Children of the past (rewritten) Chapter 13, a Percy Jackson and the Olympians + Avengers Crossover fanfic

Bucky's pov

After leaving the museum that Bucky just wander aimlessly. He was unsure of what to do now, the only thing he could think of was to go back to Emily. But he was unsure if he could face her after what happened, after a month of roaming around that he decided to go to some of the HYDRA bases to destroy them or at least the ones he knows about at any rate. For the next month that was all he did, or he managed to take down some of the more important people in HYDRA that he was aware of. There was this one base in Germany that he decided to go to, for he knew it was one of the bases he went to as the winter soldier for recovery. He needed to destroy that base, for there things that needed to be destroyed and it was something still standing from his time as the winter soldier. Bucky wanted to get rid of everything connected to the winter soldier, he wish that he could get rid of his memories of what he did as the winter soldier. But he couldn't, there was no way, while there was a way but he would lose his other memories as well. Besides there was no way he would be able to go down there unless if he dies and it would be pointless by that point.

As Bucky entered the base that he could hear fighting and he quickly made his way towards the sounds but kept hidden. When he reached the fighting that he saw HYDRA fighting with people he didn't know. He watched as some of them started to display powers that reminded of what Emily could do and something he discovered that he could do since he become the winter soldier. He wasn't sure of how he was able to use the powers since it seems that only a demigod could do it unless if there was some sort of serum that HYDRA added while he was knocked out as they made him into the winter soldier. But somehow he doubted that HYDRA had anything to do with the powers he learned that he has now. It made him wonder if he was a demigod, if he was one than why didn't the monsters go after him and who was his godly parent. As Bucky watched from the shadows that heard a voice in his head that belongs to a male, a voice he never heard before.

'Bucky, listen to me. You need to get to Emily.' Bucky looked around when he heard the voice as it it went on. 'Bucky, I will reveal myself to you later. But you need to get to Emily now! I will show you where to go.' Suddenly an image showed in his head and he went running towards the scene, when he reached the area that he saw Emily on the ground with a bullet hole in her leg that was healing but it kept on the floor long enough for the man to sense in front of her and he spoke. After he spoke that he turned the gun around and hit her across the head, as Emily started to pass out. Bucky ran out from where he was as the man turned the gun around to kill Emily, he pulled a gun from his forearm belt mad shoot at the man in the back, the man gasp and turned around to face Bucky as Bucky went running over to them. The man gasp one last time before he fell forward, as he fell that Bucky shouted. "Emily!" Just after he said that, that Emily's head hit the floor and passed out, Bucky stopped right besides Emily before picking her up and carried her out of the HYDRA base.

As soon as Bucky left the HYDRA base that he managed to make his way into the nearest town carrying Emily. He climbed into one of the smaller planes and put Emily in the passenger seat before taking off, he didn't pay any heed to the people over the radio when they called out to him. He turned the radio off when the started to yell at him, after a few hours that he landed in one of the smaller airports in New York City. Once he landed that he carried Emily down before he left the airport quietly and quickly, thankfully to his many years as the winter soldier that he was able to move as he does. When he reached the apartment building that he carried Emily up the stairs in his arms, it was the apartment building he use to live in just before USA entered the war as well as during. No one lives there anymore but it was still in good condition when Bucky came here a month ago. When he reached the apartment he lived in at he managed to open the door and carried Emily inside. He carried to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed, Bucky looked down at Emily.

He knows that her wounds heal quickly being a demigod and that nectar and Ambrosia helps with that. But she was totally healed now, from what he understood when Emily told him of the demigod world that it shouldn't have taken this short amount of time to heal those wounds. But Emily was still passed out though, Bucky sat down next to Emily before placing his flesh hand on her cheek. Her skin felt just as soft as he remembers, considering of everything that she has been through that he was surprised of how soft her skin. Thinking of it, that her skin seems even more soft than he remembers of which was odd but he wasn't going to complain about it. He looked up and down her to see what changes happened to her since he fell from the train. There wasn't very much between when he fell till he saw her again on the Helicarrier. Her hair was still blond but it was a few shades later but it also seems slightly washed out like she spent a lot of time insides or underground. Her skin was still slightly tanned but there seem to be a slightly hint of paleness in her skin. But she was still built like a warrior or athlete, someone who has been in training for a long time, but he noticed that Emily seem to grown more into her build.

