This is Me. (Lea Valdez getting to know you!)

Oh. NO. SHE. DIDN'T!

*(General P.O.V)*

It was Just a regular night on the Argo 2. Percy was making little and random things with his powers, Annabeth leaning against him reading one of her many books. Hazel was bobbing her head up and down to the music, playing. Leona REALLY loves her Becky G and J. Lo. Jason and Piper were just talking about any and everything while they ate. Frank was drinking something while mindlessly sketching on paper. Leona was muttering something in her native tounge, Spanish,and fiddling with one of her many gadgets.

One moment everything was calming, next thing they knew her Royal Annoyingness (Hera/Juno) appears on the table having the nerve to look down right snobby. Annabeth went for her dagger, Percy pulling Riptide out, same with Jason, summoning his sword. Piper also went for her dagger, Hazel grabbed her sword, Frank notched a few arrows into his bow. Only Leona's response was casual. She simply looked up, rolled her eyes, went back to her project and said: "Hola, Tia. What's up?" She got a few confused stares aimed at her. Hera/Juno knelt next to Leona, placed a hand on her tanned shoulder, causing the waist length brunette Latina to flinch.

"I know you are all on a very important quest, but it has come to my attention that you all know very little about Leona Valdez." With a flick of her wrist, a small blue disked shaped device appeared on the table. "This device consists of Leona's main memories you should see that are very important. A spell was casted on your chaperone, so he will stay in his room either sleeping or watching one of those Chuck Norris movies he loves so much. No one will be able to leave this room until this is ALL over. And it will pause when you're not looking, so if Leona needs to be comforted, none of you will miss anything. Leona, I made it so if you don't want to watch it'll keep going even if you're not paying attention. I know you don't want anyone to see these, but it'll bring you all closer as friends. Goodbye, heroes. Leona, you're going to thank me-!" She disappeared when a blazing hot fireball came flying at her.

"Lea? You okay?" Her hair was blazing and some of the ends were levitating in the air, her eyes were a bright orange-ish colors. Percy placed a hand on her shoulder, wincing as Leona's temperature had increased but not removing his hand, he looked into her angry eyes, and he waited until she calmed down, and uncurled her fists."Remember, Leona. We're here for you." Piper said softly. "Thanks, guys." Her soft Latina voice said. A little ding! brought the demigods to attention. "Let the Memories begin." Percy whispered.

*Beaming up was a 2 year old Leona. She was wearing a My little Pony shirt on, with nothing but a diaper. In walked 2 older versions of Lea. The first one was like 7 years old. She had short light brown hair, and deep brown eyes full of pure joy like Lea. Around her wrist was a yellow band. On it: "Maya R. Valdez., D.O.B. - 8/22/1992. Mother: Esperanza Valdez. Father: Unknown. Admitted: For seizures and asthma attacks." "Hi, hermona pequena! (Little sister in Espanola) ." The girl called out joyously. The older woman was STRIKEINGLY like Leona. Same big beautiful deep brown eyes, and long brown hair in a ponytail. They all shared the mischievous gleam, the elfish ears and bright smile.

"Did you miss Leona, Maya?" The woman asked softly. Both women had that signature Spainard accent.
*Pause flashback*

At the sight of the two older Latinas, Leona let out what seemed to be a mixed of a yelp and sob and buried her face in her hands.
*Continue flashback*

"Sí!" Maya said happily. "Mamí, has she said any new words while I was in the hospital?" Little Leona laughed, and hugged her sister's leg. Mrs.Valdez picked up some cards and both women sat in front of Leona. "Let's see if she has.. Maya want to read the first one?" "Yeah!" came the sweet reply. She picked up a picture of an red car. "Coche rojo. Red car." " Red Car!" Leona replied. Her mother smiled, and picked up the next card. "Hoguear. Campfire." Little Leona had a sly smile on her face. "Campfire." And with that she burst into flames. Maya and Mrs.Valdez both screamed and jumped back. Little Leona's flames went out, and she crawled to her mother, with a worried look on her young face. "Mamí okay? Bien? Hermana okay? Bien?" They both smiled at Leona, and told her they were okay.

The memory paused, as everyone looked at Leona. She still had her face buried in her hands, sobbing quietly. "Was that your mother?" Hazel asked,flinching inwardly at the dumbness of her question. "She is very beautiful." Leona sat up straight in her chair, looked at Hazel, and raised an eyebrow. "Really, Miss Metal Detector?" She chuckled softly.

"I know you're trying to help, but that was seriously a dumb question. Yes, that was mi'ama. And gracias, by the way. Mamí was beautiful." "Who was the girl?" Leona's tears seemed to come a little faster, and she took a shaky breath. "T-That w-was my o-older s-s-sister, Maya Maria Valdez. Why?" "I take it you to where very close?" Piper asked. "Yeah. Other than Dani and Alex, Maya was my best friend." "What happen to her?" Jason wondered. Leona's face instantly hardened, and her hair became flaming once again. "Knowing Hera/Juno, she probably put that in here. But if she didn't, I'll tell you guys. But pay attention. The next damned memory is starting."
