Brothers from the Past

OLD CHAPTER 1

Sup. This takes place before trials of apollo. But Leo is back. Idk the timeline. Please just roll with it. Please.

Nico POV

"I'm surprised I could do it. I was kinda shy around him. What if this goes wrong?" I turn to Hazel with worry in my eyes.

She embraces me for a moment then replies, "It will go great. You got this. It's just a date. You've been through so much more in you're life. You are going to do great and Will is going to love every second of it. And when you get home, you are going to tell me everything that happened. Ok?"

She pulls away and smiles at me. I offer back a weak smile. "Ok." She hugs me again, this girl likes hugs, and there's a knock on the cabin door.

"Oh gods, he's here. Hazel, what if I do something stupid?" Hazel smiles at me, "Nico, you're acting like a teenaged girl. Calm down and just be yourself. Ok?" I nod and go to answer the door.

Will is standing at the door in a dark green t- shirt with a faded leather jacket and dark blue skinny jeans. He looked hot. He looked very hot. "You ready? I got the Ok from Mr. D to leave camp. I don't think he really cares if we leave anymore." He holds his hand and I take it, turning red in the process.

When we turn to leave, Hazel calls, "Have fun boys! Don't do anything to stupid. Be back before curfew." I roll my eyes, "Yes ma'am," I call back.

When we get out of the camp boarders I look at Will, "Where are we going?" He gives me a look, "You're not shadow traveling us there. You are still prohibited from using your underworldy powers." I roll my eyes an smile. "I know. I have Julius Albert. He'll drive us." Will raises his eyebrows, "Who is Julius Albert?"

"My zombie chauffeur. I'm still to young to drive myself and I'm under "doctor's orders" not to shadow travel, so I use him."

Will opens his mouth to protest, but I've already summoned him. I open the door to the backseat and gesture for Will to get in. He does and we take off.

***

It's honestly not that long of a drive to New York city, but it's long enough. We sit is a semi- awkward silence and don't try to start a conversation.

We stop in front of a movie theater and Will gets out. He gestures for me to follow, and I do.

"Which one do you want to see?" Will asks as I look at the listings. "One? You get to see one film?" Will looks at me slightly confused, "Yah...?" He lets out an embarrassed noise, "Oh, I keep forgetting that you are from a different time." I give a small smile.

"What were movies like back when you were younger? If you don't mind me asking." I roll my eyes, he is too polite, "Well, there was a newreel before, normally giving updates on the war or spouting b.s. propaganda, and yes, before you ask it was in black and white. They were kind of in place to let people know what was going on in the rest of the world. Although, during the war they were leaning heavily on propaganda. After that was a cartoon or two, they were about 5 to 10 minutes long, they were there kinda to separate the news from the film. Then there was the first film. It was the new one that everyone was excited about, then there was a second film that was older or less anticipated." (A/n: It took me fooooorrreevver to find that info, and I'm still not sure it was 100% accurate.) I look down at my feet, "I had only gotten to go to the movies once or twice anyway. It wasn't always safe for me to be out in the streets."
