Collapsing As It Sees The Pain (Percy Jackson)

Requiem

Nico:

I actually slept that night. Meaning the whole night. I didn't wake up from a nightmare or anything.

Paris was a little different of a story, though.

Gabe:

I got there in time for my next shift, four hours later. They kept me on Percy's case. And I'm just making sure his blood pressure, heart beat rate, and all of the continuous stuff is fine. Which it was.

But his sleeping pattern was thrown off. He was awake like five minutes ago. Asleep again. But something fully woke him up.

Curious, I made my way over to Room 309. It was 4 in the morning. He had just about no reason to be awake at the time. Unless he had to use the bathroom. Which still wouldn't be normal. He's 17. Not 71.

Now, I'm not sure as to why I didn't notice it. But I did now.

Nico wasn't Percy's friend. They were, on certain levels, friends. But not the level of being friends, or even good friends. They were more so the "friends with benefits."

I'm assuming Nico is his boyfriend and move on. But it didn't explain why he woke up in the middle of the night.

That's when, walking around, I almost stepped on Percy's son. Patrick, I believe his name is. So I started looking around. Which is when I found Paris on the other side of Percy, sleeping.

It was sweet, let me assure of that. I had a feeling Percy was going to be a great dad. Once he got his problems situated, that was.

There was a man here behind me, too. A visitor, I'm assuming. He seemed familiar. Was in a wheelchair, though. Possibly a vet of sorts. He looked very wise, also.

"Are you here to see Percy?" I asked the man, taking notice of him.

"Just making sure that he's alright." The man assured me. "When did he get here? He was supposed to return for a meeting about an hour ago."

"Last night," I answered, holding the information. "How do you know Percy?"

"He's one of my student campers." The man told me. "What is he here for?"

I handed him the file.

"Read for yourself." I told him. "Maybe you know more than we did or his parents did."

Chiron:

Taking a photo of the file, I wrote down a note for both Percy and Nico before quickly heading out. Zeus won't be happy with me that neither of them came back with myself. But there's only so much one can do.

Arriving upon Olympus, the entire council was there. The gods, the Romans, and the Greeks. We were all waiting on Nico, Percy, and then a Roman demigod. Poseidon was on his way. He hadn't sounded too fond of this meeting. I understand why now.

"Chiron, you've returned!" Zeus remarked, sounding almost impatient. "Where are the other two? Or at least Percy?"

"Neither of them will be attending." I announced. "Percy has been hospitalized and, as of the moment, is not allowed to leave the hospital."

"He's in the hospital?" Of course that began to freak people out. Demigods almost never end up in mortal hospitals. Maybe a visit to the school nurse, or to get stitches. But nothing to this extent.

I nodded my head.

"He was there late last night, apparently." I explained to them. "I wasn't informed to when they'd release him. He was asleep when I got there, but he was breathing, his heart rate was perfectly normal."
