Nico attempts a long-distance shadow-travel to visit Hazel, but his powers falter due to lingering exhaustion and the sheer emotional toll of the wars. Instead of Camp Jupiter, he lands in a dark, unfamiliar alleyway in a city unlike any he's known: Gotham. The sheer density of human despair and darkness in Gotham is overwhelming, almost physically painful for him. He encounters petty criminals or a low-level gang, instinctively using his powers to defend himself, but he's disoriented and vulnerable.

Nico knew two things growing up in Gotham. Batman's team wasn't as good as you might think. And the Red Hood was a lot better than you might think. Well, that and to avoid the cops and Wayne family, but that was just common knowledge. So when he finds out a close friend of his is the Red Hood, he doesn't know what to think. When he finds out that the Batfamily and Wayne family alike are harassing him, he knows exactly what to think.

"The son of Hades was never meant to find peace... until Gotham." Nico di Angelo was already drowning in ghosts when he crash-landed in Gotham City. The shadows are thicker here. The buildings taller. The secrets deeper. When the Batfamily finds him, bruised and burned out, they take him in-reluctantly. Watching him. Studying him. Trying to understand the strange, quiet boy who talks to the dead and disappears into darkness. But Nico has secrets even Bruce Wayne can't dig out. Secrets about war, gods, monsters-and the haunting prophecy that follows him like a stormcloud. As the demigods and heroes collide, trust is fragile, and alliances are strained. The more Nico closes off, the more he begins to fall apart. Until someone finally sees through his shadows. But Chaos is watching. And the first move is already in play.

Nico Di Angelo found himself in the middle of mysteries once again. (Batman X PJ crossover)

Finally working with the Justice League, tension in his home rising, and his relationship with Will finally getting somewhere, things are complicated. So what does he do?

( I gave Nico a major power boost like being able to control the shadows in like form them into shapes and whatever like being able to think of a place except in the shadows like transport it to him) WARNINGS ------------ Will x Nico villain / unknown vigilant Nico blood injuries Gore terrible writing inaccuracy Cursing this is a Au and none of the characters belong to me neither does the art, also I've just started to watch the young justice League and and Justice League so I'm not the most knowledgeable about it but ill try my best.

In this fanfiction crossover of *Percy Jackson* and *DC Comics* Nico di Angelo and Will Solace embark on a thrilling new adventure as Demi-Guards (DGs), stepping into the shadows of Gotham City. With an increase in unclaimed demigods appearing across the mortal world and Camp Half-Blood's resources stretched thin, Nico and Will "volunteer" to protect Gotham, a city plagued by monsters and danger where even the Mist offers little protection. As the two navigate their decision to leave the safety of camp, Will struggles with his responsibility as the camp's best healer while Nico is determined to prevent other demigods from experiencing the struggles he and his sister endured. Their dynamic, full of love and lighthearted banter, provides a heartwarming counterbalance to the dark and gritty setting of Gotham. Upon arrival, they find themselves living in a rundown apartment in the ominously named Crime Alley. While unpacking and adjusting to their new reality, they cross paths with Gotham's famed protectors, including Nightwing. A tense rooftop confrontation between Nico and Nightwing showcases Nico's impressive combat skills-and hints at the challenges of blending their demigod responsibilities with Gotham's established vigilante system. The story combines action, humor, and emotional depth, exploring themes of loyalty, trust, and personal growth. As Nico faces lingering shadows of his past and Will strives to keep them both safe, the couple learns to navigate Gotham's dangers while forging unexpected alliances with its heroes.

**All characters belong to the writers of DC and Rick Riordan.** Nico is careless, he's always known that. But he never expected himself to wind up in the LITERAL worst place in all of America.

Because everyone seemed to wish Nico nothing more than a rather sucky life. The only problem was Nico himself. Gods, did he need to get a grip on his life. Especially as he stared up at the rust Iron sign that read 'Welcome to Gotham!'

How can Nico keep his stay at the manor temporary if things keep happening that just ensures Bruce Wayne will want to keep an eye on him?
