AN: for those that read my other stories, I brought up that Demeter found out about Emily, Steve and Bucky being alive from Hades and told him off for it, this is the chapter of where that happens. Not only that but this is were her relationship with Hades and Persephone start to develop more. Than more with Persephone than Hades since Emily and Persephone ought it was so funny of what happen between Hades and Demeter. That was what helped bond Emily and Persephone in the first place, since they could talk about the two and complain about them without having to complain to Hades about Demeter or the other way around. This chapter and the last chapter is more or less the first few months of the adoption, by the end of the chapter that all the gods will know who Emily is and that her death was faked. Next chapter, I will skip about twenty seven to twenty nine years into the future, for that is about the time she will meet Phil for the first time, however will be some other things that I would need to cover in that chapter as well.

As the Augur lead up to the main building in the legion area that Emily kept thinking of what just happened. She wasn't sure what to expect when she entered this camp and it sure wasn't that, in the last few days her father did tell her that the Romans were expecting her to arrive within the week or so. He also told her that the Romans considered children of Pluto as bad luck, so she didn't expect the welcome that she had. Emily did notice the surprise when she brought up who her patron goddess was, Emily wasn't sure of what to make of that. Emily was draw out of her thinking as the augur knocked Ina door and someone said enter. The augur opened the door and went in before he step side to let Emily walk past, Emily walked past him and twelve people looked up at her. She noticed on ten of them that they were wearing centurion's badges, while the other two were wearing purple capes of the praetors. Six were males while the other six were females, the male with praetor's cape stood up before bowing and spoke.

"Greetings, your highness."

"Greetings but you don't need to bow or call me your highness ambassador or Rachel will do. I am still getting use to hearing your highness." That was only part of the reason of why she didn't want to be called your highness, the main reason was because Emily still didn't think of herself as a princess or not now at any rate or if she ever will. After being introduce to the centurion's and the praetors that the augur showed her to where she would be sleeping while she was at the camp. For the next few days, Emily remained at the camp to get a better idea of what the camp was like. One thing she quickly notice was that all the Romans started calling her ambassador, there was also a few times when they asked her about starting a new order of Vestals Virgins of which she told them that she wouldn't do. On the last day that Emily spent at the camp that there was a senate meeting, she went to the senate meeting. She was introduce to the people of New Rome, when it was brought up that she was the champion of Avesta that one of the older senators spoke up.

"About time, that means the Vestal Virigns come back." Emily turned to the senator that spoke before she spoke.

"You naturally assume that I will reform the Vestal Virigins just because I am the champion of Avesta. That is not really smart thing to assume."

"But you are her champion."

"Yes, I am her champion. She picked me as her champion. It as the leader as the Vestal virgin, if she wanted to reform the vestal virgin than she would have picked someone else as her champion. For I am not a virgin and I haven't been for a while, not only that but I was married and my husband is still alive but he has been doing things for one of the other gods and has other things to do besides come here. As far as I am aware, Vesta has no plans of reforming her group for the time being at least but I don't know this, for she never spoke with me about this. I doubt that she would unless if she decides to, plus she knows I wouldn't really want to know about those plans. I am more or less a guardian of the home and family, I am not a guardian or even the goddess of virgins, the worry to virgin falls to Lady Diana or Lady Vesta if she decides to being back the Vestal Virgins." As Emily spoke that the senate remained silent, Emily felt so nervous as she spoke that she felt like she was going to throw up. She tried kept herself calm by trying to use the hope that came with the champion to Hestia of which sort of worked. Emily sat back down and said nothing for the rest of the meeting, after the meeting that Emily left New Rome before running into the shadows to return to the underworld. Upon reaching her bedroom that she went on her bed when she closed her eyes that fell asleep.

She was inside a plane and she knew which plane it was, the same plane that her brother crashed only a few weeks ago. The Red Skull just disappeared and the tesseract fell through the floor, Steve was just standing as he watched of what just happened. Emily was looking at him, knowing all too well that this was a demigod dream and that this was the past and there was no way to help him. Steve went over to the controls and managed to contact the base and an she heard Lauren over the radio

"Steve are you all right?"

"Lauren! Schmidt's dead."

"Is that an airplane?"

"That's a little bit tougher to explain." Emily could see that there some damage done to the controls or the controls were to advance for Steve to control. She could tell that Steve manage to her some control as Lauren spoke

"Give me your coordinates and I'll find you a safe landing site."

