Nico wakes up in a bed. Nico was confused: Why would he be sleeping in a bed? Then the events of the last day came back to him. He remembered eating pizza with the Red Hood, taking a hot shower, and then being shown the guest room he was allowed- no, told to sleep in.
“Morning, sleepyhead.”
Nico turned to the side of the door to see the man known as the Red Hood, stand in the doorway. But only the man didn’t wear the black helmet. The man had porcelain skin and raven black hair. His spiked hair had a streak of white in it as if he were an rockstar.
Nico yawned upon seeing the man. “Sleep well?” Nico nodded.
“Could you do me a favour and get some groceries at noon?” The vigilante asked as he gave Nico a credit card and a shopping list. The credit card had some numbers on it and the name ‘Jason Todd.’ Nico made a mental note to check that name out.
After going to the shopping centre, where he made sure to evade the store he had previously robbed, he went to a supermarket. There he got some ingredients for what he would cook in the evening.
After that he realized he had a lot of free time. So he went to the library. Nico realised he hadn’t caught up with the news ever since World War Two.
First he looked up ‘Jason Todd’, the name of the Red Hood who would have taken him in.
Gotham Gazette: A death in the Family: Bruce Wayne’s Adopted Son Jason Todd had died.
Celeberty Watch: Bruce Wayne takes in a homeless boy by the name of Jason Todd
Famousies: Dick Grayson Replaced? Bruce Wayne takes in a second child.
When Nico found read these articles Nico began to wonder who this Bruce Wayne was. Upon another Google Search he found out about Wayne being a billionaire playboy and the owner of a massive company known as Wayne Enterprises. This Bruce had more children than Jason Todd and Dick Grayson. He also had; Timothy Drake, Damian Wayne, Cassandra Cain, and Duke Thomas. He also read about a blonde woman called Stephanie Brown, who the reporters of PersonalLife thought to be the next child of Bruce Wayne due to her always appearing at the home of the Wayne’s.
When Nico was finished he borrowed a book, the label said ‘The Song of Achilles.’ He had once met Achilles and his lover Patroclus when in Asphodel, and he wondered how accurate the book was to the story the pair they had told.
“The Song of Achilles?” Jason asked after Nico arrived at the warehouse. “You’ve got taste, kid.” “T-Thanks.”
Jason’s phone started ringing. Well, not ringing, it began with playing ‘Die Young‘ by Sheppard.
“Grayson,” he said into the phone. Nico remembered the name of the one of Jason’s brother. “Yeah?” After a while Jason spoke again. “I don’t think I can.”
“Why not?” Dick asked Jason. “I’ve got this kid I’m taking care of. So I think I’ll skip of your Super Cool Brotherly Bonding thingy.”
“If you wanna join but only won’t due to me, I can just come with,” Nico offered after hearing Jason.
“He agrees,” Dick said. “Please!” “Fine,” Jason sighed.
When Jason glared at Nico Nico just gave an innocent smile.
