Hey guys!

So after reading the House of Hades (WITH THE AWESOME NICO REVELATION PART BTW), I got inspired to make this fic about the PJO series in Nico's POV but with an added twist! Since I ship Percico so hard (and I still can't believe it's canon! It's one-sided but whatever!) this is going to be mostly about them and their relationship AND I HOPE that it won't be too awkward, unusual or OOC for you guys hehe Gonna keep this as canon & in character as possible! ;) So enjoy!

Titan's Curse: First Meeting

Nico's POV

Nico Di Angelo didn't think that ever in his wildest dreams would he be facing a supposedly Greek mythological creature with a bunch of armoured demigods and Artemis' merry band of girl scouts saving his and his sister's life. Well…actually he kinda did.

And it is so freakishly COOL!

However, no one seemed to share the same sentiment as him considering they had just lost one of their friends (Annabeth, was it?) and there appeared to be some tension between the silver scout girls (Hunters of Artemis, they called themselves) and the black-haired freckled spawn of Zeus (I think her name was Thalia…).

Nico knew he would get their names soon one way or another.

What mostly was occupying his mind was the startling revelation that he and Bianca were part of this world where Greek gods, monsters and heroes exist! Nico couldn't contain his excitement about it. For a year, he had been obsessed with this awesome card game called Mythomagic and he never thought that all those characters he'd been playing were actually real.

He had to pinch himself several times to make sure this wasn't all a dream.

Nico ranted all of this passionately to the satyr, (a freaking satyr!) Grover whom he had believed to be just a normal student hours ago as they walked around the campsite the hunters prepared for them.

They strolled back to the area where the bravest and coolest demigod ever (in Nico's opinion) was tending to his battle wounds. Nico remembered his name was Percy Jackson. gods, I want to be like him when I grow up!

Nico could still recall how the guy rushed in with his glowing sword and determined aura to get him and his sister out of danger. Although, Nico didn't know at that time that monsters and demigods were real, just seeing Percy and his friends in action was enough to get them in Nico's coolest guys list ever.

As Grover started treating Percy's arm, Nico got his first look on a monster gash. "It's green!" He said with delight. This got him weird but understanding looks from the two teens.

Grover told Percy to eat some ambrosia which Nico remembered was the divine food of the gods. He knew that because it was one of the healing products his characters needed to rejuvenate themselves if they were to fall in battle.

Suddenly thinking of showing off his collection to the guys, he rummaged through his bag which the Hunters had conveniently packed for him, though how they knew which stuff were his, Nico badly wanted to know. He laid out a bunch of figurines in the snow—little battle replicas of Greek gods and heroes he collected obsessively throughout the year.

"Big collection," Percy said.

Nico grinned. "I've almost got all of them, plus their holographic cards! Well, except for a few really rare ones."

"You've been playing this game for long time?" He questioned back.

"Just this year. Before that…" He knit his eyebrows in concentration, trying to remember his past times but his mind remained blank.

"What?" Percy asked as Nico fell silent.

"I forget. That's weird." Nico had an uncomfortable feeling about that. It was unsettling but he shoved the feeling aside. He didn't want his good mood to get ruined now. "Hey, can I see that sword you were using?" Nico asked Percy.

Percy extracted a cheap looking ballpoint pen out from his pocket which then conveniently transformed into the awesome bronze sword Nico saw before. He explained to the young boy how it turned from a pen into a sword just by uncapping it.

"Cool!" He even has one of the coolest weapons ever! "Does it ever run out of ink?"

Percy replied uncertainly, "Um, well, I don't actually write with it."

"Are you really the son of Poseidon?"

"Well, yeah."

"Can you surf really well, then?" Nico was getting very enthusiastic in the conversation. Percy was like his favorite game, Mythomagic, brought to life. He wanted to know everything about him.

"Jeez, Nico," Percy said. "I've never really tried."

Nico didn't let the lack of answers deter him. He was really curious about the life of a demigod. It must be so cool!

Nico went on asking questions. Did Percy fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (He didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (Percy looked to be trying to restrain himself from doing something which Nico didn't understand why)

Nico suddenly grew a bit shy asking, "Is Annabeth your girlfriend?"

Before Percy could answer who was quite red in the face, Nico noticed, Zoe Nightshade came up to them. He pouted when his newfound hero left but sighed and instead turned to Grover who previously had an amused look on his face which now turned weary as Nico started questioning him instead.

The same day he found out he was a demigod was the same day that Bianca, his only remaining family, decided to abandon him for the Hunters of Artemis. Nico didn't get it. Why would his sister who had been his only solace of comfort and protection as long as he could remember, just upped and left him now?

