The next few months, life went on as normal for a demigod could get. It wasn't till November 1st that the unexpected had happen, of which was Zeus closed down Olympus. Not only that but Dionysus was recalled back to Olympus, it was weird for it was clear something was going on. Everyone could tell something was very wrong, Emily had no idea of what was wrong or at least not totally. But she had a few guesses of what was happening, one that Zeus was being annoying and stupid. However he seemed stupid and annoying most of the time, there times when he wasn't though. But she would never say that to his face, but that reason was unlikely. For there other things she noticed, for starters, she could feel the earth stirring under her. It scared and worried her, her other half siblings noticed it, even Steve noticed it and he didn't know how to use his powers fully yet.

A couple of days after the closing of Olympus that Emily decided on something, that she needed to talk to her adopted father, Hades. Out of all the gods that there was a good chance that she would be able to talk to Hades, for the underworld couldn't run without the Lord of the dead being present. She wasn't sure of what was happening but something awful was coming, that much was clear. Emily has a feeling that history was going to repeat itself and soon, she wasn't sure which part of history would be repeated. She wasn't sure of which point of history it was, but she was sure that history was going to repeat itself. There was some guesses of what history it was but Emily hoped beyond hope it wasn't so. For it meant two things for sure, it could mean the end of the world and the prophecy of the eight was going to come to pass. As Emily reached the elevator that a voice behind her spoke and she had turned as the voice spoke.

"Where are you going?" It was Tony. Emily bit her lip, Tony knows that she was a demigod, all of the avengers knows that fact, they also know that Steve was one as well. The avengers also found it funny that one of the powers that a child of Demeter was to cook and that Steve knows how to cook because of that simple fact. However only Arabella, Lauren, Bucky and Steve knew about Emily being an adopted daughter of Hades and champion of Hestia. Tony knows she has a second appearance and know that in her second appearance that she was a demigod. After a minute, that Emily figured out what to tell Tony.

"I am going to the underworld."

"You mean Hades?" Emily nodded when Tony said that. "But why?"

"I needed to talk to him and he is about the only one that I can mostly likely talk to." Tony walked forward towards Emily and spoke softly.

"He would kill you, with the feud between him and your mother."

"I will be fine."

"How can you been so sure on this that he won't kill you!" Emily was taken back a little bit by this, Emily knows that Tony did care of what happened to all of the avengers. But she never seen him so serious as he was now expect for when he was working on his suits. He was always be sarcastic and joke around when he is around the other avengers.

"I am sure because there is something I never told any of the other avengers other than Steve and Arabella, unless if you count Lauren and Bucky. The point is that Hades adopted me, made me princess of the underworld and heir to the underworld. He never hates me for being a daughter of Demeter, if he did he would have hated Persephone as well. Besides that is the source of their feud." Tony looked surprised when Emily said that she was adopted by Hades and he looked at her carefully, Emily raised an eyebrow and than he spoke.

"I thought if one gets adopted by a god that you gain their traits, like hair color or something, from the god as well as their powers."

"I did get traits from him as well as the powers. You saw me use them before. You also saw my second appearance."

"When?"

"During both battles of Manhattan. I was using the shadows and darkness. I had used hellfire as well as fire in both battles. The appearance you saw me when I was with Phil when you ask me about being Lieutenant USA. That appearance was the one that came with the adoption, usually gaining a second appearance doesn't happen when a god adopts another demigod."

Before Tony could say anything that Emily ran into a shadow and disappeared before reappeared just inside the gates. As soon as she was in the garden that she knew something was wrong, some dreadfully wrong. She couldn't quite place it, it might be because Persephone wasn't down here in the underworld. But that simple fact shouldn't have brought that dreadfully feeling that things were out of control. Emily walked into the palace before she entered the throne room, as soon as Emily entered that she saw Hades with a map of the underworld on the floor. Of which was odd since he never does that unless if he really has to, the only other time she saw that happen was when the sword of Hades was taken. Emily remained ready when that happen just in case if the three couldn't do or finish the quest. Emily walked over to where Hades and the map were before she grasp when she looked down at the map.

For she could the different sprits of the underworld, some were rebelling while others were walking out of different doors. It seems like the furies were having a hard time controlling the rebellion in the field of punishments. She noticed that a few of them managed to get out and though one of the many open doors. Emily was confused, why wasn't Thanatos helping with the spirits, keeping the doors closed and to make sure the doors remained closed. She couldn't see Thanatos anywhere on the map or anything to tell her that he was patrol between the two worlds, living and death. She knows that Thanatos was important like she was important to help run the underworld and make sure the spirits get to where they need to, along with a lot more. When Emily grasp that Hades looked up at her, he looked a couple of decades older than he usually does of which scared and worried her. But he looked happy to see her, he always does, but it seemed like he was even more happier to see her than usual.

