(Continued from last issue.)
As they turned, they were faced with none other than the twin-tailed brunette form of Hestia herself.

Freya simply smiled. "Alex, be a dear, and kill this woman where she stands." She ordered NOT in the mood for this unshod midget to be bothering her now... Or really ever."

Alex smiled and manifested what looked like a silver handgun of some kind.
"'Kill me'? Wow. Is that all it takes to turn you into some sort of murderous barbarian? ...And I thought my rival would at least maintain a pretense of maturity" Hestia said, smirking. "And to think I was coming here to help you."

Freya raised her hand to stop Alex. "Help me... I have seen your idea of help many times in the past."

"Oh, please. Still going on about that? We both know you were the one who started the hostilities in the first place, not mentioning that you were both more powerful than I was on top of having access to far more resources than I did", Hestia pointed out, sighing as she folded her arms. "You kicked me while I was down. Did you really expect me to respond with gratitude and submission?"
She shook her head. "I'm not a fan of you either, I'll have you know, but I don't want you dead. Gods dying tends to mess things up bad, and I'm not about that. Plus, both Odin and Zeus would be pissed if either of us killed the other, you know that as well as I do."

"Alright. You've made your point. So what do you want with me right now?" Freya asked.

She nodded, smiling.
"...Simple. Zeus - so did Odin, I imagine - has sensed the incoming arrival in this dimension of a woman named Allya. She comes from another world, one ravaged by psychic powers and the catastrophes brought upon by their most potent users. And Allya... she was the original psychic, or an Esper, as they call them in their world. An... anomaly, of unbeleivable power. From what we know, it seems she was the point of origin for the spread of psychic powers in her world, and as such, its eventual destruction", she explained.
"Allya will come here. And you're the strongest goddess and magic user we have on Earth right now. Zeus asks of you that you either take her under your wing... or destroy her. To ensure that this world doesn't suffer the same fate as her own. He offers this in return", she said, handing her an enchanted silver diadem with a sapphire on the front. "It will protect you against some of her powers, and those of other psychics, if you wear it."

"Interesting, and how am I to know this is not some sort of trick?" She asked examining the item to see if it came with any unwanted charms.
12 stones in General Knowledge to try and look for runes or enchantments beyond what Hestia said.

"I spoke Odin's name clearly and openly, didn't I?" she asked, frowning. "Odin is a greater god. He can sense when anyone speaks his name, and he wouldn't be happy if I were to lie using it. I'm not getting smitten with divine power, am I?" she argued.
She wasn't wrong on that; whether Odin would be annoyed if Freya was lied to was another matter. Still, as far as Freya can tell, the diadem does nothing more than what she claimed.

"Very well. You may inform Zeus I will take care of this." She said. "Now Alex. Please build me a cannon so I can shoot this unshod hobbit out of it off my property."Freya ordered.

"W-What?! I help you out and this is how you treat me?" she hissed, as Alex smirked and proceeded to quickly craft a large iron cannon in mere moments.

"You needent worry. I'll make sure you survive the shot this time." Freya said empowering Hestia with enhanced durability while telekinetically stuffing her down the barrel.
9 stones in Asgardian Sorcery 8 to increase Hestia's toughness 1 into duration.
9 in Tekekinesis to load her into the cannon.

"And I thought Ares was a jerkass", she hissed, as Alex handed Freya a lit match to ignite the powder, smirking.

"Off you go." Freya said lighting the cannon.

*BOOOOOOM*
...went the cannon as Hestia was shot out waaaaay into the distance.
"...Didn't expect we'd be shooting a goddess into tomorrow with a cannon when I got up this morning", Alex said, chuckling.
