What if Leo and Alex where cousin???
I was sitting on a bench with Sam, as Magnus paced around impatiently.
"Stop moving!" I snapped "It's annoying me!"
He paused for a moment...then went back to pacing.
I groaned, slouching on the bench and rubbing my face with my hands.
We where waiting for Magnus's cousin Annabeth and her friends.
"Why are you so nervous?" Sam asked flatly, "This isn't the first time you've seen Annabeth or Percy."
"Yeah," I chimed in "nothing to worry about Maggie."
"I know...but I haven't met her other friends before, she's bringing two other demigods"
"Don't worry!" I groaned, "Nothing bad or interesting is going to happen, it'll just be a normal catch up," Sam gave me a tired side eye, "Well, as normal as demigod stands go." I added under my breath.
"Hey, Magnus!" A voice called, we all looked towards it to see Annabeth and Percy walking towards us, with two other demigods behind them.
Magnus ran up to Annabeth and gave her a quick hug, he wasn't usually a hugger, but Annabeth was an exception...and me of course, but only if I agree.
They walked over to us and Annabeth introduced her friends, to Magnus, Sam and I.
"Guys, there are my friends from camp half blood, Piper and Leo." She gestured to a Cherokee girl, with messy brown hair, and eyes that seemed to change colour, then to a Latino boy, who looked like and elf.
I stared at him, and he stared back. Somthing about his face, seemed strangely familiar.
"Uh...Alex you good?" Magnus questioned.
I nodded slightly, "I feel like I know you."
The Latino boy nodded, "Yeah, same...your names Alex?"
His eyes seemed to spark with fire.
"HOLY HEPHESTUS!" He cried, smiling stupidly, "Alex! Your my cousin! Remember, my mum was Esparenza? We had the mechanic work shop and garage!"
My brain clicked, he was right, "Oh! Yes! Now I remember, my parents never let me play with you because they thought you where weird."
He laughed awkwardly, "Yeah...so did everyone else."
I was about to ask what he meant when Sam spoke up.
"Umm, I'm sorry, can we have an explanation?"
Leo perked up, and bounced over to me, bumping his shoulder with mine.
"Alex is my cousin, we rarely hung out because her parents didn't like me."
I grind mischievously "Well they can't tell me what to do now!"
"Ahh," Piper said "I see the resemblance."
"Leo has the exact same grin...usually it means he is about to make a stupid yet effective plan"
"Yea- Hey!" Leo exclaimed.
I laughed, "So, your a demigod?"
"Yep!" He said bouncing on his feet, "Child of Hephestus" he held out his hand and lit it on fire.
"Woah!" I stared and the flames, mesmerised by its glow. A sly grin spread across my face, "¿Quieres hacer algo divertido?"
His eyes literally lit up, "¡Sí! ¡obviamente! ¿Qué tienes en mente?"
"Oh no" Annabeth and Sam said at the same time.
"Hey! I wanna know!" Piper exclaimed.
Percy and Magnus just stood there, confused.
"Sígueme" I say, dashing off.
"Sí" He responds, running after me.
"Wow, surprised you can keep up" I call.
"Ha! Well running from authorities for six years of your life definitely builds up some stamina." He jokes.
"Yep," We both jump up onto a ledge and climb onto the roof of a small building, running along the tops, "The family, uh..they disowned me when I was eight"
I jumped into an ally way, Leo right behind me.
"Wait, they disowned you too?" I asked, shocked.
"What do you mean too?" He responded.
"Well, I was disowned when they found out I trans and genderfluid."
He gaped at me, I became defensive instantly, was he gonna make fun of me? Call me names?...hurt me?.
"THEY DISOWNED YOU BECAUSE OF THAT?!" His hair and hands caught fire, of course that's why he was shocked, he didn't think I was gross, he was mad at our family, I thought releaved.
"Yeah, but sucks for them, they lost a perfectly amazing person" I say, smirking smugly.
Leo laughed "Your weird," he said "It's great!"
"Yes! Finally some understands! You must flaunt the weird!"
"Yes, definitely" Leo agreed.
I started walking down the ally way, still have to get to the place.
"So what about you?" I ask.
