Gh0stwr1t3r's out!
Percy's POV
a week later
After that stunt I pulled with Tony last week, Thor and I had a talk, or more like, he talked, I listened. Yeah, that sounds about right. He lectured me about responsibility and all that stuff. Honestly, he lost me at " percy, we need to talk."
I kond of zoned out for the rest of the lecture. I argued a bit before realising that he was going to win the argument as freaking always. He was an older and wiser god. I was still getting the hang of it. Why did older people always have to be right? Why couldn't they just let the kid win the argument once in a while?
Finally I got bored and told him that I would do everything I can to be a good god and that I would appreciate it if nobody else found out about it. He simply nodded and walked away unsatisfied and grumbling.
I sighed and went to the kitchen to try making blue pizza for lunch.
I sticked it into the oven for twenty minutes and took it out while it was steaming.
It tasted great, but I had put on blue cheese. I don't even like blue cheese.
I turned around and almost had a heart attack! There, right behind me, stood a an with black hair, a green cape and a helmet that looked like it had two golden elephant tusks, except it was pointing upwards.
"Who the Hades are you?" I asked.
"You don't know me?" He asked and I shook my head.
No, I didn't know who the hell he was, I haven't been in New York for three years. If Tony had recruited another avenger and didn't tell me about it....
"I am Loki. God of Mischief. " he explained. I raised an eyebrow. He sounded familliar, but he couldn't be greek. There is no Loki god of Mischief on olympus.
" never heard of you." I claimed. His mouth hang open in surprise.
"Are you sure? I am the one who started the war in New York last year. You should have heard about me." He said like it was obvious.
I shrugged. " I still don't know who you are, but you look vaguely familiar...." I put my finger to my chin and thought about it.
I swear I've seen those tusks before. Where did he get those tusks? Did he like, slay a golden Elephant or something? I like elephants, but not as much as horses. And that makes sense because I am the son of Poseidon. Oh yeah! My dad made me a god too! The solstice was coming up and I had no idea what to do. But what about this blue pizza? Maybe I can make some for the other gods. I'm sure dad will like it, but I don't know about the others though. Dad is the god of the sea and my brother works in his palace. I miss Tyson.
I got pulled out of my thoughts when Loki snapped his fingers in front of my face and said, " earth to Perceus." Dam ADHD!
"Oh sorry, what were you saying?" I asked and shook my head.
"I said that I wanted you to join me and rule the earth or I would have to destroy you."
"Uhhm.... no thanks. I made blue pizza Would you like some?" I held a plate of steaming hot blue pizza up for thim.
His face retorted in anger and he swatted the plate out of my hand and it broke when it hit the wall.
"Or you can swat it away and break the tower down. That works too." I quickly said as I stubled away for his swinging sceptre.
"I understand that you don't want blue pizza! I can make normal ones if you want!" I reasoned. He lunged at me.
"What do you want? If you don't want pizza, I can make pop tarts for you!"
He lunged at me again.
"Ok! A simple 'no ' would have sufficed! I was just eating! There's no need for you to try to kill me!"
"Of course there is! You work with the avengers!" He growled. This guy was starting to annoy me now. Since when did I work with the avengers? Sure, I lived here, but had never helped them save the world. I was busy with camp Half-Blood and camp Jupiter and kind of dealing with my amnesia, not that anyone knew about that ( except maybe Thor. Yeah, I knew that gods were looking out for us, but these asguardians were stalkers!) I felt a tug in my gut and the tap started vibrating and the next thing I knew was that there was water spraying everywhere. I controlled it and it locked itself around Loki.
"I never said that I was working for the avengers. I live here. That's it. Im at camp most of the time" this time it was me growling at him.
"Oh really? Then what were you doing on the hellicarrier a few years back?" He asked suspiciously.
"Tony adopted me! Pepper was out of town so I had to go with him. I don't even like air travel." The water molecules were tightening around him as I got angrier. I calmed down a bit. I couldn't afford to do what I did in tartarus.
"Oh alright." He shrugged. He seemed very calm and collected for somebody who tried to kill me seconds ago, not that he could. I was a god after all.
