When they reappeared that they were standing at the edge of the tunnel on the side of Camp Jupiter. Unlike in New York, that the sun wasn't done fully year, it could still be seen as it went down. Jennifer, Jason, Reyna, Phil and Bucky let go of each other's hands, Jennifer, Jason and Reyna ran down towards Camp Jupiter and New Rome. Phil and Bucky were staring at what lay before them in disbelief, Emily walked over to them and took Bucky's hand. Bucky looked over at her, Phil just stared ahead at New Rome, Emily couldn't blame them for not believing of what they were seeing. For when Emily first day this camp and learned about it after being put through that test and Lupa giving her tattoo that Emily thought she was dreaming. After everything that she went through that she knows no one could blame her for thinking that all those years ago. Bucky squeezed her hand, Emily looked over at Bucky as he spoke.
"I thought this camp would look like Camp Halfblood." Emily looked at Camp Jupiter.
"When I learned about this camp shortly after I was adopted and put through similar training and test as the roman demigod that is what I thought." When Emily sisd that, Phil looked away and looked at her before he spoke.
"You have roman training? What kind of test were you put through?"
"The start of every roman demigod is at the wolf house, there Lupa's pack more or less attacked and I had to fight back or at least defend myself but not to kill. After a couple of minutes that Lupa decided I was worthy and trained me in the ways to a roman demigod, after that she explained to me of why she did that and why Hades, or Pluto, wanted to put through at. For he wanted me to be his ambassador here, but children of Pluto are considered bad luck, so he wanted to make sure that I could be trusted and that I was not bad luck. That is why I was put through that, after she explained that to me that she used the same method as every roman demigod goes through when they get their tattoos. Since Pluto is my father and Hestia is my patron that I have their symbols on the tattoo."
"What about Ceres?" Emily shook her head when Phil said that.
"As far as the Romans are concern that I am Rachel Blakcthrone, daughter of Hades and Champion of Hestia. They are unaware of the fact that I was adopted by Hades. Come on." Emily lead them over to Camp Jupiter, none of the Romans noticed at first Emily and the other two were there at first since they were asking Jason, Reyna and Jennifer about their quest. It wasn't until the two praetors came to talk to then that the Romans noticed Emily, Phil, and Bucky leaning against a building in the shadows. Hannah, one of the praetors, walked over to Emily as Emily stepped out of the shadows. Hannah looked at phil and Bucky before she looked at Emily and spoke.
"Who are this two?"
"James Barnes, son of Auster, and Phil Coulson, son of Ceres."
"They are former legionnaires?"
"No, this is the first time they been to this camp, however I did gave them training though." It was true, but Emily wasn't going to tell Hannah of how and when they got their training.
"How did you meet them?"
"Well, a couple of monsters were chasing them and I came across them during that. I started training them and they been helping me make sure the demigods get to the wolf house to start their journey." Hannah merely nodded when Emily said that.
"Will you be spending the night?"
"Yes." Hannah nodded but didn't say anything instead she turned and gesture for Jason, Reyna, and Jennifer to follow her. As Jennifer, Jason and Reyna followed Hannah that the Romans went back to what they were doing expect for one, Hazel. Hazel ran over to Emily and hugged her, Emily hugged her back, Bucky and Phil walked over to Emily as Hazel pulled away from the hug.
"I haven't seen you six months, where have you been?"
"Sorry, I was rather busy. I had a hard time coming for a visit." Phil than spoke.
"That would be an understatement." Emily looked over at him.
"Anything in the demigod world can be called an understatement. But true that is a bit understatement. However, there are some things in my life that I can't explain to her." Emily paused for a moment. "Bucky, Phil, I want you to meet Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto." Bucky and Phil looked at Emily shocked, both Phil and Bucky know she has Arabella as a younger sister and were aware that she has a younger brother from Hades. But she never told them that she has two more younger sisters in his roman form. Hazel looked at Phil and Bucky before looking at Emily.
"Are you just going to spend the night or are you goi to stay longer?" Emily shrugged when Hazel said that.
"I don't know but I will let you know in the morning." Hazel walked away from them, as soon as she was out of ear shot that Bucky spoke.
"So you have four siblings from your father?" Emily turned and looked at Bucky.
"Yes. All of them younger than me." Phil was about ready to say something when paled suddenly, Emily was confused of why he become pale. "What?" Phil nodded behind Emily, Emily turned around and gasp, for just standing outside of earshot of was a woman a few years younger than Phil. She has brown hair and she was wearing a blue dress with black sweater over it, even though Emily couldn't see her eyes that she knows that they were brown. The woman turned and ran towards New Rome, as she ran to New Rome that Phil spoke.
