"Umm.... Oliver?" Adam asked. He waved his hand in Oliver's face before sighing. "Leo?"
"Got it," Leo set his hand on fire and I jumped back and hid behind Maddy.
"Are you ok?" Leo asked and put his hand out. Maddy looked at me too.
"Yea. It's just..... I'm not a fan of fire." I shivered. It wasn't deadly. I just didn't like it.
Leo shrugged before putting his flaming hand in Oliver's face.
I slowly crept around Maddy's side and watched.
Oliver jumped five feet and pushed Leo back. Leo fell in top of me with his hand still on fire.
"Crap! Crap! Crap!" He yelled and stood. "So sorry..."
I patted out the flames. My shirt was completely burnt off and my torso had red marks in the shape of hands.
"It's ok.... Oliver pushed you," I said. He reached out a hand an I took it. Leo pulled me up and started inspecting me.
"Nice chest," he smirked. I shrugged. He pulled off his shirt, which was a plain orange tee shirt, and handed it to me.
"Thanks," I said and pulled it on. It smelled like toasted marshmallows. I put he collar of it over my nose and took a deep breath.
"Smell good?" Leo asked. I blushed and pulled the shirt down. I noticed everyone else was just staring at me. Well, almost everyone. Oliver and Maddy were making out. Ew.
I noticed Leo's stomach was super chiseled. He had abs, and I could see his muscles. He was tan, and he had curly hair that I wanted to run my fingers through.
"Lets go back to the Argo," He said. Adam and Nico nodded.
"Let me get the leeches first," Adam chuckled and pulled on Oliver's shoulder.
Oliver pulled away and grabbed Maddy's hand before following the rest of us outside.
"I'm surprised you're just walking away with us," Leo marveled.
"Yea. But, I kinda have to take my sister with me. I don't trust my adopted dad to take care of her yet," I said. Leo nodded.
"Where to?"

LEO
First things first. Kaycee is hot.
Second, I didn't want her to put her chest away, but I didn't want random strangers drooling.
Third. OMFSSS, she reminds me of Oliver so much. Honestly, she looks nothing like him, but still.
I wrote the address on my arm, and about crapped myself when I realized this is where Oliver told me he lived. Or, where he used to live.
We climbed onto the boat and Kaycee followed me to the control room (which, btw, was her choice). She helped me find her house and we parked above it. She looked paler than in the school in the air, but it could just be the lights.
"Why don't you come help me?" She asked.
"S-sure," I stuttered as we walked across the boat. She smile as we climbed off the boat, and when we got to the ground she grabbed my hand (again, her choice) and dragged me to the door.
She opened the door and the house looked like the average mortal house. I heard small feet running on the ground as a small, four-year-old girl with the same copper hair ran over.
"You're home!" she smiled and hugged Kaycee. Kaycee smiled.
"Zoë, this is Leo. Leo, this is my little sister Zoë."
Zoë looked at me.
"Is he your boyfriend or something? And why isn't he wearing a shirt?" She asked. I blushed.
"Well, he let me borrow his since mine got burnt off," Kaycee said, looking down at Zoë and looking the least bit fazed. "Listen Zoë, we're going on a trip. I want you to go pack your clothes and Stuffy and come right back here. Understood?"
Zoë nodded. "Yes ma'am," she said and ran back to her room, her copper locks flying behind her.
"She's adorable," I said.
Kaycee laughed before waking off.
"C'mon. I need your help."

I was now rolling a suitcase and wearing my own shirt as Kaycee rolled a smaller suitcase and carried Zoë and wore one of her own shirts.
We climbed back into the ship.
"Come with me."
I pushed a button on the wall and a conch horn sounded in the ship. We walked to the meeting room and sat for a little bit while everyone trickled in.
"So guys, these are the demigods that are joining us today! Why don't you two introduce yourselves?"
Kaycee nodded. "I'm Kaycee Zhang, and this is my sister, Zoë Zhang."
Everyone stared with wide-eyes at her. Everyone except for Oliver, who wasn't there.
