When Tony left that Emily, Arabella and Steve went to visit and talk to Natasha, Emily wasn't surprise to find Natasha in the room of where Clint was. Emily was sure that Clint was in the bathroom at the moment, otherwise it would have been known if Clint wasn't in the room. Arabella, Emily and Steve stood at the doorway and all three of them looked at her before Steve spoke.

"Time to go."

"Go where?"

"I'll tell you on the way. Can you fly one of those jets?" Than Clint walks in, Steve looked surprised when Clint walks in.

"I can." Steve looked at Natasha and she nods her head to confirm Clint was on their side, than Steve looked back at Clint.

"You got a suit?"

"Yeah."

"Then suit up." Emily was back in her Lieutenant USA uniform while Steve was in his Captain America uniform with the mask up, Emily has an ear piece in her ear. Her staff was was on her back, for a few moments her Greek armor was before before she changed it back to being a bracelet. For she put the shield on her back to use in the battle that she was sure was going to happen in Manhattan. Arabella changed into her Greek battle armor, when Emily, Steve and Clint suit up into their suits. Emily has to admit that she was glad of wearing her Lieutenant USA uniform once more, she felt more like herself than she has in years. Arabella Clint and Natasha were walking behind Emily and Steve as they boarded the Quinjet that one of the pilots noticed them and spoke.

"You guys aren't authorized to be in here."

"Son, just don't." Once they managed to get the S.H.I.E.L.D. people out that Clint and Natasha took the pilot and co pilot seats and closed the doors before taking off to Manhattan. Arabella was sitting next to Emily, of which didn't surprise Emily at all for Arabella was more scared and worried about being in the sky than Emily was. Emily watched as they entered Manhattan, there signs of the attack everywhere, Emily wasn't sure when the last time she saw New York looking like this. Natasha managed to get hold of Tony.

"Stark, we're heading north east."

"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing that park, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you." Natasha did what Tony ask, they managed to hit some of the aliens, than they crashed in the ground. They got out of the quinjet and saw the giant airship thing that came out of the portal. It was Steve that spoke through his earpiece in his mask.

"Stark, are you seeing this?"

"I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?" Tony flew past them as he spoke.

"Banner?"

"Just keep me posted." Some of the chitauri warriors landed near them, Steve looked back at Arabella, Emily, Natasha and Clint.

"You think you can hold them off?" It was Clint that responded.

"Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure." So the four of them started fighting the Chitauri while Steve made his way towards the cops nearby to help them or whatever he was going to do. Emily used mostly her powers from her mother and Hades, of which was basically the shadows and plants. Arabella was using her shadows and darkness as well as Emily, Emily made sure she pretty used her plant powers instead of her shade and darkness powers. Emily grasp the poppy, the poppy became her sword, she grasp her necklace and circled it making it her staff from World War II. As they were fighting that she heard Natasha and Clint talking.

"Just like Budapest all over again!"

"You and I remember Budapest very differently." After a few minutes of fighting that Steve returned and he managed to get the police to make sure that people stay out of the fighting area. Just than some lighting hit some of the aliens nearby and they were killed as soon as the lightning it them. Than Thor flew over the debris and landed close by. Thor stood up properly and walked to Steve of who also walked over to Thor as well and Steve spoke as he went over to Thor.

"What is the story upstairs." Emily and the others walked closer to Thor as he spoke,

"The cube is impenetrable."

"Thor's right, we have to deal with this guys." As Tony spoke that he went flying nearby them, Emily was at least glad that they have at least two people that can fly.

"How do we do this?"

"As a team."

"I have unfinished business with Loki."

"Yeah. Get in line."

"Save it. Loki is going to keep the fight focus on us and that's what we need. We got Stark on top. . ." Steve turned around as he spoke facing them but he stopped talking when they all heard a motorcycle. Emily looked towards the sound and it was a motorcycle, not only that but it was Bruce that was driving the motorcycle. Emily and the others walked towards Bruce, Bruce stopped the motorcycle not too far for them before he got off the motorcycle. Bruce walked in front of the motorcycle before he looked at them than he stopped walking.

"So... this all seems horrible."

