Nico was visiting Camp Jupiter and was bringing his boyfriend (Will Solace) over to introduce to Reyna, Hazel, and Frank. After arriving via shadow travel and getting a scolding from the son of Apollo, they went off to look for Reyna. As soon as Nico introduced Will as his boyfriend to Reyna, the praetor grabbed said boyfriend and slammed him against the wall. Nico stood there trying not to smile as Will tried not to avert his gaze from the eyes of the praetor.

"If you do anything to hurt him, physically or emotionally, I will—" she warned threateningly.

"Right, right! I won't, I swear on the River Styx!" Will stammered out.

Reyna let him go, gave Nico a hug, and walked off. She wondered if she had been too harsh to Will until she later noticed Will up against the wall again as Hazel interrogated him.
