Our current destination was under the ocean. Doctor Octopus had a lab down there. Now I have to admit I was nervous. I mean my father could probably sense me in his domain and then he'll tell the other gods that he sensed an aura potentially more powerful than them. Which meant they'll be hunting me until they had my hide. That's why I'm currently practicing the art of blocking my aura from other people.

Basically I made my aura visible to everone and worked on hiding it. This was practice so I got Steve to help. My aura was blackish purplish. It was all over me and it glowed brightly. I got Steve to tell me if something happened to it.

I was trying very hard on thinking of it going away, but it didn't work. At times like this I wish there was someone that can teach me how to use my many powers. Unfortunately I was the only one besides Chaos to have this many powers and there is no way I'm going to him/her. That's one more primordial to make an enemy of.

I like my life. Thank you very much.

Anyway I was trying different ways of making it disappear. Suddenly I got an idea. Instead of thinking my aura was gone, maybe I could think of turning it into that of a human. It should work. I think...

Let's just hope that something else doesn't happens to me...

With that in mind I started changing it. Making it weaker. Less noticable. More human.

"Percy! The aura changed color! Is that supposed to happen?" Steve said, panicked.

I looked down to see a peach human aura. The bad news is that it was draining my energy, but that shouldn't be a problem once I get near the water. "I did it!" I squealed as I hugged Steve.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you," I then kissed Steve's cheek. As you can imagine Steve was as red as a tomato. I love messing with him. He gets so worked up on girls touching him in any way.

"It was nothing," Steve stuttered out.

Right now we were supposed to be on the way to the ocean, but I convinced Steve to stay behind and help me out.

"I suppose we should be going out"

I grabbed Steve by the arm pits and flapped my big black wings to the sky.

"Put me down!" Steve screamed in panic.

"Sure thing old man," I dropped him.

He screamed all the way down til Blackjack swooped in. Yes I said Blackjack. You know the rare loyal black Pegasus I rescued. I called him to carry Steve because he's dang heavy. I mean seriously what does the guy eat! I know what your thinking. Shouldn't you be able to activate super strength or some weird thing like that. Well let's just say I'm felt lazy.

Steve was currently staring at the black Pegasus in shock. I don't blame him. He never saw a winged horse before.

Maybe I shouldn't of introduced him to the supernatural animal so suddenly.

Nah he'll get over it.

"What's up boss," Blackjack said.

"Nothing much. Steve needs a ride."

Steve finally got over his shock. "You talked to a horse with freakin wings."

"Way to state the obvious. You're acting like me with my ex boyfriend."

"But it has wings!" He said, trying to make sense of it.

"So do I," I countered.

"That's different. It's on a horse."

"Haha if you think this is bad you should meet Mrs. O' Leary."

I gave Steve some time to recuperate while I checked the time.

"Holy Hera we're four hours late!" I said

"Well looks like we're trying time travel."

"You can do that too!" Steve said, his voice rising.

"I think I can. I wouldn't know. I never tried it before," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"You mean to tell me that you are about to do something mankind has only dreamed of and you never did it before!" Steve yelled.

"Relax, Steve. I know what I'm doing. The team probably got captured, defeated, or dead by now. So we'll just go back in time and get there faster."

"They're dead!?"

"Nah. Probably just captured, but I'm too lazy to save them," I said.

"Besides how does this thing work? What if we meet ourselves there?" Steve asked.

"They'd disappear, but we still remember what we did in this time. Don't ask anymore questions because it's complicated and I don't even know how I know this stuff. My powers almost come naturally. Well kind of. Some of these I'm making up," I explained.

Steve's expression was priceless.

I flapped onto Blackjack's back before he said anything and started searching for the golden time aura. I found it and grabbed it. You see I found out that using my powers was easier to use if I found the power inside me and mentally touch it. Recently I've been able to use it almost effortlessly.

I felt time move backwards to a few minutes after the team left.

"Okay we're at the right time."

Steve looked around, shocked.

"So you can do this to any time you want?"

"Yep."

It was clear what he was thinking.

"I'm sorry Steve, but I can't take you back to your time," I said. "You were meant to be in this time and you still have things to do here. Now that I think about it, it's like Doctor Who. A fixed point in time. My advice is to move on. Find a girl and live life at its fullest."

I felt like a hypocrite. Here is was telling someone to move on and I haven't done that myself. In fact I was worse off then Steve. You see I kinda like Steve (Not like that). I can relate more to him than any other Avenger. We got quite close over the last few months. He kinda senses that I've been through a war. We like to exchange fighting techniques. Turns out I can hold out quite well against Steve. I even beat him in a few fights. Which he likes the the challenge. His thought are easy to read. So kind, polite, and humble. They just pop out at me. I wouldn't be surprised if he could lift Thor's hammer.

"I know Perce. I just... miss my old life. I miss my friends and my girl." Steve said sadly looking at his feet.

"It's fine, Steve. I know."

And I did. His memories were sad. Bucky died and Peggy is in a nursing home as an old lady.

"We better get going. The team is going to be mad," I said

"Blackjack follow me please," I yelled as I flapped off his back.

Needless to say we arrived at an island near the lab where the Avenger were supposed to meet. Steve got off Blackjack with difficulty, but we managed.

"Goodbye Blackjack!"

"Bye boss. Call me when you need me." Then he was off.

The island wasn't that bad. It was small, but beautiful. The palm trees abundant with coconuts and fruits. The temperature was warm. The sky bluer than I've ever seen before. People roamed around the place either taking pictures or going about their normal life as a citizen. Altogether I was jealous. Such wonderfully normal lives taken for granted.

We ran to the statue in the middle of town. We were late! Not as late as we were before, but you get the idea. I quickly put my wings under my shirt.

