We finally see everyone converge!

I own nothing you recognize as canon. I also do not own any of ArtemisApollo97's OCs.

Four: I'm Seeing Double!

"Let me get this straight," Percy said, rubbing his eyebrows together. "You say you're Leo from a different universe that married Calypso and doesn't know anything about Louisa. I got that. You're here looking for your daughter and youngest son who came to this world through a mirror on accident. Cool. You disappeared for years before coming back to New York with twins? Cold, man. Please tell me someone beat you up."

The group consisting of Percy Jackson, Leo Valdez, and Tulio Valdez were walking down the streets of New York, heading for a specific place: the Valdez Household.

"The day I returned officially became Beat-up-Leo Day," Leo explained. "And Annabeth broke my nose upon meeting me. Piper broke my jaw."

Percy grinned. "Glad to know Annabeth isn't weak in your universe, either. How, uh...did we have kids where you're from?"

"Two. Lacy and Bobby."

Percy tilted his head. "Just two? Damn, and here I've got a family that reproduces like rabbits. Dad always said it was because I was the twin that got the 'fertility and plentiful bounty of the sea'. Poor Lou didn't get so lucky."

Leo chuckled. "Bounty? Shoot, I've got more kids than you in my world."

"What?"

Leo pointed at his son. "This is the younger of my twins, Tulio. The other twin is Esperanza. They're the eldest. Got two more under ten."

Percy chuckled. "Still doesn't beat my record, but I guess four kids is still a lot."

Leo grinned. "Gotta keep the 'big Mexican family' stereotype up, don't I?"

Both men laughed.

"So," Leo continued. "Who's Lou, anyway? You said she's your sister?"

"My twin."

Leo gave him a weird look. "Twin? Since when?"

"Since birth...? I don't have a twin where you come from?"

"Hell naw. This is news to me!"

Percy looked a little sad. "Sorry to hear that. I found out about Lou when I was sixteen and we've been inseparable ever since. I can't imagine my life without her."

Leo smiled. "It's all good, dude. I can't imagine my life without marrying Calypso. We traveled Europe together right after the war, you know. I needed her, and she needed me."

"And I get that." Percy smiled. "Our worlds are different, yet they feel the same. Only problem with you that I can see is that you're way more buff than the Leo I know. I can't believe I didn't notice those guns when I first ran up to you."

Leo smirked, flexing his biceps. "What can I say? Blacksmithing and mechanic-ing is a great workout."

"But you actually got muscles! Our Leo is skinnier than a stick and he lifts as much as you!"

Tulio chuckled. "Does your Leo cook for everyone and not eat? 'Cause that's what Papi would do. Then Mom kept forcing food into him every time he skipped a meal."

"Could be. Lou eats a lot more than Leo, so I can imagine her starving him. So, where do you live in your world?"

"New Athens."

"New whatnow?"

"Annabeth and a bunch of other Athena kids got together and designed a city modeled after New Rome," Tulio explained. "And I think your reasoning behind it, when asked, was 'why do the Romans get a steady life when the Greeks are thrown out into the world at adulthood?'"

Percy shrugged. "Sounds like something I'd say...In fact, why do the Greeks have to fend for themselves when the Romans get college and jobs and stuff? Granted, Greeks can go to New Rome for college now, but still..."

A few minutes later, they arrived at the Valdez Household. Leo was happy this version got to have a quaint little house like this, with a garage and shop built-in. It wasn't as fancy as the one in New Athens, but hey...work with what you got.

A crash sounded from within the garage. Percy grimaced. "Uh-oh. I think Lou found your kids."

"She wouldn't beat up Espie, would she?" Tulio asked, worried.

Percy smirked. "Not unless Espie started it. No, Lou would be beating up Leo by now. Especially if she jumped to the conclusion that he slept with Calypso and had kids with her."

Leo blanched.

Espie was honestly scared of this woman. For realsies. Epsie could take on hoards of monsters without blinking, but this woman was a whole other level of crazy dangerous.

Other-Leo was currently on the ground, covering his head in defense. The woman was standing over him with her arrow drawn, glaring at him.

"Love me, my ass," she growled. "I'll ask again: who had children with Calypso?"

"It wasn't him," Charlie protested. "He's not their dad, Mom."

"Minotaur shit!" Louisa fixed her stance and shot a project off a faraway table, which crashed gloriously. Another arrow was drawn and aimed at Other-Leo within seconds. "How do you explain how that girl looks just like ya, Leo?"

Zac, the brave and stupid child, decided to walk right up to Lou and pull on her sweatpants leg. She looked down and glared at him. Zac didn't flinch. "That not my Papi. He too old."

Lou faltered for a brief moment. "Not yer Papi. Who is?"

Espie stepped up. "Our father's name is Leo Valdez, but it's a different version. The Leo we know is bigger and younger. See, we're not supposed to be in this world. We just want to go home. Please don't kill this version of our dad."

Lou lowered her bow. "Normally I don't trust anyone with his face, and that includes Charlie. Gods know I've seen them use their good looks to get away with shit. But..." She looked at Zac. "I'm willin' to listen to reason if a baby brings up a point."