"Emily, I am glad to see you are here."

"Father, what has been happening?" He sighed when Emily had said that.

"The dead is going out of the control."

"How is that possible with Thanatos on patrol and the furies?"

"Thanatos has been captured and chained."

"What about his doors?"

"I am not sure of where they are at the moment but Thanatos doesn't have any control over the doors any more, not since his capture." Emily bit her lip when Hades said that. If the doors were not controlled by Thanatos than who was using the doors than, not only that but what about Nico or Arabella. Did they know about this yet, Arabella was still at school, and Nico, who knows what Nico was doing. True that they were brother and sister and get along but she doesn't know what he does half of the time.

"Does Arabella or Nico know about this?"

"I haven't been able to talk to Arabella about this but Nico is aware of it. He is doing patrol right now, but it is still not enough."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Help Nico or the furies." Emily started to walk out but stopped and turned to face Hades once more.

"Father." Hades looked back up at her. "Why was Olympus closed?"

"Because your uncle is an idiot."

"I know that, so does Lauren and he is her father. But why did he close it?"

"The earth is waking." Emily closed her eyes, that explained a lot to Emily. Of why she could feel the earth moving more than it should and why at times it seems the earth tries to grab her but was unable to do so since she was the daughter of Demeter and Hades. Emily opened her eyes and looked at her adopted father.

"Are you sure on that?"

"Yes. I believe she has gained control of the doors somehow." Emily wondered where the door was now and who might be going though it.

"How did she do that?"

"I am not sure but she is using them and she is also making other entrances. Just from the looks of things. You better get going." Emily quickly left the palace and started helping Hades with doing her best to make sure no spirits left the underworld and closed any gaps. It was harder than it seems, it was difficult of trying to fill in a gap or send the spirits back. She could only close the doors for so long before they open back up again, of which was annoying. For the next month or so that was pretty much all Emily did as well as Nico, she was unable to even visit the avenger tower. The only ones she was able to talk to were Hades and Nico, during that time that Emily and Nico managed to bond more. During that one moth that Emily was sure that the others were getting worried about her, she couldn't blame them either. During that time that Hades told Arabella of what was happening but told her to stay at Hogwarts. After a really long day that Emily and Nico managed to dragged themselves to the palace. Just as they entered the gardens that Nico spoke.

"You know, if I hadn't spend much of my time down here in the last couple of years, I would wondered if this was normal for the underworld."

"Thankfully this isn't normal."

"That I am glad of."

"So am I." Just as they reached the doors that the doors opened and Hades come out, he looked a little younger but not by much though.

"You two have been busy."

"Yeah, I wasn't even sure I could walk this far."

"I know I could but the question was would I be able to get the bedroom." Hades smiled when Emily said that.

"Nico, you may as well go get some rest while I try to fill more of the gaps." Nico shuffled inside the palace before Hades looked over at Emily. "You may as well go back to the avenger tower." Emily nodded and ran at a shadow, she disappeared and appeared on the ground level of the avenger tower. As she walked to the elevator that J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke up.

"Good evening, Miss Barnes. Shall I tell the others you are back."

"Please do, J.A.R.V.I.S. Also bring the elevator down and have it go to the level of where the others are." As Emily said that, the elevator doors opened and Emily went inside. The doors closed her, the elevator went up to the main floor and the doors open, she stepped out of the elevator. As soon as she did that Bucky came running over to her and hugged her tightly, Emily hugged him back and put her head on his shoulder. Emily closed her eyes as she leaned against Bucky, after a couple of minutes like hat, that Bucky spoke.

"Where have you been?"

"The underworld to talk to Hades, but he needed some help though."

"I thought you only do that during the summer?"

"Usually yes, for Persephone is not usually there but Thanatos wasn't there."

"Hang on." Emily lifted her head and opened her eyes before she looked at Thor. "You mean Thanos?"

"No, I mean Thanatos. He is the god of peaceful death and Hades's lieutenant. Thanatos has been captured and the underworld is chaotic right now." Emily could tell Thor was about ready to say something but Bucky beat Thor to that.

"If you want to know more just ask her tomorrow." Bucky than picked Emily up bridal style, normally Emily would complain that she can walk but she was tired from the long day and somewhat hungry. She also likes being close to Bucky, he carried to the elevator and the elevator went down to the level that was design for Emily and Bucky. Bucky placed Emily on the bed before climbing next to her and wrapping his arms around her while she kept her head up next to his neck and have her arms around his neck. "Good night, Emily."

"Good night Bucky."
