Summary: Nico di Angelo has a new best friend – Magnus Bane, son of Hecate. Magnus' arrival at camp had been about the most exciting thing to happen since the end of the Giant War.
At least until the Shadowhunters arrive. Jace Wayland, son of Apollo, Isabelle Lightwood, daughter of Aphrodite, and Alexander Lightwood, son of Athena. Demigods from Idris – the European version of New Rome, where demigods call themselves Shadowhunters. They came with a mission, to track down someone who had played a key role in setting up the Giant War many years before it had actually happened. Valentine Morgenstern. The three European demigods ask and receive the help of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter.
And Nico finally gets some revenge on Magnus for always teasing Nico about his feelings for Percy Jackson, because oh, Magnus also seems to know how to pick them...

When the Europeans Come to Visit
Chapter 4: Grover and Simon
"Hey, love. Did I miss anything?", asked Grover with a happy smile as he entered the forest.
Juniper blinked slowly at him before she started laughing, startling the satyr. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a brief kiss, still smiling in utter amusement.
"Oh, you don't know the half of it", chuckled the nymph.
"Okay. Now I'm slightly afraid", grunted Grover and took a step back.
He had been on a mission, sent by Chiron. A 'long con', as Percy had come to call those type of missions by now. Juniper sighed and sat down on a stone, motioning for him to join her.
"So, we have visitors from a European camp called Idris. There are half a dozen children of Hecate currently staying here that used to stay in their own private haven until that got destroyed by some new evil foe. We have a new evil foe. Oh, and Percy and Nico got together", summed Juniper up.
Grover just stared at his girlfriend wide-eyed, stunned. Seriously? He had been gone for not even a month! Two weeks! Two weeks and he decided to check in with everyone at camp again, just to see his best friend and his girlfriend. He hadn't expected the freaking apocalypse.
"Hold on. Percy and Nico. Got together", grunted Grover stunned. "Seriously?! How?"
Juniper chuckled softly and shook her head. "You got to ask him that yourself."
"Oh, I will", confirmed Grover seriously and got up hastily.
/break\
Percy had graciously left the whole interrogation of their captives to a highly motivated Magnus, a Clarisse who looked like it was early Christmas and the very frightening duo of Alec and Annabeth. That had been five hours ago. He wasn't sure if they were done, or if they were still interrogating.
Quite frankly, he really didn't care. He hadn't been this happy in a long time. He was just laying on his bed. Well, no. He was laying on his boyfriend, who was laying on his bed. Nico and Percy had spent two hours just talking about their feelings. Nico, admitting all the years of being in love with Percy and all the things he had been willing to do for Percy. Percy, in return, had admitted to the months of longing for Nico and being jealous of Will and confused by his own feelings. It had been really good, for the both of them, to finally admit those things aloud.
"I love you", hummed Nico lowly, pressing a kiss against Percy's hair.
"That's like the twentieth time you said that since we got back to camp", whispered Percy.
"Because I... I can finally say it", replied Nico. "And you say it back. I'll need some more time to adjust to this new reality of you being my... well..."
"Boyfriend. The word you're looking for is 'boyfriend'", teased Percy as he sat up enough so he could actually kiss Nico properly. "I love you, Nico di Angelo. I love my boyfriend."
The smile on Nico's face was so incredibly warm and soft that it looked nearly out of place on Nico's face. But at the same time, it also looked perfectly right exactly where it was. Percy wanted to put this smile on Nico's face every single day, multiple times. Returning the smile, Percy leaned down to place a very gentle kiss on Nico's lips, his hands on the son of Hades' chest. It was a nice chest. Very firm by now, broad, perfect for laying on. New favorite pillow, definitely.
"Perseus Lir Jackson! How dare you get a boyfriend and not tell me first!"
