This is Pipers point of view on first witnessing Percy's power. My spacing is really messed up for some reason and I can't seem to get it to work? If someone knows how to help please tell me
Over the past weeks on the Argo II Piper had come to like Percy. He was an easy going guy, always up for a joke or a laugh. Piper was also impressed at his extreme loyalty and love towards Annabeth and sometimes, dare she admit it, even envious
ofhow kind he was to her.

It is not really a fair question to gauge the accuracy of the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series to Greek mythology; especially because I had to read at least the first one before answering your question.

- Earthquakes can do more damage than tsunamis because earthquakes destroy buildings which takes much short time than rebuilding it which tsunamis only cause flash flooding which can be recovered as.
What Piper wasn't was scared of Percy Jackson.
Sure, he had a big legacy and Camp Halfblood all revered him as their leader but underneath it all Piper thought that Percy was just a normal guy. Reckless, funny and playful but your average demigod. Percy and herself hadn't really had much time to becomeclose

Although she knew Percy was powerful from the stories she'd been told she'd never actually seen him do much more than play with the water while doing the dishes and mess around with the waves. To her it sounded as though he wasn't really as powerful asJason,
perhaps second in power. Power over water sounded great but really was it better than power over the winds and lightning? She wasn't sure.
perhaps second in power. Power over water sounded great but really was it better than power over the winds and lightning? She wasn't sure.
The first time she really saw Percy's powers at full she changed her mind. Nothing she'd ever seen from a demigod rivalled the sight of Poseidon's son in battle.
It was a sunny day and the crew of the Argo II were relaxing on the deck. Leo was tinkering with Festus, Jason and Frank were sparring while Hazel watched and cheered them on. Piper was laying in the sun thinking about the quest ahead and Annabethand
Percy were sitting together quietly laughing and talking. The sight of Annabeth so happy made Piper glad. There was no sign of the brooding, cold girl Piper had met at Camp Halfblood. Instead Annabeth seemed more calm and collected, more

whole.
It came so suddenly that Piper barely had any time to register the damage. A wave of icy cold sea water swept onto the deck and threw the seven onboard into the now raging ocean. Piper was tossed around by the raging sea and all around her the suddenstorm
only intensified, the waves only became harsher. Just as her vision was beggining to dim from lack of air a strong arm wrapped around her waist and tugged her towards the surface.

Cool air met her as she broke through the waves and she gulped it down greedily. Completely exhausted she looked for her saviour only to find a pair of sea green eyes staring intently at her. Percy Jackson looked completely the opposite to how shewas
exhausted and hurt from her battle with the waves but Percy looked energetic and composed, ready for battle. It took her a while to realise that he was frantically talking to her.

'Piper? Piper!' He said gentley shaking her, 'are you all right? I couldn't find you for a while which means you were under longest. Gods I'm so sorry it's just that there was so much going on-'
She cut him off with a wave of her hand.
'It's fine Percy without you I'd have been dead for sure. What's going on anyway? One minute I was laying in the sun and the next..'
She let her sentence trail off as she saw his startling eyes darken with anger. His eyes. To Piper they were the most interesting thing about him. Sometimes you could look into them and see the tranquil sea but at other times, when he was angry or worried
itwas as if a storm was whipping itself up right in front of you. His eyes were a way to tell what Percy was feeling and in that moment there were hurricanes brewing in them.

How Does Percy Do So Much Dmg Work
'I'll deal with that problem,'he said darkly. 'Just join the others it shouldn't take a minute.'
Something in the way he said that made Piper shudder. He sounded so confident and calm, so dangerous.It was the opposite to the cheerful boy she'd come to know. Looking to her left she saw the rest of the seven in a group on a piece of wood that
musthave come loose from the ship. She swam towards them and was greeted by a very worried Jason and a disgruntled Annabeth. As she settled in she told them about what Percy had said earlier. Annabeth's eyes had an unreadable expression in them

gazed after Percy.
'If anyone can take down this sea creature it's Percy.' She said confidently. At that moment there was an almighty hissing sound and the creature came into view. It towered above the Argo II as it came to stand before it's opponent. Compared tothe
monster Percy looked small and Piper began to panic, what if Percy got hurt? It would be their fault, her fault that she didn't stop him. Just as she was about to run and help she was stopped dead by her awe.

