Mathias turned away from Hunter, fists tight as he growled out. "I don't remember my life being any of your business to talk about, Hunter." He growled in warning.

Hunter looked at him. "Get over it. I can talk about whatever I want." He growled at him.

Nat turned around to glare at Mathias, a little offended by him talking about her in a third person. "You guys should stop arguing now before it goes to far,"she told them in a warning tone.

Mathias merely grumbled, not continuing on. The last thing he needed was to reach over Echo to punch the teeth out of Hunter's jaw. He scoffed at Nat. "Tell your boyfriend to back off."

Nat sighed, knowing that Mathias was partly right, since Hunter brought up stuff about him first. She gave him an apologetic look and mouthed "thank you"when he stopped arguing back.

Hunter went along. He was mad at him. He never liked Mathias.

Nat glanced back at the boys for a moment before shaking her head lightly and looking back to the front. Boys and testosterone. Always trying to prove who's alpha. She thought, turning to look at the map. She glanced up then, realizing that they were heading into another town soon, her old hometown."well look at that"she mumbled softly to herself staring out the window.

Mathias glanced out, looking at Nat then looking outside. "Does this...town hold an importance to you? It's not my place, I know, but my curiousity compels me to ask." Mathias asked. This town looked like a few in South Africa.

"No it's fine,"Nat told Mathias gently. "It's my hometown. I grew up here,"she explained to him, a fond smile on her face as memories starting entering her mind. "My mom lives here."Nat glanced back at him.

"Really?" Hunter looked at her. "We should go see her."

"Oh. Then yes. It's important to you." Mathias nodded. He hummed. "It's always a burden to always know you have a mother back home yet you can't visit them...Your town is nice. Not as...homely, as Egypt...but nice nonetheless.

Josh lightly whacked his little bother-no he meant brother-'s head. "No, it doesn't not, Jace. Now c'mon, we got us some firin' to do." He emphasized the word firing Jace put his hands up in surrender. "Ok. Ok. Let's go!" He ran towards the archery range, making sure his bow was pointed down.

Nat's eyes lit up at the mention of visiting her. "That would be great...I miss her so much, all the time"she told them looking back out the window. It wasn't a huge town but it wasn't small either. Just a nice size, with a quaint downtown shopping plaza and nice houses. There was a good amount of greenery seeing as it was in the more countryside. She leaned up against the window as she saw the sign. "Welcome to Greenborough"

Mathias hated to be the bearer of bad news, but he had to say this. "Are...are you sure all of us going to visit is a good idea?...It...may endanger her, if any of us stay in one area..." He reminded quietly.

Hunter looked at him. "Just Nat can go, really quickly." He spoke. He knew if he had the opportunity to see his mom he'd take it no questions asked.

"It just...it just worries me. And that's strange, since I do not worry much...didn't some part of this quest mention us losing someone?..." Mathias sighed lightly. He'd have loved to go back and see his mother, but the fear of bringing danger to her was strong. Ares had many enemies, and no doubt they loved to target his children any chance they could.

In a single moment Nat's smile dropped, pretty much disappearing somewhere into the ground. She hadn't even considered it, so excited from the prospect of seeing her mom after a couple years. "I...I didn't think of that"she said softly. She frowned down at her hands feeling conflicted. It was true, that it could be dangerous, but at the same time, she'd have the protective of four powerful demigods. And herself although she didn't consider herself any special. And her mother would be more than a little broken-hearted if she found out Nat came through town and didn't visit or even let her meet some of her friends from camp.

Mathias shifted, but merely blinked. "Do as you like." He gave in. "But don't expect us to stand guard like dogs." He huffed, just wanting to get this quest over with, but sympathizing with Nat's situation.

"I wouldn't let anything touch her. Even if I have to die to protect her. But...I have to see her. It would break her heart if we didn't stop"Nat told them.

"Then let's go." Mathias nodded. He bared a grin. "If a monster comes maybe I'll finally be able to cause some real carnage."

Nats lips twitched at the corners a little in a smile as Mathias said that. She nodded at Nef telling her the directions as they actually entered town. It had been years but yet everything was still fresh in her mind.

After about a 10 minute drive, they pulled up in front of a cute navy blue and white house. It had a front porch covered by an awning, two patio chair and a little table sitting there, along with potted plants. Nat sucked in a deep breath,"looks just like I remember it"she breathed, reaching to open the door and climb out. She was more than a little nervous, wondering what how her mom would react when she saw her.

Mathias tapped his foot with tense readiness, hand instinctively on his sword as he kept a war-trained eye out for any dangers.

Nat sucked in a deep breath before knocking on the front door. Within half a minute, a woman came to the door, looking fairly similar to Nat except older. "Hi ma.."Nat said lightly as the door opened. Her mom stared at her for a moment, at first in confusion and then a bright smile lit her face. "Natty? Oh my goodness my little girl!"Arizona breathed, wide eyed as she threw hers arms tightly around her daughter pulling her in tightly.
Nat laughed softly hugging her back, her own soft brown eyes looking bright.
"Baby, what are you doing here?"Arizona asked her softly in confusion as she tucked Nats hair behind her ears.
Nat gave her a small smile. "I was passing through town with some friends. So I came to see you,"she explained gently,"one of our friends got taken by....something. But we're on a quest to bring her back...I had to come see you since we were in town"Nat breathed softly, tears suddenly coming to her eyes. She sniffed softly unable to believe that she was actually here.
"Oh Sweety, look at you all grown up, you're so beautiful, you know? Why are you crying,"Arizona said gently reached both hands to cup her daughter's face and wipe the tears from her eyes.
Nat sniffed,"I just can't believe I'm here. I've missed you so much."Nat swallowed reaching out to huger her mother again.
Arizona hugged her tightly, glancing up to see the car parked in front of the house. It looked to be about four others in the car, all looking like teenagers. She waved to them realizing they must be her friends.
