Leo POV

Leo waited until Nico's tremors and stopped until he asked, "So where are you hurt?"

Nico shrugged, "A lot of places."

Leo's eyes narrowed again.

Nico saw the calculating look and fessed up, "I'm bruised pretty much on my torso. A gash on my side and back." Nico slowly slid the sweatshirt over his head, but letting the sleeves covering his elbows and down. His cheeks an embarrassed shade of red. Nico knew he was a gruesome sight to look at.

"Oh my gods Nico..." Leo gasped. Leo, even has a doctor, had never seen someone so bruised.

Leo stood up and reached out his hand to check a yellowed rimmed wound, when Nico flinched away. Shaking his head 'no.' "Nico..." Leo sighed, his eyes tilting at a sad angle.

"I'm fine. Just a bit beat up." Nico muttered.

Leo shook his head, "No, that cut is infected pretty bad, let me see your back."

Nico slowly twisted, giving Leo a glanced at a long cut running across the boy's shoulder blades. As if from a whip; other scars matched the wound.

"Ok, I'm going to give Jason your medicine. You're going to take some anti-bacteria (I know, it's something like antibioxidants. But I don't know how to spell it. ☹) pills, and cream to put on your cut. And do you need any pain-killers?"

Nico nodded meekly, putting the sweatshirt back on in a hurry.

Leo nodded to Nico and went into the kitchen; going to give Jason a scolding.

"Jason Grace. You need to control your anger!" Leo snapped.

Jason looked down ashamed.

"Do you have any idea how bad that boy looks right now? He's skin, bones, and wounds. A living murder corpse. You have to control you anger!" Leo ranted.

"I was one of those people that bullied him..." Jason trailed off, embarrassed and ashamed of his crimes.

Leo nodded, running his hands through his curly hair, "Look, you have to show that boy capation, and love. I have a feeling he doesn't have a lot of it. Where is his father? I should talk to him."

Jason's eyes went downcast, "Last night Nico ran off to go to his father, I came back...and well...there was blood everywhere. Nico was shaking so much, and had tried to explain his father had been murdered."

Leo's eyes widened, and looked into this medicine bag. Taking out three vials. "Ok, this one," pointing to a blue vial, "hold some pills that will fight off infection."

Leo pointed to a thicker and taller vial, "This has cream that you should apply onto his wounds."

Leo hesitantly pointed to a purple vial, "And...this is for anxiety/depression. I wasn't planning on giving it to you. But Nico...his mind's not in the right place right now. The pills can be crushed and be slipped into a drink. Nico won't notice."

Jason nodded, and asked, "Would you like to stay for dinner? My family is coming home."

Leo shook his head, declining politely, "Thank you for the offer, but I have a lot of work to do." Jason nodded, indicating he understood.

Both males stood up, shook hands, and parted ways.

Jason POV

Jason went into the living room; wanting to apologize to Nico about his early behavior. But instead, Jason found Nico curled into the corner of the couch crying.

"Nico?!" exclaimed, Jason, surprised.

"He-he's dead...he-he's actually d-d-de-dead..." Nico stuttered. Jason's gears clicked into place and nodded softly.

He walked over to Nico, sat down next to the crying boy, and gather the small Italian in his arms.

"It'll be ok, everything will turn out ok..." Jason whispered.

Only if Jason knew how wrong he was.
