Night POV

LEO. LEO. LEO.

I. Get. To. See. Leo.

Just up that hill is my little brother, who I haven't seen for nearly eight years.

"Leo!"

"IS ANYBODY THERE?"

"Leo?!"

"BRO?!"

He came over the hill looking better than ever. His hair tangled in impossible curls. That blinding troublemaker grin. Glowing necklace, tan skin and pointy elf ears.

I dashed up the hill, my team following behind.

Once I reached the top, I crashed into him, my hug knocking him back.

He tripped and we fell, laughing as we were tumbling down the hill. Once we reached the bottom, I launched to my feet, pulling him with me. A large crowd was at the bottom of the hill, watching our reunion.

I could hear my family laughing behind me. Probably at me.

Our necklaces clinked together and stopped glowing. Then they stopped magnetizing and returned to normal. I laughed. So did Leo. He looked like his usual happy, annoying self.

I couldn't help but hug him again.

"Man, what was that for?" He grinned.

"For not being a jerk when I came back."

Then he hugged me. "And what was that for?"

"For coming back."

"Also..." I said. He raised his eyebrows.

I grabbed his arm and judo flipped him. Some of the crowd winced. The gods flashed in with the romans, the amazons, and the Hunters.

"What was THAT for?..." Leo groaned.

"Cause I missed you little bro."

"Ow. That makes no sense. At all..." He held up an arm.

I grabbed his arm and pulled him up, then flipped him again.

Everybody laughed, and I could almost feel my team shake their heads at me.

"That one was just cause."

I left him on the ground.

I walked back up the hill towards my team, who were all just standing there.

Leo scrambled up and after me.

Lazuli ran to Leo and picked him up in a crushing hug.

"I MISSED YOU MAN. THERE IS VERY LITTLE SASS WHERE WE COME FROM..." Lazuli fake sobbed.

After he was put down, Blazer walked up to Leo.

He didn't say anything. He just stood there looking at him.

"Leo?" His voice cracked. Leo looked nervous.

"Uh, who is this?" He chuckled. Blazer deflated. I put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hold on..." I told him. I turned to Leo. "Don't freak. Ready?" I asked him.

"Don't know what for, so I guess." He shrugged. I took a deep breath and concentrated. Alright.

I put one finger between his eyes. "Disperse."

The magic cleared the mist from his eyes and also the charms.

"Whoa."

"Can you see my face now?" I asked. He nodded. Okay good.

"Like I said, don't freak." I moved out of the way.

Blazer and Leo stood face to face. It was silent for a few seconds.

"Are you..."
"You? No. I'm me. I'm not Lea either."

"So you're...you're..." He seemed confused.

"Not dead."

Silence.

"Okay, confusing enough for me. Let's just be bros."

"If the fact remains that I'm the oldest..."
".....Fine."
"Then Bros." They hugged.

"I've been waiting forever to meet you again. You wouldn't believe how long..."

"It's cool man." Leo said grinning. "Now there's two times the hotness!" He lit his hand on fire.

"Smokin." Blazer agreed, forming wisps of smoke around them.

Leo's eyes got as big as saucers. "Awesome." He stated.
"Totally." He put an arm around his shoulders.

"But then there's the rest of you're family..." He trailed off.

I smiled. My family.

"Hey, where is she? Is she here?" Leo asked impatiently.

"No, She was...kinda mad. At me." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly.

"What did you do?" He laughed.

I grimaced, "I don't wanna say."

"But just so you know, she throws books, and you do NOT want to get caught in the crossfire..." Lazuli said, rubbing his head. Leo laughed at him.

Cap shook his head and Leo noticed him.

"Omygod! You're.." He ran up to Cap, who had his arm around Dove.

"You guys are freaking epic!" He pointed at them excitedly. "You died on the... And, and you did the.. AMAZING!!!!"

He suddenly gasped and ran to Gilli and Huntress. He ran his fingers through his hair and grinned.

"Well, ladies. It certainly IS a pleasure to meet you two." Gilli was silently fangirling, and Huntress glared at him.

Lazuli slapped the back of his head. "Hey, you have a girlfriend."

"Yeah so? Can't I tell my sisters they're beautiful?" He laughed.

