I have great plans for Loki….not in this chapter though, sequel maybe…it this chapteris reported, because sorry I posted it in a hurry because I went to see the new Spiderman (love it), so here it is again

Percy supposed there was an up side to being a part of the Avengers. His previously burnt and ruined apartment was already being repaired and would be finished well before his mother and Paul returned.

At least now that he had made friends with Thor the others were friendlier to him. Now at breakfast they actually involving him in the conversations. It was three days after Percy's apartment was ruined and the Son of Poseidon had heard nothing from Nico, and in return, nothing about Bianca. Percy was beginning to worry, but he didn't want to mother hen his cousin.

"Can you teach me to use a sword?" Tony asked Percy suddenly.

"Is this going to be like the time Clint tried to teach you archery?" Bruce questioned with a knowing sigh.

Tony frowned slightly at the memory "whole different ball game,"

"Why do you want to use a sword?" Percy asked warily, afraid maybe the genius had some motive behind it.

"It'd be fun," Tony shrugged.

"I don't have a spare sword," Percy really didn't want to teach the billionaire how to use a sword.

"I already have one," Tony argued.

"Mine's Celestial Bronze, if I try to hit you, it'll go right through you," Percy argued back. In all honesty he was hoping to stop by camp to talk to Chiron. He was beginning to worry about what was coming…

Thankfully, Pepper entered, becoming his saving grace. She had a file in a hand and everyone knew she meant business. Percy escaped into the kitchenette and began placing his bowl in the dishwasher, hoping he could maybe slip out silently while Pepper was talking.

"You're have a meeting with Mr Dare in fifteen minutes," Pepper scowled down at Tony.

Percy walked back into the room with renewed interest "of Dare Enterprises?"

Pepper seemed surprised but nodded anyway.

"Small world," Percy shrugged "can I borrow a phone?"

He dialled in Rachel, of course it wasn't hard for to come in. So while Tony was in a meeting with her father, she came up into the lounge room and talked to Percy, while doodling on her jeans. Rachel hadn't changed much, her hair was longer and had lost some of it's frizz, and her eyes where a slightly deeper green, but other than that she was still the same old Rachel.

"Just when I thought Tony Stark was cool, he has to go make a deal with my father," Rachel sighed, drawing the same three over and over again.

"He's bearable," Percy shrugged, wondering why his friend kept drawing three

"Just ask the question Percy," Rachel said with a smile.

One bad thing about Rachel being the Oracle was that she sometimes knew what you where going to do in advance. Percy had just been thinking about why Rachel would keep drawing three's, and was prepared to ask.

"Why do you keep drawing threes?" Percy asked with a smile.

"It's all I've been seeing lately. Power of three, curse of three, luck of three…." Rachel trailed off "like something with three is going to happen,"

"Not a prophecy?" Percy asked worriedly.

"Like a warning…." Rachel trailed off again, eyes glowing slightly "beware her of three,"

Percy knew that wasn't part of Rachel, that obviously had to be Oracle. He wouldn't forget that, he would have to ask Chiron about it when he went to camp.

"So, uh, how's school?" Percy changed the subject.

After about an hour of talking Rachel left, apparently her father would get suspicious is he saw her in the building. Percy just shrugged and leaned into the couch, thinking of heading to get lunch before he left. But a loud crash of thunder made his gaze flicker to the window. His eyes widened with surprise as he rushed to the glass to stare outside. It had not looked like this before. The clouds where thick and dark, blocking out the sun entirely while the wind blew so hard Percy could hear it whistle…he could've sworn it was clear outside just a second ago.

Someone had pissed Zeus off, badly.

Running into the elevator he pulled up his hood and stepped onto the roof, nearly being buffeted off by the wind. Going to the safety bar he held onto his hood so no one could see his face, then attempted to gaze at the Empire State Building where the centre of the storm was.

"Did someone piss Thor off?" Percy turned to see Clint working his way over to the railing, followed by Natasha.

"Not Thor, Zeus," Percy said, just as a bright flash of sheet lightening illuminated the Empire State Building.

"Someone's up there," Clint said suddenly, squinting at the building.

"How can you even see that?" Percy asked but he didn't get a response.

"Natasha, get me binoculars," Clint said to the Russian spy, who disappeared into the elevator "there is someone up there,"

Natasha came back surprisingly fast and handed Clint the high tech binoculars. Percy watched the elder man, trying to read his face to find out what was going on. Clint paled suddenly though, making him look as white as a sheet.

"Code red," Clint said, voice surprisingly smooth.

Natasha snatched the binoculars from his hands and looked for herself, becoming pale as well. In a rush the two spies where gone, leaving Percy to pick up the binoculars to try and figure out what Code Red meant. He understood why they had paled so dramatically.

A man wearing a weird ram horn helmet, strange green and gold armour, and a cape stood on the highest service level of the building. Percy had watched enough news to know who that was. Loki. But Percy felt sick as he saw who was next to him. Thalia and Nico where next to him. From this view he couldn't tell what kind of state they where in, but just the sight of them was enough to make his blood boil.

