It been a month since Jason entered Camp Halfblood, Emily spend half of her time at Camp Halfblood to help Jason get adjusted to Camp Halfblood. However it was a struggle for Jason, even though he was more greek like than roman while he was at Camp Jupiter. But at Camp Halfblood, it was the other way around, it was rather odd for Emily to think of Jason as being more roman than greek. For she always thought of him as more greek than roman, emily took it upon herself to teach Jason to fight like a greek demigod. During the last month that Emily stayed at Camp Halfblood half of the time, she spend the nights in the Hades Cabin. Hestia would have got one but she told the camp that she doesn't need one, of which didn't bother Emily. For Nico only stays in the cabin every once a while, while Arabella is only in the cabin when she is not in the underworld or Hogwarts. Chiron did ask Emily if she wanted to be Counselor of the Hades Cabin, Emily refused, true she was a camper in a sense. But she was more less helping with the training of the demigods.
Honestly, Emily was unsure of who was the counselor of the Hades Cabin, it was either Nico or Arabella. Though it was more likely Arabella since she has been at camp for a much longer time than Nico. Emily didn't let that bother her, that day was one of her day offs, for Hades didn't want to come to the underworld, Hestia hasn't contact her as well as her mother. Steve and Bucky were leading the howling commandos on a mission to try to help make sure Gaea stays asleep. It was weird she wasn't part of that, but she knows that Steve can lead the howling commandos without, besides she was still trying to get Jason to be more Greek like. Lauren was leading one of the units of Project demigod along with original tema and their own units. Natasha and Clint rejoined SHIELD that was engine rebuilt by Phil, Phil was rebuilding SHIELD or he was in Camp Jupiter with Aubrey. Bruce and Tony were in the labs, Thor was who knows where, like as if it matters all that much at any rate. At the moment, Emily was in the sword fighting arena with Jason teaching him the different techniques of a greek warrior. He was a quick learner but he still couldn't quite grasp it yet though for he kept slipping into his legion training.
"No, Jason. Legion training helps and everything, as well give you an edge when someone who doesn't know legion fighting. But if you are going to lead the Greeks and Romans that you need to learn to fight as both a Greek and a roman. As well as to switch between them and use them both at the same time. Your legion training is preventing you from learning to fight like a Greek." As Emily said that, that Emily and Jason fought, Emily was fighting greek but Jason was still fighting like a roman but at times he fought like a Greek. There were times of when he would do something greek and he would fall back to the roman method halfway. Emily managed to block, defend and took offense from time to time. Children of the big three were among the best sword fighters among the demigods, but Emily felt that she was fighting with Jason to easy. But she knows part of his problem was struggle of adjusting to this camp, after a couple of hours of sword play that they took a break. Jason sat on the sidelines and Emily sat down next to him, Emily rubbed the back of her neck as Jason took some water before he spoke.
"Ambassador, ... " Emily glared at Jason when he said that. "Emily, I was wondering, how come you never brought up that you are Emily Barnes?" Emily signed when Jason said that.
"Well for seventy years, I was wishing for my brother to be found before I reveal I was alive. During that time that I was helping and protecting the demigods the best that I could do. It is a tough life to be a demigod as you know. I would admit when Hades adopted me that neither one of us expect the second appearance but it made it easier for me to help and protect the demigods as well as to get them to camp so that they could be trained. After I revealed that I was alive that it didn't take to long for the Greeks to find out about who I was really. Daedalus was the one that revealed to the Greeks and I didn't mind it for there campers that I brought him that I know at camp as well as some old friends from my time in camp that were here. However I saw no point telling the Romans this since as far as they were concern that I am Rachel Blackthrone, daughter of Pluto, ambassador of Vesta, and protecter of the roman state and the home. Plus if I do tell the Romans that fact that it would be confusing." Emily looked over at Jason. "I know it's odd or dishonorable or whatever. But what I needed to do and done for seventy years that it would make it hard for me to do as Emily Barnes. Besides, if the demigods knew about who I was, that they would have ask me non stop of questions about the war and since than. Thankfully no one has done that yet, but my memories of the war are not pleasant, you have no idea of how many nightmares that I had about the war." Jason looked away from Emily.
