A/N Hi! So this story is basically the seven watching Leo's memories, and it's based on Learning about Leo by mewsugarpudd , The Truth Behind the Mask by Zoeythezany III, and Everybody Loves Leo by Icyblast51, all of which were amazing and I loved, so you should definitely go check them out. The title was a suggestion by my friend Sylvia, so thanks to her! Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter One

Hera POV

The Queen of the Gods watched from above as Leo Valdez pounded on a piece of Celestial Bronze, utterly absorbed in his work. Annabeth and Percy were on the deck, Percy killing any monsters and Annabeth was driving. Jason and Piper were in Jason's cabin, talking, and Frank and Hazel were eating in the mess hall.

Hera shook her head at the fact that no one cared about what Leo was doing, in fact, she had been watching the seven for most of the morning, and no one had checked on him for about six hours. He hadn't even been mentioned by the rest of them. It looked like they were too absorbed in their lives to notice that Leo, one of the most important members of the prophecy, hadn't even eaten that morning. Or that afternoon, for that matter.

She knew they were busy, but they were so busy they couldn't even check up on one their friends, ask him how his work was going? Obviously they understood nothing about him. Of course, she was the Queen of the Gods, and as such, had a plan for one of her favorite demigods. She hadn't baby sat him when he was younger for nothing, you know, even if he was the son of her cursed son.

Brushing off her robes, she disappeared from where she had been previously watching the son of Hephaestus and instead reappeared right in front of him. Startled, Leo dropped his hammer and cried out, stumbling backwards.

"Woah, Tía, what was that for?" He said, bending down to pick his fallen hammer. "Besides, I thought the Gods went quiet, why are you even here?"

Ignoring his use of the word Tía, she calmly responded. "To help you, of course. I thought I picked you because you were smart."

He rolled his eyes. "How can YOU help me? What do you know about mechanics?"

"Oh, I'm not helping you with mechanics, Leo Valdez. I'm helping you with letting your friends get to know you better, so you'll trust each other more."

"Wait, what? How exactly do you plan on getting my friends know me better? All I've ever seen you do is cause trouble."

"I do not cause trouble, Leo Valdez."

He raised his eyebrows. "Really? Because the way I see it, you tried to kill me multiple times before I even knew about demigods, got kidnapped, causing trouble for everyone trying to get you back, erased Percy and Jason's memories, and more. That all sounds like causing trouble to me."

"I did not try to kill you, I was training you to become a hero! And the rest was necessary in order to let you demigods unite."

"You didn't babysit anyone else. I never saw you try to get Percy or Annabeth to poke a snake with a stick. And necessary? I'm sure you could have thought of plenty of other ways to get the demigods to unite, that didn't involve erasing memories, using the Mist, or kidnapping and moving people across the U.S."

"Whatever, that holds no importance right now. What is important now is your friends knowing you better."

"Yeah, and you never answered my question on how you plan on doing that. Do you want us to have a lovely heart to heart, maybe play a nice game of Truth or Dare?"

"Very funny, Valdez. No, I was planning on letting them see your memories."

"WHAT? You can't do that! That's personal! I refuse to allow you to do that."

"Well, if you won't cooperate I guess I'll have to resort to other methods. Your friends will see your memories, Leo Valdez, whether you allow it or not."

With that, Hera waved her hand, and Leo slumped down onto the floor, completely unconscious.

Hazel POV

Hazel had been talking with Frank in the mess hall, when a sudden wave of nausea hit her. Curse boats and seasickness! Telling Frank she would be right back, she ran to the bathroom, when suddenly she heard a cry and a thump coming from Leo's room. Nausea forgotten, she ran to the door, knocking and calling out to Leo.

"Leo? Are you okay? What happened?" Getting no response, she cursed and opened the door herself. What she saw shocked her.

Leo was passed out on the floor, curls falling across his forehead, and a hammer forgotten in his hand. Hazel didn't know what had happened, but she knew he needed ambrosia, and she didn't have any on her.

"Jason, Piper, Frank, get down here! Leo's unconscious!" Footsteps immediately came running across the ship, and Jason, Piper, and Frank appeared.

