Heroes - Demigod Story Collection

The Big Three Trio

The only (maybe one more on request) story I'll be writing with an AU where Jason is alive AFTER ToA.
Percy, Jason, and Nico are visiting Camp Jupiter. And Nico is the only sane one.

Jason whistled softly as he saw the familiar sight of his old camp. He hadn't been here for quite a long time and was missing the sight of Roman structures a lot. "Wow... I haven't been here for quite a long time," Jason remarked cheerfully. He was brimming with energy to greet all the new demigods he hadn't met yet.

Percy nodded along. He had been attending college here with Annabeth but over spring break he decided to visit the Greek camp. Now he was coming back. The sight of the Roman structures brought back good, and bad, memories of college days. Long story short he was just as excited as Jason. "I know right, I mean just for spring break, but I get what you mean," Percy nodded along. 

Nico, on the other hand, was in a whole different mood. He trudged along, just a few feet behind the two boys, with his hands shoved in his pockets. His neck-length black hair covered his face hiding the scowl. One glance and you might take him for a regular emo teenager. With a second glance and if you knew Nico you would decide that this was his regular mood. However, the truth was that Nico was grumpy that he wasn't with Will. Not that he'd ever admit that. Plus being three years younger than the other two was not helping. "Sure," Nico muttered.

Jason seemed to notice Nico's grumpiness and reached over the pat him on the back, even though Nico hated being touched. Nico tensed up a little but then sighed as if giving up. Percy laughed on the side and asked, "So... What are we here to do again?"

Both Nico and Jason turned to look at him exasperated. "We are visiting and taking care of some fishy business around here," they replied together. 

Percy backed up and waved his hands teasingly, "Alright, alright. I get it. Also nice pun, 'fishy.'"

Nico stared at the tall boy unimpressed. While Jason chuckled on the side just realizing the 'joke.' The banter continued as the trio arrived at camp, heading towards the Via Principalis.

"Hazel!" Nico waved, showing a rare smile for once. Well, other than with Will. The frizzy-haired girl waved back, much more excitedly than Nico, with a happy grin. Jason and Percy walked up and high-fived Frank. After a short round of greetings from the five demigods. The praetors led the big three trio into the building.

"Wow... It's been so long since I've been here," Jason commented softly admiring the building structures.

Percy laughed, punched Jason's arm teasingly, and replied, "Yeah... And I've been here more than you have for the past few years."

Jason coughed, returned the playful punch, and retorted, "Says the ex-praetor who ditched all his duties within a year."

Nico snorted on the side appreciating the banter. Meanwhile Hazel and Frank walked hand in hand oblivious to the ruckus behind them. They made their way to Principia.

Hazel sat down, neatly tucking her purple cape underneath her. Frank stood beside her, slightly leaning onto the chair, slightly. Nico took a seat facing Hazel. He looked grumpy, like usual. Percy took a seat still bantering with Jason. While Jason just stood, giving him an advantage in the playfight with Percy.

"You little surfing geek," Jason told Percy mockingly.

"Sky kid with no other talent," Percy retorted.

"Well... If your tongue isn't dyed blue then I'm going to off myself," Jason huffed.

"I- No- I mean," Percy stuttered, "Well you glasses geek."
