After about an hour, the D.C. skyline came into view. Percy searched the ground below him for the hospital and once he found it, Percy had Blackjack land on the roof.
"I'll call you when I need to get back." He promised. The horse whinnied and flew off. Percy peeked over the edge and searched for Natasha's red hair. He smiled and slowly climbed off the roof, from window to window, until he reached the ground.
"Natahsa!" He called over. The spy smirked as she heard the familiar voice.
"Percy. I was starting to wonder if you'd ever showed up." She said, ruffling his already messy hair. He swatted at her hand.
"Can I see Steve?" He asked quietly. Natasha's face suddenly became expressionless.
"Yeah. Come on I'll show you his room." The demigod followed Natasha into the hospital. He kept his head down and stared ahead of him. When they reached Steve's room he could already see Tony, Bruce, Clint, and some guy sitting next to his bed who Percy had absolutely no idea who he was. Natahsa held a hand towards the door, a small smirk on her face. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door. All motion and sound stopped as the door creaked open. Clint grinned and winked at him, Bruce smiled and waved, to which Percy returned with his lopsided grin, and Tony walked over and ruffled his hair affectionately.
"Hey Perce. How's the heroes life?" He asked. Percy glanced around and smiled.
"Great. Well mostly." The guy Percy had seen earlier stood up and walked over to Natasha.
"Who is this kid? And why is he here?" His voice tired and harsh.
"Sam this is Percy. Percy this is Sam." Percy stuck his hand out and Sam shook it.
"As for why I am here, Steve is kinda like my uncle? I don't know but we're close. And someone didn't tell me as soon as she could." Percy said, glaring lightly at Natasha. He walked over to Steve's bed and looked at him.
"Geez this is worse than I've ever seen him. Was something besides the exploding Quinjet's there?" Natasha and Sam glanced at Steve then back at Percy.
"When he wakes up, he can tell you." Percy shrugged.
"Okay. But when was the last time you guys ate?" He asked the entire room. Everyone stopped to think then shrugged sheepishly. He rolled his eyes. "Go get something. I can stay with Steve." The air filled with protests until Percy glared at everyone.
"What do the Avengers not trust me?" He asked, a challenging look in his eyes. Most of them shook their heads and mumbled apologies while Natasha and Clint pat him on the back.
"We've taught you well." Clint smiled. Percy smiled and sat int the vacant chair next to the bed.
"Just go." He said, his tone leaving no room for argument. Everyone filed out, Bruce standing at the back.
"Nice to see you." He said, smiling softly. Percy nodded at him. He closed his eyes and her the door shut.
"Okay I'm just gonna take a little nap." He muttered to himself, falling asleep.
