Angel in Gotham

Time to Get Kidnapped (Adopted)

Lmao Yall Im so sorry its been since March that I last updated. Oopsie daises? I just haven't been on Wattpad that much and that combined with lazy + busy + depression means I have like no motivation, but y'all are so wonderful thanks for liking my little story *teehee* anywho enjoy the LONG awaited chapter.  -Darksun

Nico watched the sun rise on the horizon. Wonder what Apollo is up to. Briefly Nico thought back to the adventures had with his boyfriend's father, (His father-in-law? Technically wouldn't Apollo be his cousin? He should NOT go down THAT rabbit hole.) kind of wistful over the whole thing. 

When Nico woke up after being asleep for an hour or so, Batman had insisted on Nico telling him his last name, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to do any paperwork for him. Not that Nico really minded, which he told them as much. They basically forced him to, saying that there was no way Nico was getting out of it and if needed they'd just keep him there until he told them. While that normally wouldn't be an issue because he could just shadow travel away, his powers were being funky in the cave, almost as if diluted, and while he would still sense death and stuff he doubted he could escape. So he gave in and simply said, "Di Angelo. Nico Di Angelo."

After being pseudo-interrogated by the overgrown bat, he had been taken to a larger nice looking stone house with a large garden and chain fence. Not that he knew where is really was until he got there, because as a rule Nightwing and Red Hood had thrown a blindfold on him and for good measure, threw on a stuffy ass scarf thing that they wrapped around his head and face. The women that answered the door was older probably mid thirties to early fourties, with dark graying hair and storm gray eyes that almost reminded Nico of Annabeth. They didn't have the exact same color, though he doubted that anyone except the Athena Cabin ever would. 

She wrinkled her face and stepped out from behind the door talking with Red Hood and Nightwing for a few moments which Nico had promptly tuned out, more focused on how the Hades he would get out of here and back to Camp. Although on the other hand it's not exactly like he needed to get back right this instant. He still had a bit of back up cash on him, not to mention a few drachmas, a small plastic baggy of ambrosia, a small bottle of nectar, another knife one that would work against mortals that he had forgotten he had against those creeper thugs earlier from pain, and a couple random snacks that would keep his energy up if needed. Rummaging around through another pocket in his black cargo jeans, finding some bandages and some Advil, in case of headache or muscle pain that you don't want to risk dying for. 

I couldddddd~ just go along with this for now, use the drachmas to contact Will and tell him that I'll be away for longer and that I'm alright. Just until I'm healed and back up to speed properly. Besides, Will would be pissed at me if I shadow traveled the distance I need to at this rate. While the Bat guy seems a little suspicious, Nightwing and Red Hood seem trustworthy enough. Percy would say they have a "good vibe". Actually now that I think about it they both kinda remind me of Percy. Sassy, talented, dark hair, I mean I'm sure I could find more comparisons. Wait, where am I even going to go? This is the orphanage they were talking about, but I still have no idea who this magical mysterious foster parent of mine is going to be? I wonder if I'll have siblings. I don't see Hazel that much, and even then we haven't known each other for long. Not to mention Bianca's been dead a while, so in terms of the sibling department there really hasn't been any developments. What if they person has sons? What would it be like to have brothers? I've had people like brothers but I've never actually had a brother. This is all speculation, how long am I actually going to be in this picket fence mausoleum?

A loud cough directly caught his attention. Whipping his heard towards it he saw Red Hood giving him an eyebrow. Nightwing stepped in hands raised apologetically, "Sorry he does that a lot. He doesn't mean any disrespect." Nico almost said that he did actually, but Red Hood elbowed him in his uninjured shoulder to shut him up. Sensing the sass as the Sass-Master, Nightwing gave him a look that easily conveyed Keep up with appearances you won't have to deal with her bitchy ass long. Or at least that's what Nico hoped it meant, because frankly, he didn't give a fuck any other way. He was wayyyyy out of fucks to give so everyone else would just have to deal. Continuing on, Nightwing gestured towards the lady who looked like she either had a stanky, musty old sock under her nose, or a massive stick up her ass. "Nico, this is Ms. Venson. She's the owner of the Vine Bridge Orphanage. In the small amount of time you'll be staying here, you'll be in her care. She's taken care of a few other people we've saved, so this late night call really isn't anything special."
