NICO DI'ANGELO, 19
TOKYO, JAPAN
— Nico scratched at his neck as he checked the location. He didn't usually do recruit pickups, but his father asked him to since this kid, his nephew, was a descendent who inherited powers. Obviously, his job was to keep this under the radar and the kid safe.
Jujutsu Tech wasn't a well known or very populated school from what information he had, but it was fucking nice. It wasn't classified as a private school but there's no way that only nine students are enrolled for any reason other than that. There weren't any directional signs to a front office, so he'd have to wing it.
Before he could take his first wrong turn of the afternoon, he met a man with white hair wearing a blindfold(?) in his path.
"Whoa! Who're you?" he asked as he took in Nico's appearance. A simple grey button up, classic aviator jacket, a pair of jeans (with chains of course), a beaten up pair of steel toed boots, and a skull ring to top it all off.
"I'm Fushiguro Megumi's uncle — he goes here, right?"
Nico could tell from the shift of the blindfold that the staff member raised his eyebrows. "Uncle?"
"I'm Megumi's guardian and a teacher here. I'll take you to him," oh shit? This easy? Nico thought as he followed the teacher.
They took a couple turns through the outdoor corridor (Annabeth would lose her fucking shit, Nico thinks) and arrived at Megumi's door. Or what he assumed was his door. "What was your name? I don't think I asked,"
"Perseus," Nico said without hesitation. He wouldn't mind since he didn't plan on integrating back into mortal society anyways. It was more convenient than he expected it be.
The yet to be named teacher hummed. "And you're related to him through..."
Nico picked up the sentence, "his dad's side. Toji's my brother,"
"Oh? So your dad's still alive?"
Nico shrugged. "Can't say," open the door for gods sakes. Thankfully, he did just that, giving a flimsy excuse of a knock and barging in.
The boy inside, assumedly Megumi, sat up looking like a startled wild animal. "What." he commanded with bleary, yet wide, eyes. Nico pressed his lips together to hold back a laugh; Yeah, definitely my nephew.
"Do we have a mission or something? What?" Megumi asked insistently.
/// "I would say to tell your friends goodbye, but we don't have time for that,"
"Well one of them just died so it won't take too long," Megumi said flatly as he looked over his shoulder.
Nico held back a groan and threw his arms up into a loose gesture of surrender. "Damn, fine, whatever, make me the asshole, sure," ///
