Emily couldn't help but smile as she went to Elysium, sure it had been a month since Howard died but for a change she could talk to him instead of keeping her distance like when he was alive. That was one reason she was smiling, other reason was because she has many hints to tell of what happen in the last month, good things. Unlike most of the time she comes to Elysium that Emily was in her birth appearance, for Howard never meet her in her other appearance before. Unlike when she went to find Lily and James that she didn't need to ask anyone of where Howard was. It didn't take her long to find Howard and his wife, Howard and his wife were outside of their house. Emily looked at the other houses and scoff when she notice that Howard's house in the underworld was right next to her birth father's house. Emily leaned back on the nearest house and watched Howard and Maria, at first neither one noticed Emily till Howard looked away and saw her standing there.

"Emily!" Howard got up from the chair he was in as well as Maria before Howard came over to her hugged. Emily had pushed away from the wall before Howard hugged her, after a minute that Emily pulled away from the hug. She noticed that Maria came over and she seem a bit unsure of what to make of this, Howard looked back at Maria. "Maria, this is Emily, or Lieutenant USA." Maria smiled slightly.

"Howard spoke of you and your brother often."

"I am sure he did." Emily looked back at Howard as he spoke.

"How did you die? I know it wasn't back in 1945." Emily giggled when Howard said that.

"I haven't die yet." Howard opened his mouth to say something but Emily spoke up. "I was adopted by Hades and we faked my death. Hecate helped with faking my death. I become an immortal and was given the titles of princess and heir of the underworld."

"You are a goddess now?"

"No, I am an immortal demigod at the moment, if Hades fades than yes I would be a goddess than. Due to being crown princess and heir that the moment Hades fades, that I will become a goddess. At the moment, the only time I can be killed is if I die in battle. As a goddes I would only be able to fade to die and I am not sure of what happens when a god or goddess fades." Howard looked around.

"Is Steve down here or even Bucky? I haven't see them around so I assume they are princes of the underworld."

"No and no." Howard and Maria looked at her oddly. "No, Bucky and Steve are not here. No, they are not princes of the underworld. The only thing I am sure of at the moment is that neither one of them are dead. Besides, I didn't came here to tell you about Bucky, Steve or myself and it would take time a while to tell you everything of what happen. Though you can talk to my birth father about what happen since you live next door to him. I also visit him often so I am sure you will see me from time to time." Emily nodded to the house on the right, Howard looked over at the house and smiled.

"That explains of why I first thought he was Steve. He looks much like Steve expect for being a little smaller but it is not by much." Howard paused for a moment. "So does that mean you are royal or something?"

"No, I am not royal or at least that is how I see it. For I wasn't raised to be the princess do the underworld or any country or kingdom, whichever one prefers."

"What brings you down here?"

"There is something I have to tell you. Phil, my half brother, and I have been starts to work on weeding out HYDRA in SHIELD. Though we need to be careful of how we are doing that. Not only that but in the last month that we found out that there are different fractions of HYDRA. Thanks to stumbling across some old friends that Project Demigod was reactivated to deal with HYDRA that is not connected to SHIELD. They are not part of SHIELD before you ask, they are more of a mix of what SHIELD was, or is, aiming for and how you remember it being. For demigods are being trained and we raid HYDRA but instead of just being one huge unit, there are several units with Phil and myself as the main leaders with Melinda, another demigod, and Robert as the seconds in command. However Melinda, Phil and myself would be taking care of the HYRDA agents in SHIELD since the three of us are SHIELD agents."

"You mean Phil Coulson and Melinda May?" Emily nodded, she figured that Howard would know who they were. "Let me guess, Melinda is a daughter of Ares."

"Yes and no." Howard raised any eyebrow. "If Melinda was a Greek demigod, than she would be but she is roman demigod and she was born a daughter of Mars, Ares's roman form."

"All right, but you are not a SHIELD agent." Emily giggled before she snapped her fingers and Howard jumped back in surprise as her appearance changed into her daughter of Hades appearance.

"Yes, I am. But my SHIELD file is Rachel Emily James Blackthrone. There is my Lieutenant USA file but no one at SHIELD knows that Rachel and Lieutenant USA are one in the same woman expect for Phil and only recently Melinda. Unless if you want to count yourself but you won't be dealing with SHIELD down here."

"True." Howard smiled lightly. "I am glad you started acting on what I told you as I was dying."

"You know I would, for HYDRA took away Steve and Bucky from me. Sure, they are not dead but I have seen them since 1945. It makes me mad that they are still alive while they manage to get rid of the ones who manages to delay them." Maria spoke up.

"Emily." Emily looked over at her. "Do you mind if we go inside and talk some more? Besides I want to hear more of what Howard did in the war."

"Gladly, what do you want to know?" Emily walked in the house with Maria, both of them had A sly smile while Howard had an expression on his face that clearly said, I am in trouble.