Percy jumped a little and so did Nico. Nico's first reaction was to push Percy off, only that Percy was not easily pushed off. If Nico thought he was ashamed of their new relationship, then the son of Hades had another thing coming. No, Percy just continued clinging onto him while simultaneously glaring at Grover, who just barged into the cabin, looking utterly betrayed.
"Not the middle name, dude", huffed Percy offended.
"Boyfriend. Without telling me. I feel utterly betrayed", declared Grover, motioning at Nico.
"H—How did you even hear...?", asked Nico surprised and ducked his head.
"I just got back to camp, coming through the forest to say hello to Juniper first. She told me. She heard from Katie, who has it from Malcolm who had it from Annabeth", huffed Grover.
"So... So everyone knows...?", asked Nico, looking at Percy now.
"Oh. Yeah. While you were talking seriously with Magnus, I told Piper, Annabeth, Clarisse about us getting together", replied Percy with a bright smile. "You... did not expect me to keep this on the down-low, right? Because I texted my mom the photo we took. So..."
"Percy", groaned Nico stunned. "How... You..."
"I love you?", offered Percy a bit confused. "It's been months of me pining. And they all had a betting pool going on anyway, so I figured why not just... tell them. Or... didn't you want to...?"
"I mean...", started Nico carefully. "Of course didn't I want to hide it. I'm done hiding. But I also didn't expect all of camp to know within five hours."
All he got in return was a sheepish grin and a kiss from Percy. Grover all the while sighed and collapsed onto the bed next to Percy's, shaking his head at them both.
"Couldn't you have gotten your stuff sorted out a week ago?", sighed Grover.
"Know who actually wins the betting pool now?", asked Percy curiously.
"Not Will. He put February down, because he thought I'd do it Valentine's Day", replied Nico.
"Okay, so. Tell me. How. After all this time", grunted Grover seriously.
"There's a new gay couple at camp. Jace and Alec. Jace says that Alec is essentially like Nico, so he told me how to 'get my man' and... Honestly, I don't know. It's a bit of everything. This new threat, the danger of losing everything again. How close Nico and Will have gotten. This new guy who's now around – Magnus – who gets all chummy with Nico too. I don't know. Jace pushing was just the last thing to tip me over, I guess", replied Percy thoughtfully.
"Will and Magnus? You got jealous over both?", asked Nico stunned, staring wide-eyed.
Percy ducked his head with the smallest blush and Nico couldn't help but pull Percy into a slow, soft kiss. Grover snickered to himself. Damn. It really had been due time for those two morons to actually figure things out. It was good that they finally got together. And the way they looked at each other, it was sickeningly cute. They definitely made each other happy, that much was so obvious. Still, somehow, Grover had expected to be there, or at least to be the first one to hear about it. That was what he got for lengthy missions from Chiron.
"Whe—ere have you even been, G-man?", asked Percy curiously after the kiss broke. "I haven't seen you in two weeks. You don't call, you don't write. I was feeling neglected. I had to make a new, shiny best friend. Heh, literally. He's a son of Apollo."
"Already replaced", gasped Grover, grasping his heart.
Percy grinned dorkily at him. The three of them sat to face each other, Grover grabbing one of the empty energy drink cans from the floor. It was so considerate Percy always kept snacks around for him. Nico and Percy settled down again.
"Well. What kind of long mission were you on?", asked Nico, also curious.
Grover heaved a sigh and leaned in some, voice dropping. "A goddess disappeared."
"No. No", groaned Percy, burying his face in Nico's chest. "I'm changing my name and moving to Alaska. Nico, you can come with me, but I really can't even."
"No one's sending you on a quest, Perce", assured Grover with the smallest smile. "Rach took it."
"...What?", asked Percy stunned, turning his head a little to look at him, but otherwise staying pressed against his boyfriend, Nico happily wrapping his arms around him. "Rachel?"
