HE CAME OVER WITH three plates stacked on his arms like a waiter, and Penelope walked beside him, already munching on her beef tacos. Jason had no idea where he'd gotten all the food, or how he'd put it together so fast, but it looked amazing: pepper and beef tacos with chips and salsa.

"Leo," Piper said in amazement. "How did you-?"

"Chef Leo's Taco Garage is fixing you up!" he said proudly. "And by the way, it's tofu, not beef, beauty queen, so don't freak. Just dig in!"

Jason wasn't sure about tofu, but the tacos tasted as good as they smelled, but he wasn't so sure about the dead face Penelope had drawn with a little McDonald sauce packet they gave you, and she hadn't even bothered to make it good. While they ate, Leo tried to lighten the mood and joke around. Jason was grateful Leo was with them. It made being with Piper a little less intense and uncomfortable. At the same time, he kind of wished he was alone with her; but he chided himself for feeling that way.

After Piper ate, Jason encouraged her to get some sleep. Without another word, she curled up and put her head in his lap. In two seconds she was snoring.

Jason looked up at Leo, who had his head on Penelope's shoulder, who were obviously trying not to laugh.

"Bro got to second base fooling her about their first base." Penelope said.

"Fuck off" Jason groaned. "Doze off"

Penelope agreed, surprisingly.

She stood up at sudden, making Leo's head wobble in air for a second. Jason stiffled a laugh, cause Piper was snoring off right on his lap. He did not need another girl angry at him after mama bitch.

Not surprising.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, drinking lemonade Leo had made from canteen water and powdered mix.

"Good, huh?" Leo grinned.

"You should start a stand," Jason said. "Make some serious coin."

But as he stared at the embers of the fire, something began to bother him. "Leo ... about this fire stuff you can do ... is it true?"

Leo's smile faltered. "Yeah, well ..." He opened his hand. A small ball of flame burst to life, dancing across his palm.

"That is so cool," Jason said. "Why didn't you say anything?"

Leo closed his hand and the fire went out. "Didn't want to look like a freak."

"I have lightning and wind powers," Jason reminded him. "Piper can turn beautiful and charm people into giving her BMWs. Penelope is a useless human torch who owns atomic arrows."

Jason then heard something not so pleasing.

"Shut the fuck up Grace," Penelope groaned with a sleepy voice. He hadn't realised but Penelope had lied down on Leo's legs with her hands behind comforting her head.

"For your very kind information I also am a doctor. I can ver professionaly and unethically break all the 206 bones in your body while naming them."

"B U R N N N ! " Leo said out loud. Piper groaned, turning her head as Jason pushed Piper's head back on his lap as he laughed.

"The point is," Jason continued. "You're no more a freak than we are. And, hey, maybe you can fly, too. Like jump off a building and yell, 'Flame on!'"

Leo snorted. "If I did that, you would see a flaming kid falling to his death, and I would be yelling something a little stronger than 'Flame on!' Trust me, Hephaestus cabin doesn't see fire powers as cool. Nyssa told me they're super rare. When a demigod like me comes around, bad things happen. Really bad."
