Nico was sobbing at the graveyard, everything was terrible. He was 16 and even though it had been 2 years since the Roman's and Greeks found out about each other a war had broken out. No one knew how it happened, some people were split and didn't know what to do. Hazel and frank didn't know how to stop the Roman's and Annabeth and Percy couldn't stop the Greeks.

They all ended up killing each other into near extinction, only the demigods who weren't found yet were alive. And Nico... the last demigod standing. The one who's been through the most. Lost the most. And most utterly broken. He couldn't handle life, and hoped it would end. Then he could be happy with will in elysium and everyone else, he blamed himself for everything, I could have done more. Saved will. Saved everyone, he told himself everyday.

It had been three days since the incident and Nico hadn't left the graveyard where the gods buried everyone. Only demigods and clear sighted mortals could make it through the gates, so he was bawling his eyes out when someone came up to him. They were about five feet away and Nico could tell they were coming over to him, " what do you want." Nico said angrily, couldn't he get any peace while grieving?

" I'm so sorry but I was wondering why you were here alone, what happened? And when did this place get here." The strange man who Nico could tell wasn't a demigod had said the last part under his breath, but Nico could hear it.

" I'm fine. Now, GO AWAY!" Nico snapped, the man stepped back with his hands raised.

Nico didn't realize he had summoned skeletons but apparently he did by accident, so when the man saw the skeletons he immediately tried to shelter Nico, " kid get out of here! Those things might be dangerous!" The man yelled, Nico rolled his eyes, his face now tear stained from all his crying.

He gestured to the man with his head and the skeletons jumped into action, there were about 5 and they over powered the guy. He managed to take out two but the other three got a grip on him and dragged him out of the graveyard, Nico sighed and summoned Jules Albert as he walked over to the street where the man was dragged to.

The car came out of the shadows and the skeletons threw the guy in before he could protest, he tried to get out but couldn't. Nico found his strength interesting as he was able to dent the door, which only demigods were capable of as far as he knew. The guys surely wasn't a demigod based on the way he acted, demigods would pay their respects to each other with a nod of understanding, ask who they lost for small talk or just go their own way. Asking what's wrong didn't make any sense, but he was still strong.

Nico got into the passenger's seat of the car," where's your house? I'm taking you home so you don't bother me." Nico said.

the man looked flabbergasted, " first, why do you have a zombie driving the car?! Second, how are you not freaking out about the zombie and skeletons. Third, you don't know who I am?" He asked incredulously.

Nico raised an eyebrow, " I'll maybe explain later, and no I don't know who you are. The only famous people I know are from either history or the actor McLean and dare, although I don't remember what he does." Nico said, he then continued, " now where do you live." He practically demanded, he wanted to leave and go back to wills grave but he decided this could be a good break.

" avengers tower." The man said at last, Nico looked confused but looked over at Jules Albert only to see that he didn't know either and needed an exact address.

" what's the address?" Nico asked, the man again looked flabbergasted, he told Nico the exact address this time and Jules Albert got them there quickly. Nico kicked him out and had Jules Albert drive away before the man could protest, he went immediately back to the graveyard. He made Jules Albert go back into the shadows and walked back over to wills grave, it was almost 10 at night by now.

He didn't really have anywhere to go, new Rome was practically abandoned and camp half blood was too hurtful to go to, so he sat down and pulled his knees to his chest as he leaned into wills grave. More tears fell as he closed his eyes, after a while he fell asleep, he woke again and noticed it was 8 at night. He had somehow slept through the day, he sat there looking at the stars, even when he felt people walking close by. What he didn't know is that the strange man from earlier had gotten his friends...

With Steve after being dropped off: (still 3rd person because I hate writing in 1st person:))

Steve had just gotten dropped by the zombie and strange kid, he tried to see where the car went but couldn't. He ran inside and found everyone sitting in the living room, " guys, I just had one of the craziest nights and I don't know if I'm going crazy or not." Steve said.

everyone looked at him weird, " well, what happened?" Clint asked curiously.

" basically I saw this new graveyard with a golden gate I've never seen before, so I walked in and noticed a kid fully bawling his eyes out next to a grave, he for whatever reason got mad at me then skeletons came up and attacked me. There were five and I could only beat two, I was trying to get the kid to safety but the skeletons didn't hurt him. He got the skeletons to drag me out of the graveyard and then a car appeared out of the shadows-"

" how many drivers?" Clint interrupted, Natasha glared and smacked him on the back of the head.

" one, and why does that matter?"

" it doesn't. Continue." Natasha said calmly.

Steve nodded, " so then the kid got into the passenger seat, demanded an address and didn't know who I was or apparently any famous people except for McLean the actor and the business man dare. Don't know why, but he didn't know avengers tower either. Then he just kicked me out of the car once we got here." Steve finished.

Clint and Natasha looked at each other, Clint made some gestures as him and Natasha seemed to have a silent fight, " I'm gonna hate this aren't I?" Natasha grumbled, Clint smirked but nodded, she sighed, " we'll go tomorrow at this time around." Natasha said everyone nodded in agreement.

" that sounds a lot like Nico-"

" shut up Thor." Natasha snapped as she glared at him, he backed down and everyone went to bed...

Hi! This is my first time posting a fanfic, I'd love to have some feedback but please don't completely butcher my work. I'm not very good at writing and absolutely suck at spacing out the paragraphs for whatever reason, it also might be confusing because I've never had anybody read my work and give feedback. I'll be posting another chapter most likely and maybe continue posting if people like it? I hope you guys have an amazing day/night! :)❤️
