I am crushed by metal. I try to scream but no one hears. My body is in a million pieces why can I still think? Where is whatever God should take my soul to the underworld?
I hear my friends decided to leave. I will not blame them. It is my fault. I stole from Talos. At least my death fulfilled the part of the prophecy that said that one shall be lost in the land without rain.
I hope lady Artemis finds a better second Lieutenant than I was. I hope Percy takes care of Nico. But I'm not dead. In fact through the metal I feel my body start piecing itself back together.
What is happening? My skull once split in half repairs itself, my head to my torso, my arms return to my sides, first my legs return, then I'll my fingers and toes and I'm whole once again.
I try moving my arms, pushing away the scrap sunlight catches onto my body and I see what I didn't even know could happen. The red blood in my veins flows away and replacing it is a sticky gold-like liquid. They didn't lie.
Gods are real and Zoe said only gods bleed gold. Why am I bleeding what Gods bleed? Then memories return.
I remember why I thought the last President was Franklin D. Roosevelt. I remember that night in the hotel all those years ago. Mother's death, father's embrace than his scream, and the woman who called him Lord.
That woman who reminded him he couldn't bring mother back. She said Lord Hades. Hades? My father is the Lord of the dead and I think the only answers I'll get are if I go ask him myself.
But I'm not ready to go. I don't feel ready and I realize why when pain shoots through my back and shoulder blades. I scream. I scream for long time.
Eventually the pain subsides and I look behind me to see wings, grand and dark as my father's hair. I roll my shoulders back. They twitch.
This is worrying and scary and terrifying. I. Need. To. Find. My. Father. Now.
Summary: Goddess!Bianca au where Bianca ascended instead of dying. Chapter two of my new fic. Bianca getting on her way to her dad.

Warnings: I don't think there's anything sensitive this time.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
I. Need. To. Find. My. Father. Now. I know that. But where is my dear father and how to get to him?
I could use the new wings but Percy never wanted to fly because Zeus would strike him down, but if what I think happened has happened I can no longer be struck down.
But still the wings are scary, I don't know how to use them. Buy I need my father and Zoë taught me the rudimentary bits of using the mist to cover myself. Maybe I should use that then I'll figure out how to find my father.
I reach my fingers out and start weaving threads of magic over my wings, it takes time, it gives me a headache, but I keep going.
I don't stop until I feel those wings are covered. Only then do I roll my shoulders back and forth until the wings as truly folded at my back.
Then I put on my jacket and stand up. The scrap metal doesn't hurt anymore. It can't cut my skin anymore. I could try to find Zoë, Percy, Thalia and Grover but I could hinder their quest.
I need to find my way to my father. I... I... I know where he is. I feel it in my heart. I need to get to some place called DOA recording studio in Los Angeles and I'll find way to father.
But that's four hour drive in the opposite direction from where I am.
Oh well I think if I can get to Los Vegas I can get a cab using a few leaves enchanted to look like dollars.
And so I set off on foot using only the road as a guide I walk all the way to Los Vegas where I find a taximan who I promptly wave over.
"What's a kid like you doing in Los Vegas? Where are your parents??" He asks with genuine concern.
"None of your business. I'll give you double your normal rate if take me to DoA recording studio in Los Angeles." I offer.
"Listen little lady, I'm not entirely comfortable driving a preteen four hours away from the city-" The Taxi driver starts.
"Sir that's my father's business I need to get back to him." The lie slips from my mouth almost as if it's second nature.
"Oh, you should have said so. Get in little lady. Let's get you to your father." The driver sighs, opening the backseat door to me, I grin as I get in.
The four drive to Los Angeles is quiet, the driver doesn't ask questions, he just drives wordlessly.
Once we get to DoA I pay him using the enchanted leaves and I bid farewell. Now I need to actually find my father.
And thus I walk into the shop with just a sigh of resignation. This could be the most stupid thing I've ever done.
Walking into the underworld without even a dagger to defend myself with since I left my bow in that junkyard.
The shop is empty— No employee in sight— so I head towards the basement. I open the basement door and see the darkness of the underworld.
