150 Years Later
The child of prophecy has still not been born. Many of the lower ranked gods gave up hope.
At this time, news was spreading that Persephone was pregnant with Hades' child. But no one believed that the child of prophecy could be the Prince of the underworld.
Except, Apollo.
One of Apollo's many special abilities was the ability to see glimpses of the future through small visions. He knew that the Prince would bring great devastation to Olympus. He saw great wars in his vision. So on the night that Persephone would give birth, he readied himself to take the small baby away from Olympus...forever.

Narrator's POV
It was a cold night in Olympus and if you were in the Underworld then a very busy one too. The servants of Hades' castle were frantically getting everything prepared for the birth. If you took 2 minutes to calm down and look around, then you could see a shadowy figure with a black cloak sitting and waiting by a window in Persephone's room. But no one could take that time.
In the room, you could hear Persephone go through her contractions with great amounts of pain. Hades was pacing back and forth outside the room door. He wasn't allowed inside and was getting very worried by the sounds of pain that Persephone was screaming. Many thoughts crowded Hades' mind, "Is Kore okay?! Is she going to be fine?! It sounds so painful!" Although he wished for his child to be okay, he only hoped that his wife would be safe.
The servants had finally got everything ready and started helping the woman go through labor. They kept telling her to push and helping in whatever way possible. After 30 minutes of pushing and pain, the Prince was finally born. A boy with green and black hair, vast emerald coloured eyes and beautifully aligned freckles that decorated his adorable face.
But then something utterly unexpected happened, the clouds began to change to a silver and moon became blue. Everyone was bewildered, even Apollo. He had no idea the boy was the child of prophecy. He only got a vision of the wars and not this moment. He assumed the boy was just either really powerful or just extremely special.
As everyone stood bewildered, the Prince began to glow a gold. He was being blessed with the power of the 12 Great Olympians. Hades had walked in the room now and was visibly shocked. The servant holding the baby then gave the small child to Persephone. The mother was crying with tears of joy. She loved her child with all her being and not just because he was the child of prophecy.
Hades joined her in holding their child. It was time to name their child. After pondering for awhile, he spoke,
"I name him, Izuku Hades."
They were so happy but that wasn't going to last long. Apollo knew that he had to take the baby away right then. So before the two parents could do anything, the baby disappeared and all that was left in their arms was a emerald rose. That night, the parents wept a great deal.

Apollo's POV
It was heart-wrenching taking this poor boy away from his parents but it has to be done. For the greater good of Olympus.
I already have everything sorted out. I will bring this baby to the human world and have him raised by someone I deem worthy. Although I researched a bunch on good humans, I'm still not sure who should take care of the baby. So I make my way to the human realm.
When I reach there, it was morning and I was in a small neighborhood. I also seem to have arrived near a crime scene. I realized that this was the perfect opportunity to scout out some of my possible candidates. A crime scene would have two of the most good people in this world, heroes and police officers. An ideal place for adoptive parent hunting!
So I fly my way over to the scene. I wasn't concerned about anyone seeing me because I was hiding my presence. As I roam the scene I discover (by eavesdropping) that a villain attacked a woman in her late 20's and stabbed her, killing the poor woman. Worst of all, I don't see many heroes although I see a few police officers and paramedics.
While the police were outside the house handling a few things, one of the very little heroes that arrived decided to investigate more. As he approached the body more I finally recognized who he is. Shota Aizawa, underground hero; Eraserhead. He was one of the humans I had researched about considering all the good things he has done. He would be a perfect choice. So I hover myself over the woman's body, lighting my eyes with a bright white glow and revealing myself. The man stood shocked at what he saw. I mean it is his first time seing a god much less one of the 12 Olympians.
Aizawa's POV
While the police were handling things outside the crime scene, I decided I wanted to investigate more. I continued checking for clues as to who killed the poor woman and started to approach her body. But before I could search for anything, a bright angel-like creature appeared hovering over the woman's dead body. His eyes were glowing white, his wings were spread wide as if to show dominance and he held a...baby?
The angel then started speaking in an airy tone, "Pro-hero Eraserhead, or Shota Aizawa. I, Apollo, deem you worthy to father the child of prophecy." He said as he held up the baby for me to see. It was a small, newly-born boy with black and green hair and freckles. The baby was asleep. The man then continued, "This boy is Izuku Hades, the son of Hades, the god of death but you will raise this boy as your own son, give him love and never let him return to Olympus and his roots. Do you understand?", He finished. "H-huh? Oh! Y-yes" I say snapping out of my thoughts. The angel then smiles and hands me the child before disappearing.
'So wait let me get this straight...I have to father a child who just so happens to be the son of some god of death and some "child of prophecy"?!', I thought to myself and sigh. I look down to the baby in my arms and I immediately knew that I would have adopted this child even if the angel hadn't told me to. I knew this boy was going to be very important to me.
The police officers who were outside a few minutes ago were suddenly inside and asking me questions about the child in my arms. I immediately lie saying I found this child laying beside the woman and believe it's her child. The police were bewildered they hadn't noticed the child before but quickly shrugged it off. But then one of the police officers sighed asking the question I was waiting for. "What happens to the child now?" and that's when I speak up saying,
"I'll adopt him".

Heyyyy! So I finally finished this chapter after so much procrastination. Here are Just a few things id like to say and tell you (please read it):
1. I'm so sorry for my horrible representation of labor😂 as you can tell I have no clue as to what it's supposed to be like.
2. Kore is another name for Persephone if I'm not wrong
3. I want to explain Apollo's power a bit. So he can see the future in visions but he can't pinpoint how far or near in the future it is. And the visions only happen if something important is going to happen. He only gets one vision that lasts 30 secs - 1 minutes.
4. Now I need to explain his name to y'all. So "Izuku" means something along the lines of "the one who came out after a long time" so this makes sense considering the fact that it took so long for the child of prophecy to be born. And that's why Hades named him with that Japanese name.
5. Let's pretend ACAB doesn't exist in this world😂
