They try anyways in a desperate attempt to fix things, but now what remains of the Delos group at camp is very cold to them because the group doesn't want to accidentally be brainwashed into joining the evil god they think is controlling the camp.
Yea everyone is just feeling sad and bad and guilty. Percy is a beacon of hope but even so they know it's only because Percy's fatal flaw is loyalty, so it'd be pretty hard for the evil people to take away a fundamental part of him, so they aren't sure they can help the others.
They're all scared. I'd imagine they'd all huddle up together in the cabin for the hunters. Apollo doesn't want to be in his cabin because he doesn't want to occupy space when it's already so crowded, and Percy just doesn't feel safe sleeping alone in a possibly hostile situation. Plus the cabin is technically Artemis' so they know the other gods won't interfere.
Everyone is just trying to see the positive side of things and taking a silver of comfort out of the fact that Apollo and Percy remained together, because they know the two would only split up in extreme situations.
Oooo yesss Apollo is confused and wary. Maybe he's usually very composed even with his lack of sight and learned to move around so easily it looks like he can see, but now with the stress and anxiety of the situation he stumbles more often because he's more stuck in his own head, making his blindness more noticeable. Everyone is immediately worried, especially the sibling group and Ody and Pen. Whenever Apollo hangs around there's always someone with him, at camp it's one of his kids, at Olympus it's one of his siblings, and in the mortal realm it's either Ody or Pen. He's growing tired of the constant vigilance and acting like he's frail. The others just think he's refusing to admit he needs help due to victim-blaming.
They argue that they're twins because they came from the same womb and grew in it together, and the avengers are then extremely horrified that Hydra did something that would lead to a woman being in labour for 9 days. They think it's why they've never met their mother (because the twins take the appearance of children, the avengers expected some kind of caretaker with them), that maybe the woman passed away from such an intense procedure.
OOO, everyone focusing on getting Percy free from the brainwashing because they know they have a chance do to his fatal flaw. They all hope that after they free Percy, he could help them free the others. They might be questioning their able to save the others but they wont give up hope until the exhausted all their option.
What is left of the Delos group sees that everyone's force has shifted to Percy and they think he is being targeted because of his fatal flaw. They think that the big bad saw Percy hesitates to fact as a sign that he is the week link and would be easiest to control. They make sure that Percy is never alone so their is no chance of Percy being dragged off to be brainwashed.
Cabin seven is gutted because their dad is choosing not to stay with them in his own cabin.
Oooo, Apollo having a blow up because their is only so much stress one person can take and everyone acting like he needs help pushes him over the edge. He feels bad about it after words because he knows they are just worried. The others feel bad when the realized how over baring they were, they know that you aren't supposed to force help on people but they just couldn't stand around and do nothing. They thought Apollo needed the help but would never ask for it because of the victim blaming but they now realized that they might have made things worse. The think that them being overbaring will make Apollo even more hesiten to ask for help in the furture.
The avengers now think that the twins were born and raised inside hydra and make mark down any weirdness from the twins to that. They also made a list similar to Steve's to expose everyone to the world outside hyrda
Yea i think it would overwhelm Percy a lot because he got really used to laying low. In his childhood due to smelly Gabe and through his quests due to the dangers, he's just not happy with attention. He just got the camp to stop treating him like a god due to the great prophecies and now everyone is suddenly paying attention to him, it creeps him out.
Yea Apollo just uses the excuse of love to always be with Percy, and when he can't there's always at least two hunters around. The camp is confused and a bit fearful over why the group is isolating themselves.
Cabin 7 spends most of the days bonding with Apollo anyways but it's still not enough. They desperately try to convince Apollo to at least sleep over for a few nights. Apollo just thinks his kids are being clingy because it's not often they get to hang out.
Yea everyone is really stressed and there's so much anxiety, things are going to blow up eventually. They back off after and say sorry, but they're still at Apollo's beck and call since they're still worried about his lack of sight.
I love that. The group would probably genuinely love those trips of sorts. Apollo and Artemis don't hang out in the mortal world often, The Hunters (most of them) are from older times, and Percy never really strayed far from New York due to his mom's fear of monsters. They're genuinely adoring getting to explore the world with protection, so they don't need to watch out for monsters since they think the avengers know about the divine.
100% he isn't having a good time because of already being stress over the new big bad controlling everyone he is the center of attention making everything 10 times worse. Maybe Percy gets so tired of the attention he just drags Apollo to the lake and the two of them spend hours under the water just decompressing and taking a bit of time away from everything to de stress. Apollo doesn't need to breath so he doesn't have to worry about keeping an air bubble. Maybe when he is calmer Percy offers to take the hunters underwater so they could have a chance to destress as well.
ooo, Cabin 7 trying to subtly use their healing powers to find out what is wrong with their father but no one of them are having any luck and they feel bad about not being able to find anything.
Just cabin finally conniving Apollo to spend the night in their cabin and he just falls asleep under a pile of all his children.
If times where different Apollo might have made a few jokes about everyone being at his beck and call but he isn't is the mood.
The trips would be the one time that the group doesn't cause chaos on purpose. They love the trips and know that their is a chance of them not being able to do this kind of thing if they end badly so they are on their best behavior and the avengers a concerned that they messed up some how because the group isn't acting like normal but they aren't too worrid about it because the kids seem to be enjoying themselves and check the weirdness up to anxiety about interacting with the out side world
