She'd dropped Brittany off at the dance studio sure whoever she had sensed following her was still following her with no interest in the blonde dancer. Her phone was already connected to her car so it was easy to call Quinn. "Did you have a good lunch?"
"We did, but that's not why I'm calling." Santana admitted "Someone's following me."
That got Quinn's attention, she was no longer kicked back in her chair, she was sitting up waiting for the rest of it and when Santana said nothing else Quinn huffed "I'll meet you at the office, do we need someone to keep an eye on Brittany?"
Gone was the nervous Santana when it came to Brittany "I had Uncle make her a bracelet like mine, I told her how it worked, her charm isn't for looks like mine, her charm will call me to her location."
"Like your necklace."
"Yes." Santana nodded even though she knew Quinn couldn't see her.
"I don't like this, hurry back." Quinn ordered.
Santana was surprised to see Ares standing next to Quinn in the lobby of her building when she arrived a few minutes later, normally she wouldn't use tricks but she did, nothing massive though only green lights on the way back to the office. "Daddy?"
Ares was surprised when she called him daddy, she never called him dad or daddy it was always Ares. "Anything you need, I'm here." he promised following her and Quinn to the elevator.
"They're following me at the moment, they're somewhere outside my building." Santana scowled.
"Outside?" Ares asked.
"We have the building warded, the apartment too." Quinn explained.
"Cameras." Quinn nodded. Hephaestus and Matt had managed to create cameras that could capture the aura of the gods and other immortals so it didn't matter that they could turn themselves invisible at will. Quinn's head snapped towards Santana and Matt's office, she knew his voice, they knew he was there.
Santana nodded, peaking in the office and knocking on the wall she smiled at the boys "Matt may I borrow you for a moment?"
"Of course." standing up Matt nodded to Puck "I'll be right back, once your finished filling out the paperwork if I'm not back fill out the medical packet."
"I'm a god." Puck said confused.
"Your brother and his mom are covered." Santana explained. "We take care of our families here."
"Thank you." Puck smiled.
Joining the group Matt followed them to the camera room, it was manned by the gods but since it was a personal issue Matt would take over. Sitting down Matt scanned the monitors while he was looking for mortals Santana and Quinn were looking for the immortals, Ares had no idea what he was looking at but he was watching his daughters for any kind of reactions. "It's like they sense I'm happy and want to fuck with me."
"We'll find them." Quinn promised resting her hand on Santana's shoulder.
"If they're mortal I don't see anyone." Matt shook his head.
"No godly auras either, maybe they followed you here and then left, Matt run through from earlier today, twenty minutes before Brittany got here to when Santana returned." Quinn gave Santana's shoulder a squeeze.
"Or maybe they know right where to stop." Santana pointed at a faint glow at the edge of the screen. "Fucking creeper."
Brittany was on the office phone with her mom immediately after Santana left "Call her off."
"Call who off dear." Whitney asked.
"You call her off now." Brittany demanded.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Whitney insisted.
Mike and Tina watched as Brittany did something they'd never thought she would ever do, scream "You call her off now! If she hurts her I will never forgive you. Do you hear me, never! I love her and she is my soul mate!" slamming the phone down. Brittany buried her face in her hands. "Damn it." Hearing a panicked scream Brittany scrambled out of her office blinking at the four armed and armored figures stood in the reception area. Mike had Tina shielded with his smaller two removed their helmets, with the ebony and golden hair spilling out Brittany knew exactly who it was. "Santana."
"Quinn?" Tina eyed the love goddess with the polished helmet tucked under her arm, Quinn looked every bit the war goddess she used to be, Brittany could understand why Santana had said the blonde looked like a Valkyrie. It was odd seeing Quinn's normally green eyes a solid pupiless black, it gave her an odd creepiness that Tina knew she wouldn't have felt if they were a simple dark brown like Santana's were.
"Are you guys okay?" Santana asked moving forward and cupping Brittany's face.
"Are you?" Brittany countered.
"I'm fine, we caught an aura on our cameras, it's an immortal..."
"It's Lyssa." Brittany interrupted. "I saw her when you dropped me off."
The two men behind Santana and Quinn removed their helmets, it was Matt and Ares "Shit." Ares frowned.
"Why do I know that name?" Matt asked.
"Lyssa, Spirit of mad rage and all that crap?" Santana asked making sure they were all on the same page.
"She's the one that was sent to Hercules." Quinn whispered.
"Drove him insane... and he killed..." Santana shook her head she couldn't finish, everyone knew what Hercules had done, he'd killed his wife and kids because Hera was petty and pissed and instead of taking it out on Zeus she took it out on his son from one of his many illicit affairs.
