"Holy Hephaestus."
I re-read my laptops note from Nyssa.
After doing that, I re-read it again.
And again.
And again.
What did this mean?
And the, 'lots of greasy affection' thing? Come on.
I paced the length of Bunker 9, trying to work this all out.
I was hoping that the,'nice plans' thing didn't mean Calypso. But if it did....
I could trust Nyssa with my most personal secret right?
"Oh! Who am I kidding?" I frustratedly kicked a leftover 7 Up can.
Then, because of protest squeaks from Festus, I picked it up and threw it in the recycling bin.
This whole thing was insane.
And who gave Nyssa and apparently Jake the permission to fix my laptop?
I don't know why, but that last thought got me over the Leo Valdez mad limit.
I stormed into the cabin before I could stop myself.
"NYSSA! JAKE! I need to speak with you!"
After annoyed grumbles from my siblings, they agreed to join me in my space.
"What is it Valdez?" Jake asked.
I slapped his face,"Oh no Mason. You lost the privilege of addressing me by my last name."
Jake raised his eyebrows,"Huh?"
"Yeah what?" Nyssa asked.
Apparently, since she appeared to have a lot to say, I marched to my sister and looked her in the eye. Which sadly involved me getting a step ladder.
"Why did you touch my computer missy?"
"Uhh. Because you kinda destroyed it?"
"And was that any of your business?!"
"Leo? Did Clarisse give you a wedgie again?" Jake asked.
I shot him a look of absolute evil,"No. Now, let me finish scolding our sister."
Suddenly, I was whacked upside the head with a cleaning bucket, which made me crumple to the floor.
"Oh! Sorry. You were scolding me?"
I didn't want to, but I started crying.
Jake threw away the step ladder, while Nyssa knelt by my side.
"I know about Calypso." She whispered.
Thanks for that comment, sis! Now I could start crying harder.
Jake made me sit up,"I know too." I looked down,"You guys promise not to tell anyone?"
"We promise."
"Do you super hot lug wrench promise?"
"Yes Leo." Nyssa laughed.
"We've got your back." Jake added.
"Good," I looked up at them,"How do you guys feel about Ogygia?"