A ten foot wave came rolling from the distance, hurtling towards them at a frightening speed. Percy stood with his arms raised towards it as he guided it towards his target. Even from a distance Piper could feel the raw power that radiated from the sonof
Poseidon as he stood in his domain, it was unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Percy brought his hand down in a sharp motion and the wave hurtled into the monster and knocking it into the ocean depths. For a few moments there was a deadly

silence.
Then came the most terrifying sight Piper had ever seen.
The creature flew out of the water and straight into the Argo IIwith enough force to send the ship toppling over. Straight onto Percy. The ship groaned as it fell almost in slow motion towards her friend. Annabeth tensed in fear and she
/heardJason shout something at Percy in desperation but it was no good, she was sure he'd be crushed. The entire weight of the ship crashed down on him and Piper averted her eyes, too devastated and distraught to watch any more. It was at that
moment thatHazel gave a large gasp.

Piper whipped around only to see something entirely impossible. Percy Jackson was using the force of the water from the ocean around him to stop the boat from crushing him. With what looked like little effort Percy gave a final push and righted the Argo II once

Quickly and angrily Percy stalked across the deck of the ship to face the sea monster head on. Percy made a fist-like motion with his hand and the water obeyed his will. A surge of water shot from the ocean and resembling a fist ittightened
around the creatures neck. The monster thrashed and struggled for a while before going limp in Percy's water hand. Finally Percy released his hold on the creature and it dropped back in to the ocean where it silently dropped to the bottom.

There was complete silence for a moment and then, 'well that was impressive.' Jason whistled. Percy grinned lopsidedly.
It was only later that night that Piper got to be alone with Percy. It was her turn to take watch from him and as she silently approached him from behind she couldn't help but think about his battle with the sea monster earlier. She stopped for amoment
andstudied him from behind. Percy Jackson had messy dark hair, a lithe build and a tall stature. Perhaps it was only because of what she'd seen that day but Piper could also sense a quiet power radiating from him, dormant at the moment but ready
to beawoken.

Piper realised that Percy was the perfect embodiment of Poseidons domain. He was gentle and calm like the tranquil ocean at one moment but could be whipped into a frenzied, powerful storm when need be. As changeable as the sea and as free. It was commonknowledge
/that Percy found being restrained hard, sticking to the rules wasn't his style and just as the ocean doesn't like to be contained neither did he. She was startled out of her thoughts by a quiet voice from the very person she'd been studying.

'I know it's you, Piper.' Percy said quietly. Piper blushed slightly and stepped up beside him quickly. 'Sorry,' she said 'I wasn't creeping up on you I was just lost in thought.' Percy studied her carefully with intelligent eyes. For a moment it struckher
how underestimated Percy was in that respect. He was often known as the goofy stupid one but as Piper looked into his eyes she saw a certain understanding and knowledge there.

'Thinking about what?' Percy asked.
For a moment Piper was flustered, how did she answer that question? Finally she opted for the truth. 'You.' She said. Percy had a knowing look in his eye as he regarded her kindly.
'Something you want to ask me?' He asked.
In truth there were a thousand things she wanted to ask him but one was at the front of her mind.
'How does it feel to have so much power?' She asked tentatively, 'to know you could flood cities with a single thought, to be able to call the ocean itself to your needs.'
For a moment he just stared off into the dark horizon.
'How does it feel to know that you could charmspeak someone into doing anything you want? To do a number of unspeakable things?'
Piper blinked in surprise. She didn't like to think about that kind of thing.
'I don't think about it,' she said quietly 'I would never do that so there's no point in even wondering.'
Percy looked at her with an unreadable expression on his face.
'There you have your answer,' he said as he headed towards his cabin 'goodnight Piper.' He called. Piper sighed. She'd never completely understand what made the son of Poseidon who he was but that was okay with her. She was just glad that someonesopowerful
was on her side and as long as it remained that way she was confident they'd succeed on their quest. Who knows, maybe then she and Percy could go surfing.

