RECAP:
Thalia looked at D.A questionably. "Who are you?" She asked a bit rudely causing Jason to elbow her.
The assassin looked at her sharply. "Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus and Hunter of Artemis. I take no mind of your rudeness as you may call me D.A. As I have many names, and that goes for all of you. You shall call me D.A and nothing else."
She then changed the subject, "I've also been ordered to inform you of a new threat to you in the war, particularly why we are aiding you demigods in this war. Order as officially risen and is looking to destroy earth, he can't do it simply as he is weak from his banishment and rise. Though he is still strong and looking as your enemy in this war. I've also have a warning to tell you,
Beware of Order, as He is not on your side.
The group of fallen alphas has been on alkaline.
Chaos soldiers is to your advantage.
As Fallen heroes arrive at campus.
Accept the help for your sake.
Or the twin planets shall fall and fire shall it bake.
Goodbye Demigods, I'll shall be there when you need me."
Her voice spoke through the wind as her mouth was closed and she disappeared in the shadows of her cloak.

Chapter 2:
D.A vanished from their sight, but stayed above the big house, cloaked in her own shadows making her invisible to the naked eye. She stayed in a crouched position, overhearing their conversation. It was simply easy, but she wouldn't dare jinx it now. The children of hades will find out of her 'oddities' if she hadn't been clever in a way.
The times she bends the shadows is easily done and it hides her true form when manipulating the shadow itself. She had just made it cling onto her though, and it was clear that the female spawn of hades figured out her trick. They would know of her ability but not why she did so and get suspicious.
That was once all down the drain when she had heard Annabeth gasp loudly. D.A's raven cat ears on her head twitched to the sound, her tail instinctively swaying slightly in curiosity. She took a hesitatingly glance inside the room. She internally winced when she saw the marks on the Big House ceiling. The ones she had made on default when using her advanced clawed gloves.
D.A soon left the Big House and ventured the camp grounds, hiding stealthily yet gracefully running in the trees. Her moves was quiet and were as if she wasn't there.
She contemplated on whether she should remove her cloak, but decided against it as her form could be revealed. The tree nymphs and dryads wasn't really quiet in their way to 'sneak a peek.'
D.A ran above the camp, running on the tree branches that were incredibly slim and yet it didn't seem to sway her.
She took careful and steady mental notes of Camp. Took a look at their training camps and such as visiting a few 'hidden' hide outs. She stopped at Thalia's Tree, effectively deciding to watch that before flying around the above grounds of Camp after dark.
Her face is unseeable behind the mask, but even more so in the dark night. She took an analyzing gaze around, mentally scanning the grounds, before she popped her black raven wings from her back and launched upwards.
In the air, she flew over Camp Half-Blood. Most campers, if not all, should be sleeping by now and D.A was free to use her wings.
In the sky, D.A flew in gentle circles above the camp grounds. She watched above as all the lights in the cabins went out, with the obvious exception of Cabin 13. With her darker darkness and night black haired ears, she heard the soft laughter and chatter of the 3 children of the underworld. With a gentle flap, she landed on the highest tree in around camp. Ironically it being Thalia's tree.
DA listened carefully while looking up at the stars, unconsciously dismissing her wings and waving her tail around softly in her cloak. She stood awake in the night, never getting tired as her pure white eyes stood wide with awareness. She soon sat down on the highest branch. Crisscrossing her legs on the branch. She was relaxed and tense, calm and hyper, sad and happy. She was like a physical form of yin and yang at the moment.
Her back was against the tree bark and she scanned the area every five or so minutes. She continued to watch over camp until sunrise broke through the night sky. The stars becoming invisible to the eyes of everyone below.
DA watched carefully and observingly as campers got out of their cabins, whispering and socializing. Some campers going on border patrol, others to training and others to breakfast before any of that happens. While doing this she slowly feel asleep once again with her silver cat mask on her face.

Percy Jackson woke up to the sound of Annabeth knocking on his door. He groaned, half awake and half asleep as he snuggled back into his bed sheets. The knocking continued with Annabeth shouting to wake up and he yelled back a quick,
"Five more minutes!" He yelled drowsily.