It was like she hadn't been training for very long when Bucky saw her again after about fourteen years even though she had be in training for the years by that point. While he was carrying her up here that he noticed something else about her, that was her smell. When they were kids that Bucky hardly noticed her smell but thinking about it that he could smell flowers coming from Emily no matter if it was outside or inside. That smell remained with her even after he saw her again after fourteen years, however he could smell nature coming from her as well. But now, there other smells coming from her, among them was homemade cooking and cinnamon. He moved his hand started running through her hair, her hair was just as soft and silky as he remembers. Bucky sighed before he got off of the bed and went into the living room. He hoped that Emily would wake up soon, even with how much he wanted to be there when she wakes up, he wasn't sure if that would be a good ide?

Emily's pov

As Emily started to regain consciousness that she know something happened, she was unsure if it was good or bad. She knows laying on a bed, but she was unsure if she was in a cell or not, maybe someone from project demigod found her and took her to the tower. For the bed felt too soft to be in a cell, unless if HYDRA decided to go easy on her or may try to do something to her like they did with Bucky. Panicked spread through her when she thought of that, if they decided to tase her that she could end up like Bucky and no God would be able to see or find her. Emily shifted as she woke up more, Emily could hear noise as she woke up more, considering she spent a fair amount of time in New York that she knows when she hears it. Emily opened her eyes slowly, the first two thoughts that entered her mind was that she was thrown back in time or SHIELD was pulling a joke on her of which was unlikely. If it was SHIELD than they wouldn't have put her in a 1940s room, she would be in the avenger tower.

For Emily knows the bedroom all too well, for she been in this bedroom a fair amount of time. More so near the end of the war in Europe, the walls were beige and there posters on the walls from the 1940s. There were pictures on the nightstand of her wedding as well as other pictures from her childhood, camp and the war. Emily sat up before getting off the bed, than she walked over to a window and pulled the curtains back. Emily sighed in relief in the fact that she wasn't thrown back in time. For New York looked the same as it always did as the sun rose, she could see the Avenger tower from here as well as the old SHIELD headquarters. Emily was confused for the last thing she remembered doing was attacking the one HYDRA base before she was knocked out. She remembered someone shooting at the man who tried to kill but her vision was so fuzzy and she was so close of blacking out that she wasn't sure of who that was. As Emily stood there looking at the scene before that she hardly noticed that the bedroom door opened till she heard someone behind her.

"You're awake." Emily turned around, Bucky was standing in the doorway of the bedroom. He was wearing a brown pull over shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes, however his hair was still brown and was to his shoulders. The small beard he had last time she saw him was still there but it was a little longer now than it was before. His eyes were blue, more sky blue than she remembers, Emily stood there at the window looking at him. His skin was slightly tanned, it also looked like if he went through some rough tough when he become the winter soldier. She was unsure of what to say or do, for there a million things she wanted to say to him. Even since she learned that he was alive that she thought of the things to say to him as well as to tell him. But with learning of what has become of him just tossed out of what she planned to say to him when she found him. For over ten years she tried to figure out the puzzle of the winter soldier, she has many ideas of what could have made the winter soldier the way he was.

Emily hoped for the one theory of where she was pretty close of guessing and it was confirmed two months ago when Natasha gave Steve and Emily that file. Bucky was looking at her, Bucky looked like if becoming the winter soldier nearly broke him. There was a lot of pain and loneliness in his eyes but she could see the happiness, joy and love them in them. Emily was unsure of which of the two of them had it the worst in the last seventy years, though it was more likely Bucky. If Steve and Lauren counted in what happened in the last seventy years, that Steve and Bucky would be tied. Since Bucky was an assassin for about fifty years and Steve was asleep for almost seventy years. It seem Bucky just as unsure of what to say as well as Emily, he glanced around the room once before he looked back at her. He finally managed to say something.

"What happened to you after I fell off the train? I mean you are like suppose to be in your eighties."

"I am ninety one, Bucky. You are ninety three. Of what happened to me, that is a long story, seventy years worth of a story."

"You look no older than twenty two. How is that possible?" Emily smiled slightly.

"Bucky, I am an immortal so I can't age than where I am now." Bucky lowered his head, Emily walked over to him and put her hand on his cheek, he looked up at her. "Bucky, it's not like you can't be an immortal either. I am sure the howling commandos would be glad to see you again."

"They are alive as well?" Emily lowered her hand form his check.

