^^^^ Also, Percy has very fast reflexes, this is Canon: an indisputable fact. He doesn't need to "suspect": he's fought against opponents a lot faster than Hazel and has always managed to avoid their attacks, so I'm pretty sure the minute that Hazel tries to take control over his sword, he'll be able to react quickly and think of a proper plan to take her down.

Also, who is to say that the first thing Percy'll do is take out Riptide? Who is to say that he won't decide to pull out his new Bloodbending/Toxikinesis/WhatEverItIs power? I'd like to see Hazel defend against that.