I descend into the cold and shadows I feel as though I was born from. And eventually after a long winding staircase I end up down in the Underworld.
This is my father's realm. No one can hurt me here... Right? I'll be safe in his realm... Right?
But I get in line with the souls. Maybe in different world I'd wait beside them for a chance to be judged and yet here I am waiting instead for an audience with my father.

Summary: The aftermath of Hades throwing Mel out of the house.
Warnings: Hades cries also Persephone's sassy.
A/N: For the record. Y'all chose this when 80% of you voted I should torment Hades for the plot.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
So after father going into a fit of a rage and throwing Melinoe out the house happened five hours ago. It is now 2 in the morning. Nico is sound asleep upstairs. Thankfully.
Makaria is standing in the corner like she's witnessing a physical train wreck not an emotional one and I'm standing in the doorway wishing I died with my mother so I wouldn't have to witness Zagreus and father have the screaming match of a literal millenia.
Zagreus is bringing up things from before Melinoe existed and father just keeps switching between telling him to shut up and saying it's his palace and he can decide who lives in it.
Eventually Zagreus throws his arms up in the air and just yells: "I'M CALLING MOTHER BECAUSE THIS IS HER REALM TOO!"
I have never wanted to be somewhere else in my entire life than right now as I watch my big brother run to make an iris message to snitch on my father while my father is just sitting on the sofa saying nothing.
Persephone answers half asleep "Zagreus what is going on over there and why are your sisters awake?" She yawns.
"Mum, we're all awake because SOMEBODY kicked Melinoe out."
Persephone sighs. "I'll be there in ten. Don't do anything stupid."
About ten minutes later Persephone shows up in strawberry pjs because she couldn't be bothered to change.
"Alright, this better have a good reason because I just snuck out of my bedroom window like a teenager trying to go to a party except I'm not at party I'm fixing a dispute between my dumbass family."
"At the risk of sounding like an idiot, why didn't you use the front door and tell Demeter you were coming down here because of this?" I ask.
"Bianca sweetie, that's because normal people and gods are asleep at two in the morning not having a family shouting match." Persephone sighs.
"Mom— thank the Fates. Dad kicked Mel out of the house and refused explanation for the past five hours." Zagreus explains gesturing at Father who looks like he needs something stronger coffee to survive this conversation with his sanity in tact.
Persephone pinches the bridge of her nose like she's mentally preparing for more stupidity than my question. "Hades, you have five seconds to explain yourself."
"Your son very conveniently forgot to mention that his sister was working for Kronos and lied about Nico's whereabouts." Father snaps.
"You still kicked her out—" Zagreus starts.
"Zagreus please—" Father is gritting his teeth. I make the mistake of walking across the room because he's also sitting next to the water jug and now father's holding onto my arm like that's only thing keeping him sane.
"And now you're hiding behind a child?" Zagreus asks.
Father let's go of my arm I pour myself a glass of water at light speed and before I get a single sip in father decides it's a good time to explain himself.
"Persephone, you cannot ask me to maintain perfect calm when one of our children sides with my father. Not after I spent my formative years in his stomach, not after all the pain my siblings endured because of him. I acted irrationally I should have explained to her gently why that was wrong but I was angry." He explains. He sounds so calm Zagreus doesn't even process the tears in his eyes until they start following.
I abandon my glass of water and walk over to try and fix it. My attempt to wipe my father's tears away results in him sobbing about how he's failing as a parent. I shot Zagreus a glare out of sheer pettiness cause he's the one who pushed so much that father's crying.
Zagreus doesn't even defend himself. Persephone sighs and says she'll be back at a reasonable hour of day with Demeter knowing where she is instead of breaking out of bedroom window before disappearing into the shadows.
Makaria has been in the corner for the past five hours. She finally moves only to say: "Dad you're doing fine, you have a four five success rate?"
It would be a good joke, except the person supposed to find it funny is now sobbing harder, oh no.
"It's okay papa.. Nico thinks your cool?" I offer as consolation. It does not work. Oh no.
Zagreus is regretting his life decisions, he regrets them more when dad says the word 'If I wasn't here, the people whom I love wouldn't get hurt'.
