That's assuming Percy is standing in the middle of open terrain waiting for Jason to conjure up the winds to launch him. I could easily claim that Percy could instantly draw the moisture from the air around Jason to make a sphere of water around Jason's head and suffocate him. However, we both know that's not going to happen because characters don't wait for enemies to kill them. See, even though you could claim that, Percy has never, to my knowledge, ever shown himself to be capable of "drawing the moisture from the air" - that is you assuming that Percy has certain powers, while I am using powers that Jason is confirmed to have. And it only took Jason about a second to "conjure up" those air currents, so him being successful in implementing that move would not at all require Percy to stand there and wait for it. And if Percy were to attempt to counter with a water-based attack, Jason could respond with an arc of static electricity, thereby electrocuting Percy through his own water.
