STEVE POV:

The trip to Wakanda was fairly uneventful. Steve was expecting their mysterious passenger to awaken during the trip and had strapped him down to a seat with a lot of rope, but he was still surprisingly knocked out, so he thought that he must've been unconscious for a very long time and his body was used to not being conscious. Once they landed at the safe house, everyone immediately just went to their rooms to catch some shut eye. It had been awhile since they had had a good rest and they just wanted to bask in the warmness of their bed. Well, everyone that is except Steve who had been unofficially designated to take care of their passenger, even though he was against bringing him with them in the first place. Accompanied by T'Challa, they headed to the infirmary where they would assess the strange man to see if he was alright and whether it was safe or not to wake him up. After making sure the nurses and doctor were informed of the potential danger their guest posed, T'Challa motioned Steve to follow him, into the next room so they could speak in private.

"So let me make sure I understood you correctly: you liberated a potentially insane person who may or may not have powers, from the underwater facility, which by the way, Ross had probably good reason to put him there and keep him unconscious, and brought him here just because your team had a hunch that he wasn't a psychopath?"

"Well, when you put it that way…. But listen, they made good points and I couldn't exactly say no now could I? Everyone wanted to take him with us, so whether I had accepted or not, he probably would've been here with us anyway."

"Steve, they look up to you, had you been a bit more forceful in pressing the point that he could be dangerous, they would've eventually relented since they trust your judgment, and we wouldn't have had this headache in the first place. Liberating the avengers is one thing, since they have saved the world a couple of times, but getting a random person out of jail, a highly secured prison might I add, isn't going to go down well with the UN. To put him in the same prison as the avengers suggests that he could do the same amount of damage as them, if not more. Point is, we know nothing, NOTHING, about him and you just brought a potential disaster waiting to happen to Wakanda. Don't worry, our deal still holds, I'll keep you safe here for however long you wish, it's just I could've done without this headache."

"Thanks T'Challa, I appreciate it, and don't worry, one of us will always be around him, even while he's unconscious, so you won't have to worry about him at all. It'll be like he's not even here."

T'Challa just sighed and shook his head before leaving the room and leaving Steve to his thoughts. While he felt bad about making things even more complicated for his friend, he still needed to trust his teammates' judgment, since ignoring their ideas and advice would lead to a bad team dynamic, which is the last thing he needed after the avengers' fight at the airport. He also still needed to check on Bucky before he went into cryostasis. Just as he was about to head out to see Bucky, a doctor got his attention: "Uh Captain? You might want to see this, it's about the new guest that you brought with you".

Immediately on high alert, Steve followed the doctor fully expecting to see the man up and attempting to free himself, and apparently it showed on his face since they doctor interjected in between his thoughts: "Don't worry captain, he's not awake yet, we're keeping him sedated for now, we just found something strange with his blood work". Shoulders sagging, Steve slowed his pace down and entered the medical wing. Turning to the doctor, he got straight to the point: "Mind showing me what was weird about his blood work up?"

"We haven't got back the tests yet, since we just took the blood samples, but while extracting the blood, one of the nurses found something odd: if the sun light hits the vial of blood directly, the blood takes on a bit of a golden tint. Naturally, we thought that it was only the sun light that was changing the color, so we thought nothing of it, but when we put it to the test under a white light, the golden taint was still there, albeit a bit fainter. Now it could be nothing, but it's more likely that it represents something different about the man, that's is he is even a normal human."

"What, you mean that he's a powered human like me and Nat, or more like Wanda?"

"Neither, what I mean is I'm not sure if the man you just brought to us is even fully human. Think of him more along the lines of someone like Thor, but to a lesser degree. From what we can determine, he is physically very fit, and could probably give a non-enhanced person who has a lot of muscles a run for their money in a strength competition. However, if he is indeed not human, and just has the appearance of one, then everything I just said could be completely wrong in either direction, so basically even stronger or just weaker than expected. At this point, until he wakes up, I can't determine exactly what his physical abilities are. We'll get the blood results in a couple of hours, so we'll know more then. I'll keep you posted captain Rogers."

Thanking the doctor, Steve left the medical wing to go say goodbye to Bucky. What no one in the room saw was that their guests' fingers were twitching.