"I've seen worse." Bruce looked at Natasha.

"Sorry."

"No, we could... use... a little worse." Than Steve spoke into the ear piece.

"Stark, we got him."

"Banner?

"Just like you said."

"Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you." There was a crash as a huge giant worm air craft crashed into the building with Tony flying in front of it. Emily gripped her sword tighter and she could hear Thor grunt and her was sure that he gripped his hammer tighter ready for the fight. Emily heard Arabella taking out her own sword.

"I don't see how that is a party." Emily smirked when Natasha said that.

"I can." Natasha looked over at Emily when she said that, Emily looked back at her. "While if you have seen what I have seen, you would say the same thing." Emily could hear Arabella laugh behind her. Bruce didn't say anything, instead he was staring at the machine or whatever it was and started walking towards the flying ship. Steve took a couple of steps forward.

"Dr. Banner." Bruce looked back at Steve. "Now might be a really good to get angry."

"That's my secret, captain." He looked at the giant worm once more before looking back at Steve. "I'm always angry." Bruce turned to face the giant worm as he did so that he started to change into the hulk. He used one hand to stop the aircraft and it started to go up and than fall down of where Emily and the others were standing. Tony told them to hang on and he started firing at the tail, Emily lite herself up with normal fire, thankfully since she became Hestia's champion that Hephaestus added some things to her Lieutenant USA uniform to make it fireproof. He would have to do it anyway due to the fact that Hades adopted her and Emily has control over dark fire or black hellfire. Emily also started hitting the tail with her fire when she lit herself up. Steve was using his shield to make sure nothing hits him and Natasha was behind him also with the shield over herself as well. Clint and Arabella went next to a car and Thor was using his own power and hammer as well.

The tail went off to one side missing the seven of them, Emily remained where she was as the others got up from their position. All eight of them were standing in a circle as the aliens started to roar at them for destroying one of their machines or creatures. Like as if Emily cared of what they were thinking about or how mad they were with Emily and the others for destroying the giant worm, the hulk roared in respond to the aliens. Emily was still light up with her sword in her hand and she was standing next to Steve with his shield in his hand, than it was Tony in his ironman suit. Next to Tony was the Hulk, than it was Barton and he was holding his bow with an arrow in the bow. Than Thor was next to Barton and Thor was holding his hammer, than it was Natasha of who was standing between Arabella and Thor, Natasha had a gun in her hand, she was loading the gun. Arabella was next to Emily's other side and Arabella has her sword out. Emily looked up at the portal as well as Natasha, she saw that more aliens and the machines, or creatures, was coming out of the portal above the Stark building.

"Guys." The others looked up at the portal when Natasha said that.

"Call it, Captain!" Emily looked at Tony with a surprised look on her face, ever since Tony arrived that Tony and Steve been at odds with each other for the most part.

"Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority's containment. Barton, I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash." Emily smiled as Steve spoke, this was the first time in two weeks that Steve was himself once more. Emily knew that he has been having a difficult time adjusting to this time and world. But now, she was sure that it would not so hard on him to get adjusted to this new world not that he found himself again. Than Clint looked to Tony and spoke,

"Want to give me a lift?"

"Right. Better clench up, Legolas." Tony walked over to Clint before he took Clint by the collar of his shirt and shot up into the sky towards the building that Steve told Barton to go to. Than Steve looked over at Thor before he went on with his orders.

"Thor, you gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow 'em down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up." Thor swing his hammer and flied over to the Empire State Building, Emily hopes that Zeus doesn't do anything when Thor gets there. However, Emily doubted lighting would have any effect on Thor since Thor was a god of lighting and thunder in the Norse stories. Besides Thor was the Norse version of Zeus, expect he lived longer than humans but Thor wasn't immortal like Zeus. Than Steve looked at Arabella, Emily and Natasha of who were looking at Steve.

