Yes I know it took forever. I was writing a different chapter when I was reminded - Thanks Son of Zeus - to write the reaction chapies. So Bob's your uncle, here is Jonathon Hop's reaction. He may sound a little like Draco Malfoy...

Jonathon Hop definitely did not like Percy Jackson or his friends. In fact, he hated them so much that they were always on his mind. He could see them now having lunch laughing at some lame joke probably. Jonathon glanced at his friends. They were all eating and remembering the time they'd pushed the red head into the pool. Good times.

Gabriella came outside followed by her friends. He tried to remember their names but since they only ever mimicked what Gabby said he couldn't really remember.

"Ugh! I look so ugly today!" Gabs said.

"No you don't!" Clone 1 said.

"Thanks but I bet you're just saying that." Gabby put on a forlorn face.

"No she's not! You're so pretty Gabriella." Clone 2 piped up.

"Aw gosh! You guys are so..." She fanned her face and sniffed.

"Yeah don't worry babe, you're smoking'!" Jonathon grinned.

Gabby bit her lip and giggled. Her friends giggled too but his friends started laughing and made kissy noises.

The rest of lunch went by as usual with Gabriella fishing for compliments as well as random glares thrown at Jackson's group.

What the hell was with that dude? He comes to this school and on the first day almost got kicked out. Then he goes missing for a year. Then he just shows up at the half way through the first term. What was with him?!

Besides, the guy acted like he saved the world or something! Like when someone comments to him to him that he quit the swim team (Slacker alert!) for no reason and now he shows no school spirit! He'll give them a look like I've done so much more important things and if I could stay I would. Weirdo. And stuck up! Like that Tucker boy.

Tucker's father worked at the DEC with Jonathon's parents. Actually, Jonathon's parents worked for Tucker's. Still, Tucker was a cowboy throwback who hanged around with loser freaks.

At the end of lunch there was an assembly. Jon's father had told him that some DEC workers were coming to his school today and he hoped to show off his knowledge on demigods and the DEC.

"LINE UP! NO TALKING!" The headmaster boomed from up on the small stage at the head of the huge room.

Teachers were herding kids so that small people were nearer the front. Jonathon didn't care, he pushed his way forward anyway, pushing some kids out of his way he pulled Gabby and the others along.

There was a huge amount of shuffling around and people chatting quietly but eventually everyone was silent.

"Good afternoon Goode students." The head said. "Today we have with us some representatives from the DEC. Do we all know what the DEC is?"

Duh. Who didn't? Jon thought. Jonathon wanted to join so his dad told him to be his in school spy.

"Yes sir." Was the general reply.

"Even so, we have Jonno Pan and Helen McGonan to explain to you what they do, why they do it and why it's important." Head moved out of the way as two people came forward to take his place.

The first was a man, he was tall and robust with a head so shiny. He was wearing a suit but the jacket was too small and the buttons straining to keep him in it. He waddled to the front with a sneer on his face as he looked down on the students before him.

The woman was his opposite. She was small and thin with straggly brown hair. She was smiling at us all but it made her look like a rat as her two front teeth showed and her nose wrinkle. She wore jeans and a T-Shirt that read "We know who the real heroes are."

Jonathon smirked as he read the shirt. People like my father, he thought.

"Ew!" Gabby laughed. "Look at Jackson and his cowboy friend!"

Jonathon glanced around the hall and noticed Jackson was glaring at the woman. Tucker grabbed his arm and his friends were all giving him looks. What was happening?

"Hello Goode students." The woman started. "Now I'm sure you've all heard about the gods and their... offspring by now."

Another murmur of "Yes" and "Duh" went around the room. The woman smiled again looking even more like a rat.

"But who here really knows about them?" She looked around the room expectantly.

Jonathon thought himself an expert on demigods. So he raised his hand. He didn't ever raise his hand in class. He wasn't some goody two shoes, suck up smart arse.

"Yes? You over there!" Helen McGonan said pointing to him.

"Well they're evil right? Bastard kids of the gods. They hate mortals because they're normal so they lure monsters in to hurt them." Jonathon said smirking at his knowledge in the situation.

"Yes!" Helen beamed.

"I'm sure most of you know how to spot one as seen on the posters. I'm just going to go over it again." The she launched into the talk about them being terrible people and here were the reasons why. "You see, they're dyslexic because they're aberrations. Their brains can't handle the fact that humans have evolved past the gods onto something better. Their minds are stuck in ancient times."

"They're troubles some and get kicked out of a lot of schools because they pick fights with people they know are better than them and get jealous. So they attack them or get monsters to instead." She continued.