"Yes, they are immortal as well. They been helping trying to keep peace and freedom alive, more so in war time. However you have to ask them about that since I had no idea what they been doing till a few months ago in May. Of which was a couple of weeks after Steve was pulled out of the ice. I have to admit that when Nick found out that I was Emily Barnes that it was funny."

"Nick?"

"Nick Fury, former director of SHIELD." Bucky merely nodded when Emily said that.

"How did you become immortal?"

"It came along with be adopted by one of the other gods, that was mostly because I become the heir to their domain and I would take their place if they should fade." Bucky looked slightly confused when Emily said that, she was sure that was mainly because she didn't tell him if which God adopted her.

"Which God adopted you?"

"Hades, God of the dead and underworld." When Emily said that, that Bucky raised an eyebrow.

"May I asked of why Hades adopted you?"

"Apparently he has been watching me my whole as well as Steve. As a result he started to think of both Steve and myself as his children. After he war in Europe ended and I lost you and Steve that he made the offer to me of being adopted by him and it was also around the same time when I become the champion of Hestia. I accepted both, now, I live half of my time rescuing or helping demigods and the half of my time in he underworld."

"Why did you live half of time in the underworld? Did you eat the food of the dead or something?"

"No, it was what Hades and I agreed on when I was adopted." Emily lowered her head just before Bucky spoke.

"You knew than that Steve and I were not dead?"

Bucky's pov

Bucky was sitting in the living room, he spent the last couple of days sleeping on the couch. He mainly did that because Emily was still passed out, if this was after the war and he didn't fall off of the train, than he would be sleeping next to her. He is aware that thus are still legally married but with everything that has happen that he felt that if Emily wakes up when he was sleeping next to her might freak her out or something. If it wasn't for what happened a couple of months ago that he would have slept in the bed. But after that happened that he wasn't sure of how Emily will react to him or even when she wakes up. As Bucky sat there that he heard movement from the bedroom, he looked to the door before he got up and walked over to the door. When he opened the door that he saw Emily standing at the window with the curtains open. Bucky looked at the view, it was odd to see the view that it has now and how different it looks compare to how it was in the1940s.

"You're awake." Emily turned around and looked at him, her eyes were still blue but was slightly washed out, there was sadness in her eyes as well as happiness and the mischief gleam in her eye that he got so use to seeing as well as like to see. Bucky was u sure of what else to say or do, it seems Emily was the same way as well, after he minute he looked away and glanced around the room once before he looked back at Emily.

"What happened to you after I fell off the train? I mean you are like suppose to be in your eighties."

"I am ninety one, Bucky. You are ninety three. Of what happened to me, that is a long story, seventy years worth of a story."

"You look no older than twenty two. How is that possible?" Emily smiled slightly.

"Bucky, I am an immortal so I can't age than where I am now." Bucky lowered his head, Bucky could hear Emily walked over to him than she put her hand on his cheek, he looked up at her. "Bucky, it's not like you can't be an immortal either. I am sure the howling commandos would be glad to see you again."

"They are alive as well?" Emily lowered her hand from his check.

"Nick?"

"Nick Fury, former director of SHIELD." Bucky merely nodded when Emily said that, he remembers that was the mission he had before his mission to kill Steve, Natasha and Emily. He still couldn't believe that she sent him to kill his own wife and best friend, he was still pissed off about that.

"How did you become immortal?"

"It came along with be adopted by one of the other gods, that was mostly because I become the heir to their domain and I would take their place if they should fade." Bucky looked slightly confused when Emily said that, he wondered of who adopted her, he figured the immortality bit was because the God named Emily their heir.

"Which God adopted you?"

"Hades, God of the dead and underworld." When Emily said that, that Bucky raised an eyebrow. He knows she was a du anger of Demeter and Hades was the last God he would think of that would adopt Emily.

"May I asked of why Hades adopted you?"

"Why did you live half of time in the underworld? Did you eat the food of the dead or something?"

"No, it was what Hades and I agreed on when I was adopted." Emily lowered her head just before Bucky spoke.

"You knew than that Steve and I were not dead?"

