When Worlds Collide

71) Mr. Nico Vladek

A/N: if their poses look familiar, its because I used by original bases for the superhero costumes... I'm lazy

Nico stormed down the halls, immediately regretting every life choice he had ever made. He felt like Bruce, trying to wrangle a million teenagers without causing a media scandal.

"The doors open in 15 minutes!" He called into the hallway that was full of all of his friends.

Do you know how many people have to be staying at the manor at once for people to be forced to share the spare rooms? Too many. Way too fucking many.

"I can't find my shoes!" A voice called from down the hall as one of the doors opened and Leo stepped into the hallway, scanning the temporary name plates on the door before running into Jason and Percy's room.

"What the fuck did you do to my hair?" Cissie yelled from her shared room with Traci as she stepped into the hallway, hair looking like it had been electrocuted, sticking up violently. "Can someone fix this?"

Nearly every door cracked open as people stuck their heads out.

"Yeesh," Artemis said. "What happened there?"

Tacie peaked her head out of the door. "Magic gone wrong. Sorry Cissie."

Annabeth stepped out of her room, thankful she at least looked ready, before pulling the girl into Piper and her's room. "We'll fix it... hopefully."

Leo stepped out of Percy and Jason's room before crossing back into his and Franks. "I found one of them. Do you think I need to find the other or is one good enough?"

Will stepped out of his and his sister's room. "Leo, you cannot go with just one shoe."

Leo stepped back into the hallway. "Nico is."

Nico face palmed. "Well Nico only has one leg and someone forgot to make my fake leg not get uneven when I wear a shoe on it, so Nico has an excuse."

Leo scoffed. "Pop is off real fast and I can fix it for you. Shouldn't take more than twenty-"

He was cut off by Reyna throwing his missing shoe at him as she stepped out of Nico's room that she was sharing with him (the Wayne's said no couples could share a room, but they all knew they were just gonna twitch back after the party). "It was in my bag for some reason."

Leo cheered at the fact that he had two shoes once again before he slipped it on. "Boom! Ready!"

"You are missing a tie and a jacket."

Leo scoffed. "No I'm not, I'm just not wearing one. Also, I set it on fire so you can't force me to wear it."

Frank came out of their room, holding a charred suit jacket. "And mine got caught in the crossfire..."

Jason stepped out and swatted the back of Leo's head. "It's fine, I won't wear a jacket either, so it'll look purposeful."

Nico groaned. "YJ team, please tell me you are more put together than these idiots?"

Jaime stepped out of his and Bart's room (Nico picked room assignments) in his full blue beetle armor. "Bart spooked the scarab and now it won't go away."

Nico was going to have a permanent red mark from face palming. "Why did I invite any of you? I should have just faked an illness, or fallen out of a tree and broken my leg to get out of being here."

"Which leg?" Leo asked.

Nico looked at him. "Which leg do you fucking think?"

Leo shrugged.
