Before Nico di Angelo was put into the Lotus Hotel his mother, Maria, was killed. He doesn't remember a lot about before the Lotus Hotel, so how was he supposed to know that he had a godmother that was somehow still alive. Natasha Romanoff was an assassin, but she still had friends. It was more like one friend and she was killed, but they were close. Close enough that her friend made her the godmother of her 2 children. Even though she knew that Natasha was an assassin. She believed for years that Maria's children were killed when she was, but apparently not. Disclaimer for the whole book. I own nothing, but the plot. Everything but the plot belongs to the rightful owners.
