AN: Hey, guys. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just finished my first year of college and am finally home again. You know the whole disclaimer drill, so I won't bore you with it on another chapter. As always I appreciate you guys more than you know. So please read, review and enjoy.

Jason looked around at the hospital room they were sitting in. It had been a week and a half since Percy had his last doctor's appointment. Annabeth had been avoiding him and Percy the whole time, not even making eye contact at the head counselor meetings. So far she hadn't told anyone about what they had done when they left the camp, but Jason didn't trust her not to go rant to someone about it sooner or later.

He glanced at Percy sleeping in the hospital bed, they had just brought him back from his second MRI. Jason had only seen him go through it twice and already he knew that he couldn't stand seeing Percy like this. Watching him panic even before they told him that he would need another one. As soon as they got onto the hospital campus Percy had tensed up, his hands tightened into fists which he slid into his pockets to hide from view. He got jumped at every noise, as if it could be a monster around the corner waiting to attack him.

Percy groaned, beginning to wake up. Jason slid his phone into his pocket and focused his attention on the Sea Prince. "Hey Perce, how are you feeling?" He asked moving into the other demigod's line of sight.

Percy looked around still disoriented. "Jason?" He asked quietly, his eyes slowly focusing on the blonde demigod. He's began to sit up his mind slowly clearing so that he could focus. "Please tell me that they said we could leave now." He murmured the tone of his voice nearly begging.

Jason nodded and pressed the call button, "They said to call for a nurse or the doctor when you woke up so they could check you over before you were discharged."

Percy nodded and sat the bed up with the remote. "Good, I want to go back to camp." He said, heaving out a sigh as a doctor knocked on the glass panel next to the door to the room. "Come on in." He called, watching as the doctor slipped into the room.

"How are you feeling?" He asked stopping the flow of the I.V. medications and glanced at the monitors around the bed. A frown marred his face as he took in the uneven heart rate that was telegraphed across the screen.

"Its normal, they should have it marked in my medical files."

"Yes, of course. It's just, it's one thing to read about your arrhythmia, it's another thing completely to watch your heart actually skip beats and to only contract partially."

Jason frowned glancing at Percy then the monitors, "Is that a problem?"

"No, not really. It's still doing its job and his pulse ox is still within normal ranges." The doctor answered as he took the I.V. line out of Percy's arm. "Once you feel up to it you can go. I'll have the discharge papers sitting at the nurse's station for you. Take as long as you need. We will call you once the radiologist has had a chance to go over your scans." He takes the monitor leads off before nodding to both Percy and Jason as he stepped out of the room.

Jason turned his attention to percy who was in the process of swinging his legs off the bed. "You never told me it affected your heart rate." He said, anger and worry lacing his voice.

"It never came up. I'm fine. It's nothing serious, they would have done something about it if it was." He sighs, "You don't need to worry about it." He says taking off the scrub-like hospital clothes and pulling his T-shirt back over his head." Look, he shouldn't have said anything. Can we just go home? I still want to sleep and I won't be able to in the car."

The blonde frowned but stood up, grabbing the keys to the car as he did. "Yeah, let's go, but don't think that this conversation is over." He said as he walked out of the room with Percy, staying close after having seen Percy almost fall the last time he had left the hospital.

"Jason, I'm fine. Seriously dude stop worrying so much. You're gonna get gray hairs." Percy said as he signed the stack of papers at the desk. His normally quick and sloppy signature worse than normal as his hands shook.

Jason took a deep breath and did his best to wipe the worried look off his face, only partially succeeding. He merely nodded as he followed Percy out of the hospital and down to the parking lots. He coughed pointedly as Percy habitually walked to the driver side. "You are not driving Percy. You can barely keep your head up."

Percy frowned but walked to the other side. "Yeah yeah, I know I'm not allowed to drive." He mutters. The doctors had made that very clear the last time they had come. Jason hadn't even let him drive there today since he saw how worked up he had been.

They both climbed into the car and Jason started the engine, easily pulling out of the soot and navigating his way back onto the highway that would take the teens back to Camp Halfblood.
