![]() "Speaking of which, I have a press conference in a few hours and I think it might be a good idea for you all to make an appearance, sans Jason, of course." "So we'll take it as it comes." Dick took his place at Bruce's side looking at his brothers, who nodded along. Diana and Arthur have added to the monster database, but there is still so much we don't know going into this." Bruce sighed heavily. There are a lot of monsters and a lot of gods that we will have to worry about. "Rome is known as the Ancient Lands and Diana says that it is off limits to modern demigods because of how dangerous it is. ![]() At least now he had something to focus on. "What do you expect we'll encounter in Rome?" Tim looked determined and for that Bruce was grateful. It could be any day now, according to Diana, and we need to be ready." Bruce cautioned. You'll all need to pack go-bags just in case. "No, but we need to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice. "So we're not planning on going there right away?" Jason frowned. She said that there should be a notable increase in monster activity in the time leading up to when the demigods arrive." I spoke to Diana today and she said that seven demigods all together are going to attract a lot of attention. "I'm currently scanning the country for monster activity. "When are we going to Rome, father?" Damian asked. "It's a chance and that's all we have right now." "Ok, so Hazel is part of the quest of seven, and the theory is that Gaea is going to try to use Nico to lure them into what. It was a condensed version of what Nico had told him, but it got the point across. He brought her back, stashed her with Ivy for a few days, then moved her to the Roman camp in California." Bruce explained. When he was there he met Hazel and decided to give her a second chance at life instead. When the doors opened, Nico went to the Underworld to see if he could bring Bianca back without realizing that she had tried for rebirth. She died to Gaea once before in an effort to halt her rising back then. ![]() "She's his half-sister from the nineteen thirties. Bruce had thought he'd told them all about his phone call with Nico in New Rome but at the moment he couldn't recall. "Who did Nico bring back from the dead?" Dick frowned. She's not just going to abandon him." He reasoned. Nico brought her back from the dead and gave her a second chance. "Because he'd make good bait." Jason spoke up, "Hazel is part of the quest of seven. He didn't have a satisfying answer and the last thing he wanted to do is to cause the boys to lose hope. It was a question that Bruce had been dreading. "Why would Gaea want to keep him alive?" Dick asked. In this case, he may still be alive." Bruce tried to put it delicately but there was only so much he could do to soften the blow. The second is because he was captured by Gaea's forces. The first reason is that he fell in battle to the forces that no doubt surround the doors of death. If that is the case, there are only two reasons he would have failed. "Reyna believes that the fact that the monsters are still not staying dead means that Nico did not complete his mission in Tartarus. "Why would Nico be in Rome?" Bruce pivoted to meet his sons' faces. It stands to reason that Nico could be there too if he is still alive." Bruce explained.ĭamian frowned. Last she knew, that was their overall destination and where they planned to face off with Gaea and her forces. Reyna called me at the office yesterday and she told me that she has reason to believe that the 'Quest of Seven' as she calls it, will likely end up in Rome sometime soon. He glanced over Bruce's shoulders, examining the feeds himself. "So what did you find out?" Tim spoke first when they reached him. Hopefully, Nico would be there to see it too. It would take time and work, but maybe they could all be happy again eventually. Maybe there was a way they could come back from this. When they finally all came back up, they were horsing around a bit like they had before Nico had disappeared and it made Bruce hopeful.