"Son of bitch." Matt muttered.
"Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." Ares shook his head.
"Just doing my job." a voice spoke up from behind them.
Spinning and dropping her helmet Santana pulled Brittany against her back aiming her blazing sword at the amused brunette woman standing before them all. "What do you want? Who sent you?" Santana demanded. Matt stood in front of Mike and Tina, they were his to protect.
"So the rumors are true, the bastard daughter of Ares has found not just love but her soul mate." Ares growled raising his own flaming sword at the immortal.
"Does everybody know?" Santana muttered.
"It's all over Olympus." she said keeping her hands up "Zeus himself has heard."
"Is that a threat?" Quinn growled stepping next to Ares, her helmet spinning on the floor next to Santana's she held her flaming sword at the ready, Matt took that as his cue to move Mike and Tina from the room and back into Brittany's office remaining in the room with them.
"Where one goes the other follows, I see that is true as well." Lyssa eyed the sisters dropping her hands to her sides.
"What do you want?" Santana glared.
Her blue eyes dancing with mischief Lyssa ignored her asking Brittany "So, Muse is it true, the mutt is your soul mate?"
Her hands resting on Santana's shoulders Brittany glared "She is not a mutt and if you hurt her you'll regret it."
"You don't scare me Brittany..." Lyssa chuckled, "not even this one scares me." Lyssa tapped the tip of Quinn's flaming sword quickly bringing her fingers away from the fire. "No one you can call can stand against me." Lyssa laughed seeing Brittany close her eyes.
Murmuring something Santana could barely hear, Brittany sighed in relief feeling the energy shift in the room.
Brittany heard the gasps and felt Santana's grip on her thigh tighten, opening her eyes Brittany smiled at the newest figure to grace her reception area. Clad in golden armor with a Wedjat eye on a golden chain around her neck the lion headed female held an ancient arched sistrum in one hand and a lion headed aegis in her other. She stood a head taller than Ares and was quite imposing "The Lady of Slaughter." Lyssa backed away as the lion head growled at her.
Santana blinked trying to understand what she was seeing in front of her. "Brittany?"
"Are you okay child?" the lion headed goddess husked at Brittany without taking her eyes off of the vengeful being in front of her.
"B'sst she wants to hurt my soul mate."
The lion head growled at Lyssa baring her teeth, out of fear the immortal started backing away from her "You are upsetting my child. Why are you upsetting my child?"
"Sh...she's Terpsichore's daughter." Lyssa stuttered out.
"I say she is mine and so she is." the Egyptian goddess growled once more. "And by threatening the war goddess you are upsetting my child."
"I only do what I am ordered to do." Lyssa reminded.
"And who ordered you?" when the vengeful immortal refused to answer the goddess roared grabbing her by the throat and disappearing.
"That was Bast." Quinn pointed her flaming sword to the empty spot in front of them.
"So not just Horus but his sister Ubaste too?" Santana quietly asked, Brittany nodded worried at the frown appearing on Santana's face.
"How many names does she have?" Ares asked, he knew her by her by B'sst.
"Many." the lion headed goddess answered as she reappeared. Shaking her head the lion head morphed to a friendlier cat's head before finally taking the form of a beautiful woman with black hair and dark brown eyes. "I began my life as B'sst and then Ubaste, your Greeks call me Bast and then Bastet." She curtsied to Ares "Lord Ares, I am honored to meet the father of my adopted daughter's soul mate."
Sheathing his sword Ares bowed to her, she had quite the reputation "At least one of you is happy to see me."
"Well it was not my sister you impregnanted." the Egyptian goddess reminded, Ares had to give her that. "I will not hurt you child." B'sst promised Santana. "To hurt you would hurt Brittany and that is something I will not do."
"Oh." the flames from her sword died out as she sheathed her sword, Quinn keep hers unsheathed and still flaming, she wasn't getting lulled into a false sense of security.
"It's okay guys, you can come out." Brittany called over her shoulder, Matt poked his head out of the office looking at Santana who nodded. "Guys this is B'sst, she is what the mortals would call my godmother." Brittany gestured to the slender dark haired woman in front of her.
B'sst promised "I will deal with Lyssa and your mother."
"Thank you." taking Santana's hand Brittany tugged her Latina towards the Egyptian goddess. "B'sst this is my Santana, my soul mate. Sanny this is the goddess B'sst my other mom."
"You are under my protection and that of my family, they will not harm you without fear of repercussion." B'sst spoke to Santana but included all in the room. "Lord Ares."
"Lady B'sst." he nodded before she disappeared.
