Restless Leo didn't sleep very long.

His thoughts were consumed with the future. Both near and distant. His whole life he never had much thought for a future. It was always moving from place to place. Now he had friends and a home. He could do anything. That excited him and confused him.

Early in the morning he rose and went out to the Fields of Mars to check on Festus.

He worked for a couple of hours and started to make an inventory of what he would need to fix when he got back to Bunker 9. Frank's offer was nice, but Leo had no intention of using any of the Romans materials.

"They need it to fix New Rome," he muttered as he continued to work while trying to push his thoughts out of his head.

He lost track of time as he worked.

"Leo?" Hazel said from behind him. "You want some help?"

"No thanks," Leo replied without turning around. "I have it handled."

"Have you eaten anything yet?"

"Nope. I'll go get something soon. I am almost done."

"You sure?"

"Yes, Hazel I'm sure."

"Leo." He felt her hand touch his arm.

He sighed and turned around to look at her. Her eyes were full of concern.

"What?" Leo asked while forcing a grin.

"C'mon, Leo I know you too well," she replied. "You are working on something longer than you already need to, you have missed two meals-"

"Is it past lunchtime already?" He interrupted.

"Yes and you appear to be more restless than usual. I'm a little worried…"

"Don't you think that your worried is a little rushed?" Leo replied with a chuckled. "It has only been a few hours after all."

"Yeah, but after everything that we have been through…for you it's only felt like a week right?"

"Something like that."

"How are you doing with the aftermath of everything…you know…Gaea…end of the world and all. The rest of us have had time to deal with it. You probably feel like it happened yesterday."

"Honestly…I haven't even thought of it. But now that you mention it…" He slumped to the ground and leaned back against Festus. Hazel sat down next to him.

"Sorry…," she said.

"No don't worry about it," he answered while waving his hand. "It's over. Dirt face is gone, came back from the dead, no biggie."

"Then what's wrong?"

"I don't know…It's not that I think anything is wrong…it's just I'm a bit anxious."

"And…"

"Hmm…I don't know!" He threw his hands up in frustration. "I guess I am starting to think about what I am going to do next. Which is really weird for me."

"Why is that?"

"Because I have never had to deal with that before. My life has always been decided for me. Now I can do…anything. It's exciting and a bit…terrifying."

"I understand what you mean," Hazel replied nodding. "I felt the same way when Nico first brought me back…"

They sat there for a moment as Leo continued to think. Absentmindedly he picked up a rock and started to roll it between his fingers.

"Have you told Calypso about this?" Hazel asked. "She probably feels the similar. Maybe more so."

"No. She is kind of part of what I am so anxious about."

"What about her."

"It's stupid," he replied and shook his head.

"What is it?" Hazel asked.

"I guess I just wonder what will happen once we get settled in…what if she finds someone else she was trapped on that island for a long time. Maybe…I don't know."

Hazel started laugh and Leo looked over confused.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because you boys can be so stupid," Hazel said. "Leo, I know I just met Calypso, but I see the way she looks at you. It's not just some little crush. She isn't going to leave you for the first person that she meets."

"You do make a point," Leo said starting to feel stupid himself and his stomach starting to growl. "I guess I am just new at this."

"You'll get used to it. And if someday you two don't work out then so be it. Enjoy it while you have it. I do hope it lasts a long time though. You deserve it."

"Yeah," he replied his stomach getting louder. "You sure you ain't a daughter of Aphrodite?"

She laughed they sat for a moment. Leo was starting to feel calmer. He always liked Hazel. She always seemed to know what to say to him.

"What do you think you are going to do now that there is no big quest?"

"I don't know yet. I'll go back to Camp Half-Blood and fix Festus. Then who knows. I'll have to talk to Calypso about what to do next."

"Well you two are always welcome here," she said and nudged him a bit.

"Thanks, Hazel." He smiled and he started to laugh. "I don't know about you, but I am starving!" He jumped to his feet and offered his hand to Hazel.

"You sure got over that fast," Hazel replied while taking his hand and pulling herself up.

"I wouldn't say I am over it," he replied. "Still don't know what I am going to do with my life, but right now my only concern is to get some food. Are you coming or what?"