Jackson was freakin' out. Was he a supporter? No way! Jonathon turned toward his friends excitedly.

"I think Jackson's a supporter! Look at him! His friends probably know which is why they're holding him back! Just wait till I tell my father about this! Ooh! And when I tell him Kastro's kid Tucker is probably a supporter too!" Jonathon grinned in anticipation as his friends contorted their faces in gruesome smiles.

"How do you know all this!?" A kid called out in front of Jon.

Jonathon glared down at the kid and then smirked as the kid cringed as he tried to move away.

"Because we're the DEC. Demigod Experts and Capturers." The man – Jonno – spoke up. His voice was gravely and rather fitting.

"How are you experts?" Someone couldn't help but call out. There were so many kids in the hall that no one would be able to tell who was calling out, Jonathon thought as he tried to find the kid.

"Demigod Experts and Capturers." Helen emphasised. "But we're not taking questions at the moment."

Jonathon sighed at their incompetence. He could've answered these kid's questions easily. Maybe he would tell his father of this...

"What do you do with them when you capture them?" Someone else shouted. Jonathon rolled his eyes. That was pretty obvious even to him.

The two DEC people shared an unsure look. Everyone in the hall was watching them now. Silence. Jonathon grinned in anticipation of their answer.

"We simply get them in and ask them questions in a nice controlled environment." Jonno smiled sickeningly.

Jonathon knew exactly what they did and his mind thought wandered there. He had seen it when his father had taken him to work. His father wanted him to be part of the DEC when Jonathon finished school. Hell, he wanted him to start already.

Helen opened her mouth to say something more when there was a loud crashing as suddenly all the exits had monsters covering them. There were hordes of monsters and at the front was a dracaenae.

Jonathon knew a thing or two about monsters. He'd seen a sort of film thing of clips of demigods being attacked. The scenes would freeze every so often and writing would appear saying what kind of monster it was. It would also try and analyse the powers that were displayed by the half breeds – er bloods.

There was a moment of silence and then the room was filled with screams. The students all ran to one side of the room leaving a huge space in the middle. The teachers bravely stood behind the students except for Mr. Blofis.

Gabriela was screeching her head off beside him.

"Jonny! I'm scared!" She pouted up at him practically begging him to hug her and protect her. But Jonathon had more important things to do.

Jonathon moved backwards and had a shield of other students around him.

The monsters moved toward the stage scaring off the DEC people. One dracaenae picked up a mic and hissed into it, "I can smell you demigod. Come out, come out wherever you are."

There was a demigod here? Jonathon thought desperately. How had he not noticed? Who was it? Jonathon slid out his phone and started filming so that he could show his father.

"If you don't come out we'll be forced to go through every mortal here. Do you want that?" An ugly Cyclops with two strands of hair combed over and a too small loin cloth said taking the mic from the dracaenae.

Jonathon looked at the other pupils. Some were frozen in fear, some were crying and shaking in fear and some were filming on their phones like him. Losers.

The dracaenae on stage growled and sent forward two monsters that moved toward the students nearest them.

Suddenly Jackson threw a bottle of water at them. Was he trying to play the hero? No way! Jackson was such a beg!

The monsters look toward him as he stepped out. "Leave them alone." he said giving them his Mess-with-them-and-I'll-kill-you glare. A few students were moving away from him with shocked expressions. And yes, Jon was very well acquainted with Jackson's glares.

The Cyclops shouted, "Get him!" and the two monsters obeyed. Jackson didn't look fazed as he suddenly had a sword by his side. A few quick slashes and there was nothing left.

Music started in the hall. It was that damn Red Head. The song was I need a Hero from Shrek.

"Oh my gods!" Gabs said peeking under his arm. "Is Jackson a half thingy? No way!" No way was something his group used a lot. Suddenly something clicked inside Jonathon's brain box. Jackson wasn't just a supporter... Bu tone of them. His friends... They knew. That meant.. Tucker! Oh wait till his father heard about this!

It looked as though Jackson was dancing as he fought in time with the music. He killed the monsters easily. In fact the look on his face was more annoyance and anger than fear.

"Who are you?" The dracaenae screeched as he ended up on the stage next to her. He swung at her but she moved faster than he thought she would. She and the Cyclops moved backwards off the stage.

"Get his friends!" She yelled. A few telekhines moved toward the crowd. Jackson cursed in a different language which was shocking as he sucked in French class.

All of a sudden the pipes in the hall exploded and water showered down.

