The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Twenty Six

(Same rules still apply Normal is first timeline; Italicized is second timeline or the Hargreeves from the 1960s)

When the Mikalesons and di Angelos dropped in, so did the Hargreeves and Lila. One group of Hargreeves containing Diego, Klaus, Ben, and Vanya, while the other had the same four plus Lila. The Mikaelsons were looking at each other in shock, before they noticed Kol, Finn, and Henrik were standing with them, although Henrik looked a little different.

"Okay, I'm going to get straight to the point and nobody better argue with me or interrupt me, got it?" Dahlia said, looking straight at the Niklaus Mikaelson from the first timeline, daring him to interrupt her. "You two are from different timelines; I will clear up a few things. You two," she pointed to the two Niklaus', "Are going to have to be Nik and Niklaus, because somebody from the Hargreeves also has the name Klaus. Mikaelsons from first timeline, yes that is Henrik, he is alive this time around. Hargreeves from 2019, Five fucked up, you went to 1960s of the second timeline. Lila is another one of the babies born in the phenomena that occurred that day, she can mimic abilities. Di Angelo's from first timeline, Bianca, you're an idiot for abandoning your brother, I still hate it and I will keep pointing it out. You're other selves found a loophole so they still say fifteen as that prophecy is still supposed to fall on Percy Jackson, good? Good?" Dahlia took a seat.

Nik went to sit with the younger Pandora with her parents' permission, Kol sat with Jade, Elijah with Andromeda, with her other self eyeing the man in the suit. Henrik went and sat with Ruby while Freya and Finn just sat with each other. The Hargreeves all shared a look before they all separated and sat with who they knew they would be there new families. Klaus had sped over to the Black's and plopped himself right next to Dahlia, still ecstatic that he will be able to stay with his actual mother. Diego sat with the Potters, Lila with the Prewetts, Vanya sat down with the Slytherin-Gaunts (and blushing from the looks they were getting from Freya), and Ben (who temporarily has a body, courtesy of Dahlia and Luna) sat with a young Frank and Alice (Who arrived earlier but I forgot to add them). Their previous selves looked at them in wonder, accept Klaus who was blushing, because fifteen year old Nico has apparently gotten cocky and gave him a flirty wink sat with the other Klaus too, and Bianca went to sit next to Crowley. The screen came on when everyone settled.

It came time that the group could meet the three gods. When Thanatos came he told them about the portal he made in one of the rooms. "Before we go in, they do know what happened in the previous lifetime including what happened with them," The god of Death told them.

"Dad and Persephone?" Nico and Bianca asked. Dahlia nodded.

Tom, Dorea, Orion, Charlus, and Dahlia, entered the portal to be greeted by a dark room that kind of looked like it could've been in the manor. "Hello!" we were greeted by a man and two women. The man had curly dark hair and looked as if he wanted to be a rock star, he also a goatee, wasn't hard to figure out that was Hades.

"Well he has not really changed all that time," Nico sassed. The newcomers from the first timeline looked confused, "The curly haired man is our father," he added.

A tan skinned woman with brown hair stood next to him. She had on a dark dress that had a floral design; this was Persephone. A dark haired woman with purple eyes stood off to the side. She had a magical aura about her, she must be Hecate.

All of their outfits were morphed into when what they had on when they hit their Inheritances except. They got a tour and then sat with Hades and Persephone while Tom went off with Hecate to explain some things to him. "Okay, so the situation, if you haven't figured out, Orion and Charlus are going to be more working with me, while Dorea and Dahlia with Thanatos, are we clear on that?" Hades asked. They nodded. "Okay, so Charlus, Orion, you will have more equipment to use as I'm assuming Thanatos gave you a rundown when your mates changed?" they nodded. "So you got the motorcycles?" they nodded again. "Okay, so my last thing for you both is there is a chain you can use if they start running," he snapped his fingers as two chains appeared. He gave them to the two guys and the chains lit up there specific color. "So like the motorcycles, they'll do what you want you want when you think of it. Now, Orion, you get last thing from me, as you are the top Ghost rider, you are going to have an aura that when you release it people will tell you there greatest desire or they might confess something to you, it just depends on the situation." Orion smiled, the Black Madness peaking through a little, he was going to enjoy that.

