Leo Valdez was a bit like your Tony Stark aka Iron Man story. Demigod son of Hephaestus, hero of Olympus, came back from the dead with a hot immortal on his celestial bronze dragon and friend, Festus. You know, the typical hero stuff. Whereas on the mortal side of things well... let us list the important ones down, shall we?

At the age of seventeen, he along with his girlfriend, Calypso, had opened up 'Leo and Calypso's Garage and Mechanical Monsters'.

Nineteen year old Leo and the fates know how old Calypso had started up Celestial Garden Industries which is now one of the world's leading company in technological advancement as well as nature reserve and the recovering of natural resources, plants and animals.

By 22 they had been wed and had a daughter named Amber Esperanza Valdez at 23.

Leo, though not very good with people had been wrapped round his little girl's fingers the moment he lay eyes on her, so when three year old Amber told Papa Leo he should not have anyone but the two of them set up the surprise anniversary picnic for Mama Calypso, he had agreed without thinking.

The biggest problem was getting Calypso out of the house.

"I am really worried right now Repair Boy, the way you two are kicking me out is giving me the feeling that I will find my houses in flames upon my return" Calypso saidwith her hands on her hips.

"Don't worry Sunshine, I will make sure Amber here doesn't burn the house down" Leo said scooping the little girl in his ar who pouted.

"I am not worried about Amber, Repair Boy, I am worried more about you. Besides I am quite sure JAIS will keep you two out of trouble and ensure our home is in one piece when I come back, am I correct, JAIS?"

"Of course Miss Calypso" JAIS, the artificial intelligence with a thick Swiss German's voice spoke from the intercoms.

"Hey, whose team are you on? " Leo whined.

"Team Leo! " exclaimed fangirls from the intercom, bringing a grin on said Leo's face.

"Whatever, stay out of trouble you two. Love you" Calypso said as she gave Amber a kiss on the forehead and pecked her husband's lips.

Now with Calypso gone, the father daughter sat to work with the first thing being setting up the outdoor dining table. The mahogany wood, carefully crafted into a delicate dining table set in the little gazebo in their back garden looking over the magical and exotic floats and plants that bloomed unset Calypso's magic. They covered the table with a white sheet and little Amber decorated it with flowers and placed a small crystal vase with flowers in the centre.

Afterwards, they went in to the kitchen. "What do you think we should make? "

The little girl blushed and have a toothy grin "Chocolate Cake"

Leo laughed at the little girl's antics "I like the way you think and maybe some peanut butter, jelly and marshmallow sandwich? " Leo asked with a laugh.

"Yeah! Maybe Papa's burgers too"

"Good thinking" Leo said as he began pulling out the ingredients from the fridge and placing them on the counter. The father-daughter duo got to work as the patties were fried and peanut butter was being eaten by Amber with a spoon until papa decided to snatch it from her and take a bite out of it himself before spreading them on bread.

"Honestly, you are as bad as Tyson when it comes to peanut butter. "Leo laughed.

"Me and uncle Tyson eat peanut butter at uncle Percy's house" grinned the three year old.

"Ahh, i can see that. I think we are done" all the burgers and sandwiches in the basket (check), chocolate cake from the fridge in hand (check), daughter on his hip? (Triple check).

They walked back to the gazebo or rather Leo walked and Amber enjoyed the ride. "Mama will be home soon"

Leo began gathering the food items out of the basket and on the floor unknown to him what little Ambie was doing in the back...

The smell of smoke coming from behind him was strong. Very strong. And a Leo almost had a heart attack seeing the fire tagging from the girl's hand, melting the candle and burning the table cloth. He snatched the girl from the table, threw the melting candle from her palms and idiotically enough throwing it back on the already burning table.

To make things worse, Leo had remembered in one of the first well episodes of Ben 10 that of you start an other then the two fires will extinguish each other but sadly, it only led to an even greater inferno.

By the heat and smoke, the outside fire alarm had begun to ring as water from the garden sprinklers now aimed at the burning dining table and put it out.

Leo sighed in relief only for a second before dread began to fill him "Calypso is gonna kill me"

"She most definitely will, Valdez" an angry Calypso flatted at Leo who held his hands up in surrender. "My dining table! This is the second dining table you destroyed Valdez! Just because you couldn't burn the house down you decide to burn my table? What were you thinking but of course, you don't think do you? 'It interrupts with being absolutely insane! ' Honestly, by the fates of this child gets your fire powers and decides to join your pyromaniacs club then you will most certainly be sleeping in a fire proof tent with no technology, whatsoever." Calypso sighed from ranting "What were you thinking anyway?"

Leo grinned sheepishly and picked his wife bridal style and kissed her lips followed by a 'Ewwe' from Amber. "Happy Independence Day Sunshine. The day we came back from Ogygia" Calypso smiled "oh Leo. "

With a flick of her wrist, a small picnic set up before the family of three along with Leo's sandwiches and cake. The little girl squealed as she took a seat between her mama and papa and munched on the PB&J&M sandwich and drinking juice.

"So Sunshine, what was that you were talking about three of us setting the house on fire and all that? I didn't get it. Because only Ambie And I can set the house on fire and obviously you won't use your magic for that but still... "

Calypso smiled "Happy Anniversary, Repair Boy. I have a little surprise for you too." -sigh' "Leo I'm pregnant"
