Shadowed Heroes (PJO story)

I Get Wings

The Shadowed Heroes
   (A.N In this book he didn't have a crush on Percy, but he did have a crush on a boy before he went to the Lotus Hotel & Casino. The seven except Leo, Hazel, Frank and Reyna are self-absorbed and egotistical. Sorry I don't want to do this but it is an important part of the story. And in this story Nico was diagnosed as a genius and graduated college at age ten.)
Nicos POV
   Nico had enough, he was tired of people overlooking him. He did almost everything Percy Jackson did. He wondered the Labyrinth by himself, he went through Tartarus by himself, he did a lot things. But of course he is the son of Hades and they are shunned for being 'evil' or 'not normal'.
     But he had enough of people taking advantage of him. He was going to leave, he was going leave camp. He didn't care if monsters would chase him. Let them come, I can handle myself.
      He had passed Thalia's tree, muttering under his breath. "I wonder how long it will take for them to notice me missing, it might take Hazel a few days, maybe Reyna and few weeks, but none of the other would ever notice me missing because they are too self-righteous to notice anything other than their own heroism."
       He muttered walking into the shadow of Thalia's tree. He had packed a few pairs of clothes (all black) and combat boots as well as a few Stygian Iron daggers. His father had enchanted his ring to turn into his sword when he twisted it. He also had a black necklace that if he pulled it it would turn into a full set of Stygian Iron armor.
        "Where should I go?" He asked himself, not expecting anyone to answer.
       "Well I hear Brooklyn is good this time a-year." A cool, calm voice said behind me. In seconds I had a my Stygian Iron sword at there throat. "Good reflexes but that wouldn't do anything to me."
        "He-hello Father." Should I bow or? what do I do? I thought. It's not everyday your father the God of the Underworld appears behind you.
        "No need for formality's Niccoló." He said as  if reading my mind. "I came her to tell you I have a few houses around the world." Why is he telling me this. "I know you are running away from Camp Half-Blood. And I thought it might be useful to know this. I also think you should go as my mortal persona's son. My mortal persona is the owner of a multi-billionaire company that is very successful. But if you choose to do this, you will have to take the responsibilities of the company as well and-"
        "Hold-up." I cut him off. "You're saying that you have a mortal persona that runs a multi-billionaire company and you want me to pretend to be your son?" I asked
       "Yes, try to keep up. "He said rolling his eyes.  "If you choose to accept you will have to take over the responsibilities of the company."
       "I except." I was diagnosed as a genius at age 6 and graduated college at age 9. "Anything I should know before?"
       "Yes you will have to take a few classes to catch up to modern business in the under world by Alecto." I scowled but nodded. "I will also bless you so you won't get tired after shadow-traveling." I nodded.
       "Okay." I asked. "Will there be any side effects?" I asked knowing him there would be a side effect.
        "There are a few." He said looking at the corner of my lips. Something he did when he was lying. I raised an eyebrow he sighed. "You will be made my immortal lieutenant."
        "Okay?" I asked not really seeing a downside. "What's the downside."
        "Do you really want to become my immortal heir?" He asked shocked, I nodded.
        "Still not seeing a downside."
        "Are you sure? You will have to take responsibilities as my heir and it is a big choice." His voice almost sounded concerned. "It's a big responsibility."
        "Yes I'm sure." I didn't have anything holding me back.
        "Okay." He shadow traveled us to his palace. "This is how it will work. It's a lot like the Hunters of Artemis. You will become immortal unless you are killed in battle then you will become my immortal lieutenant and Ghost King."
        "Okay." I nodded. "Do it." He pressed his hand to my forehead and my world went black.

      I woke up in my room in the Underworld. It had a king size black bed and black wall. I felt a lot more different, I was wearing my pajamas (black sweats and oversized black t-shirt). I got up and went to the bathroom connected to my room. I looked it the large mirror and yelled in surprise.
       "What the Hell?" I heard foot steps coming towards my room.
      "Ah." My father appeared at my door. "You're awake."
        "Why do I have wings?" I yelled.
        "It is apart of the blessing." My father said simply. The events last night came flooding back.
       "You didn't say any thing about wings when we talked."
         "It must've slipped my mind." I swear I heard smugness in his voice.
       "Must've slipped your mind." I repeated.
        "Yes, I suppose that was a minor detail I forgot to tell you."
        "So what? I can fly now?"
         "Yes you can fly. You also have other ability's that you will soon find out." He said starting to walk out of the room. "Thanatos will teach you how to control your powers."
       "How long will this take?" I asked
        "A month at the longest if you also want to learn modern knowledge." I thought about it and I want to rake these "classes"
        "So a month learning how to use my powers and modern knowledge, that doesn't seem bad."
        "You will learn modern knowledge with Alecto and a few spirits. And Persephone will teach you how to cook if you would like." He asked looking at me expectedly. He wanted us to get closer since we are all going to be a weird immortal family of sorts.
       "Okay. So I'm learning how to use my new powers with Uncle Death, going to learn how to cook with the Spring Goddess and going to learn modern business with Alecto and ghosts. What happened to my life that this is normal." Hades chuckled, I had never heard him chuckle it sounded like thundering. I found it comforting.
"Well this is your life now." He said wistfully, as if remembering a fond memory. "You are a lot like your mother in that way. You can stay calm in the most crazy day situations." Why is he telling my this? "You should have seen her face when I told her that you two would turn out to be heroes." Tears are pricking my eyes. "She smiled and said 'they are already my heroes'." I single tear rolled down my cheek. He had a sad smile, like the one a person would have telling the story of a loved one. In a way he was.
"Why did you tell me this." My voice wavered.
"I just wanted you to know how much you remind me of her." He said wistfully. "She was a singer, I believe I have her records somewhere if you want them." She was a singer? I wonder what type of music she sang? "She used to say At real man wouldn't let the woman do all the work I. The kitchen'." So that's where I got that from.
"So that's where I got that from." I muttered under my breath.
