He ended up just staying in the staff dorms, of course , being under the care of one Aizawa Shouta, and Yamada Hizashi. Aka the blonde guy and the homeless guy.

Partly because one, considering he'll be joining Aizawa's homeroom class, and two- well they lived together. It was like having the parents he never had, except that might've been rude to Persephone and Hades. ..And maybe his dead mom.

The biggest problem became apparent, when they decided to get fast food and gave him the phone to look at the menu.

He squinted, stared at the weird character kanji as if it would all make sense. Yeah. Okay. He's starting to realize that he knows Japanese somehow, able to speak it as easily as… well not Ancient Greek, but something like English. Either his dyslexia was being a huge jerk, or he actually couldn't read it.

"I can't read." He stated bluntly.

Yamada jerked in place, as if unsure whether or not to take the phone back. " Oh- Little listener, do you want me to read that for you, or-?"

"No- well- I mean.." His eyes narrowed on the phone as if it would suddenly make a word that made sense. They were lines, and it was like they were escaping his vision, dancing around and honestly kind of started to look like dull blades and he just remembered about his sword, which he doesn't actually know where it was and–

"Er, little listener?"

Nico realized where he was, and that he hadn't fully answered, and grimaced. "Well what I meant to say was I'm dyslexic and autistic. Haha. Well to put it more bluntly, I spoke English. I didn't know Japanese. And then potato man brought me here and suddenly I know it, and therefore I have no idea if I can actually read but dyslexia is going brr, or if I just can't read the written language, haha."

To give credit where it's due, Yamada took that info in stride and just nodded in understanding. "Is there anything you want in particular? There are places where we can order food from different cuisines if that'd make you feel more comfortable."

Huh. Must be the perks of being a hero that they can think with a more level mind to surprises, though he wondered where he fit on the meter of 'most bizarre work experience'.

"..McDonalds." He blurted out, and Yamada didn't judge, just asking what he wanted to order.

This experience might not be so bad. If not for the fact that he was away from home. And his friends.

And his half-sister.

And his partner-in-life and datemate, or a joyfriend (..though it would be considered a 'boyfriend' he refused to call it that) ...Well considering everything, he's willing to milk this for all it's worth.

But aghhh, just thinking about it got him all down.

Where's Will to cheer him up when he arrives on what was kind of the other side of the world and ends up suddenly appearing in the future? Well before it wasn't technically sudden, just that time seemed slowed down when it wasn't, but now it was.

Does he get bragging rights? Does someone just have a bucket list with 'spontaneously appear in the future'?

Regardless, nothing else really happened after that.

His dreams however were unpleasant. When his eyes opened, he felt like he'd been dunked in water. Not literally, but he felt sluggish, and slightly suffocating.

When the room's outline became visible, he made note of a very memorable potato man. Oh fuck him.

"Hello, Ghost King. How are you feeling?"

"Oh fuck you."

"Now that's not very nice, is it?"

"As if I give a flying fuck what you want. It's not a very nice thing to kidnap someone far away from their home, don't you think?"

"Please, this is hardly the worst thing you've faced."

Nico grimaced as his mind wandered to pomegranates and that stupid human-sized jar .

"What is your goal, here, cheater of death?"

"World domination, of course. But how could I fully conquer the gods unless I have the power of a demigod to aid me?"

The son of Hades recoiled. " The gods- What- how? they're here?"

"Well not here . Japan is a godless land. At least since I've existed. You see, Ghost King, you're the key. A child of the underworld, a manipulator of life and death. Ah, you would've done well paired with Tomura. It's a shame I was only able to reach out recently."

"You- were you expecting me to work with you as a villain? Haha, don't know if you get the memo old man, but I don't do that."

"It's not a problem. I would've taken it for myself otherwise. I can put it to better uses."

Nico snorted. "So if I didn't play along I'd be basically killed, huh? I know you noticed it too. I'd be long dead if not for my heritage. And what do you get out of this? Boohoo, you thought the son of Hades would be a bad guy. I don't care, what's stopping me from killing myself before you can do a single thing?"

"All Might, as I'm sure you've heard, is the one meant to go against me. He's retired, hardly can do a thing anymore, and his successor is so pitifully weak he breaks his bones all the time. Tell me, who else can stop me besides someone with godly abilities?"

He cursed under his breath. "Oh fuck off."

"I'll see you again, little godling. I think we both know this puny prison can't hold me forever."

"Well considering you're willing to challenge the gods, I can only imagine." ..He wasn't a god either, but considering the big guys were terrified of this cheat, it won't mean much if he stated that they'd take offense.

Potato man merely smiled.

When Nico awoke, he was so stressed his emotions must've been influencing his powers, as his room was crowded with shadows, blocking all the windows and light.

Groaning, he waved it off, returning the shadows back to its place in time for Yamada to knock on his door, telling him that breakfast is ready. Of course he's a morning person. Why wouldn't he be?
