Percy Jackson, Meet The Teen Titans

Chapter 10

Nico's P.O.V.

Not being able to know what was going on was on my list of things I don't like. As we got closer to San Francisco, I felt a dark aura grow more and more. It didn't resemble the aura of any normal monster that usually emits one, so I was at a complete loss. I wanted to ask Hazel if she was receiving the same mixed signals as I was, but she was too busy engrossed in having fun, something I haven't seen Hazel do in a while. Not wanting to ruin her time, I just kept my mouth shut, which I've been doing for the majority of the trip; but almost instantly Hazel noticed my distant self.

"You good Nico? You look bothered." She was always putting others first. Heh, if only I could be like her.

"I'm okay. You guys can go back to jamming out."

Hazel was not satisfied. "I have not seen a single smile form on your lips since this trip. You, my fellow brethren will have fun as of now."

This interested me. "Brethren? Hm, I'm interested now."

-----------------------------------------------------

"I did not  have this in mind!" 

"C'mon! Do it for me!" Hazel wanted me to have a lip sync jam session with her, and she chose a song that isn't my type.

"Actually, I think Paparazzi fits you just fine." Leo said, giving me a smirk. "You can sometimes act like a tiny, creepy stalker!" Jason swatted the back of his head.

"Leo! Don't diss Nico like that! He's real cool!"

"Besides," Reyna started, "You shouldn't be talking. What about those times I caught you peeking at the nymph's pond?"

"Or when you followed a girl for almost ten minutes because you thought she had a thing for you?" Annabeth said.

"When she only asked you for a pen?" Piper finished.

"How about the time you tried to impress those girls with Festus? And when they weren't interested, you begged them not to leave?" Frank added in.

"Oh yeah! I remember that!" Percy began chuckling under his breath.

"Alright I get it! I'm a big hypocrite. Jeez, you don't have to remind me of all those failures." Leo let out a fake cry, but then he leaned towards Reyna and whispered, "But you'll be a success..."

THUNK!!

Once again, Leo went cold. It was silent, but then the sound of giggling, then laughter, filled the car. My friends all looked at me weird, and then I noticed why: the source of that laughter was me! I covered my face, which was red with embarrassment. I don't recall ever laughing in front of them!

"You...you laughed!" Hazel exclaimed. "You're... having fun!" She clapped her hands in joy.

"I guess I am." I raised my hands in defeat. "You got me."

"And all it took was Leo getting hurt." Jason laid Leo's unconscious body behind them. "How long do you think he'll be out until he's up and running again?"

"20 minutes, maybe more." Frank replied. "It didn't seem like that much of a hard hit."

"He's got a really hard head." Reyna muttered. The rest laughed at her comment. "What? It's true!"

Robin's P.O.V.

When Raven and I made it into central room, things were already chaos. The first thing we saw was Cyborg bickering with Beast Boy over the food he made: tofu eggs.