"My hair!" Screeched Gabriela. She frowned as she expected a response but her clones were too busy holding tight to each other and crying to offer any sucking up.

"Oh Iris goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering! Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood!" Jackson called out.

The hall had shocked half scared half awed looks on their faces. Oh yes, the great Percy Jackson, a hero! Jonathon sneered.

"Percy!" Jonathon saw a centaur exclaim.

"One extraction squad please." He smiled casually as a telekhine came toward him. He slashed at it. "Annabeth you know how many I need." He turned around toward the monsters. They were nearing his friends but there was a lot of running around. "It would seem the monsters are working together again. Also we were having a talk from the DEC before the monsters came." He called toward the Iris message and was answered with a lot of booing.

Jonathon really looked at the misty image. There were rows upon rows of teenagers sitting at tables eating. It was sunny and there were rolling green hills and fields behind them. Jonathon's dad could most likely track this...

"Thalia and Nico, wanna come with me?" That blonde asked.

"That was the demigod headquarters!" Helen cried as Percy wiped the scene away.

Way to state the obvious. Stupid bloody mare.

Kids were running around wildly, some were filming everything going on. Thankfully Carrie's music had been turned off at some point. Teachers were also scared.

That damn Jackson made the water hit everyone and drawing focus to him. Attention seeker.

"I am Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon! Defeater of Kronos and Gaia." Gee talk about yourself much? Besides that was obviously a lie. Kronos and Gaia were both, like, dead or whatever it is that happens to monsters. Wait, wasn't Gaia one of the good ones? Jackson really needed to sort out his facts.

Angry cries filled the air as all the monsters went at him.

The shadows seemed to move behind Jonathon. He yelped at leapt to the side as a boy – the boy from the news paper! – appeared out of the shadow. The kid grinned, yawned and then joined Jackson.

"Hey Nico!" Jackson grinned.

"Hey Perce." The dark haired boy grinned back.

"Hey it's the boy from the paper!" Gabby called out.

Jackson called something to the dead lookin' kid - Nico. So he was cohorts with all the demigods out there? Did he know everyone who had been captured? Was that why he became friends with Tucker? So that he could find stuff out about the DEC? Tucker... That traitor!

"I shadow travelled, they're taking the pegasi and you know how they don't like me." He explained. Then he exclaimed something quietly, obviously annoyed.

Jackson replied with something that made the boy roll his eyes.

"Jonny? Jonathon?" Gabs tugged on my arm. "I'm so scared." She pouted up at him.

Jonathon smiled lazily down at her but before he could reply something caught his eye.

Nico had grumbled something and then stabbed the floor with his sword. The terrified student in the corner frowned at him.

What's that going to do? Jonathon wondered. Someone else had voiced the question.

Then a horde of skeletons came from the ground and started attacking the monsters. Nico grinned and laughed like a maniac.

"Ah!" Jonathon yelped. Gabriella made much shriller sound. Jon coughed and tried to cover up the lack of bravado.

There was a crashing sound as a group of pegasi came through the windows.

"Blackjack!" Jackson grinned.

"Hey Seaweed brain, need help?" The blonde bimbo grinned.

"I love you." He laughed gave her a kiss.

"Are you two gonna help at any point?" Whoa! This girl looked seriously weird. The couple broke apart blushing. Nico's skeletons were gone and he looked exhausted, most of the monsters were gone, only the Cyclops and the dracaenae were left.

Jackson smirked and started walking. Kids parted before him like... Like... the red sea for Jesus? Or was it Moses... Either way, kids moved out of his way. Gabby and I both moved back as well. I don't know why, there was just something about him...

Jackson spoke to his group. Tucker, Carrie, Aiden and Aspen all looked at him with similar expressions and then nodded grimly.

I asked for Porkie and the other two pegasi to come over and then got my friends on them.

The goth girl sent an arrow into the Cyclops' eye and Blondie drove her dagger into the dracanae.

They all got on their pegasi when the blonde suddenly headed over to the DEC.

"I am a representative of the demigods of Camp Half-Blood. My name is Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." She said in a strong voice. "We wish to meet with you. We have prepared a presentation to explain to you who we really are and what we really do. Here." She handed the woman a piece of paper. "If you accept to meet with us then let it be known on the news, we will be watching."

Emo boy ran at a wall and disappeared. The demigods were about to leave when Jackson called out. "Paul! Can you tell my mom –"

"I'll tell her. I'm sure she will understand." Mr. Blofis replied.

I turned to Mr. Blofis as the freaks left. Before Mrs. Rodds and some others came over to him I said,

"Wait till my father hears about this."
