I think Hera is trying to bring them together, but some of them need more of a push. I mean Jason and Percy need to bring the camps together, but Hera didnt need them until the time is right (she told Percy something along these lines about the timing). Gaea appeared to Leo when he was young so maybe Hera was trying to protect him. If she didnt appear to Frank when she did, his stick would have burned up. If she knew Hazel would come back, maybe she thought the Underworld was the safest place
