I sighed and tapped my foot more rapidly as the line in front of me came to a complete stand still. Of course the rest of the trainees were all too lazy to go out and pick up their own Chinese food! I just barely resisted the urge to face palm as the Chinese man behind the counter threw his hands up in the air and yelled something in Chinese to the agitated customer eyeing his food sack suspiciously.

I rolled my eyes and began to study the others waiting in line ahead of me.

There was the over loaded mom wrangling in two toddlers and one teenage girl pawing at the screen of her iPhone. A man with a bowling ball sized potbelly shifted positions and let his eyes wander to the pretty woman in front of him. I shivered and shifted to look at the teen in front of me.

Every time he moved, his curly black hair moved with him. He was fidgeting a lot, an abnormal amount. I was about to look away when I saw a burst of orange flame flicker on his hand.

I froze and impulsively tapped him on the shoulder.

He turned around, his brown eyes confused. "May I help you?"

"Uh, yeah…. You- you're on fire." I stated lamely pointing to his hand.

We both looked down but now the flame had disappeared and he looked back up. "Ah, yeah I get that a lot but you're not really my type…"

"No! You were literally on fire!"

"Look man, I really don't know what you're talking about, but I'm fine. See?" he waved his previously flaming hand in front of my face.

"I-"I was cut off by an angry Chinese man pointing at the boy in front of me and asking for his order. I looked around confused. The line seemed to have dispersed and the argument between the Chinese man and his customer broken up.

Fire boy left with three bags full of takeout giving me a wink and a flicker of fire before disappearing into the streets of Manhattan.

I left hurriedly myself with four bags of takeout wondering if I would be able to tail him and if I actually wanted to.

"Last time I go to Manhattan for Chinese food." I grumbled.

The minute I knew I was out of sight of the Chinese restaurant I took off into a sprint. I veered off left and into a snack store. I shoved some money and the cashier, balancing my take out and wallet and still managing to scoop up a water bottle.

Who says men can't multi-task?

I disappeared into an alley and dumped my takeout bags on the ground and hastily made and iris message. The faces of every single one of the head counsels in Camp Half-blood, and our roman friends, sizzled into focus.

Annebeth was the first to notice me.

"Leo? What the hades?" Every head turned to face me as they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around our old beat up ping pong table.

"Guys, you'll never guess what just happened to me!"

"A girl finally agreed to go out with you?" Jason piped up sarcastically.

"I frowned, "no, -"

"Is this about our Chinese food?" asked Travis.

"No, no I've got that right here. I just-"

"Then what is it Leo?" asked piper.

"Well, "I snapped. "If you all would stop cutting me off I would explain what happened!"

They all quieted and I, finally, continued. "I think I just found a new demigod! And he was about 16 or 17!"

"What? How is that possible?"

"Monsters should have sniffed him out a long time ago!"

"He should've been claimed a long time ago!"

"Guys, there's more. I… I think he's a kid of one of the big three!"

Chaos. Complete and udder chaos erupted from my fellow demigods.

"I might have a brother… or another cousin?" Percy yelled.

"Uh, I was getting the Zeus/ Jupiter vibe from him…"

I guess the noise from the conference room grew so loud that Chiron finally had to poke his head in.

"What in the name of the gods is going on in here?" Every one began to explain at once until I interrupted.

"Guys, I need to go, so I will explain this all when I get back!" I swiped my hand through the iris message and began my journey back to camp HB.

By the time I got home the takeout was stone cold and the fortune cookies were half crushed. But I didn't care. I threw it all on the table and began my explanation again for Chiron, and, surprisingly, Mr. D.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm positive. Annebeth, why don't you go get Malcolm. He can hack the security cameras at Ling Ming's Chinese Cuisine restaurant."

She nodded her head and dashed out of the room, so desperate for answers that she even took orders from me.

By the time Malcolm had hacked their security system and hooked up a projector to his lap top we had all taken seats around the ping pong table and had gossiped about literally every situation we could fathom for the sudden appearance of this new demigod. Malcolm searched through the security camera feeds and selected the right one.

On the tape I saw the mysterious boy tapping his foot, annoyed. I saw him glance around until he noticed the fire sparking on my hands.

"I was hungry okay…" I muttered in response to everyone's accusing looks.

I saw our conversation and then witnessed myself walk out dragging my takeout with me. the boy stepped up and Malcolm managed to enhance the sound and zoom in.

"Yeah, I've got an order under Kane, should say Carter Kane." The man handed him four bags of food and he walked quickly out the door disappearing in the opposite direction as me.

"Hm, it looks like he was headed towards Brooklyn. Don't we have some demigods that go to school there?" commented Katie of Demeter.

"Yeah," Piper confirmed. "Lacy and Drew go to this place called BAG Academy."

Everyone began discussing the situation at once. Chiron quieted everyone down and turned to Mr. D.

"There's no question that boy's a Demigod. We need to send someone after him immediately."

Mr. D nodded solemnly in agreement. "The little brat's going to get himself killed!"

"What? What do you mean? What's so dangerous about Brooklyn?" Frank asked, completely confused.

"Children, I need you to listen carefully. You have recently found out about the existence of each other. Greeks and Romans, living together yet completely separate. But yet there are many things you do not know. Other gods exist other than Romans and Greeks. The Egyptians are alive. they are a civilization more ancient than either Greeks or Romans. They are considered highly dangerous! Yet we do not know how powerful they are! If this unclaimed Demigod is found out by the Egyptians he will surely be captured, tortured, and killed for information he knows nothing of!"

No one said a word. We were all to shocked to even utter a peep.

Chiron continued, not fazed by our utter silence. "That's why were are sending The Seven, including Nico Di Angelo, out to Brooklyn to rescue this Demigod and bring him back to camp! It is also critical that if you find monsters that are not Roman or Greek, avoid them at all costs. And if you find that there are any siblings of Carter Kane, bring them as well."

"Oh, and Malcolm, I'll need you to do a search on Carter Kane and dig up any information you can in him, and do it quick. no go, all of you, and don't say one word to anyone that is not in this room!"
