Child of Hera (A Reader x Nico Di Angelo Fanfic) ~ON HOLD~

Eros Is a Dick Part 3 (Nico's Past)

     (F/n)'s POV

No wonder why Nico was scared of and hated this god. He was torturing me with guilt. Eros snapped his fingers and a gray cloud suddenly appeared in front of me. He then stated to me, "Since Nico has trauma in his past, I'm just gonna speed through."

     A scene began to play, three people were in it. Two of the people were women, an older lady and a young girl, dressed in black 1940s styled dresses. The other one was a little boy who was also dressed in black 1940s styled clothes. They all had black hair, dark eyes, and tan skin.

     "Nico?" I asked myself as I looked at the boy. The three of them began talking to one other and suddenly an explosion happened. The older woman, who I had presume to be Nico's mom, was laying in the arms of a familiar man. It was Hades and the children were standing in the debris.

     "Oh my god..." I gasped quietly to myself. The scene changed and the kids were in a casino. They were looking at a familiar sea green-eyed boy, Percy. It then changed to where Nico and the girl were standing outside of a military school in the winter. Percy, a boy with goat legs, and a punk girl were with them. They were face to face with a group of bow-wielding girls.

"What the...?" I asked myself softly. The scene then changed to the girl who was with Nico, Percy, and a girl with a silver jacket inside a tent. The girl who was with Nico said to the silver jacket-wearing girl, "I, Bianca Di Angelo, pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the hunt."

Realization hit me like a bullet train. That girl was Nico's sister. The scene then changed to Percy, the boy with goat legs, the punk girl, Bianca, and the girl with the silver jacket. They were in a junkyard fighting a huge robot. Bianca jumped inside it and soon it exploded. The scene changed to young Nico summoning skeletons at Percy, a familiar blonde, and the goat boy. Then Nico was underground with a ghost, coaxing him with sweet lies. The scene was then Nico wandering a fiery hell zone.

     "He single-handily made his way through Tartarus," answered Eros with a dreamy sigh. The scene then changed to Nico in the Underworld, resurrecting the ghost of a familiar girl.

      "Hazel," I whispered to myself. It changed to Nico being trapped in a glass with some pomegranate seeds. He was being guarded by giant beasts. The scene changed to Percy and Annabeth hanging from an abyss with Nico trying to pull them up. The couple then fell into the abyss with Hazel holding back a screaming Nico. It changed to Nico leading a familiar group of people through a dark house. The group was of Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, and Leo.

      There's more to Nico than meets the eye I thought to myself. It then changed to Nico traveling with a goat man and a warrior girl. They had a statue of Athena with them. The scene then changed to Nico kissing a blonde boy.

"Will Solace...head of the Apollo cabin..." I murmured to myself, trying to jog my memory of meeting the head counselors. The scene changed to Nico walking in on Will kissing a pretty redhead in a pink filly shirt and jeans. Eros snapped his fingers and the cloud disappeared.

      "Do you have a decision on who you choose?" Eros asked me. With a bit of hesitation, I nodded. Eros then said, "Announce it to seal if. They won't know you choice until you tell them yourself."

      I took a deep breath and looked up at Eros. He beckoned me on to say. With sudden confidence, I said my answer.

      "I choose Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades."