"Yes, it was difficult knowing for seventy years that information and not really knowing of what happened to either one of you. Though I did learn that Steve went into the ice before he was found but I had no idea of where he was. I had no idea about you. I was aware of the winter soldier, it's hard not to know about that and I had guesses of what could have happen as well as that the winter soldier could have been someone I know. But I never gave much thought that it was you." As Emily spoke that he walked over to her and put his arms around her, when she finished that she put her head on his shoulder and started to cry. Bucky held Emily close as she cried, he couldn't begin to think of what the last seventy years or so have been like for Emily. Not knowing about Steve or himself or where they were, about the only thing she seem to know that they were not dead. Bucky did his best to calm her down, but he also trying to be carefully of not to hold Emily too tight with his metal arm. After a while that Emily stopped crying and touched the metal arm even though there was a sleeve over it.

"I am sorry, Emily. So sorry what I put you through." Emily held him tighter.

"It's not your fault, Bucky. I managed to make it through without going insane." Bucky smiled lightly when Emily said that. He thought if when he last saw her and the girl that was with her, Bucky thought of what Emily said to the girl.

"Emily, who was that girl that was with you that came out of the forest?"

"That girl was Arabela Evans, daughter of Hades and my half sister. She was raised in the underworld, we become close over the years and become sisters. Though she only found out a few years ago about who I was and wasn't happy that I kept it a secret for so long. But I wasn't ready to tell her when she found out." Bucky held Emily closer to him, he never wanted to leave her again and he wasn't sure of what might happen if he really dies. Sure she could came and talk to him in the underworld but there was a chance it could cause Emily more pain this what she felt in the last seventy years. Before Bucky could say anything that Emily spoke. "Bucky?"

"Yeah?"

"How long have I been out?"

"Two days."

"On my gods." Emily lifted her head from his shoulder. "Steve and Phil would be going crazy." Emily than put her hand into one of her pockets as Bucky spoke.

"Who is Phil?"

"He is Steve's and my half brother. He is also the biggest Captain America fan boy on the face of the planet, maybe even beyond." Bucky chuckled when Emily said that.

"Let me guess, he was happy when he learned he was related to Steve?"

"I thought he was going to die and go to Elysium. He was also just as big of a Lieutenant USA fan but he got so used to me being around, after he learned about me being alive that he is not as big as he use to be. He thinks me more of a sister than he does of Steve being a brother." Emily than pulled out what looked like a wireless phone, he saw that phone before and was confused by it.

"What is that?" Emily raised an eyebrow.

"You have been the winter soldier for fifty years and you never saw a cell phone?" Bucky shook his head.

"I was only informed of how different things looked to get from place to place and the latest guns and weapons."

"I guess Steve is not the only one that has catching up to do." Emily opened the phone and started to punch in numbers, after a minute the phone ringing that Emily spoke into the phone as she put her head on his shoulder again. Bucky could hear someone on the other end telling her off, some of it sounded like greek and he could understand the greek. But the end of the conversation that the man seem happy, this Emily hung up, when she put the phone back in her pocket that he spoke.

"Who was that you were talking to?"

"Phil, he wasn't thrilled of the fact it took two days for me to call him back, apparently you tried to answer it at some point. At least I am going to assume it was you." Bucky smiled when Emily sisd that, yes he remembers that, that was shortly after he brought Emily here. He pulled the phone out of her pocket before he accepted the call, it freaked him up and he dropped it. Than Bucky put the phone back into her pocket at that and didn't answer any more calls after that.

"Emily, I am wondering, is it possible that I am a demigod?"

"It is rather likely after the couple of fights that happened, I think your godly parent prevented you from using your powers till you fell from the train and fell from sight of the gods."

"Couple of fights, the into fight there was on the Helicarrier."

"When Hades adopted me that I gained a second appearance and we fought in when I was in that second appearance." Bucky bought back to the fight in the bridge, that he remembers that black hair woman that could use fire. He managed to absorb the fire from the fireball she sent on him.

"The fireball lady, that was you?" Bucky looked at Emily as she nodded her head. "I don't remember you being able to do that." Emily laughed.

"Bucky, you only ever saw me use the powers I got from my mother." Bucky smiled slightly when Emily said that.

"Well, who do you think my godly parent is?"

"From the powers displayed, I think Notus is your godly parent. It makes the most sense."

"What is he the God of?"

"South wind and summer, his children have power over fire and wind." Emily nuzzled her face into his neck, Bucky held Emily close to him. Bucky thought of what Emily just said, he remembered in the last couple of months that a light appeared over his head. There was a wreath of withering smoking barely over his head, he remembered what Emily said about claiming and was confused at that moment. Thinking on it that it was clear that his father claimed him shortly after his memory returned.

"Emily." Emily lifted her head from his shoulder, Bucky took her hands before leading her into the living room.
