Leo

Leo, son of Hephaestus, was given the most important job on the Argo II...Clean up duty.

"Remind me, why am I, The supreme commander, doing THIS?" To prove his point, he gave the mop a little shake. "Anyone who has the courage to let off a mayonnaise bomb in MY room had better be ready to clean it up", Said Piper, with barely controlled anger in her voice. A few days ago, Leo had gone a little too far on his Prank Business, in which he had let off The Bomb. He was still cleaning it all up. For a Demigod Son of Hephaestus who recently saved the world, Leo didn't feel quite as mighty as he had when he had finished his Quest seven months ago.

Well, actually, he hadn't felt so mighty. He had been throwing up in a brazier. Leo just sighed and continued with his work, deciding to let it drop. Thankfully, salvation soon arrived in the form of Jason calling everyone to a meeting. Everyone had a seat at the "meeting center" that Leo had hastily thrown together out of an umbrella, folding table, a map of the world, and chairs. A plate of nachos sat in the middle, which everyone had the good sense not to touch. It was obvious what the subject was, so Leo hopped strait to it. "So, what's the plan?" said Leo. "We're not seriously gonna just run in there, guns blazing, are we?" Annabeth sighed. "I wish we had time for something more proper, but we arrive in fifteen minutes. All we can do is land and hope they don't shoot us down." Leo looked confused for a moment, then grinned. "Oh I get it. You're kidding. Right?" But Annabeth's expression was deadly serious, with emphasis on the deadly part. Jason shifted uncomfortably and said, "Well if we do get a chance to land, we should be Okay. I have a lot of authority. Even Octavian trusts me a little", Jason said, using the name of the descendant of Apollo he had told them about. Over the months, Jason had regained many memories, but his whole life still remained fractured and incomplete. Leo pitied him. Seriously, the guy didn't remember the day before he had wound up on the bus at Wilderness School. Leo tried to imagine not being able to remember his favorite food. Then he imagined a Goddess so messed up, she would take it from him. "Well, uh…I guess that's all", said Jason awkwardly. "Remember, let me do the talking. They'll kill you if you so much as open your mouth out of turn". Leo glanced away and said "Nice guys, huh?" Jason stared at him for a moment, and then went up to the bridge. Leo sighed and went over to Festus. "Hey, buddy. How're you doing?" said Leo. When no answer came, Leo said "Just hang tight. We're almost there. You remember that guy you tried to eat a couple summers ago? We're going to get him." Still no response. Leo started to walk away when suddenly the ship lurched, nearly taking Leo of his feet. Jason, Piper, and Annabeth all ran over, expecting a fight. Leo put his hands up and said "Guys, it's OK. We're landing". They all gasped. Piper said "But that means…" Leo interrupted her. "Yeah," he said warily. "We're here".

Short for a first chappie, I know, so just hang tight and I'll update as soon as I can figure out how to post a second chapter!(Please comment if you can help.)
