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

34) Fugitive

*I was not planning for this to happen in this chapter but this is what I wrote so... Enjoy :)*

Will's Pov

Will was kind of scared. He didn't like seeing Nico so angry, and Nico looked pissed.

There were literal shadows ebbing off him, and all the einherjar were frozen, like their legs were glued to the ground and their mouths were sewed shut. Some looked terrified, others were trying to lunge at Nico, others were just staring in awe.

Meanwhile, Nico was staring down Odin. The king of the Norse gods was just looking at him, looking a bit bored.

"Child," Odin said calmly, "It wasn't my decision. Your fate is to be alone. A hermit, only to be called upon when you're needed. This little relationship you've built with the sunny boy won't last. You're going to break up, then get all depressed again. It's just your fate."

Nico, somehow, looked even more furious. He glanced over at Will, then grabbed his sword and stormed up to the god. Will obviously tried to stop him, but it was no use.

He pointed the black sword at the king of gods and snarled, "You don't get to decide my destiny. Not you, not Zeus, not fucking Jupiter, not the Fates, or your Norns. I get to decide my destiny. And if I want Will, or the Waynes, or my friends to be a part of that, then they damn well will be a part of that."

Odin gave him a curious look, "If you get to write your own destiny, then why isn't your family in it? Your sister, Bianca wasn't it. And poor old Maria. Died because of her love for your father. You don't get to decide your destiny. Gods get to choose the destiny of mortals."

Yeah, Odin messed up. As soon as Will heard him mention Nico's family he knew shit was about to go down. And he knew that he couldn't do anything about it. So he sat back down and watched.

Nico stared at Odin in shock for a second. Then his face changed into fury. Will had seen the literal furies when he was down in the Underworld to meet Nico's family, but they were nowhere as scary as an angry Nico. He was truthfully terrified, and he knew Nico's anger wasn't even directed at him.

But then Nico's face suddenly calmed down, not in a forgive you way, but in a "I've shut off my emotions so I won't feel guilty for what I'm about to do" way. Not good.

He calmly stepped forward, and slashed his sword through the god, chopping off his head. Obviously the einherjar around them tried to lunge forward, protect their king. But it didn't matter in the end, Odin's head rolled away and the god disappeared in a flash of light that Will was barely able to close his eyes in time to protect himself from.

Nico turned back to Will, a grim look on his face. He looked like he was about to walk over to him, then suddenly he was sucked into the shadows.

Will stared at the spot his boyfriend had just been in. He was shocked. But before he had the chance to try and figure out what had just happened, the einherjar were released.

Within a moment Will was suddenly surrounded. Annabeth was shoved next to him, along with Magnus and Alex.

Magnus was trying to explain himself, save his own butt, Alex looked just as pissed as Annabeth. Meanwhile Will was just standing there in shock as Annabeth stood between him and the angry mob.

You're going to break up.

The god's word ran through his mind. This was a king of gods, just confirming his fears. Him and Nico could never work out, they were too different, too opposite. Was there a point? If it would just bring Nico more pain by the end?

Then he felt someone grab his arm. He was dragged out of the crowd and by the time he looked up he was halfway down the hallway.

He looked up and saw Annabeth dragging him away. Leading them was Magnus, running and shouting directions behind them, and behind them was... a tiger? They had slightly green fur and were fending off the einherjar behind them.

Suddenly Will was tossed into an elevator, he was still disoriented from his boyfriend disappearing, but he was pretty sure they hadn't gotten into Valhalla through an elevator?

The tiger jumped into the elevator behind them, seamlessly transforming into Alex, and smashed one of the buttons. The doors slammed shut quicker than they should have, and music started playing.

Will was finally about to stand up, still feeling a bit confused, he turned to Annabeth.

"What in the Hades just happened?" Where had his boyfriend gone?

But Alex answered instead of Annabeth.

"Your boyfriend just killed Odin."

Will stared at him in shock. There was no way. He knew that Odin's head had fallen like that, but the man was a god for crying out loud. There was no way a simple sword slice to the neck could kill him. Could it?

"I'm going to call Percy," Annabeth sighed, talking to her cousin, "He's probably the one most likely to do that. So he'd probably know where Nico went."

"Nico didn't go anywhere," Will defended his boyfriend, "Didn't you see how he was pulled into the shadows. It wasn't his choice, he's been kidnapped again."

Annabeth turned back to Will, a sad look on her face, "Will, I know you love him and you see it that way. But Nico just killed the king of the Norse gods. Then he shadow traveled away. He's a fugitive."
