OKAY GUYS, BACK WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER. READ AND REVIEW AND THINKS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REVIEIWED ON THE LAST CHAPTER! LEAVE SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU PLEASE!

OKAY AND SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, I WAS DOING OTHER STUFF, READING THE LOST HERO AMONG THAT STUFF… WELL ACCTUALLY I READ LOST HERO, SON OF NEPTUNE AND STARTING MARK OF ATHENA.

BUT DON'T WORRY, THIS STORY WON'T BECOME THAT ONE, I'M JUST GOING TO PUT A FEW REFRENCES TO IT HERE AND THERE, A MENTION OF A CHARATER OR A PLOT PIECE, BUT DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THAT SEREIES.

OH YEA, QUICK REMINDER, JUST AFTER EPISODE 7 OF SEASON 1, SO ROUGE IS AN X-MEN, BUT BEAST HASN'T COME INTO THE PICTURE YET.

Nico arrived back at the Orphanage and went straight up to his room, unaware that the fly next to his head had been following him since he left the school.

The Son of Hades deposited his backpack on the floor and flopped down on his bed. Nico debated if he wanted to get started on that homework that instant or not. It wasn't much, but it was still homework that involved a lot of reading.

Nico's thoughts eventually trailed back to the monster attack. Of course Nico hadn't thought that a monster wasn't going to find him here sooner or later, but he also wasn't expecting one on the first day of school. At least the manticore had let him be settled in for a few months before attacking at that school dance.

But then again, Nico wasn't known very well back when he was 10 years old.

Maybe this school had a monster for a Vice Principal as well, or maybe even Miss. Darklhome was a monster. She was rather rude, but then again, Nico knew lots of rude and dismissive adults. It was a silly thought, Nico decided, he was being paranoid. Right?

He pushed the thoughts of monsters out of his head for now and took out his Biology textbook and assignment. It took a while, but Nico managed to finish it. However, Nico decided to not start the novel for English just yet. He would probably regret that decision later but who cares.

Now what to do, what to do? Homework done, monsters killed, no big threat to end the world, no issues with the gods, not much for Nico to do at the moment.

CRASH! HISS! ROAR!
Scratch that, monsters not killed, Nico now has something to do. He looked out his window to see a Hydra tearing up the park across the street from the orphanage.

How did a Hydra just manage to just show up without notice, Nico didn't know, but what he did know is that he had to take that thing down before it did too much damage and/or hurt someone… but then again, if anyone got hurt, it would probably be Nico because he was literally about to go marching up to the mulit-headed, acid spitting hydra dragon thing with a sword while everyone else fleed away like normal and smart people do.

But then again, very few people would be able to see through the mist to realize it was a hydra, Nico often wondered what the mortals thought they saw rather than a giant acid spitting lizard tearing up the park.

No time to thing about that now.

The next thing Nico knew, he stumbled out of the shadow of a tree directly behind the beast.

He lifted his sword and prepared to attack, mentally reminding himself not to cut the heads off unless he wanted more than the 10 heads that could fire acid and bite him in half. It was obvious from the amount of heads this thing already had, it had experience fighting a demigod or two… at least… and seeing how it was still alive, it had probably won those battles too.

Nico crept up on the thing, attempting to get closer to it to just go in and stab it through its heart or something.

Unfortunately, that didn't go to well, the Hydra turned around and twenty-er- nineteen eyes settles on him. (Poor thing had one eye missing on the furthest head to the left.)

Nico sprang to the left, just in time to not get melted by the puddle by acid that had been shot had him. Nico rolled a few times and got to his feet quickly. He sighed, this might take a while.

XAVIER MANSION

The Cerebro computer was going crazy. It had stronger readings that it ever had before, for anyone or thing.

"What is it professor?" Jean asked as she, with Scott, Kitty, Kurt, Rouge, Wolverine, Storm and Evan ran in through the door.

"It's a signal I have never seen on Cerebro before, it's more powerful than anything I've ever seen before," Xavier said.

"Where?" Scott asked.

"The park," the professor replied.

"We all better go check it out if its something this strong and this close to home," Wolverine growled.

"Yes, we should all go," Storm agreed.

"I will stay here and track this- thing, whatever it may be, should it move from it's current location," the professor said.

The X-men nodded and ran-or in Kurt's case, teleported- off to get into their mission suits on.

They loaded up in the X-Van and they got to the park as quickly as they could.

What they saw shocked them on so many levels.

"Get down here," Mystique said into the cell phone and closed it.

She had just gotten off a call with Pietro back at the boarding house. The Brotherhood would be here any second. She told them to come prepared for a fight.

The boy, Nico had just disappeared into the shadows from the room, and then reappeared behind the-dragon maybe- that was in the park across the street. Mystique knew there were a lot of things in the world that didn't classify as normal, but a 10 headed dragon was something she never expected to see.

Nico taking on that dragon that apparently spit acid was another thing she didn't think would happen.

It was a good thing the Brotherhood boarding house was just down the road.

Outside…

Nico's fight wasn't really getting anywhere. The hydra spit acid, he rolled and dodged, he slashed with his sword, the hydra dodged and snapped at him. A few trees had been knocked over and there were several acid burn holes in the ground.

Nico was wishing he could get some help, but there was no way for him to contact any other demigods that could come to his aid. He didn't know anyone in this area and he couldn't exactly send an Iris Message at the moment.

