Nico stared at Jason for a few moments, speechless. Then he looked away. "Well that makes everything better, doesn't it?" He asked sarcastically. Jason blinked as Nico looked back up at him with a harsh glare. "You know what, Grace? Not everything can be fixed with one of your sappy, heartfelt apologies," he hissed, his fists clenched in order to hide his trembling fingers.

"What do you want me to do? I can't turn back time!" Jason pointed out.

"Yeah, well I wouldn't want you to, even if you could," Nico snarled. "I prefer actually knowing what people really think of me!" He remembered what had happened at Camp Half-Blood after the Titan war.

At first, everyone had been all smiles and happiness, thanking him and congratulating him on joining in. No one tried to avoid him, and no one seemed to be scared of him.

Then less than a week later, things went back to normal. People would skirt around him like he was a ticking timebomb and would jump when he walked up behind them, no matter how much noise he made, and give him a 'Really? You're still here?' look.

It had hurt, but mainly because he had thought for a short space of time that he actually had a chance at fitting in. He had let himself believe he might have somewhere to belong. He twisted his skull ring on his finger. It was the last thing Bianca had ever given him...

He had only ever belonged with Bianca.

He felt his hands ball into fists.

"Nico, that's not what I think of you!" Jason insisted. "I-"

"Just shut up!" Nico yelled, glaring at him fiercely. "Just shut the fuck up, Grace!"

Jason froze, his eyes wide. Nico could hear the resentment in his own voice, but it wasn't just because of Jason.

He could hear it; it was the same tone he spoke to Percy in. It was the tone that meant no matter how much he hated them, he would do anything for them.

Nico took a slow, deep breath and sat down, leaning against the railing of the crow's nest. "Now unless you have something worthwhile to say, get out of here," he grumbled. "I have important stuff to do."

"I know you don't have anything to do!" Jason protested.

Nico scowled. "I do, and it's important."

"What is it then?" Jason demanded, sounding frustrated.

Nico glared at him, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Whatever you're not doing."