"Ye—ep. She had a prophecy and she decided to take it herself. 'A hunch', was what she called it", grunted Grover, nodding slowly. "She said not to chase the goddess away, we got to be careful. So she didn't want to send demigods. Instead, she took me and another satyr, Simon, one of the new guys. We're pretty close, actually. We're sure that we have her daughter."
"Her daughter? Hold on. Back that up and start at the beginning", requested Percy confused.
Grover heaved a sigh and collapsed backward onto the bed again. "Sixteen years ago, the goddess Techne disappeared. She just... disappeared. No one knew where to or why."
"Uhm, yeah, catch me up on who that is?", asked Percy, drawing a blank.
"Minor goddess, daughter of Hephaestus, goddess of arts, crafts and skill in general. An artist", replied Nico casually, causing Percy to look at him. "What? I have her Mythomagic Card."
Percy bit his lower lip and leaned up to kiss his boyfriend. "I didn't know you still..."
"Well, Frank... plays with me", muttered Nico embarrassed.
"You have to teach me", declared Percy eagerly, eyes sparkling.
"You don't have to, just for me", assured Nico awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Grover snorted. Those two were going to be that kind of couple. The kind that got so lost in being cute with each other that they forgot the world around them. Then again, for now Grover was going to let it slide, considering they literally only got together today.
"Anyway, so, Techne", interrupted Grover, an amused smile on his face. "She disappeared sixteen years ago without a trace. Being a minor minor goddess, it didn't raise suspicions, because, well, the lesser known minor gods tend to come and go however they please. But now Rachel had this vision about her, indicating that Techne left for a demigod child."
"She... left for one of her children?", asked Percy surprised. "Wow."
"Ye—eah", sighed Grover. "And we think we found that kid. We've been working on befriending her. Her name's Clary. And if I didn't know better, I would say that Clary and Rachel are twins separated at birth. They get along great and we're working on... meeting the parents. To confirm Rachel's theory. Chiron sent us mainly because he found it concerning that Rachel had a vision now. He thought it might have been a 'delay', considering the time we went without a functioning oracle. But... if you say there is a new threat in town..."
"Right. Yeah. Guy named Valentine. Major creep. Fought for the Titan Armies in Europe. Wants to... unclear on the details. Should probably check in with the interrogation of the captives anyway at some point", mused Percy and got up slowly. "So, you think that maybe this vision of Rachel's is because this... Clary... will be important in the battle we're fighting now?"
"It's how those things go", shrugged Grover and bumped shoulders with Percy. "Before the big battle, we get the smaller quests that lead up to it."
"Mh. True", nodded Percy as he linked fingers with Nico before exiting the cabin.
Nico just stared down at their linked hands in total awe. Grover rolled his eyes fondly.
"Interrogations you say? So, you made captives?", inquired the satyr.
"C—Captives? Who did they capture?"
Nico and Percy paused to blink at the bespectacled satyr in front of them. Grover sighed softly.
"Guys, meet Simon. Simon, those are Percy and Nico", introduced Grover briefly.
He really liked Simon a lot. They got along well. Simon loved singing and he didn't mind Grover accompanying him on the pan-flute (Grover had gotten quite good over the years). Simon rambled a lot, a nervous habit, and Grover could kind of relate to it. Simon was still new to actually going on missions and quests, which was kind of why he had picked him. Sending Simon out alone to retrieve a young demigod who didn't know about their powers? Might end in a disaster. Simon going on a quest with Grover, something presumably harmless – which, apparently, was not the case after all considering 'new threat' and all. Honestly, at this point Grover was very much on the same page as Percy; he needed a vacation. They all needed a vacation.
"It's an honor to meet you!", stated Simon wide-eyed, staring at Percy in awe. "I've heard so much from Grover about you! But not just Grover. You're like a superstar among demigods."
"That's too much", laughed Percy embarrassed.
But Nico adapted a teasing gleam in his eyes at that. "No, no. He's totally right. You're a great hero. Mh. Maybe I should ask Rachel to customize me a Mythomagic Card of Perseus II."
