Stepping of the ArgoII and seeing a beautiful girl started Leo's day of pretty well. Besides the fact that 200 other Romans with raised weapons were behind her, ready for attack at a seconds notice. Leo flashed a winning smile at her and she rolled her eyes. Oh a girl that likes hard to get. Well two can play that game. Jason gave him "the look" and pushed in front of him. Leo almost swore he saw a flicker in the dark haired girls eyes. "Welcome Greeks. Welcome Romans." She nodded at Hazel and Frank who returned the glance. She didn't even blink at Jason. Piper walked up and took his hand. Reyna did everything but show she noticed. But Leo knew she did, he could see right through this girl. She was like him...but un like him. Whatever. Percy stepped forward. "Annabeth." She ran to him and kicked him in the shin. "Ow what was that fo-" he was cut off my a kiss. "Don't you ever leave me again seaweed brain. 8 months!" He grinned. Reyna looked on with approval. But Leo saw the hurt and pain under that. She was almost cringing at it inside. Annabeth looked at Reyna. "I am sorry. I am Annabeth, daughter of Athena, Minerva to you." "Piper." Reyna turned to the cherokee girl. "Daughter of Aphrodite...Venus to you." Her eyes flickered Brown, to hazel, to blue, to green. "Leo Valdez." Leo put on his if-i-dont-do-this-im-gonna-get-killed face. "Son of Hephaestus, Vulcan to you." The other 6 looked at him. What? Couldn't he be serious sometimes? "Hazel Levesque. Daughter of Pluto." "Frank Zhang, Son of Mars." Jason was about to introduce himself when Reyna interrupted. "We all know who you are, Jason son of Jupiter." she seemed to emphizise Jupiter, as if she wanted to seperate him from the Greeks. Jason nodded. Memories flooded back to Reyna's mind as she noticed the scar on his lip, the SPQR tatto and electric blue eyes. Reyna had Gwen show them around as Reyna made her way back to her cabin. He is not anything more than a friend Reyna. you don't need anyone to love you, you're a daughter of-her thoughts were cut off my a voice. "Reyna?" she looked up to see the Cherokee girl and the Latino boy. The girl spoke. "Um...where are we staying?" Reyna silently facepalmed. "Cohort 5." she nodded and left but Leo stayed and grinned. "Yes?"

"You."

"What about me?" Leo smiled.

"Regina" (translation at bottom, its latin)

"Regina vestra? Aut non sum regina, Valdez."

"Nunc." Reyna rolled her eyes, but her inside was about as still as popping popcorn.

"Reyna.." leo sighed. "I know what you feel like..i can see right through you."

"Yeah right."

"You like Jason. you did when he left and would'nt stop looking for him, so when he comesa back with Piper you are crushed inside and out, but you are a praetor and a daughter of Bellona, so naturally you have to hide all your feelings and cover up everything that might lead to weakness. You dislike Piper, but you have to keep it cool cause Jason is dating her so if you don't like her, Jason might not like you." He grinned as she stuttered for words.

"how...how do you..." Leo sighed and mumbled softly. "Trust me...i've had experience." Reyna's eyes softened.

"I understand now." he nodded sadly, and took a step closer to her.

"damnit Reyna, why are you so hot?" The daughter of war grinned.

"You're the one who's hot here." and kissed him. as she did so, Leo fought the urge to set his whole body on fire, though he was almost sure his internal was. He grabbed her waist and brought her closer to him and kissed her back.

"Reyna, please go out with me." She did'nt even blink.

"Why not?" and pulled him back into a kiss.