And as much as he was wishing for help. He didn't expect a group of teenage mortals in strange outfits to come to his aid.

A large black van pulled up to the park. Two adults and six teenagers hopped out. They were all clad in black with some color and all wore an X somewhere on their suit.

The adult in the more orange suit stepped forwards and three metal claws extended from each hand.

Then a green jeep pulled up and four more teenagers pulled up.

Nico's mind suddenly clicked. All the teens here, he knew all of them, kinda. The teens clad in black and X's were the kids he ate lunch with at school and the other four were the people he ran into in the halls that morning.

He was so distracted that he nearly got chomped in half.

He forced his mind back on his fight. He couldn't afford to let his guard down again, then both he and these people were going to get hurt, or more likely killed.

"Whoa, yo, Mystique wasn't kidding when she said there was a fight here," Toad said as he watched the Hydra lunge at Nico.

"Hey, ain't that the new kid?" Lance asked.

"What's he doing here?" Blob asked, "And is that a sword?"

"Who cares, he's fighting a dragon, and the X-Geeks are here. Let's go kill a dragon and kick but!" Pietro exclaimed.

"What is that!" Kitty exclaimed when she saw the Hydra.

"I don't know, but we've gotta help that kid!" Scott exclaimed.

Evan fired a few spiked at the Hydra. They simply bounced off it's scales, but it got the things attention.

"Run, now," Nico yelled, "Get out of here!"

"Not a chance!" Scott replied and fired a beam out of his visor. The Hydra didn't like that and the X-Men had to dodge an acid attack.

The ground began to shake, courtesy of Lance, and the Hydra, as well as everyone else, lost balance. Where the Hydra didn't fall over completely, it did stumble.

"Yo, ugly!" Toad yelled as he spat some good onto one of the head's, covering it's eyes. One of the other heads ripped off the goo.

Storm shocked it with a lightning bolt, which made it stumble again, and then Wolverine charged it. He extended his claws to full length.

"Wait no don't!" Nico yelled but it was to late, Logan sliced off two of the heads. The thing stumbled back.

"NO! Don't cut off the heads! It's a Hydra!" Nico yelled, "Two more will just grow back for each one you cut off!"

And sure enough, the 10 headed Hydra, lost two heads and became and 8 headed Hydra, then 4 more heads instantly grew back, making it a 12 headed Hydra.

Nico's shouting got the things attention once again. It roared and charged at him. It spat acid from two of its heads, Nico dodged and slashed at its legs. It wasn't a fatal blow, but the sword made a pretty deep cut in the things front leg.

The Hydra reared in pain and glared at the Demigod. Almost all of the heads got ready to spit acid, there was no way Nico could dodge that many blasts.

Then in a blur something ran past him, grabbed his shoulders, and the next thing Nico knew, he was sitting on the ground next to frog boy.

A extremely large hole was left in the ground where the acid had been poured from the hydra's mouth.

Nico got to his feet and started looking for an opening. He needed a place to stab the Hydra.

He settled for a spot on it's back, directly behind the two middle heads. It would be hard for any of the Hydra heads to reach him right there. He just needed to get around back of the creature.

Another lightning bolt hit the Hydra. For a moment, Nico thought it might have been Zeus helping him, but it was the woman, Storm. IT distracted the Hydra, getting its attention back on the X-men. It's back was turned on Nico for the moment.

Nico took the chance. He ran and climbed onto it's back. He took his sword and plunged it into the Hydra's back. It went right though the though scales and into its heart.

All the heads squealed in pain. Then the Hydra exploded into yellow powder. The only thing left behind were the two heads Logan had cut off earlier. Nico stood up from where he had landed. Everyone was looking at him.

"I told you to leave," was all he said.

"I'm used to being thanked when I help someone," Scott said.

"Thanks. Bye," Nico began walking towards a tree.

"Wait, where are you going!" Jean called, "What was that! Where did it go."

"I told you. It was a Hydra, it's dead. It's back in Tartarus where it belongs," Nico replied.

"You can't just leave!" Lance called.
"Watch me," Nico said and stepped into the shadows, which consumed him and just like that, Nico was gone.

Mystique had become a fly once more, just before Nico walked out of the shadows and into his room. Nico peeked out the window to see the confused X-men and Brotherhood starting in the park, still trying to figure out what had just happened.

"How could they see through the mist?" Nico whispered to himself.

That wasn't the only question on Nico's mind though. All of the people down there had powers. Nico thought about the possibility that they could be Demigods, but he dismissed the idea.

All of them were over 12. The gods would of claimed them and they would be at the camps if they were half-bloods. And besides, if they had all been demigods, there would be a lot more than just a Hydra, that showed up today, and a Dracanae, who showed up around the same time he did.

And they were all really confused, it was obvious none of them had ever seen a hydra or any other monster for that matter before.

The wolverine guy poked the hydra heads with his claws, like he was examining them. Nico should probably do something about those heads. They shouldn't just be left around.

Nico was so wrapped up in his thoughts, he didn't notice the fly flying out through the slightly opened window.

Nico flopped down on his bed. This was the reason why he hated school. Normal school and Demigods should never mix.

ALRIGHT, SO THERE'S CHAPTER 2, HOPE YOU LIKED IT. THEY'LL BE MORE INTERACTION BETWEEN X-MEN AND BROTHERHOOD AND NICO IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. REVIEW AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE SUGESTIONS AND STUFF.

I OWN NOTHING.