"You wouldn't", stated Percy, narrowing his eyes as he blushed.
Nico might not, but oh, Grover totally was going to. He grinned broadly as he made a mental note to ask Rachel to do it once he got back to their base of operation for now.
"Maia!", exclaimed Simon suddenly, very excited.
It startled the other three boys and made them aware of the new people in the center of camp. The huntresses of Artemis. Thalia Grace stood proud and tall, with two girls left and right of her that Grover had never seen before. He exchanged a look with Percy and Nico, silently agreeing to walk over to them. One of the girls next to Thalia cracked a smile and accepted Simon's hug.
"Thalia, you arrived", declared a relieved Annabeth, approaching from the Big House.
Grover exchanged a brief but warm greeting with Annabeth after the blonde hugged Thalia. The daughter of Athena motioned for everyone present to follow her toward the Big House again.
"We appreciate that you came right away", stated Annabeth, resting a hand on Thalia's arm.
"When you call, I come running", chuckled Thalia, nudging her oldest friend. "May I introduce you to my new second and third in command? Maia Roberts and Gretel Monroe."
Both girls nodded in acknowledgment, before Maia returned her attention back onto Simon, making the young satyr smile in relief. Honestly, this whole camp was so overwhelming for Simon. There were so many different demigods, some of them literal living legends all over their supernatural world. Percy Jackson, for example. Simon was currently walking next to Percy Jackson, who was essentially a rock-star of the demigodly world. He had already been honored that Grover thought him capable enough to tag along to this mission with the Oracle of Delphi.
But both Grover and Rachel were incredibly nice and helped him find his footing (hoofing? It was probably supposed to be hoofing, wasn't it? How did he not know that? He had to ask Grover later!). And then the three of them had met Clary Garroway. Simon sighed softly at the thought.
"Hey, daydreamer. What have you been up to?", asked Maia, elbowing him hard.
Maia was a werewolf and she was his best friend. The two of them had been living together, before she had joined the hunt. And after she joined, well, he didn't quite know where to go, which had brought him here, to Camp Half-Blood and into the willing mentor-arms of Grover.
"I met someone!", whispered Simon, cheeks flushed. "A girl."
"A girl?", echoed Maia teasingly, a crooked smile on her lips. "Tell me about her."
"Her name is Clary. She's an artist with a true artist's soul. She just gets me", sighed Simon dreamily. "I sing, she draws. We just... We're made to be, you know? I mean. She doesn't know about the whole... uh... satyr-thing. But she's also a demigod and doesn't know that, so..."
"Try coming clear about both before asking her out", offered Gretel with an edge of cold.
"Ouch. Of course", huffed Simon, puffing his chest out. "But we're not there yet. With our quest, I mean. But once we're done – whenever that is – I am totally going to ask her out on a date."
"Good for you, Si, you deserve it", grinned Maia fondly, nudging him.
He returned her grin and ducked his head, just as they entered the Big House.
There were a lot of people inside already, too many for Simon to actually even focus on them all, so he simply followed Grover, who in return followed Percy, apparently. Percy sat down next to a blonde guy, pulling Nico next to him right away. Grover greeted the strangers and so did Simon.
"Jace, Alec, Magnus, that's Grover and... uhm... Simon, right?", introduced Percy.
"Yes, hi. Great to meet you", confirmed Simon with a smile.
Alec was ridiculously tall and he had a certain dark glower to himself. He had one arm wrapped around Jace, with the gorgeous blonde heavily leaning into him, perfectly fitting under Alec's arm. The two looked like the definition of a power-couple who could totally kick the asses of everyone who tried to even say anything insulting. Simon felt vaguely threatened.
"Okay. What kind of info did you get out of them?", asked Percy curiously.
"You mean while you were busy making out with your boyfriend?", asked Jace teasingly.
"Ho—old on. Boyfriend?", echoed Thalia as she pulled a chair up to sit opposite Percy.
