I'm Nico di Angelo. And I'm fine...

Yeah, right.

I'm definitely not fine.

My third supposedly normal day (as normal as it is) at the Wayne's turned into a really surprising one.

First. My cousin from my Uncle Zeus who's name is Diana Prince or mostly known as the Wonder Woman. A famous superhero in the mortal's world in an also famous group called Justice League.

They protect the earth, people and stuff from evil villains or bad guys from both Earth itself and the other enemies out their in this vast Galaxy.

Yeah...

Those kind of superheroes shits.

Diana, my dear cousin, came to the Wayne's because apparently my Godly family are worried about me and my well-being. Especially after my outburst on Camp Half-blood.

They told her to send me a message that it wasn't really my fault that Apollo's son (Will) is stupid enough to cheat on me and that they will gladly give me blessings for my kind-of a new start with the Wayne Family.

So basically, they made Diana a messenger just for that.

Poor, Diana...

Diana's sudden visit really helped me out though. To know, my Godly family actually cared for me after my big attemps on making them more lovable and approachable for their children and on how to tell the Wayne's about my lineage. And I'm really glad that they still accepted me even when I told them I'm the scary God of the Underworld's only living son.

They didn't judge me. So far from the reactions I have whenever I told someone for the first time.

So different yet I like it.

They even shared my anger, sadness and happiness when I told them about my life.

The atmosphere in the Manor, that the Gods did things to, helping me to be more comfortable on telling them the pleasant and unpleasant experiences I've been through.

The childhood that I can't really remember much.

The memories with my sisters. Both with Bianca and Hazel.

The feelings of betrayal towards Percy and the Camp after Bianca's death.

The emptiness I felt.

The loneliness I endured.

The escapes.

The adventures on every country.

The Wars.

The new friends.

The new allies.

And my achievements and titles that I proudly informed them. I got them through hardwork so why not be proud of it?

I even told them about my one-sided crush on Percy years ago.

Even the real reason why I accidentally came to Gotham.

They listened to my life story even though some of them are vague told, they just waited there listening intently. No cutting offs or questions.

They even told me that they were proud of me after I finished. And suddenly Bruce asked me if I want to officially a part of their family, the Wayne's not Diana. She's already family by blood.

And they don't really have a choice. The Gods themselves said that they'll bless me with my new start with them.

But still, it brought me joy to know that they accept my whole being.

After that, we did what's were supposed to do in the dining room. Eat foods. Our breakfast. Chat about some news going around Gotham and just act like those families I read on books before we shortly departed for our day.

Bruce and Diana went to talk. Alfred went to do his work, although I don't know what he's gonna do in an already clean mansion. Me and Dick, my new adopted brother, went to the batcave, without permission of course. Just to play video games in the Batcave. A perfectly good reason.

Then, the Second or next surprising thing that happened in my supposedly normal day, is:... my other cousins found me. To be more precise. Percy 'freaking' Jackson and Jason 'fucking' Grace found me.

And suddenly, another bomb revealed itself. Percy Jackson, my cousin, my first crush is actually Bruce Wayne's nephew! The only other one who got Wayne Blood in his veins along with Sally. This made him, my relative in both sides of the family! The heck?!

Apparently, some more revelations are happening in this very Manor, again. Seriously, this Manor is like some kind of place where you can let out all of your secrets without any disturbances!

So yeah... I'm definitely not fine.

WHO WOULD BE?!

Fates! You playing with me?

Wayne Manor, Gotham City.

" How's your Mom? " Bruce asked, looking at the antsy teenager seated in front of him. Smiling a little to reassure the son of Poseidon.

It had been so long since he met his sister.  He didn't have the heart to visit her, especially after the sudden lost of contact after her adoption to the Jackson's.

But he did checked on her. He checked on her whereabouts every now and then. He checked on her adoptive family if they treated her right. He checked on her every boyfriends and husbands if they were even good enough. So far, none of them close to his standards for his sister, especially that stinking Gabe drunkyard. Good thing he's missing and presumed dead.

