And here I am with the next instalment of Reunions. After looking at the responses that I got for the last three chapters, I was wondering how many of you want another Jadon chapter, with Jadon back at camp? If a lot of people want another Jadon piece then I'll write one. I have also played around with the Comic Con dates. Please excuse this as all Comic Con info is based on London Comic Con. Thank you for all of the faves/follows.

Epicawesomen00b : :)

Connwaer Heap : Thank you, I'm glad that my plot twists worked.

Skyfir3S4kur4 : Thank you, and I'm happy to hear that you liked Cruella being an empousa.

Sidda : Thanks, and being a nerd is great ;) My question for you is what are your top three book series? Mine are HOO, Harry Potter and The Mortal instruments.

LeDo : Because I enjoy torturing my reviewers :)

DaughterOfPegasus : Here you go.

B.E by Erin : If enough people want me to do another Jadon chapter then I'll have a chapter that involves Jadon's P.O.V.

Melancholy's Sunshine : I can totally see something like that happening! Or Leo spending way too long on an invention and Jadon drags him away to get some sleep. "I don't care how close you are to finishing, you haven't slept in three days!" "But Jadonnnnn." "No, don't think that you can wheedle your way out of this!"

Zoethezany III : Thanks for all of your reviews, and that was probably the biggest hint towards Jadon's true identity.

Disclaimer : I don't own HOO or Comic Con or any of the Cosplay. If anyone can sell me things then I'll be greatly indebted.


"Piper, you are the best friend in the entire universe and I will be forever in your debt!" Leo blurted out whilst bouncing up and down in his seat, almost dislodging Annabeth's wig in his excitement. Piper blushed.

"It's fine Leo. It was easy enough for me to get the tickets and the outfits so don't worry about it. If you really want to repay me then don't make any jokes if we see a Tristan McLean costume." Leo beamed and nodded. He so owed Piper for this.

To celebrate Leo's return to the land of the living, Piper had bought the Seven (and Nico, who was seen as a part of their crew despite his protests) tickets to San Diego Comic Con. She had also offered to pay for any costumes that the others wanted to buy.

Everyone was excited, even the people (*cough* Hazel and Nico *cough*) who weren't usually into this sort of thing.

After all, Comic Con wasn't just about comics.

They had all scoured the internet and nearby shops for costumes and Piper had generously paid for all of them.

If Leo had known that he'd be get a trip to Comic Con as well as a free costume just for dying then he'd have visited Elysium more often.

The demigods were currently in full costume, driving the building where Comic Con was being held. And what an odd bunch they looked.

Nico was wearing Hades outfit from the Mythomagic card series, modern outfit expansion pack mode. The game was actually what plied Nico to come in the first place. Leo had just so happened to mention that people happened to gather at the Con to trade cards or to play the games of popular series, and Mythomagic was weirdly enough one of the favourites. The day after, Nico had shuffled up to the seven and muttered that he'd be coming, but only because Piper had bought the tickets in advance and he didn't want her to waste her money.

Leo had then helped his technologically impaired friend trawl the internet for the perfect costume. It was actually pretty easy to find, Hades seemed to be a popular card, go figure.

As the costume was based of more modern clothing due to it being a part of an expansion pack, it didn't look too old fashioned. It looked awesome if Leo was honest. It consisted of a tight black T-shirt with an image of crossed scythes coming out of a bleeding skull's eye sockets, black skinny jeans with a chunky spiked belt looped through, knee high boots with skull motifs at the bottom and a long, black leather coat that reached Nico's knees. The belt was connected to a fob watch that rested in Nico's pocket by a chain shaped to look like a skeleton arm.

The overall effect was wicked, even Nico had been pleased, and Leo could have sworn that Will taken a bazillion photos.

Percy's costume, along with Jason's, had been easy to guess, and Leo would have been personally offended if they hadn't chosen to go as Aqua Man and Superman respectively. In fact, he had badgered them about it for so long that both had been obliged to go as the heroes. They also both went old fashioned, so Jason had a lovely pair of red underwear over his blue tights.

Hazel's options were pretty limited as she hadn't really experienced everything this century had to offer, but she eventually settled on being Wendy from Peter Pan, dressed in an old fashioned nightgown. She had been very happy with her choice, she loved old tales like Peter Pan and so Wendy seemed like a pretty good fit. One of the first things that she had demanded to watch at movie night was Disney's Peter Pan as she had loved the book so much.

