1. He was a stalker
Andrew snorted irritably. That guy was stalking them again. Did he think they wouldn't notice? Well, Percy was too focused on explaining how to defend against a Cyclops to mind anything else, and given the number of enemies he seemed to have, it was either confidence in his ability to deal with them or stupidity.
Nico took advantage of the shadows to spy on them, his black eyes fixed on Percy as if he wanted to steal his soul.
It was creepy and several times Andrew had wanted to throw something at him to stop him.
Well, it wasn't a nice thing to do, but could he be blamed? Who told him that among the powers of the son of Hades there was not also that of killing with the look?
At one point he took the knife that Renee had given him, but Percy stopped him, "Don't, he doesn't want trouble. ”
“ So you know he's here. ”
“ I'm not that oblivious. ”
“ And you don't do anything? ”
“ Why should I? He's not trying to kill me. "
" For now - Andrew pointed out - You don't know when he might decide he's tired of waiting. "
" So you underestimate me. "
" Looks like you underestimate him. ”
“ I'm sure he won't do anything wrong. “
If Percy was sure, Andrew will comply. But if that asshole tries to do something weird, Andrew won't hesitate to fight him.
2.He was persistent
Sally wasn't at home. But he heard Percy's voice coming from the living room.
"I already told you, I have to think about it."
The voice that answered made Andrew quiver with rage,
"Time is running out. expire. "
" I know. "
" It doesn't seem like it. "
" I'm looking for alternatives. "
" They don't exist. "
you know? ”
Both demigods turned to stare at him. Nico grimaced, "This is none of your business, mortal."
"My brother's life is in danger, of course, he intrudes on me."
"What can you understand? You are special only because you see beyond the Mist, but you remain a mere mortal. "
Andrew dropped his backpack to the ground," Want to see how this mortal kicks your ass? "
" Try it. "
Percy got in the way before the situation escalated, "Stop it, both of you. Andrew, Nico is too strong for you. At the moment. Nico, give me time to think about it. "
" It doesn't fit. You have to act now. ”
“ If you allow, I decide. I don't want to risk my life in vain and let Kronos win. ”
Nico couldn't find anything else to argue. He just said, “I'll be back.”
Then he disappeared. Damn shadow travel!
3.He was a liar
The first thing Andrew did when Nico showed up with the Underworld army was punched him in the face.
Kevin whistled in admiration as Percy yelled his name.
Andrew didn't care if all of a sudden Hades decided to fight. He didn't even care about Kronos within walking distance.
He wanted to tear that asshole apart for lying to Percy!
Nico rubbed the affected part, "I guess I deserve it."
“ You guess?! Because of you, Percy could have stayed in the Underworld forever! ”
“ I saved him. ”
“ You lied to him! ”
“ Achilles' curse made him stronger. ”
Andrew retorted,“ But you didn't want to take him to Hades for that! You wanted to give it to your father! You didn't care about the fate of the world! “
“ I care! ”
“ And how do I know it's not a lie? It seems like every time you open your mouth you lie! ”
The next explosion covered Nico's response, but it was probably for the best. He didn't want to hear his excuses from him.
For these reasons, Andrew didn't like Nico. Not at all. And he was convinced that other sons of Hades would also be like him. He would have hated them all regardless.
Then he met Neil ... and well, Andrew liked him too much. But Neil didn't count. He was a son of Pluto.