"Ye—eah", nodded Percy with a grin, pointing at Nico. "Boyfriend. Mine."
"Yes!", exclaimed Thalia excitedly, before holding her hands up. "Okay, guys. Pay up."
"...Seriously?", drawled Nico very unimpressed.
Basically everyone in the room – aside from the newbies – pulled out their wallets to hand over money to Thalia. Simon blinked slowly, a bit fascinated by how... calm they all were. Rachel, the oracle, had made it sound pretty much like the threat of the apocalypse. And from what he had heard from the conversation between Percy, Nico and Grover (not that he had meant to eavesdrop. Juniper had told him where to find Grover and he kind of hadn't known what to do, so he had just waited outside and accidentally overheard some stuff), this was a serious threat.
"Basically, Valentine wants world-domination", stated Alec dryly, a bit annoyed by everyone getting distracted. "He's gathering an army. Not just of demigods. He's also using monsters. He wants to overthrow the gods. Thinks it's time for the demigods to take over. More specifically, for him to take over and become the new Zeus, ruler of it all."
"Cool", grunted Percy, leaning against Nico and resting his legs on Jace's lap.
"A—Are you not freaked out?", asked Simon wide-eyed. "World domination?"
"Sociopath wanting world-domination. Yeah, this is my third rodeo", grunted Percy unimpressed. "If I got a dollar for every time a villain monologues about their plans of ruling the world, I would not be going to college, that much is for sure."
"Yeah. Apocalypse is pretty much our Wednesday night", confirmed Thalia.
Percy grinned at her and the two cousins fist-bumped. Simon shook his head in awe. Those people were absolutely crazy. And that assessment was confirmed when Jace started cackling.
"I really like you, Jackson", snickered Jace, elbowing him. "Okay, so. Do we have a plan, or does everyone go to take a nap while the brain-children come up with a plan?"
"...Why do I love you?", drawled Alec dryly.
"It's the sex", hummed Jace seriously. "I'm just that good."
"You're not that good. You're just well-trained. And that was all my work", grunted Alec.
Jace's eyes widened and his ears turned red, while most others close-by snickered, or grunted in annoyance. The only one reacting differently was Magnus however. His eyes flashed as he looked at Alec and Jace for a very long moment, as though he was saving the mental picture. Which was actually what he was doing. Picturing what this implied and what it would look like. And he found himself absolutely approving of it.
"My, Alexander, I did not expect that", commented Magnus lowly as everyone else fell back into conversation, spitballing an actual plan to take care of the situation.
Alec blinked slowly and turned toward the handsome son of Hecate. He had to admit that over the time they had spent together today and last night, Alec found himself being kind of fond of Magnus. He was good company. They had deep, long conversations. He seemed superficial at first sight, but the man cared so deeply. He loved the demigods in his care, he wanted them safe and protected, not unlike how Alec felt about those under his care at Camp Idris. And Magnus had been very blatantly flirting with not just Alec but also Jace, which was a bit of a surprise for Alec. What was even more of a surprise was how Jace seemed to encourage it. Not in a way that indicated that Jace wanted to move on from Alec to a new boyfriend, but – judging from suggestive comments from them both – as a threesome. Which, a part of Alec, found utterly appealing. He knew how gorgeous and wanton Jace could be in bed and he had been wondering what Jace would look like impaled on two cocks. So far, that other cock had belonged to a faceless shadowy figure, but when he looked at the hungry and intrigued look on Magnus' face, he could genuinely picture him. And that was the true surprise.
Author's note: Uhm, I know there's not too much Simon in this chapter but fitting him totally new into this world is kinda hard. It was definitely fun to write Grover again, I don't do that too often.
Next chapter we'll meet our two redheads and have the war unfooold! ;D And maybe Alec and Jace will be talking about our favorite warlock. *snickers and wiggles eyebrows*