Zagreus decides it's a good time to try logic.
"Hey now dad. If you weren't here, the people you love wouldn't be here either." He comforts.
Unfortunately the sobbing woke up Nico who climbed down the stairs and is now standing in the door way like he walked into an active murder site. Oh no.

A/N: Back to Bianca's pov where it should stay for the rest of the fic, I would have made this two separate chapters instead of one but I'm raging at my school rn so here's the big reveal with what I want to scream at my school's princpal being yelled at multiple people.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
I'm not going to lie, I have not been in the best emotional state lately, but can you blame me? My little brother is missing.
Zagreus had noticed how sad I am, he's been trying to make me stop worrying by telling some silly stories from when he was a kid.
And also offering a little dirt on father like the fact that Zagreus and Makaria can tell when they get a new demigod sibling because father's eyes get all puffy from crying tears of joy and how Melinoe would make bets about whether the kid was a boy or girl.
Zagreus tells me about how they did this when I was born too. He promises that one day I'll get to join too.
Makaria has been trying to figure out what kind of godly domain I have to no avail.
At some point, winter passes with Melinoe continually saying there's no sign of Nico and promising that if there was she'd drag him to me immediately. As winter passes to spring Persephone has to leave. Father pretends he isn't crying. He is unfortunately a liar as Zagreus saw him sniffling into the palm of his hand.
As spring goes on Makaria decides to rent a field to teach me how to fly and it's nearby Camp Half blood so we can theoretically spy on them to see if Nico went back or not without dragging Zagreus out of his library.
Months past like that. It's mid July when we stay later than usually because we convinced father to let us stay out late and eat dinner at a restaurant so far from the underworld with the words 'papa please' and a promise to bring takeout back for him.
And as we are leaving the field we hear it. Chanting, something in ancient greek so like two people who've never read a horror novel, we decide to go check it out.
That's when I hear Nico's voice yelling Bianca appear. Makaria looks at me, I look at her, we both make an attempt to discipher what in father's name is happening?
That's when I hear Grover say 'Any time now' and Makaria nods in affirmation to whatever thought just ran through her head and gestures for me to exist the treeline and answer Nico's call.
So I do. Stumbling through the trees with my wings at my back and right when I get out of the treeline I faceplant straight into a pit full of what Zagreus calls 'ghost summoning juice' it tastes disgusting as I am not a ghoadt and in a half baked attempt to salvage whatever dignity I still have I flap my wings to fly out of the pit and look up to see Nico's face.
He's like I remember him but he looks sadder now, he has dark circles under his eyes. I break the silence that seems to stretch out forever with two words:
"Yes, Nico?" I ask.
"BIANCA YOU'RE ALIVE!? HOW CAN THIS BE! PERCY SAID YOU DIED!" Nico shouts. Percy looks like somebody just dropped the weight of the world on him.
Nico whirls around to yell at Percy. "SHE'S ALIVE! YOU LIED! WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME!"
"Nico I-" Percy starts.
"WHY DID YOU LIE?!" Nico repeats.
"Nic-" Percy tries again.
"LIAR!" Nico accuses.
"I DIDN'T LIE! I THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!" Percy snaps.
"Then you—" Nico points an accusatory finger at a spirit who looks an awful lot like Minos who's supposed to be on shift working for father right now. "— MINOS WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME!? YOU SAID YOU COULD BRING HER BACK WHEN SHE NEVER LEFT!"
Nico rages on. Minos' spirit seems to shrink on itself almost as if he's terrified and giving the fact I am hovering behind Nico glaring at Minos with the hatred of a thousand suns, he should be scared.
Minos panics and when he meets my eyes he spills the truth. He panics so hard it takes him repeating himself a few times to figure out what he's saying but basically Melinoe promised him revival if he tricked Nico.
Makaria has come out of the treeline, she seems ready to commit murder. I am considering the best way to torture a soul. Nico acts before Makaria and I do and swings his sword at Minos' cutting his spirit in half making him disappate. The fact he's gone does little to ease the tension. Makaria's fists are clenched so tight she's beginning to draw ichor. I look like someone just told me the sky isn't blue and proved it.