"Why'd you get disowned by our f**k of a family...uh, minus your mum, she was cool"
Leo stopped and looked down, "um...maybe another time..." he muttered.
"Not fair!" I exclaimed, "I told you my story, you have to tell me yours." Crossing my arms, I planted my feet firm on the ground to show him, that I would not move till he told me.
Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes, "WhenIwaseightGeaevisitedmeandscaredmeintothinkingthattheonlywaytosavemymumwastousemyfireabilitiessoididbutthatendedupkillingmumandsomyfamilydisowendmeandaentmetofostercarewhereiranawayfromsixdiferenthomesbecausemostofthemdidnttreatmekidnlyandiftheywhereniceiwouldrunanywayscauseineverwantedtostayinthesameplacefortoolongsoukeptrunnigawayfrommyproblemswhichisastupidideabutstill"
I stared at him, there is now way it's humanly possible to speak that fast,
"I'm sorry, what the hell did you just say?"
His eyes looked tired and sad, "When I was eight I killed my mother"
I stared at him for a moment, trying to process what he had said "What happened to the rest of the crap you said?"
"Geae the earth goddess lady, scared me into thinking the only way to save my mum was to use my fire abilities, but that just ended up killing her, so I was disowned and sent into foster care, but I would always run away, because I never liked to stay in one place for too long...or the homes just weren't nice"
To my own surprise, I hugged him.
"That was a one time offer, I don't hug everyone, got it?" I say sharply, he nods.
"Can we continue with the chaos causing now?" He asked.
"Yep...but I still want to here the rest of this story."
"Fiiinnnneeee." He complained.
I turned and ran towards a near by street, turning down it i stopped out side a large building.
"Where are we, and what is the plan?" Leo asked.
I smiled in a snake like way, and walked inside the building, Leo beside me.
"Santa madre de zues" He breathed.
Inside the building, where boxes, upon boxes of fireworks.
"Come on!" I call, running to the boxes, and picking an armful of fire works.
"This is illegal right?" Leo quetioned.
"Yep, but I'm dead and you'll be fine." I say carrying the fire works to a ladder, transforming into a large bird, I fly the fireworks to the roof and set them down, waiting for Leo.
He comes up a moment later, the fireworks stuffed into a bag.
"Where'd the bag come from?" I ask.
"My magical tool belt." He said proudly, patting the belt that sat in his waist.
"Cool! Can you make anything from it?"
"Yep! All I have to do is think of what I want, and I can just pill it out"
"Can you summon a chainsaw!" I question eagerly.
"Sadly no, I've tried before, but it's too big, even this belt has its limits, what about the whole turning into a bird?"
"I'm a child of Loki, shapeshifting is one of my abilities."
"Cool! I have a friend who can do that, he's name's Frank...but he's a son of Mars, not Loki."
I nodded, I will have to meet this Frank someday, "Now! Shall we?" I ask, gesturing to the fireworks.
My cousin grind, lighting his index finger ablaze, he lit, each one of the fire works.
"Okay...now, run." He said.
"Better plan!" I call, transforming into a large bird, I pick Leo up, causing him to screech like a mouse, and fly him to another roof top, so we can view the fireworks.
I sat beside him, staring up at the fireworks.
"Hey! Idiots! What are you doing?!" A voice calls.
Leo crawls to the edge of the building, "Hey Pipes!!!" He calls waving.
"The police are on there way!" Magnus calls.
I sigh and turn into a bird again, lifting up Leo and taking him back down.
"Alex what the hell" Sam snapped.
"You could've at least give us a warning" Annabeth chided.
"Clam down Annie" Leo said, earning a punch in the shoulder, "Ow, anyways, me and Alex where just catching up! No harm done."
"Tell that to the police" Percy chuckled.
"We should probably leave before the police get here" Annabeth sighed,
"Sorry Magnus, I'll come back soon, next time without Leo."
"Hey!" Leo and I exclaimed.
Piper laughed, "Come on Leo, we can't have the police catch us again."
"Okay! Keep in touch bird girl!" Leo said, smiling.
We all said good bye, and with that Leo left with his friends.
"We should probably leave too" Sam said.
"Yeah, I don't want the police to find me" Magnus agreed.
I nodded and walked with the, back to the gates of Valhalla.
