Chapter 1-Leo
Leo may have had a track record for screwing things up, but this time it was so not his fault. The last thing he remembered was hitting on one of the girls in the Aphrodite cabin and trying to ignore the thoughts of a certain son of Hades that kept popping up. Now he sat on the sill of a window while Annabeth and Jason tried to figure out what had happened. Leo didn't know what they thought they needed to figure out, he guessed that it was just the Gods messing with them again. How else would the seven (plus Nico) have ended up in someone's living room? Thankfully, the owner of the house hadn't come back yet, but Leo knew they couldn't stay for long.
He didn't like it, something felt off. But he didn't say anything.
After a while he got bored and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Hazel asked, turning to look at him.
Leo shrugged, "For a walk." He replied with an elfish grin, "Maybe, I'll light something on fire." Leo laughed at the shocked looks, "Kidding!"
"I'm coming, too." Piper said, getting up and following him to the door, "someone has to make sure you don't try anything."
Leo stuck his tongue out at her as they left. The two walked in silence for a while. Leo's mind wandered, it had been like this before, before the mist and Jason and prophecies and Gods. Before all that they had just been two best friends causing trouble and mischief. He smiled without knowing.
Piper rested her head on his shoulder with a sigh, "I didn't know how much I missed this."
Leo replied with a grin. "Sometimes, I wish we could all just be normal."
"Me too."
They walked until they reached a McDonalds, where they used Piper's dad's money to buy food. They joked around and threw food at each other like they had before everything.
"I really like him, I swear. But, oh my god, he can be so annoying!" Piper groaned rolling her eyes. They were taking turns complaining.
"I'm Jason Grace," Leo mimicked, trying to sound superior, "I can shoot lightning, you all have to listen to me."
Piper laughed, throwing a fry at him.
"And he doesn't care that other girls hit on him!" Piper continued, "It's like he doesn't even care!"
"Or notice," Leo added, "Come on, Beauty Queen. He's as dense as a brick wall."
"Hey, he's not as bad as Percy." Piper giggled, "Nico would have to write it on a billboard before Percy knew about his crush!"
Leo forced a laugh, pushing back nagging thoughts, "No way, Nico could just scare him into knowing!"
"Yeah, cause everyone has to be scared of the son of Hades." Piper said sarcastically.
"Then there's Annabeth, sheesh!" It was Leo's turn to complain, "She thinks she knows everything! And just because she's the daughter of Athena, she's suddenly smarter than everyone else!"
Piper grinned, "Well, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, so she probably is smart-,"
Leo cut her off by throwing an apple slice at her nose and mock-scowling.
After a moment Piper's brow furrowed and she asked, "Do you get the feeling something is up with them? You know, Percy and Annabeth?"
Leo raised an eyebrow, "You mean aside from the fact that they can't agree on anything, they seem like they hate each other and they haven't acted like a couple since Tartarus?" Leo asked before shaking his head, "Nope, that aside I can't think of a thing."
Piper grinned and rolled her eyes, "Fine, what about you then, lover boy? Got your eye on anyone?"
Leo's mind flashed to Nico making him blush lightly, "Nope."
"You liar! Who is it?" Piper squealed leaning forward. She might not always like her godly parent but she had somehow inherited Aphrodite's love of love.
"No one!" Leo insisted, looking away.
"Well, it's not Hazel, right?" Piper started, "Not Annabeth either, or Thalia, or,"
"Piper," Leo whined.
"Oh, come on, tell me!" Piper whined back.
They argued about it more before Piper stuck her tongue out and they went on to other topics.
"I don't get it," Piper mused, "If the gods were going to send us somewhere, why here?"
Leo looked around, they were heading back to the house they woke up in, "The scenery." He joked with a grin.
Piper rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.
"Well, who says it was them?" Leo asked quirking his head to the side.
"Who else could it be?" Piper replied.
Leo shrugged and grabbed the door handle giving an exaggerated bow as he held the door for her, making Piper roll her eyes and laugh.
Leo paused as the entered the living room, someone else was there, the owner of the house probably. But she was sitting on the couch beside Hazel and Jason in front of an IM.
Leo and Piper looked at each other before entering the room just as the Iris Message disappeared.
"What's going on?" Leo asked drawing the attention to himself and Piper.
The others looked to each other before Annabeth spoke up, "This is Elda." She gestured to the woman who gave them a soft smile, "she knows about the Gods. Sometimes she hears them talk to each other." The pair in the doorway nodded, wondering why this was important. "We IM'd the Gods," Annabeth continued, "they didn't send us here. Remember what Gaia said?"
They nodded again, the primordial goddess had said that if she couldn't destroy them they would suffer apart from the rest, it hadn't made sense to them.
"She must have enacted a curse that sent us here." Annabeth finished.
"Okay," Leo started slowly, "But where is here?"
Annabeth looked to the others again before answering, "From what we can tell we're in a different universe. One where the gods don't exsist."
YAy! That was shorter than I wanted but it's done. Give me shipping suggestions, please? Nico/Leo is more than likely but I'm not sure about the others. Tell me if you liked it, hated it, think something could be better?
