ANGER: PERCY JACKSON STYLE

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson.

It was nightmarish, watching that arrogant son of Ares and regrettably, a new camper, push all the buttons of Percy's anger, right near the beach too. There were very few who had actually seen the mighty Percy Jackson get angry.

"Come ON, Annabeth! It couldn't be that bad." Leo Valdez, moron extraordinaire, whined.

"What couldn't?" Piper asked, entering the scene along with Jason.

"Percy's so called anger", Leo rolled his eyes.

Jason frowned. "It's impossible to get that guy angry, and when he is, he cools down after some time."

"None of you have actually even seen him angry! Don't be so judgemental." Annabeth glared at them. "I have seen Percy angry. It isn't a sight you would want to see."

Piper, Jason and Leo exchanged glances and were about to speak when they were interrupted by another group of the seniors of Camp Half Blood.

"What do you punks think you're doing here?" Clarisse la Rue grumbled.

"Clarisse, you charming lady! Ever so polite." Leo teased and a glare from her shut him up.

"Percy is getting really angry!" Annabeth had started to look panicked, which was a first for Jason, Piper and Leo. The trio started to wonder if Annabeth could be really serious, because Clarisse's eyes had widened and she had muttered a 'Shit.'

"Why is he getting angry?" She questioned. Her yelling cabin mate standing a few meters away gave her the answer.

"Oh please! You are just an arrogant prick who doesn't give a damn about those who died because of you!" a shout came from the seaside.

Annabeth cursed as the group turned to the seaside.

JASON

It was difficult for Jason to picture the sarcastic, fun loving son of Poseidon angry. After what followed through this ordeal, he would never have trouble.

After the newbie demigod, whose name was apparently Carl, had shouted, "Oh please! You are just an arrogant prick who doesn't give a damn about those who died because of you! Good riddance on them, I say! Trusting you of all people! Your girlfriend is going to get killed next, and it'll be your fault!"

Now that would snap Percy's lid. Percy was nothing if not loyal to his friends, and Jason knew from Annabeth that he carried the weight of his fellow demigods' deaths. He more than just gave a damn, as the huge ignoramus of a demigod lashed out at Percy's dead friends.

And insulting Annabeth and Percy's relationship? Oh gods, the boy was so in for it.

Jason learnt just why the 'bad guys', meaning the monsters and evil forces, and even the Gods, all feared Percy so much. All these quests had shown the reason for respect and trust but Percy wasn't ruthless.

Percy's clear sea green eyes had darkened to a dark green, stormy enough to rival even those of Annabeth's. His lips were pressed into a thin line. Apart from that, he looked calm and stoic, something that terrified Jason even more, because Percy was anything but stoic. He was a laid back guy.

Annabeth's panicked look confirmed Jason's suspicions, because Annabeth was always cool and calm with solutions to every problem. And she knew Percy like the back of her hand. And Jason suddenly felt very, very wary.

Suddenly, his musings were cut short when something started feeling off. Jason had learned to trust his instincts, and apparently so had the others.

"What the-" Clarisse's exclamation was cut short when they felt it. The ground was vibrating lightly. Piper's cry of alarm made him look at where her gaze was focused and his eyes widened. The sky was darkening and the usually gentle waves of the beach looked rather violent.

"Percy, oh gods", Annabeth muttered and it was then that it struck Jason that this was Percy's doing, quite possibly suconsciously. Jason felt rather dumb. Of course. Percy was the son of Poseidon, the god of sea, the earth-shaker.

All eyes were trained on the legendary demigod as he smiled. Smiled. And Jason could instantly smell trouble.

"Oh?" One word. That was all Percy said, and the Carl guy already looked extremely wary.

A few moments passed. Percy spoke again. "You're right. Their deaths could have been prevented if I were more careful. Here's where you're wrong. I do give a damn. And, good riddance?" At the last part, his voice dropped to a whisper.

He took a small, threatening step closer to the now scared demigod. "Silena, Beckendorf, Michael, Zoe, Luke dying is good riddance on them?" Carl decided now would be a good time to run, but he seemed unable to, and apparently not just because he was scared shitless, which he was.

"Water. Percy is controlling the water, blood and liquids in general in the boy's body and preventing his legs from moving." Annabeth looked worried.

"This is not good", Travis and Connor Stoll chorused and set off together muttering something about Chiron and Mr D.

And Jason? He was gobsmacked and more than a little scared. The feeling didn't fade when Percy grabbed Carl's wrist and held it up and pressed.

"Percy!" Jason yelled, shaking off his stupor and rushed closer to the scene. And then suddenly, he was unable to take one more step. Thankfully, Percy wasn't controlling Jason's body (That was quite the power!)

He had thrown up a wall of water, and it seemed quite impenetrable, Jason concluded after a failed attempt.

Percy had, meanwhile, started pressing Carl's wrist harder, but the intensity was increasing very slowly. It seemed that he wanted the boy to go through pain.

"Percy, stop it!" Jason yelled but he was cut off when a hand was placed on his shoulder firmly. It was Annabeth, who just slowly shook her head. And Jason understood.

Piper gave a sudden cry and Jason whipped back to his girlfriend who was currently clutching her head. Leo was wide eyed. "Pipes!"

"It's the emotions. Percy's anger and its intensity are taking its toll on her." Annabeth yelled over the howling wind.

"Prissy is going to bust a nut" Clarisse shook her head. And then they heard a snap, followed by crunching sounds. But they were drowned out by the pained cries of the arrogant Ares boy.

After a few moments of pressing, Percy let go, face stone cold emotionless.

And then he vaporized.

What. The. Hades.

Okay, Jason was hallucinating, but the others seemed just as shocked.

The wall of water fell and the group rushed towards the fallen son of Ares.

"Carl, you fucking idiot!" Clarisse growled. "What the Hades was that schist?! I told you when you came here, I told you, to stay clear off Jackson! Saying moronic shit like that? What were you thinking?!"

"Clearly he wasn't." Annabeth deadpanned and just shrugged, not looking in the least concerned about the now crying boy.

Gallops could suddenly be heard. Chiron appeared, looking troubled. The demigods made way for him.

"Up you get, kid", he gently lifted Carl and several curses flew when they could get a glimpse of his wrist. It was misshaped and limp.

"Oh dear," Chiron winced. "It seems not only did Percy snap his wrist, but he crushed the bone."

And then suddenly it was over. Jason was shell-shocked.

"How did he disappear?" Leo asked quietly, very unlike himself.

"Mist travel. Quite like shadow travel, except with water vapour instead of shadows." Annabeth said.

"Holy shit." The Stoll twins chorused.

"Carl's fault", Clarisse snarled. "I should've known he would do that. He thought he's the strongest one around and whom does he decide to challenge to test that theory? The real strongest one around."

Jason blinked. If Clarisse actually admitted it aloud, he knew she was definitely shaken up. Sure, he felt a little hurt that he wasn't the strongest one around. Not being the strongest was somewhat foreign to him. But was it his fault he was the son of Jupiter and the camp respected Jupiter most?

But he didn't hold it against Clarisse. After seeing that little display, no one would. And as it seemed, Percy was using only a fraction of his powers.

"Hey Jason," Leo called out to him.

"Yeah?"

"Next time I think about pissing Percy off, please knock me unconscious."

"...will do, bro."

So, like the Stolls stated:

Holy shit.

So that's that peeps! Please review and let me know how you feel about this :)