"Wake up Seaweed brain!" She yelled back and barged into the room when Percy didn't answer.
She looked at him and sighed. Before grabbing a glass of water from the fountain and pouring it onto Percy head. Immediately energizing him unwillingly.
Percy popped out of bed and quickly got dressed while Annabeth waited outside for the moment.
When he got out of his cabin, both of them went straight to the Dining hall. They soon got on the topic of DA.
"What if she's an imposter?" She said questioningly.
Percy shook her head, "I don't think so, Wise Girl."
She looked at him skeptically. "Why? Why can't she be an imposter or from Order? It makes sense. She's not even here, she left when our friends was revealed."
Percy looked at her as they entered the dining hall, "I saw her in my dream. She was fighting for us."
Annabeth looked at him with a raised brow. "Mind telling me the dream?" She asked as they sat at the table for the seven and Nico.
"You know how she said they sent us a failed warning?" Annabeth nodded, "well my dream showed me what she meant." They grabbed their plates and collected their food and gave a portion to the gods.
They sat back down and Percy continued, "While we were talking to Bianca and the others, a group of monsters came while the campers were also switching swifts. DA was there and literally sent them all back to Tartarus before the campers got back."
Annabeth's eyes widened at the information but wasn't able to reply anything before the Piper, Jason, and Leo sat down.
"Good morning." Jason greeted.
•~~~~~~~~~•
In piper's arms was what surprised Annabeth the most.
"Piper!" She said shocked, "what in Hades are you doing with a Cat?"
Piper had a sleeping cat in her arms, it looking about average size despite the fact it was the darkest color of black she'd ever seen. The cats face was the only thing with a different color, it was a silver color around its nose, eyes and in the inside of its ears. The small cat was sleeping as Piper gushed over it.
"I found her this morning!" She gushed, looking at the cat, "she just fell into my arms from Thalia's tree. Does mist affect animals? She must have been able to see though it if she could've walked through camp." She rambled on.
Bianca, Hazel and Nico just then sat down at the table. All smiles and grins until Nico saw the cat.
"Piper!" He hissed, his eyes widening in shock, "Put the cat down more it wakes up! You just practically kidnapped an immortal!"
Annabeth looked at him sharply. "What?!" She whispered in shock before slowly turning to Piper who looked like she was internally freaking out.
The cat just then decided to slowly wake up. Everyone at the table jumped away and stood as Piper quickly put the cat on the table and backed away and stood, latched onto Jason.
The cat slowly opened its eyes to reveal a pair golden colored eyes. She stood on her four paws before clumsily falling off the edge of the table.
"Either that's an extremely drowsy immortal, or Nico mistaken an extremely drowsy cat as an immortal." Leo snickered before Jason gave him a look to drop it.
The cat stood sharply, as if just realized it was someplace different. It took a good look at the group before it preferably jumped onto the table with a familiar grace that they can't quite place. The cat sat its but down and flash its eyes to make it glow brightly before it went back to normal.
The message was loud and clear to the group, the flash was warningly. Telling them to sit their asses down before the immortal flips shit. The group quickly sat down and looked at the cat, them all knowing it was an immortal by the way it narrowed its eyes in a slightly scolding matter.
The cat seemed to them over before turning to the scared Piper who had her hands in her lap, fiddling with her fingers and not quite looking anyone in the eye. The group inhaled sharply as the cat stood up and walked to the Tense Piper.
The cat did the least expected thing ever in the history of demigods kidnapping immortals even if it was accidental.
The cat jumped onto pipers shoulder before she climbed on top of her head and laid back down. It's head on pipers forehead as its one of its paws covered its own eyes and the other paw stretched dramatically. It peeked open an eye to see the demigods looking at her in a silent shock.
"Meow?"
The demigods just gaped the cat decided to just vanish.
"Did that immortal just do nothing?" Nico asks in the silence of the table.
"Don't question it! I do not want to get pulverized for accidentally kidnapping an immortal." She said quickly.
