Peter Parker pov
Peter wasn't entirely sure what to think of all the demigods standing before him, nor the loud banging from the floorboards below.
"Eidolons? Again? I thought we got rid of these bastards in Rome!" the Latino boy named Leo quipped as his fingers rapidly shifted around some mechanical part.
"Apparently not, they found another loophole, they possessed some of the Avengers, which means we can't hurt them," Frank sighed, the blond boy with glasses stepped up next.
"You said Percy led them away? That seems dangerous..."
Annabeth groaned, "I know, but its all we could do till you got here. Now that we have Piper, we're hoping she can charmspeak the eidolons out of them before things get worse."
The Avengers joined the conversation, and a quick plan was formed, far too soon for Peter's taste, it went time. His job, backup.
Peter crawled on the ceiling above the Avengers as they searched for Percy, the wreckage more than enough to tell them they were in the right place. That's when a goldened eyed Steve stepped out, his chest heaving and hands were bloody.
"Steve? It's me, Bucky...come on, wake up...push that monster out of your head," Bucky stepped towards Steve. The gold eyes locked onto Bucky's figure, unwavering and clearly not Steve.
The plan, get them away from each other and evict them one by one for the safest outcome. Steve was the first. Slowly, the Avengers team backed up, prompting the eidolon-Steve to move forward.
A chase, Annabeth said they loved the chase. Slowly they turned and ran, some veering into opposite hallways, but they knew the eidolon would follow Bucky.
Peter was quick to keep up and follow Bucky's movements. Eidolon-Steve followed Bucky and it was everything Peter could do to not jump off the wall. His Spidey-sense was going nuts and he couldn't even believe how much the eidolons messed with it.
"Steve! Please!" Bucky shouted as he dodged a punch and curved down another hall, Peter was quick to web up the exit behind them before he followed Steve and Bucky into a room. The second he crawled through the doorway, it was slammed shut.
Peter flipped into action, he wrapped Steve in a tight and full layer of webbing. Bucky and Peter were quick to shove him backward, where Steve landed on his back with a hard thump. That was when the Piper girl emerged from the closet, a smirk on her face.
Eidolon-Steve's eyes flashed gold, "No....no. NO! NO! NO!" he began thrashing and Piper was quick to intervene. Her voice filled with so much sway that Peter wanted to do anything she said.
"You will leave his body and never seek another host. Find some hole in the darkest and deepest pit in Tartarus and stay there. Live out eternity as a ghost," Peter shivered and suddenly Steve stopped thrashing, he blinked rapidly and looked really confused.
"Buck?"
Bucky smiled and softly knocked his fist into Steve's shoulder, "Yeah, punk, it's me. Some weird greek ghosty thing had you possessed. Don't do it again, hear me?"
Steve looked confused but chuckled nonetheless, "I'll do my best, Buck,"
"One down! Three to go!" Piper quipped as she appeared next to Peter. He chuckled uneasily.
Natasha Romanoff's POV
Nat crept down another hall, Clint directly at her side. Their plan was to get Sam and Rhodey away from each other. Easier said than done.
They had three of the demigod kids with them, the squirrelly short one, the tall quiet Asian one, and the short African American girl. Nat had learned their names to be Leo, Frank, and Hazel.
"Look, there they are," Nat whispered, she gestured her taser towards where Rhodey and Sam stood. On the other side of the hallway, Tony, Thor, Jason, Annabeth, and Nico and Will should be hiding. Nat prayed they were there.
"Okay ready?" The girl, Hazel, whispered, her golden eyes cast up towards Nat and Clint. Who simultaneously nodded. The girl took a breath and lifted her hands. Fog filled the hallway, and the squirrelly boy, Leo, rolled something towards the eidolons possessing Nat's friends.
"What the hell?" Sam cursed as he looked down at the fog. His eyes immediately shot up and began looking around. Rhodey following suit. They began looking wary and ready for a fight. That's when the bomb went off, shoving them in opposite directions.