"How come you didn't tell me she was a roman?"
"That is because I didn't know myself, otherwise, I would have mention the Romans sooner."
"Who was that?" Emily looked over at Bucky of who looked confuse,d she forget that Bucky didn't know that Phil was dating anyone and that Phil's girlfriend thought he was dead till now.
"Aubrey Nathan, Phil'z former girlfriend."
"You two broke up or something?"
"Actually what happened was Loki stabbed Phil in the back and if I hadn't used the potions that Severus gave me and used my healing abilities that Phil would have dead. However Phil did asked for his friends and family to think he was dead."
"Yes, but I was planning on bringing Aubrey to SHIELD headquarters and live with me but SHIELD already gave her the news of my supposed death. Since than I had to keep my distance from her." Emily looked at Phil.
"But she knows that you are alive now."
"Yeah." Phil looked over at Emily. "Can you go and talk to her?"
"No."
"Come on, what am I suppose to tell her?" Emily shrugged when Phil said that, she patted his back.
"Anything you can think of, CAJ."
"CAJ." Emily looked back at Bucky.
"That's Arabella's nickname for him or a shorten version of the nickname of which is Captain America Junior." Bucky looked at Phil before looking at Emily.
"Did he get that because he is your younger brother as well as Steve's?"
"No, he got it because of Aubrey." Bucky raised an eyebrow when Emily said that. "Remember the day when we went to talk to Howard about the armor, weapons and such."
"Where the blond started that kiss with Steve? What of it?" Emily nodded to Phil.
"Aubrey repeated that, I was in the room when it happened but just minus the shield and the shooting." Bucky smiled when Emily said that and shook his head.
"Is it common for that to happen to children of Demeter to be kissed that way?"
"Just the sons or at least it seems to be that way."
"What about you?"
"I wasn't wearing a tie when I kissed anyone. Besides it's not uncommon for a guy to kiss a girl first." Emily hasn't admit that the only man she ever kissed was Bucky, plus she figured Bucky would assume that she kissed another guy at camp before he kissed her. Emily than looked back at Phil. "Have fun explaining things to her for I am not going to get roped into that." Phil rolled his eyes, Phil went running towards of where aubrey went to while Emily and Bucky walked to her house that was in Camp Jupiter.
Phil's pov
He ran as fast as he could, he hoped Emily would help him with this for he wasn't sure what to tell Aubrey. He was sure Emily was aware of this, but she also know him well enough to know that he never exactly had a girlfriend. Having a crush on a girl, yes, but dating a girl and having a girlfriend was different. He was sure that Emily wanted him to learn on to deal with something like this if he finds himself in another mess like this in the future. Besides he knows Emily has little to do with what happened after he woke up from that coma. After a while that he managed to spot Aubrey sitting close to the lake her arms were wrapped her legs and her head was between her knees like she has been crying. Phil walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder, aubrey jumped up suddenly before turning around. It was clear that she had been crying form the tear stains on her cheeks, Phil bit his tongue wondering of what he should say or do. Before he could say or do anything that aubrey stepped forward and slapped him across the face. Phil rubbed his geek and looked at her.
"What was that for?"
"For not telling me that you were alive."
"I am sorry about that, half of that was my fault. Partly for trying to take on a norse god and asking Director Fury to only tell my friends and family at I was dead after waking up from a coma after that event happened. Honestly I didn't expect SHIELD to inform you of that for I was going to come and get you so we could be together." Aubrey looked hurt but it was clear that she was having a hard time believing him.
"How can I been sure that is what happened?"
"I swear on the river Styx that is what happened, that I was in the coma and that I was coming to get you only to learn of what you were told that I was dead and that I had to keep my distance." There a clap of thunder overheard, neither one moved for a minute than Aubrey basically ran at him before she wrapped her arms around his neck and started to cry into his shoulder. Phil put his arms around her as she spoke into his shoulder and she kept hitting his other shoulder with her one hand.
"Do you know what it was when I was told that you were dead? I couldn't stop crying. It was difficult to move on from that, when I was just starting to move on that you show up here." Phil held her tight and he spoke softly.
"I know, I am sorry for putting you through that. I made sure that I knew where you were at all times even if I couldn't be there. Even with how much I wanted to be there for you." After a few more minutes that Aubrey finally stopped crying, Phil didn't dare say anything while aubrey was crying. After another couple minutes of silence that aubrey spoke.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were demigod?" Phil wasn't sure of how to answer that question, he was about ready to say something when a voice behind him spoke.