Annabeth narrowed her eyes toward the space above piper's head where the immortal once sat.
"That immortal was familiar. Piper, where exactly did you find the immortal?"
Piper looked at Annabeth confused before she said, "it fell from the tree on the border, Thalia's tree."
Annabeth looked to Nico and Bianca. "What it just me or..." She looked at the spot the cat just was before turning back to the Di Angelo Siblings. "Did you think that Immortal just shadow traveled? And spoke with her mouth closed?"
The siblings glanced at each other before looking at Annabeth, not really getting what she was saying. "Um...yes?"
Annabeth had a look on her face before she rubbed her temples. "Guys, that immortal we just freaked out about was probably DA." She said skeptically.
Percy looked at her confused, "how can you get all of that just by the cat shadow traveling and speaking with its mouth closed?" He looked at Nico, "how can you even know it was immortal by looking at it, it looked pretty normal to me." He said taking a bite out of his blue pancakes.
Nico and Annabeth rolled their eyes in unison before they explained it was Children of Athena or Children of Hades things.
•~~~~~~~~~•
DA jumped out of the shadows and onto the roof of the Big House. She stood in her cat form before quickly morphing back into her human-excuse me- mostly human form. She scowled beneath her mask and hood of her cloak. That incident was not on purpose by the way, she just can't control when she turns into a cat when she sleeps. It's a curse.
When she was young, in her younger immortal times, she was cursed by order. You might be wandering, why the hell would a powerful guy such as himself curse a young immortal? Well that is a story for another time.
Anyway, he cursed her in her sleep. Causing DA to turn into a cat. It was supposed to be permanent, but she was able to overcome the some of the curse. When she sleeps she turns into a cat, when she's awake she can morph back to human, but she is stuck with cat ears and a tail.
She honestly felt like a neko from one of those weird anime TV shows and books. Over time, Order was banished into the void, that being a long millenniums and probably before time era ago. Yup, DA was that old though she only looks 16 under her cloak if she admits it.
She was one of the oldest living things after the primordials and Chaos and Order. Quite shockingly, DA aged 1 year to earth in 100 years on earth. She then stopped when her physical age was 16.
DA was able to shift and morph into the black cat at will, but preferred not to. DA also had raven black wings. She can let them come and go when she wants them to and when she doesn't, it's like a tattoo on her back.
Anyway, she snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of Dionysus trying to drink wine but he keeps getting water or a can of coke. He groaned in the Big House, still frustrated and trying to find a way to drink wine.
She winced, she felt bad for the guy. That was his literal domain and he was basically banned from it. Her tail unconsciously wrapped around her left leg as she descended from the roof.
She dropped into the Big House porch, silent and not making any sound. She gracefully walked into the room where the God Dionysus sat as his table with a game in front him and a bottle of wine.
He looked up from his seat before he groaned. He rolled his eyes at the figure in front of him with the cloak and cat mask.
"What do you want?" He said snottily.
DA ignored his tone as she knew he was just cranky because of the fact he hadn't had a glass of wine for a couple decades.
"Dionysus, I have a loop hole for your...wine problems." She spoke with her mouth closed. Her pure white orbs looking straight at Mr. D.
The God had immediately scowled when hearing his name so casual but it faltered into a smug expression once he heard of what the person had said.
"You don't say?" He said quite sarcastically.
DA ignored at him as she picked up his bottle of wine and rubbed the top of it with two fingers, a golden color sparking on her fingers. She put the bottle down. And looked back at the God that was looking at her curiously.
"At the end of each 7 week, that bottle shall refill itself with wine that your heart desires. It will go on until your punishment has been lifted by...Zeus. Goodbye, Dionysus." Her mouth remained closed as she disappeared in the shadows of her cloak.
Dionysus raised a brow at this and looked at his wine bottle. He lifted it up tenderly before cautiously pouring some into a glass. He cheered when the wine did not change into something horrible and drank from the cup, grinning once he tasted the wine.
(A/N: I hope you enjoyed the update! next chapter get ready for some tears. Warning; the ship of Nico and DA is kinda slow)