Thank you! Please review and sorry about spacing ugh
To RandomFanAuthor- FART-NUTS! I am British with Irish ancestry. Probably got family in Australia, but I've never been- spiders. It was definitely the longest chapter of the story, could have been worse! And when I was writing more often, one of my older stories, I think I did make Nico bi, or at the very least hinted at it. At the time, we didn't have canon-gay Nico, gods that was AGES ago! But no, no ReynaXNico, I personally got a sibling vibe from them! Besides, what about ReynaXLou? :P
To JasonGraceIsDead- yes it does! ^_^
'CUT THAT OUT! GIVE ME TWENTY PUSH-UPS! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!'
'LEO VALDEZ, I SWEAR TO GODS, I'M GONNA KICK THAT LITTLE BASTARD BACK TA AFRICA!'
'Nooo, leave Buford alone! Where did you get an axe?' They heard Leo swearing in Spanish, from where they were sat in the mess hall. He sprinted past with Buford in his arms. Louisa was few paces behind, an axe over her head, gone just as quickly. Percy sighed into his lunch. Mini-Coach yelled at her over Leo's shoulder.
'SQUARE UP, CUPCAKE!'
'Are you sure you're twins?' Frank asked.
'Unfortunately.' Percy huffed. He kissed Annabeth's temple and left. A minute later, he walked past, Louisa over one shoulder and her axe held in front of him so she couldn't get it.
'Let-me-go!' She demanded, wiggling and drumming her fists on his back. 'I was only gonna kill the table!'
'Then why were you aiming for Leo's legs?'
'He got in the way!' From above deck, they heard Leo calling his thanks down to Percy. Frank looked to Annabeth. She hadn't even looked up from her soup, blowing gently on a spoonful.
'I know you're going to tell me I'll get used to it,' he said, 'but how long does that take?'
'Depends on exposure.' She replied simply. There was a crash somewhere down the hall. Louisa cackled victoriously and rushed past, thankfully axe-less. Percy returned, throwing his hands up as Frank looked at him questioningly.
'I don't get paid enough for this.' He said, plonking back down in his seat. He tore at a slice of bread, absent-mindedly dipping it in Annabeth's soup, munching on it distractedly. 'I'm going to have a stern word with my mother when we get back. I feel like I should have had some warning.' He dipped his bread in her soup again. Annabeth looked at him, but he hadn't noticed yet.
'Um, Percy?' Frank smiled nervously.
'Mm?'
'How about a warning to leave your girlfriend's lunch alone?' Percy started. He dropped the last of his bread. Straight into her soup.
'Love you.' He squeaked. Annabeth continued to stare at him, slowly moving her bowl away and guarding it with her arm. She didn't relent until Percy went back to eating his own food, but he was oddly contrite after that.
Leo's voice crackled over the intercom.
'Good news and bad news.' He said. 'The good news is we'll be at Sparta in about ten minutes. The bad news…' He hummed dubiously. 'I think Lou just pissed off a bunch of venti. So, uh, Jason, my main man, would you be so kind, please and thank you?'
'Your sister is a delinquent.' Annabeth remarked.
'Yep.' Percy nodded. Annabeth pushed her bowl away and stood.
'Well, I'm going to go and find Piper. You may want to consider finding a new sister.'
'Way ahead of you.'
'I heard that!' Louisa appeared in the doorway. She held both hands up, aiming a certain gesture at her brother and Annabeth. 'N' I didn't piss off any venti. They pissed me off.' And with that, she was gone. Frank whistled lowly.
'Yeeeah, she's not right in the head.'
'What was your first clue?'
Piper regretted telling Percy about her dream. The giants had gathered in the Acropolis. They were going to spill demigod blood in the Pantheon. When she finished, the ship's toilets exploded.
'No way are you two going down there alone.' Percy defied. Leo ran past, waving a wrench. He stopped upon seeing Percy.
'You're telling me it wasn't Lou?' Percy ignored him. Water ran down the gangway. Louisa splashed her way through, thumping Leo on the arm in greeting as she passed. The hull rumbled as more pipes burst and sinks overflowed. Leo looked ready to tear his hair out. 'Not the plumbing, stop destroying the plumbing!'
'Oy, fuckface.' Louisa stood on her toes to poke her brother in the head. 'What's happened?' Piper pressed her lips together. She figured Percy hadn't meant to cause so much damage, but his glowering expression made her want to jump ship.
'We'll be alright. Piper saw us going down there, so that's what needs to happen.'
'Um, hello, is anyone gonna fill me in or do I have ta start drownin' ya'll in potty water?'
'No, no drowning.' Annabeth smacked Louisa's hand down and explained. Percy folded his arms over his chest, still glaring at Piper. Leo was clattering about, declaring a victorious 'Aha!' once he had switched the water off. 'And there's a giant that can kill the Fates.'