"Oof," I ran right into the statue and fell into Steve's arms to my surprise. What was worse was that the whole team was standing there.

Steve and I blushed and quickly jumped away from each other. Loki glared at Steve so much that if looks could kill Steve would be killed a million times over. I wonder what Steve did to make him so mad. Just to let you know I'm still mad at Loki. So that meant I'd be avoiding him the whole trip while he tried to apologize with his sweet puppy eyes.

"Sorry, Steve. I'm a bit clumsy," I said rubbing my head in embarrassment.

"So what's the plan, Spangles," Tony thankfully changing the subject.

"Oh-uh. We have to sneak into the lab and be on guard because they're are bound to alarms. Tony's going to disable the alarms and the rest of us are going to get through the traps and Hulk isn't going to come out until we actually encounter Doctor Octopus. Bruce is going to be disabling the alarms along with Tony. Natasha will help detect traps with her tech. Loki if you betray us you'll be in SHIELD's custody before you can say Asgardian.

Loki just smirked.

"Sounds good to me," Bruce said.

Everyone nodded.

"Here's the scuba suits," Tony said

Then we boarded a special SHIELD boat. It was black with the SHIELD logo. It was bigger and more high-tech than your average boat. Typical SHIELD. The ship went itself so no one needed to drive.

"We have arrived at your destination," a monotone female voice informed us.

They all got our suit on over our clothes. Tony just got his ironman suit on and I just sat there waiting to go.

Thor looked hilarious. Natasha looked as dangerous as she did without the suit. Bruce looked more like a marine scientist dude. Clint looked as dangerous as Nat. Loki, well he looked as charming as always. Although the suit did outline his lean form.

"Alright on the count of three we'll jump," Tony said. "One, two, three."

Natasha and Clint gracefully flipped in. Bruce just went backwards. Thor just jumped clumsily. Loki gracefully hopped out.

Tony and I looked at each other with a look in our eyes.

"You thinking what I'm thinking," Tony said grinning.

"Definitely," I replied.

We both flew up then dived into the water.

"Cannonball!" We yelled in unison.

Steve rolled his eyes.

"You guys act like children,"

"Oh come on Steve aren't we all a child at heart" Tony said grinning.

Steve just shook his head.

It felt good to be in the water. It still had an effect on me. I could feel power flowing through me. It was exhilarating. I could sense everything around me. The lab was right below me. Though it was slightly dulled because of the changing aura trick.

We all swam to the lab at the bottom of the ocean.

Tony and Bruce worked on cracking the code and hacking into the security cameras to erase the evidence of us being here.

"Bingo!" Tony exclaimed with a cocky grin as he got done.

We all went in the door. As soon as we closed the door the water that got in the room disappeared into the drain.

"Got to give him credit for his technology," Natasha muttered as we got rid of the suits.

I had to agree with her.

Tony was erasing our image from the security cameras.

"Wait!," I yelled suddenly.

The Avengers all stopped in their tracks.

"I sense a trap here."

Natasha took out a type of spray. She sprayed it all over the area. Red beams of light all over the place. It looked like it would be very hard to get through physically without touching at least one beam of light.

"I can't hack into the trap. One person needs to get to the other side and turn it off without touching the red beams," Tony said, disappointment clear in his voice.

I quickly closed my eyes and scanned the strings of Fate, searching for the right decision to make. I saw one possibility where I just use my powers to go through, but it later caused much distrust of my team members and I saw a few other possibilities where my teammates try to get through and each attempt leads to the alarm setting off and us being captured or dead except for me (I just go to Tartarus to reform). As I went deeper I saw another possibility where I go through physically and everything goes fine. The last possibility was like that except everything goes wrong.

I chose to go through physically. Hopefully the last possibility doesn't happen. I opened my eyes to find that I lost a lot more energy than I planned over that. Especially since I was also covering my presence. I started taking energy from the water beneath me. I willed the energy to flow faster. When I finished I felt better than ever.

"Guys I'll go."

Everyone was surprised that I volunteered or anyone volunteered for that matter. It looked next to impossible to get through that.

"Are you sure you want to do it, Percy? The beams can hurt you if they touch you," Tony said, concern clear in his voice. Looks like the playboy does care for someone other than himself.

"Of course Tony. I'd do anything if it meant you guys would be okay," I said with a smile. Everyone looked unnerved by that comment. I pushed into their minds to see why.

They all had the same question. 'What does she mean? Even death?' They all seemed horrified that someone would be so reckless just to save a few friends.

Loki seemed even more horrified. 'She can't do that! I won't let her die! I never got to tell her,' his voice was desperate. Like he longed for something. Something special...

I was confused at what he meant by that.

But honestly I probably would die for them. I mean what would happen if they all died? What if Loki died? I shuddered at the thought. Life would be meaningless. I'd probably try anything to kill myself if that happened and no Fates could stop me then.

That won't happen! Not if I can help it. I'll give up my powers and my life if I have to. I'd even mess up time to save them. My friends will not die on my watch. Not if there was something I could do about it

Ugh I really am the loyal hero every monster tells me I am.

I'm back. I'm so very sorry about the long wait. What was it two, three months. Look at the bright side some people haven't updated for five years. I'm not exaggerating. I'm pretty sure they quit, but they never said anything. Don't you hate it when that happens. This isn't my best work and I know it. My better work would probably be the last chapter. I'd like to just say that I'd appreciate it if we cut back the plain 'please update' reveiws. Although they were acceptable for last chapter because of the long wait. I know I like to tell the author how much I like the book and how to make the book better when I reveiw. Then I say the typical 'please update' reveiw with it. Let's face it those reveiws are what's reminding us to get a move on because these readers are hungry for more. So if you can take a look at it. Reveiw and vote. Love to know what you think. I can take a critique too. This is my first story so I'm learning.
