A/n:

I liked the plot line and emotions that went with 'Percy bites the Bullet' so I decided to make a sequel, a series of one-shots (not sure how many, could be anything from two or more) about his life afterwards and how he's treated in the mortal world, what the gods/demi-gods think of what he did and so on. I hope you like them and if you have any ideas foe situations/one-shots please please please tell me because, knowing me, I'll run out of ideas after about three. Some of the one-shots may be two parters and the like-sorry. I quite like this idea so I may extend it. (: Enjoy.

Carly (friend of Percy's from Goode) P.O.V

Percy hadn't been to school for a month, it was a month after the terrorist attack so everyone at school just assumed he was in mourning for someone who was killed there. How wrong we were.

-line break-in school corridors-same P.O.V-

I was at my locker, getting my books for my next class, geography, when Mitchel, the school bully came down the hall. He was always busting on Percy trying to make his life hell, and today was evidently not any different.

"I bet Jackson is hiding at home, scared he might get caught in one of those attacks!" His arrogant attitude really annoyed me, how the hell would he know anything about terrorist attacks and the terror of being caught in one, I hoped I, and no-one I will ever know will ever be caught in one. It made me shudder just thinking about it.

"I bet he heard about it and got so scared he ran away." He and his cronies were laughing now, as if it was the funniest joke in the world, I wanted to stand up for Percy, but it wouldn't do any good and I had no idea where he was anyway. Mitchel was opening his mouth to say something else, undoubtedly something bad about Percy when the intercom blared, it was the principal. She sounded upset, "C-could all st-student please go to the hall for an emergency assembly." It sounded like she was almost crying, that was weird.

Teachers came out of the classrooms looking just as confused as we were and herded us to the assembly hall. Where was . Shouldn't he be with the other teachers.

We were pushed into the hall and sat down in home room groups (A/n:sorry I don't know how American schools work, I'm British) and looked to the front of the hall, the principal was there, looking really worried and so was . Mr Blofis looked solemn and kindo sad. What was going on?

"Hello students." Started the principal, "I trust you've all heard about the terrorist attack in the sub-way." Everyone nodded, "Has anyone heard any details?" Everyone shook their heads. "Well, you all know Percy Jackson, he was there. He was caught in it." That set off shouts and question throughout the hall, from students and teachers alike. The principal was trying to quiet everyone down to no avail. Percy. Percy was in the terrorist attack.

"QUIET!" Mr Blofis shouted. Realizing it was Percy's step-dad who shouted everyone shut up fast.

"Th-thank you Mr Blofis." The principal paused, "Now we know you'll all have questions, but we've decided it would be easier to just show you what happened then answer your questions. The entire attack was caught on tape." Then they proceeded to show us the sub-ways security tape from the time of the attack, it was on the news. We saw the armed men come off the train and force everyone to the ground, we saw people being brutally killed for no reason, we saw the woman call the police and put them on speaker phone and then we saw the police starting to come. Then it happened, the police were almost there but they wouldn't have made it in time. The terrorists were about to shoot the woman, we saw a blur of movement, heard two gunshots and saw a teenage boy go down as he jumped in front of the woman, we heard the woman scream, saw the police come in, handcuff the men and crowd around the teen. Then it flashed to a reporter, "A terrorist attack today shocked the nation where 13 people were killed and one seriously injured. A teenage boy, who is 18 years old jumped in front of a young mother who was about to be murdered by the gun-men, he is now in critical condition and the entire nation is praying for him. His name, is Percy Jackson."

Silence.

Silence throughout the hall as everyone processed this information.

I tentatively raised my hand, "W-will Percy be ok?" I was terrified, one of my best friends had been shot. Holy shit Percy! He took a bullet for someone he didn't even know.

"He took one bullet in his left side and in the top of his left leg, he was in critical condition for a week but he is going to survive. He'll be on crutches for a couple of months and he'll be in serious pain because if they give him pain killers it could mess up his wounds. He'll be back in school soon, which is why we're telling you this. Don't treat him too differently, but still be aware with his injuries." And just like that one of my best friends became a hero and school changed a lot.

Then Mitchel spoke up, "I bet he didn't actually do anything and just tripped in front of the woman. He would never be that brave." The arrogant arse got 250 death glares and a teacher who looked like he was going to throttle him for his troubles.

Percy Jackson, the hero.

A/n:

I hope you liked the first update, the next one should be his return to school. I'm not too proud of this one, it wasn't very well written but the next one should be better. Please review and tell me what you think and give me ideas for updates. Thanks for your help.
