"This is my cousin's son Percy, he's my new ward." Bruce said giving Tony a meaningful look that he hoped his friend understood. Praying that he wouldn't ask why in front of Percy. Luckily his prayer was answered and Tony didn't ask. Instead he turned towards Percy with a glint in his eye, one that Bruce had seen many times, one that promised he was about to say (or do) something stupid. Knowing it was too late to stop him from experience, he just hoped that it wouldn't be something insensitive.

Tony turned towards the newcomer with an even wider smile that what he first had on and opened his mouth to greet Percy, he thought Bruce said. "Hi welcome to my tower, how would you like a selfie with Iron Man to show your friends?" Because who wouldn't want a photo with Iron Man, the greatest superhero, if he did say so himself.

"Who?" The kid said blankly staring at him confused. Tony couldn't help but laugh at the joke, Bruce had more than likely put him up to it. Probably something to try and control his ego or something else as ridiculous. He looked at Percy expecting him to admit defeat as he'd obviously been caught out, however, he continued to stare at him.

"Wait you really don't know who I am?" Tony said quite upset, because come on who didn't know who Iron Man is? He turned to look at Bruce to gage whether the kid was pulling his leg. But just from glancing at Bruce's frown, he knew the kid wasn't joking. He really didn't know who he was.

Tony decided not to push it any further much to both Percy and Bruce's relief. However, for different reasons that expected in one case. Although Percy didn't want them to ask him too much about where he had been. He was much more concerned with the fact that they could throw him out, mainly because Bruce was the only person he had left. His mom had died, Paul had died and now he had no where to go other than here and he wasn't going to do anything to ruin it. He couldn't, in fact he wouldn't lose anyone else.

There was a heavy atmosphere that everyone could feel, one that caused discomfort for all of those present. Percy held back from shifting from foot to foot in order to not attract any more attention to himself. Therefore it came as a relief to Percy when Bruce decided to break the silence. Though for what, Percy didn't know.

"Hey Tony" Bruce asked suddenly making the man in question turn and look at him, away from the wall he'd been staring at. "I'm going to show Percy to his room, okay?" He said hoping that Tony would still be okay with Percy staying here, despite the fact he didn't know who he was. Not because he thought that Tony was that mean, but he was that childish especially with a bruised ego.

Percy trudged along after Bruce confused about the tension he'd caused with the other man. Tony was it ? Percy couldn't remember for sure. He was obviously someone famous with the way he was confused about Percy's recognition. Maybe he was an actor or someone? The only recent actor Percy really new was Tristan McClean and that was only through Piper.

Piper. The thought of the girl who was like a sister to him stopped him in his tracks. He didn't even hear Bruce calling his name. It was like a wave of despair came over him clouding all of his senses, no his mind. The only thought being of Piper. The girl who went against all expectations and rose the bar higher for everyone with her beauty and fighting skills. More importantly it was the look of anger on her face when he saw her last.

It was a touch on his arm that brought him back to reality only this time he didn't jump away from Bruce. He finally cleared his mind enough so he could listen to Bruce asking him how he was and nod his head in response. A lie that Bruce didn't comment on despite it's obviousness.

"This is yours" Bruce said gesturing to the door straight ahead of him. He hoped that Percy would soon feel comfortable enough to share what he was feeling as he could tell that he was bottling it up and he should know. He joked to himself, rather poorly he admitted with a sigh and shake of his head.

"Thanks," Percy muttered. His first world since they left the previous room. If he was honest he didn't really know what to say. Here was a man who was his only mortal family left and yet he was a stranger to him. It left a bitter taste in his mouth thinking about what could have been or rather should have been if he was stronger.

Turning away from Bruce he opened the door and stepped in side. He hadn't even closed the door before Bruce had walked back down the corridor. Presumedly to the elevator to who knows where, in all honesty he didn't want to know, he didn't care. All he cared about was training to become stronger, to be better, to actually be the hero his mom thought he was. However, that wasn't possible here, he couldn't just randomly start hacking at dummies with a baseball bat or whatever the mortals saw.

Finally glancing up, he took in the room he was going to be staying in for the foreseeable future. It was a deep blue colour with wooden furniture that was painted white. It wasn't anywhere near as impressive as his dads castle however, it was nicer than his room at home. Wait no- his old room. Although he couldn't wait to try out his new bed which looked like a kind size at least. It left him wondering how rich Tony was, if he could furnish a spare room this well?

He turned and saw a door on the wall adjacent to the one he entered from and walked closer. It was painted the same colour as the furniture and was shut. He already had a wardrobe so it couldn't be a closest, Percy thought with confusion. Although he had to step back to let the door by, once he had turned the handle, he didn't let it stop him from quickly entering the room. He stopped short when he saw what it was. A bathroom! But not your average bathroom. It was painted a light blue with darker blue accents (the towels and the mat that laid on the floor). And the bath. If you could even call it a bath, more like a small pool. It was massive. Percy had never seen one so big, not even at camp!

He finally drew away from the bathroom, back into the bedroom and laid on the bed, allowing his thoughts to wander to today's events. So much had happened he didn't think he could ever come to terms with it. Before he could think much more he felt his eyes drop and he soon fell into the realm of Morpheus.
