You guys's reactions to the last chapter were great, so here ya go. Though for the people who questioned: I'm fairly sure the metal arm comment should have given it away. Also before people ask Wanda and Vision might pop up. I'm debating is Pietro should be really dead or not. Until I decide that, Wanda isnt gonna show up, and I just haven't worked out a way to bring Vision in yet.

And do tell me if you want Antman, Falcon, Spiderman or any others to make an appearance as well.

Recap:

Another Son of Poseidon. I have a brother.

--------------------------Percy POV------------------------------------

I'm not exactly sure how to feel about this. One one hand, im glad to finally have another sibling. Don't get me wrong, Tyson's great, but someone that I, hopefully,don't have to take care of as the 'Savior of Olympus' is a great relief. Seriously, who sets all their hopes on an 8 year old, then again on the same kid at 9, and then leave that kid in charge of feuding demigods? Greek/Roman gods apparently.

Apparently I was staring at my new found brother to long because mr. glowing - what was his name again? - decided to wave his hand infront of me again. This time I only Judo flipped him. He can thank Annabeth for that, if he survives to ever meet her, then survives actually meeting her. Annabeth is a very violent daughter of Athena.

I'm snapped out of my wonder-how-long-he'll-survive thoughts when my brother starts laughing. Apparently im not the only one to be surprised as everyone else in the room whips their heads towards him.

When he stops laughing, I look between him and the others in the room before talking.... in Ancient Greek.

"Why are they looking at you like that?" And now they'er looking at me like I've grown a second head.

"Well little brother, they know me as silent, broody, and closed off. They don't know that I'm just avoiding them so I don't accidentally drop the demigod bomb on them." He responds with a smirk. At the 'little brother' part, I almost crack a small smile. Almost, but it's still the closest I've come in the since this morning. I'm pretty sure everyone else in this room is so shocked that they might explode if we do anything else unexpected. Except the red head. She looks like she's studying us. It's a bit creepy, I'm used to that look from monsters and it's taking everything in me not to bring riptide out.  It seems My brother noticed that fact cause he spoke again but in English this time.

"I'll show the kid to his room." He waved for me to follow him, and I did just that, forcing my tense muscles after him before my battle reflexes decided they should be in control again.

"Thanks."

"No problem, didn't need you pulling a sword on them or anything. They're all clear-sighted, which would make explaining very difficult."

I paled. Clear-sighted mortals. I'm living with a group of Clear-sighted mortals, and another son of the big three. Just great. I sigh, not really anything I can do about it now.

"I'm Percy by the way."

"Bucky."

We just reached another staircase and elevator when we heard something from the room we'd just left.

"What the F*CK was that?!"

Bucky looked back before looking down at me. "We should hurry. Before they decide they think I'm gonna kill you. Elevator or stairs?"

"Stairs, I don't do elevators. Why would they think that?"

We started up the stairs.I'm glad he didn't even give my comment about elevators a second thought.

"Well, shortened version, I'm from the same time as Steve, back in world war two. I fell from a cliff but didn't quite die, I was found and turned into a super soldier with a built in command word. Anyone who knew the words could control me. They turned my into a villain until Steve found me and sent me to Wakanda where they fixed that issue. Now im here, though most of the team has accepted that fact, old habits die hard and they dont really trust me."

I snorted and switched to greek, I felt as though people were listening in. "Well, at least they didn't realize what you were. With our dad, you could have destroyed the world."

We got off the stairs and started walking down a hallway. He looked at me as we walked, though he seemed to get my hint when I switched languages. "I don't think I could have. My water and earth-shaker powers aren't very strong."

Now it was my turn to be confused. "Really? Uncle Z and the council have been arguing whether or not to kill me since day 1. Apparently if I get mad enough I could level half the planet in a few minutes. Didn't really believe them at first. Now though..." I mumbled the last part.

He opened a door and It showed a plain room. White walls, a queen size bed with grey sheets, black carpet, white dresser, a closet, a desk, and a book case. I set my suitcases down in the closet, and threw my backpack on the bed. I fell backwards onto the floor.

"Why are you on the floor? And what do you mean by 'now though'? what happened?" He asked as he sat down next to me.

"On the floor because I'm not gonna aggravate Athena by using grey anything, as for what happened, you must be really disconnected from the godly world to not know."

"Yeah well, being mind controlled didn't leave me time to chat."

And so, I started telling him what happened. From the day Ms. Dodds tried to kill me when I was 8, to earlier today when I found mom and paul. Though I left out my trip through the pit. No one needs to know those details. Just hearing about them would probably give Uncle Hades nightmares.

If you're wondering why im trusting a complete stranger with my story so quickly, its because at this point I just need someone who wont look at me like I'm glass. After Bucky's story, I believe he'd be understanding of my way of dealing with all the sh*t in my life and not try to send me to a shrink for a mental evaluation. Seriously, Chiron suggested I go to one. Yeah, No.

----------------the Avengers after the two left the room----------------

They were all shocked. Not only did this 11 year old kid take down Tony, twice, he didn't know who they were, then when Bucky comes in and laughs, he starts speaking a different language. If thats not odd enough, Bucky starts talking back in the same language, then just up and says he's taking the kid to claim a room. It wasn't until after they'd already left that Tony snapped them all out of it with his exclamation of 'What the F*CK was that?!'

The team responded in various forms of 'I don't know's. That seed to decide tony as he got off the floor and had JARVIS pull up a screen. It showed Bucky and Percy just leaving the stairs on Bucky an Steve's floor level. They were talking in that other language again. This time Natasha seemed to recognize the language.

"Thats Ancient Greek."

Steve looked at her "Can you tell what they're saying?"

Natasha shook her head, "I only know enough to recognize it. Its an old language and is often mistranslated. To speak it fluently would mean they either had someone pass the language down the family, or would take a lifetime to learn and translate correctly."

Barton then said the one question they were all thinking. "So how does an eleven year old know it?"

Another round of 'I don't know's followed yet again. They turned back to the screen to see Percy laying on the floor of the room Bucky brought him to, speaking in Greek to Bucky who was sitting next to him, leaning on the bed and listening.