PERCY POV:

Blood. That was the only thing he could smell and it surrounded him from all sides. So many demigods were dead fighting the monsters that he could honestly say that he wanted to vomit. But he held it within him and kept up fighting, since he needed to maintain appearances to give hope to the reaming demigods. Most of the Greeks and the Romans had been wiped out during the fight, and the rest of them were being overwhelmed by the sheer number of monsters. While not a serious threat by themselves, the constant interference of Gaea kept making things more difficult for everyone. Already, Frank, Hazel, Piper and Leo had died from the seven, and the hunters, including Thalia and Artemis had been decimated. The only remaining gods that were still alive were Poseidon, Zeus and Athena. The good news though was that though they had suffered crippling losses, so did the giants: only Porphyrion along with Gaea and a horde of monsters remained. While Jason, Annabeth and Athena dealt with Porphyrion, it was up to Zeus, Poseidon and Percy to deal with a fully awakened Gaea, and the battle was not going well. Percy had no idea that she was this strong, tossing aside both gods while dodging their symbols of power, since those could apparently hurt her. Zeus and Poseidon were coming at her together, trying to get around her defenses, but a distraction proved costly. An explosion sounded behind them and caused them to stumble, which was the opening Gaea needed to impale Zeus with her sword and temporarily take him out of the fight. Turning around to see what had caused the explosion, what he saw horrified him: while the horde of monsters had been utterly destroyed, so were their allies: Porphyrion had killed himself to summon enough power into a final lightning bolt to beat his adversaries since he knew that he couldn't win in the conventional way. Percy just stood there mouth agape: everything surrounding Porphyrion was destroyed and turned into dust by the force of the explosion, leaving Zeus, Poseidon and Percy as the last line of defense against Gaea to try and stop her from destroying the world. In desperation, he had a crazy idea, which would probably kill him, but might just save the Greek civilization. Turning to the two gods, he shouted: "Wait for my signal then attack her together!" Nodding at him, they just readied their weapons while he turned towards a smirking Gaea.

"What's wrong little demigod, have you finally realized that you are outmatched in every way? You should've joined me when I asked, then your girlfriend might still be alive."

Shaking with rage, Percy summoned all of the energy he had left and focused on Gaea's blood. When she figured out what he was trying to do, she just laughed, since she didn't believe that a demigod had the power to control her blood. So Percy smiled when her expression turned to shock, and he shouted at the gods: "ATTACK NOW! I CAN'T KEEP THIS UP FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SECONDS!" Without hesitation, they launched themselves at the primordial goddess, and impaled her with their symbols of power, making her scream out in pain. Unfortunately for the gods, Percy couldn't keep hold of her for longer than the window of attack, and if he was being honest with himself he was surprised that it worked on a goddess, so Gaea grabbed both of their heads with her hands and started chanting, her eyes glowing menacingly. Throwing one last look of pure hate towards Percy, she shouted at him:

"Enjoy being the last remnant of the Greek pantheon Perseus! The gods, titans and primordial gods will never reform, I have made sure of that. For your actions, you will be forced to walk this earth with no one you can relate to, no god to guide you, no other demigods to help you and support. Congratulations Perseus, you have managed to push me to the limit and do something I never wanted to do, enjoy the solitude godling."

Just as she finished taunting him, a bright light filled the area, causing Percy to shield his eyes so he wouldn't go blind. When the light subsided, Percy was on his knees, and the last thing he saw was a blue light heading towards him, and entering his chest, right before he collapsed and embraced unconsciousness.

And that's when his eyes snapped open…

AN: Hey guys, here's the next chapter in the story, had some free time so I decided to not be lazy and upload this for you guys. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but hopefully in the next 2 weeks, since exams have started and my free time is getting shorter.

To AACM25: If you're referring to Percy lifting a ton, mind referring me to which book he does that without water? Holding the sky up doesn't cunt for me, since that's more of a rare occurrence and a mental thing more than a common occurrence.

Also, the chapters will vary in size depending on what I have to fit into a chapter, and whether or not I'm expanding or not, but the chapters will never be shorter than 1000 words.

Hope you enjoyed this guys, remember don't forget to review so I know how to make myself a better writer and move this story in a good direction. Also, I put up a poll on my profile to decide Percy's love interest, it's between Ms. Marvel and Wanda, so be sure to vote for who you want to win.
