My sister is leaving for a sleepover in half an hour. She's on the other side of the room while I write this. She went to the loft and got out a blow-up mattress and I'm a bit confused.
Adding Nico into this. He's doing better since the ending of the war in case you're confused about his behaviour. And he's open about being gay (sort of) and is dating Will Solace because I ship them.
Percy:
I groan and sit on my bed, letting out an annoyed sigh. How could I say such a thing? Why were my outbursts so bad lately?
My stomach yearned for food, but I couldn't bring myself to eat. There was no time when Leo is still missing. I went to the bathroom and made a rainbow in the sink.
"Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me, Nico Di Angelo, camp half-blood." I said. The image shimmered colourfully as the scene formed to show Nico by the strawberry fields. "Nico!"
The boy in black looked up, his eyes lighting up when he did. "Percy! Hey man." Nico replied. "Where are you? What's happening?" I locked eyes with him.
"I'm at the Avenger's tower." Nico's face was a mix of excitement and confusion. "House was destroyed while we were – "I paused. "– away. He's insisted I moved in with the Avengers which has been my doom so far." Nico scoffed at me.
"Percy just enjoy things like that for a bit. You get to live in the most expensive building in New York, meet and live with Tony Stark and more." Nico ranted. I smiled. "What?"
"You're happier than when I left you," I noted. "Where've you gotten with the searches." His face hardened slightly.
"Nothing's comes up. He's alive but I can't sense him." Nico said. He shifted in his place; someone was knocking at my door. "Will's allowed me to go look for him. Leo's whole cabin is looking into it. Percy everyone is looking, when something comes up, I'll let you know. Don't worry."
"How can I not worry?" I said loudly.
"Percy?" Bruce Banner said from outside my bedroom door.
"Styx." I cursed, looking back at Nico. "I'm still looking for him, I know they are too, but I can't rest knowing he's still out there – gods Nico I can't even sleep!" he sighed and nodded.
"Neither can I. I should go." Nico swiped through the call and the water splashed down. My door was opened, and I went out of the bathroom. Bruce was in my room, looking around before his eyes saw me.
"Hey, are you okay?" Bruce asked. something clicks inside my head.
"I swear if one more person asks me that – "I dared but never finished the sentence. He offered a smile while walking further in.
"Well, that's probably because you look like death itself." Bruce retorted. I let my eyes soften to a sudden thought.
"You should see my cousin," I whispered too quiet for him to hear, then looked up to meet his eyes. He shifted. "What do you need Banner?" he muttered something under his breath about Fury but kept his normal expression.
Bruce then asks, "What do you want for dinner?" I lean against the wall. "The others are suggesting pizza, but you can have whatever you want." I purse my lips together in thought.
"I'm not really hungry," I said shamefully.
Bruce rolled his eyes hiddenly. "Are you sure? We usually watch TV together at dinner. It's fun, you should come sit with us." He offered, looking hopeful. "Peter could use someone his own age. You don't have to eat." I snapped my head up.
"Fine. Give me 5 minutes." I decided. Bruce left with a smile on his face.
Bruce:
I left the kid in his room and headed out to the others in the lounge. Vikings were on the big screen TV; the Avengers were doing their own thing. Peter was on his Stark phone (curtesy of Tony) next to Wanda. Tony was sitting on the armchair with his tablet, looking through specs and prototypes. Steve sat beside Clint who was talking to Natasha.
All their heads looked at me when I entered. "He's coming in 5." I voiced quietly. Nods and okays were coming from all around. Vision was over by the window where I could only just see him. Tony ordered the pizza.
Minutes later, Percyarrived and sat down beside Peter. Nobody noticed but me since they were alltoo distracted with their devices. Percy got his phone out and used it like hedidn't know what to do with it or how to work it. He suppressed a smile fromsomething on it. The AI alerted the room that the pizza had arrived, makingeveryone jump but Percy and Tony. With everyone looking up, they finallynoticed that Percy Jackson was in the room. He arched a brow but went back tohis phone.
It's boiling hot in my bedroom. Might go to dance studio since it's always cooler over there. Or I could just get lemonade and some ice-cream.