Nat leaped out of her hiding spot, directly into the line of sight. She could barely make out Tony at the other end before she saw Sam launching towards her. Nat flipped out of the way and took off down the hall, her feet making loud noises so Sam could follow.
Nat dodged and weaved till she stumbled into a room, she didn't bother with the door. Sam entered directly behind her. Sure enough, the Latino boy leaped in and cracked something against Sam's head. he collapsed like a bag of bricks, and Piper walked in at that moment.
Tony Stark's POV.
Tony didn't care for being chased by his best friend. The plan was Tony and Thor would lead Rhodey away, while Annabeth, Nico, and Will would go in and search for Percy. Then Jason would be assistance, making sure Piper got to them in time to banish the eidolons.
Simple enough right? Wrong. Rhodey was shooting at them and causing enough damage to make Tony spend another fortune just repairing the place.
"Rhodes! For the love of God! Stop shooting my walls!" Tony yelled as he swerved the corner.
Rhodey's response was to continue shooting at Tony and the walls. Tony cursed and dodge a particularly close missile.
He rip-roared through the halls until he caught sight of Jason waving him down. Tony blasted into the room and with Rhodey behind him. The second he entered the room, lightning struck Rhodey causing his suit to drop to the floor like a rock.
"You couldn't have done that sooner?" Tony's face mask flipped up and he glared at Jason. The boy merely shrugged before he stepped up and helped Tony peel the face-plate off Rhodey.
Piper bounced in and immediately Rhodey's eyes shot open and this time they were pure gold. Tony felt a shudder run through him. He didn't like seeing his best friend like that. It wasn't him.
He opened his mouth to speak and Piper beat him to it, "Be gone bitch! Back to Tartarus with you!" That wasn't what she said, but it was what Tony liked to imagine. He refused to believe otherwise.
Nico di Angelo POV.
He was pretty sure Annabeth was gonna blow a gasket. He had never seen her this fretty over Percy.
"I'm fine, Wise girl. It's fine," Percy tried to reassure her. It was useless of course, but he tried nonetheless.
"I don't have ambrosia...I used it all up on Leo's wrist....gods damn it," She cursed as she searched through her bag. Will snorted from where Nico sat in his lap, he looked behind him to see Will casually holding a small baggie of ambrosia. He was waiting for Annabeth to notice him.
"Chase," Nico sighed, and sure enough her head whipped up. Her gray eyes zeroed in on the baggie and she snatched it from his hand easily.
"Thank you," She was already breaking off a piece to feed Percy, and he willingly took it.
"Oh, your welcome. What kind of doctor would I be if I didn't carry some?" Will wrapped his arms back around Nico's midsection.
"Thank you," Percy and Annabeth said in unison.
"Damage has been assessed and as I thought, it will cost a fortune," Tony sighed as he dropped himself down into the chair across from Annabeth and Percy.
"How are the others?" Hazel leaned forward, she was perched on the floor between Frank's legs. Despite that being his sister, he found it cute how Frank kept petting Hazel's hair.
Tony shrugged, "They'll be okay, rest for sure. The real question, how are you guys?"
Nico shrugged but his eyes drifted to Percy, he had a nasty looking black eye and a small concussion.
Annabeth was holding ice to the swollen eye as she looked up at Tony, "We'll be fine. Thank you so much for your help,"
Tony shrugged and began swiveling on his chair, "I'm just sorry we attacked you guys. You really are nice kids,"
Nico snorted and leaned his head back onto Will's shoulder, "It's fine, old man,"
Tony gasped and looked appalled before his eyes landed on Peter. Who was happily showing off his web-shooters to Leo. "Yeah...yeah, you're alright, Hot Topic,"
Then it was Nico's turn to be appalled but he was distracted by Will's loud ass cackling.
Maybe Percy being a complete idiot sometimes wasn't always bad? They had made some pretty incredible new friends. Nico hummed thoughtfully before he pinched Will's ear, which just started pinching and poking war.
Yeah, new friends were alright, Nico laughed as Will got a good poke into his side.
