A/N: Hey guys! This is going to be a multi-chap fic. The first one will be Hades view on Nico before his capture by Gaea, the second during, and the third after. If you see anything you want me to fix, please review!

Hades looked down at his son from his high throne. He was wearing his helm of darkness and holding a dark, black Stygian iron sword. Persephone was sitting next to his, murmuring curses at his son. Demeter was on his other side, twisting a stalk of grain.

Nico trembled under his piercing gaze. Of course, Hades did admit that he was something to be scared of. Mortals were known to be reduced to withering messes under his gaze. It was amazing that Nico was still sane.

Nico bowed his head uncertainty. This was his first time meeting his father. A fury had picked him up while he was camping outside a McDonalds in Ohio. He never liked Ohio much anyways. But as long as he was away from Perseus Jackson and those blasted Hunters, he was okay.

Nico hated them. No, he abhorred them. They had let his sister die right in front of their eyes! Bianca was all he had, and they had taken her away. Involuntarily, a tear slid down his face and he shivered.

Hades sighed. He could not feel pity for his son. He only felt anger; that his favorite child had died. Bianca was the image of her beautiful mother. Sure he loved Nico, but that brooding, depressed lump that was before him was not anything to be proud of.

"Nico, my son, stand."

Nico stood hesitantly.

"Yes fath-Lord Hades."

Hades sighed once again. How was he supposed to get "close" to a kid like this who was terrified of him?

"Just call me father, won't you? Nico, I am your father."

Hades chuckled at the Star Wars reference. But Nico remained impassive. Then Hades remembered that Nico probably hadn't seen any Star Wars movies, as he was stuck in the Lotus Hotel and Casino.

"Speak Nico."

"Yes My Lord."

Hades shook his head.

"Okay Nico. I know you just lost your sister but you have to understand that I just lost a child."

"Yes Lord."

Hades turned his head and murmured, "And I would have liked it better if Bianca had survived", missing another tear of Nico's.

"I also want you to know that if you are ever tired or lonely then you can come down to the underworld. You will always be welcome here."

This time Nico looked up with excitement and hope. Hades smiled. He had accomplished getting at least one of his children to like him.

A/N: Okay, here it is! Hope you liked it!
