So chapter 12 begins...

Jason POV

After Leo went through the portal, which was information I got from Chiron, I decided to climb the ladder to the balcony. I created the mini ladder that could extend to any length, by the way. That was awesome! I shook my head, no! That was not in my vocabulary, especially in my thoughts. I usually don't use such simple vocabulary, and I definitely thought that the word, 'awesome', was overused. I knelt down to the lock and tried my usual combination, which didn't work. Why didn't I think that Leo wouldn't change the lock combination again? Oh, right. I thought that he was going to be more like me, and would've been more responsible.

And what in the name of Zeus was he doing in Camp Jupiter! Gods, did I actually think Zeus instead of Jupiter? This connection must really be narrowing down a lot.

I knelt down and looked at Leo's tool belt, "Give me a screw." The belt refused to cooperate and hit me in the head with a nail, before the nail disappeared. I rubbed my hand on my forehead. Maybe the belt sensed that I wasn't actually Leo. I guess that not just anyone can use the belt. Guess that there isn't any use for wearing a belt either way. I'll keep it on since I'm so awe-no! I am not Leo Valdez and I will not think his usual thoughts. I sighed, before burning the door with my hand. I looked at the portal and wondered if I should go there. After all, I made the oath about the three days thing after a lot of begging and things like that. Nah, I didn't want to go there. I would rather be here and chat to Piper, no matter who she thinks I was right now.

I knocked on the door and she opened the door, looking beautiful as always, "H-Hi Piper."

She rolled her eyes, "Repair Boy. What are you doing here? I just got a mention from Chiron about where he was going. I can't believe that he didn't tell me." Usually, I would take her hand and reassure her, but by being Leo, I couldn't do that at all.

I bit my lip and smiled, "Piper, if I opened a band, would you join? If you do, I'm sure that you can play the pipes well!"

Piper looked amused, "Leo!" Then, she punched me. From a different perspective, it probably looked like a playful punch. But Piper was strong and dangerous... She was right when she said that she was a dangerous girl.

I rubbed my arm, "Beauty queen!"

"Whatever." I turned and left, looking pained. I guess that Leo never really pretended to looked pained after Piper punched him 'playfully'. Wait... Has it been two days yet? I think it has. Sorry Leo, your deadline is over. I began walking to my cabin, and was surprised to see a few Hunters there. What in the name of Hades were they doing? I walked in, and a few of them followed me. Maybe it was because I was so awesome. Damn it! And I thought I was doing well. Ugh. Leo and his sarcasm.

I turned around but the Hunters continued to follow me, "What in the name of Hephaestus are you doing?"

The one with the silver crown said, "Making sure you don't murder anyone. No one feels safe around you."

"You're going to watch me when I sleep too?" They exchanged an eye roll before continuing to stare at me. Maybe they were so breathless because I was awesome. Dang it! Anyways, they didn't seem like they were going to give me answers.

One of them, with a bracelet, said, "It will depend on what our Lady says. Besides, you think that we're going to let an insignificant boy ruin our lives?"

"Yes."

"Oh no! We must run." The Hunters laughed.

The silver crowned girl sighed, "You and your sarcasasm Sara."

The girl named Sara chuckled, "What can I say? It's second nature."

I asked, confused, "Are you a nature spirit?"

Sara stopped and looked at me with anger, "Are you insulting me?! Are you seriously trying to compare me to a low life that killed my younger brother when he was born?"

"I-I-" Vines grew out of nowhere rooted my feet to the ground. I could barely move, never mind get out of this girl's anger.

The silver crowned girl put a hand on her shoulder, "Calm down Sara. The boy is just trying to get your strength out of you, although I can't say that I care if he dies or not."

Sara rolled her eyes, "Okay Andrea, I got it. But if he had half a brain, he would've known that I am a daughter of Demeter. Besides, they would've figured out eventually."

I asked, "How about you Andrea? Anything to say about my strong looks and personality?"

She turned and glared at me before saying, "Just shut up." I tried to think of a reply, and opened my mouth to say something. Only to find out that I couldn't open my mouth at all. My lips were sealed.

Andrea looked startled about the fact that I wasn't replying and turned to Sara, "Did I-"

Sara nodded, "Yes."

Andrea sighed, "You can speak now but you will forget the past two minutes, especially where I showed my powers." I opened my mouth quickly, and I wanted to talk about what happened. Then, I couldn't recall what had happened. Why were there vines by my feet? Wait, that's Sara's doing. But why couldn't I remember what else had happened over the last minute? Maybe it was ADHD. I shrugged, and used a knife to carefully cut the vines out. Then, I began building something, and the two were just looking at me before grabbing a few full knives, and began to sharpen them.

Leo POV

I barely heard Hazel as she spoke, although Jason's mind allowed me to multitask. At least I would have a bad idea of what would happen, even though I wasn't so focused on the details. She was just talking about something new in the camp. Since when was Hazel so talkative again? Oh right, since I wasn't around.

I asked her, "Hazel?"

"Yes?"

"Do you know about how I can get a message to Camp Half-Blood? I forgot to tell Leo something very important. I need him to make one of the blueprints for an automobile to maybe help us build."

Hazel looked at me strangely, "Camp Jupiter already has many automobiles but Leo is very talented. Didn't you mention something about an IM sometime?" Right! An Iris Message!

"Right, I just forgot the name on her. I'll be right back." I ran out, and found a spray gum to make mist. I shot it in the air, and a rainbow appeared. I gave a quick prayer for this to work before...

"Don't forget your paperwork Jason!" I groaned as I turned around to face Reyna.
