When she managed to stop crying and the crashed was cleaned up that Emily had Phil swear on the river Styx about anything HYDRA related. Honestly, Emily doubted Phil had anything to do with HYDRA but she just wanted to be sure and Phil understand her reasons for what she was doing. When she was sure that Phil had no knowledge of HYDRA being alive and stronger before that day that Emily relaxed. Emily and Phil talked of how HYDRA could have managed to kill them, than Emily had a thought as the flash of metal kept moving forward in her mind. So Emily and Phil went quickly back to the headquarters and started looking through the different files. Finally, Emily managed to find the small file that SHIELD had on the winter soldier of which was not much. There was a picture of the winter soldier with some sort of eyewear and mask on, Emily remembers the people he killed that were in the underworld that told Emily about him and what they saw.

At the time, Emily had a hard time thinking of what he looked like, but now looking at his picture that the spirits describe the winter soldier perfectly. There was little information that SHIELD had on him, it was not much more than what Emily knew already. His hair was brown and he was lightly tanned but she couldn't see what eye color the winter soldier has though due the eyewear. However it was clear from the picture that his one arm was metal, that would explain the flash of metal that she saw when she was going to the limo to get Howard and Maria out. Ever since the winter soldier's first killing that Emily had tried to track him down, there was so many odd things that surrounded the winter soldier. Like how the bullets leave no trace, how fast he has been able to go, how he vanishes and who he was were among the questions that she was curious about. There was also gaps between his killings, though she would admit that if she wasn't a daughter of Hades that she may think hat the winter soldier was a ghost. When the winter soldier emerged that Emily went out of her way to figure out about the winter soldier to stop him from killing. As Emily took the file of the winter soldier into her jacket that Phil spoke.

"Emily?" Emily looked over at Phil. "I know nick believes the winter soldier is real. That is why we have that file. But is this a good idea to take the file?"

"The file would be safer in my hands than SHIELD. Not that I am saying I don't trust Nick or the agents I become close to you like you and Melinda. But I am not risking certain things falling into the wrong hands. Sometimes some of the things have to be buried to be kept a secret or sometimes one leaves SHIELD to keep it a secret or sometimes both." At the last two words that Phil knew who she was referring to, Hank Pym or Antman. "I am not leaving SHIELD, but the file needs to be buried, forgotten." Emily paused for a few moments. "Make sure Nick knows where the file is and explain to him. But tell him as a safety measure that he needs to swear on the river Styx that he is not to breath a word of where he file is or who has and that he is only allowed to say that the file is not in SHIELD hands and are in safe hands."

"What if he asks why we are doing this?"

"Tell him that the two of us found something that needs to be dealt with. That we assigned this mission to ourself to help protect the world and that this mission would be a slow process. That due to what the mission that we can't afford leaks and tell him of what we are doing."

"Are you worried he is not working for SHIELD?" Emily shoo her head.

"No, despite some of the things he has done that I don't agree with or he does something stupid, he doesn't share their ideals. He would not follow them willingly if he is aware of them. If he ask why we won't tell him about what we are doing and of one of us dies than we tell him of what we are doing and why we were doing it. I would rise the same measures with him before I tell him all of that did with you earlier today. That is if I am the one left alive. I know you would do the same." Phil merely nodded when she said that. "All right, I need to take to Hades and than we will meet in my cabin tomorrow so we can plan more of what to do."

"All right, I will go and talk to the director."

"Phil, make sure it is only the director that knows about is so take him somewhere out of the building of where no agent would follow you two." Phil raised an eyebrow. "I asking more my own sake of sanity I this. I felt like I lost most of it earlier talking to Howard."

"All right, it might be safer to tell him this outside of the building anyway." Emily nodded before Phil walked away and Emily was engulf by shadows. Once Emily emerged from the shadows that she was in the hallway in front of the doors that lead to the throne room. Emily opened the door and went inside, to her relief it was only Hades in there, Persephone and Arabella were out of sight. Hades was sitting on his throne looking at the wall with a bored expression on his face of which was rare to see now a days.

"Hades!" Hades jumped and looked at Emily as she entered the room, Hades got down from the throne and went to human size before walking over to her. He spoke as he walked over to her.

"Howard and his wife are down here, so what happened up there?"

"The winter soldier, he killed them." Hades looked surprised.

"Are you sure that it was the winter soldier? I know he caused a lot of death over the years, unless if you saw it happen."

"I did see it happen but not all of it, it happened so fast. It started when I had this odd feeling I had for much of the day before this weird feeling came over Phil and myself. I heard Flower Princess before the limo exploded, Phil and I were lucky that nothing hit us. I managed to get to the limo to find Maria dead and Howard dying. The mist was doing something for Howard could see my true appearance and warned me about HYDRA. With the flash of metal I saw as I went to the limo that I believe the winter soldier had a part to play in what happen as well as HYDRA. I know since the winter soldier emerged that we guessed that he might be working for an agency. I think it is HYDRA but he started working with the KGB first due to the red star on his metals arm." Emily took out the file and tossed it on the table next to her, Hades opened the file and looked at the one picture of the winter soldier. Than he looked up at Emily

"Emily, I need you try to find some more information about the winter Soldier and don't kill him if you find him. Capture him and takes him to your cabin." Emily raised her eyebrow when Hades said that, Emily would had learned more about the winter soldier if it wasn't for the fact she had been busy helping with the underworld, SHIELD and many other things.

