Is human enough for me?

If it was, would I be standing in front of the man I love, bringing him from the Dead and back to the Alive?

"Percy. . ." I breathlessly start.

I didn't know what to do. I hadn't thought of anything really but Percy's lop-sided smile, until now, where I stood in front of him, going over every quick thought that I didn't have time to process, only feel the emotions of.

"Nico?" Percy Jackson blinked. "What. . . what are you doing here?"

Nico took that opportunity. His legs couldn't wait any longer. He happily launched at Percy, wrapping his arms around Nico's throat and squeezing him tightly.

Hades didn't know what Nico was really doing. Hades just thought Nico was saying a last goodbye, something Hades agreed Nico deserved after losing his mother, sister and even some friends.

"I'm getting you out of here," Nico whispered. "I'm taking you home."
