Emily stood outside the gates of the stark mansion in New York, she was unsure of how many times she stood at this gates in the last thirty years. Howard was one of the few people that she kept her eyes on after the war ended and she become an immortal. For he was one of her old friends from the war that she knows where and what he was doing. Even though Emily, Hades and Hecate pulled the fake death off very well, Howard was one of the few people that still believe she was alive. That he had been searching for her and her brother for the last thirty years, but she knows that he has been having some problems with his son, Tony, of who was five. Not too long ago that Howard sent out an ad for a nanny, even though Emily has things to do that she asked her father if she could add this her list of things to do to help raise Tony. Her father was hesitated at first, but after a while agreed but only if she would still come down for a few days on 'vacation' to do underworld princess stuff or even do something else depending the time of the year.
It was June, so if someone wanted her it would most likely her father, instead of Hestia and it might be SHIELD. In the last week that Hecate managed to make the nannies that applied think that they were rejected even though Howard hasn't on who should be the Nanny. Emily looked up to the balcony of where she could see Howard looking out at her, he knows that she was coming or Rachel Blackthrone was coming for an interview. Emily was allowed in after the guard checked with Howard, Emily crossed the grounds towards the mansion, all too well aware that Howard was watching her. The butler, Jarvis, showed her to Howard's office, as soon as she entered that Jarvis left the office. Howard was still on the balcony but he was leaning against the railing looking into his office at her. Emily figures that she seems like a puzzle to Howard, for she was wearing black pants, a black shirt, black combat and a brown leather jacket that seem to stood out in this mansion. Her bracelets and poppy were under her jacket sleeves and her silver necklace with the skull was under her shirt with her wedding rings on the necklace.
She wasn't going to wear one of her underworld princess dresses up for the dresses were far to formal for an interview. After a minute that Howard walked into the office, Emily didn't move or sit down, Howard stood behind his desk. It was awkward, for Howard changed over the years, for it was clear that being a CEO has took it's toll on Howard. His hair was lighter in color and he looked slightly pale compare to how he was younger. There were also other signs of age catching up with Howard, she could see that there some gray areas in his hair. As Howard looked at her that Emily was getting the feeling that Howard felt that he should know from somewhere. That he was trying to figure it out, Emily knows that her build was about the same and she as still at the same height as Howard last saw her as well as the same age. But he doesn't know that, as well as not knowing for sure that she was alive. Than Howard spoke.
"Rachel Blackthrone?"
"Yes." Howard gestured to her clothes.
"I have to admit that I didn't expect you to wear what you are wearing."
"Well I have gone something a little more formal but my dresses are too formal for an interview. This is as close as I could get with being formal but not too formal. Besides it's not like I am going to be formal all the time with being a Nanny."
"Fair enough, please sit down." Emily sat down and looked at Howard once she sat down. Howard gestured to the file to on his desk. "I looked through your family, you brought up that one thing you liked to do and have down is to travel."
"Yes, I been on the road for most of my life."
"Why?" Emily shrugged.
"It's just what I am used to." After that, that Howard asked her a bunch of questions, by the end of it that he decided to hire her. Emily told him that she only needed a few things from her place and hat could move in the next day. As Emily left the office that she could sense Howard was watching her, trying to figure her out.
Howard's pov
He stood on the balcony looking at the young woman in front of the gates looking up at him. She was rather pretty but that is made him stare at her, it was her looks and the way she was holding herself that made him stare at her. Build wise she looked more like a warrior like Lauren and Emily, her hair was black as night. Even from her hat he could tell her eyes were dark, her hair was up in a ponytail held back but a strip of black cloth. The way she held herself was like a princess or a warrior but yet there was something familiar about it, he couldn't place it. When Jarvis let her bad brought her up to his office that he remained at the balcony looking at her. Now at she was closer that he could see a gleam of madness or genius in her eyes, the odd thing was that here was a hint of a jokester in her eyes as well as kindness, caring, loving among other things. Included sadness, almost to the point of being totally broken almost like she was close of giving up hope but something held her together, like some sort of knowledge she only knows.
The sadness in the woman's eyes reminded Howard a lot of how Colonel Phillips in the war and what Emily was like after Steve crashed and Bucky fell off of the train. He wasn't of what this woman was like or anything expect of what was given to him for the interview. He left the balcony and spoke with her, as he they spoke that Howard was getting more puzzled by this woman. For she reminded him strongly of Emily but with a difference appearance, after leaving and agreeing to start tomorrow that he watched her go with Jarvis standing at the door. Rachel wasn't a common name, in a way it fits the woman but yet in a way it didn't fit her, Howard tried to find Emily and Steve. Most people think that they are both dead, yes he went to their funeral, but he swears he thought he saw Emily among the people there at the funeral and alive no less. But he has no proof of that, but he was sure they were out here somewhere, he wondered if Rachel knows Emily. Than Jarvis spoke.
"Sir, I seen that look before. Tell me is she a friend of yours?" Howard shook his head.
"No. But I think ... I think she might be a daughter of an old friend. But I am not sure on it."
"Who?" Howard picked up the papers that he has on Rachel Blackthrone, her birthday was July Fourth but there was no year. Rachel looked about twenty two maybe twenty three, there was always a chance that she may look younger than she looks. But than again he was unsure about that, he hopes that he would have the time to figure it out before Tony runs her off of the grounds.
"I am not sure." Howard looked over at Jarvis. "But I am just guessing of who her mother might be. Honestly, I hope that I am right in thinking that. For if I am right, than it means that she isn't dead." Howard looked at Jarvis. "But don't worry about, but just make sure you keep your eye on Tony for one more night till Rachel comes back tomorrow with her things."
Jarvis nodded and left the office, Howard looked down at the papers he held in his hands, he didn't doubt Rachel of what she has been doing or where she traveled. That she encountered different things and even stay with families that have younger children. That was in the papers he got from Rachel, even though Rachel reminded him strongly of Emily that he got the sense that Rachel was good with children. She seem so calm, more so after telling her of some of the things Tony did to the other nannies or the things he built. It was like she expected it and wasn't surprised by what Tony could do at the age of five. Howard walked out of his office and went onto the balcony and watched as Rachel left through the gates to get ready to come back the next day. Just as she reached the gates that Rachel turned and looked up at him, Howard spoke more to himself.
"Who are you really?"
