Forever || Leo Valdez x Reader || Book 1

Ugh, this bitch-

(TW: Mention of SA)

"You abandoned meee," Dad whined, dramatically clutching onto my arm with a hand on his heart. "How could you?!"

I rolled my eyes, swatting him off. "I just went off to go get dressed for food. Also, you look ridiculous. Like a dam kid."

Dad scoffed, pushing his sunglasses up his nose. "Puh-lease, I look hot. Also, I'm trying to look like a teen so I fit in with you lot."

With the sheer size of that head? Yeah, right. I've seen football jocks with smaller egos.

"-wait, is that... Jason?"

"Huh? Oh wait, yeah- you didn't hear?"

But Dad was no longer listening to me as he barrelled right up to Jason, slapping him across the face before hugging him tight and starting to bawl like a baby.

"I HATE YOU, HOW COULD YOU, YOU DUMBASS- I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD-"

...Wow. I guess the dramaticness is genetic.

Jason blinked, looking down at the golden-blond whirlwind that had just slapped him and was now crying into his shoulder. "....Apollo?"

Dad screamed something incoherent, punching Jason in the chest before breaking into a fresh storm of tears.

Jason shot me a helpless look, but I just grinned at him. You're on your own, buddy.

But turns out Jason was NOT on his own, cause a certain sing-song voice came out of nowhere.

"YOOOOOO- IS THAT APOLLO?"

Dad's crying cut off abruptly as he looked up, horrified. "Oh me, I know that voice..."

"YOU REMEMBER ME!!" Jack screeched, popping up out of the fifth dimension. "HIIIIIIII-"

You know what, Magnus will arrive and rescue Dad. I'm hungry.

I quietly slipped away from the scene, running off to the dining pavilion. Gracie spotted me first, running up and handing me a muffin. 

"I saved this for you- where's dad?"

Oh, this little angel-

"Dad encountered Jack. So, I betrayed him."

"Traitor," Dad muttered from behind me, gently shoving my shoulder as he walked up with Alex, Jason, and Magnus. "You betrayed me twice since you woke up."

"Muffin?" I asked, holding it up to him. But as he tried to reach out for it, I quickly snatched it away, sticking my tongue out before taking a big bite.

"Oh, you little-"

"Y/N."

Ugh, her.

I turned around, smiling sweetly. "Yes, Calypso?"

Calypso rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. "Where's Leo?"

Probably in Bunker 9, but I ain't gonna tell you that.

So, I scoffed, crossing my arms. "How would I know? I'm not his babysitter."

Calypso's jaw dropped, and she tossed her hair, snapping at me. "Don't give me that attitude! I'll have you know that I'm a goddess!!"

"Titaness," I corrected. "But you're a mortal now. Daughter of Atlas, banished to Ogygia as punishment for supporting the Titans in the First Titanomachy. Girl, I know all about you, so do I need to continue about how you forced Odysseus to stay with you, keeping him from his wife for seven years all while making him sleep with you against his will?" 

I turned to the others in the dining pavilion and shrugged. "In case it hasn't sunk in yet, this girl has SA'ed someone."

Everyone gasped, their hands flying to their mouths in shock as whispers broke out in all directions. Alex looked stunned, Magnus' eyes looked ready to pop out of his head, Will dropped the fork he was feeding Nico with, and Percy quickly hid behind Annabeth, while Chiron facepalmed, Mr D looked mildly amused, and Dad just looked at me with his jaw on the floor.

Calypso flinched, reeling back as the weight of everyone's horrified looks bore down on her. Not knowing what to do, she let out a sob, running away with her face buried in her hands.

No one spoke up for a while, until finally, someone stuttered out. "H-how.... what... is that true?"

"Yes," Malcolm said, adjusting his glasses as the other Athena kids nodded, their expressions grim. "But Y/N, where did you learn that..?"

I shrugged. "Overly Sarcastic Productions. Oh, and EPIC: The Musical."

A pause, and then-

"OH MY GODS, I LOVE THAT ONE-"

"Yeah, this is my daughter, alright."

"HEY, PEOPLE!! WE NEED A STAGE VERSION OF THAT!!"

Hang on, that's a brilliant idea.....

I looked up at Dad, who grinned and raised his voice to announce to the others. "Winter solstice meeting, Olympus. It's fall now, so we'll have enough time to prepare. I'll convince the other gods."

"YEAH!!!"
