Nico sighed and closed his eyes as he sensed four different people coming towards him, he closed his eyes with his head still lying back on the grave. " I'm sorry for your loss. Who are you visiting?" Natasha asked, Nico begrudgingly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

" everyone." Nico said coldly, Natasha and Clint looked around as if just noticing that there were thousands of graves here.

" this is more than enough for Roman's, what happened?" Natasha asked.

Nico chuckled without humor. " you're standing next to a Norse god and you think those are the only pantheons? The graves are for the Greeks and Roman's who died in the wars and on quests." Nico said as he looked up at the stars again, Natasha and Clint stared at him in surprise.

" we left 5 years ago what do you mean wars? How many?" Clint asked.

Nico paused for a second, " three. The first one the Roman's fought at Kronos' throne I think, the Greeks fought Kronos, the second was against Gaea. And the third they fought each other. The gods said all demigods died, I assumed they meant legacies too. Who are you two?" Nico asked.

Clint and Natasha were hesitant because Steve was there but still told him, " legacy of mars." Natasha said.

Clint followed by saying, " legacy of Apollo." Steve looked surprised but Natasha turned to him and put a finger to her lips. Signaling him to be quiet.

Nico had a mix of emotions when Clint said legacy of Apollo, " I don't know whether I should trust or hate you, did you know Octavian?" Nico asked while looking at Clint, Clint was confused but thought about it.

" I met him briefly when he was young, weird kid. Was obsessed with cutting open stuffed animals, why?" Clint asked.

Nico made a disgusted face, " he was annoying, and as someone I know called him, an ' anemic loser.'" Nico said with a sad smile, he forced himself to not cry, no matter how badly he wanted to.

" what did he do?" Natasha asked.

Nico sighed while thinking about it, " well he tried to wage war against the Greeks while Gaea was rising."

" can we go back to the fact that Gaea was RISING?!" Clint yelled.

Nico shrugged, " that was two years ago." Nico now had a smirk on his face, " everyone still made fun of Percy for that and I'm pretty sure they're still doing it in elysium."

Natasha raised an eyebrow, " who's that and what does he have to do with Gaea rising?" Natasha asked, Nico grumbled something incoherent and sat up straighter.

" Percy or Perseus is- was. A son of posiedon who led the war with Kronos who tried to rise about- four years ago? Yeah, anyways. Then Percy went missing for 6-9 months and ended up with the Roman's, the prophesied seven happened and they had to help stop Gaea from rising. She needed blood from a girl demigod and a male, she got a girls and Percy... well he got a nosebleed and almost killed the entire world. Then Leo, who was part of the prophesied seven sacrificed himself and saved the world. Came back after using the physicians cure. And boom. Two years later the war against Romans and Greeks broke out and everybody died. Well except for me. The end." Nico summed up.

everyone stared at him with their mouths open, " what are you staring at? Close your mouths." He said with annoyance, the three closed their mouths.

that's when Thor decided to speak up, " is your name Nico di Angelo?" Thor asked with excitement, Nico nodded, " oh my gods it's so nice to meet you! You're famous for your feats, resilience and bravery back in Asgard!" Thor squealed, Nico looked a bit stunned.

" which feats? I've got a few." Nico said like the few he had was nothing.

" well for challenging Kronos and bringing three gods and an army of skeletons into the battle of manhattan at twelve, bringing someone back from the dead, going to Tartarus alone, surviving for a week in a death trance, helping the seven, shadow traveling the Athena Parthenon half way across the world, helping to stop Gaea, helping stop Nero, going to Tartarus again! And probably more!" Thor said excitedly, Nico was surprised and terrified, he didn't know anyone knew about practically all his feats. Although the other three didn't seem to have heard for whatever reason, but he let out a small genuine smile. He had never really gotten recognized for his feats, he was always feared because of his father.

" thank you, I've never really gotten looked up to for my feats. Usually people are terrified of me." Nico said sadly, his eyes breaking a little more.

" may I ask why people are afraid of you?" Steve said, finally speaking up.

Nico raised an eyebrow at Natasha and Clint. " I'm sure you guys have figured it out, didn't your friend tell you what happened?" Nico asked.

Natasha's eyes widened in surprise, " you're a son of hades... but hades would never break the oath..." Natasha said.

Nico clapped dramatically, " ding ding ding, correct! I'm a son of hades, and no. My father didn't break the oath, I'm simply... misplaced.. the lotus casino is one confusing place." Nico said, Clint seemed confused at that but of course Natasha got it.

" you were put in the lotus casino, you were born before the oath. What time are you actually from?" Natasha asked, Nico sighed, he seemed to be counting.

" uhh, I'm about 86? Yeah, 86. But I'm biologically 16."

Natasha seemed amused while Steve seemed to brighten up, " you're from the 1930s." Steve said, Nico nodded.

" can you people leave now? I just want to be left alone." Nico said as he leaned back onto wills grave.

Natasha nodded, " just one question,"

" what is it?"

" who's grave are you leaning on?" Natasha asked, she knew it was insensitive but she was curious.

Nicos face darkened, " if I tell you will you leave me alone?" Nico asked, she nodded in agreement, " will solace. Son of Apollo, greatest healer of camp half blood in ages... now leave me alone." Nico said as he shooed them away, they walked away as silent tears fell down Nico's face. Nico fell asleep again. but this time had a night mare...
