When Worlds Collide

25) Classic Wayne Family Heart to Heart

A/N: I need to stop spoiling you guys. Dis one is also long. 

Nico stepped out of Damian's shadow, who Clarisse currently had in a headlock, and kicked the girl's chest before turning and snatching the flag.

"DiAngelo is on the field!" Clarisse yelled as she pushed herself up from the group, but Damian immediately began fighting her again. "Someone get him!"

Nico tucked the flag under his arm as he dodged Travis, tripping the son of Hermes as he ran towards the creek.

"Not so fast!" Percy yelled as he threw a wall of water in Nico's way, but the son of Hades just clenched his fist and pulled upwards as a stalagmite rose from the earth, launching him over the water.

Nico rolled as he landed, using the momentum to get back on his feet and continue his running. Will fell in step with him, having temporarily blinded Bart and knocked the speedster out.

"When did you learn to do that?" Will asked as they ran, the blonde firing arrows at the hoard of campers that chased after them.

Nico smirked, using a shadow to grab Mallory and pull her out of their path as she attempted to stop them. "Hazel taught it to me while I was at Camp Jupiter. That was my first time actually pulling it off."

Juliet jumped out of the tree she had been throwing knives from and ran along side the couple. "Bruce wasn't with the flag, so I think he's at the boarder. We should change directions so we don't have to face off with him."

Nico shook his head and put the flag in Juliet's hands. "We don't have time for that, not with the mob chasing after us. You two just focus on getting the flag over the boarder, Cass and I will deal with Bruce."

"What? Cass isn't-"

Juliet was cut off by Cass jumping from a tree and joining them.

"Do you want to deal with the mob, or with Bruce?" Nico asked, looking to his sister.

Cass smirked. "The mob," she signed.

Nico cursed under his breath and quickly shoved his sword into the shadows of a tree that they passed before grabbing his knives.

"Those aren't celestial bronze," Will said, eyeing the daggers.

Nico smirk. "Chiron said he wouldn't give us mortal weapons, he never said we couldn't use the ones we already have."

"I see Bruce. He's about 20 meters from the boarder," Cass signed, readying herself to stop to take on the hoard.

Nico clenched his fists. "At five meters to Bruce, I'm sending you two flying. Just focus on getting across the boarder."

Juliet and Will gave a nod.

As soon as they were in range, Nico pulled his fist upwards and two more stalagmites shot up from the earth and launched the duo as Cass stopped running towards Bruce and ran towards the other demigods.

Bruce apparently saw Nico's real knives in hand and had drawn his own knives as the two came in contact. Immediately they were a flurry of movements, their attacks nearly blurry to any onlookers as they seemed to dance around each other.

The fight lasted a solid five minutes, neither ever actually landing a hit, before the conch blew and the duo ceased their movements, both father and son out of breath.

"How did— Harvey IMed me from his lookout and said you had the flag," Bruce said as he leaned against a tree.

Nico smirked. "I gave it to Juliet. I knew you wouldn't expect me to give it to a 12 year old, so I handed it over and launched her and Will towards the boarder."