'Ugh, that sounds so nice right about now.' Percy's glare shifted to her. Annabeth glared too. Piper stared incredulously. 'What?' Louisa hunched her shoulders. Even Leo ducked his back out the door to shake his head at her. 'Fuck off, Valdez.' He grinned and disappeared. 'Again, what?'
'Uh, end of the world?' Percy prompted.
'Destruction of all humankind.' Annabeth added.
'We lose.' Piper finished. Louisa looked from one to the other without moving her head.
'Did… sarcasm miss you people or somethin'? At least I'm not the reason we're standin' in literal shit.'
'It's not literal shit.' Percy grumbled. Louisa looked at him expectantly and he sighed. 'It's water, I'll sort it.'
'Ya better. Leo's gonna throw somethin' at ya head 'n' I ain't gonna stop him.'
'Thanks, Lou!' Leo called cheerily from the next room. Percy frowned in the direction of his voice.
'Anyway,' Percy sighed, 'who's this Mimas dude? Another giant?'
'I guess so,' Piper shrugged, 'Porphyrion called him our brother.'
'And a bronze statue surrounded by fire.' Percy said. 'And those… other things you mentioned. Mackies?'
'Makhai.' Piper corrected. 'I think the word means 'battle' in Greek, but I don't know how that applies exactly.'
'That's my point!' Percy exasperated. 'We don't know what's down there, I'm going with you.'
'No.' Annabeth put a hand on his arm. 'If the giants want our blood, the last thing we need is a boy and a girl going down there together. Remember? For their big sacrifice?'
'Well, I'll get Jason-'
'Nah, he ain't allowed nowhere.'
'Frank then.' Percy corrected. 'And we'll go.'
'Seaweed Brain, are you implying that two boys can handle this better than two girls?'
'Oh snap.' Louisa laughed. 'She's got ya there, bro.' Percy glowered at her. Annabeth kissed him, ignoring Louisa's usual resultant mock-barf.
'We'll be back before you know it.' She promised. Piper followed her upstairs, looking back over her shoulder at Louisa. Louisa simply waved her on.
'You've got some cleanin' up ta do.' She told her brother.
'I know.' He muttered. 'I know.'
They spent almost an hour helping Leo clear the water and reset the plumbing. Percy was sullen the entire time. His scowl stopped Leo from making jokes. Well, jokes that he could hear, anyway. Louisa caught the brunt of his toilet humour, but he always seemed to dash off for something when Percy got within earshot.
Leo didn't let them leave until he was happy everything was back in working order and dry. He cheekily waved his wrench at Percy and put him under strict instructions of no more floods for the rest of the day. Percy stared at him, but whatever he was going to say was cut short.
'He'll be good.' Louisa said. 'Can't say the same about me though.'
'Oh,' Leo rested his wrench on his shoulder, his other hand on his hip, 'I wouldn't expect anything less of you.' He shone a lopsided smile at her. Louisa made a face and flicked him. Percy turned and walked off in the directions of the cabins. Leo lowered his wrench. 'Is he… OK?'
'Eh.' Louisa grimaced. 'He don't like Annabeth goin' too far. He's, uh,' she rubbed at the back of her neck, 'he ain't been havin' easy nights. Nightmares 'n' shit.' She sighed. 'Annabeth ain't been much better, but she don't obliterate plumbin'.'
'I bet she could.'
'Oh, for sure. Anyhoo, I'm gonna go 'n' keep an eye on him. Give us a shout if ya need anythin'.' Leo nodded his thanks, casting his eyes about in case he had missed any leaks.
Louisa found Percy on his bunk. He had set the pillows against the headboard and was reclining, staring at the foot of his bed. Louisa did what all kind and caring sisters do- she sat on his shins. 'Sup.' She grinned when he jolted. It took him a moment to place her, sighing when he did. His shoulders slumped with relief.
'Get off.'
'Nah.'
'Lou?'
'Mm?'
'You're an ass.'
'Yeah, I know. You ain't comfortable.'
'I'm very sorry to disappoint.'
'So it seems.' She wiggled back, sitting on his bed with her back to the wall with her legs over her previous sitting spot. She crossed her legs at the ankles, folded her hands on her stomach and looked at him.
'What?' He said.
'What?' She repeated, smiling simply when he rolled his eyes. He stayed quiet. Louisa didn't move, other than jiggling her leg or drumming her fingers on her thighs, her arms, the backs of her hands. She became fidgety quicker than he did. She eventually used a bit of water to pick up her pack of markers from the floor, whisking them into her hand. She shifted round, until she sat facing him, parallel to him, and began drawing on the walls. Percy watched her without actually taking in what she was drawing. At some point, she held a blue marker out to him. He took it on reflex and began drawing his end of the wall too.
