Chapter 9: Reyna is Scary

Bonus: Do you like me title, frens?

Reyna's POV:

Thank you, Bonus, for the title.

Anyway, I arrived in New Rome and instantly summoned the Senate to a session, regardless of what they had been doing previously.

"Lady Reyna," Some of the more respectable senators said and bowed.

"I'm scared to ask, but this is an unusual visit, Reyna," Frank said, and I could tell he was barely able to get that out as the senators who did not speak, and, frankly, I do not like them as they were also shaking in fear or terror.

"Lady Reyna, this is," Terminus appeared before beginning to go on about my weapons, most probably.

"I. Do. Not. Care. Terminus," I spoke, punctuating every word.

"Duly noted," he eeked out, teleporting away back to the border.

"Now, Senate, we have a new enemy of top priority to capture and bring to justice," I said, teleporting a file into the hands of each senator. "I've adopted one of the two children formally in these criminals' care. Given how our King, my Husband, has been going around bringing justice to those of similar criminal charges, you are hereby ordered to capture them and bring them back here to face Roman Justice. Contact everyone in good standing. The reward for their capture will be great. As for the other child formally in their care, find out what you can from the parents, as we do not have leads to the child's whereabouts as of yet. Now go," I ordered, dismissing the senate, causing all but Frank and Hazel to scamper off to find these...criminals. It is an insult to criminals to call them criminals here, honestly, and they definitely aren't people, but they have committed criminal acts, so sorry, other criminals.

"Lady Reyna," Hazel asked, sounding both scared and respectful at the same time.

"Yes, Hazel."

"Are you sure about sending off the entire legion and using all of our resources to find these people and bring them back here for...justice?" Hazel asked.

"It is time we step out of the shadows and rejoin the civilized world, Praetors. We have hidden ourselves long enough, and my husband has already shown the existence of higher beings to the Mortals. Prepare the legion and people for our public debut after over millennia of hiding. Tell our people in high government positions to be prepared for espionage of those who would stand against us." I ordered. "Now join the rest of the legion and find these criminals." I finished and dissolved into mist, heading to Seattle.

Time Skip: I'm not necessarily here, but Line Break had his tongue removed for talking on the job when he was banned...Poor line break.

I arrived outside the Amazon building where I knew my sister to be.

I wasn't ready for this meeting, but hopefully, she'll accept it for Satine's sake. Otherwise, I do not know if I'd be able to protect her from my husband for refusing to aid in the deliverance of justice.

"Re...Rey...Reyna, what are you doing here," Kenzie stuttered as I walked through the door. I may be a goddess now, but I still have some manners, unlike other gods who don't realize doors are a thing.

"I'm here to meet my sister, Kenzie...on a family matter," I answered, passing her and heading down to their base of operations.

Kinzie thankfully stayed back as I made my way to my sister unopposed.

"Reyna," Hylla said as I entered her makeshift throne room.

"Hylla," I replied curtly. 

"What brings you here?" She asked

"I've adopted a child...I'm certain your intelligence operatives have kept you well informed. However, the child's former parents...let us say they were abusive, to say the least; help me find them and their other elder child, please."

"and why should I help you," she replied curtly.

"Because if you don't, I'll tell my husband of your refusal to aid in the finding of those who are against his domains, and I am more than certain your informants have already informed you of what he does to those who perpetrate crimes against his charges," I answered. 

Hylla looked at me like she couldn't believe I'd do that. "Plus, the hunt already backs this child and assists in the search for these criminals. Refusing to do so...well, maybe Hera cares enough about her charges to come and intervene, but I doubt she'd do anything to actually stop Percy from having retribution."

Hylla looked at me, defeated, knowing that Hera hadn't visited the Amazons in multiple years and coming to be multiple lifetimes now. "If what I hear from my informants is true, which I have no reason not to believe is the case, that is the only reason I am helping you with this, Reyna. You're married to someone more sadistic than our father."

"Perhaps you are right about that, but at least he has better morals and hasn't gone insane like Father had," I replied curtly, taking my leave. 

Bonus: Joined by their brothers, a few against the fateful horde, Hellenic hearts are set afl.....AAHHHHHH FRENS...Where's Reyna?

"So Reyna, what's your plan for justice?" Thalia asked me, as Percy was out searching for them and taking care of others who had harmed his charges.

"Crucifixion," I replied simply...it may be an old practice, but it is a painful one, assuming they last to die of thirst or starvation.

"Really...." Thalia stated. "Where are you gonna display them then since the road to Rome might not be an option."

"I was thinking on the grounds of the capitol building with 'Sic Semper Malevola Parentes' hanging from their necks."

"Thus always to Malevolent Parents?"

"Yes," I replied. "It would be a statement as well having them be crucified at the Capitol Building. It will demonstrate the ability of the legion as well as our Husband to have them crucified there."

"and they say I'm the sadistic one of the three of us."

"They brought harm to our child, and I will make a demonstration of it to ensure no one would be stupid enough to do so again," I replied.

"Wanna check on Annie and Satine and totally not get in trouble for this plan with Annie," Thalia asked.

"You mention this to her, and I won't be satisfying your absurd 'needs' any longer," I replied, putting air quotes around needs so she knew I was referring to her sexual needs.
