The Son of Death in Gotham(A Nico Di Angelo Fan Fic)

8) Movie Night

*Um, guys, I don't know what the heck happened, but this chapter had over 2 thousand words 🎉 I got bored after writing the last one and just started continuing, then it was a Friday and this just happened, so have fun reading, a lot happens.*

Bruce's Pov

Bruce was worried about Nico.

He obviously didn't know the boy well, but there was something off about him. His sons thought so too.

"He didn't know who I was." Dick told the rest of them once he had made sure Nico was out of earshot, he somehow got away really fast, without making any noise.

"Not everyone knows you Dick." Jason rolled his eyes at Dick.

"No," Dick glared at Jason, "I mean he didn't know Nightwing. How do you live in Gotham and not recognize its vigilantes?"

"I don't know," Bruce responded, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I think one of you should at least try and get close to him. Probably not Jason or Dick, since you seemed to give him the best first impression. Or Tim because of your closeness in age."

The boys nodded, Damian looked a little annoyed to be left out of the plan, but after Bruce glared at him he gave in and nodded as well.

After dinner he saw Jason head over to Nico's room. Good. He was hesitant about Dick and Tim, mainly because of Dick's age and the fact that Tim can come off as a bit... much, when you first meet him. Though all the boys can.

Bruce headed over to his office, planning on getting some work done. But just as he was about to start, Jason poked his head into the room.

"Ummm, Bruce?"

He sighed, "Yes Jason?"

"Nico's missing."

Nico's Pov

He somehow got a decent amount of sleep on the roof. He could tell because when he finally opened his eyes, the sun was on the other side of the sky.

He sat up and stretched. Maybe it was because he was more used to sleeping outdoors, being basically homeless for four years would do that to you.

He was about to head back into the house when he heard a noise. He turned around and scanned the rooftop, not seeing anything.

"Mew"

He heard it again, it sounded like... a cat?

He finally spotted it, a small black cat sitting in one of the shadows, watching him. There was something familiar about it.

Suddenly it's form flickered, it turned into a skeleton cat, then a three headed skeleton cat like a miniature feline cerberus, then just a three headed cat, then back to its original form.

"What in the Hades?"

Nico cautiously approached the creature, hand on his ring just in case he needed it. But the cat didn't attack.

Instead it walked up to Nico, a rumbling noise coming from it that at first he thought was growling, then he recognized as purring. It rubbed itself up against Nico's leg.

Nico wondered if this was a sort of apology gift from Hades, maybe he had had a good day and decided to forgive Nico? He doubted it.

Animals usually hated Nico, so at the rare opportunity that one liked him he couldn't pass up the chance. He bent down and scratched its head, expecting it to run away, but instead it just tilted it's head to give him more room.

"What's your name?" He smiled a rare smile as the cat jumped up onto his lap.

The cat just kept purring, obviously, it would have been pretty creepy if it had responded.
