Greek myths are real Aliens or Monsters c28
The arrived in Wakanda taking a quin jet to the Palace where they met King T'Challa and formal introductions were made officially face to face even though they had met over phone. Sam felt like she was being assessed again by these people but now she was used to it so was rather good at ignoring it. They headed inside to discuss battle strategies Sam took a step back letting the adults take over however through the meeting she felt eyes on her and turned to meet Natasha staring at her, the question was clear in her eyes.
"The fight will take place on two fronts. The monsters attacking us from here, and the aliens coming in from here." Sam stated they were looking over a map as she spoke she pointed out their most strategic responses. "They outnumber us, we need to think strategically, the monsters will have not fighting pattern, they are ruthless and strong. Most however are not that bright…brawn over brains. They have no honour in fighting so don't let them surround you. The greeks and Romans know how to fight them and they will go after them because…well that is what they do. They hate us more than you. The aliens will come from the ground but also the air, they have these big flying things that is bigger than the carriers. Their ships won't land if you take out their ships before they get lower enough to drop out their troops that might help otherwise this valley here would be the best option to draw them in. we fight old school with swords, arrows, spears…if we have a legion of archers here to shoot them as they leave the valley…it might work, however it won't last long once they know about them they will try to stop them. If we have the Romans and Asgardians stationed here, then we can have the Wakandans and Greek here. The avengers will lead here and their main priority would be Thanos when he gets here." Sam stated the room was in silence staring at her.
"Will this plan work?"
"It is our best defence option." Sam replied they were then sent to their rooms to get some rest, the preparation would start tomorrow.
The Asgardians arrived before the Greeks or Romans setting up camp away from the Wakandans Thor led them, he had the Warriors three and Lady Sif with him most of the time as they were briefed on the plan. The Wakandan Army was also ready they were just waiting for the Romans and Greeks, time seemed to be going quickly as everyone got ready for the upcoming fight setting up the defences. When the Greeks and Romans arrived Sam could not help but feel disappointed that Annabeth and Percy were not with them. She made her way over to he war council, Malcom and Clarisse were in charge as Annabeth and Percy were not here.
"There are a lot of soldiers around." Malcom stated
"Is it enough though?" Clarisse asked
"The plan you came up with is good." Malcom stated looking at Sam who gave him a smile
"It has to work." Sam stated as the others set up camp she walked around them every now and then one would acknowledge her but the mood amongst everyone was strained as they got themselves ready for the fight that was going to happen within the next couple of days.
"Sam!" a voice called making her turn to see Thalia coming over to her with three hunters each one had their hoods up, they did not seem happy to be around the campers.
"Thalia." Sam nodded her head in greeting "Have you settled in?"
"Yes, we found a place in the forest, setting up traps as you requested." Thalia stated and Sam nodded her head that was good, she was not sure how to act around the hunters.
"They've set up a dining station if you guys are hungry. The Asgardian camp is on the next ridge and the Wakandans are behind us." Sam informed them
"We are happy to take care of ourselves, what about you?" Thalia asked
"What about me?" Sam asked back
"You are…" she stopped as Sam placed her hand over her mouth stopping her from speaking looking around she noted that a couple of campers looked at them strangely.
"I am going to check on Will see if he has everything ready…"
"Sam you cannot deny it, that symbol…" Thalia stated looking down at the mark on her arm
"I am too busy at the moment making sure everyone is ready and not going to fight each other to worry about what will happen after the fight. I suggest you do your job and set up scouts to keep an eye out for monsters." Aria stated
"You are not the lieutenant." One of the hunters stated angrily making Sam look at her, Thalia held her hand up stopping the girl from talking.
"You're right I am not, I did not ask for this, I did not volunteer. My focus however is to make sure that everyone is ready for this fight and what the best possible way for us to win without too many casualties." Sam replied walking away from them, Thalia could see the frustration in her eyes and did not chose to follow after her.
"What was that about?" Natasha asked falling in step with Sam as she made her way through the camp heading for the Romans.
"Nothing, just a disagreement." Sam replied
"A disagreement is not nothing."
"How long were you there for?" Sam asked
"Long enough, what was that girl talking about. You are not the lieutenant?"
"I am not in charge of that group they listen to Thalia when their goddess is not with them. They do not like outsiders." Sam replied speaking the truth "Just drop it Nat, they have done everything I have asked them to do. The western Forest is covered in traps and they have scouts keeping an eye out for monsters they are the best in that sort of environment." Sam stated
"You have told us where we will all be, mapped out a very detailed plan. What are you going to be doing?" Natasha asked the others were curious too but felt that Natasha was the one to get answers.
"I will be where I am needed most." Sam replied but Natasha could tell that she was keeping something from them and she had a feeling it was important. "Will!" she called out to her half brother and smiled at him she went to go and hug him but stopped herself her arm was burning and pain flared across her body so she took a step back. He looked at her with concern but she gave him a shake of her head.
"Have you got everything set up?"
"Yes, our infirmary is all set. We have joined forces with the Romans they despise us less over the others. We also met the Asgardian healers…wow. They make you think of dad…I mean learning from them will be a new experience they seemed surprised at our youth." Will stated noting the flash of pain in her eyes at the mention of their father.
"If you need anything write a list, I will get it." Sam stated and Will nodded before he was called off, everyone was still so busy. She made it to the Roman camp and they seemed a lot more organised over the Greeks at this Sam was not surprised at. She ended up meeting Reyna surprised that she had finished her own quest, she had taken led over the legions and held the respect of her subordinates. "How was it?" Sam asked
"We completed it."
"Did you meet up with the others?"
"I did."
"Any news?" Sam asked at this Reyna looked pained she gave a small shake of her head. "So you returned it to the Greek camp?"
"Yes, I was told what happened in New Rome." Reyna stated
"Technically I did not break any rules." Sam stated
"You punched Octavius."
"He was possessed. Nobody else seemed to mind that I did."
"I just wish I was there to see it." Reyna smiled but it soon fell from her face. "I also heard what Terminus said." She stated and Sam tensed she still did not know the answer to what he had informed her but it was like she had no motivation to get the answer.
"Praetor…" A roman called her away before Sam could reply so instead she turned around looking at the camp everything seemed to be in order, she was not looking forward till tomorrow but at the same time she really wanted this to be over with.
"Don't you have a job to do?" Sam asked Natasha
"I am doing it, making sure my team is ready for tomorrow." Natasha replied
"I am not a member of your team." Sam stated looking at her before she walked away from her before she could respond.
