After Colonel Phillips left that everyone assumed that they were dismissed. Lauren went to where the members of Project Demigod were whirl Lauren's brothers managed to get to Steve before she could say or do anything. So she was left to wonder the halls by herself not sure of what to do with herself. If this was back at camp, even the last few months that she was there before she joined the war, that she knows she would be able to come up something. As she walked along the hallway that she didn't notice of who else was in the hallway till she bumped into someone. Emily was sure that she would have fell if an hand grasp her arm, Emily was about ready to say thanks wheel she heard a voice she hasn't in nearly ten years.
"Plant Cub?" Emily looked up and two men stood in front of her, both wild looking but wearing French army uniforms. One has dark hair and brown eyes while the other one has light brown hair that was close to blond and has dark eyes. They both were still looked in their mid thirties like Emily last saw them, not only that they still looked the same as she last saw them.
"James? Victor?"
"It is you? We thought you were dead."
"No, I was in the tree and ran for it when the Scythian Dracanae came along. I used my demigod powers to try to slow them down."
"Oh ... Wait what?" Emily giggled when James said that.
"A lot happen in ten years."
"Like what?"
"I still have no idea of what you two are but I am a demigod, a daughter of Demeter. That was why I was good at cooking, growing plants and controlling them. The snake women were Greek monsters from ancient Greece. They go after demigods because they can smell them." James looked at her carefully before he spoke.
"Weird, now that you brought that up that I can tell your scent of nature and the smell of Jasmine during a rainfall is stronger."
"Thanks, I think." Victor was about ready to say something when there was a voice coming down the hall that Emily heard only a little while ago.
"Lieutenant Rogers." Emily turned around to look at Colonel Philips as he walked over to her.
"Yes, Colonel." She noticed the surprise looks on James's and Victor's faces, just as she noticed Colonel Phillips looked at James and Victor.
"Do you know who those two are?"
"Yes, we meet when I was eight." Emily paused for a moment before she went on. "Is there a reason why you were seeking me out?"
"Yes, we learned about something that has to do with the demigods on the other side of the war. I will have to explain it to you in my office."
"All right, lead on than." When Emily said that, that Victor spoke.
"We will talk to you later, Pup." Victor walked past her as James spoke.
"We will be leaving overseas in the next couple of days. Hopefully we talk to you before that. See you later, Plant Cub." James followed Victor, Colonel Phillips watched the two half brothers before looking back at Emily.
"How did you meet those two? I don't think your father would approve of you being with those two."
"I don't know if he thinks that or not for he was already dead for two years by that point. I had been living with an adopted family for a little more than a year when I meet those two. I was in the orphanage for less than a year when I was adopted. Than when I was close if being ten that one time that something came and attack those two while I was in a tree sleeping. When I woke up that the were gone, I was chased by a couple of Greek monsters and used my demigods before passing out and found myself in Camp Halfblood. Than you came along with Project Demigod about ten months ago and you can take it from there." Colonel Phillips shook his head.
"You know if I want alive for as long as I have that I would saw that you done more than I have."
"I don't want to become a robot. So I am good the way I am right now."
"Follow me." Colonel Phillips lead her down to where his office was, when they entered that she saw Lauren was already there with a male that looked about Colonel Phillips. The male turned around when the door was open, Emily looked at the man and she knew at once that this man was not a normal human nor was he a demigod. He wasn't exactly what Victor and James were, she wasn't sure why she was sure on any of that. It was more the way he held himself just told her that this man was different from everyone and everything that she knows. The man was tall and thin, his hair was Auburn and was so long that it could be tucked into his belt of which was odd. His nose was long and crooked, like as if his nose has been broken at least once and at most two times. His fingers were long and his eyes were a brilliant soul piercing blue that twirled with kindness and mischief. He had half moon spectacles and he was wearing a brown suit that he seem uncomfortable in. The man smiled before he spoke in a calm and pleasant voice.
"You must be Lieutenant Rogers." Emily looked at the man, even though he was uncomfortable that his demeanor was serene and ethereal.
"I am, who are you?" It was Colonel Phillips that spoke.
"This is Albus Dumbledore. He asked for us to help him."
"What kind of help?"
"Please sit down and I will explain." Emily sat down in one of the chairs as well as Lauren, as soon they sat down that Albus explain the best he could of what was happening and why he needed their help. As Albus explained that Emily watched him, oddly enough Albus was like Colonel Phillips in a sense for it seems that there was something he was regretting. Not only that but at times his tone sounded off, of which Emily figured that the man that Albus was fighting against in another war was someone close to him or he man did something personal or he took something personal form Albus. When Albus finished, that Emily looked at him.
"So in other words, you want Project Demigod and your army to fight together because Hilter's army of demigods is working with the people on the other side of your own war."
"Yes, neither your army or my army would be equal of fighting both wizarding people and demigods. It would be best if we combine the efforts." Emily looked at Colonel Phillips.
"But why include me in this? I mean when I helped my brother at the HYDRA base that we become a team and we are putting together out own unit. After that you gave my position I. project Demigod to Lauren."
"Yes, but you all need to know, besides, there will be times when I may need you to lead Project Demigod when you are not on a mission with your other unit."
"But why need me to lead Project Demigod from time to time when I am not help leading the howling commandos, not only that I am not even sure you made me a leader of Project Demigod when Lauren is a daughter of Zeus." Colonel Phillips smiled slightly.
"Dr. Erskine wanted the two best demigods that was found, you and Lauren were the two best demigod to lead Project Demigod." Emily glared at him knowing that he said that to keep up his appearance. "Besides, there are two wars going and I want to make sure that both wars end as soon as possible and combining both Albus's army with Project Demigod should help do that."
"All right, make a note that I am aware." Emily stood up. "But there is somewhere else that I am needed." Emily walked to the door and left the office without saying another word.
Later that evening that Emily and Steve went to the bar of where most of the former prisoner were drinking. Emily and Steve were wearing their army uniforms, Emily thought of wearing an evening dress but decided against it since she would be talking to men. It didn't take long for Emily and Steve to find the table where Jim, Gabe, James, Jacques, Dum Dum, John, Luke Thomas, Richard were. Emily and Steve sat down and told them of what they were doing and that they needed a team to do it and he couldn't think of anyone better than them.
"So let's get this straight."
"We barely got out of there alive and you two want us to go back?"
"Pretty much."
"Sounds rather fun, actually." Emily smiled slightly when James, if she remembers right that was his first name, said that. Than Jim burped before he spoke up.
"I'm in." Than Gabe and Jacques spoke in French quickly before Gabe gestured to both Jacques and Himself.
"We're in." John, Luke, Thomas, and Richard looked at each other before they looked at Emily and John spoke.
"We know that our units got new leaders while we were gone and good ones to. Even though I would lie to go back, I prefer to follow you two, besides Emily is basically our sister in but blood and I want to make sure she has back up." Emily smiled and nodded before everyone looked at Dum Dum as he spoke.
"Hell, I'll always fight. But you gotta do one thing for me."
"What's that?" Dum Dum drinks the rest of his beer in the glass that he has in one go before putting the glass down on the table.
"Open a tab." They laughed as Steve got up to go to the bar! Emily couldn't but smile when Steve got up to get more beer. "Well, that was easy!" Than Gabe spoke up.
"Lieutenant." Emily looked over at Gabe. "Do you know how to dance?"
"Yes, of course I know how to dance." Gabe got up and did a bow that reminded her too much of a child of Hermes.
"Care to dance than?" He held out a hand so Emily took his hand and the two of them started to dance, as they danced that the other men at the table started to singing, Emily and Gabe joined in the singing as well.
