Astrid gripped the sword. She circled her trainer/opponent. Camp Jupiter wanted to know how much she knew. And what they had teach her. Andy stood from the sidelines taunting her with the shield.

Just like every day for the past three days.

Astrid noticed a slight weakness in the trainers left foot. She jumped to the left. He couldn't quite catch up and stumbled a little. A few fauns were making bets on who would win. The trainer slashed out with his fencing sword. Astrid preferred broadswords and kiopeshes. She blocked and twisted her sword catching his. It pulled out of his hand and slid across the ground. She pointed her sword at his throat.

"Good job. That was the last of your testing. Your definitely a child of Mars." He pointed at her fake Mars SPQR tattoo. It was just a figure of the mist. She was going to get her second line on her real one soon. It seemed weird to think about being a known demigod for two years soon.

"Thank you." Astrid said and turned to leave. She jumped up on the fence and over. as she hit the ground she rolled her ankle. She landed with a loud thud. She got up as Andy and his lankies burst out laughing. Natasha and Andrea walked over.

Natasha stumbled more than walked in those ridiculous heels.

"Come on. They're idiots. Ignore them." Andrea said glaring at them with her near black eyes.

"I know. That's why I'm getting my shield back." Astrid went to walk over and was stopped by Natasha grabbing her arm.

"Wait. We have a few more days here." Natasha said.

That's what you said a few days ago.

Astrid growled and followed.

"It's a bad day for them to get on my nerves." Astrid hissed through her teeth.

Natasha nodded. "I can tell. You took painkillers right?" Astrid gave her a look.

"You better get that shield back. It's driving me nuts how smug it is." Andrea said.

She called him an it. Astrid giggled to herself. They walked into a Starbucks. The guy behind the counter making the coffee had four arms.

A friendly monster.

She ordered a grande Chai tea latte. And a lemon loaf. She put in a drachma as a tip. Then paid in normal cash since they didn't have anything else. Andrea and Natasha ordered. Unicorns neighed outside. They sat down with their food. Natasha spread out some papers. Some were drawings of things she wanted to make. Others were drawings of clothes.

"What's with the clothes?" Astrid asked and picked up a sheet. Natasha went red and tried to hide them.

"These are really cute. Hobby?" Andrea asked.

"I've always had a slight interest in fashion, but I'm build for machines." Natasha said. Astrid looked through. She was good at drawing them.

"I bet you could make them." Astrid handed her the paper back. Natasha smiled a little and pulled out a paper with wrighting on it.

"Yah. You made some of the most difficult thing with screwdrivers and screws. You could make clothes no problem." Andrea said. Natasha slid the paper to the middle of the table. Astrid took a sip of her drink and burnt her tongue . She wrinkled her nose and put the drink down.

"Here's the plan of action. We stay in Camp Jupiter for a bit, so till the end of the week. Then we go to the Brooklyn House. There, there will be more things to do. And it's there we start worming in information on the Norse-" Natasha stopped as a scooter came up. Smoke billowed out of the engine. The guy got off and took off his helmet. He had blonde hair and pale skin. Small hints of whiskers covered the lower half of his face. He looked maybe sixteen. Natasha's eyes widened and she got up and ran outside kicking off the heels. Astrid looked at Andrea.

"You guys don't understand the word undercover do you?" She asked.

"It's gonna blow!" Natasha yowled. Astrid and Andrea got up quickly. Astrid put the papers in the bag and grabbed the food. They went outside where the scooters engine was open. Natasha held a slab of metal and she was cutting a wire.

"Turn it off!" She yelled. The guy was trying to. Natasha tried cutting the wire. The slab of metal wasn't sharp enough. Astrid pulled a knife out of the drift. She passed it to Natasha quickly. Natasha slashed through the wire. The scooter powered off. The groaning slowed down. And the smoke stopped.

"It was planted." Natasha said. "That wasn't engine failure. Somebody did that." The guy frowned.

"I got mad at Andy." He said. Astrid hissed.

"He took my shield. I'll help you kick his butt." Astrid nodded. Andrea gave her a look. Suddenly the engine ticked.

"Duck and cover!" Andrea yelled. They had just turned and crouched, covering their head when the engine blew up and erupted into flames.

"I just got that." He grimaced. They looked at the engine of flames.

"Now you can get a cooler ride." Andrea said.

"I got that for my birthday." He said and sighed.
