Nico shot up while in his bed in the Hades Cabin. "WILL!!!"

Will's head shot up from next to Nico as he questioned "What?"

"THE WAYNES!!!"

"It's fine. We made the simulacrum permanent, remember?"

"I PASSED OUT!!! PERMANENT OR NOT, EVERYTHING I DID BROKE APART SO I COULD GET THE POWER BACK!!!"

Will stared at Nico, owl-eyed. "F*CK"

They both jumped out of bed and raced, best as they could, to pull replace their sleeping clothes with other ones.

They then ran out of the Hades Cabin and crashed against the door to the Poseidon Cabin, remembering to knock instead of barging in.

Percy opened the door after a frantic minute of knocks, clothes rumpled. "What do you need?" He mumbled, half asleep.

"We need you to take us to Gotham." Will started.

"Why do you need to go there?"

"A quest." Nico replied.

Percy looked up at the sky and flipped it off, causing thunder to echo through the clouds. "F*CK YOU!" He shouted, as he walked back inside.

The door slammed shut, and the sound of something breaking could be heard through the door.

A minute later, the door opened again, revealing Percy wearing a dark blue shirt and black jeans.

He grabbed their hands and the three of them start to shake violently. Faster and faster, until they disappeared.

The trio appeared in a well-furnished room, covered in dark shades of blue, green, and purple. A green fireplace crackled behind them, as Percy spun around and hit three buttons on the mantle. One orange, one purple, and one labeled with a 'H'.

A person dressed in a black suit and green tie walked in. "Who's there?"

"Percy Jackson, Nico di Angelo, and Will Solace."

The female's eyes widened, and she asked "What are you all doing here?"

"Nico and I are here on a quest."

"OH! Well then, feel free to contact us if you require any help."

An hour later, Nico and Will walked out of the house, carrying more food and demigod provisions.

Nico suddenly stopped, hearing someone whisper "Ghost King" into a shadow.

A scream echoed through the streets, and Will and Nico made eye contact.

They dove back into the house, closing and locking the door behind them.

They looked at each other, dead in the eyes. Will reached up, Nico reaching into his pocket, hand clenched around a small chain. With a practiced ease, Will tapped on his helix earring, once, twice, and a third time as Nico pulled on the chain.

The light twisted in the room, changing as it ran to them and covered them, releasing them into the world.

Ghost King and Rex Angeli.
