A New Order of Chaos

First Impressions... Sort Of

Calypso was certain that, from everything that Leo told her, she'd love his friends. If they ever saw them again, of course.

That image didn't include watching Leo being flipped by a teen, with feathers in her hair and never-ending changing colored eyes.

"Leo!!" she managed to yell after the flip. The girl was paying no attention to her, because Leo was her main focus.

"If you ever try to play 'being hero' again, Leonardo Valdez, I swear I-"

"You'll what, Beauty Queen?" Leo sassed her, wincing a little in pain, but not moving from his original position "You and Superman over there are gonna lock me up?" His eyes rested for a second in a blonde boy, who was holding tight a golden sword.

"Minimum" The girl, aka Beauty Queen, promised "And, don't you ever call me Beauty Queen again!" she complained, releasing him.

"Noted" Leo winced, getting up "It's nice to see you too, by the way" At those words, the girl broke in tears and hugged him tight. The blonde guy dropped his sword and joined the embrace, Leo patting his back. Calypso took the opportunity to take a look at the couple's comanions.

The first one was a tall boy. He was built, with muscles from training hard, but his skin was not tan, like she expected. His facials were somehow stretch it, making the corner of his warm brown eyes longer than the usual. He was wearing some khaki shorts with some holes in it and a bizarre purple T-shirt with faded words. She could only read 'C p up e '.

The girl who was holding hands with him had a very dark skin tone. As if she was exposed to too much sun and her skin colored like the beans of coffee or chocolate. In comparison with the guy, she was shorter, with a curly brown mane of hair that wasn't tied up. Peaking from the girl's shorts, what it looked like a colorful cloth that made contrast with her, also, purple T-shirt.

The next girl was blonde, her hair long and wavy was in a ponytail, a style Calypso was familiar with, since she'd done it. Her skin was tan and the exposition by the strangely familiar orange T-shirt, showed scar all over her arms. Her eyes were intensely and calculating grey and she felt more analyzed by this girl's glare than under the gods' watching. Her right hand was holding tight what it looked like a knife, but it wasn't made of blade. And her left one was holding another hand, that belonged to the last member of the group.

Calypso did her best to keep her mouth shut.

She was staring at a boy that was around the twenty, twenty one years old. His black raven hair was completely messy, like if that was normal for him. He was muscly, it was obvious underneath all his clothes. He was wearing, like the blonde girl, an orange T-shirt and some jeans and blue sneakers (though, they were covered in mud, so it was hard to guess). But his eyes, his sea green eyes were staring back at her, with the same surprise she was showing him.

"Are you all gonna stand there?!" Leo broke her stare down, oblivious to what was happening. Calypso forced herself to look away and to the people had been hugging.

The blonde guy was, in few words, the image of perfection and discipline. His hair was cut neatly and short. His skin was perfectly tan, not showing line anywhere. He wasn't wearing either purple or orange T-shirt, like the others. Instead, he was wearing a white one (at least, it was white when he put it on) and khaki shorts with navy sneakers. His bright blue eyes were sparking with joy of seeing his friend.

The girl next to him made Calypso really jealous. She was, by far, the most beautiful woman she ever encounter (and she met Aphrodite). Her skin was caramel colored, her hair was cut unevenly, with feathers and little braids around it, and her eyes were ever changing rainbows. She was wearing some red T-shirt, with some short jeans and sneakers. She barely had jewelry on and she was covered in mud all around, like the rest of them.

"You have some explanation to do, Valdez" the blonde girl spoke first, holding tight her grip on the raven haired guy. Calypso refused to open old wounds of hers.

"Starting with why you told Frank and Hazel to let you die!!" the blonde guy demanded, frowning. Leo sighed and nodded, wrapping an arm around her.

"How about we all we sit around the fire?" he proposed, looking around to everyone "I- we have a story to share" he invited them.

~oOo~

"So, let me get this straight..." the guy with the purple T-shirt, Frank, stopped Leo after he told their story. Calypso never dared to open her mouth. She also noticed that the raven haired guy kept quiet the whole tale "In order for you to get her out, you had to die?!"

"Leo, why did you lied to us?!" the chocolate skin girl, Hazel, demanded "You could had told us the truth!!"

"And, for you to stop me?! No, thank you!!" Leo argued, crossing his arms over his chest "Besides, it was the only way to stop Dirt Face!"

"Octavian flew directly to Dirt Face in a ball of fire!!" the girl with never stopping color eyes, Piper, explained to him "Either way, he was gonna die!!"

"Hey, I may not liked the guy, but he didn't deserve go like that!!" Leo defended him. Calypso saw everyone was shocked at his reply "What?!"

"You matured, Leo" the blonde one, Annabeth, muttered for the first time since she was introduced "I guess we expected you to still be goofy"

"Oh, he still is" Calypso assured her, nodding. Leo smirked at her.

"If not, you wouldn't love me" he whispered in her ear. Calypso blushed at that comment, but noticed it was true: the raven haired guy is her past. She can't forget that.

But, Leo is her future. One that she won't let any of them mess up.
