Dealing with Chaos

The twins

Diana POV:

We walked side by side through the streets of Georgetown and I admit it was probably a lot more comfortable for him with me in this aspect. It no longer looked strange to see a younger girl accompanied by a late teen who was clearly unrelated by the contrasting looks even if we were technically cousins. The size difference was also much less even if he dwarfed me. As Diana I was about 6'0'' so even then I came up to just below his chin.

Finally we arrived across the street from the 'school' I had seen before. How can a place that teaches fashion of all things be a school? Only Aphrodite's children would think of something so stupid, I hoped it was not a sign of character.

'So do you know what they look like Milady?' Percy asked.

'Actually no but if the disturbance in the courtyard is anything to go by we may have a candidate.' I said noticing a commotion to the side of the entrance. 'Percy, go fly up on the roof and keep an eye on it from there while I take a look, don't make a move unless I signal you.' I ordered and watched as his wings appeared across his back before he leapt into the air with one beat. I noticed a faint distortion about him as the mist tried to conceal his form until he landed on the school's roof.

I made my way quickly across the road between me and the school before vaulting over the fence and climbing up a tree. From my vantage point I could see the figures of eight individuals. Two were on the floor surrounded by the remaining half a dozen.

The two figures on the floor were clearly our targets. It was evident from the shared looks as well as the scent I was detecting. The problem was someone else had detected the scent, which leads to the other figures who were now taking it in turns to lash out at the demigods who were coiled over in an attempt to lessen the blows.

I looked upwards to see Percy leaning over the roof like a gargoyle sword in hand the light reflecting of his face and making his eyes shine. Normally I would have just shot the monsters and problem solved but that required me to actually be in the hunt and the hunters were currently 80 miles away, fortunately my accomplice had no such limitations and was not bound by the ancient laws.

What was weir was that these monsters felt strangely more powerful than the normal ones, like they had been given a power up while regenerating in Tartarus, wich was impossible.

I noticed him looking at me waiting for the signal, so I drew my bow and notched an arrow aiming right between the furthest monsters, the ones closest to him. After I was happy with the shot I fired.

Percy POV:

I had watched the figure of Diana run across the road before gracefully leaping into her concealed spot in the tree, as such from the ground she was practically invisible from below but I could make out her slender figure just fine from above. I watched her observe the figures below that I already regarded upon arrival. But these monsters felt much more powerful than normal ones.

I activated my enhanced senses and tried to listen in to what they were saying.

"Come on, don't worry, we're only going to use you as power sources for the army!" Now that was strange, monsters never usually formed armies, except for when Kronos rallied troops to take over Olympus, I would have to talk about this to Diana later.

I noticed Diana notching an arrow and took is as the signal. The moment the arrow thudded into the pavement all the monster's eyes turned to the point it landed before they focused on the direction it came from, therefore none of them noticed me drop from the roof amongst them.

The first they knew of my arrival was when my sword ripped the head clean off of one before I threw a hunting knife at his nearest friend. My now enhanced strength allowed me to practically pulverize the monsters chest, before it collapsed into dust.
