Hazel's POV:
"I don't know about this Percy, it's one thing to interfere with mortals here in the US, but this is a whole other community with their own laws. Hecate herself created this community." Annabeth said. Currently, we were in a meeting of representatives for our next plan of action. Nico and Jason were sitting next to me while we faced Annabeth and Percy across from us with Thalia. I had three of my witches outside of the safe house while Nico brought along one of his Guards to stand by in the meeting. A single Hunter and Amazon stood behind Thalia as bodyguards, while Jason had his Elites patrolling the magical barrier my witches provided. Percy had his group of heroes wait at their underwater base, feeling confident in his and Annabeth's emergency pearls. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss our next plan of action.
"Think about it Anna, thanks to Nico we have a lot more scientific advancements thanks to the Justice Leagues corporations. So much so that we can teleport! But science's one downside is the things that can't be explained, magic. We've seen it work on Superman Jr., so doesn't it make sense that if we were to prepare for every threat that looms over us we make some magic advancements too? Hazel, tell us what kind of magic is your coven able to do exactly?" Percy voiced.
Looking at Nico and Jason, who nodded their heads after our silent conversation, I stood up. Putting my left hand over my third eye and my right palm up, I gave them a glimpse of what I was thinking about. "As you can see, my coven is able to create golems and weapons using the divine materials, Stygian iron, Celestial bronze, and Imperial gold. Even using some silver we get from the Hunters and unstable artifacts recovered by the Amazons and Nico's guard. The mist could cover up the appearance to mortals and it wasn't a problem before."
The image went on showing the different topics I mentioned and a few diagrams and blueprints for its constructions. "That's the thing though. Now that we've expanded to mortals, we need to start adapting or creating things to deal with them. Our materials are able to hit Superman, aliens, and magical beings alike in the Justice League. But what about the dangerous mortals?" Jason imputed.
"The mist doesn't work well for all demigods and sometimes it's too random where we end up looking like bad guys. Nothing my Guard has come across is equipped with dealing with those things. Our jobs are to kill and leave, not crowd control or include memories," Nico stated.
Hazel then brought up a castle with a map of Scotland. "Hecate gave me this information along with others about a community she made long ago. It's filled to the brim of magical beings that specialize in having their society in the mortal world. They have spells that are literally tailored for mortals. The barriers might not be as strong as the ones we have but they have the potential. Besides, they are able to repel mortals from the area and wipe their memories of the events."
Thalia raised both her brows, "How do you suppose we get a hand on their magic then? My sisters must stay with the flame of the west to keep the monster population in check, the Amazons won't leave their business, and if I remember correctly both camps are indisposed to adjust with the flying mortals. That leaves only both of your groups, is this really something you want to risk? The location is pretty nearby to the ancient lands. You know what happens when we go near that place."
"Which is why we will be going there ourselves!" Percy exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" "This isn't what we discussed" "Nope, too busy with shrines" "Seaweed Brain we have school now"
"Relax everyone, I already figured it out. Thalia, you can afford to go because thanks to Wonderwoman who volunteered to train the Amazons and Hunters in the old style of combat your duties can be delegated for some time." Thalia had a look saying 'stupid kelp head being right' "Nico, your Guard is self operational even without you and Will being there so you can come and Hazel you can literally bring half your coven. Besides this is where Tom Riddle is at so it's a two for the price of none since we'll be there to help you out."
"Lady Hazel! We have incoming mortals! It seems to be the ones after Klarion and Wally West!" Rushed in one of my witches. She had her black hoodie up and her jeans looked dirty with blood dripping from a wound. "The others are buying us time, the elites are dealing with the minions while the other two have the assassins locked down." I rushed to prepare my teleportation spell with the help of Nico and his Guard member. During our study on shadow travel, we've found an easier way to travel everyone using rune magic to pinpoint who is going where. While using magic to enter the shadow realm the runes, infusing it with Nico's power allows us to travel safely to the place we want to go.
"Thalia and Jason you both help get all the elites back in here so we can all leave. Hazel and Nico along with Alex, get our escape ready, Percy and I will make sure nobody interferes. Go!" Annabeth ordered. As much as I wanted to rain down Hades onto whoever dared attack us, I understood that it's best to withdraw from a surprise attack than to risk it all fighting.
Thalia's POV:
I knocked down the door, rushing outside with my bow and arrow at the ready. My sisters decided to crash through the window, Chloe (Hunter) and Kira (Amazon) with their weapons ready started to fire at the enemies. Surveying the area, I saw two masked individuals wrapped in smoke by Hazel's witches and Jason's Elites fighting ninja-looking people. Feeling the wind pick up, I looked to see my brother flying straight to a helicopter above us. "SISTERS, ATTACK!" My war car was met with dozens of arrows that pierced through the stray ninjas aiming for the openings with Elites locked in 1 on 3. 'Jason teaches these boys well' I thought.
"Thalia, bring down the lighting on these bitches!" Jason shouted as he held onto the bottom of the chopper. I looked up to see him smirk and switched my bow for my spear. Raising it towards the chopper I felt the feel of an exciting rush of energy. As the lightning bolt hit the chopper, frying its instruments Jason flew off and aimed the leftover lightning at the rest of the ninjas still fighting the Elites. They all crumbled down as he landed. Looking over to the witches he said, "Place curses on their hearts so if they ever make another one of us bleed they die, your Mistress awaits you both!"
After stripping the enemy of everything useful, we all headed back into the house where we were then transported to Camp Jupiter since it was the closest to our safe house. "So remember guys, we all meet up at CHB on August 20th to prepare, and then we're off to see the wizards. And witches, sheesh pinecone-face. I don't even know their preferred titles yet so you can't fault me." Percy announced. I knew when he wanted something we can't say no. Annabeth is in love with him, Jason has a bromance with him, Nico used to have a crush on him, while Hazel and I will always go to protect our brothers.
Author's Note:
Hey guys, so how'd you like the plot so far? Reviews are welcomed. This takes place AFTER Team vs Guard, but don't worry! There are no spoilers and if there was then it's too minor for you to piece together the ending. I haven't created a list of OC for Hazel's coven yet but when I do I'll switch out the known PJO characters except two with the OCs
