Solangelo Week 2k19: Day 6 – “Secret Powers / Super Powers” @solangeloweek​

A/N:I’m soooo sorry how long it took me to write this! Just the typical business oflife plus trying to decide what I wanted to do with it. Here we are with somecool powers! (This ended up so much longer than expected)

Read on AO3 or FF.Net or Wattpad

“Will, this is the perfectopportunity.”

“But it’s not really tested!It could be dangerous!”

Capture the Flag was coming upand Will and Nico were both on the Red Team. Will recently unlocked some newlight-controlling powers that he, ironically, was working on controlling. Hefirst discovered it when he was really excited to take Nico out on a date. Hestood on the doorstep of Cabin 13 actually glowing, his freckles twinklinglike stars. Nico looked at him with awe for a total of 5 seconds before collapsingto the ground in laughter. Later that night, when Nico kissed Will goodnight,light shot out of Will’s hands like flashlights because of his surprise anddelight. Nico was once again doubled over in laughter as Will freaked out abouthow do you turn this damn thing off??

Needless to say, Will had beentraining with his powers whenever he could. He discovered that he couldconcentrate light in his hands and kind of throw it like a ball. If he concentratedhard enough, he could hold its shape until it hit something, at which pointWill released it and it became something like a flash grenade. He found his newpower cool not only because it could actually be used in a fight, but alsobecause it never really hurt people, only temporarily blinded them. He hadn’treally hit someone with his “ball of sunshine” as Nico dubbed it, afraid itwould be scorching hot or something.

“Okay, but what if I caught it?”Nico had posed his latest theory of how to utilize Will’s powers earlier thatday while training.

“Does ‘hot as the sun’ meannothing to you?” Will rolled his eyes as he shot individual rays out of hisfingertips. They were both taking a break on the side of the arena.

Nico hummed in thought. “But,like, if I had padding or something. Something so I wouldn’t touch it directly…you can catch your own light balls, right?”

“Well, I can hold it, so Iassume I can also catch it if it’s still in ball form.” Will turned aquestioning eye towards his boyfriend. “But it’s my own powers, so that makessense.”

Nico sat there for another 30seconds before suddenly standing up and moving to the other side of their trainingsection, near the wall. “Shine some light over here, to my right.”

He gave no other instructionor hint as to what he was doing, so Will did as he was told. He held his righthand out and shot a beam of light towards Nico, who stared at the ray for a fewmore seconds. Then, Nico swirled his arms around and gathered the shadows castby the wall, motioning upwards to create his own separate wall of shadows. Nico’sshadow-manipulation was improving every day, going as far as creating darknessout of nothing, but that required a lot of energy and concentration.

Nico pulled his shadow wallaway from the arena wall and towards Will, almost like he was trying to pushWill’s light back. He then ducked behind his wall, then popped his head backaround to look at Will.

“It’s blocking the light!” heshouted. “Your light can’t penetrate my shadows!”

Will was a little confused asto what Nico was trying to accomplish, but he guessed that was kind ofinteresting. He decided to test its limits. Will put both of his hands together,palms out, and pulsed harder, emitting a stronger, brighter ray of light. Theforce of it had Nico looking away for a moment, though his shadow wall stillheld. He condensed his wall, and it was honestly more than a little scary tosee a thick rectangle of pitch-blackness just hovering there. Nico againchecked behind his wall and looked back at Will with excitement in his eyes. “It’sgood!”

Will let his light go, hisarms feeling a bit tired after the training they had done beforehand. Nicodecided to jump into his shadow wall and pop out right next to Will. Lazylittle show-off.

“That was so cool! So, myshadows are stronger than your light beams,” he said with a mix of child-likewonder and smugness. Will didn’t know if it was cute or annoying.

“Yeah, and…?”

“So, I’m thinking,” Nico drewout as he plopped down once more on the ground. “If I can hold your light in ashadow, like wrap it up or something, it’d be concealed and way more useful.Also, if we used our powers together, it’d probably look pretty cool.” Nicoalways gestured with his hands when he was excited, sometimes accidentallystirring up the shadows around him in a way that seemed terrifying, but Willfound endearing.

“I don’t know if that’ll work…you mean like covering one of my light balls in shadows? How would that work?”

“Basically, it’s like theflash grenade thing that it already does, but stealthy. No one would see itcoming and then BAM light bomb.” Nico was grinning like a maniac at this point.Will was beginning to warm up to the idea as well when the dinner horn wentoff.

Will held his hand out toNico, who immediately grabbed it and pulled himself up. He was already frowningwhen Will said, “Guess we’ll have to try it next time.”

Then, of course, Capture the Flagwas announced, and Nico was determined to do the “dark flash” (Will wasimmediately against the name).

That evening, when strategywas set and the starting conch sounded, Will and Nico broke off to the rightside. Not many people knew about Will’s powers, but they knew that the two ofthem had great chemistry in battle as well as outside of it. The couple eitherproved to be an insistent distraction to the other team or no help at allbecause they were making out. Will preferred the latter, but Nico was on amission today.

