Hey guys, Lettuce here! I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for not sending me flames. I feel so lucky, and I'm saddened to say that my counterpart Apple is not so lucky. ( if you would like to learn more about this check out the authors note in her story Why Reid.)

Also thanks to reviewers:

Kindperson (guest): Thanks! It's always nice to meet people with the same fandoms as me!

ggg: Thank you! Yeah, I understand the problem. My computer's down, so I post from my IPhone and iPad so I guess it glitches. Sorry about that.

Mondmaedchen: I love that you love it! Yeah, it's hard choosing, but I would also say Team Leo!

Anyways, on with the story!

(Nico's POV)

So we won the war. Great. Persephone forced me to come to this party, or else she would turn me into a dandelion.

/

I walked in to the pavilion,with my hands in my pockets. I was wearing a black T-shirt, my leather aviator's jacket, black jeans, and black Jordan's. What? Don't judge me, I wasn't going to look bad in front of the campers.

I scanned the space. I saw Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, my little sister, Frank, Jason, Piper, and... wait... Where is Leo? I walked over to the power couple, A.K.A Percabeth.

"Hey guys. What's up?" I ask.

"Nothin' much Nico. You?" Percy replied. He had his arm around Annabeth's waist.

"Nothing really, besides getting threatened to be turned in to a dandelion by Persephone. Have you seen Leo?"I said, once again scanning the area with my eyes.

"Ummm..he came by earlier. I don't know where he is." Annabeth replied.

"Oh. Ok. See you guys later." I said. I moved on.

"Where could he be?" I wondered.

I went to Hazel and Frank and they said the same thing as Percy and Annabeth.

/

I walked to Piper and Jason by the campfire.

"Hey guys. Have you seen Leo?" I asked them.

"Hey Nico. Yeah he came by a while ago." Jason said. Then Piper piped up, (AN: come on, I had to! It's word play!)"He said he was going to Bunker 9."

"Ok. See you guys later, I guess." I replied.

I was walking through the woods toward Bunker 9. Now you may be wondering why the underworld boy is looking for an annoying flame kid. The truth is we sorta bonded after the war. Before the party I mean. I was always alone, because let's face it, I'm a loner. He was either alone or in Bunker 9. I suspected no one was paying attention to him for a while, until one day I went to the bunker and he look like he hadn't had a good meal in days.

I asked him what was up with that and he admitted he hadn't left the bunker since Tuesday. And it was Thursday. I dragged him to the mess hall and forced him to eat. Ever since then, we kinda bonded.

/

I walked in to the bunker. It seemed bare. A little too bare. I checked his cupboard full of essential supplies. Empty.

I checked his small drawer where he kept his back up clothes. Empty.

I looked at the small cot he used to sleep on when he's too lazy or tired to walk to his cabin. Nothing's on it except one single piece of paper. It read:

Dear Nico,

I figured you'll be the only one in here to look for me. No one else cares that much about me. Let me cut to the chase.

I can't take it anymore. No one cares about me except you. So I did one of the few things I'm best at. I ran.

I hope you can forget about me. Don't bother looking. You won't find me.

By the way, I had something to tell you. But not here. This note can be shown to the others. But the note on the back can't. It's for you and your eyes only. Any ways, good bye forever.

Sincerely,

Leo

I couldn't believe it. Leo was gone.

Dun dun dun!

What does the note say? What's Nico going to do?

Find out next chapter. It will be faster I promise.

As always please review!

Here's the reader's question:

Who's powers would you have:

Leo's

OR

Percy's?

Last reader's question results... Leo!
