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 extension, 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-cloak 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. Okay. You are seriously underestimating Jason's wind powers. Porphyrion lashed out wildly with his spear, but Jason cut it in half with his gladius. He charged in, jabbing his sword through the giant's golden breastplate, then summoned the winds and blasted Porphyrion off the edge of the cliff. If the bolt was able to blast a forty foot tall giant off a cliff, it definitely can handle Reyna/Hylla. Also, Jason can summon two lightning bolts in BOO and was not really tired. And why would both Jason and Thalia aim at Reyna? One would attack Hylla while the other one attacks Reyna. The belt doubles Hylla's strength, not speed and Percy didn't have the curse of Achilles when he cut arrows out of the air. “Get in!” I yelled. I uncapped Riptide and slashed the first volley of arrows out of the air. That was from the sea of monsters when Percy didn't have the curse at all. Also, how is Hylla three times faster than Percy? We know that Percy has a quicker reaction time because he is much more ADHD than Hylla so I want to know why Hylla is three times faster than Percy lol. Defeating an entire crew of pirates isn't much compared to Jason, Annabeth and Piper defeating two hundred ghosts without much difficulty or Percy defeating an entire legion of ghosts that couldn't die by himself. As many mentioned before, lightning is insanely fast and is way faster than an arrow moving at 220,000 miles per hour. Reyna and Hylla cannot possibly react to something moving at that speed. And Reyna was actually surprised when Hylla caught Orion's arrow. A normal arrow sails at 200 miles per hour so considering Orion's arrows involve moonlight, it should move at about 2000 to 4000 miles per hour. The cloak never blocked lightning either so we don't even know if it can. Even if it can, the lightning's force will still be enough to knock Reyna off her feet. Also, the time that Reyna disarmed Thalia was when she was dazed and wasn't ready. Also, this fight has to start apart so before Team ramirez gets close, they will get killed or pushed extremely far back by the wind.