“Okay, we’re far enough away fromthe other side still. Here,” he gathered a layer of shadows over his palms. “Makea small ball and put it here.”

Will cupped his hands togetherand concentrated. A soft glow emitted from his hands before it pulled togetherin the center, making a golf ball-sized ball of light. He moved his hands aboveNico’s, looking up at his eyes to be sure before gently dropping the ball ontothe shadow layer. The shadows stirred a bit, but otherwise remained fullyintact. As Nico showed no signs of pain, Will was pleased with how theirexperiment was going so far.

“Okay, now let��s see if this partworks.” Nico carefully brought his hands up around the ball, essentially layinghis shadows over it like he was covering it with a blanket. “Focus on holdingthat ball shape, even if you can’t see it,” Nico reminded as the light of theball was smothered by the darkness. Will nodded, watching as Nico held hisshadows in place and now held the ball in his hand. It would be almost indiscerniblein the darkness of the night if it weren’t for the contrast of Nico’s palehand.

“Woah,” Will breathed. Hecouldn’t believe this was actually working, though he didn’t know what to dowith it now.

Apparently, Nico did. The onlywarning he gave Will was a crooked grin before he chucked the ball as far as hecould towards enemy territory. “Release it now!”

Will was honestly so caughtoff guard that he would’ve released his control on it anyway. He had no idea whereit was, until there was a sudden burst of light about 30 yards to their front-left.Nico probably transported it with the shadows, whether purposefully oraccidentally out of excitement. He heard a few yells of surprise, before “Solace!”rang out, sounding like Cecil but an octave higher. He was one of the fewpeople who knew how Will and Nico were practicing using his new power.

Will was turning towards Nicoto comment, when suddenly hands were on the collar of his shirt, tugging himdown to meet Nico’s lips. The kiss was quick, Nico pulling back to exclaim, “Ohmy gods, that was so awesome. Your powers make you, like, 20 times hotter.”

Will couldn’t help the smilethat stretched his lips wide. “Are you saying I wasn’t hot before?” he saidlowly as he wound his hands around Nico’s waist.

Nico gazed up at him with redcheeks and smiling eyes. “Oh, you were. You can imagine how difficult my lifeis now with your new levels of hot.”

Will hummed. “Let me make iteasier.” He surged down to capture Nico’s lips once more, kissing with as muchheat as he could muster. Nico groaned into his mouth, and Will was lost. Suddenly,he was pressing Nico up against a tree, nearly lifting him up so that he couldkiss him better. Nico’s arms were looped around Will’s neck, simultaneouslypulling himself up and pulling Will down towards him.

Will forgot about the game,about his powers, about anything except Nico. Nico and his tender lips, softhair, muscular arms. His sweet voice, his tiny smile, his deep brown eyes. Willwas lost and had no desire to be found.

Of course, with both of theireyes closed, neither noticed that Will was glowing like a firefly in the night.They were too caught up in each other, without a care in the world.

“Get a room!” The arrow thatstuck with a thunk into the tree near their heads did catch theirattention. Will whirled around to see that Lou Ellen and a few Hermes kids hadsurrounded them.

“Louuuuu,” Will whined likethe child he was. “Can’t you see we’re in the middle of something?”

Lou Ellen snorted. “Uh, yeah,Will. Everyone can see that.” The other kids snickered, including the onedirectly behind Will.

He turned around to see Nicoshaking with suppressed laughter. He pouted at his boyfriend, “What?” Thatsimple question broke Nico, who burst out into giggles. His face was red, fromthe kissing or the laughter, Will wasn’t sure. The longer Nico laughed, themore confused Will became. “What is it?” Will asked again.

Nico kept laughing, butanswered, “Will… look down.”

And he did. And he was afreaking beacon. Will flushed in embarrassment, which made it worsebecause his cheeks were almost glowing red now. Because that’s exactlyhow his stupid powers worked.

Nico got his laughter under controljust enough to reach out and cup Will’s cherry red cheek. “Don’t worry, we canstill get out of this one,” he winked. Will already knew this was going to be adisaster.

Lou Ellen scoffed, signaling herteammates to move in and capture the lovebirds. “Yeah right, di Angelo. Justlet us tie you up so we can leave you idiots alone again. I don’t need to seeyou suck face anymore than I already do.”

Nico didn’t deign that with areply as he covertly pulled together a mass of shadows. He gave Will ameaningful look, which Will assumed meant do the light thing. He knew hehad to do it quickly, so he focused a lot of light into one spot right in frontof Nico.

“Wrap it and throw!” heshouted, and Nico did as he was told. Unfortunately, Will kind of forgot thathe had to hold his light together, so Nico ended up just throwing a bunch ofshadows at the other campers while Will blinded everyone in the vicinity,including himself.

Chiron decided that usingnewfound powers in a Capture the Flag match was a hazard from then on.
