Can we all stop saying Percy is faster than Reyna OR Hylla. Literally their powers revolve around fast reflexes and battle prowess. Then add in that they had to be fast enough to defeat an entire crew of pirates. Then at in Queen Hippolyta's belt, which AT LEAST doubles Hylla speed. So if Hylla's powers make her at the lowest say, 1.5 times as as fast as Percy, the belt doubles that to three times as fast. And i think The Blood of Olympus gives several hints that Reyna and Hylla are both ADHD.

But you know what? Lets pretend for a second Reyna and Hylla are just normal teenage girls. Reyna has a cloak that can block lightning! Forget my calculations or anything like that. She can just outright block it. And remember how she blocked it? By whipping her cape. She easily could've just turned her back. This proves she;s faster than Percy. Not to mention that it took Percy to have the Curse of Achilles to catch/slice an arrow. Hylla did it WITH HER OWN SKILL.

And we know Percy disarmed Jason in MoA. And Luke(the best swordsman other than Percy) in TLT. And I just proved in several different ways that Hylla is at least three times faster than Percy. So if we do the 'math', Hylla is around three times faster than Luke, and by extention, way faster than Jason. And Thalia was (nearly)on par with Luke when they fought. So Hylla is also around at least three times faster than Thalia. but that was before she became a Hunter. SO if Huntress powers make you say, twice as fast, Hylla would still be at least 1.5 times as fast as Thalia. So Hylla can easily disarm Jason or Thalia and Luke(and Percy w/out powers). So now they have no weapons, which means they cant aim lightning-although even if they did Reyna has the cloak.

So what are the tallies?

Reyna-cloack that blocks lightning, Bellona powers, power great enough to lead a Legion

Hylla-1.5 times faster than anyone in the fight,Hippolyta's belt, Bellona powers, weapons

Jason-Disarmed, Lightning blocked one way or another, left with Aerokinesis

Thalia-Disarmed of sword and daggers, Lightning blocked, left with Arrows,Aegis,and static

So now if we match them up,

Hylla can dodge some of Thalias arrows, catch some, slice some or just charge disarmed Thalia with her sword. She's certainly can handle looking at Aegis.

Reyna could charge Jason, but she'd be blown back by his winds. She could do this maybe twice, tire  Jason out a bit

Thalia has lets say half her arrows left, and her static, And Jason his wind powers. They both probably would've shot lightning since they don't know about Reyna's cloak. So they'd be tired out from that as well.

I think we know which team has the better odds.
