Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles

Not the 30s Anymore

"I don't feel comfortable with you going there on your own."

Nico had a concerned frown etched into his features. Hazel turned toward her brother with a fond little smile before turning back to her vanity. She finished her make-up, with her brother glaring at her from behind.

"I know, Nico", assured Hazel gently as she got up.

Nico worried. Nico always worried. Not only because Nico already had lost a sister, but also because of the time they were from. Nico had been born in 1924 and he had only been in modern days for four years now. He had grown up with the values of the late 20s and early 30s. For a young woman to go out on her own like that, it didn't sit right with Nico.

It didn't sit right with Hazel either. After all, she had grown up with the values of the 30s too. Very often did she still struggle with how different society was, what kind of things she was allowed to do - as a woman, as a woman of color. Yet what hurt even more was when she saw the things that hadn't changed.

"Big brother, I will be fine", stated Hazel with a smile, leaning in to hug him. "It's just a party. I'll meet Annabeth, Piper and Reyna there. I'll be fine."

Nico grumbled beneath his breath and shook his head. "I know. I'm sorry. I know you are strong and that things here… are different. But not all different is good. All those news about women getting drugged and raped at parties? Sometimes, the future is a nightmare, Haze."

"And that is why we are focusing on the good of the future", declared Hazel amused and kissed Nico's cheek. "You, go on your very public date with your boyfriend and I will go out and I will go on that party. Now go and get ready because Percy will be upset that you made him wait."

Nico blushed but obeyed, making Hazel smile. It was hard to adjust to how different the future was and even though not all of it was good, it was also not all bad.
