Chapter 4

This story is probably the longest I have published and the one I enjoy writing the most. There is going to be a little swearing in this chapter, now I have to change the goddamn rating

Special thanks to Bob (we are yet to decide on a name) for The review, and don't worry, you can write reviews as long as you need to,

Anyway here is the story, from Nico's perspective again, because he is the only one that is awake.

Oh yea and sorry for not updating in almost two months. That happened.

POV: Nico

So, who I believe to be Hermes showed up in the middle of my interrogation (I'm actually ok with that) and Apollo and decides to take me to olympus "upon the orders of Zeus" or whatever which brings me to the point now in which I am in a car, with two apparent god's driving to New York.

Honestly have these people never heard of flashing. Jezz. I put my hand in the shadow next to me to test their knowledge of my abilities. Neither of them notice me because they are in some deep conversation in the front. So I shadow travel to the closest Mcdonald's and get a cheeseburger meal with some of my spare cash. Being the god of riches son has some perks, but Hazel gets them more than I do.

Shadow traveling back into the car with my food, I realised neither of them knew that I had been missing.

I hold my bag of fries out past the car seat and ask simply,

"You want some?"

"How in the flaming depths of tartarus did you get that?!" Apollo exclaims and turns around to look me in the eye

"Fuck you thats how," Hermes starts laughing at the look of surprise that goes across Apollos face,

I lean back in my seat proud of what I did and eat my cheeseburger all while staring right back at Apollo.

We pull up just outside the Empire State Building, and "Hermes" ushers me out and through the spinning doors. Then he turned me towards the elevator, like I don't know where it is, without the security pass, I might add, and pushes the button for the observation deck on the elevator control panel.

I think they're just going to throw me off

We reach the top eventually and walk onto the observation deck, and too be honest, I never want to be on this deck again.

'Hermes' gives me a nudge to one of the service elevators on the side of the building and holds his hand out to it. The door explodes revealing a more impressive gold door, obviously.

Someone's dramatic.

They drag me through the doors and into the now elevator, who's doors close behind us.

We stand there for what feels like hours and I fidget with my skull ring. I probably shouldn't have because it drew the quiet attention of Hermes.

"Where'd you get the ring?" He asked, looking at me, No studding me.

"My Dad gave it to me," I decided the short answer was more appropriate for the situation.

"And that would be?" This time I let all my sarcasm into one stare, looking him dead in the eye. "Ok, you don't have to tell me, but you will have to introduce yourself to the council,"

We reach the top of the stairs, but holy crap that took a long time. I look up at the large golden doors in front of me and think to my self

"This is some real f***** up sh** right here Hypnos, did Demeter put you up to this?" After no reply and a now open door I walk in after the apparent immortal beings and they surprise me as they actually turn into fifteen foot tall beings.

The tall dude in the middle, I bet you It's Zeus, Stares down at me almost as if he wants to hit me with Thor's hammer, But this is the wrong pantheon all together. I wonder If those guys exist too, you know cause the Romans do too.

"State your name," The tall dude says as all the other eleven people in the room sit down on their really boring chairs.

"Benedict Cumberbatch," I say following my thought's of the Thor movies.

I should not have done that.

"He does that a lot. From what I can gather, he can teleport and use his wits to become… annoying," Apollo says "He also said his name was Nico, and said he was some Dead king or something,"

"Nico, Who is your godly parent," Zeus continued,

"That's not how trading information works. It's my turn to ask a question."

"Who do you thinK you are?"

"I ask you question, you answer. You ask me question I answer vaguely."

I was greeted with a thick silence I could cut with my straightness.

"What happened when we got here? I only remember like, three seconds before waking up in a itchy ass blanket."

"You appeared from a vortex in the centre of the room at approximately midnight three days ago." The disfigured dude, Hephestus I am guessing, speaks from his throne.

"My turn. What did you do to get here? What is your purpose?"

"That is two questions my friend. All I know is I way trying to find my friend Percy…"

"You are friends with Perseus Jackson," That must have come from Posiedon who was sitting on the left of Zeus.

"Yes, Tall, tan, black hair, freakishly green eyes and looks like a younger and more mortal Posiedon, Yes I have known him since I was around 78 years old (I have no Idea how old he was when they met)...," I was going to say more but was interrupted by Hermes whispering to someone that walked into the room.

"The others have awakened," He states

"Okie, I'll meet you there," I say turning around.
