Chapter Fourteen
I was so mad at Father for nearly slipping that I didn't remember to ask Tony where my room was. I huffed and padded back up the stairs to the living room. I crashed on the couch that I saw when I was walking down to the pool. I laid down and just thought over what happened today, and if I would ever be able to tell the Avengers who I truly was. An hour after I resolved the issue in my brain, I started playing with Skiá. I was bored so I shifted back to my human form (with pants on thankfully). She loved when I pet and played with her, so we casually talked (she's telepathic) and I pet her, she's very demanding sometimes. Sing me a song, I wanna hear your voice Percy. I looked at her, uncertain. Come on, please? You know how much I love when you sing to me. I sighed, but smiled. Even if I sung horribly, she always liked what came out.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more.
Skiá had fallen asleep in the middle of the song, but I kept singing late into the night, and into early morning. I only stopped to replenish my voice and select a new song, but when Steve came down in the morning, I cut the song off abruptly and pretended I was just waking up. It was a good thing I was singing softly, otherwise it might not have worked. I rubbed my eyes for effect and pretended that I didn't know Steve was there while I stretched. For some reason I couldn't hear his footsteps anymore and then I remembered..... I quickly flipped around and sprang into the vent, only leaving my head out, snarling. "Forget what you just saw. It is of no importance to you." I turned around and crawled through the vents, once more admiring the little notes that were placed inside and following them to Tony's room. I looked through the grate and found Tony sleeping. I smirked, I was gonna prank him.
I am the wind that breathes on the sea
I am the wave, wave on the ocean
I am the ray, the eye of the sun
I am a tomb, cold in darkness
I am star, the tear of the sun
I am a wonder, a wonder in flower
I am the spear as it cries out for blood
The word of great power
I am the depts of a great pool
I am the song of the blackbird
Who but I can cast light upon the meeting of the mountains?
Who but I will cry aloud the changes in the moon?
Who but I can find the place where hides away the sun?
AiliIath Nerenn
From the breeze on the mountain to the lake of deep blue
From the waterfall down to the sea
Never changing or ending on the voice of the wind
Sing the dark song of Erenn to me...
Tony sprang up, sweating horribly and called his suit to him. He charged his repulsers and aimed, slowly turned in a circle. I chuckled darkly. "Have no fear, Man of Iron. I only come asking for my room location." I smirked and stuck my head out of the vent. Tony's face mask slid up and he glared at me. "I thought you were some crazy maniac trying to kidnap me! But, it's just you. Mr. Creeper, your room is the ninety-sixth floor." I nodded my head in thanks and crawled through the vents again. It seems that the little notes even have the floors labeled on them. I'm going to have to praise whoever thought to do this. I quickly made it to my floor, and checked all the rooms until I found mine. My room is just a simple room with a bed, a few shelves, a dresser, and a desk. I shook my head and started my crazy skills. I first used my destruction and creating powers to make my room, two of the tower rooms, by collapsing the wall in between, replacing the windows with wall, and getting rid of the two doors (I would create a door on the outside {only able to be opened by my magic}, and then walk through the water to get to my room). I then used my water, creation, earth, air, plants, etc. powers to create a tank that ran across all the four walls, of course, I made sure that it was big enough for the animals to live comfortably (so I basically had tanks for walls) as well. I created optimal living quarters for the creatures of land, water, and air. Next, I created the creatures. I gave life to two sea turtles, one Bernis eel, three seahorses, one sting ray, four jellyfish, one tiger shark, five starfish, one hippocampus, two swordfish, one octopus and a few tetra, beta, parrot, and clown fish (all put into the new water part of the tank); three Satanic leaf-tailed geckoes, four rabbits, five wolves, two foxes, one lion, two elephants, one peacock, three snakes, one rhino, two koalas, one giraffe, six squirrels, one alligator, three deer, one chimera, one tiger, three zebra, two pegasi, one alicorn, one unicorn, one dragon, one chameleon, two armadillos, four deer, and a tarantula (all put into the new land habitat); a parrot, two toucans, four hummingbirds, three blue-footed booby, several monarch butterflies, two doves, three owls, one Amazonian Royal Flycatcher, three ravens, four falcons, two eagles, one Cock-of-the-rock (all of these are actual animals, well, the weird ones at least {if you are uncertain}), one Bird-of-Paradise, three sparrows, and one Sickle-billed Vanga (all placed in the new sky habitat). I nearly collapsed after using so much energy, but it was worth it. I had created a ton of life, and gave them all a splendid home, if their happy 'hello my lord!'s can mean anything. I smiled at my new friends and gently pulled myself on the bed. I sprawled out and snapped my fingers. This took less energy from me, but it also felt like a cheat, so I