"So you're a god, huh?" I asked.
"Yes, god of Mischief. "
"I don't recall having a god of Mischief on olympus. Are you a minor god?"
"No I am asgardian."
"Oh. Yeah! I've heard of you! You're Thor's brother!"
Loki scoffed." Half brother..."
"Oh...." I said. " yeah, I have a half brother too. He's half Cyclops."
"Oh really? I have heard of horse hybrids and wolf hybrids, but I have never heard of Cyclopes hybrids."
"Yeah, I learned a long time ago not to question the gods' love life." I waved my hands.
"And why is that?" Loki asked, genuinely confused.
"Because gods fall inlove with some strange things!" We both laughed at my last comment.
Finally, I asked," Ok, are we cool now? Can I let go? Promise that you won't attack again. Swear on the river Styx. "
"Yes we are. I swear on the river Styx. Now let go." He rolled his eyes.
I let him go and the water went back into the tap. I grabbed a chair, sat down and took a cookie. I motioned for him to take one and sit down.
He smiled, which I have a feeling he hasn't done in a while.
"So what can you do? I'm guessing that you are a son of poseidon?"
"Ding! ding! ding! Good sir, that is Correct!!!" I announced just like a gameshow host.
Loki straightened up and cleared his throat. " Poseidon is a powerful god. So, how come you look so weak?"
I almost choked on my blue cookie. Weak?!
"Weak? Ha! You just haven't pissed me off yet. Trust me, you dont want to see me when I'm angry. It can get really ugly really quick. I went to tartarus and back and I won two wars. I have been offered immortality, but I turned it down. The only reason I am a immortal now, is because my dad needs me and Annabeth agreed to be a god with me."
I looked into Loki's eyes. There was a spark of fear in them.
Good.
"Loki, all due respect, but if you decide to threaten me or my family and friends in any way, I will not hesitate to kill you and send you to the darkest depths of Tartarus itself or wherever your monsters go."
Oh gods, I am beginning to sound just like Zeus.
Loki stayed quiet with a firm look on his face. His eye twitched, but he still looked pretty terrifying.
Suddenly, he asked," what exactly can you do?"
"What you saw just now, wasn't even a quarter of it. I can cause hurricanes and sea storms. I can travel in the form of vapour. I can communicate with fish and horses. I....I can manipulate the water inside your body....." my voice cracked in that last sentence. Images of Tartarus flashed before my eyes. Annabeth had run away in terror, but it wasn't because of Night....it was because of what I did to Night. I manipulated the water inside of her blood, luckily, Annabeth stopped me before I could get carried away with it. I shook my head.
No, I will not think about that place again!
"Percy?" Loki asked, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Right! Sorry, got a little lost in thought. You were saying?"
"You were telling me what you can do." He said like it was obvious.
"Right! Sorry. That, and much more." Just as I said it, Tony and Steve came in. A shocked look on their faces. Whenever they pulled that face, I felt like I had done something wrong.
I waved at them innocently. "Hey" I said.
Steve snapped out of his shock faster than Tony. He looked at me in alarm.
"Percy" he said slowly, "I want you to stand behind me, but come slowly."
I looked at Loki and shrugged. Figuring that they were just overreacting. I got off my chair, set my pizza down and walked to Steve.
By now, Tony had also snapped out of it and looked at me. "You ok?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just talking to Loki."
"About what?" Steve asked.
"Greek stuff. Sure, he knocked the plate out of my hand, but then I made him swear on the river Styx that he wouldn't attack again. He's ok."
"Did he ask what you can do?" Asked Tony.
"Yeah, and I told him. He also asked whether I would join his army. And I told him no."
"Percy.....I need you to go upstairs to your room right now. We need to take care of this."Tony instructed, now staring at Loki.
"But-" I tried to protest.
"Now!" He commanded. I sighed and walked out of the room.
I
stopped in the hallway and listened intently. I heard Steve shouting something and then crashes of plates and pans.
Then I heard a cry of pain. I rushed back to the kitchen and opened the door. Steve had a nasty bruise on his head and a wound on his shoulder and Loki was gone!
"What. Happened." I demanded.
