So sorry for the wait, and this chapter's not the best either, but I felt bad for not updating for a while.

Chapter 3

One week later

In just a matter of one week, Beast Boy had managed to annoy the absolute crap out of Nico. One minute, the Ghost King was enjoying the peace and quietness of his room, the next, the Changeling would be knocking on his door, telling Nico to come out of his room sometime, and saying that they didn't need another Raven on the team. Nico would normally snort, scare the living hell out of Beast boy and tell him to go away, before going and contacting Percy to see how Camp was holding up. But today, Beast boy had crossed the line.

"Come on G! Pllleeeasssseeee!" whined Beast boy.

Nico rolled his eyes as he kept silent and waited for the Changeling to go away.

"Humph, I bet he's not even in there anyways." humped said boy.

"Hey Cyborg, what's the code for overriding locks again?" he asked.

"Why…?" Cyborg asked suspiciously, but as soon as he saw the door to Nico's room, his eyes widened.

"What? NO! BB, are you crazy? He's our guest, don't go in poking around his room, we don't know what might be in there. I really don't want to be stuck in a mirror again." The semi-metallic teen looked embarrassed at the last part.

"Aw, but c'mon. You know you want to! I mean, what happens if he turned out to be Slade's new apprentice or something? It could happen." exclaimed Beast Boy.

Cyborg was silent after that, before he proceeded to punch the keys on the control panel next to Ghost King's room door. It was then, when Nico realised what was going on as he sprinted towards the door as it began to slide open.

Too late.

Nico had successfully made a wall of shadow so that the two teen titans wouldn't get a peek into his room, but Beast Boy had caught a glimpse of the torches, the black, Leo's awesome yet weird looking contraption and…'shit!' thought Nico, remembering the Iris-message as he stormed outside.

"Never. Ever. Do that again if you want to keep your precious little mor- I mean precious little life, got it?" roared Nico.

Beast boy ad Cyborg cowered in the corner as they nodded rapidly, before dashing off down the hallways. Beast boy had the nerve to look back as he caught the furious Ghost King's glare, and the changeling swore he saw black-ish like fire burning with fury in his obsidian black eyes.

"And I thought Raven was scary." panted Cyborg as the two entered the living room.

"Huh?" said Raven, narrowing her eyes at them.

"What did you two brats do this time?" she asked menacingly, as Robin turned from the TV and raised an eyebrow at them.

"Well…we thought G wasn't in his room, so we kind of tried to open his door, and—" but Cyborg was cut off as Robin shot up from his seat.

"You did WHAT?" he yelled.

Cyborg and Beast Boy visibly flinched at the boy wonder's outburst.

"He is our guest, and you saw the amount of power he has, we don't want him on out bad side. He's probably furious at you," scolded Robin, rubbing his temples.

"Oh come on, you've got to admit that there's something fishy about this guy." reasoned Cyborg as Beast Boy nodded.

"Yeah, I even saw his room, and man, this guy has nothing on Raven."

Raven rolled her eyes at this, but motioned for them to continue.

"He painted the walls black, black with skeletons and stuff all over the walls, as if he's already permanently staying here. There were like these two torches on either side of his bed, both burning fire that was green, green!"

Cyborg frowned at this.

"Wait…if he had fire in his room, why didn't the fire alarms go off?" he wondered.

Beast Boy waved his hand dismissively.

"Let me finish. Anyways, then I saw this weird bronze contraption on the table in his room, with these two freaky metal hands sticking out. There were also like, pieces of black armour all over the ground, along with knifes and daggers." continued Beast Boy.

"Er…yeah. Ghost King prefers to fight with swords and stuff, you saw him last week. Nothing abnormal about that part." said Raven.

"No, that's not the weirdest part. The last thing I saw was this weird head of a dude which floated inmid-air, no strings even! Like, it wasn't an actual human head, just an image that was floating, and it moved! Like a floating TV." exclaimed Beast boy.

Robin rubbed his fingers to his temple yet again, looking troubled.

"We have to look more into this guy, he just gets weirder and weirder, I mean, he hasn't even come out of his room all week. What does he even eat?" asked Robin.

"Dude, what the Hades was that?" asked Percy as Nico let out a frustrated sigh.

"I hate living with mortals." He said simply.

Percy let out an understanding 'ah…' before raising his eyebrows.

"Wait…I saw one of them, why were they green?" he asked.

Nico snorted.

"I have no idea, and frankly, I don't think I want to."

"Aw, come on Neeks. You've got to go find out more about your little group of super friends, seriously."

Nico narrowed his eyes at his cousin, for he hated it when he was called 'Neeks'.

"Easy for you to say, at least you can stand mortals, why didn't they send you instead?" groaned Nico in annoyance.

"For one thing, Zeus likes you more than me." stated Percy.

Nico rolled his eyes at this.

"Yeah, at least your dad wasn't kicked off Olympus." he snorted.

Percy waved his hand dismissively.

"Oh, it doesn't even matter now."

But the Iris-message shook violently as Percy's end of the message went fuzzy, and a loud bang was heard.

"Percy?" said Nico as stiffened; he grabbed his sword from the robotic-sword polisher from Leo.

"Sorry Nico, that was a catapult from mother dirt-face. I have to go." said Percy hurriedly as he un-capped his Riptide.

"Wait! I'll come." said Nico, but Percy shook his head.

"No, you stay. I'm sure this is nothing, I'll contact you if we need you, but for now, bye."

And with that, Percy sliced his sword through the message, completely cutting off the connection. Nico could only stare at where the Iris-message was moments ago, before getting up and getting out of his room for the first time.

A/N Please note: I only intend this story to be around maybe 6-7, maybe 8 chapters long, it won't go as long as 10 chapters, because I have other stuff to do, sorry about that for those who wants to read longer stories. Thanks for reading, next chapter will be more interesting, I promise! :)
