Nat fought to control her expression. She was compromising so much information… "Yes."

"Woah! Cool! I'm guessing because of your mom." Eliza looks back at the sky then to the forests

"Pretty much," Nat replied. Both.
Artemis came to the end of the passage, and hid behind a carved pillar. Beyond, she saw men and women in tactical uniforms looting the artifact room, carelessly tossing the priceless magical items around and into large bags.
“They must not know the items’ true value, or else they wouldn’t be so cavalier with them,” she muttered. Turning around, she noticed Kerenza behind her. “Hello there, fellow Avenger,” she whispered. “Forgive me for not remembering your name. Are you here to assist in getting rid of these… hooligans?”
Kiania peeked around into the room, her grin still in place, but a sharp and surveying look in her eyes as she cycled through plans at a record speed. She had no problem putting herself in danger, but the artifacts and the others were a different story.
Eliza plops down on the ground, fiddling with some grass in front of her, "Oh. And What's this… Sanctum? You where talking about?"

"It's usually guarded by the Sorcerers that live there. But apparently, it's been breached," Nat explained tersely. She was most likely going to be tense until the quinjet arrived.
Eliza nods, pauses, then jumps, "Wizards?! Really?! Woah!" Her eyes where shining by now. She has only heard stories of all this

Nat smirked. The girl's cluelessness was kind of funny. "You didn't know?"
"All I heard where stories." She says simply.
Artemis noticed Kiania's calculating stare and immediately shook her head. She had seen that expression often enough on her father's face to know that she couldn't let Kiania go through with whatever plan she was cooking up. She grabbed Kiania's arm. "I appreciate your support in following me into the Sanctum, I truly do. But I can't let you put yourself in danger for the artifacts. It's my duty to protect this room, and I failed."
Kiania blinked, looking to Artemis as her arm tensed under the touch before relaxing. "Babe, I'm already here. You'd have to straight up kick me out to get rid of me." She said quietly, her smile lopsided. "And I'm no stranger to being in danger, I'm just not used to a team. Let me help, please."

"All I heard where stories." She says simply.
Nat shrugged. "Makes sense." Suddenly, a quinjet appeared above them, it's cloaking devices deactivating. Nat smirked. "There it is."
"Woah!!!" Eliza jumps to her feet and quickly backing away as the jet lands in front of them

Nat laughed. The doors opened after a second to reveal Maria Hill, observing Eliza curiously and nodded at Nat. "Are you ready?"
"Yes, Mom," Nat replied. She looked over at Eliza. "C'mon."
"Uh? Me?" She leaps to her feet quickly and jogs to the jet, passing Maria without a word.
Artemis blushed furiously, but kept her eyes focused on the intruders. “Ok,” she managed. “Thank you. So, what is our plan of attack?”
"Question is, do we want to go in guns blazing, my favorite, or do we want a distraction." Kiania said, pulling her hair up and out of the way before tying her jacket around her waist.
“I’m not very good at strong physical attacks, but if I can waltz out there and act like I have the same abilities as my father, they may just flee, hopefully without the artifacts. If they aren’t convinced… well, I’m most certainly going to need your help,” Artemis said. She began to slowly hover off of the ground, and her jewelry glowed and flickered ominously, sending flashes of colored light across her face. “Do I look the part of a supremely powerful sorceress?”
Kiania's eyes lit up as she watched Artemis, nodding. "You do, holy shit. Tell me what you need me to do, and I've got your back."
“Thank you for trusting me,” Artemis said quietly. With that, she spun around, and floated out towards the intruders. “Invaders are not tolerated in the Sanctum,” her voice boomed, unnaturally loud. “Surrender what you stole and flee, foul thieves, or else you will suffer my wrath.”

"Uh? Me?" She leaps to her feet quickly and jogs to the jet, passing Maria without a word.
(Just so everyone knows, I'm tweaking Nat's backstory just a bit!)
Maria arched her eyebrows curiously at her daughter.
"A friend," Nat replied smoothly. "Mom, this is Eliza Parker."
Kiania turned to watch from out of view, an eyebrow raised in amusement at the shock on the faces of the intruders. This would be fun.
Eliza turns back quickly, nodding and waving slightly to Maria with an awkward smile

"Parker? You're Peter's daughter?" Maria asked, shutting the door and making her way to the cockpit.
Eliza shrugs, "Many people are surprised. But yeah. I am.." she sits back in a foldable chair at the side of the jet. She had to mess with the seatbelts for a while before just giving up completely and just shooting a web to her waist
The intruders dropped their bags and slowly backed away, and Artemis felt extraordinarily powerful for the first time in years. Of course, this is when her cloak decided to fall asleep and she collapsed to the floor in a heap, the power sputtering out from her jewelry.

Nat looked amused and clicked her own seatbelt into place smoothly.
Maria sat in the cockpit and clicked a couple controls. "Ready?"
"Yes," Nat replied.
They rose steadily into the air. Maria activated the camouflage panels on the bottom of the quinjet and took off.
Well, shit. Kiania was out without hesitation, spinning her knife as she grinned, a wicked expression. "Well well well. Artemis, does this mean I'm allowed to have some fun now?"
Eliza jumps slightly but not enough to be noticed, looking around quickly and clutching her seat, "So uh… New York Sanctum? Or…"
