H-How...?

POV Nico

Five more minutes, that was all the time I had left on this shift working the gate. I had know idea how my father, The Lord of The Underworld, could be short staffed but he was and I was now forced to do double the paperwork.

I looked up from the last document to meet the eyes of two people who had come together even though that wasn't normally allowed. Under normal circumstances I would have explained to them the rules and possibly given them a lecturer. But this was in no way a normal circumstance.

"H-How...?" I studered, not sure of how I was even capable of making a noise.

"We uh, don't know," Percy and Annabeth said in Unison.

"I'm leaving early!" I shroud hoping one of the demons that worked for my father would hear me and pick up my job. "Family emergency."

I saw the faintest hint of a smile on Percy's face as I picked up his and Annabeth's papers.

"Come on," I said, gesturing to one of the smaller rooms that most people tended to miss.

We took our seats, mine on one side of a desk there's on the other.

"So, just to clarify, you are dead right?" I asked. I didn't know whether to cry or not, they were dead but they also had very special circumstances that would make their death very unusual.

"Yes," Annabeth told me. "And we really don't know how it happened."

"No, no. That's fine, it's just the two of you... how do I say this, have much more free range than the average occupier of Elesum, well assuming you don't choose rebirth." I could see it on Percy's face that he wanted to interject but I cut him off. "Just let me explain the whole thing then you can ask your questions. Ok, so you know how once Will and Frank die they will basically have access to the entire underworld and Will will be able to go with me on the majority of my missions and stuff." They nodded. "So, they gods decided, well really my father and your parents had a chat and said that because the two of you have survived so much and know about a lot of the mythologies you have free range of almost all of the underworlds."

"Wow," Percy said.

"Does that mean I can visit magnus?" Annabeth asked.

"Yes," I simply stated. She smiled.

"Ok, it sounds like the two of you are ready to go-" something practically ran into me.

"Nico, I'm really sorry but I need to tell you the news, Percy and Annabeth are dead, don't you need to find them and explain the thing and-"
"Will, we're right here," Annabeth said from somewhere behind me. " and Nico just explained the thing."

"Oh," was my husband's only response.

"Two things, I think we should get going and who do you want to plan your funeral? Also who is going to tell your kids?"

"We'll let you decide."

sorry If there's repetition also happy possibly fiscal birthday to Percy!!! And happy birthday Will!

to any one who Is confused the day I'm punishing this is Aug 23.
