DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN HoO!

Leo Valdez~*

        The first thing Leo registered when he came to, was that something that sounded like a cross between a weed whacker and a pig was making a racket in his ear.

       Leo peeled his sandy eyes back, and saw his best friend Piper sitting beside him sound asleep. She had her head rested on the mattress next to him, and she slumped over precariously in a uncomfortable looking wooden chair. Piper had bags under her red-rimmed eyes, and her hair was in complete disarray. It broke his heart to see his friend so obviously upset.

        Then a sudden flurry of memories came rushing back to him. Mormo, poison, the compass. He was supposed to be dead. He bolted up and looked around the room. Instantly his mind registered the familiar sight of the ships infirmary. Cautiously, Leo lifted up hem of the blanket. A sigh if relief escaped his lips. He had been expecting a bloody wound surrounded by green veins, instead their was a small cut with a few stitches. Nothing that wouldn't heal over time.

        His gasp must have woken her up, because Piper shot up and stared at Leo in partial shock. Before he could even throw out a joke her arms were wrapped in a death grip around him. "Leo, thank heavens your alright! You gave me a heart attack, I thought you died."

        "I can't say I'm not surprised either. What happened?" Piper opened her mouth just as the door flew open.

        "Hello young demigod! No need to stare at me like that, after all It's bad to look into the sun. Though, I can't blame you, I am stunningly gorgeous. Tis a burden and a gift. How are you feeling? No pain? Bleeding? Weird cravings for anchovies on you pizza?" A man with hair as bright as gold, blue eyes, and teeth that any dentist would kill for strutted into the room like he owned it.

        Leo eyed him slightly bemused. "I feel fine. No pain. No bleeding. But anchovies do sound good. Now may I ask,  who in the heck are you and what are you doing on my ship?"

        The man flashed a toothy grin nearly blinding Leo. "I am Lord Apollo. Though, I also go by Handsome, Gorgeous, and sometimes even, I Wish I Were You."

        Leo blanched. "Your a god?!"

        Piper whacked him on the head. "Yes he is, and he saved your life."

        Apollo rested a hand on Piper's shoulder. "Yes I did save his life, and I would greatly appreciate if you refrained from hurting my patient further. Now I must return to the deck, please call on me if your craving for anchovies gets any worse. Chow." And just as quickly as he came, Apollo left.

        Leo turned to Piper. "What's he doing here?"

        "Well after your little incident, I tried to stop the bleeding. It wasn't working you handed me this little thingamabob," She said holding up the item that was Leo's last chance at finding Calypso again. "And then you promptly stopped breathing, scaring me to my death." Piper looked at him agitatedly. "Just when I thought that I was about to have to dig you shroud out from the bottom of my closet, Apollo showed up. Then Hephestus, and Athena, and Aphrodite, and Ares, and then Artemis showed up and whacked Apollo on the head. Now we have a ship full of immortals, and I can sorta see why Percy hates them so much. After two and a half hours of constant arguing, I came down here to check on you and get away from their bickering. Oh and Annabeth, Hazel and Frank still aren't back yet and I'm getting worried."

        Leo snatched the object from Piper's hand. "So your telling me we have a boat full of gods who are in the middle of an identity crisis on our ship, and you left them alone?" Piper looked flustered.

        "You were unconscious! You didn't have to listen to their relentless bickering! They're worse than children!"

        "Fine. Fine. I see your point," there was a brief lull in the conversation until Leo spoke up. "So how long was I out? Are Hazel, Annabeth, and Frank back? What about Percy and Jason?"

        Piper looked a little sad. "No. Nobody's back. I really am starting to worry."

        Leo tried for a smile, but it probably came off as more of a grimace. "I'm sure they're fine. Percy and Jason  can handle themselves. They're children of the big three for Zeus's sake. And the others are probably just running a little late."

        Piper smirked. "I hope that when this is all said and done we can look through Greece a little. Go sight seeing. Maybe even go back to Venice since Percy and Annabeth didn't get to see it."

        "I'm sure the others will love that idea."

        "I think so too. Leo, I think we should head up to the deck, if your able to that is, we don't want to leave those guys alone too long."

        Leo pushed himself up, and was happy to realize that there was no pain. "I'm good. Let's head on up!" He swung his legs out of bed, and was about to walk out the door when Piper stopped him.

        "Umm, Leo. Before you go and make your first impression on the Olympians, I'd put on some clothes." Leo looked down and realized he was only in his sleep shorts. He could feel his face turning a glaringly bright shade of scarlet.

        Piper walked up and handed him a pair of jeans and a white shirt. "Here you are Repair Boy. Your tool belts on table next to the bed." She avoided looking at him, and stalked out of the room.

        He quickly dressed in the clothes Piper gave him, and hooked his tool belt around his waist. Leo spotted his shoes and a helmet at the end of the bed, and tugged those on too. After the last lace was tied, he sprinted up the stairs. Feeling completely rejuvenated.

        When he burst out onto the deck, Leo was about to throw out a sarcastic comment about the view when he noticed Piper kneeling on the ground. Her head was bent and slight glint of fear was in her eyes. And looking up Leo saw a man with black hair and eyes that sparkled like cobalt. Leo thought he looked familiar, he just couldn't place it.

        Suddenly a spark flew from his finger tips. Leo only knew two people who could do that...

        Jason and Thalia.

        Leo dropped to his knees and in a quite voice murmured, "Welcome to my ship. It's an honor to have you here, Lord Zeus."

        Leo really hoped Jason got back soon.

        Yay! There you guys have it! Leo is not dead, and I actually did his POV without completely messing it up! Double whammy! Thank you all so much for reading, I nearly died when I saw how many people had read this. Let alone comment! I can't thank you guys enough! Also thank you everyone who has followed me. In the past couple of weeks I might not have been able to leave you guys an actual thank you, since I took a small break from wattpad. So I shall say it now. Thank you!
