Leo: Old Friends, New Problems

(A/N): So trials of apollo have happened but Percy & Annabeth didn't go to college but they were visiting Camp Jupiter when Apollo went to get help in the beginning of the third book so they weren't there. They came back, got an apartment, ya da yada ya.

unfortunately that does mean Jason is dead but Apollo never recovered his body(in my version).

Leo cursed under his breath as the toy he had been tinkering with slipped from his hands. Leo was walking back from a morning shift at the homeless shelter where he taught basic mechanics. Bending down, he grabbed the toy, glimpsing two shadowy figures that he had seen at the shelter. His breath hitched. Was he being followed?

Leo decided to test his theory. He ducked into an alleyway and hid behind a van parked there. Sure enough, two figures entered the alley.

"Damnit! We lost him," one of them cursed, "We need to get to Leo before the others!"

The voice sounded feminine and familiar. Albeit Leo met a lot of people in his travels. This lady sounded suspiciously like an old friend. Leo reached into his tool belt, prepared to pull a hammer out when another voice spoke.

"Calm down, Annabeth. We'll find him," a second voice reassured.

Leo leapt up, a grin breaking out. He jumped out from behind the van and was met with Percy and Annabeth.

"Annabeth! Percy!" he exclaimed, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Percy looked terrible and Annabeth wasn't much better. She had dark circles under her eyes and her hair looked like it hadn't been brushed in days. Percy had a large bruise on one side of his face.

Annabeth let out a sigh of relief and pulled Leo in for a hug which he returned. Percy gave him a smile and patted his shoulder. 

"It's a long story." Percy started.

"One we can tell off the streets please." Annabeth chimed in, looking around warily.

"Yeah, of course. I was just heading back to Waystation. You're welcome to come with? You look like you could use some good food and some ambrosia," Leo offered.

Percy chuckled. "Did you just call us ugly?"

"What? No, of course not." Leo exclaimed, grinning. 

It had been way too long since Leo had seen Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth hadn't seen him since he 'died' and Percy hadn't seen him since the first Nero fiasco. Then, Jason had died and Leo didn't reach out to any demigods. After Jason's death, he had been wrecked. They hadn't even been able to find his body. Jason had never gotten a proper burial. He had always known demigods could die and their life is dangerous but they always seemed to escape. They always managed to succeed and when that didn't happen...

"Follow me." Leo said, shaking himself from his dark thoughts.

They wordlessly trekked back to the station, scanning their surroundings, staying hidden. Suddenly, Annabeth yanked Leo's arm pulling him into random convenience store.

"What the-" he began.

"Across the street. Daisy." Annabeth said, gesturing with her head.

"Daisy? Who?" Leo asked, following the pair behind a shelf.

"Daisy Johnson. A coworker." Percy stated, glancing over quickly. "Mack is going to be close by."

"A what? You guys have jobs now?" Leo asked.

"Sorta? We may kinda work with a top-secret government agency thing called SHEILD. They're actually hunting you right now." Percy mumbled.

"You work where? And they're hunting who?" Leo exclaimed, whipping his head around towards Percy.