"You, me, Arabella and Emily, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk?" Steve turned to face the hulk. The Hulk turned around to look at Steve, Steve was pointing at the hulk. "Smash!" The Hulk grinned before he leaped away from them. After that, the fighting seemed to be a blur to Emily, her sword easily cut down the aliens. Emily knows that the sword could be used against mortals and anything from the demigod world. But it was questionable if it worked with the aliens or if the sword would go right though them like a normal celestial bronze sword does with a mortal. That was till now, Emily was glad that her sword worked on aliens as well as anything godly or mortals need be. Soon enough Emily found herself on a bridge with Arabella Steve and Natasha, it felt like forever even though Emily knows it had only been a short amount of time.

"Captain, none of this is going to mean a damn thing if we don't close that portal."

"Our biggest guns couldn't touch it."

"Well, maybe it's not about guns."

"If you want to get up there, you're gonna need a ride."

"I got a ride. I could use a boost, though."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah. It's gonna be fun." Emily and Arabella kept fighting to make sure none of the aliens go near Natasha and Steve, Emily watched as Natasha ran and jumped onto the shield. Than she made onto one of the flying crafts that the aliens were using, but at that moment that an alien managed to knock Emily to the ground. Emily was about ready to stabbed the alien with her sword when it made a gasping sound before it started to back away from Emily. Emily sat up more properly and looked at the alien more properly and saw a gold arrow of where it's heart should be, the alien moved back against the railing of the bridge and fell over the side of the bridge. Emily looked back to where the alien been standing before to see who used that arrow for she knows it wasn't Clint. There were four people standing there, four people that Emily knew were alive but she was never able to find them. All of them had a gold bow in their hands and a gold quiver with gold arrows on their backs and they were all were gold jackets over their commando uniforms from World War II. It was none other than Dum Dum, Gabe, Jim and Lauren.

Emioy was ready to cry but she held herself back as she got up from where she was before she ran over to Lauren and hugged her, Lauren hugged her back while the other three went over to Steve. Emily didn't care that there was a battle going on around them at the moment after about seventy years of not being able to talk to Lauren and not seeing Lauren matter at the moment. A few tears left her eyes as she hugged Lauren, after a minute that Emily pulled away from the hug and notice that Lauren been crying as well. Emily didn't blame her, for, unlike with Emily, Lauren had no idea that Emily was still alive since Lauren wasn't adopted by Hades. If Lauren was than Emily would have known by now. The others come over and greeted Emily after they greeted Steve while Steve hugged Lauren before letting her go. However they quickly joined he fighting just after the other three greeted her, Steve and Lauren quickly joined the fight. Arabella did stop fighting when Emily had went running to Lauren but she reused fighting when Emily and the others started fighting again. It was Lauren that spoke up.

"I thought you two were dead." Emily slash the head of an alien before she answered.

"No, we are not dead."

"Well we did learn that Steve was alive a couple of weeks ago when he was taken out of the ice. But what happen to you?"

"I was adopted by one of the gods and become immortal."

"Did the said god made you immortal?"

"Yes."

"Why did he made you immortal?" Emily cut off another head of one of the aliens before she replied.

"Because I am his heir to his realm if something were to happen to him than I will become the next ruler."

"Are you saying my father adopted you. That would be a bit weird, even if I think of you as a sister."

"Oh please, he wouldn't pick me since he has other children to pass that onto and some are gods. However if I was Zeus, I would pick you to be the heir to his realm."

"Than who adopted you, for I know that Poseidon didn't adopted you for he already has a heir to his kingdom."

"It was Hades, he adopted me for more than that one reason. He watched Steve and myself growing up and thought of us as his children. However Steve was in the ice when he adopted me, he did ask me for permission before he adopted me as well as Demeter. I said yes."

"Does your real father mind this?"

"No, he is rather glad I accepted and hopes that Steve would accept one day. Hades is waiting to do that because he wants Steve to be readjusted to this world and be trained with his born abilities before adopts him. However I would still be the heir even if Steve accepts that offer, but Hades is waiting to offer that to him till later."

"Really, I never knew that." Emily looked over at Arabella as Emily kicked one of the aliens back.

"You never asked." It was than that Emily notice that Loki catches an arrow and the arrow exploded tossing Loki inside the Stark Tower. At that moment that Natasha spoke over the ear piece that was in their uniforms or ears, depending on who it was.

"I can close it. Can anybody copy? I can shut the portal down."

"Do it!"

