Some characters might be able to talk him through it. By using soothing words and reminding him that he's not alone, they can help Percy regain control.
Annabeth would be a likely helper. She's very perceptive and has been through a lot with Percy. She would probably be able to sense something was wrong and offer her calm and rational presence to help him through it. Grover could also be there. He's Percy's loyal friend and his empathy for Percy's situation would make him a great support. He might even use his nature - related powers to create a more soothing environment for Percy.
Friends could help Percy by distracting him. For example, they could tell a funny story or joke to take his mind off the panic. They might also encourage him to engage in relaxation techniques, like deep breathing exercises together. If they know what triggers his panic attacks, they could try to shield him from those situations, like if it's a certain person, they could keep that person away from Percy.
His friends can first be there for him. Just sitting with him quietly when he's having a panic attack can be really comforting. They can hold his hand or give him a gentle pat on the back to let him know he's not alone.
JJ would likely be very calm and reassuring. She might start by making sure the reader is in a safe place. For example, if they were in a crowded room, she'd take them to a quieter corner. Then she'd use her soothing voice to talk the reader through it, saying things like 'You're okay, just focus on my voice.'
In a fanfiction, Percy's panic attack can be a way to explore his fears on a deeper level. For example, he may fear that he's not really the hero everyone thinks he is. This panic attack can be a moment of self - reflection. He might question his actions, his decisions, and his very identity. This can lead to a more complex and nuanced understanding of Percy as a character, beyond just his heroic deeds.
Well, it could be due to social pressure. Maybe Percy is being bullied or feels left out by classmates. In school, the fear of not fitting in can be overwhelming.
One possible trigger could be academic pressure. Maybe Percy has a big test or a difficult assignment that he feels unprepared for. Another trigger might be social situations, like being bullied or feeling left out by classmates. It could also be related to a specific location in the school, such as a crowded hallway or a particular classroom where something bad happened before.
To make it interesting, you can focus on the contrast between Percy's world and the Avengers'. For example, Percy's magic from the Greek gods is very different from the technology and superpowers in the Avengers' universe. When a panic attack occurs, this contrast can be highlighted. Maybe Percy's way of dealing with the panic attack is through some ancient Greek ritual, which the Avengers find strange but effective.
First, research about panic attacks. Understand the symptoms, the psychological and physical aspects. Then, develop your characters. For Percy, think about his personality traits and how panic attacks would affect him. You could start with a scene where Percy has his first panic attack in a public place, like a school cafeteria. Describe his feelings, his racing heart, his shortness of breath. For Paul, decide if he's a friend, a family member, or a mentor to Percy and how he'll react.
Obviously, Percy would be the main character as it's about him having a panic attack. His friends like Annabeth and Grover could also be important characters. Annabeth might be the one who tries to use her intelligence to figure out what's wrong with Percy and how to help him. Grover could use his empathetic nature to comfort Percy during the panic attack.
