Getting up early was not one of the conditions Annabeth had mentioned the night before, and Nico was not happy to find out that it had to be complied. What did make his early morning worthwhile was his very very handsome and shirtless fiance just starting to wake up.

"Morning, mi amor," Nico whispered to Will who just groaned and snuggled closer, his body heat higher than a normal person's, but Nico loved him like this.

Will always worried about others before himself, he was a doctor after all, but Nico loved it when Will was just a little selfish.

"We have to meet the Avengers today," Will groaned into Nico's neck who smirked,

"You signed us up for this, because 'I don't have a shift tomorrow and your father hasn't called you in for a job in months'," Will pouted and Nico could feel it against his skin.

"I just want to be lazy, and have fun in bed today," Nico blushed at Will's words, Will could sense this and laughed.

"You can't blame me, my extremely sexy fiance is just lying here with some very stylish bed hair," Will's lips connected with Nico's and they moved in sync.

It was sleepy and sloppy, but Nico wouldn't have it any other way.

"I really do love you, but we have to get going or Annabeth will actually murder us," Nico whispered in between kisses. Will sighed but agreed to get dressed.

Both Nico and Will dressed casually, Will in a bright yellow t-shirt with jeans and Nico in an MCR t-shirt with black skinny jeans.

A knock came from their door and Nico went to answer it, seeing Annabeth in her facial changing technology. "Hey, Annabeth," she walked inside and they both waited for Will who always took longer with his hair. Nico usually just put his in a short ponytail.

"Amour, are you ready yet?" Nico called and Will ran out of their room,

"Yes! All ready, are we leaving?" Will looked at Annabeth who nodded.

"Yes, and remember, I am Natasha Romanov, a friend that you met while I was on a mission in Italy, where you were spending a holiday," Nico and Will both nodded and walked out the door with Annabeth.

They got to the tower with no problem and had no trouble getting into the place because Natasha just told people they were with her (which wasn't a lie).

Nico, Will, and Natasha rode the elevator up to the Avenger's main floor where Tony, Steve, Thor, Bruce, and Clint were hanging out.

As soon as Natasha got out of the elevator, all conversation stopped.

"Hey, Natasha, who are these guys?" Tony asked and Natasha rolled her eyes.

"These are my friends, Fury won't give me time off for their wedding so I'm here to show him that I actually have a life outside of work,"

"That's great and all, but who are they," Tony talked to her like she was a two-year-old and Natasha did not appreciate it.

"This is Will Solace and Nico di Angelo," Thor dropped his mug.

"Nico di Angelo and Will Solace?" he asked in awe, both of the demigods nodded awkwardly, Thor raced to them and started asking question after question in Ancient Greek so that the other Avengers couldn't understand.

Nico and Will had a pleasant conversation with Thor who wouldn't stop gaping at them.

"Uh, Nat, you know any friend of yours is a friend of mine, but why is Thor looking at them like that?" Steve asked, a little wary.

"They've done some things that Thor finds inspiring. In fact, I think you'd get along with Nico," Nico heard his name and looked over to Steve and Natasha.

"Did someone say something?" he asked, eyeing Steve warily.

"Yeah, Natasha here think we would get along well for some reason, I'm-"

"Steve Rogers," Nico interrupted him, "The soldier who killed that most Italians in world war two," Steve raised his eyebrow at that,

"Usually people know me as Captain America, but how would you know how many Italian's I've killed?" Nico laughed a harsh cold laugh.

"I was there, I was born in the 1930s, Italy, and my family was told that we had to help with the war effort, I was ten and my sister was thirteen. I was visiting some of my friends, there was a small battle and you came over the hill with your little group of friends," Nico closed his eyes as though reliving a memory, "Have you ever been the only remaining person after a battle, only because you were so small that you could hide in a vegetable crate?" Steve was staring at the boy in shock.

"I never supported that Nazis, never agreed with their ideas and methods, and neither did many of my friends, who were soldiers, but you killed them anyway, you weren't the one to tell their mothers what happened, that had to hear the screams of their sisters, the one that had to look into the eyes of all the dead to check and see if they might be alive, just maybe," Nico's breath shuddered.

Will had a 'Nico sense' as everyone called it, he knew when something was wrong, and he was getting that feeling now.

Will turned around to see Nico talking with Steve Rogers Oh no, Will though, Nico had told him the stories about his childhood in Italy. Will knew that Nico never supported the Nazis, in fact, his mother had baked them a cake the day the Americans joined the war, but being forced to hide in a vegetable crate while a super soldier and his friends killed people you considered to be older brothers, that might have put Nico off of the Americans for a while.

Just because he doesn't like the Nazis doesn't mean he has to love the Americans.

Will walked over to Nico and saw that Nico's face was like stone, a sure sign that he was dying inside.

Walking up behind him, Will placed his hand on Nico's shoulder and immediately Nico relaxed a little, leaning into Will. (AN: I swear I don't hate Capsicle, but Nico was raised during WW2 and in Italy, which was Germany's ally, he was probably surrounded by people who hated the allies, this includes Captain America).

"Natasha, where is that boss you want us to meet?" Will asked, using his soothing voice as he always did when Nico was like this.

"He should be arriving soon, I'm sorry Nico, you never talk about this stuff, I had no idea," Nico gave her a small smile.

"It's ok, Natasha, It's my fault for agreeing to come and not telling you, can I just go to the restroom?" Natasha nodded and gave them directions. Nico walked off with Will staying behind.

"I'm sorry about him, he was raised around people who hates you and then you came and killed a lot of his friends, you can't really blame him," Will trailed off and Steve nodded, though he looked sad.

"In some ways, I forgot that I was killing actual people and that they didn't want to be there," Steve's eyes went kind of blank and Will gave him a little smile,

"Don't worry about it, I'm a doctor which means I have to understand the concept of mortality a lot faster than others. It's probably messed me up psychologically, but I don't like to think about It," Will smiled.

"You're a doctor?" Bruce asked from the other side of the room and Will nodded,

"Yeah, I've been training since I was-"

"14, mi amor," Nico had come back and was looking better than before, he smiled lovingly at Will who blushed,

"I did some medical things when I was 14, but I wasn't really training-"

"You saved me from a poisoned knife wound and got me back on my feet in less than a day, you were 14," Natasha said and WIll's face flushed even more.

"You saved me when I had used all of my strength in battle and made me recover, you probably saved more than half the people in that battle, even if you couldn't save everyone, you showed more bravery than any many soldiers," Nico gave Will a kiss on the cheek and Will smiled,

"It's not that big of a deal, I was just doing my job, but delivering Mellie's baby was not fun. I'm not even a midwife!" Nico laughed while Will just looked exasperated.

"Agent Romanov," Came a sharp voice from the entrance. Natasha turned around and saw Director Fury, standing in all his trench coat glory
