"Valdez, if I fall and die I will come back from the Underworld and haunt you until you die. Then I'll make sure you're reborn so I can continue tormenting you." Melody threatened through gritted teeth.

"If you fell, I could just fly down and catch you." Jason said as they descended over New Rome.

Panicked New Rome citizens screamed in terror and fled as Festus landed just outside the Pomeranian Line. Centries aimed flaming arrows at them from the walls of Camp Jupiter, crossbones were readied, and scorpion ballista were trained on them.

"Anyone order a Super-Sized McShizzle and co.?" Leo called, arms spread and a goofy, broad smile on his face.

Then Reyna marched forward, in full armor and Toga, eyes flaming.

"Valdez, you never said you were going to land on a gigantic metal dragon!" Reyna yelled.

Leo shrugged.

"Sorry!" He called, but he didn't sound very sorry.

Melody whacked him upside the head with her metal cane.

"Leo, you idiot!" She hissed.

"Ouch! Jason, control your girlfriend! I'm too beautiful to die!" Leo wailed.

Jason stifled laughter.

"Sorry, Leo. You're on your own."

"I like this one." Reyna commented, reaching a hand up to help Melody off Festus. Jason climbed off after them, but Leo stayed on.

"Valdez, if you set my city on fire again, I will sick Arugnum and Argenteum on you. With pleasure." Reyna threatened.

Leo yelped as he fell backwards off Festus, landing in an undignified heap on the cobblestones.

"Hey, wait! Melody, if your blind, how did you know where my head was?" Leo asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Your head emits waves of stupidity. They attract my hand like a magnet." Melody retorted, earning a small smile from Reyna.

Maybe she was human after all, Melody thought.
