How would Hercules react if he reads Percy Jackson fanfiction?

The idea of Hercules reading Percy Jackson fanfiction is a fascinating one. First of all, he would probably be quite confused at first by all the modern settings and language used in the fanfiction. However, as he reads on, he might start to see the similarities between his own adventures and those of Percy Jackson. He could also gain a new perspective on his own mythology. For instance, he might realize how different generations perceive the same mythological figures. This could lead to him either embracing the new interpretations or feeling a bit protective of the old ways.

The characters' reactions would vary widely. Annabeth would likely be critical of any fanfiction that got the details of her character or her knowledge wrong. She's very intelligent and detail - oriented, so inaccuracies would bother her. On the other hand, if a fanfiction captured her essence well, she might secretly enjoy it. Leo would probably be excited to see all the creative ideas people had in fanfiction, especially if there were cool new inventions or adventures in them.

Percy would feel a deep sense of guilt as well. He might think that he should have been there to protect her. So, he would be determined not only to free her but also to make sure whoever is responsible pays for what they've done. He would use his powers over water to his advantage, like creating distractions or using water to weaken the enemy's defenses while he tries to reach Annabeth.

Percy would probably be very confused at first. He's used to dealing with threats from the world of Greek mythology, not superheroes like the Avengers. But once he realizes he's been kidnapped, he'd likely be angry. He'd try to find a way to escape using his powers, like controlling water to create distractions or even using it to overpower his captors.

His first reaction might be shock. Dragons aren't exactly common in his world, even with all the mythical creatures. But then his hero instincts would kick in. He could try to befriend the dragon, thinking it could be an ally in future battles against the Titans or other enemies. He might offer it some food, like a fish or something, to gain its trust.

His perspective on the modern view of gods might change. He might start to see that there are different ways to perceive the gods he knew so well. In the fanfiction, the gods are often shown with more human - like qualities and flaws, which could be a shock to Hercules who was used to the more 'divine' and somewhat idealized versions in his own time.

He might be surprised. He's used to his own life and adventures, and seeing it twisted and turned in fanfiction could be unexpected.

He might be a mix of flattered and bewildered. Flattered because people care enough to write about him, but bewildered by some of the wild ideas in the fanfiction.

His other friends from Camp Half - Blood would have mixed reactions. Some would be proud of him for wanting to serve and protect in a different way. Others might think he's crazy for leaving the world of demigods and getting involved in mortal military affairs. They know he has a duty to the demigod community, and joining the military could put that in jeopardy. But overall, they would support him because they know Percy always follows his heart and they trust his judgment.

Percy's reaction would be a mix of confusion and fascination. The world of Kratos is so foreign to him, with different rules and a much darker tone. However, he would also be drawn to the hero's journey that Kratos undertakes in the fanfiction, comparing it to his own journey as a demigod.
