p style="text-align: center;"Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HoO. Rick Riordan, the one that created the awesomeness that is Leo Valdez, does./p
p style="text-align: center;"(A\N) I haven't updated for a while because this is a point where this story could go in multiple directions. I wanted to make sure what I wanted to do./p

p style="text-align: center;"Previously,"Ummmmm, hey dad. I didn't think you were allowed to meddle in demigod affairs." The gods' shoulders slumped and he looked to the sky just as thunder boomed. "I'm not. All of the gods want you to get to camp. Except hades of course. He doesn't think you should have come back to life. He's mad as, well, hades." My father waved his hand, and before he could explain, festus was clearly fixed. Hephaestus disappeared in a flash of fire. "Ooooookaaayyy."/p
p style="text-align: left;"Hades POV/p
p style="text-align: center;" "So, an escapee?" Hades asked. The fates nodded and said, "Do you remember Leo Valdez, the kid who helped save the-." "Yes, I remember him! He's the one who escaped my grasp. The prophecy said he was supposed to die!" The fates gave each other a look and told him, "The prophecy never actually said he would stay dead. He was dead for a time and came back to life." From the fields of punishment, you could see an explosion of flying bones and zombie limbs./p

p style="text-align: left;"Calypso POV /p
p style="text-align: center;" Calypso felt like a word that Leo said when he got his hand stuck in one of festus's gears. "So, are you mad at me? I mean, I did leave without you." Leo looked up from his work and shrugged. "I'm more mad at myself for not thinking of finding my dad at a place called dragon mechanics." Calypso suddenly realized that bacon was sizzling on festus's nose. Leo only ate bacon when he was mad at himself, or just when he wanted to./p

p style="text-align: left;"Leo POV/p
p style="text-align: center;"Hades wants me dead! Was his only thought. Dying was not on his list of top ten things he wanted to experience again. For all he knew, Hades would give him a terrible punishment for cheating death. Repeating firing squad, watching his mom die over and over again, Dodgeball all day and night? He shuddered at the thought. /p