Tech raised his eyebrows. "Well played."

"Well, I try. You are?" Leo asks.

"I'm M-Tech. I work with all electronic equipment and weapon control. I heard you built a flying warship?" He asked excitedly.

Leo nodded. "Sure did. My friends and I built it in like, a few months."

"Cool. Can you give me a few ideas for new weapons, or some blueprints? I could help upgrade your ship if you want!" Tech pleaded.

"Sure, man. Whatever you need."
He looked at Heros and Anger who were listening intently.

"You dudes look awesome. Wicked battle scars, dudes." The both smiled at him. They are usually very touchy about their scars.

Angeli waved him over and squished him in a giant hug.

"Oh, I've always wanted to meet you. You're even CUTER IN PERSON." She pinched at his cheeks like an old woman and cooed at him.

He wrenched away, holding his face. He smiled and shook his head. "She is one crazy sister."

"You have no idea." I stated.

"Night, that's mean. And why did you judo flip Leo?" Angeli frowned.

"I flipped him twice." I correct her.

"Why do you seem proud of that?" Rare asked.

"Cause it felt good. You should try it sometime."

"You must be the neutral party. My name is Master McShizzle and I dub thee, the Neutral Partier." Leo said in a funny voice.

Rare broke into a smile. "I like this guy."

"Nice to meet you too." Leo smirked.

"And your outfits!" He gasped.

"You mean our mission suits?" I asked.

"Those are just for a mission?! So you get cooler clothes all the time!?"

"Well so do you." Captain said.

"I DO?!"

"Yep. Portal. Leo Valdez. Mission suit. Open." He said.

A portal opened right in front of him.

"Whoa! Can I do that?!"
"No." Cap pushed him into the portal. He exploded into stars and the portal closed.

"Ya think he freaked out?" Rare asked.

Lazuli shook his head. "Nah, he's a cup half full kinda guy."

The portal opened back up and Leo sparkled put and was wearing his new mission suit.

He had on orange, gray, and white camo pants, black boots, a long sleeve black galaxy shirt with orange and red galaxy print, an orange sleeveless jacket with a hood, and black fingerless gloves.

"Yo! That was AWESOME!" He screamed.
He looked down at himself. "I didn't think it was possible, but I look hotter."

"Thanks man!"

"No pro." Cap shrugged. Tech frowned.

"That's my line..."

Leo then walked forward and spread his arms like, Welcome my children.

"This is my family." He told the gods and campers.

I walked forward and slung my arm around him.

"We are here to help you guys not die." I stated blandly.

"Mess with Leo, deal with us." Lazuli threatened.

The campers stayed silent, but the team all laughed loudly.

Someone pushed to the front of the campers.

I frowned as Lazuli growled, and Gilli hissed.

"Who are you? You think that just because Leo called you here that we ALL need your help? We don't want you here." Annabeth hissed.

Leo started to say something, but Gilli yanked him back.

"Please. Let me." She said. He shrugged.

She walked down the hill and stood nose to nose with her.

"How dare you." Gilli sneered.

"I've done nothing to you. We don't want your-"

"SHUT IT, ANNABITCH." Annabeth shut up, shocked.

"HOW DARE YOU. PERCABETH WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING. HOW COULD YOU JUST USE PERCY LIKE THAT, HE LOVED YOU! ALL THE FANGIRLS WILL FLAME ON YOU'RE ASS BECAUSE YOU BROKE HIS HEART! Am I right or am I right? " Gilli screamed at her.

Aphrodite and her children nodded, and us on the hill agreed too. Lazuli was just amazed at how Gilli was acting.

"SO NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY A PERFECTLY GOOD BOY -" What are we, toys? "- KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANOTHER FOR CHRISTMAS, BECAUSE SANTA KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A HO, HO, HELLO! AND GOODBYE!"

She stormed back up the hill and stood behind me. "You done?" I asked.

She nodded. "All better now." Leo looked at her weird.

"Ookay....by the way, nice name. I think it'll stick!" He laughed.

Athena cleared her throat and everyone turned to look at her. She looked happy under all the the attention.

"Like said before by my daughter, whom you just fully degraded..." She glanced at Annabeth, who was fuming silently. "As asked before, Who are you?"
