Leo's POV

Okay, okay. Honestly, I think Percy's a bit like Zeus. Jason told me that Zeus is a big drama queen - err, king. It wasn't all that dramatic. Just, you know, melodramatic.

So! Where were we? Right. Leaping from the window before the Avengers decided to torture us into telling them about gods and blah blah blah. Anyways. We jumped, all holding hands. Yeah, I know. Awkward. I held hands with Jason. Jason held hands with Piper. Piper held hands with Annabeth. Annabeth held hands with Percy. And for a great Pernico moment, Percy held hands with an extremely flustered Nico.

Nico made it quick, which was good. He shadow-travelled us away to... oh. Percy's mom's place. By the way, don't try shadow travelling at home, kids. It's not very fun.

Nico collapsed (again) onto Sally's couch, right next to a very surprised Paul Blofis. I waved.

"Greetings! We come in peace!" I said, trying to grin without throwing up. Sally rushed in, brandishing a dangerous-looking spatula. I repeated my greeting to her. 

We made ourselves at home. Those who hadn't put away their armour did. Percy located some amazing blue cookies, so we all had some of those. Paul remained in his shocked position, doing  last Sunday's sudoku. We didn't mind and just crowded around him. I'm not sure he liked that (that's Paul shouting in the distance saying he didn't enjoy it much and that it wasn't on his day plan to be bombarded by teenage demigods. Oh well.)

Nico snored. 

Percy stuffed cookie after cookie in his mouth (seriously, you are seventeen.)

Annabeth assisted (more like corrected) Paul in his sudoku.

Jason watched the street from the living room window. 

Piper was in the bathroom.

And I, the wonderful Leo Valdez (oh my gods I sound like Apollo) sat on the couch bored out of my mind.

Me being ADHD, I did not like sitting on a couch with nothing to do. So in the time, I built another Valdezinator, composed a melody on it, built a second Valdezinator, and then composed a second base. I played it all together, and it sounded like... crap. My lifes work, completely wasted on crap. Oh my gods, I was really starting to sound like Apollo. Paul left, not wanting to hear my ear-splitting sounds.

Percy sighed as his mom took the cookies away. "Now what?" He asked. I remembered that he was ADHD too.

"We run," Piper said, closing the bathroom door behind her. Wonder what took her so long in there.

Jason made a disapproving sound. "Again? I thought Romans were bad enough."

"That was Octavian," Annabeth reminded him. I shuddered. My only regret was that I hadn't seen to Octavians death personally, even though Nico said it wasn't so great.

"We could just hide in camp," I suggested.

Nico shot up like a bullet. "No."

Jason frowned. "Why not? You said you were staying."

Nico didn't answer.

Percy studied Nico critically before agreeing, "Yeah. Besides, we don't want to drag camp into this, do we?"

Everyone nodded. (Meaning they agree.)

"Camp Jupiter?" Piper asked.

Jason shook his head. "No," he told his girlfriend. "That would take too long, and I don't want Nico taking all of us that far of a distance. He could die."

Nico muttered something in disagreement.

"Well," I said. "Anyone got another idea? We could just travel around dodging superheroes."

Nobody protested. So it seemed like we'd come to consensus. Percy looked like he had an idea, though.  He looked at Annabeth as if to say: talk later.

We resumed our activities until Sally came and made us beds on foam mattress. No monsters attacked. Neither did any superheroes.

I fell into a dreamless (thank the gods) sleep.

Yes I know that was short, but I have an idea I want to get at as soon as possible.
