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

29) Whoo Hoo, Talking

*I actually got a decently long chapter today, I've been waiting to write the next few chapters FOREVER. I really hope you enjoy this chapter and the following. :)*

Yeah, the meeting was going great. Demi-gods were shouting(mainly the Greek ones), people were surrounding Nico and making him uncomfortable, and he had a migraine. The only comfort was that he had Will at his side, rubbing his back.

"Will make them stop." Nico groaned.

Will gave him a devious smile, then gestured for him to cover his ears. He'd barely gotten his fingers in his ears when Will put his fingers to his mouth and let out an ear piercing whistle.

Nico stared at his boyfriend in shock and cautiously removed his fingers. Everyone had stopped talking and was just staring at them.

"This is why I'm dating you," Nico muttered as he stood up, earning a grin from Will. He reluctantly turned to face the crowd.

"Let's please talk about this in an orderly fashion. Starting at the beginning let's try and interpret the prophecy please."

Reyna stood up and grabbed a notepad from one of the senators next to her who'd written down the prophecy.

"In shadows deep, where moonlight wanes. A hero's mind bears silent chains."

"Does that mean mind control?" A senator asked.

"Or something more like a coma?" A camp counselor added.

"That sounds about right," Nico responded, tired from having to deal with all these people, "So a demi-gods mind will be trapped."

"The past will rise, old wounds exposed. As suffering weaves the ties they've chose."

Nico sighed, he hadn't been wanting to talk about this part.

"I believe this part is about either me, Hazel, or our friend Violet. We all have a certain aspect of being from the past whether the casino, being revived, or being in a coma where they didn't age. And suffering matched up with children of the underworld."

People agreed with him and Reyna continued.

"The queen of shadows seeks to claim the night. A new home threatened by her dark might."

Nico shuddered at this, and he noticed Percy and Annabeth freeze as well. They were all probably hoping the same thing, that it wasn't a specific "Queen of Shadows" that they had experience with. Sadly Reyna noticed this.

"Do you have an idea about who this is Nico? A queen of shadows and the new home?"

Nico shot Will a glance, he hadn't told anyone about his encounter with Nyx in Tartarus. Will luckily took the hint and slipped his hand into Nico's squeezing it for comfort.

"When I was... down there, I had an encounter with the goddess of Night, Nyx. Queen of Shadows sounds a bit too close to her for my comfort. And for the home, considering my luck it's probably Gotham, where I've built a home for myself."

Reyna nodded and kept reading.

"Monsters assemble, a battle will roar. As heroes unite on a distant shore."

"Fighting an army of monsters in Gotham, which is weird. From my experience monsters try to avoid the place."

"From distant kin, allies will draw near. Brave souls united, with hearts sincere."

Annabeth stepped in.

"This sounds like the second great prophecy. It sounds like we might have to unite with some other group like how the Greeks and Romans united to fight this army of monsters. I have an idea about that but I'll need permission to talk about it further. I'll get back to you about that."
