Steve's pov
Italy was their best bet at the moment of where Elizabeth and the crew of Argo II would for Elizabeth had told him that they were going to Rome. The last thing Steve had expected when they were close to Italy to see a poppy shooting from below and beyond the sight of the window of the Helicarrier. When he saw the poppy that Steve knew at once that it was Elizabeth, it couldn't be anyone else. So Steve, Tony and Thor had went running up to the deck and looked over the edge of the Helicarrier. Sure enough Elizabeth was down there holding onto her hair clip. It still a zed Steve's for how a hair clip manages to become a sword. He wasn't sure of how much strength she has, he had looked back at Thor before he spoke.
"Thor get ready to pull her up if she can't do it herself."
"All right, son of Roger." Steve had than looked back at Elizabeth before calling down to her.
"Elizabeth!" Elizabeth had looked up at him when he called down to her."Are you all right?"
Other than the fact I don't want the winds to start or get zapped by Zeus, provided the fact that he is not having a headache, I am good and so is he." Steve had to blink a couple of times and looked where Elizabeth was more carefully before he realized that there was a male with her. He realized that they were hugging each other form the looks of it, of which was odd to see since the only other person he had see Elizabeth hugged was James, besides himself. "Do me a favor and pull the poppy up. With what had happen in the last few weeks that I am not sure if I can use my powers to pull both of us up." Steve had nodded at Thor and Thor went to pull the two of them up, Steve was sure that Elizabeth must have been he powers enough that she may not have the strength to use her powers. When Elizabeth and reached the deck that Steve was glad of, than Elizabeth had told them of who the male was before they went back inside and they started to follow a trail that Emily could only see.
Emily's pov
It had been a day since Emily and Leo had boarded the Helicarrier and she had told the pilots of where to go. It only took them that one day to reach Malta, Emily had no idea of why the trail had ended here. Emily had notice during that time that Leo and her uncle had spent a good amount of time together. Emily wasn't sure why, a few times Emily had looked over at them but more toward Leo than her uncle. Whenever he had looked at her that she would look away, the rest of the time Leo was with her or he was with Tony and her uncle would be with her instead. Whenever Leo was with her that at time she had found herself holding his hand and a couple of times that Emily realize that he had put his arms around her from the back. With most males, expect for her uncle, Bucky and James, she would have punched them in the face, even Jason.
However if Jason tried that, she was sure that he would not hear the end of it from Piper. When they to Malta that Emily, Leo, her uncle, Tony, Thor, Natasha, Barton and Dr. Banner had left the Helicarrier and went to a care to wait for the Argo II to appear. After a hour that Emily and Leo had saw the sails of the Argo II, Leo had got up and ran to the docks and Emily followed Leo quickly. The other avengers had followed Emily and Leo to the docks, when they reached the docks that Jason, Hazel, Piper, Frank and Gleeson had greeted them as they had got off the ago II. Gleeson had greeted them in his usual fashion, of which was really annoying but also rather funny as well, depending on the situation.
"Valdez! Blackthrone! If You two ever disappear like that again, you little punks, I'll knock you two into next month!" Emily had mocked bow when Gleeson had said that.
"We will return the favor if you ever disappear like that." Emily had than looked at Leo. "Unless if you think we should do that if he gets knocked out like back on the quest to safe Hera."
"I think we should do that for both." That seem to lift up the mood for the others. Than Emily and Leo had to introduce everyone and when that was out of the way that Emily had notice the black lighting in the sky, the only other ones that could see it was Thor, Jason, Nico and Hazel. Emily knew what that means as well as Jason, Nico and Hazel, Emily had just looked straight ahead and spoke softly but everyone could hear her.
"So Gaea's final push has began."
Emily had wanted her uncle and the rest of the avengers to go back to the states but with the howling commandos determined to help her as well as the avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Emily was glad of having more people helping them with this fight to come, Emily was standing at the railing watching as they went close to the house of hades or Necromanteion had Drew closer. Just out of her corner of her eyes that she saw the Helicarrier, she could see the six avengers on the deck part of the Helicarrier. When they landed that Frank had somehow manage to get Gleeson to stay behind on the ship, however, her uncle and the other avengers had come with them. When they reached the doors that they all ate the barley cake that they got from Trip, even the avengers had ate them as well. As they went deeper that Hazel had comment of how new this site was and that the house of hades was deeper. Than they turned a corner and stopped when they saw a big block of stone.
"A cave-in?"
"A test, Hazel, would you do the honors?" Hazel and stepped forward, as Hazel used her ability that Emily was worried about a cave in but Hazel had created stairs and they all drank the poison that was place at the top stair before going do further into the house of hades. Emily looked over at Leo, despite trying to look brave that Emily could till that Leo was worried and Emily had took his hand and he had looked at her with a small smile. As Hazel lead the way further down that Frank had stopped suddenly, Emily had a feeling that something had happen to Frank but when it passed that they went on and when when they reached a room that they were was a bunch of monsters. Emily, Hazel and Leo managed to make it to the tunnel of where Hazel said that was more likely of where the doors were that there was a cave in at the entrance, cutting Emily, Hazel and Leo from the rest of the group.
Steve's pov
When the ship had docked that Elizabeth and Leo went running to the docks, Steve and the others followed them. It was clear that their friends had missed them, however Steve wasn't sure of what to make of the satyr when he spoke like that to Elizabeth and Leo. But it was clear that they had handle him before, Steve had seen Elizabeth done so before. Finally they had left the city and went towards the house of hades as the demigods referred to it as. Steve didn't like the thought of going there, he was standing at the window as they were moving towards this place. Sure Steve knew more about Elizabeth's other world but he still didn't know everything about the other world. Steve heard footsteps coming towards only for them to stop right besides him.
"I don't know much about the world your niece is part of, son of Roger, but I believe that she would be facing things that you may not understand or even protect her from." That didn't make Steve feel any better, it was at a time like this that he wish it was back in the war of where there was less things for Elizabeth to face along with her two best friends, James and Lauren. True James was alive, or as far as any of them know, but he wasn't here to help or protect Elizabeth. Lauren was died, he wish that she was here for Elizabeth's sake since Lauren, James and Elizabeth balances each other. Plus in a way that it was unfair that he got his best friend back while Emily didn't get one of her best friends back. After a while that they got to the house of hades and they went inside.
When the cave in happened and Elizabeth was on the other side that Steve started to panic, he wish he was on the other side or even one of the other avengers. He wanted to make sure Elizabeth was safe, but he knows it was no good for him to be like this for they were in a fight for their lives. Plus he knows Elizabeth can take care of herself but he still felt the need to protect her since he had done that her whole life as well as Bucky. But with Bucky it was most likely both Steve and Elizabeth till Steve had become Captain America. What happened next had surprised Steve, he had watched as Frank, one of the male demigods that was there, got promoted and after that frank seems unstoppable. Steve wondered if this was normal for demigods. Once they defeat the monsters that they followed to freak to whoever they were going.
