Quietly, Nico listened as Freddy spoke, giving the other boy his full attention (though he was careful not to stare because that would have just been weird). He wasn't sure what to make of a wizard giving someone his powers, but he supposed there were weirder things out there. And it sounded kind of... cool, really. Maybe not being an adult part, but the rest of it. But what if his brother couldn't speak? Did the whole Shazam thing only work if he could verbalize? Would it work if it were a shouted whisper? And what kind of fight?
Instead of asking those questions, he nodded, responding with, "yeah," as he turned his attention to the snow cone containers.
Reaching for one of the containers, he paused, looking back at Freddy. "If your brother's anything like this guy I know, he'll be okay. And..." He paused, thinking of his sisters, of Bianca going off on some stupid quest, of Hazel on her own quest and not knowing if she was okay or not but knowing she was capable. He thought of the fight he'd had with Bianca, of his anger toward Percy that could have consumed him. "You always fight with the people you care about. They're the ones who get under your skin, but you get under theirs, too. It's backwards, but..." He shrugged. "It's family."