"There's not gonna be a safe landing, but I can try and force it down."

"I'll-I'll get Howard on the line. He'll know what to do."

"There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water."

"Please don't do this. W-we have time. We can work it out." Than Emily heard herself.

"Steve, there has to be another way to stop the plane besides the one you are suggesting." There was no mistake of the pain coming form Emily's voice.

"Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are gonna die. Lauren, Emily, this is my choice." Emily watched as Steve started to force the plane down. Steve had the compass with the picture of Lauren it on the dashboard. "Emily..."

"I am here."

"I am sorry for what I am going to do. I am sorry that I won't been there. Please do me a favor."

"What?"

"Protect the demigods, do what you can to help them."

"I promise to do my best." Emily could see that Steve was holding back tears, he looked at the picture of Lauren before he spoke.

"I'm here."

"I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance."

"All right. A week next Saturday at The Stork Club."

"You've got it."

"Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?"

"You know, I still don't know how to dance."

"I'll show you how. Just be there."

"We'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your..."

"No! No!" Emily hardly noticed she woke up and was screaming till she felt a pair of arms around her and hold info her close to their body. Emily didn't know the body all that well but she took a guess of who it was since there was only one other person inside the palace. Emily felt herself shaking as well as crying, it took a while before Emily managed to stop crying and shaking. Emily pulled out of the hug as she looked over at Hades. "Sorry about that."

"Not the first time and I am sure it is not going to be the last time." There was no denying that fact, Hades got up before he spoke. "Emily, I hope in due time that the nightmares you have be having will end."

"Hopefully or become less." Hades merely nodded before leaving her room.

In the following few months Emily slowly started to get use to her duties as the underworld princess, soon enough she found herself back in the world above for the next six months while Persephone went down to the underworld. However Emily remained down in the underworld for a day to spend with Persephone, that day Emily was in her birth appearance. Unknown to Emily and Persephone at the time that it was a good thing for what will happen later that day in the throne room. It was halfway rough the day when Emily and Persephone heard shouting and they followed it, and they found themselves in the throne room with Demeter and Hades shouting at each other and it was Demeter that was yelling.

"SHE WAS KILLED SHORTLY AFTER YOU ADOPTED HER AND IT WAS ONLY WHEN I WAS VISITING CENTRAL PARK THAT I LEARNED OF WHAT HAPPEN. YOU LET IT HAPPEN, NOT ONLY IS HER HUSBAND DEAD AS WELL AS HER BROTHER BUT SHE WAS KILLED ON A SUICIDE MISSION BY HERSELF."

"DEMETER, I AM NOT THE GOD OF DEATH PEACEFUL OR OTHERWISE, I AM THE GOD OF THE DEAD AND UNDERWORLD. YES I COULD KILL PEOPLE OR CURSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORTAL. I DONT CLAIM THEM FOR DEATH, THAT IS THANATOS' JOB."

"FIEN JOB HE IS DOING, KILLING OFF MY CHILDREN, THE LAST CHILD I HAD BEFORE I GAVE BIRTH TO THOSE TWO WAS IN ANCIENT ROME IN MY COUNTERPART . . ." As her mother yelled that she had waved her arms around and looked around the throne room to make her point. But when she saw Emily and Persephone standing there that her mother stopped, hades looked over at them as well. Emily and Persephone stood there both of them were unsure of what to do now, has their mother turned to Hades and spoke. "You knew she wasn't dead in the first place. Why didn't you tell me?" Hades seem to be unsure of how to answer that question, Emily was unsure of how to answer that question mainly because she assumed Hades would have told the other gods about her being alive since Persephone knew. Emily never gave much thought that Hades didn't tell the other gods or at least her mother about her. Than Demeter started to yell again.

"FIRST, YOU KIDNAP PERSEPHONE AND MARRIED HER. THAN YESRS LATER YOU ALLOWED THE HUSBAND OF EMILY TO DIE BY FALLING OFF A TRAIN THAN HER BROTHER CRASHED AND DIED. THAN YOU DEICDE TO TOP THAT AND FAKE HER DEATH MAKING ME INK I LOST TWO MY CHILDREN ONLY TO FIND ONE OF THEM ALIVE. NEXT THING YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME THET NEITHER STEVE AND BUCKY ARE NOT DEAD." Hades spoke up.