"You look crazy," Dorea noted. Orion had been wearing the same smile he did on the screen, he definitely had fun with that aura.

Tom told us he had found out about his aura reading some more and how he could control someone's intentions with their aura or make it stronger. He can also tell if someone is using an Invisibility Spell as he can see the aura, the only thing he cannot see is if they are under mine or Charlus' cloak. They had some food after they were informed they would be safe to eat the food, and then Dahlia walked out to Persephone's garden. She had found Persephone herself wiping at her tears. "Can I ask what's wrong?" she jumped before sighing when she saw Dahlia. "I just get tired down here. Hades and I are constantly arguing and we just had an argument, I just don't know what to do," she cried some more.

"Can I give you my opinion?" she nodded, "When I saw him, he reminded me of a Slytherin at Hogwarts, you know what being a Slytherin is right?"

She nodded, "Hecate explained it,"

"Okay, he seems to always have a mask on and from the stories I've heard, he feels abandoned and he's lonely. Yes, he has people around him, but he was abandoned by siblings, except Hestia, everyone thinks he's so bad but he's just got a mask up that he can't seem to take it down because nobody tries to see him for him except Thanatos, those two are similar enough with their domains that he can get it. They have to see death all day everyday that yeah he's not going to be in the best mood. I know he basically kidnapped you, but in a way, I think he saw something in you that would be able to help him. I mean seriously, that stupid oath he made his brothers, he's the only one that hasn't broken it, and you know that," she nodded, "you know Maria di Angelo, resembles you a bit," her eyes widened, "She does, she was basically you but kinder and more willing to listen to him. So imagine what he was feeling when she was killed?" her eyes watered, "And I argued with him after that," she whispered.

Many who have met Hades were nodding along with Dahlia's reasoning; he did keep a mask up. Both Nico's knew that, sometimes they had seen it slip. "Mom kinda did look like Persephone," Bianca mentioned and her brother nodded. Bianca and Nico stared at them in shock, they knew what their mother looked like?!

"So yes, try to talk to him some more, you might be surprised," Dahlia finished. Persephone nodded and hugged Dahlia. "Thank you" she whispered. We talked a little more, talking about our plants never noticing a certain God of the Underworld had been watching and thankful that someone saw him for him and not his title and reputation.

"Well, I didn't know he was watching," Dahlia commented.

*Time Skip*

Before the new school year began, Persephone had told Dahlia she had decided to stay in the Underworld for the summer but didn't stop with her domain so they didn't deal with her mother. She had said she saw what Dahlia meant about the mask because it broke for a second when she told him about staying. She had seen the look of surprise in his eyes and a slight twitch upwards of his mouth. We had visited the Underworld again during winter break after Luna had her inheritance. She had literally sucked the life out of some man Orion had grabbed while he was out. Orion and Charlus went to go find Hades, Dahlia had told them previously about what she had told Persephone, and they told her that he seemed to be a bit less stressed. When Dahlia found Persephone a little while after doing some work with Thanatos she was in her gardens again and got introduced to Dorea and Luna. "So how is the marriage going?" Dahlia asked.

"Oh, I'm glad you practically drilled in my brain what he has done and what he has to do every day. I started to notice things a bit more, like he got a bit depressed when Hestia left for Olympus, or even had to leave the room after my mother was down here. The surprise when I told him I was staying for the summer and only leaving for my duties over my domain and when I asked what he does with his paperwork and what he does every day. So now I can understand why he is usually stressed. I tried to help him a little more to take off some stress and I can tell it has. I also know he's a bit worried how I'll react to Nico and Bianca again, originally I would've been mad seeing them again but then I also remembered he isolated himself when he found out Bianca died, he regrets treating Nico the way he did but he couldn't really do much anyway until he had gotten the Ghost King title, then I'm thinking I really wouldn't mind it," halfway through Persephone's explanation, Luna had zoned out, and said when the goddess finished, "Bring it up with him you'll be surprised."

Nico and Bianca just looked shocked, while Bianca was more shocked knowing Persephone didn't react well to Nico, Nico was just more shocked that Persephone wanted to accept him and that his Dad was nervous about it.
