When Dad (I decided that it would just be best to face it) finally came out of his shock, he lead us inside, telling us to leave the chariot. We removed our armor and left it with the chariot. Dad lead us to a large open living room area with a bar.

"Um," he said, "don't go back there," he gestured to the bar. Leo waggled his eyebrows.

"Now you've tempted me," he said mischievously. I elbowed him in the side, since he was no longer protected by armor. Dad looked at him.

"So who are you again?" He asked Leo, "and why are you here? Not that I'm not," he looked at me, "excited and relieved to see you alive," he glanced away, "I looked for 6 years, Alyssa, I never stopped."

"Well after the depressing tidbit," Leo exclaimed, "I'm Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus, savior of Olympus, freer of Hera, fire user, tamer of Festus, builder of the Argo II, and defeater of Gaea," he said all with a proud air about him. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Was the whole title really needed, Leo?" I asked. He grinned.

"Yep!" He grinned at me then Dad. Dad blanched.

"Hephaestus! Like the god?" He squeaked.

"Oh, yeah," I said, smirking, "Greek god of blacksmiths, fire, and forges."

"And our father," Leo put in, "wait... Should I have said that?" He looked to me. I face-palmed.

"I am Alyssa's father," Dad protested.

"Nuh-uh," Leo said like a kid.

"Leo!" I yelled, "yes, Tony Stark is my father, yes, Hephaestus is my father. Deal with it! I have two dads! Now shut up!" Leo saluted me.

"Yes, sir- I mean ma'am!" He yelled.

"Two dads!? Hephaestus? Greek gods!" Dad yelled, "what are you talking about?"

"Oh, Dad" I said, "I have a very good story for you."
