[The feed cuts on, and the first noticeable is that Leo is messy. He's covered in dirt and oil, and -- is that hot sauce? Yes, yes it is.] Okaaaaaaay, 'sup guys? So listen, I've been thinking...

Is it just me, or does the training place suck? Seriously, no lava climbing wall? What kind of training is that?

[Cue a huge grin. Not that he wasn't grinning hugely to begin with, but it's getting worse and -- oh wait, is that fire? He doesn't seem to notice, but there are in fact flames flickering around his head, yet he pays no mind to them. And the more he talks, the more the flames grow.] So that got me thinking. With all sorts of kinds of people 'round here, I figure we need to do better than this. I'm not the only demigod here, and I bet there are others that have super awesome powers than need special epic training.

My idea? I'll build it. Or stuff. Figure I can find supplies around here, and hey, I'm a son of Hephaestus, I got this. [His excitement reached it's peak, and thank goodness, he finally realized what was going on. His hands were glowing from the flames, which he easily shook out, and with a large amount of control, the flames that had been creeping over the rest of his body disappeared too.]

...Right. Where was I? Oh, yeah! I wouldn't mind some odd jobs here and there, either! If anyone needs any kind of tech or machine worked on, I'm your guy. Or if you need a weapon or something made, again, I'm your guy.

So, yeah. Awesome. Leo out! [He mock salutes the feed, before it cuts off.]

I know what it means. I'm just not used to hearing it used about us.

The guy with the white skull mask, you mean?

Ah, right, of course.

Yeah, that's him, as a matter of fact. Friend of yours?

He used to be an enemy. That's... complicated. [He's a villain, but he's her boyfriend now and her teammates don't know about it yet.]

So bad but not bad anymore? [Pausing, then shrugs. Not gonna pry, because he definitely knows how bad 'complicated' can be.]

Cool deal.

[She doesn't answer tha bu she appreciates he chose not to pry.]

What about you? Were any of the people you knew from home brought here?

[He nods.] Yeah, my best bro, his girl, his old girl, and an awesome dude I hadn't got to meet yet until we this place. All of them are here with me.

What's their names then?

Jason's my bro, but the others are Piper, Reyna, and Percy.

Jason's your brother?

Brother? Haha, no way. I meant, like, 'bro', as in best friend. Buuuuut. [Pauses and strokes his chin.] If you wanna get technical, you could say he's my uncle?

Oh. Right.

Well technically I only could say that if he's your father's or your mother's brohter.

But he is! My dad's brother, technically. But everyone tells me the god parent thing doesn't count, so I guess he really isn't. [Shrugs.] It's confusing to me too.

Who's your Father, then?

You know your Greek mythology? Well Hephaestus, god of fire and the forge? That's dad.

I'm a bit more familiar with the Roman one. But yeah, I know who that is. And it'd explain your ability with fire too.

I'd say there's no difference, but their kinda is. [Grins.] That it does! Though I'm the only one out of my sibs that can control it.

How come?

[Shrugs.] Fire's a rare gift. All my bros and sis' can do the forge thing, though. Guess I'm just enough awesome to go around.

[Raven smirks a bit at that.] I see. Humility is kind of a rare gift too.

Ha-ha, very funny. [Sarcastic tone in his voice this time.]

You're not difficult. [She didn't mean to be.]
