Leo crashed through the windows of a 3rd story apartment. Calypso had fallen off and in his panic to try and save her festus had crash landed in someone's bedroom. A girl screamed. Leo's leg was stuck under festus, and the girl ran forward to try and help him, not of course knowing he was immune to fire. "No, don't!" He yelled. But the girl surged forward, oblivious to the flames. And somehow, she didn't get burned by the time she reached him. "Who are you?..." She whispered, looking at him in awe. "Are you, Leo Valdez?" "Yes, how did you know?" The girl said something about a guy named rick riordian, wasn't he camp half-bloods scribe? She gushed about books and terrible movies, then realized leo was still stuck. "Oh gods, oh gods" she said, looking around for a tool to use" leo didn't realize she said gods, as in plural. "Here" leo said, pulling a hammer out of his tool belt. But it wasn't there! "My tool belt..." Leo said. "It's over here" the girl said, as she reached in and pulled out the hammer leo had been looking for. She used it to lift the metal off of leo, and push the metal out the broken window. "Wasthat sucha goodidea" leo said, his words blurring. "It's the only way" she replied. She laid leo on what he presumed was her bed, then tucked him in. "Uhhg" leo said, then, passed out.

He woke up... In a 14 year olds bedroom? Where was he? Who was he? He started to panic, then saw a young girl sitting in a chair, studying him. "Hi" he said. "Hello, I'm glad you're awake" she said. "Do I know you?" He asked. "Uh" the girl said, but before she could reply he asked a different question. "Who am I?" The girl looked surprised, then hopeful, then back to calm and collected. "I'm honestly not sure." She said. "All I know is that I found you unconscious on the sidewalk, you had been hit by some metal scaffolding that fell from the neighbor's balcony. I dragged you up here, and, well, here you are" he was scared, did this accident take away his memory? "Do you know my name?" He said. "No, but you remind me of a character from a book I read. he was called Leo, you seem like a Leo to me" ok, maybe until he knew his name he would call himself Leo. "Ok, I'm now Leo" he said. All of a sudden he got a pounding headache. "OhNoIThinkIHaveAHeadache" he said, his words melting into each other. "It's probably to be expected" she said. "IStillDontKnowYourName" he said. "I'm Layla" she said, smiling. Layla, Layla, Layla... Leo thought as he slipped away, once more.

Layla knew immediately that he was leo valdez. He acted just like the Leo from The Heros Of Olympus, one of her favorite books written by Rick Riordian. When he crashed through her window, she rushed forward to save him, forgetting the fire, because all of a sudden fiction had just become true for her.

After learning that the crash had wiped Leo's memory she began to formulate a plan. While she thought it out she cleaned his wounds, sweeped up the metal remnants, and hung leo's tool belt in the closet, locking it away. If this was going to work she had to make sure leo never found it again.
