Percy layed in the rubble of his old apartment building, staring at the sky with blank eyes. He had awoken a while ago, unable to see the bodies of his mom or Gabe. Though that might be a good thing. If he saw his mom's body he would definitely lose it after everything that has happened recently. First, he lost all of his friends and family to the same person, all in the same day. Then he wakes up in a different body only to witness his mom be murdered by one of the people he absolutely hates.
He doesn't know what would happen if he saw his mother's body. But it definitely wouldn't be good. At this point he doesn't even have anymore tears to shed.
"HEY! THERE'S SOMEONE OVER HERE!" Percy realized that he probably is the someone the voice was yelling about. He also realized that he doesn't care.
"HEY KID!" Now Percy knows they are definitely talking about him. He still doesn't care.
"OVER HERE KID!" Whoever is yelling, Percy realized, is very persistent and they probably aren't going to give up anytime soon. He forcefully dragged himself from his despair and stood up to face the man with a sigh. He looked at the man, a nameless police officer, and Percy couldn't bring himself to care about what he looked like.
The officer finally reached him and kneeled so he could be face to face with Percy. "Hey kid, are you okay?" A nod was his response. "Did you live here?" Another nod. "Do you know what happened here?" Nod.
Joe, Percy decided to call the officer that, was getting tired of the non-verbal answers and Percy could tell by the sigh he released. "Can you tell me what happened here?" Nod. There was an uncomfortable silence. Another sigh. Percy knows that this is unfair to Joe, but he can't help it. He doesn't want to talk.
"Will you tell me what happened? C'mon kid work with me a little bit. I don't want to be here and I'm sure you don't either. So please just work with me." Joe has a good point. The quicker Percy cooperates the quicker he can leave. Although Percy doesn't want to talk he also doesn't want to be here either. So with a sigh Percy spoke.
"It was my step-father, h-he had a bomb... he killed my mom" Most of that wasn't true of course, but they had no way to disprove his claims so he would be good with that story. Hell, he couldn't tell them the truth even if he wanted to. Percy doesn't remember what happened after Gabe stabbed his mom, there was only a flash of light before everything went black. But Percy knows he was probably the cause of whatever happened. He was the most likely cause of whatever happened as he was the only one in there with powers.
Joe's eyes widened, before he cursed under his breath and quickly wrote something down in a notebook he pulled from his breast pocket. He looked back at Percy with saddened eyes and spoke. "Well kid, do you have any family members that you can go to?" Percy shook his head no. He doesn't have any family on his mom's side as far as he knows, and he isn't about to go to any on his dad's side because they most likely won't help him anyways. The officer grimaced.
"What's going to happen to me?" Percy asked. He honestly doesn't really care what happened to him, but he should probably stick to the role of a scared kid, to avoid any kind of suspicion.
Joe looked at him with pity filled eyes. "Well kid, you're going to be put in foster care." Percy's eyes widened marginally.
Well shit.