During the next year that Emily was rather busy but she managed to figure out a way to keep her busy life balanced. It helped a lot that Robert knew how to run Project Demigod and that Phil and Melinda also helped lead Project Demigod along with heir help with weeding out HYDRA in SHIELD. The three of them made sure that none of HYDRA knew what they were doing, so the tree of them trend carefully with SHIELD. It was a slow process with HYDRA but it beginning to be worth it, since Emily spent more time with Phil and Melinda. Not only that but she brought some demigods to Project Demigod that was fi they were not in America or come from America. As a result that a Project Demigod seem to have grown in that year, there still demigods that Emily took to Camp Halfblood or to the wolf house as well as going to Camp Jupiter. To her surprise that Emily was still able to keep up with her underworld princess duties, even with everything else going around her.

One thing she did was make Arabella a book, honestly Emily wasn't sure of why she even wrote the book in the first place. It was the story of her life before the war and she did drawings to show what happen as well, she even brought her time in project demigod and the wizarding war but she failed to mention Albus Dumbledore. Halfway though the book that she decided to give it to Arabella for a birthday present, one thing that Emily, Hades and Persephone have done was to show Arabella of what kind of life a demigod could, would or might have. The most sure thing that there would be a lot of tragedies in a demigod's life, when Emily brought up the book to Hades that he thought it would be a great idea for Arabella to have a book to show what a demigod's life might be like. Also Emily hoped it showed Arabella that she can be who meant to be and not to give up on what she set her mind to. Emily was glad of the fact that her brother taught her of how to draw, on the cover of the book was Emily, Steve, Bucky, Lauren, Colonel Phillips and the howling commandos. Emily was standing between Steve and Bucky with Colonel Phillips behind her, Lauren was on Steve's other side. The howling commandos stood behind them, In the drawing that Emily and Steve were wearing their formal brown uniforms as oppose to the uniforms they wear when in missions.

Emily looked at the drawing, she looked at face but she stare at Steve, Lauren and Bucky the longest. But she looked at Colonel Phillips last, she knows that Colonel Phillips was in hiding and was alive since she knows his secret. Hades was aware of his secret as well, however he knew before Emily became his daughter, she remembered of how worried Colonel Phillips was of being caught and die in the war. After meeting Minos that Emily made a promise to herself that she would judge Daedalus once he dies. For she knows Minos would give an unfair judgement on Daedalus, like he has done with many others but it would be more with Daedalus. There many times, more in the last year that Emily wanted to go and find him but she wasn't sure if that was a good idea for many questions would be raised if she found him and took him to Project Demigod. Emily managed to finish the one book a week before Arabella's birthday, Emily made sure the book was ready in the week that followed before she wrapped the night before Arabella's birthday.

When Arabella's birthday came around that she got a choker that become a bow and arrows along with a ring and a Stygian Iron sword. The weapons came with a promise that in the next year or two that Arabella would start training with them. First things first, Arabella was to train with her powers and start her education that she would have got if she was in the mortal world. When Arabella got to Emily's present that she was excited about the book, Arabella heard some things about Lieutenant USA and Captain America but she never saw any pictures of them. After opening the presents that Emily and Arabella spend the day together playing, she knows Hades and Persephone were watching them. In a way, playing with Arabella felt like she was playing with Steve or Phil but at the same time utterly different. Emily was unsure of why that was, sure she played with Lauren but it was mostly pranks or they were doing things around camp or on a quest with Gleeson along as their third. When it was time for bed as soon as Arabella started yawning, Emily took Arabella to her bedroom. Arabella went for the Grimm Brothers but Arabella spoke holding up the Lieutenant USA and Captain America book.

"Emily, can you read this instead?" Emily smiled lightly.

"Of course." Emily sat besides Arabella and took the book from her, she flapped a couple of pages till where she reached the part of where Steve and herself went to the HYDRA base to save the men of who would become the howling commandos. "They dropped from the plane, the trees caught them just before they could hit the ground. Carefully they made their way ... " Emily kept reading till Arabella fell asleep just as Steve jumped onto the other side of the metal walkway. Emily closed the book and carefully got off the bed before putting Arabella's new book on the shelf. Emily turned and looked at Arabella, Emily really hopes that Arabella won't feel like she has to live up to what Emily has done or even when she learns of who Emily really was.

Hades, their father, wanted to tell Arabella from the start but Emily said no, she want to do it sooner but Emily didn't feel ready to tell Arabella yet. Even with some of the wound she felt for about thirty years have healed in the last twenty years or so that the wound was still not fully healed. There times when Emily's was close of telling Arabella but she could never find the proper words to tell Arabella. There was times when Emily felt like her old self but hat was when she was raiding HYDRA bases in the last year. Emily went over to the door before she looked back at Arabella of who stirred a little like she realized that Emily wasn't there on the bed. Emily turned the lights off before she whispered softly to Arabella.

"Someday, I will tell you of what happened to Emily Barnes but not now for she is not ready to be known for some other people. Only a few learn of what happened to her and where she is though the few only learned because he found out before she was ready to tell them." Emily paused for a few moments. "I want you to know that I will always been for you as long as I am able to do so, I will always watch you and look out for you as you grow older. I will do what I can to protect you as well as help you train defend yourself as well as to fight, than one day we will fight stand by stand. When that day comes that it would be as equals and as sisters. So be brave little one, never give up and stand up for yourself. Be who you are meant to be."
