Medusa’s plan was a good one. The gods were on board, even Athena. My half-sister was a good person. I was glad she was coming through for Medusa because that was the one thing we always disagreed on. Medusa was still mad. She probably would be for a while, but I had a feeling she would forgive her.

Athena didn’t play favorites. She used her math to pick her heroes and if she did have a favorite among them, she never would have told anyone. Athena wouldn’t have lied about it, either. If she was openly admitting Medusa was her favorite, then she meant it.

It would have been weird for all the girls to go out and leave Athena, but no one was going to invite her because of Medusa. But Medusa was who she was.

“You should come. It’ll give us a chance to reconnect and maybe put all this behind us.”

I knew my half-sister. She always said she was a loner, but she liked her heroes and priestesses. She just didn’t know how to ask to hang out. She probably got why she wouldn’t have been invited, but she really wanted to go. I hoped they resumed their bond before Poseidon ruined it.

But for now, my girl needed her night out. Most of her girlfriends didn’t have access to their wardrobes because of the Coalition, so Persephone and I were dressing everyone. We let them tell us what they wanted and conjured their outfits.

And Medusa! She’d gotten some of her confidence back now that she could turn her snakes and gaze off as well as her new fury powers. It was sexy as fuck.

Kat and Calamity wanted black-leather outfits. So did the furies. Jezebel wanted a hot little red number that matched her hair. Persephone was in her signature pink. But Medusa? She was a green witch first, so I went for cottage core, has a hex jar in her bag for emergencies vibe.

I’d known her thousands of years and she’d never looked lovelier.

I watched them go and then turned to the rest of my co-mates.

“So, I’m a little on edge since she’s already been taken once. Are we really going to let her go on her own?”

“Kat will eat us if she sees us,” Pax said.

“She already beat my ass once this week,” Benji said. “She’s strong as fuck.”

“Not to mention my wife if you ruin her fun. You should be much more afraid of Persephone.”

“No shit,” Cas said. “She erased literally every trace of New Eden Asylum.”

“You should probably fear all of them. They are much stronger than you,” Hephaestus said.

My half-brother was the strong, silent type. He only spoke when he had something to say. Hephaestus was more of a loner than Athena was. He could really take people or leave them. Which is why it was such a shocker that he bonded with Medusa the way he had.

And he wasn’t wrong. That group was the definition of strong, powerful women.

“She needs to learn and she can’t do that if we’re chasing people off,” Cas pointed out.