didn't use it often (plus, it sends out a huge energy signature when I do {that can only be felt by gods, so we're good}) but right now, I needed to conserve my energy. The rest of my room changed to fit my thoughts, with a king-sized waterbed and Nemo themed bedsheets, a soft blue carpet, a driftwood desk and shelves, a starry ceiling that copied what the sky looked like, a blue-and-green-tiled bathroom across the hall, an amazing game room next to that, a movie theater across from that, and an Olympic sized pool on the other side of the bathroom. I closed my eyes and let myself drift for a little bit, completely forgetting about putting on a shirt, or making more clothes for that matter. You know that feeling when your body isn't tired but your mind is, so you just lay down for a bit? Yep, that's what I call drifting. As I laid there, my ADHD started acting up. Normally, I'd be annoyed, but it did save me from falling into there. Last time I slept, I had a nightmare, he said that I would be raped again by everyone, and I wanted to keep that away for as long as possible, because whatever happens in my nightmares, happens in my reality. I didn't want to alert the Avengers of my situation quite yet, if ever. After I recovered my energy, I sat up, and was met with a beautiful view of all of my new companions getting to know their habitat, while sending me curious glances every now and then. 'Lord? Are you alright?' The tiger shark was staring straight at me, I could see a little bit of confusion with concern mixing in his black eyes. I smiled. 'Of course. I'm sorry if I worried you. It had taken a lot out of me to create everything on this floor.' I saw the shark nod in acceptance. 'What is you name? And by the way, please don't call me Lord, Percy will do just fine.' The tiger shark looked at me like I was dumb, I take offense! 'Lord Percy, I don't have one. I was just created by you, remember?' I smiled crookedly. 'Oh yeah! Well, Mr. Tiger Shark, do you want to name yourself, or what?' I saw a sparkle in his eyes as he told me he wanted me to name him. 'Me? Well........ How about Igor?' The shark looked at me skeptically. I chuckle lightly and explain that it's means warrior of peace. 'Oh. Thank you, Lord Percy. My name is now officially Igor. I am forever in your debt.' I shake my head, smiling sadly. 'Please, if anything, you should be angry with me. And also, just Percy, Igor.' By then, all of my new friends were staring at me, so I continued to name them all, or have them name themselves.
Third POV
At lunch, there was a bit of a tense atmosphere. Siren had missed breakfast and it bothered the Avengers, wondering where he had been. They were wary and uncertain of Siren, though Siren was just sitting there giving his food to Skiá, his thoughts running a mile a minute. He was thinking of his creations, his old friends, and his current situation. Bruce tried to deactivate the atmosphere with a little chatting. "So Siren, I need to give you a proper check-up. I kn-" Bruce was interrupted by a buzzing coming from Siren's hairband. Siren made it morph into a phone and looked at it in horror. He had programmed it to only buzz if there were over a thousand messages sent to his number. Tony was looking at the phone in awe and jealousy, while the rest were looking at him suspiciously and oddly. "I'm sorry, but did your hairband just turn into a phone?!" Siren nodded unconsciously, still scrolling through all for he texts. "How did.... I get this many.......?" Siren murmured to himself while Steve leaned over his shoulder to see what he was doing. His eyes widened, and he fell on his tush. "What is wrong Man out of Time?" Thor looked at Steve questioningly while the rest of the team copied his look, other than Natasha. "Does anyone notice that this kid has a phone that can change into a hairband?! He has better technology than me!" Siren rolled his eyes. "It can turn into a gun too." He changed it, and aimed it at Thor. Everyone was immediately in alert, but Thor looked at Siren calmly. Percy fired his magic bullet at Thor, and everyone tried to attack him, but a force field surrounded the two. All of a sudden, to everyone's confusion, the bullet sunk into Thor and he erupted in a fit of giggles. "Stop... hahhahahaha! Stop..... Siren! Hahhahahaha! Siren rolled his eyes, smiling slightly, and charged another bullet as the team looked on in relief and concern. Siren shot the bullet that sunk into Thor once again. Thor stopped laughing, but still had a smile on his face. "Everything is fine friends. I was not harmed, and actually slightly enjoyed it." Steve nodded, and slowly sat back down, as did Bruce and Natasha. "So your gun just shoots laughing bullets? How is that helpful? Make the enemy laugh to death?" Tony scoffed. If anyone was really looking, they'd notice a slight glare from Clint. Siren rolled his eyes, Natasha did too. "That is possible, but no. The 'bullets' are actually my compressed magic, so I can turn it into anything. I could make it a water shot, air current, laughing fit, flamethrower, actual bullet, explosion, anything. Oh, it's also an earpiece." Siren slipped it in his ear, and sent JARVIS a radio call through his mind. "Sir, we are receiving a message from an unknown person. Do you wish to hear it?" Tony exchanged looks with the team, who were all staring at Siren, who was playing with Skiá. "Play it, JARVIS."
