Jasico and Pertavian- Cupids Game

Chapter 5

 Nico stood at the mouth of a dark cavern, the air was heavy and humid pressing down on him. The cavern was an unnatural pitch black, Nico couldn't even see his hand when he waved it in front of his face. He turned around to face outside of the cave and gasped. Tarturus. Nico started breathing heavily, he was safe  on the Argo 2. "I have to be dreaming" he thought panicking. He pinched his arm, he took a swing at the stone wall as hard as he could. He fell to the ground in pain. "Why aren't I waking up?!" he thought truly terrified. He stood up, the sky was blood red, the grass plain a dead black. Nico spotted something and went white as a ghost. The cursed ones. They were approaching the cave. He was cornered. NIco felt tears start to form in his eyes, now wasn't the time to start panicking but he was terrified. The cursed ones were a few steps away. "Our little Nico returned, we missed you" they smiled evilly. he could feel their breath they were so close. He knew what would happen if he fought but he didn't have a choice. He swung his sword hitting taking out almost the entire group in one swing, Nico collapsed to the ground. He felt a million volts of electricity go though him, he was being squished like a tin can and blood poured down multiple parts of his body. "oh Nico we saved the curses of your loved ones for you, they would never curse you however you still brought death to them" Nico's eyes went wide, who's deaths were these? Realization crashed over him and he started to cry, he didn't mean for them to die. "That's right Nico, your mother and Bianca. Your existence brought this to them. Crushed by an automaton and struck down by Zeus's master bolt. Did they deserve such a fate? Of course they didn't, but you condemned them to this." Nico continued to cry because he believed it to be true. His mother was in that hotel with Nico and Bianca, and if he had gone on the quest all those years ago he could have protected Bianca. He felt more electricity course through him. He felt it go straight through his heart. He screamed.

Nico sat straight up screaming, sobbing and muttering in Italian only to be enveloped in a pair of arms. Still in a daze Nico continued to cry into the persons chest, he could still feel himself being crushed, he was still absolutely terrified. His sobs eventually quieted, the arms around him had only gotten tighter. He let out a small breath of relief that he had awakened from that awful nightmare. He slumped against the persons chest. "Its gonna be okay you know. I'm with you till the end of the line." Nico's eyes widened. He looked up and stared right into the face of Jason Grace.

What'd  you guys think!?!?!?!?LOL did you guys get that Winter Soldier reference I threw in there!! I know that Nico isn't responsible for Bianca or his Mom's death however he does blame himself in this story. I'm pretty sure theres gonna be real Jasico fluff next chapter :) wink wink stay tuned!
