War Finds Love

NICO - 2

Previously -

He continued to dream about how the main people at camp were planning on splitting up and looking for the Hades kid. He noticed that after what seemed so little the dream began to fade and dissolve.

—————

Nico awoke with a shake, hearing some voices and noises faintly from outside his apartment door. He quietly and swiftly made his way over to the door, placing his ears to the door in hopes of hearing anything that would give context of the situation.

"Put the weapon down!"

The voices were muffled and it sounded a little far's away. He cracked the door open slightly, he knows he shouldn't get curious, he in Gotham City after all. He shouldn't, and can't just trust anyone, but he slipped out of his apartment anyway. The voice's came from the roof and so that's where he climbed, his expression immediately hardened as he saw.. what looked like a hero, or perhaps a vigilante? He doesn't know for sure, not yet. He saw as the the villain stabbed the Hero(?) deep and which caused them to stumble. The Hero(?) managed to take off the villain but practically collapsed after.
Nico quietly stepped onto the roof, picking up the fairly big Hero(?) and dragging them back to his apartment room. He dropped them onto the couch, looking at the wound. He quickly pulled out the knife, that was stabbed into the abdomen of the Hero like teenager. He began to clean the wound while the older was unconscious. He then proceeded to stitch up the cut, which was deep but didn't hit any vital spots.

He kept the Hero like teen on the couch as he made his way to his bedroom to try to get some much needed rest. He had been up since 1:00 helping the teen on his wounds and was exhausted.
Though when he tried to rest he just ended up laying there staring at the ceiling until the sunrise.

DICK - 3

Dick slowly stirred, his body had a slight ache and his head felt drowsy. As his vision came together he noticed he was nowhere close to in the Manor. He slowly sat up, noticing how his stab wound was patched up and stitched, so he didn't wanna open the wound again.
He heard some noise coming from what seemed the kitchen, and got up, stumbling to the kitchen in the small apartment.

He saw the back of someone's head, they looked younger than him, for sure, but not much younger, if older, then Tim. The kid turned around mumbling a 'good morning' and dragging Dick back to the couch to lay down as he fixed the food.

The boy then came back with food, Dick stared at him for a bit. "What's your name..?" The boy froze and now it was his turn to speak: "Nico.."

"Nico..???"
"Nico.. Nico Di Angelo." 'Nico' finished.

Dick saw as the boy placed down the food and turning away. He realized that he had never actually seen the boy around, and he usually knows or has seen the citizens of Gotham.
"Are you from here?" He asked, his voice filled with curiosity as Nico turned to look at him once again.

"No."
"So.. where are you from?"
"No more questions."
"Ok, jeez."

Dick decided to give it up and began eating, once done with that he put his shirt back on, thankful that the boy didn't take his mask off. He opened Nico's window and jumped out, making his way to the manor. He knew as soon as he made it home he would be in trouble, big trouble with his brothers and even bigger trouble with Bruce.

He climbed through a window to the kitchen of the manor and immediately froze at seeing an angry Bruce, and three, or.. two very worried brothers, Damian of course could care less.

"Where were you!?"

Dick turned to them all after trying to attempt at an escape to his room when Bruce yelled at him. He sighed and nervously answered.
"I got caught in some stuff"
"Caught?"
"I got injured from a villain and passed out. This person found me and fixed up my wounds."
"Who?!"
"Can't say, secret."
"We don't keep secrets, Dick!"
"I said i can't say! They're a citizen anyway!"

Dick frowned after finally escaping them all, he made his way to his room and took a shower, laid down, and passed out cold.
