Hello! Yes I said I would update my other stories first but this came to me while I was Universal today and really wanted to be written. This is only going to be a three chapter story for now. I may write more, I may not. It depends on the response I get and if a have permission to continue. I will be using a character created by a good friend of mine and she was okay with me using said character. You will meet them in the next chapter. For now though-

Disclaimer: I do not own marvel or Percy Jackson or the OC character yet to be introduced. I am not making money off of this, it is strictly for fun.

Enjoy! And Review!

Two Heroes, Two Worlds

PART 1

A Month Before the Death of Maria Di Angelo

"Are you excited Nico?" Maria asked her younger child and only son. The two were waiting in line backstage to see the one and only Captain America in person after his D.C. performance. It was to be his last show before heading overseas to see the troops.

"Yeah!" The small eight year old giggled as he clutched the first addition Captain America baseball cap closer to his chest. "He's so cool! He's my Hero!"

"I'm glad Nicki," Maria smiled and pulled him closer as the dancers swept by to get out of their costumes. I'm so glad Hades could get us these tickets for Nico's birthday. You are welcome my love. Maria almost screamed but managed to hide her reaction as to not draw suspicion. Hades! Don't do that! A deep chuckle reverberated through her skull before the presence withdrew.

"Mom look! There he is!" Nico whispered excitedly as he tugged at her arm. The man in question turned when her herd the sound of the boys voice. A big smile bloomed on the soldiers face at the sight of the excited young boy.

"Mrs. Di Angelo and Nico?" the super soldier questioned when they got closer.

"Yes sir," Maria smiled at the man and reached out to shake his hand. He gently caught hers and shook it politely before turning to the young boy who was bubbling with excitement.

"So I hear it's your birthday Nico," Rogers stated as he crouched down to see eye to eye with the black haired ball of energy. "How old did you turn today?"

"Eight sir!" Nico smiled as he fiddled with the ball cap still in his grip.

"Eight! Are you sure?" the blonde asked teasingly.

"I know I'm small now, I was born too early, but I'll be strong one day!" Nico declared strongly. "Just like you!"

Steve's face was priceless at that declaration. He was stunned that a boy so young looked up to him as a role model. Sure he knew that children looked to him as a hero, but to want to be like him was another thing entirely.

"With that mentality you can be anything you want to be," Steve nodded, he reached out and gently ruffled the young boy's hair. "Did you get anything for you birthday?"

"I got this cool hat! Will you sign it?" Nico asked as he held out the already rumpled looking at hat.

"Of course," Steve smiled and gently took the cap from the boy. He turned and found a pen being held out to him by Howard Stark. "Thanks Howard."

Steve turned the hat around in his hands and took hold of the visor and signed the underside so that the signature wouldn't fade in the sun light when worn. Nico was smiling so widely that it was likely his face would hurt later. Steve took the hat and gently placed it on Nico's head before sweeping the young boy off his feet onto his hip. Nico giggled and held on to the broad shoulders of the American Icon.

"Did you get anything else?" Steve asked the boy that was now eye to eye with him.

"I got a new set of Mytho Magic Cards! I got some really cool ones and a few I already had," Nico said excitedly. He was talking about his favorite thing ever with his favorite person ever. Best. Birthday. Ever.

"Mytho Magic?" Steve questioned with a glance at Maria, who was engaging Howard in conversation a little ways away. She was totally engrossed in what he was talking about and could offer no help. "Is it fun?"

"It's really, really fun" Nico smiled hugely. "I collect as many cards as I can so when I play with other kids I don't have to be afraid of losing. It's a game about Greek creatures."

"I'm glad you enjoy it Nico," Steve smiled again, he really liked this kid. "Do you have any with you?"

"Yeah!" Nico exclaimed and dug around in the pocket of the racer jacket he was wearing. He pulled out a pack of about thirty cards held together with a rubber band. "These are some of my favorite."

Steve walked over to a table that was in the back of the room and sat down with the boy in his lap. "Why don't you show me some?"

Nico's smile could have put the sun to shame. Over the next 20 mins Nico showed the Captain the collection of cards and explained the different beasts and powers associated with the cards. But, all good things come to an end and it was time for Steve to head out to what would become a turning point in the war and a step towards a long icy sleep.

"Nico," Steve said softly to the boy who had finished explaining his passion to him, "it is time for me to go."

Nico looked up at him with his dark black eyes that took on a sad look at the news. He gently nodded his head and began to put his cards back in their deck. He came across the Pegasus card he had in his deck. A Pegasus, or winged horse, who was his personal favorite card in the series.

"Captain Rogers?" Nico asked softly with the card in his hand.

"Yes kiddo?" Steve responded and looked up from the cards he had been gathering.

"I want you to have this one," Nico said nervously, not sure if the man would want one. "It's my favorite card and it is very rare. I want you to have it cause it's got the biggest protection power of any card and maybe it'll help keep you safe."

"Nico," Steve said shocked at the offering. "You want me to have this? From what you've said it's a one in a one thousand find!"

"Yeah," Nico mumbled, "but you'll need it more. It might not actually have anyway to protect you but I've heard that sometimes tokens can help protect people. I can find another one, there is only one you."

"I'd be honored to take this card," Steve said in his best captain America voice. "I'll take good care if it."

"Thank you Sir," Nico smiled at the large man and hugged him around his neck. "It was nice to meet you. Stay safe in the war."

And with that the boy was gone with his mother and Steve was left with a Mytho Magic card to remember the boy with. The card went into his wallet, then from there it was kept in an inside pocket if his uniform when he really joined the war. Whenever he felt lost and needed a little confidence he would take out the card and think of a little black haired, black eyed boy who had believed in him.

When he woke up seventy years in the future the first thing he asked for was the little card, which was returned to him and his wallet. He thought the boy long gone and kept the card a memory of him. Little did he know that he would see that little boy again very soon.
