Will was out the door before his cabin mate could react. He shouted towards Will, but Will was already sprinting towards the infirmary. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

'It's Nico. He's dying.'

How the hell could Nico be dying?! He was perfectly fine during the celebration. He gave Will a warm smile and everything. He didn't look like he was in pain or discomfort. But what if he was? What if he was just hiding his pain, and Will was just to stupid to realize it? That's exactly the sort of thing Nico would do. Hide his suffering so no one else could notice. Will cursed at himself. He should have realized something was wrong with Nico. Why didn't he? He pushed himself harder to get to the infirmary. He couldn't afford to lose even a mere second. That could be the difference between life and death for Nico. His life was hanging in the balance, and Will couldn't get there fast enough. Feet eating up the ground as he pushed himself to his limits. He practically flew into the infirmary. Only then did he notice that the doors had been blown off their hinges. Will ignored that and dashed down the hallway towards the emergency room. He bursted through the doors and the sight he saw made his heart stop.

Nico di Angelo was hooked up to a heart monitor with IVs and several other medical equipment attached to him. He had an oxygen mask tied to his face, and Will saw that he was receiving blood intravenously. Apollo healers were running around cleaning up the blood on his face and yelling orders at one another. Everyone was frantically moving around trying to get some ambrosia and nectar and fix the IV bags. Will was frozen on the spot. He didn't do anything except stare at Nico's dying form. One of the Apollo healers notice Will and rushed over to him.

"Will! Oh, thanks the Gods you're here! We need your help!" He pleaded. Will was brought out of his trance as he glanced at the healer, then at Nico, and then back at the healer.

"What happened to him?!" Will questioned panicking. The healer wiped his forehead with a napkin before looking back at Will with a serious expression.

"I don't know. One second everything was normal, and the next second, Percy comes bursting through the doors carrying Nico in his arms. He was unconscious, but his nose was bleeding and he was barely breathing. We immediately hooked him up to IVs and started feeding him nectar and ambrosia, but he isn't responding. His powers are nearly depleted, and his condition hasn't gotten much better. The nectar and ambrosia have prevented his condition from worsening, but Will...it's bad. Really bad. His body was fading slightly when Percy brought him in. There isn't much else we can do." The healer laid down the gruesome facts. Will's breath caught in his throat. It took him a few minutes to collect himself. He couldn't afford to stand there, dumbfounded. He needed to be by Nico's side. To do everything he can to save him. He steeled himself and headed over to where Nico lay on the medical bed. He examined the heart monitor. Nico's heartbeat was slightly uneven, but nothing too serious. That reassured Will a little. Nico wasn't in immediate threat of dying. He turned towards the other healers who were looking at him, waiting for his orders.

"How long has it been since you fed him nectar and ambrosia?" He questioned.

The healer who informed him of Nico's current condition spoke up.

"Not to long before you arrived. I say about 10 minutes ago." He informed. Will nodded and looked back at Nico. He was ghostly pale. He had a heated cloth on his forehead.

"Have you figured out what caused the bleeding from his nose?" Will questioned as he replaced the heated cloth with a new one. Nico's temperature was low, even by his standards.

"No, we haven't. Everything seems to be fine on the inside. We believe it's a side effect from his power depletion." Nico's body didn't seem to be fading at the moment. It pained Will to see Nico in this condition, so weak and fragile, but he had to remain focus. He couldn't let himself be distracted. Will ran all of the information he had gathered in his mind. No internal or external injuries. No declining heartbeat. Just severely low temperatures and power depletion. There wasn't much else they could do. Will didn't like it one bit. There had to be something else he could do! Anything!

"Will!"

Will snapped his head back up to see everyone staring at him. They were waiting for his orders. Will shook his head and composed himself. He needed to be in control. Everyone was counting on him. He couldn't fail Nico.

"Okay, try to feed him some more ambrosia and nectar. Not too much. If there's no internal injuries then remove the tube in his mouth. Let's try and raise his temperature and stabilize his breathing. His power depletion is the main cause of his slow recovery. We will figure out a way to help him recover it, but for now, let's start with what we can do now." Will stated with clear resolve. Everyone nodded and got to work. It would be a long process.

