"Fred?' Said Percy, mouth agape. Leo didn't really understand exactly why Percy felt the need to play the part of a snake and unlock his jaw. Yeah, it was odd that the triplets father had the last name of a god but he had met a couple of people with last names like Zeus before. It wasn't that unusual.

Percy stared at the triplets for a few moments. Then he spoke.

'Well at least it explains some things. Like how you can all see through the mist."

"What on earth are you talking about, Percy?" Asked Hazel, pulling her eyebrows together, confusion in her golden eyes.

"Fred." He stated simply. "That's the name that Apollo used when he was helping me on a quest when he wasn't supposed to."

"So you think-" Annabeth began, but was interrupted abruptly.

"Yeah, I do." Percy said. He turned to Artemisia-Leo could tell it was her because the expression on her face was harder than any that Ace or Chrissy could ever have- and asked, "An of you guys good with things involving targets? Long range shooting? Basketball?"

Something hit Leo, at that moment. "Artemisia throws knifes for money at a bar. Chrissy works with medicine. Ace...She's a writer. don't think-"

"I just said I did, but yeah."

huh.

The triplets. Demi-gods. Daughters of Apollo if the were right. That was... kind of relieving.

As much as Leo liked his cabin mates- his siblings-from camp, he didn't really know most of them very well. And they didn't know him. But with the triplets, they had seen each other at their best and worst, and all knew each others life stories. Jason... Well he didn't know much about Jason, because Jason didn't now much about Jason, and with Piper, they had no idea of how much of the wilderness school was real. For all either of them knew, they could've hated each other.

Don't get him wrong, he loved them, he really did, and they had been through hell together. But something about all the lies and secrets there bugged Leo.

"Huh." spoke Chrissy, brow furrowed. "Huh." she repeated.

"Everybody's insane. The world has gone nuts." There was this look in Ace's eye that Leo had never seen. Absolute panic.

He couldn't remember having that feeling when he had found out he was a demi-god. Everything had moved to fast those first few days, and after getting back from the quest, he had been way to busy building the Argo II to freak out. Or maybe he was just weird.

'Ace" he spoke slowly. "You need to calm down for a sec. No freak outs. Calm rational thoughts."

"Rational thoughts!" she practically shrieked at him. "Rational. NOne of this is rational. you talking about mythical gods and carrying around weapons, and now you telling us that our dad was a god, and they actually believe you! You believe you! Nothing about this has any rationality to it!"

Leo scratched his neck, feeling uncomfortable. "You kind of get used to the insanity after a while, Ace. Uh Pipes? You in any condition to give a hand in calming her down"

Piper wrinkled her nose. "Don't call me that, Leo." she sighed. "Maybe? I can try, but I'm not sure how well it will work."

Leo nodded. "Thats alright, we only need her to calm down long enough to get used to the idea. Nothing more than a few minutes, but really don't want a bunch of people coming over."

Piper nodded. "hey Ace," she spoke in a gentle tone. "You really should just calm down for a minute. I mean, you really dont want people cming over, do you?"

Ace looked at her, a slightly dazed look in her eyes. "Yeah... No, don't want anyone coming over... Calm sounds nice.

"It does, doesn't it?" Piper continued", before closing her eyes for a moment.

Having Piper charm speak Ace made leo feel a little guilty, but they really didn't need a bunch of people coming over, and If she had gotten much louder, than it couldve been a serious problem. BUt still, having to force her to do something she had obviously not wanted to do really bothered Leo. Sometimes, he really hated the whole Demigod business.