"Was it as bad as the titan war?"
"Honestly, it was worse than the Titan war. I had nightmares of the choices I made to try to protect the people and protect the freedom. I had nightmare of when I lost my husband and brother, the nightmares lasted for years." Jason looked back at Emily, Emily sighed and looked away. "That is another reason that I never revealed of who I was to the Romans. I may ask you not to tell anyone, with Greeks it is different, but with the Romans they would want me to show them the different ways of fighting and want to hear the stories of the war. True, I learned to deal with what happened, but I would feel like if I was reliving it if I told the Romans the stories. Romans love war, battle, honor, among many other things. I am not going to deny that there are things that I like about the Romans, but there are things that I hate about them. For Romans think that all there is war and fighting but there are so many others out there."
"I am wondering, do you think I am a Greek and not a roman?" Emily smiled lightly when Jason said that.
"Well, there is no doubt that you were born a son of Jupiter and you are roman, that you upheld of what Romans uphold. However, in so many ways, you are almost greek. This is why I was able to get along with you so well, for you seem more like you were greek even if it was obvious of the fact that you were roman. However here you are more like a roman mostly because of the fact that you lived at Camp Jupiter for so long." Emily looked over at Jason. "But I think you have a choice to face in the future, whether you are going to be greek or Roman." Jason seem surprised when Emily said tha.
"Can you see into the future? For I don't think it is within your area."
"You quite correct, Jason. That seeing into the future is not within my area. You are wondering of I would know."
"Yes." Emily sighed before she spoke.
"It's because of my Hestia powers, I always call tell when someone who is related to me is nearby. Not only that but I can sense of who one thinks as their family. You, young man, are conflicted about it. Even though you been here for about a month that I can sense that Camp Halfblood has become another home to you but you also consider Camp Jupiter as your home as well. I want to consider something, follow me." Jason followed her out of the arena and up onto the hill, Emily turned towards the camp and so did Jason. Emily gestured to the camp. "As far as I am concern this is home to me or one of my many homes. The underworld, my chain, the avenger tower and to a small degree Camp Jupiter, are also my homes. I never questioned of where my homes are. But from this view point you are used to see Camp Jupiter with New Tome and that Camp Jupiter is set up for demigods to live safely. So my question to you, Jason, is where your home? Where do you belong? Who are you? Are you greek or are you roman? Most of all, what you decide when that choice comes?" Emily looked at Jason of who was looking down at Camp.
"I don't know."
"Think about it, Jason, just think about it. But I may as well go back to the tower. I will see you later, Jason." As Emily walked away that Jason spoke up, making Emily turned to face him.
"Does Camp Jupiter know where I am?"
"No, I can't say anything till Percy shows up." Jason merely nodded and Emily was engulf in shadow. After another week that Emily went to Camp Jupiter. It was mostly to check on Hazel and Jennifer, Emily, Jennifer and Hazel spent much of the day talking up on the temple for Pluto. It was one of the places that Emily, Hazel, Jennifer, Arabella and Nico's go to talk with each other besides the gardens. They were on top of the temple as usual, as they spoke that Emily did tell them about the truth of who she was and she made them swear not reveal of who she was unless if she gives them permission to do so. Of which they bot swear to. Emily stay there at Camp Jupiter for three days, during that time that she saw Phil walking around with Aubrey during that. Emily was sure that Melinda was in charge of SHIELD while Phil was here, other than Emily, Melinda was the one that he trusted the most. However Emily was still the one he went to for demigod matters if there was something he didn't know. Of which was unlikely since he knows pretty much everything that was needed to know of the demigods and that world. During the three days that Emily was there that Nico showed up, so Emily, Hazel and Jennifer played bug their brother. Of which was basically trying to make Nico smile and laugh, after those three days were up that she went back to the tower.
