A/N: Sorry some of you couldn't read the other chapters. I figured out the problem. Apparently doesn't like it when you copy and paste your works from other sites onto here. No, I'm not stealing my own work, this is just originally posted on my Ao3 account under my name brittneynr96. I would've updated sooner but I can't edit everything correctly on my phone so I'm forced to do it on my ipod. Hopefully I'll have a few other chapters up soon along with some of my other works. :)
"So gonna fight some crime tonight super bolt?"
Jason finished putting on his costume and turned his head towards Nico who was standing in the doorway. "Maybe. Not much crime goes on here."
"Wouldn't it be cool if you met Batman though?! Then you two could team up and fight crime together! Oh and then you two could defeat the Joker and then you could let me meet Batman and then he'll let me ride in the bat mobile and then we'll go to Gotham City! And th-"
"Nico!" Jason cut him off, "I told you before, Batman doesn't exist, Gotham City doesn't exist. You can't ride in the bat mobile because that doesn't exist. Superheroes don't exist."
"You're a superhero with superpowers and you exist." Nico said smugly. "Unless you're not real and I'm just talking to myself." Jason just rolled his eyes. "I should start my own comic book about you! I could be famous! That'll show Percy who the real hero is! He's such an idiot, I don't know why you like him. Okay I get he knows just about everything about comic books and all the super heroes and their powers but he's so oblivious to everything around him. I always pictured you with someone more outgoing and athletic and not someone like us, comic book nerds. But you can like him if you want. You two are pretty perfect for each other, you're both idiots. But do you know who else is perfect together?"
Jason zoned Nico out and rolled his eyes, he was ready to pull his hair out. He honestly didn't know how Percy could be around him for longer than 5 minutes without going crazy. Then again, they are just alike. Annoyingly passionate about their comic books and they bonded over their love for superheroes. Nico has always been like a little brother to Jason, an annoying one at times, but a brother nonetheless and so he was a little hesitant when Nico came to him all excited explaining that he met a friend on some social media site who loved comic books just like him. But who could blame him? Jason didn't want this to be some sort of prank on Nico again, Jason was pretty much his only friend. Well he has Leo, Frank, and all of Jason's friends but he isn't close with anyone other than Jason. So when he heard Nico talk about this guy he met online named 'Percy' he was hesitant but he didn't want to make Nico stop talking to his new "friend" so he made Nico video chat with him so he could meet him.
Jason knew the moment he saw Percy that he was legit. He didn't know anyone other than Nico, who's room was decked out in Marvel items. The kid had posters of superheroes all over his walls, a Captain America shield replica in the corner, a bookshelf of comic books, every superhero movie ever made, and a few figurines on a shelf by his bed. He even had a Marvel's bedspread. There was no way this kid could've been fake, no one would've went through this much trouble in such little time to pull of a prank. Jason even met his mom who was also relieved to know that her son made a friend. Like Jason, she too was hesitant to learn that her son made a friend over some social media site and worried that this was just another cruel joke.
For a while Jason felt forgotten and a little jealous that Nico sorta replaced him with his new friend Percy. And he admit, he was little bitter and harsh to the guy, but hey, in his defense Nico canceled their Harry Potter marathon that they do once a month for Percy. They never cancelled anything with each other for someone else! Well except Comic Con but that's it!
Apparently Nico sensed that Jason was jealous and that Percy didn't think Jason liked him, which was true at the time, so he forced the two to spend time together. It was awkward at first but once Percy mentioned he was a Potter Head it was all it took for Jason to approve of Percy and claim him. The three of them have been friends for 4 years now and Jason doesn't know how he ever lived without knowing Percy, he's completely lost without his nerd if they don't see or hear from each other for more than a few hours, they never go a day without talking to one another.
Jason didn't realize he was developing a crush on Percy until Nico pointed out how close they were and since then, Jason started noticing everything about Percy. How he bites his lip when he's excited or nervous, how his eyes light up when Harry Potter is on, how cuddly he is when he's tired, how good his bed hair looks when he wakes up, how strong his love for blue food is. Jason didn't really understand that one but he loved that about Percy.
"..and then h-" Nico let out a frustrated sigh and rolled his eyes. "Jason! Are you even listening to me?"
"Huh? What? Yeah I'm listening."
Nico crossed his arms over his chest and gave Jason a look. "Then what did I just say?"
"Uhh.." Jason turned away from Nico and let out a breath and bit his lip looking back at Nico. "Something about Batman?"
Nico rolled his eyes, "You really need to stop day dreaming about Percy and just tell him how you feel before I do."
"You better not tell him Di Angelo."
"Or what? What are you gonna do Grace?"
"You won't get to meet Batman."
"Thought you said he wasn't real." Nico smirked and walked out the room.