She said it would be good for him, that he'd learn a little independence for himself instead of steadily relying on her. She said she'd miss him but she couldn't shake away this great opportunity now. Bianca even used his obsession over Mythomagic against him as she said, "If you were given the chance to be immortal and live with a goddess your whole life, wouldn't you have made the same decision as well?"

Nico couldn't answer her because he actually didn't know if he would do it or not. But one thing's for sure was that he would have never abandoned Bianca to fend off on her own if she were thrust into a new and strange world they were currently facing.

Bianca seemed to take his silence as his compliancy as she suddenly hugged him and told him he would be alright. Nico didn't say anything nor return the hug (though he did kind of lean towards her warmth) before she walked off to join her new immortal family. Nico stared gloomily at her all the way.

However his bad mood didn't last long, as suddenly a white flash of light burst on the horizon and he averted his eyes as it grew nearer, light and warmth intensifying until it suddenly died out.

Nico couldn't believe his eyes when he finally looked to find a glowing red car parked around a perfect circle of dried grass, which explained why Nico felt his clothes were suddenly wet. The driver got out, smiling and if Nico hadn't known better, he would have thought the guy to be a regular good-looking high school jock. But after seeing Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and moon, as a twelve year old girl, Nico knew this guy was probably a god as well.

Man, two gods in one day! How neat is that?!

The man, who introduced himself as Apollo (the Apollo, god of sun!) chatted a little with Artemis and the demigods before escorting all of them to his vehicle.

"Cool car," Nico said.

"Thanks, kid," Apollo grinned.

"But how will we all fit?"

"Oh." Apollo seemed to notice the problem for the first time. "Well, yeah. I hate to change out of sports-car mode, but I suppose…"

He took out his car keys and beeped the security alarm button. Chirp, chirp. For a moment, the car glowed brightly again. When the glare died, the Maserati had been replaced by a shuttle bus like the ones students use to go to school.

"Right," he said. "Everybody in."

There seemed to be a little mishap between the Hunters and Apollo until Artemis intervened and lectured her brother to not touch her hunters. Afterwards she left, which Nico figured was probably because she was going to chase a prey with those awesome hunting skills of hers.

Apollo turned and grinned, jangling the car keys on his finger. "So," he said. "Who wants to drive?"

The Hunters immediately piled into the van. They all crammed into the back, Bianca with them which Nico didn't so much as care at the moment as he excitedly got in the vehicle himself. The only thought crossing his mind was 'I'm stepping inside the actual sun!' Nico could not contain his joy at the thought.

"This is so cool!" Nico said, jumping up and down in the driver's seat. "Is this really the sun? I thought Helios and Selene were the sun and moon gods. How come sometimes it's them and sometimes it's you and Artemis?"

"Downsizing," Apollo said. "The Romans started it. They couldn't afford all those temple sacrifices, so they laid off Helios and Selene and folded their duties into our job descriptions. My sis got the moon. I got the sun. It was pretty annoying at first, but at least I got this cool car."

"But how does it work?" Nico asked. "I thought the sun was a big fiery ball of gas!"

Apollo chuckled and ruffled Nico's hair. "That rumor probably got started because Artemis used to call me a big fiery ball of gas. Seriously, kid, it depends on whether you're talking astronomy or philosophy. You want to talk astronomy? Bah, what fun is that? You want to talk about how humans think about the sun? Ah, now that's more interesting. They've got a lot riding on the sun… er, so to speak. It keeps them warm, grows their crops, powers engines, makes everything look, well, sunnier. This chariot is built out of human dreams about the sun, kid. It's as old as Western Civilization. Every day, it drives across the sky from east to west, lighting up all those puny little mortal lives. The chariot is a manifestation of the sun's power, the way mortals perceive it. Make sense?"

Nico shook his head, grinning. "No."

"Well then, just think of it as a really powerful, really dangerous solar car."

Easy enough, Nico thought.

"Can I drive?"

"No. Too young." He pouted, hating his ten year-old age now.

"Oo! Oo!" Grover raised his hand.

"Mm, no," Apollo said. "Too furry." He looked past Percy and focused on Thalia.

"Daughter of Zeus!" he said. "Lord of the sky. Perfect."

If perfect he meant by death-defying, heart-stoppingly crazy, then Nico wanted to go for another ride again. Unfortunately, they landed (crashed more like) in what looked to be a lake around the borders of a camp they kept mentioning to him before, Camp Half-blood.

I hope this place is better than my previous homes, Nico thought as he climbed off the van.

A/N: So yeah, hope you guys liked that first chappie! Give me a review whether you liked it or not and we'll see from there. ;) If you noticed I lifted some words from the actual book but changed them to fit more into Nico's thoughts since those were originally Percy's. Hope that wasn't a bad thing to do since I did mention a disclaimer up there peeps ^^hehehe
