The House of Hades

Jokes, Tacos and Family

Jason

"So, what do you call a fish with no eyes?"

Piper had rolled her eyes and went downstairs once Leo had cracked out the jokes. She claimed to be checking on Atlanta and Frank , who had been injured  but Jason suspected she was just trying to get as far away from Leo's 'hilarious' jokes.

Hazel wrinkled her nose. "Uh, blind?"

"Mm, um." Leo shook his head.

"A Vlacas, like you?"

Leo stuck his tongue out at Jason. "No, not an idiot."

"I give up," Jason lied. He just wanted to stop hearing jokes.

"Okay, okay, fsh."

"Geisundtit." Hazel said politely.

Leo laughed so hard he fell out of his cushy chair.

They had came back to the ship after the remaining two giants had escaped. Apollo had gone downstairs, and as the god of healing, he was currently healing Frank and Atlanta. Atlanta had been thrown into a tree and hit her head. Frank had gotten his foot cut up. The other campers had followed the giants in hot pursuit, after saying goodbye. They said they had gotten to Greece from Apollo's sun chariot.

Grover had left with the saytrs, not saying a word to anyone except Jason. "When you find them, tell me."

He had meant Percy and Annabeth, obviously, and Jason had begun to wonder what was going on down in hell.

Thalia had hugged Jason goodbye. After he had remembered tht Thalia had been injured at the fight with the Greeks and Romans, Apollo healed her with a touch. Thalia patted Piper on the back, had smiled at Hazel and Frank, and glared at Leo. Then she had left wih the hunters.

 Jason stood. "Leo, whats for dinner?"

Leo was laughing to hard to answer.

Hazel just looked really confused.

Leo finally stopped and laid on the ground crying happily for a few moments. Then he stumbled to his feet. "Tacos!" He ran to the galley.

Piper came upstairs looking grim, supporting  a wobbly Atlanta as she walked. Frank, with a cast on his foot, followed behind with Apollo.

Jason raised an eyebrow at Apollo.

He grinned. "I'll be off soon, I just have one questio-"

"HEY!" Leo called, sticking his head out from the galley. "I have a question too. Why aren't you all "GREEK/ROMAN"."

Apollo grinned brighter. "My name's the same in Greek and Roman. Simple, huh?"

Atlanta smiled at her father.

Apollo nodded. "Anyway, my question is, how is the whole, 'Group of 7' working out for all of you?"

Jason looked around. "Good. It's 5......now."

Piper swallowed.

Leo came from the kitchen. "You could call us a family, I'd be the-"

"Weird cousin everyone avoids at family reuinions?" Piper snickered.

Leo looked a bit offenceded, and Jason remembered when Khoine had visited.

Leo regained his usual happy demanior and stuck out his tongue at Piper.

"Anyway, we're family."

"Family doesn't try to steal your girlfriend." Frank murmured, only loud enough for Jason to hear.

"She broke up with you man, let it go."

Apollo was still grinning. "I must be off! I suppose my daughter will explain the blessin-"

"Yeah." Piper and Atlanta both interrupted.

Apollo shot a finger gun a everyone and vanished.

"Down to business." Atlanta said.
