Percy woke up when he was thrown out of bed as the ship landed. Turning his head slightly, he saw Jason sitting up, a scowl on his face and rubbing his head.
"Leo could've given us a warning or something," he heard Jason muttering as the blonde demigod picked him up.
As if he had heard him, Leo's amplified voice sounded in the room.
"Good morning demigods! Ship Leo has just landed at port Roman! Please lock your cabins behind you, you never know when a sneaky Roman might sneak into your room! Captain Leo out!"
He looked at Jason, who looked about ready to fry Leo through the speakers and Percy didn't know if that was even possible.
Jason got up, still scowling as he bent down to pick up Percy.
"I'm going to kill him," he muttered into Percy's hair, breathing in his ocean smell.
Percy wanted to answer him, but apparently he had used up all of his energy the other day when he broke up the fight between Jason and Nico. He was back to square one, grunting and almost no physical movement.
Piper thought it was psychological, Percy had heard her whispering it to Jason when they thought he was asleep.
Apparently, Annabeth could already speak, slowly but she was communicating and Piper thought Percy's condition was more self-inflicted than anything else.
Percy's heart had sunk at that, he wanted to communicate with them. He hated being so helpless and not able to do anything for himself or anyone else.
In tartarus he had tried to protect Annabeth the best he could. It was really unfair to think that he was willingly not getting better.
Sometimes he didn't understand Piper, she was nice enough to take care of him when Jason couldn't but sometimes her eyes would flash with pain and he didn't know why. Somehow, he felt responsible for her pain, maybe she was mad that Jason spent most of his time with Percy.
"So Percy, do you want me to carry you or want to see the cool wheelchair Hazel convinced Leo to make?"
Percy stared at Jason, who was smiling down at him, and the blonde boy sighed and gently set Percy down on the wheelchair.
They both jumped, well Jason jumped Percy just painfully bounced in the wheelchair, as the door flew open and in bounded the son of Hephaestus, his face and clothes smudged in grease and his hair smoking slightly but there was that classic impish grin on his face that Percy missed.
"Percy! I've missed you! Well, we've all missed you but sparky over there wouldn't let any of us near you."
Percy wanted to laugh, Leo's attitude was always infectious and right now it was a welcomed distraction from how he'd regressed instead of progressed.
"Well hazel came to me the other day asking if I could build something that could help you with being better and well you're sitting on it right now."
Leo stared at the wheelchair and Percy wanted to glance down to see it because really he hadn't noticed it before Jason set him down on it.
" Well it was a special design that Annabeth helped me with," Leo blushed when he said Annabeth's name and Percy managed to smile slightly because he might be clueless sometimes but he knew what that blushed meant, " it's going to be pulled by little mechanical horses, which let me tell you where not very easy to build, oh and I managed to make it so they can communicate with you and know where you need to go."
The horses neighed softly, and Leo stared at him before Percy realized that he wanted him to try it out.
Tentatively, he started talking to the horse, 'hey guys, umm would you go forward please?'
Slowly, the wheelchair moved forward and Leo grinned even wider.
"That's actually amazing Leo"
Percy grunted in agreement as Leo blushed at the praise.
"Well it wasn't just me I mean Annabeth figured out how to have Percy communicate with the horses that's amazing."
After a moment of just standing in the door awkwardly, Leo moved out of the way.
"Well, let's go talk to some Romans."