"That is a first time I heard you say that after I have been trying to find some clues and managed to find something. Even if it is ore than I got for the winter soldier. Why is the winter soldier any different?" Hades signed before putting one of his hands on top of his head.

"Normally, I would have you kill him or bring the said killer down here to let me punish the killer. But I have many reasons. Unlike the other killers that got away from the justice of mortals, that the winter soldier seems more like a weapon. Maybe even an unwilling erosion for all we know, form what you told me of HYDRA, that seems likely but I know little of HYDRA while you know a lot more of them than I do. From what we learned about him and what this file says." Hades was looking through the file as he spoke. "That the winter soldier could be or might have been unwilling to do this. That they found something and treated him like a subject. Besides it seems off that he appears to same age for the last fifty years or so since he started killing." Hades looked up at Emily. "But if what you said about what happen just before the limo exploded that I think the winter soldier holds a key to learning of what happen to Steve and Bucky." When hades said that, that Emily realized he was right. There was a chance that the winter soldier could held a key of figuring out what happened to Steve or Bucky, maybe even both. Just than Persephone and Arabella came in, Emily picked up the files quickly bad put them in her jacket as Arabella came running over to Emily. When Arabella was close enough that Emily picked her up as Arabella held her hands up wanting to be picked up.

"Guess what, Emily."

"What?"

"Mommy and I went to Elysium to visit the spirits."

"Did you have fun?"

"Yes, I want to stay but Mommy said I have to come back." Arabella yawned and stretched her arms.

"Bedtime, Arabella." Emily walked out of the room, but Arabella started to whine as they let the throne room.

"But I want to stay up, Emily."

"You are tired, Arabella. I will read you a story when I put you to bed."

"Yay!" Arabella starting jumping up and down, or close to jumping up and down, in her arms. It didn't take long for Emily and Arabella to reach Arabella's room. By that point in time that Arabella yawned a couple of times, first Emily put Arabella on her bed before she pulled out the Grimm Brothers stories and sat next to Arabella of who cuddled up next to her. Sure with some of the stories that it shouldn't be told to a three year old or the darker versions of the stories like the one in Emily's hands. But Hades and Emily felt it was best to let Arabella know that life is not always fair and that there so tragedy, that everyone could have a fairytale ending that holds more true for demigods than mortals. However Emily did read Arabella few happy stories to let her know that there are a few exceptions of demigods of where they get a happy ending or have a better life than most other demigods. Even though Emily was unsure of what life holds for Arabella, Emily wanted to at least let Arabella have a happy childhood and an adult reading a storybook to a child was among the normal. So it was mix of both letting Arabella have a normal childhood, or as normal as can be, and preparing Arabella for the possible chance of having an unhappy demigod life.

While Emily read that Arabella fell asleep, once Arabella was asleep that Emily closed the books and kissed Arabella's forehead. Emily looked down at Arabella sleeping peacefully and so innocent, Emily was unsure of the last time she was able to sleep like that. Sure she hadn't had a nightmare in a long time but she was unsure of the last time she felt as innocent as Arabella was not or feel as peacefully as Arabella looked. The last time she could think of when Emily spelt like Arabella was now was the night before Emily realized something was wrong with her father. That was just after Bucky's mother died, ever since than, Emily didn't think she knew innocence or peace. For a time she was happy and thought that after the war she could feel, happy and safe but that disappeared when she last the two most important people in her life. But her could feel the hope instead of the news she got just before Arabella and Persephone entered. Emily knew she was getting closer of finding Steve and Bucky, her life would soon have some more happiness again. Emily brushed some of Arabella's red hair out of the way of her eyes and pulled the sheets around Arabella before she whispered to Arabella as to make sure not to wake her.

"Good night, little princess. I wished that you have a better life than I did. I know you are aware my life was not the best. But you don't know the full of it, for I have faced sorrow, killing, suffering, loss among many others. I even had to make choices that I regret doing, but it was either that or make sure that freedom was protected and the world was safe for people like you. So many times that I felt like I was killed, there were times when I felt like I could do nothing of what happened. I wish you have a better life and never have to face what I have. Even when you are aware of what I have done and what I have faced, I never want you to feel like you have to outdo me. For nothing will come it of it expect for sorrow, killing, suffering and loss. As long as you know you are loved and that you are happy of who you are, that I couldn't ask more from you." Emily got off the bed and put the book away before going to the door, Emily looked back at the sleeping form of Arabella. Emily carefully turned away and walked out of the door behind her and this closed the door behind her. As soon as Emily looked up that Hades stood there in front of her.

"Emily, there is something I need to tell you, something that can help you with taking down HYDRA once more."
