"Hello everyone!"

"Will? When did you get back from your trip? And where's Nico?" Dick asked.

"Nico and I got back this morning, around 2 am probably. We got in through the windows. He'll be down in three minutes."

"Why did you two just disappear?" Jason asked.

Will took a seat at the kitchen table, grabbing a few pieces of bacon for himself. "Family emergency. One of Nico's cousins found an extended family member in trouble and needed backup to run a rescue."

"Is everyone okay? Who had them?" Dick questioned, leaning forward in his chair.

"Everyone's fine. Worst injuries were two mild concussions and a broken arm. And you wouldn't know the organization that had them."

"Are you sure? We do have our connections..."

"Oh trust me. You wouldn't be able to find them."

"Better question yet. Why didn't you call the police? Or the superheroes?"

"Having a bunch of kids who have been declared missing for most of their lives call the cops isn't the best idea."

Jason stood up, moving to lean against the wall. "This kid's worse then I am."

"No sh!t."

Dick grabbed a scrap of paper and scribbled a phone number on it, before thrusting it at Will.

"Who's number is this?"

"Batman's. If you need help, call him and someone will show up, no questions asked."

"And why do you have his phone number memorized?"

"With Wayne Enterprises being as influential as it is, things occasionally go south."

"Okay. How the f do you use this toaster?"

Jason's head snapped around to look at the dark-haired Italian, while Dick jumped and fell out of his chair.

Jason yelled "HOW DID YOU GET THERE?!?!?"

"I walked in through the door..." replied Nico sheepishly.

"...Have you two seriously been wearing the same clothes for the past few days?"

Nico glanced towards his shirt hem, realizing that the fabric was falling apart around him. "Maybe."

"We should go shopping then! Just the four of us!" Dick exclaimed, picking himself off of the floor.

"Fine. But after lunch."

"... You just want decent cooking, don't you Neeks."

"Shut up."

Yes, Nico did actually walk in through the door.

I've been productive! Not necessarily writing wise (This was supposed to include the shopping trip too, but whatever), but I have the next two superhero designs created!

Question of the Chapter

Do you have any PJO headcanons that you'll die with?

- My favorite one is that Nico is an amazing artist but he can't remember learning how to draw (memories washed away by Lethe)
