Nico had two goals when he moved to Gotham #1- help new demigods get to Camp #2- don't meet the Waynes He didn't have anything against the family, how could he when he was only told about them the day before he moved, but he had heard about the serial adoption of black haired kids. He already had a strained relationship with his father, he didn't need a second one. -------- As Nico sat in the park with the random boys he befriended, he finally felt normal. They didn't know who his father was; hell, they thought his father was dead. He was quite literally the most free he had been since Italy and even then, it was under Mussolini at the time so that was a bit of a stretch. The calm seemed universal throughout the group until Tim's phone rang. "Oh shit, it's Bruce." Immediately all of them were on alert scanning the surrounding area while Tim talked on the phone, panic in his eyes. "He was on the other side of the park for a walk between meetings and saw a picture of us walking in the park online," Tim said as soon as he hung up. "Wait wait wait" Nico said as Jason looked like he was preparing to literally throw him into the tree. "Bruce as in Bruce Wayne? You're the Wayne's?! And why are you acting like he's gonna shoot me on sight?" "He's gonna shoot adoption papers at you." Damian mumbled, once again begrudgingly reviving a high five from Tim and Dick. Jason just rolled his eyes as he made his hands a step for Nico to get in the tree. "Yes we're the Wayne's. How do you know of us, but not have a clue what we look like?" Nico climbed onto the lowest branch that was a good six feet off the ground. "I was technically homeless until a few months ago and just got a phone last month, sue me for never seeing a picture," he said in a whisper yell before continuing to scale the tree. -------- Daily updates at 12:15am EST

Nico di Angelo is being overwhelmed. His children/Cocoapuffs/Cacodemons have been overcrowding him and making him re-live his worst moments over and over, the other campers, even the Seven have been avoiding him as his mood worsens, and everyone has forgotten how many times he helped save the world, for example, getting the Athena Parentheos across the world, bring Hades to help against the Titans, and countless times more. Even Will has been spending less time with him as more demigods arrive, and ever since the infamous 'Shadow Travel Incident' even Chiron seems uncomfortable around him. And all of that draws the Cocoapuffs closer. He needs a break. So, Nico decides to go to the Underworld to ask Hades about what he should do. Hades tells him to head to Mount Olympus to receive some 'blessings from the gods' as Hades worded it. So Nico goes over there ya da, ya da, ya da, gets blessed, etc... BUT.... There is a TWIST. I mean, how would it be a good blessing WITHOUT a twist?! His physical body is now seven -years-old AND THAT HELPS A LOT, ZEUS. So yea. Then they send him off to Gotham City and Zeus is like 'JUST TRY TO SURVIVE, OK!?" And yea. 🥸 ALSO NONE OF THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME, THEY BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN AND DC, AND THE COVER ART ISNT MINE! 🥸 Enjoy and let my slow lazy brain get some ideas. :) Love you all, my minions! -Anitoly

Nico di Angelo gets adopted by Bruce Wayne after Batman witnesses him stalking around a cemetery in Gotham in the middle of the night. He doesn't want to move in with Bruce, but seeing as he can't supply any proof of his parents or even his own birth records, he doesn't have a good reason to say no. It's Bruce Wayne or the foster system so Nico decides to take his chances with the billionaire. What he didn't anticipate is that he isn't Bruce's only child, or that the man is more than meets the eye. Nico gets dragged into the Batfam and has to learn their secret while trying to hide the mythological world from the greatest family of detectives in the world. No Nico ships. It would get in the way of the plot. I will try to keep at least somewhat accurate with the rest of the books. Everything belongs to Rick Riordan or DCU. (After pjo and before hoo) Please comment, vote, and tell me what you think! This book is currently being edited but I will still be updating. Updates are (really) slow.
