Elizabeth could see the road block up ahead, she was walking along side her uncle and his other side was Bucky. Behind them was all the captured prisoners and some of them needed some medical attention. Not as badly as they did when they left the base for Elizabeth had used some of her knowledge of plants to help with the wounded throughout the walking of the thirty miles back to camp. The only reason that they didn't use the plane was because there was no transmitter for the transmitter that her uncle has was broken as they were trying to get out of the HYDRA base. When they were close enough to the road block that the road block was lifted up from the road all of them had walked into camp. As they went to the center of the camp that Elizabeth notice James, Lauren, Agent Carter and Colonel Phillips.
Elizabeth knows she had made them worried of what happen to her and that she didn't go back to the tent last night. When Lauren and James learned of what she has done, in the last many hours, that they would be even more worried of what could have happened to her. For not only was she in the enemy area but there was also monsters out there, but if they were there with Elizabeth and her uncle than they would have attracted even more monsters than just Elizabeth alone. From the looks of it, that Lauren and James had been worried about her, when they sew her that they look relieved and ran over to her and hugged her. As they hugged each other that she hears Colonel Phillips say there was no need for what Elizabeth and her uncle had done. That he wasn't going to do anything about it, Elizabeth had looked at Colonel Phillips as he walked away. He had stopped for. A minute to look at her and merely winked before walking away, Elizabeth had raised an eyebrow when he did that. She wondered what that was for but than Elizabeth, Lauren and James had let to of each other than she had walked over to where Agent Carter and her uncle were standing.
It was when she reached her uncle and Agent Carter that Bucky had spoke. "Let's hear it for Captain America and Lieutenant America." Cheering had followed after that, Elizabeth had looked at her uncle of who looked back at her and merely smiled. Elizabeth had looked at James and Lauren of who looked a little bit confused, mostly likely confused by who Lieutenant America was. They both looked at her, Elizabeth gave them a look at told them that she would explained it to them later when she gets a chance. It seemed to take most of the day before Elizabeth had managed to get away and went into her tent that she shares with Lauren and James. James and Lauren were sitting in a couple of chairs that they had placed in the main area when Elizabeth entered the tent. Elizabeth wouldn't be surprise if they had decided to get away from the men that were celebrating from the arrival of the once captured prisoners.
"What happened?" Elizabeth sat down next to James and looked between James and Lauren.
"It started when I went to talk to my uncle. I originally planned on coming back but something happened, an ambulance had come along and Agent Carter had told us of what had happened. So we checked to see of the status of Bucky." Elizabeth had explained to James and Lauren the events that had transpire from how she left camp with her uncle and what happened at the HYDRA base. Elizabeth had finished when the 107th and other prisoners had arrived back at camp earlier that day. When she had finished that silence that silence had fell upon them, but it was broken from a voice behind them.
"That is one of the many reasons that make you unique from other children of Demeter." Elizabeth, James and Lauren turned around and saw that just inside the entrance was an eight year girl. But Elizabeth, James and Lauren know better though, the three of them had got up and knelt down. Hestia had looked at the three of them before she spoke once more. "You three don't need to kneel." Elizabeth, James and Lauren had stood up as Hestia walked over to them.
"Aunt Hestia, why are you here?"
"I wanted to ask you something. I want to ask you to be my champion." Elizabeth looked at Hestia in surprise, sure Elizabeth would admit that some of the gods would become a patron god or goddess to a Greek hero or demigod. Some of them didn't have a godly parent if they did than the god or goddess would ask the god or goddess of the demigod permission to be the patron.
"Why me? Have you ask my mother?"
"I already have your mother's permission. As for why you, I had watched you all of your life. You have the same spirit as your uncle that you risk everything to make sure your friends and family are safe. You have hope and you hold onto that hope even when there seem like there is no and you manage to pull though that. You have recently proved that fact, that you do everything you can to help those prisoners. Both you and your uncle had gave them the hope they need to get out of there when they were losing that hope. This is why I want you to be my champion for you had gave hope to those prisoners and you will help keep that hope in them along with your uncle. Do you accept?"
"I do." Hestia had placed her hand over Elizabeth's forehead and Elizabeth felt warmth spread though her. The warmth didn't fade when Hestia had pulled her hand away from her forehead. "What was that?"
"I gave you my blessing. Now you have powers like my or my children if I had any."
"Does that mean I can make food appear?"
"Yes, you can control fire as well as use it to heal wounds. You can also use inspire more hope in others. I must go soon. But one more thing before I do." Hestia had pulled out an orange flame bracelet and handed to Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked down at the bracelet and than she looked back at Hestia! knowing all too well that it was more than just a bracelet unlike when her mother had gave her the hair clip.
"What does it do?"
