Sometimes I forget that Themis is a god. She was my foster parent for a few years, but I barely remember that time. She protected me and my sister when we were in trouble, when we needed her most.
“Why would the god of fairness and justice and all that bull open a portal to Tartarus?” Shauna asks as she jumps out of the van.
“I’m going to ask her,” Tina says, baring her fangs. “And I won’t ask nicely.”
“Hey Tina,” I call to her, “Don’t forget Vee.”
Tina insisted on making a pitstop on the way to MOA so she could pick up her beloved pet, her Venus flytrap, Vee. She said that Vee was missing Val just as much as her and would want to be there for his return. Vee’s had a growth spurt since I last saw her; we had to toss out some of the cleaning supplies so we could fit her in the back.