"Oh my gods! What happened?" Piper asked, kneeling next to Leo and brushing his hair out of his face.

"I don't know," Hazel replied. "I was seasick, when I heard a crash and came in here, then called you guys."

"He needs ambrosia. Who has it?" Piper asked, looking around.

"I think Annabeth has most of it, but she's driving."

"Who cares!? Leo needs it, and I'm sure the ship has autopilot or something."

"I'll go ask Annabeth." Frank said, who had previously been standing around awkwardly, considering he and Leo weren't on the best terms.

A few minutes later, more footsteps were heard, and Frank came back, with Percy and Annabeth in tow. Crowding into the cabin, Annabeth started to get down next to Leo, when suddenly the doors locked from the outside, leaving them trapped.

"What was that?" asked Percy, pulling out Riptide and looking around.

"That would have been me." Said a voice from the back corner of the room. Hazel looked around, searching for the owner of the voice, her friends following her example, when Hera suddenly materialized from the shadows.

"Hera?" asked Annabeth, who looked half confused and half annoyed to see the Queen of the Gods standing there."

"Humph. That will be Lady Hera to you, Annabeth Chase."

"Whatever, Hera. Why are you even here?"

Ignoring the fact that Annabeth refused to respect her title, Hera suddenly started to smile. "I'm going to show you some of Leo Valdez's memories, of course. So you'll learn to respect him more, and improve the trust between you." She glanced around, murmuring about how she would have to move them all because there wasn't enough room or something.

"Wait, you're going to show us his memories? That's an invasion of privacy!" Percy said, who still had Riptide uncapped, he obviously didn't trust Hera at all.

Piper and Jason nodded their heads in agreement. "You can't make us watch Leo's memories without his permission!" Piper exclaimed. "He'll tell us about himself when he's ready."

Hera muttered something about insolent demigods, before straightening up and saying in a calm, controlled, yet somewhat forced voice "Leo Valdez has made it clear he will not tell you about his past himself, so I am going to show you his memories myself. It is essential you know about him and his past to succeed on this quest. None of you pay attention to him unless you have to, and I am here to fix that. I have lived on this planet for a long time, and I have made some enemies and friends during that time." Hazel heard Annabeth mutter "You have friends? Wow. I never would've guessed." Hera paused her speech to glare at Annabeth before continuing. "Hypnos has put Leo Valdez in a deep sleep to allow you to watch his memories, and he cannot be awakened unless I do it myself."

"Wait, what about the quest?" Percy asked, glaring at Hera.

"Put away the sword, Perseus Jackson. I have called in a few favors, and no time will pass while you watch Valdez's memories. There is nothing you can do about it."

Grumbling, Percy capped Riptide and slid the pen back in his pocket.

"Now, I suppose I will have to move you. I don't know how Valdez can work in here, it's way too crowded." Looking around, Hazel saw Hera was right. The floor and bed was covered in blueprints and tools, and everyone was looking slightly cramped from being enclosed in such a small place so long.

Suddenly the room started spinning, and there was a sudden burst of light. Then Hazel, who was starting to feel nauseous again, found herself in a large room, complete with what she what she recognized from Leo trying to bring her up to speed on modern technology, a flat screen T.V. There was a couch and chairs for the demigods to sit on in front of the T.V., and Leo was curled up on a mattress in the corner of the room. Jason tried to walk over to him, but was stopped by an invisible shield protecting Leo.

The rest of the seven seemed to have accepted that they had to watch Leo's memories, and sat down on the couch or chairs. Jason sat down next to Piper, rubbing his forehead from when he ran into the wall. Percy and Annabeth were curled up next to each other on the couch, and Hazel sat down onto one of the chairs next to Frank.

Then the T.V. clicked on, and the memory watching began.

A/N So there's chapter one, I don't know when I'll update again, because I'm usually busy with school work. Please review if you loved or hated it, I welcome any feedback and constructive criticism. Also, I'm trying to make this as original as possible, so any ideas are welcome! Thanks again!
