I made this chapter sorta like a second part of the last one because I had had the beginning finished but not the end and I wanted to have something to publish to almost stay on schedule
Almost.

Magic.

"Holy shit!" Leo jumped back a little ways, pointing at her accusingly "you're a demigod!"
Calypso just smiled.
He threw his hands in the air. His thoughts were racing. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Really?" her hands rested on her hips. "Maybe for the same reason you didn't set your hand on fire and wave it in front of my face?"
Leo tried to be offended, but he couldn't get the smile off his face. Until he saw the guilty look on Calypsos.
She spoke before he could.
"Technically, I'm not a demigod."
This took a moment to sink in.
"Please don't say your Aphrodite. Cause with my Dad and Piper's mom and that would just be really weird."
"Not a goddess either."
"Then...dam you're a good looking monster."
That did earn Leo another song like laugh.
"I'm a Titaness Leo, not a fortunate cyclops."
"A Titaness? Like bigger, better god people?"
"These gods." Calypso scoffed. "Do they tell demigods anything?"
"...They tell us what to do."
Sighing, Calypso crossed her arms.
"My father is Atlas. The titan who holds up the sky. I was imprisoned because I supported him in a fight against the gods. I was only freed recently, my curse being broken and me ending up in the mortal world."
Atlas. Titans. Imprisonment. Curse. The pieces of her story clicked together.
"Holy Hephaestus, you're the Calypso. Like the Odyssey immortal sorceress lady."
"Yes Leo. I'm the Odyssey immortal sorceress lady."
Leo didn't know what to think.
He had seen a lot of weird shit, and it seemed her couldn't get away from it for one damn evening.
But if Calypso came with the deal of magic and prophecies and gods, Leo would take it in stride.
Leo knew Calypso's story. He knew she had been alive for thousands of years, could blast him across the city with a single word, and had more magic and awesomeness in her pinkie that Leo had in his entire body.
He also knew about her curse.
To fall in love with every hero who came across her island.
But if she was free, the curse would be broken.
Right?
Calypso noticed his train of thought.
"I can glow too?" She offered.
Leo had to grin. "And it makes you look amazing sunshine."
She smiled in return, an exasperated sigh her only reaction to the nickname.
"My immortality is gone yes, but I always look amazing."
Immortality. Right. Leo had kind of forgotten about that part.
Leo decided that for tonight, he could forget about some of it. Curses and immortality could be pushed aside for a while. He was taking a break. Unless a giant monster with a club tried to beat him up, Leo was considering himself a normal mortal for an evening.
No Gods. No curses. Just a beautiful girl under a night sky, and smiling under the stars.
"So who freed you?" He asked. they both seemed grateful for the change of subject.
"A boy named Percy Jackson."
Leo couldn't freaking believe it.
"Percy Jackson? Seriously? Has that guy done everything? " Calypso cocked her head, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, nothing."
They stood in silence for a moment before Leo pulled her back to him, hands on her waist, her face level to his neck. Leo grinned down at her. He knew he looked absolutely wicked
"I guess I have a thing for older women."
He says it like it's an unimportant, expected revelation. This sets her off.
"Leo!" Calypso cursed at him rapidly, in several differnt languages, hitting him, flustered and aggravated.
"Kidding! Kidding! Damn Chica you pack a heck of a punch."
She hit him once more for good measure.
They were close again. Her gaze was focused a good few inches below his eyes. Leo was willing to place quite a large bet that he knew where it had landed.
Feeling a sudden power, because this was Calypso and she was staring not so subtly at his mouth, Leo lifted her chin, redirecting her line of sight.
"My eyes-" her eyelashes fluttered as he breathed on her neck. "Are up here."
Damn Leo felt like a cocky bastard.
Calypso scoffed and flushed and swore somehow at the same time. "Shut up." She grumbled, hitting him lightly again. "Kiss me now."
He had absolutely no objection to anything in that sentence.
His face lowered to hers
"All da ladies luv Leo."
"Di immortales."
Her lips were, in truth, as soft as they looked.

I wanted to cover Leos doubt about Calypsos past love life thingy and age and more but I didn't want to much time centered on it so I projected it as an imaginary future discussion that I'm never going to write.
Also this is the last chapter I have a chance to publish before school starts, so if nothing is released next week its beacuse I'm currently dying in algebra.