As they drew, he began to talk. He told her everything, about Tartarus. Some of it she knew already, either from what she had experienced, his recent nightmares or bits he had mentioned so far anyway. But this time, he went into greater detail. He described the terrain, the atmosphere. The monsters. The fire they had to drink. About Bob. Small Bob. Damasen. He described the manifestation of Tartarus himself. He left his tale of Misery until last.
While he spoke, his tone had been flat and detached. Almost as if he wanted to get everything off his mind without admitting to himself that it was his mind he was trying to clear. His tone changed when he asked her: 'Have you ever done anything like that?' He asked quietly. She glanced at him sidelong. His hands shook. Tears fell unchecked. 'Controlled something that wasn't water?' She looked at his drawings. Terrible, sloppy, smudged, but she could see what they were. While she had been drawing birds or sea creature or Festus or their friends or Reyna, he had been drawing Tartarus. She saw two faces, Bob and Damasen, she guessed. A cat- Small Bob. Saw the Doors of Death. 'Lou?'
'Yes.' She said stiffly. She offered no elaboration. Percy's fingers trembled as they hovered over a drawing of a hut.
'I don't like Annabeth going.' He said. 'I need to know she's OK, but I can't do that… I can't do that if she's not here.' He started drawing again, whisking the pen back and forth in wild long lines that overlapped each other repeatedly. 'When Piper said about the giant that could destroy the Fates… I… I- A part of me was thinking the same as you. That would be nice.' Lines began branching off his scribbling, taking the shape of some wicked landscape. 'I- I know it's bad. I know.' He nodded, seemingly to convince himself more than her. 'But… is it so bad to just want a normal life?'
'After all the shit you guys have been through?' Louisa shook her head. 'Nah. I'd be the same.' Her eyes fell on her drawing of Leo, boss-eyed and sticking his tongue out. 'I'd personally like ta slap the Fates anyway.' From the corner of her eye, she saw him nod in agreement. 'But it ain't the right thing ta do.'
'Yeah.' He sighed. They were silent for almost a minute. He added mounds onto his landscape, ones with silhouettes curled up inside. He moved his arm and Louisa saw a small drawing of a frail woman, virtually a stick person, with scraggly lines for hair and holding a solid blue disc in her lap.
'Water is pretty much everywhere.' She said. 'It's ours. But we've got more than that, remember?' She looked at him, watching the side of his face carefully. 'Dad's the gods of earthquakes. Storms. Hurricanes. Horses, he made horses, remember?'
'I can make my own hurricane.' Percy said vaguely.
'I know.'
'And I… did cause an earthquake once.' He paused. 'Which blew up a volcano.'
'Yeah, I heard. Ya woke up some big bad Titan dude 'n' disappeared. Like the dickhead you are.'
'That wasn't planned.' He defied softly. 'Bitchface.' He added.
'Not by us, no.'
'I don't like my powers.' He said. 'People get hurt.'
'I know.' Louisa sighed. 'I can help ya control 'em better. But… a lot of our power, it… it comes from emotions.' She shot him a sideways smile. 'Like blowing up toilets.'
'I didn't mean to.'
'I know.'
'Leo doesn't like me very much.'
'I don't think anyone appreciates blown up toilets.' She tipped her head to the side, contemplating her drawing and chewing on the end of her pen. Percy had started on a lower section of wall. Louisa saw another face coming into being. She eventually recognised it as their mother and smiled. 'Feelin' better?' She asked. He wiped the back of his hand on his face.
How Does Percy Do So Much Dmg Lyrics
'I feel… less confused? But I don't… I don't think… Tartarus might sit with me for a while.'
'Could be worse.'
'How?'
'Octavian.'
'Oh no, the horror.' He did his best to look scared, but his heart wasn't fully behind it. He finished his drawing of Sally. 'Do you think they'll be much longer?'
'They'll be fine, Percy.'
'I know, but… I wanted to help.'
'I know, that's your thing. But they will be OK.'
'What makes you so sure?'
'Cos I'll kick the shit out of 'em if they ain't.' He blinked at her, eventually- finally- smiling.
'Aww, ever supportive.' Louisa capped her marker and bounced it off his head. 'Rude.'
'Wanna spar?' She asked. He took a few attempts to put the lid back on his marker. It would have been easier had he peeled his eyes away from his drawings, but he got there in the end. She nudged his thigh with her knee. 'Oy, wanna spar?'
'OK.'
'I'm winnin'.'
'Uh, no, I won last time.'
'You threw Jell-O at me 'n' I nearly broke my neck slippin' on it. That don't count.'
'Only counts when you do it?'
'Duh.'