"You may as well tell her the whole truth." Phil let go of Aubrey and turned around, Aubrey grasp his hand as he turned around. A woman stood there, she was rather tall and majestic, her brown eyes were oddly languishing. Her hair was blond but it was more of a pale yellow, there was a garland of poppies on top of her head. There was dried dress braided into the garland as well as in her hair, there was a couple of poppies in her hair as well. Her complexion was fair but there was a slight tan color almost like she was barley starts to go outside more. She was wearing a bright green dress and a black cape. However the image flicker, suddenly the garland disappeared along with the poppies. Instead of the bright green dress she was wearing a wheat golden dress and her skin was more tanned. Her blond hair was more of a normal blond color instead of a pale yellow color, there was an curved imperial gold sword on her belt. "Considering the fact that you two been dating for a few years that this was bound to come out."
"How come you never said anything? Not only didn't your brother try to do anything about it?"
"He was going to, but due to your sister that there was nothing he couldn't do. Or at least she was part of it, the other part was because of the bond you two share and it was something that the goddess of love couldn't break." It was than Aubrey that spoke up.
"You are Ceres, Phil's mother." Phil's mother looked at her.
"That is my roman name, child." Aubrey looked between his mother and Phil.
"What do you mean?" His mother looked at Phil before she spoke.
"I will let you explain it to her." In a green light that his mother disappeared, Phil looked over at Aubrey of who looked utterly confused.
"Aubrey, before I explain, I need you to swear on the river Styx that you won't tell anyone." Aubrey sweated on the river Styx, it was than that he told her of what he could and that he was a greek demigod. Aubrey was surprised and shock, when he finished that he thought that she was going to hate him, instead she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. When she pulled away that she spoke.
"Son of Demeter or son of Ceres, it doesn't matter. I still love you." Phil smiled lightly, Aubrey took his hand before leading him over to the borders of New Rome.
Emily's pov
Emily wasn't surprised by the fact that Phil hadn't come to the ambassador house last night, during dinner last night at the mess hall that she told Phil of where her house was. Aubrey was there with Emily, Bucky and Phil, she told them that she already the offer to let Phil stays with her at the house she has in New Rome. Of which didn't surprise Emily one bit, when Emily and Bucky left her house that she took Bucky to New Rome and showed him around. Bucky also got to know Hazel and Jennifer as well, it was during that time that Emily revealed the truth to Hazel and Jennifer and explained to them of why she didn't tell them sooner about how she was. She also asked them not to tell anyone, of which they were fine with, thankfully the fatal flaw of a child of Pluto was different as oppose to a chick of Hades so neither Jennifer or Hazel held a grudge against her for not telling them about her secret sooner.
It was also during that time at she confided in Bucky and Jennifer about coming back to life. Bucky and Hazel bonded quickly after that since they both lived in that same time period. As the three of them spoke about the 1930s and 1940s that Emily noticed Jennifer walking a little ways from Emily, Bucky and Hazel. Emily quickly got up from where she was sitting in the garden of Bacchus and walked over to Jennifer do who was looking down at New Rome. Emily knows Jennifer has her own secret and Jennifer confided in Emily not to long ago about her own secret. Emily knows that Jennifer was worried if someone would found out about her secret, not that it was the first time that this happened. But if anyone found out about Jennifer's secret that her life would become much more difficult for her, more so than it would be for Hazel.
"Still worried about that secret?" Jennifer nodded and whispered so that Emily could only here.
"It's not easy, to be a third generation of a legacy of hades and being a daughter of Pluto. It would be worse if people learn about that. I feel that I have the worst luck ever." Emily put her arms around Jennifer's shoulders snd spoke softly.
"Jennifer, a demigod's life is always a hard one. No one knows better than me, expect for a couple of other demigods that become gods or immortals. But I am one of the few that understand of how hard a demigod's life is. Being a legacy and a demigod is not unheard of, you were not the first demigod to be a legacy as well."
"First to be a legacy and child of the same God."
"There is another, but the other one is your cousin and a jerk. So we can cross him off the list." Jennifer smiled slightly when Emily said that for Jennifer knew who she means, it was not the first time Emily referred to their one cousin as such. After a while that the four of them left the garden, Emily and Bucky found Phil and Aubrey outside of a cafe. Phil didn't want to leave and Aubrey didn't want phil to leave either. Not that she could blame them but Emily and Bucky need to go back to the tower and Phil would have to go back to the playground. Plus Emily would have to go down to the underworld half of the time, true she might have her own bedroom in the underworld but she was unsure if Bucky could handle being in the underworld. She knows Hades doesn't mind if she would stay in the underworld during the day and go to the tower at night. It was only after Phil promising to see aubrey in Portland or in New Rome and not to do another fake death on her that Emily, Phil and Bucky left Camp Jupiter.