Zac pouted. "I'm a big boy!"

"'Course ya are, kid." She reached down and ruffled Zac's curls. "Ya got yer dad's hair, huh?"

Zac beamed. "Mommy says I'm too much like him."

Espie winked. "She's right. Papi rubbed off on us too much. Our sister's the only one with Mom's attitude and hobbies."

"Am I safe yet?" Leo squeaked from his position on the floor. "Is my face allowed to come out now?"

Lou rolled her eyes. Espie could swear she'd seen eyes as green as that before. "Get up, Leo. Yer makin' a scene."

Leo stood up, brushing his hands on his shirt. "I'm making a scene?! You nearly killed me!"

"But I didn't."

Leo huffed in annoyance. "Why did I marry a psychopath, again?"

"'Cause ya love me, and you'd be lost without me," Lou answered in a deadpan tone.

Leo smirked. "True."

Espie giggled. "By the way, Miss Louisa, he's crazy in my world, too. Only he would marry women as strong and as threatening as you or my mom."

"Didn't get the impression that Calypso could make a threat," Lou said. "And you can call me Lou."

"Okay, and oh yeah. She can make a threat. And back them up. One time, Dad decided that he was gonna build an army of mechanical orcs, and mom said no. When he built more than three, she kicked him out of the house and left him outside for two days with his little army. She even had Tulio reprogram the Tiny Festuses to attack him every time he came close to getting inside."

Lou barked out a laugh. She looked over at Other-Leo with a glint in her eye. "Maybe I need to have lunch with that immortal. I think she and I might get along after all."

He groaned. "Don't give Lou ideas! I like my beautiful face unbroken!"

"At least that's one thing we got in common!"

Everyone in the garage turned around to face the new speaker. Zac squealed when he recognized the short and muscled form of his father. "Papi!"

"Hey, mijo!" The two Valdezes hugged. Espie joined in.

When the moment was over, Leo slapped Espie upside the head. "What were you thinking?" he growled. "You scared me to death, running off with Zac like that to another universe! Do you have any idea how your mother would have reacted if she found out about this?"

Other-Leo walked up and sized Espie's father up. Lou did the same.

She turned to her husband. "Where are your muscles? I swear, I think I got the wrong Leo."

Charlie laughed, glancing at Tulio. Espie was baffled by how similar they looked, with their eyes being the only difference.

Other-Leo's lips formed a thin line. He looked rather uncomfortable. "I'm not sure I like a muscle-y me."

Leo looked his reflection up and down. "I'm not sure I'd like to stay as scrawny as my teenage self."

Charlie raised his hand. "Dad! Other-Dad! I got a question!"

Leo apparently hadn't seen Charlie yet, because he had a look of surprise when the teen boy came into view. "Um...okay?"

"Can you breathe fire?"

Other-Leo rolled his eyes. "We talked about this, Charlie."

"Well, yeah, you can't breathe fire, Dad." Charlie shrugged. "But since this Dad is more muscle-y and different, I wanna see if I have a shot." He turned to Leo. "So, can you breathe fire? Can you?"

Leo put his finger to his chin. "Huh...I don't know, I've never tried."

Espie was suddenly curious. She sucked in a huge breath and aimed her head at Tulio (just in case). She summoned some fire to the inside of her mouth and spit it out. A fireball flew out and hit Tulio in the face.

Her twin yelped in alarm and fell into a project, knocking it (and him) to the ground. Espie slapped her knee in fun. "Aw, yeah! It's totally possible!"

Leo cocked an eyebrow. "There you go. Question answered."

"But that doesn't mean you can," Charlie whined.

"But you wanted to see if you had a shot at being able to do it," his father said.

Charlie stomped his foot. "Well sure, and you can totally bet that I'll be trying that later. But I want to know if Dad, in any incarnation, can breathe fire!"

Both Leos shrugged. Espie's father acted like he was going to burp for a second, then spat out an ember. He and Other-Leo looked at it curiously. It flickered out.

Espie burst out laughing. "Wow, Papi. You suck!"

Leo grumbled and crossed his arms. Other-Leo shook his head, muttering, "This is why you don't answer your kids' challenges."

Charlie bounced up and down. "Espie, you need to teach me how to do that. I totally need to one-up Dad!"

Lou rolled her eyes. "Maybe later, Curls." She looked at Leo again. "So, you're the Leo that decided to marry Calypso."

Leo smiled. "To be fair, I've never met you, so please don't think I'm betraying you."

"If ya can raise three good kids like them," she said, pointing to Espie, Tulio, and Zac. "Then as far as I'm concerned, you're still good."

Other-Leo sighed. "So, you aren't gonna hurt me for marrying Calypso?"

She smacked him. "I'll hurt you, dear husband, if you keep mentioning it."

"I'm hungry," Zac complained. "Food?"

Other-Leo shrugged. "Why not? Anyone up for a bacon sandwich? They're my specialty!"

Both Valdez families entered the house, ready to eat.

A/N: Well, everyone's met, now!

But wait...what about the mirror?