Frank had gone a surprising root, revealing to Leo that he was an anime fan. Leo had watched quite a few animes and although it was weird for him to find things in common with Frank, they had bonded somewhat over some of the classics like Bleach and Naruto. In honour of this, Frank had chosen to dress as Ishida the Quincy archer from Bleach in his first costume. This consisted of a long white (almost dress like) tunic that reached Frank's knees with slits on each side up to his waist. The zip was outlined in blue. Underneath this was simple white dress shoes and pants. A short cape covered the top of his torso, ending at his elbows. A silver cross with a smaller blue cross design in the centre glinted near his wrist, dangling from a short chain.

It was a snappy outfit, and if Frank needed to use a bow, Leo had constructed a perfect, working replica of the bow from the anime. It glowed and everything. The monsters wouldn't know what hit them, a trident with real working water powers, Jason flying in with his underwear over his pants or a glowing arrow from an equally blinding bow.

Piper had chosen to go as Jasmine from Aladdin, stating that she was her favourite Disney princess growing up. She looked stunning, and Leo knew that Jason had showered her in compliments from the red tint in her cheeks.

Annabeth was Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. Some how Leo wasn't at all confused by this choice. It just... worked. She was wearing typical wizard robes and had a fake wand (made by Leo like Percy's trident and Frank's bow). The wig that Leo had almost displaced was a frizzy brown as Hermione preferred to cosplay as Hermione in the earlier books.

Leo himself had received the special privilege of purchasing two costumes. The one that he was going to be wearing the next day (the more awesome outfit that he wanted to save for the busiest day of the con) was Ezio's first outfit from Assassin's Creed. He adored that outfit, and he was so ready to get into character that he had asked Nico to teach him a few basic Italian phrases. Luckily a lot of Italian is similar to Spanish so Leo had no problem picking up a few idioms.

Leo's other costume (the one he was wearing right now) was that of a Charmander from Pokemon. As Charmander is a fire type, Leo found it oddly appropriate to cosplay. He tried to ignore the fact that the girls had been calling him "adorable" and "cute" ever since they had left the hotel. He wasn't going to let their weirdness but a damper on this.

Finally, they reached the Comic Con building. Leo was practically vibrating with excitement. He was going to buy so many souvenirs.

To make navigating the con easier, they had all chosen to split into duos so that they wouldn't have to constantly keep an eye on each other. For the first day, the Disney girls (Piper and Hazel) were together, the Mythomagic freaks (Nico and Frank) were paired up, Percy and Annabeth had elected to stay together, and therefore Leo was going to be perusing the Con's wares with Jason.

They queued up for hours, but Leo's ADHD was distracted by playing spot the cosplay. He recognised a lot of the costumes which made him happy.

Eventually they had their wristbands (that they had to keep on for the entirety of their stay) and a designated meeting time/place and were ready to venture forth into this brave new world.

For the first few hours, Leo literally dragged Jason around as he oohed and aahed at all of the amazing things on sale. Jason never complained, which told Leo a lot. Obviously his friend had really missed him if he was willing to allow Leo to tug him all around the large con.

And then Leo found the DDR machine. A boy dressed in Skyrim hunting gear was currently beating the tar out of someone who was dressed as Naruto. The Skyrim cosplayer's horned helmet wobbled ominously as he played. Once Naruto had lost, Leo stepped forwards. The game started and both boys went all out.

But in the end, Leo was victorious. He turned to shake the hand of his opponent, but the other boy's eyes just locked onto his face.

The sparkling blue eyes observed him for a solid minute before someone politely asked them to move away if they weren't going to actually play the game.

The other boy nodded and stumbled off of the game's dance mat. Leo walked back over to Jason, and the Skyrim cosplayer followed him.

"Can I help you with something?" Leo was seriously confused as to why this boy seemed so shocked to see him. And then the boy removed his helmet, revealing ice blonde hair.

"Jazz!" Leo exclaimed as his old friend smiled at him shakily.

"It's good to see you again, Leo." Leo nodded , and they stood awkwardly for a few seconds before Leo broke his stoic facade and lunged forwards to envelop Jazz in a bear hug.

His friend hugged him back, equally as hard. Then Jason coughed in a not so subtle manner.