"Swish the bracelet to the right." Elizabeth did as Hestia had ask her and it had become a sword, the hilt was gold in the cross guard was a sodalite and the blade was bronze. The sodalite had some red and white besides the blue that was normal for sodalite. "Now toss the bracelet up in the air." Elizabeth tossed it up and it turned back into the bracelet. "Now swish the bracelet to the left." Elizabeth raised an eyebrow in confusion and swish the bracelet to the left, she expected it to go back to the sword but instead it had turned into a staff and the main color was blue. But there was a sodalite on top of the staff, near the top of the staff just under the sodalite was white stars and there was a red strip on the bottom of the staff. Elizabeth had tossed the staff up and and it turned into a bracelet and she caught it, Elizabeth had looked at Hestia.
"Does this have a history? Like εποχή ερωμένη (season mistress)?"
"It doesn't have a history, that was made for you and you only. No one else can use it but you. You can name it. Also it is made out of Adamantium, Vibranium, and Celestial bronze. But I must go though." Hestia had disappeared in a flash of flames, Elizabeth had looked down at the bracelet and looked at James and Lauren. Elizabeth was sure that they wondered of how the weapon was made from those three metals, but only Hephaestus would be able to do a feat like that or a cyclops.
"Any good ideas for the name of the bracelet?"
"How about ελπίδα της οικογένειας (family's hope)?" Elizabeth had looked at the bracelet.
"I like it, from now on, the bracelet would be called ελπίδα της οικογένειας." As soon as Emily had said that, that the new name had appeared on the bracelet.
A week later
Elizabeth and her uncle had went back to New York for a couple of reasons, he main one was to talk to Howard Stark. However that was also the main base for SSR now, since they were both part of the SSR, that is where they go to when there is a meeting or when they are needed there. Not only that but they also had come here to gather the best men for their squad, Elizabeth had only brought Lauren and James into the squad. The rest of the squad, her uncle took care of by asking the prisoners they freed to be in their squad. For her uncle and just ask some of them to join him in fighting against HYDRA, Elizabeth was sitting next to her uncle as they were talking. The last one, Dum Dum, apparently, had only agreed if her uncle had opened a tab at the bar that they were in. Her uncle had just stood up to refill the drinks, Elizabeth merely shook her head in amusement. Elizabeth had to say that coming here was amusing but she still likes the fireworks in camp Halfblood better mainly because the fireworks were always fun to watch.
Elizabeth was in her new Lieutenant army uniform and her uncle was in his captain army uniform. They reached the place that they were told to wait of where a blond lieutenant was sitting. Elizabeth remained by her uncle as they waited for Agent Carter to get them, it was clear that the female Lieutenant wanted to kiss her uncle but since Elizabeth would be in view that she didn't. Of which made Elizabeth glad of for a couple of reasons, one because she would feel uncomfortable and two her uncle was uncomfortable enough already. It didn't take long for Agent Carter to come and get them and took them to where Howard was. Howard had showed them some of the things he had made for their squad, Elizabeth had picked out a couple of side firearms for her belt and a couple of daggers. Like her uncle she also showed Howard a design she had for when she was Lieutenant America. After a couple of days that Elizabeth and her uncle had got their Captain and Lieutenant America uniforms.
Before leaving that Elizabeth, James, and Lauren had decided to visit Camp Halfblood to visit their friends and siblings. When they had entered camp that everyone was glad to see them, as they were been greeted that Elizabeth had notice out of the corner of her eye was Bellerophon. He had smirk on his face, almost like he was planning on something, Elizabeth had pointed this out to James and Lauren. The three of them agreed to only spend a few hours in Camp Halfblood, after an hour that James and Lauren had went to their cabin to spend time with their siblings while Elizabeth had walked along the lake shore. After a few minutes, Elizabeth had stopped and looked out to the lake, the lake was calm as it usually was. As she looked out that she heard someone walking over to her and she turned around to see Bellerophon walking over to her. Elizabeth snorted and walked towards her cabin before he could even reach her so that she could get away from Bellerophon.
After a couple of hours that Elizabeth, James and Lauren had started to leave camp when they heard someone call out their names and they turn around and saw Bellerophon coming up the hill. Elizabeth was about ready to walk out when Lauren had took hold of her arm and gave her a look. That more or less telling her to see what her wants, Elizabeth had merely nodded and waited till Bellerophon was up next to him. Elizabeth had notice different scars were in his arms, hands and face of which made him look more like Hephaestus. To be honest between the two, even based on looks alone, Elizabeth would prefer to have Hephaestus as a boyfriend than Bellerophon. For she knows his children enough to figure out that she would be able to get along with Hephaestus just fine.
"Where have you three been?" It was Lauren who spoke first of the three of them.
"If you were the cabin while we were in there, while we are talking to our siblings, you would have known." Bellrophen had looked at Lauren and than he had looked Elizabeth.
"I didn't get a chance to ask you this before I left or when you went to your cabin earlier. But I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend." Elizabeth had slapped Bellrophen across his face, he had looked at Elizabeth with an utter shock face.
"That would be no." Before Bellerophon could say anything that Elizabeth got her arm out of Lauren's grip and the three of them headed down the hill and down the farm road with Bellerophon watching them leave the camp.
