodded at Clint, who looked as messed up as I probably was at the moment.
I just wanted to hear her voice.
I woke up again and felt better, so I called for a nurse and went through the torture check up, before I left. Tony was out in the hall, waiting for me to come out. He just nodded at me and started walking. I followed him to Natasha. When I saw her, I asked for a moment alone so I could say some words. The nurses and Tony obliged and left.
"H...Hey Nat, so y...you're I...in a c..co...coma now an...n..d...and I just want you to k...kno...know how s...ss...sorry I am that I g...gg...got you hurt." I barely managed to get out the sentence before I started sobbing. 'It's all my fault, if I had moved in time she would be safe.' I thought miserably. I continued with my message to her, this time not stuttering.
"I'm not sure if you can hear me, but if you can, just know I love you. I, Perseus Jackson, will love you until the ends of my days. And if you were to love me back, I would always love me more. If you never wake up from this coma, I...I want you to know how much I love you. I love you more than words can express, Natasha Romanoff. I love you."
I just sat there for as long as I could until the nurses told me to leave because they needed to run some tests. I left miserably, I saw Tony waiting out in the hall for me again. He just gently guided me out of the SHIELD hospital into his sports car. I was silent the whole ride home.
When we got to the tower it was quite late and I wasn't in the mood for TV or food, so I went straight to bed and cried quietly until I fell asleep.
I was in a big gray field, there was fog low to the ground so I could only see a few feet in front of me. I heard a scream, "PERCY!" It was Nat! I had to save her. I ran towards the sound and I saw a silhouette of a person standing at the bottom of a hill. "PERCY!" She screamed again, I ran forward and as soon as I saw who the person was I stopped in my tracks. It was Natasha, but she was burned, cut, and bleeding all over her body.
"PERCY! Make it stop! Please!" I tried to run forward, but there was a shield surrounding her so I couldn't reach her.
"PERCY, Help! Help me, come heal me! Please..." Her voice was getting quieter, she was fading.
"NOO! Natasha! Don't die! Please." I screamed and yelled, but she couldn't hear me.
"It's all your fault, Percy. All your fault..." Silence. She had died and it was my fault, I was the one to blame for everything. My fault. All mine. 'Your fault' Her ghost haunted me. 'It's all your fault.'
I jerked up in bed expecting Nat to be there, comforting me. She wasn't, only a cold breeze from an open window. That's exactly what the world was. Dark. Cold. Unforgiving. Always ready to strike out at you in a moment of weakness.
But the darkness is peaceful. There are many things that happen in the dark. Mistakes. Ideas. Plans to change the world. This is what happened to me, thinking in the dark. An idea, or maybe it was a mistake. But it definitely was a plan to change the world.