"No wait!"

"Stark, these things are still coming!"

"I got a nuke coming in. It's going to blow in less than a minute, and I know just where to put it."

"Stark, you know that's a one way trip?" It seems that Tony cut off from the rest of them as he headed to the portal with the nuke. Tony went inside the portal and the army in the portal started to blow up, Steve told Natasha to close it. Of which she did do, at the last minute that Tony came though the portal, but he didn't slow down. Thor started using his hammer while the hulk jumped up and grabbed him before getting back down and letting go of Tony. Thor was the one that ripped open the mask, Emily, Arabella and the others went over to where they were. Tony has his eyes closed, Emily noticed that his life aura was just barely flicking, everyone lowered their heads, but Emily and Arabella. Emily and Arabella could see that Tony was struggling between life and death, than the hulk roared, suddenly his life aura flared up. Tony took a gasp of air and he spoke making everyone look at Tony with relief.

"What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me." Steve sighed and let out a breath of air as he spoke.

"We won."

"Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." Tony moved his arms around as he spoke.

"We still have one more thing to do." Thor looked at the tower, Tony merely nodded, Emily and Gabe helped Tony up. While Lauren ran over to Steve and hugged him once more,p before placing her head on Steve's shoulder. It was than that Tony and Thor seem to realize that the others that were there that they didn't know.

"Who are you guys?" It was Gabe who answered for Lauren, Dum Dum, Jim and himself.

"We are the howling commandos. It was only the four of us that had come here." Than Emily spoke.

"What about the rest of the howling commandos?"

"Different parts of the world, half of them are in the campsite, the main base for the howling commandos, while the rest are trying to protect most people from threats around the world. But we didn't always managed to get there in time, at times some people bear us to it." Tony merely smiled, Emily knows that Tony been dealing with the ten rings since S.H.I.E.L.D. learned Tony was Ironman. They went up to the tower where Clint and Natasha were wearing for them, as well as the hulks. When they were in front of Loki that he wanted that drink that Tony offered earlier, Thor chained him before putting him into a cell. After they did that, that the eight of them went to the shawarma that Tony brought up. They paid for it and just sat at the table and ate, while the couple were trying to cleans up the place after the battle that just happened.

The next day that they all went to Central Park and said farewell to Thor before he left with Loki so that Loki can face Odin's judgement. They all said farewell to each other before going their different ways, however Lauren went with Steve to face the world and help him to adjust. She left Gabe in charge of the howling commandos while she was away, Gabe, Jim and Dum Dum went back to the howling commandos. Tony and Bruce went to Stark tower, Clint and Natasha had went back to S.H.I.E.L.D. while Emily went to the underworld and Arabella went back to Hogwarts.

Nick Fury's pov

Nick was standing in front of the world security council, none of them looked to happy with what he told them and what they heard on the news. Nick really didn't care all that much of how they think any more since they made some stupid decisions in the last couple of years, more so in the last few days. His least favorites were scrapping the avengers project and using the Tesseract as phrase two. But he never told them those facts though, however his least favorite idea was when they tried to blow up Manhattan with that missile the day before.

"Where are the Avengers?"

"I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence."

"And the Tesseract?"

"The Tesseract is where it belongs: out of our reach."

"That's not your call."

"I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the demigod and god that did."

"So you let him take it and the war criminal, Loki, who should be answering for his crimes?"

"Oh, I think he will be."

"I don't think you understand what you've started. Letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous."

"They surely are. And the whole world knows it. Every world knows it."

"Was that the point of all this? A statement?"

"A promise." With that the monitors were turned off and he walked out of the room and he walked to the main room. When he reached the main room that he walked to the windows and looked out to the sky in front of him. One of the agents had told him that they checked up on Phil and he was totally healed but it may take a few day for Phil to wake up from that coma. Nick figured on that, for he was sure Apollo would want to make sure everything was healed properly before Phil wakes up. As he stood there that he heard someone walking towards him, he guessed that it was Agent Hill.

"Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?"

"They'll come back."

"You really sure about that?"

"I am."

"Why?"

"Because we'll need them to." When he said that, that he could hear Agent Hill walking away from him.
