THE HOUSE WAS AS SECURE AS THE WHITE HOUSE.

"A little exaggerated." Atlas pointed out.

First it was the motion-activated trapdoor on the sidewalk, then the lasers on the steps, then the nerve gas dispenser on the porch railing pressure-sensitive poison spikes in the welcome mat, and or course the exploding doorbell.

Leo deactivated all of them. it was like he could smell the traps, and he picked just the right tool out of his belt to disable them

"You're amazina, man." Jason complimented Leo.

Leo scowled as he examined the front door lock. "Yeah, amazing," he said. "Can't fix a dragon right, but Im amazing."

"Hey, that wasn't your-"

"Front door's already unlocked " Leo announced, cutting of Jason.

Isabella stared at the door in disbelief. "is? All those traps. and the door's fucking unlocked?"

"All for nothing?!" Lucifer demanded.

Leo turned the knob. The door swung open easily. He stepped inside without hesitation.

Natasha's first impression of the house: Dark.

It was all dark and dreary. From the echo of her footsteps she could tell the entry hall was enormous, even bigger than Boreas's penthouse; but the only illumination came from the yard lights outside. A faint glow peeked through the breaks in the thick velvet curtains. The windows rose about ten feet tall. Spaced between them along the walls were life-size metal statues. As Natasha's eyes adjusted, she saw sofas arranged in a U in the middle of the room, with a central coffee table and one large chair at the far end. A massive chandelier glinted overhead. Along the back wall stood a row of closed doors.

"Where's the light switch?" Her voice echoed alarmingly through the room. She didn't need a lamp, but it was better then summoning fire from her staff.

"Don't see one," Leo said.

"Fire?" She suggested.

Leo held out his hand, but nothing happened. "It's not working."

"Your fire is out? Why?" Piper asked.

"Well, if I knew that-"

"Okay, okay." she said. "What do we do explore?'

Natasha and Leo shook heads. "After all those traps outside? Not on top of my list of doing things." She said crossing her arms over her chest.
