Anyway, I'm not dead [just lazy])

Previously in Fused Shadows: Here I come mother fucker.


Nico's POV

Dinner to say was really awkward, it was thick with tension. I swear I saw Alfred roll his eyes, and I eyed the food that was put in front of me.

"So Nico, how long have you been in Gotham?" Asked Jason as he took a bite of his food.

Pushing my food around my plate I answered, "Only a day, just arrived back from visiting a 'family member'. I was there for a month? I don't know maybe longer."

"And why didn't you stay with this family member of yours?" asked Damian suspiciously,

Seriously what is this guy's problem with me?

"I wasn't... allowed to stay, they didn't take too kindly to have someone else in their house," I said taking a bite of a potato, in hopes that they would see I wasn't comfortable talking about this stuff.

Tim caught on to this and decided to ask about my hobbies,

"I do enjoy sparring," Jason perked up at this, "but I only participate if it is a life or death situation." I quickly added seeing him deflate a little bit,

The table merged into some light chatter they were talking about school and other stuff.

I pushed my food around a bit more thinking about how I am currently living with strangers who prance around the city at night in capes at night stopping criminals.

Feeling queasy in my stomach, I announced that I was heading to bed.

Dick seemed concerned and was about to say something before I rushed off to my room.

Closing my door I let out a loud sigh and walked over to my bed.

Socializing is fucking hard.


Tim's POV

I watched as Nico rushed off and looked at his plate,

He barely ate anything.

"Okay I think now would be a good time to go patrol," Bruce said getting up followed by Dick, Damian and I.

"I think I'm going to stay behind tonight..." said Jason as he got up from the table and gave us a lazy salute before heading up to his room.

Shrugging I followed the other three down to the Batcave, rushing to get changed and get patrol started.


~Aww yiss, a motha fukin time skip~

Running across a rooftop, I stopped beside Nightwing, who was currently watching over a calmer section of the city.

We were silent for a while until he broke to silence.

"Did you see how much he ate?"

I paused and looked down at the few cars that were left on the road at this time of night.

"I saw it, hell I think everyone saw it," I replied hearing police sirens in the distance.

"I'm sure it was just because he was surrounded by new people." Said Dick as he jumped off to the next rooftop.

I followed in suit, "What about his big freak out earlier?"

"Probably just him being in a new environment," He dismissed it, "I doubt it will happen again."

I nodded and tried to focus on patrol.


Nico's POV

I looked around and realized that I was in a familiar-looking room, groaning I realized that I was asleep again and having the same dream.

Looking around I saw that the figure on the chair was now slumped over again, checking my surroundings to make sure I was alone, I slowly crept over to the tied up figure.

Poking its shoulder I saw that what I did barely affected it, I reached out to poke it again when suddenly a chill went up my spine.

Spinning around I locked eyes with a familiar-looking pair of orbs.

I jolted awake and took in multiple deep breaths of air, groaning I stared into the light that I left on.

Sighing I sit up and pull my knees up to my chest, and crossed my arms across them.

What the fuck was that? I thought as I tried to shake the image from my head.

I heard my door open but didn't look up, my bed dipped a little from someone sitting on it.

"Are you okay Nico?" I looked up to see Jason.


Jason's POV

I was going coming back from the kitchen after getting a drink when I noticed Nico's light was still on. I opened the door and saw my smol emo bean sitting on his bed.

I walked over to him and sat on the edge of his bed, "Are you okay Nico?"

He lifted his head and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just a little shaken up... nothing to worry about though."

I nodded and studied his face, "I'm sorry for how Damian is acting towards you, I think he is just feeling a bit insecure."

I saw Nico snicker and lean his head back on the headboard of the bed, he gestured for me to sit closer to him and do the same.

I moved over to him and I could hear him take in a shaky breath, I felt concern build up in my throat.

"I'm okay, Jason. It was just a dream... A really strange and confusing dream." He said as he looked up at the ceiling.

I nodded and stared at the window across from me, it was silent until Nico broke it.

"Jason... have you ever done something that you regret?"

I paused and thought back, "Yeah there a few things I regret doing. I mean I think everyone regrets somethings."

He hums in agreement and looks at his hands, "what if you could control what happened but no one knows that?"

I stared at him and slowly put my hand on his shoulder, I felt him tense up and look at me.

"I'm sure that whatever happened, was out of your control." I consoled him with a small smile.

He smiled back and let out a small yawn, we sat in a comfortable silence, but my thoughts were running wild.

What could have happened to my bean? My cuddle bunny, who hurt you? I will hunt them down and- (A/N: Make them apologize >:( lol sorry not sorry).

I felt a weight on my shoulder and saw that Nico had put his head on my shoulder and had drifted off into a light slumber.

I moved him and myself into a more comfortable position and turned off the light and put the blanket over the both of us.

Nico shuffled closer to me and I drifted off and joined him in the land of slumber.


Nico's POV

I finally felt myself fall into a comfortable slumber, my dream still lingering in the back of my mind.

Why did I Hazel show up in my dream?

~Bonus~

???'s POV

Looking both ways a stranger to many stumbled across the street and walked over to an almost abandoned bus stop.

It might be longer than expected, but I'm still coming for you biiiiitch.

(A/N: me: *sees people want some Jason x Nico*
Me: *yeets it across the floor* enjoy ;)

Hey, now have a good fucking day. That is a threat... bitches...)