Leo pulled back from the hug.

"Jazz, this is Jason. Jason, Jazz." Jason shook Jason's hand warmly, and they decided to find some place to sit down and talk, a feat easier said than done.

They trawled around for a good ten minutes. Luckily, they managed to find a patch of floor off to the side where they would have about as much peace as an event like this would grant them.

They caught each other up, though Leo was careful to leave out all mentions of any demigod activity. They also carefully skirted around the nature of Leo's departure from Jazz's neighbourhood, a fact that Leo was very grateful for. Jason knew enough of his memories, he didn't need to know anymore.

Once they had gotten all of the catching up out of the way, they settled on the much more comfortable topic of gaming and the con in general.

Jazz was a really easy going person, which meant that he easily included Jason in the conversation. Leo was really thankful for that, as awesome as it was to see Jazz again, this trip was mostly for the demigods to get over Leo's death and he wanted Jason to enjoy the time spent with him.

The other boys seemed to be getting along great though, so Leo had no reason to be worried. In fact, Jason was the one to suggest that Jazz should spend the rest of the day with them, saying that the other blonde could meet the rest of their friends. Jazz agreed warmly, and Leo found a sudden question dawning on him.

"So why were you at the DDR section alone?" Jazz blanched.

"My dad went the toilet while I played! He's going to freak!" Jazz whipped out his phone and realised that he had accidentally switched it to silent. Leo overheard him mutter a silent prayer to God (which made Leo grin) as he turned the sound back on, blushing as his Pokemon theme ring tone went off. Jazz clearly noticed his smirk as he hissed "I'm not the one dressed as charmander", before answering the phone.

A loud voice instantly blared out of the phone, and Jazz held it away form his ear, grimacing.

After a lot of scolding/berating, Jazz's dad quietened down enough for Jazz to speak.

"Dad, Leo's here." The voice on the other end of the line cut off immediately.

"Where are you?" It inquired in a much more subdued tone than before. Jazz reeled off directions to where they were sitting before turning to the other boys with a sheepish smile.

"I kinda forgot about my dad." Leo laughed, he just couldn't help it. Jason was sniggering beside him, and eventually Jazz was snickering as well.

"Great way of getting out of a punishment there, tell someone that your old friend has suddenly appeared in Comic con." Leo laughed even harder as Jazz attempted to glare at him but failed because he was laughing way too hard.

And then Jazz's dad burst out of the stalls and skidded over to them.

He was basically an older version of Jazz, but his hair had more of a golden tint than Jazz's pale locks.

The man panted, clearly he had ran around looking for his son.

Despite himself, Leo felt a sharp spike of envy cutting into him.

He had died fighting his father's war, and yet the man couldn't even be bothered to pop in occasionally for a chat. Leo quickly stowed those emotions away, feeling like that would only cause him more grief in the end.

He plastered on a huge smile, and found himself in a bone crushing hug.

"It's good to see you again, kid." Leo hugged him back, remembering the times in his past when Jazz's dad had hugged him.

Once when Leo had gotten sick during a sleepover, another time when Leo's foster parents had forgotten to come and pick him up, and many other times when Leo had needed it. This man had been more of a father to him than Hephaestus had ever been, and yet Hephaestus was his biological father.

The man withdrew his arms slowly, and sent a look to Jazz that clearly stated that there would be hell to pay once the day was over.

"Will you boys excuse me and my son for a second?" Leo and Jason nodded and Mr Harris tugged his son away, having a whispered conversation that involved lots of hand waving. Leo waited with Jason, idly fiddling with one of his purchases.

Then Jazz bounded over to them.

"My dad said that as long as I meet him at the end of the day, I can go round with you." His eyes were shining, but Leo felt guilty. Clearly Mr Harris had brought his son here to enjoy some bonding time, and here was Leo inconveniently stealing Jazz away from him. That was then Mr Harris's blue eyes met his. The man winked slowly at him, before strolling over.

"I don't mind." He muttered, before he turned to all of the boys, warning Jazz to be careful and telling them all to have a good time.

Leo turned to Jazz, feeling his enthusiasm bubbling up and threatening to overwhelm him.

"Come on guys, lets explore."


I'm not really sure what I think about this chapter... I might make it into a two parter. Feel free to tell me about whether or not you want me to make this into a two parter, and also if you want another Jadon chapter.
