A/N I am so sorry about not updating Please believe me when I say there was no time for me to write with everything that is happening. Please don't give up on me.

Nico stood before the Gods feeling very small indeed. All of the twelve Olympians, including Apollo, looked down on him with the same expressions of sympathy and fear.

"Nico di Angelo, son of my brother, Hades. You are in great danger. Your step-brother, Zagrues is plotting to kill you, you must flee. We offer you and three others protection. Although we cannot promise to be there everytime. This is your fight. Who are your chosen three?" Zeus asked.

Nico had to think on the spot. None of his friends who had just saved Olympus, they wanted to settle down now. How about Will? "Clarisse daughter of Aries, Dakota son of Dionysus and Will son of Apollo if it is permitted,". Nico looked at Apollo questioningly and received a nod and a cheeky smirk.

"Alright, Nico. We will watch over you. You must leave as soon as you can."

Nico bowed as a farewell, and exited the throne room. His friends had left already, knowing that Nico could shadow travel. Just as the boy was about to leave, he was met by Apollo, damn, he was hot. Apollo smirked at him, and dispute the wounds on his face, he looked nearly as good as new.

"You have given me back my place on the thrones of Olympus, and for that I thank you. You have also given my son love, Nico di Angelo, I give you permission to date and one day marry my son."

Nico was touched that he had been given the faith in that he would be a good husband for Will. He just hoped that they would survive the mission so that they would get the chance to share their lives together.
