❝jason lets loose a bunch of gas!
(yeah, that does NOT sound heroic)❞
『V A L E N T I N A』☆
━━━Valentina Maximus has had quite enough.
First, she finds out that her crush (now, ex-crush) has an emotional connection with someone else. Second, she discovers that her uncle is on the brink of death. Third, her little cousin falls into Tartarus. Fourth, she gets marked with some strange symbol that she does not understand. Fifth, she is forced to admit her crush on Reyna in front of Jason and some guy she hardly knew. And sixth, she also had to witness that guy she hardly knew yet cared for be forced to come out, thanks to the love god Cupid. Seventh, Leo Valdez has been cast away into the clouds thanks to some snowy bitch Valentina has never met before and is presumed dead. Eighth, a bomb sends them all the way to the coast of Africa, backtracking their entire trip, when they had been just hours away from saving Regina, Percy, and Annabeth.
Now, they're stuck at some wind god's palace, thousands of miles from Regina, Percy, and Annabeth, with no sign of Leo, and they are highly unlikely of getting out of here alive.
Valentina has had enough.
She feels nothing but anger and resentment━towards who, she is not sure. Perhaps the Fates, for making her life so fucking difficult. Perhaps the gods, for making them go on this damn quest in the first place. Perhaps Gaea, for deciding this century to be the one she made her grand debut. Or perhaps everything and everyone for making her entire life a smelly piece of dog shit taken out of a dumpster pile.
All that stuff she just named? Yeah. That's all happened in the last three weeks.
(Fuck her life.)
If Leo Valdez does turn out to be alive, she is going to slap him so hard, that he's going to fly into the clouds once again and land next week in Bora Bora.
How dare he make her worry. How dare he be probably-maybe-no-one-knows-for-sure dead, and leave them with no supreme commander of the Argo II. How dare he make her cry out of worry. How dare he make her unable to eat out of worry (she has thrown up every meal for the last five days. It has not been pleasant). How dare he even━
Okay, so maybe she isn't just angry. Maybe she is a bit worried, too. (Just a tiny bit!)
Piper managed to pull her out of bed with some encouraging comments that she probably pulled out of her ass. Valentina appreciates it, and she appreciates Piper for saving the ship and (almost) all of their lives, all by herself. But Valentina does not feel like doing this anymore.
