"Well, Little Hero? What will you do now?"

Percy could only watch, pinned down by the earth, as each of his friends were killed before his eyes. He shut his eyes tightly, looking away when their screams filled his mind.

Leo, sinking deeper beneath the ground, crying for help as his head was covered. Jason had tried desperately to save him only to be crushed by a large boulder.

"Percy!" Thalia cried as she was thrown up in the air, "Help!" For a moment, as she fell, she caught herself, hovering in the air. It didn't last, however, as she lost control of the wind and fell, the sound of her body hitting the ground echoing through the air.

"Thalia!" Percy shouted, tears welling up in his eyes, "No! Stop! Please!"

"Percy!" Frank spun around desperately as earthen warriors sprouted from the ground, firing off all of his arrows, "Help Hazel!"

Hazel... Oh, gods...

Hazel reached ran for Percy, arm stretched out, only to choke on her blood as she was ran through by a sword.

"Hazel!"

Piper was thrashing around as she was held down by Gaea's warriors, the earth continuing to fill her throat, fill her lungs. "No more pretty voice!" One cackled. Tears slipped down her cheeks and she tried to reach for Jason's bloody hand, to hold him one more time.

"Piper!"

"Well?" Gaea's voice was next to him, as soft as a whisper, "What about your Annabeth?"

Percy's eyes widened, tears welling up, "No..." He fought against the earth, "No!"

"Percy..."

Annabeth was held up in front of the son of Poseidon by Gaea, face turning red as her air was cut off from her, "Per...cy.."

"Annabeth!" Percy fought harder, scarping his hands bloody as he tried to claw his way free, "Annabeth!"

"I love you... Per...cy..." Annabeth managed to speak before her neck was snapped. Gaea cackled over her broken body, smiling as if she was walking calmly through a meadow.

"ANNABETH!"

Percy shot up in bed, panting harshly as tears streamed down his face. He threw the covers off, swinging his legs over and burying his face in his hands, "Leo... Jason... Frank... Piper... Hazel..." His voice hitched, the tears coming harder, "Annabeth..."

"Sir," JARVIS spoke quietly as to not frighten the demigod. "Shall I call the others?"

"No," Percy gasped out, looking at the tiny camera which was JARVIS's 'eye'. He tried for a smile, "I-I'm alright. I just..." He stood up, nearly falling back on the bed when his legs wouldn't support him, "I need to release some steam..."

"Perhaps you'd like to spar with Captain Rogers," JARVIS suggested lightly. "He's in the spar room on the upper level. He always enjoys having a sparing partner."

Percy hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright then. Could you tell Steve I'll be coming up?"

"Certainly, Sir."

"Thanks," Percy wiped his eyes, exchanging his shirt for another black one. He figured that since he was going to be sweating a lot, might as well take a shower after his exercise. He shook his head, running a hand through his hair, and glanced at his clock.

5:02am.

"Okay, now I'm mad," Percy growled, throwing open his door and marching to the elevator. No one, not even primordial sleep walkers, ruined his sleep. No one.

Steve looked up when he heard the doors to the gym slide open, "Percy! JARVIS said that you wanted to- Are you okay?"

Percy's hair was a messy, falling in front of his sea-green eyes which glowed against all of the black he wore. The sleeves of his T-shirt were ripped off, as if the demigod was frustrated, and he was sweating already. He looked pale, like he saw a ghost or something.

"I'm fine," Percy spoke, walking forward and rolling his shoulders. "I just need to blow off some steam."

Steve nodded, not pushing the son of Poseidon. He would wait until Percy told him, "If you're sure..."

Percy smirked, though his eyes held pain, "Give me your worst, Golden Boy."

Steve barked a laugh, making a 'come on' gesture with his hand, "Show me what you got."

Before a minute could pass, Steve found himself sweating furiously as he spared against the demigod. Percy was pushing him past his limits, making himself extend to boundaries he didn't even know he could reach. For a second, it looked like he would win, grabbing Percy around his mid section. It didn't work like that, however.

Percy grabbed Steve before bending backwards and slamming the super soldier onto the mat. He flipped over Steve's body, his fist an inch from the blonde's face as he said, "I win." He got up from on top of Steve, extending his hand to help him up.

"You're good," Steve grinned, wiping his mouth with the back of his other hand. "One more time."

Percy huffed a laugh, hands on his hips, "You sure you can handle it, Old Man?"

"Try me."

"I win," Percy said calmly, staring down at Steve, who's blue eyes were wide in shock.

"What..." Steve muttered before getting up, "Again."

"Aga-"

"That's the sixth time you lost, Cap," Clint grinned, jumping down from the vents. "Face it, Percy's too flexible for you to catch."

"Capsicle lost?" Tony walked in, an eyebrow raised in partial surprise.

"Six times," Clint laughed. "It was hilarious."

"What's hilarious is how bad you smell," Natasha spoke up, appearing out of no where. "Hit the showers. Both of you."

"Yes, ma'am," Steve spoke, making his way to the door.

"As you wish," Percy smirked, giving the redhead a two finger salute, before following the super soldier.

"Hey, Steve?" Percy called, stopping the super soldier before he got off at his floor.

"Yeah?" The blonde asked, turning around just as the doors were closing.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, Percy."