Rushing down stairs he entered his room and put his armour on as quickly as possible. With his helm under his arm he went to the roof where everyone else was already gathered, ready for the fight.

"Thor, go first, try and talk to him," Steve ordered briskly "Clint, with Percy, try to get as many arrows into him as possible, Percy, stay in the air to get Clint a good shot. Tony, get those two out of there, Natasha and I will empty the building. Bruce, I want you on standby,"

Blackjack came just as Steve had finished. Tony flew off towards the building, Thor following close behind. Percy swung skilfully onto Blackjacks back and offered a hand to hoist Clint up. The son of Poseidon would have to commend Clint later on his willingness to climb aboard the Pegasus.

"Keep it smooth," Percy told his Pegasus who neighed in agreement before taking into the air.

In a couple mighty flaps of his long wings Blackjack was circling the monument.

"How'd you want to shoot?" Percy yelled back to Clint, who was gripping onto Blackjack with his knees soley.

"I can shoot from anywhere," Clint yelled back, already knocking an arrow.

Upon closer inspection he saw Nico was looked rather battered, a black eye, bruised cheek, and from the way he wasn't putting weight on one leg he had broken something. Thalia on the other hand was looking absolutely terrified by the height she was at.

"What if this madness Loki?" Thor boomed as he landed on the walkway.

"I made a new business deal, nothing personal," Loki sneered back before beginning to fight Thor with what seemed to be a staff.

"Incoming, four o'clock," Clint yelled and Percy turned, but suddenly a strong gust of wind sent Blackjack into a corkscrew spiral.

"I don't see anything!" Percy yelled back.

"Two o'clock!" Clint yelled again and this time Percy did see it. It was like the clouds had formed the shape of a man. Clint fired an arrow and it went straight through. Tony seemed busy fighting off his own attackers, but their weapons seemed to have no affect on them.

He steered Blackjack in to where Thor and Loki where still locked in battle. Diving in stopped on the laneway next to Thalia.

"Thalia, I need your arrows," Percy said straight away.

"Are you insane! Get me down from here!" Thalia yelled over the rising winds.

"I can't carry you all, just wait!" Percy yelled back "I need the arrows!"

Thalia fumbled with a charm on her bracelet before handing it to her cousin. Clint was looking rather impatient, but after Percy shoved a newly retrieved quiver of bronze arrows towards him he seemed to be a bit happier. He slung it over his shoulder next to his other quiver and began firing off with those, finally making the Anemoi Thuellai disperse.

Using his own sword Percy tried to disperse as many as he could, but the Storm Spirits would just turn intangible. Tony was shot down to the streets below by some lightening, and Percy could see him working his way out of some rubble.

"Let's see how the daughter of Zeus flies, shall we Brother?" Loki sneered as he suddenly appeared next to Thalia, who looked so pale she could be a ghost.

Loki grabbed the scruffs of his two cousins clothes and with strength Percy wouldn't have guessed he possessed, flung them both over the edge. Percy dug his knees into Blackjack so hard the Pegasus whined in pain, but still continued to chase them. Thalia was screaming loudly, while it seemed Nico was attempting to draw shadows so he could travel.

Clint caught onto Nico first and flung him onto Blackjack. Percy didn't have time to stop though as they begun diving deeply for Thalia. Blackjack couldn't go any faster, and Thalia was too far away. It looked like she was about to smash into the pavement, but in a flash of red she was swept up by Iron Man.

"No one is safe!" Loki's voice boomed above the thunder "you will be exterminated!"

Perc swooped onto the ground and let Nico go to medics. He then flew back up, ready to give the guy that threw his cousins off a building a piece of his mind, but he was gone, leaving only Thor.

"Where is he?" Clint asked, jumping off the Pegasus.

"It was trickery," Thor spat "illusions where always Loki's strongest form of defence, I must visit him. HEIMDALL!"

In a flash of rainbow light Thor was gone. Percy tapped Blackjack with his knees and dived back down to the pavement. The road had been closed off and was filled with SHIELD cars and personnel, while New Yorkers crowded outside the police blocks. Blackjack trotted between the people, trying to find his cousins.

He found Thalia sitting on a sidewalk looking absolutely shaken. Her shirt was ripped and she had scratches on her arms and face, luckily that was the worse of it. Dismounting Blackjack Percy sat next to his cousin, who despite being a Hunter, was happy to hug him.

"Oh Gods," Thalia took a shaky breath.

"Are you okay?" Percy questioned as Thalia pulled away.

"Fine," Thalia tried to steal herself.

"How'd he get you?" Percy asked, mentally sending off Blackjack to go and find Nico.

"It wasn't him," Thalia wiped her eyes "she copied his body, his voice….she knew it would make the biggest reaction,"

"Who?" Percy questioned.

"Hecate,"