"Actually, Steve and Bucky didn't die from the fall and the crash."

"WHAT?" Emily and Persephone covered heir ears as their mother exploded, while Hades shrunk under their mother. After the yelling that Demeter stormed out of the throne room, Emily and Persephone uncovered their ears before looking at each other. As they looked at each other that slowly Emily and Persephone started to smile before they started to laugh. Hades glared at them but neither one paid any heed, when Emily and Persephone managed to stop laughing that Emily spoke up.

"Hades, can you ask my mother to come down here so that she could do that again."

"No!" Hades stomp out of the throne room as Emily and Persephone started to laugh again falling to the floor from all the laughing they were doing. Once they stopped that Emily and Persephone went to Emily's cabin to talk some more.

When the winter solstice came around that Emily found herself walking along with Hades and Persephone to the throne room. As they walked along the path that everyone looked up and watched them, the godlings, muses and everyone else that lived on Olympus smiled at least Emily and Persephone. Emily smiled slightly back at them, she put her hand son her arms as she walked. Hades and Persephone insist on Emily wearing her princess of the underworld dress when she came here. It was a black dress with no sleeves and a cape attached to the dress that was halfway down her back, there was a gold chain around the waist. Her skull necklace was around her neck, her two bracelets were up further to reveal the tattoo that she has. On her other wrist was a red poppy and on that hand were two wedding rings.

Unlike for the most part in the last few months that Emily was in her normal appearance. After her mother learned of what happen to her that it was made known quickly about to Emily and Steve about their supposed death. Emily was unsure if her mother brought up Bucky or not, though from the few times she spoke with her mother in the last few months that her mother thinks highly of Bucky. Zeus had request at least her first time attending the winter solstice as a champion of Hestia and daughter of Hades to be in her birth appearance. Thankfully Emily didn't run into Chiron or the campers, when Emily and the other two entered that the rest of the gods looked over at them, she felt like she was back at in Camp Jupiter in a sense on her first trip there. But there was differences, she felt a puny ant for all the gods were in their godly height as the campers refer to it. So the gods were about ten feet tall or so, not all of them were that size, Artemis and Hestia were among the exceptions. Persephone and Hades went to his winter throne of sorts, with Persephone sitting behind him, leaving Emily standing there with the gods looking at her. Than Zeus spoke.

"Emily Barnes, please come to the center." Emily walked forward till she was in the center of the room, she wasn't sure if she should now or not and she was about ready to kneel when Zeus spoke up. "You don't need to kneel." Emily looked up at Zeus, she had seen the statue in the Zeus cabin and she had seen Zeus a few times before but she never spoke to him before. She wasn't sure of what to say to Zeus, suddenly Zeus stood up and went down to human size and walked towards her. When he stood in front of her that he looked down at the tattoo she gained a few months again before he looked at and spoke once more. "It's rare to have a demigod that is aware of both demigods groups and camps. When Hades told me what he did that I wasn't happy about but he really didn't break the pact of not revealing the other group to you. For you put you through the same test that the Romans have and nor did he break the pact of not having any more children since you are not his by birth. But I will admit that I could see of why he wanted you there, as you learned that here a couple of legacies of Pluto in Camp Jupiter." For a few moments the gods changed a little but it was mostly their clothes so that their clothes were more roman but the clothes went back to being more Greek like.

"I am aware of this, Zeus, Hades told me about the legacies and his concern of how they are treated. But what is to you?"

"I am going to make it official, every solstice, summer and winter, I want you to give us a basic report of the Romans of their training and any new recruits and changes in leadership."

"I can do that, is there anything else?"

"Just this one thing." Zeus paused for a few moments before going on. "I am not going to deny that I am thrilled about demigods that are are children of my brother, but you are the only exceptions though mainly due to your relationship to my five children, Lauren, John, Luke, Richard and Thomas. I never see any six as close as you six were, the only ones that even came close is the relationship between Steve and Bucky. So you have my full permission to travel the sky and any child of the underworld is safe in the sky as long as they are on the same plane as you are."

"Thank you, Zeus." Zeus nodded before he walked back to his throne and regrew before sitting down. Zeus looked around at the other gods before he spoke.

"Is there anything else that the gods would like to add to what I did?" Zeus looked around and when no one else said anything that he looked over at Emily.

"Emily, join Hestia, for the meeting is going to start." Emily nodded before going to Hestia and sat down as Zeus started the meeting.