Percy sat in the waiting room with his elbows propped up on his knees, head resting on his hands, and staring at the clock. How long had he been here? An hour? Two hours? He couldn't tell anymore. He just sat there and stared at the clock, willing it to move faster. The only sounds he heard were the annoying tick-tock of the clock and other little hospital noises. Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Leo, and even Calypso had come to see Nico. Chiron had stopped by to see how everything was and said he would come back when Nico was awake. Jason had explained everything that had happened. Everyone wore sorrowful and worried expressions. They sat there waiting for someone to come by and tell them how Nico was doing. No one had any doubts that Nico wouldn't be okay. Nico was many things, and being a fighter was one of them. They knew Nico would pull through this and be okay. They believed it with every fiber of their being. All they had to do was sit there and wait for their friend to get better.

Just then, the doors to the ER opened and everyone was on their feet in an instance. Will Solace walked up to the group with an exhausted expression. He looked worse for wear, but still managed a smile at the group as he spoke up.

"Everything is fine. Nico is safe. He is in no danger, whatsoever. He's sleeping right now. He's going to be asleep for awhile, it seems. It will take a while for him to fully recover his power, so until then he will be bedridden for a few days. Other than that, everything seems normal. He's breathing fine and there are no internal or external injuries. He'll be completely okay by the time he wakes up." Will reassured with a smile. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. It made Will exhale a breath he didn't know he was holding. Seeing there smiling faces warmed him up inside. Nico had really great friends. He was happy for that, and for the fact that Nico will pull through perfectly okay. If Will wasn't so tired, he would be jumping up and down with sheer happiness.

"That's wonderful!" Percy exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. Annabeth ran over and gave Will a big hug, which he returned wholeheartedly.

"Thank you for everything Will. We wouldn't know what we would have done without you. Thank you again." Annabeth said with joy as she hugged Will again. Will couldn't stop smiling.

"Not at all. I wanted to do everything I could to help Nico. You don't have to thank me, really." Will said sheepishly.

"Yes, we do! You're our best healer. It was all thanks to you that Nico is better." Piper said honestly. She didn't have to charmspeak Will into believing her. It was the truth.

"Yeah, she's right Will. It's all thanks to you Nico pulled through. You did great." Jason replied with a smile.

"Yeah, man! If anything ever happens to me, which something probably will, I'll make sure to have you as my personal healer." Leo chimed in with his overflowing enthusiasm.

"Thank you for helping our friend." Calypso said. She didn't even know Nico, and yet, she considered him a friend. That made everyone happy knowing Calypso was getting along with everyone.

"Really, Will. Thank you for your help. We really appreciate it." Percy said as he placed his hand on Will's shoulder. He gave Will a friendly smile, and Will thought his lips might fall off from smiling so hard.

"Can we see him?" Piper asked.

"Not yet. I'm sorry, but once we make sure his condition doesn't get worse, we will move him to a resting room. You can see him then." Will said with an apologetic look. Annabeth gave him a reassuring smile.

"It's alright, we understand. Will you let us know when you have moved him to his room?" Will nodded.

"Yes, I'll make sure to let you all know once he has settled in his room. In the meantime, you all should go back to your cabins and rest. You look like you've been here all morning." Percy and Jason huffed out a small laugh. They were here all morning because they were the ones who found Nico and brought him here. They were worn out from having to deal with Nico's dreadful outburst. Now that they know their friend was safe, a little nap sounded heavenly.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Make sure you get some rest too. Thanks again, Will." Percy replied.

Will smiled. "Don't worry, I will. Thanks."

Percy turned around to leave, but then turned back around to face Will. He had an apologetic smile on his face. He scratched the back of his head as he spoke.

"Oh, and sorry about the doors. I didn't mean to break them." He replied sheepishly. Will just laughed.

"It's alright, don't worry about it." He waved him off. Percy just smiled.

Everyone said their goodbyes before they all headed back to their cabins. Will let out another sigh of relief before he headed back to the ER to check up on Nico.
