The thing is, the Romans didn't/do not know that Nico was Greek. He has (apparently) been visiting CJ for a while now. If they would have known his true identity, he would have probably been killed. I mean, Nico was sort of a Greek spy after all. Anyway, Hera is a wicked goddess, I don't think she ever truly meant the Greeks and the Romans to be one family, or even learn to coexist. She probably just wants to save herself and the other gods, as she knows that the Giants can't be destroyed uniquely by them. Hera's family are the Olympians, she has never favored a single demigod, apart from Jason. I believe the Mist will be manipulated after the war is over (assuming they live), because the Romans will eventually discover the bad blood that has existed between the two camps. I also think it would have been possible to have Jason at Camp Half-Blood. They have had Greek demigods at Camp Jupiter after all (who eventually leave over time, but that's not my point). They also had a bunch of unclaimed demigods at CHB for years. Some of them could have easily been Roman. Yes, it would be illogical from Thalia to leave the hunters after only two years of service, but people make irrational decisions when it comes to people they love/need (does Thalia love Jason? lol)
