LEARNING TO DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE WASN'T GREAT.

Learning to drive a motorcycle in New York with two other people on the back was even harder. 

She was lucky that everyone and everything had stopped moving or else she definitely would have committed vehicular manslaughter. But nonetheless they got to the Queensboro bridge in record time, and Arya learned that she really liked motorcycles.

Her and the Son of Apollo, and Son of Dionysus got off the back of the motorcycle and ran to the bridge. The moon was well in the sky, and the stars were out for all to see. Arya located her favorite constellation in the sky, which seemed to be burning brighter than any of the others.

"Zoe, I know you're probably using all of your efforts to help your sisters out right now, but if you have anything left. We could really use it."

The three of them could hear the army coming, they couldn't say how many, but Arya imagined it was a whole lot more than three kids could deal with.
  
"You got a plan?" Pollux asked her, putting on his helmet and unsheathing his sword. Will was already getting to his highest vantage point in order to shoot.

Arya nodded her head and called for the boys to cover her. 

She ran forward and jumped onto the edge of the bridge overlooking the River, she was going to try and do what she did earlier, and flood them out.

"Will! save your arrows! Pollux stay behind me!'

They waited in silence, anxiety levels at a new high.
   
Then out of nowhere they came. Hoards of hellhounds, telekines, impousa, and regular giants, and one Hyperborean giant were tearing their way across the bridge, hungry for the taste of demigod.
   
Arya watched and waited, letting them run directly at the lone heroes standing on the bridge. 200 feet away, then 100 feet away.

"Arya!" Will called from his place on the suspension cable.

"Hold!"    
   
75 feet away. 50 feet away.
   
Arya widened her stance on the edge and took a deep breath, then moved her arms in a slow motions starting out to the side about shoulder height, she brought them up over her head, she could feel the water getting larger and larger behind her. Then in one fell swoop she pushed her arms down and forwards, sending the wave at an incredibly fast pace down the bridge, sweeping every monster away with it. Some of them getting knocked into the water, some of them getting pushed rather far back into the forest.
   
She felt herself start to sway on her feet, so she jumped down from the edge, as soon as she did, she felt the ground shake and she turned over her shoulder to see that her Hyperborean giant was still there.
   
"The three of us got this." Arya said looking at it, but then the forest started rumbling again, another wave of monsters was coming.
   
"Got another flood in you?" Will called.
