As the captain of the red team on capture the flag, you hated the Athena Cabin. They had the best strategists and always won the game. You needed a secret weapon and you knew just who.

Leo Valdez. There was just something about him that annoyed you. He acted so stupid and insufferable, but he had literal built the Argo II all by himself. He had to be smarter than he let see and you needed to prove that.

The poor son of Hephaestus couldn’t be more surprised when you suddenly appeared in the bunker 9 looking for him. And he was even more shocked when you asked for his help to win the game. He still helped you, though. He didn’t really had a reason to say no.

And for your content, you actually won. You were so happy you didn’t stopped rubbing the victory in the Athena Cabin for the whole week. For that moment on, Leo became your right hand. You still thought his jokes and how he downplayed himself in front of others was annoying, but well, you could handle that.

Leo himself couldn’t be happier. It had been a while since someone actually believed that he was more than another repair boy from the Hephaestus Cabin. He knew that you only wanted him to win the game, but how could he say no to someone as cool as you who also believed that he was so amazing??

“Trust me, this is gonna work!” Leo said confidently after explaining you his reckless, as always, plan. He smiled cockily and leaned back into his chair. “When have I failed you before, boss?” He teased you.