But that doesn't matter right now, what matters is Nico throwing down his sword tackling me into a hug with teary eyes.

If you're too lazy to read on Tumblr, the wattpad version is right here on the account 12 year old me made exist to read demon slayer fanfic and the Ao3 version is here. Before you read it. I as the author must implore you to read all of Bianca's narration and dialogue in a completely monotone voice.
"You're not dead." The ferryman— Who's name I believe is Charon— notes, before shooting me a glare. "What are you another one of those troublesome demigods?"
"I am a child of Hades and I wish to see my father." I respond with more conviction than I feel, to be honest. It feels like I'm being too hasty.
I can't just base a decision like this off a memory from apparently seventy years ago. But here I am. Basing it off that memory that's credibility I'm not sure of. Zoë would be so disappointed...
This is impulse, stupid even. Yet Charon I think, takes one look at me, took in my eyes specifically and immediately nods.
"Oh. You should have said so, I'll drop you off across the Styx if you speak to father about getting me a raise for taking you across the river for free." Charon offers.
"I'll talk to him." I promise even though I'm screaming internally with doubt about if the man I'd assumed was my father was even my father.
It's okay, this ferryman couldn't see my wings, I know the mist isn't that strong around them but my jacket can stop him from seeing my back. It's going to be okay.
After Ferryman takes me across, he points me in the general direction of my father's palace. I say thank you and I start on my way over.
This seems like a bad idea but I've cheated death once today, why not mess with it some more? But seriously one misstep and I'm doomed. Gahh! This is so stressful.
Walking through Asphodel was creepy, the trees with souls trapped in them were trying to touch me and I didn't even have any weaponry, this was so stupid on my part...
Next thing I see the second I'm out of Asphodel, Cerberus, the three headed hound of Hades, that has spots by the way. But Cerberus doesn't attack. Instead he licks me. Great now I'm covered in hellhound slobber.
I rack brain for what I used to call my father apparently seventy years ago before I remember. Papa. Am I really going to barge into Hades' palace and call him papa?? Guess so.
I must have lost my self preservation instinct alongside my bow in the junkyard, why? Am I doing this? This is a dumb decision. I've never done something this stupid.
But still I swallow my doubts and gently creek open the palace door. The inside of the palace is grand, blacks and golds line the walls, there's a rich burgundy rug on the flower. Black roses everywhere. This place is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I sneak over to the throne room like a stray cat committing breaking and entering because that's certainly how I feel.
I swallow all my nerves as I poke my head through the throne room door, take a deep breath, ignore the fact I see two goddesses who I think are Persephone and Demeter having tea in the throne room and say the word: "Papa?"
Demeter and Persephone look confused as if they think they're by a preteen but Hades' face goes pale. Now I will add. Seeing Hades made my doubts stop, a little bit. He looked like he did in my memory and gods I have his eyes. That's why Charon was so willing to let me through with just eye contact.
Hades walks over to the door and opens it entirely to find his fears confirmed, it's me, standing there, like the scared child I have every right to be right now.
"Bianca what are you doing here?" Hades demands.
"I.. I was on a quest and my friends left me in the junkyard I didn't know where else to go so I came here." I explain quickly.
"Are you sure that's all?" He stares at me like he knows I'm hiding something and at that point my thoughts go, I mean he is my dad, what could go wrong? And I take off the jacket and the mist to reveal the wings.
"Look." I say simply.
At this point Demeter and Persephone's interest was achieved and now they were also looking at my new wings while Hades stood there like he didn't drink nearly enough coffee for this.
"Bianca, back track, how in my name did this happen?" Hades requests.
So I explain everything, starting from the manticore at Westover which lead to me becoming a hunter of Artemis, Annabeth going missing, the prophecy, going on the quest, then everything that happened with Talos in the junkyard that lead to the wings and I also mention the whole bleeding gold. Hades listens patiently before sighing.
"Bianca, I think you ascended." He says.
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"It means you've become a God." Hades explains.
"Huh!?" I exclaim.