He even checked on her son. Percy. He knows his appearing an disappearing situations. Heck! He checked on his whereabouts just like how he checked on her sister.

Not that often though.

He checked everything he could check. Just to know that her sisters alive and well.

" M-my Mom's fine. "

Of course, she is. She's in her house right now, her husband just leaving from work two minutes ago.

" That's good to hear. " he said, nodding his head and again, still smiling at his nephew a little.

" Umm... Mr. Wayne. I– "

" I'm your Uncle, Percy. You may call me by that or anything to your liking. Just don't be too formal to me. " Bruce cutted.

He finally get to see his nephew in flesh for so many years and yet he's already called 'Mr.' and not Uncle. Why the heck would he want him to call him something so formal?

" Ah! Yes, Uncle. " Percy exclaimed, awkwardly scratching the back of his head out of habit.

Now, I like the sound of that... I really am an Uncle now...

Bruce thought. His smile widening by half and inch. Percy who saw the growing smile, returning it hesitantly.

" You guys are awkward. " Nico commented, his brows scrunched together. " Is this how a normal Uncle and Nephew reunion supposed to happen? " he asked, looking at his brother questioningly, who have the same disapproving face Alfred is wearing.

" Hmmmm... If it's Bruce then it's eventually bound to happen. " Dick replied. Looking at his Adoptive Father funnily.

" Agreed. " Alfred nodded, looking at his contractor from the sidelines.

" When you add Percy to that. An awkward social kind of guy? Then it was definitely bound to be awkward, Nico. " Jason added. Leaning on the couch. Nico also leaning back by his side, his head on the blonde version of Superman's shoulder closing his eyes. Jason still looking at the civilian form of Batman and son of Poseidon.

" Hehehe... You do know we could hear you right? " Percy laughed awkwardly. Looking at his Italian cousin, his sea-green eyes clearly pleading for some kind of help.

" Indeed we could, Master Percy. That's why we're talking right here so that you can hear what an outsider's thoughts would be if they see you, right now. " the butler deadpanned.

" ... Certainly not how a Uncle and nephew would act like after reuniting for years. " Jason added. The two adoptive brothers on his sides nodding in complete agreement.

" He's right, Perce. Just because you, my Father and Uncle Z acts awkward with each other doesn't mean you and Bruce should to. " Nico reasoned.

" B-but that's diffe–! "

Without even having the chance to argue. A crashing sound and bark was heard from the Garden.

" That must be the others! "

" Wait! There are others? How many are you barging in here? " Dick catechized.

" Ah! There's me, Jason, Thalia, Clarisse and Leo! " Percy replied. " That would be five! "

" It seems like I have more mouth to feed this noon.  " Alfred sighed.

" Hehehe... Sorry Albert... " The big three children apologized.

" Don't worry. I'll be off to prepare your lunch in advance. Master Nico. Please take your guest and not worry them any further. " the butler said, walking out of the room, leaving 1 man and 4 teenagers alone together.

" I should go and get them before they could break something. " Nico announced, running off to the Wayne Manor's lavish garden.

" So... Are you gonna stay here? " Dick asked, breaking the on-going silence in the room. 

" Huh? "

" Nico said he's staying so are you guys too? "

" We wouldn't want to cause too much inconvenience. " Jason said, obviously going to decline it.

" It won't trouble us. " Dick argued. Adamant on letting the demigods stay. Really looking forward to sparing with the demigods to test his Capabilities.

They looked at Bruce for confirmation and was met with a nod.

" We want to know more about Nico, he's now my son, and I ought to do that so that I can prepare especially when there's only much I know about your World. Percy is also my nephew and you and the others are Nico's friend and family so it is definitely no trouble. " Bruce admitted.

Percy and Jason looked at them in disbelief as the words sank into their brains. Percy at Bruce and Jason at Dick. Their jaws dropping.

" He told you?! "

" Huh? What's going on here? " Nico asked. Arriving at the occupied room with the three other demigods trailing behind him.

" Oh. They said they're staying. " Dick replied.
