Emily was glad of the fact of when the six of them get to the train and it started to move west. Thalia, Percy and Grover had got their own car while Bianca, Emily and Zoë had got into their own car. Emily was in the passenger seat in the front while Bianca was in the back sleeping and Zoë was sing in the driver's seat. Emily was looking out of the window of the car that they were in at the moment, her lieutenant America costume was still in her bag and she still hadn't used her staff or other sword yet. But with what the oracle had told her, that Emily knows that she would need to start using them again even though she really doesn't want. Not that she couldn't use them or didn't know of how to use them, it was more of still not wanting anyone to know of who she once was. But it was clear that at some point she would have to let it go out, at the moment only three people know that she was Lieutenant America, her mother, Artemis, Hestia and Chiron.
Emily knows for about forty years, Chiron had thought she was died and when she had come back to camp with the hunters twenty eight years ago. When he had saw her among them that he was shocked and he had took her aside and ask her of what happen. Emily had told him the truth of what happen and why she had joined the hunt, Chiron didn't blame her for feeling she had a place, home and family with the hunters. But he did tell her that there was a chance she may have to take up of being Lieutenant America someday. Emily had told Chiron at might be a small chance but it seemed unlikely to happen any time soon. But she told him if such a thing might happen she wasn't sure if she would ready for it again. She hadn't be ready for the first time but she manage to fit into the role rather well, thankfully.
"Emily." Emily had looked away from the window and looked at Zoë, Zoë was looking at her with a questioning look. So far on the quest, Zoë had shot down the others when they had ask of what the oracle said to Emily. But Emily could tell that Zoë was wondering what that message had meant as well. Emily wasn't sure if she was ready to tell them or not, she knows she wasn't ready with the other four but she might be ready to tell Zoë. "I know the others had ask this on the quest and I had shot them down, for I know thee didn't want to talk about it or at least not now or any time soon. But I want to know, what did the oracle mean? Before thee answer, I understand that thee won't tell me."
"Thanks Zoë that you would understand if I didn't give you an answer. But I am going to give an answer though." Emily could tell that Zoë seem surprised that Emily was going to answer her question. "First, I must ask you not to tell anyone till I feel ready."
"You have my word as your sister."
"I am sure you heard of Lieutenant America."
"Of course Emily, everyone in the hunt knows who she is. She may have disappeared sixty eight years ago, but she was one of the biggest heroes both among the mortals and the hunters." Emily nodded when Zoë had said that after joining the hunt that Emily learned of how famous she was among the hunters. Emily was also surprised that none of the hunters had realized that she was Lieutenant America, but that was something she was glad of. For Emily needed to find her place in the world after the war had ended and without the three most important people in her life gone that it seem that she had lost her place in the world. Sure she would had felt lost after the war ended but it was worse for her than most everyone else in the war. Zoë had looked at her more carefully before she had went on. "Thee know I had heard of her. However I never mention to thee that if she had joined the hunt that I would have gladly step aside to let her become Lieutenant of Artemis. What does she have to do with the oracle? Besides the fact that it was her uncle that appeared in the image instead of Artemis when the oracle had spoke to you." Emily had lowered her head.
"There is a reason of why I am bringing Lieutenant America up." Emily raised her head and notice the look Zoë was giving her was a puzzled look. "I am bringing Lieutenant America up because I am Lieutenant America." Zoë had opened her mouth and than closed it, she looked at Emily even more carefully when Emily had said that and than Zoë had manage to find the words to say.
"On my gosh. Thee are Lieutenant America, I have no idea of I hadn't realized that thee were her Before."
"Look, I don't mind the hunters looking up to me as Lieutenant America or anything, I am glad that they have a hero to look up to. But I was glad none of the hunters realized I was Lieutenant America."
"Why is that?"
"Because, when I joined the hunt, I wanted a new life and start for my memories of the year before were painful for me. More so with recent memories. I just wanted to let it go and move on from that. But it seems like if my old life might be catching up with me after all this years. Something I am not really looking forward to." Zoë had nodded when Emily had said and they remained in silence and soon enough Emily had fell asleep.
"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" Emily was in a forest and she was running towards the one that was calling her by her old name, she was wearing her normal hunter outfit, a silver parka, blue jeans, white shirt and black hunting boots. After a minute of running that it started to snow quickly, not only that but the scene was changing. When it had totally changed that Emily had stopped and looked around her surroundings, somehow Emily was in the Antarctica and the cold was not affecting as she thought it would. Than she heard it again. "Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" Emily looked around and ran towards the one that was yelling, Emily had to figure out of who was calling out to using her old name. For he voice sounded familiar to her, but she couldn't pinpoint of where she heard the voice before but it was a male's voice though.
"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" In a few minutes, Emily had stopped in her tracks and took a sharp intake of breath. Emily had carefully step forward and placed her hand on the metal before moving her hand away. It felt cold to touch, Emily had stepped back and looked at the plane that was before her, she had seen this plane before but only once before. Honestly, after what happened sixty eight years ago, Emily had thought she would never see this plane again. It was the plane that her uncle had jumped onto after Agent Carter had kissed him, sixty eight years ago. "Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" Emily had looked around and than back at the plane and gasp when she had realized of who had be calling out her name. But it couldn't be but it yet had to be, for it couldn't be anyone else, so Emily had tried to find a way to get inside. Before she could do or try anything that the her dream had went black.
Emily had woke up suddenly and looked around to see what had happened, she had notice that it was Bianca was the one that had been shaking her up. Emily had looked over to the driver's side and notice that Zoë had left the car before Emily had woke up. Emily had thought it might have been Zoë that would have woke up instead of Bianca, but it was than that she had noticed that the train had stopped moving. Of which means that they must been at their location that would keep them going west. Provided that the train doesn't go all the way west, of which she was sure that the train didn't go all the way west. Emily had than looked over at Bianca of who looked slightly confused, Emily wondered why Bianca looked confused. Emily was about ready to say when Bianca had spoke.
"Who is Steve?" Emily had opened her mouth before closing it, the last thing she had expected was to hear that.
"What?"
"You were talking in your sleep for a few minutes, you had said Steve, please don't. Among a few other things." Emily had sighed, than she had spoke.
"He was my uncle on my father's side." Before Bianca could say anything else that Emily had got out of the car and went to where the others were waiting for Emily and Bianca.
