Brothers from the Past

Chapter 5

Nico POV

Clint looks at Bucky, "The other boy? I've had Tony look into it, but it may take awhile. Whatever those creatures were, they weren't...normal."

Bucky makes a small noise. "Well with my best guess they were. With what Nico described, while it was vague, I'm guessing it's a creature of Erebus. I've delt with them a few times before."

Clint looked shocked, "Erebus? Like the primordial god?"

Bucky rolls his eyes and sarcastically states, "No, the comedian Erebus. Of course I mean the god. What else is there?"

Clint looked shocked, "Well I, didn't..."

"Think that the Greek Gods were also real?"

Clint rolls his eyes, "No, I knew that, I was shocked that you knew that."

The two stare at each other for a while, before I clear my throat, "Um Bucky, can you ask him what happened with me? I'm normally fluent in English, but now..." I trail off. Hopefully whatever this is is temporary. I hate having a language barrier.

He translates and Clint nods, "Well, from what I've gathered it's head trama.......and it's temporary......." I won't admit it, but I zoned out for about half it. I only processed that it was temporary.

"I was barely listening, anything important I need to know?"

Bucky nods, "It's temporary, but there might be some...lasting effects. Like...not remembering the English word for something even if you were told. Things like that." I nod. That's expected with my luck.

"Well Nico, if you're good, I can send you on your way, and we'll look for your friend.

My hands clench into fists, "What do you mean? Are you not letting help? I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN TO HELL AND BACK, I CAN HANDLE WHATEVER YOU TRY TO THROW AT ME! WILL IS PROBABLY ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS AND I SURE AS HELL NOT BE SITTING ON THE SIDE AS-" my voice breaks and Bucky pulls me into a hug. "Look, I have no clue what you just said-"

Bucky turns and glares at Clint, "Let him help us. He can help. Now leave. Give us some time alone, and come back later." Clint raises his hands in surrender and backs out of the room. "So...you're a demigod. Honestly I had hoped you were mortal, but it guess not." I nod, not trusting myself to speak. "And when you say hell, you mean the underworld, right?"

I shake my head, "I went to tatarus alone to look for the Doors of Death. I've done some very stupid things in the past few years. This is one of the many things I did that was dangerous and reckless. I'm still alive."  Bucky looks worried and I roll my eyes "I'm fine. I'm alive aren't I? It happened and it's over. There's nothing you can do about it." He still looks worried, but ignore it. He can't do anything about it.

"I'm glad you're ok. Although this means I'm going to keep a closer eye on you now."

I hit his​ shoulder, and strike metal. What the? I look up at him with a 'what the hell did you get into' look. He let out a laugh, "I guess a couple things happened to me too. We can talk about it later. I'm just glad that you're alive. So about this friend..."
