Hey guys! I'm not entirely sure what this is... it was an idea I got at about three in the morning after two hours of government homework and listening to the Avengers' soundtrack. If this sucks, I'm sorry. I was going for parallelism and that stuff. Sorry it's so short.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers. If I did, Tony and Steve would end every fight with a passionate make out session and Coulson wouldn't be dead.
Amy: (mind mantra) He's not dead, I refuse to believe he's dead, he's too badass to be dead...
All the best heroes talk in their sleep. Earth's mightiest heroes certainly do. There's a reason they all sleep alone.
Clint talks of the circus. He talks of Trick Shot, punishment, and Bobbi even. He murmurs comforts to the brother who will never hear them, he pleads with his 'Master' to stop hurting him. He hisses for Bobbi to suck it in a little more. Clint talks of the life he wants so desperately to forget.
Natasha talks of her kills. She talks of her husbands, the Red Room, and the red in her ledger. She whimpers for the pain to stop, she growls for her husbands to stop fighting her. She whispers little white lies to the younger girls that it's gonna be okay before she snaps their necks. Natasha talks of the lives she's willingly taken.
Steve talks of the war. He talks of the Howling Commandos, Colonel Phillips, of Peggy. He whispers comforts to a long dead scientist, he screams for Bucky to hold on just a little longer, to not let go, to not fall. He mutters Peggy's last words to him. Steve talks of yesterday.
Tony talks of Afghanistan. He talks of the cave, of the people who were afraid of the Ten Rings, of the people he murdered. He cries out for Rhodey, for Pepper, his father, anyone to help him, to save them, he yells himself hoarse for Yinsin to come back. He cries for forgiveness. Tony talks of true torture.
Bruce talks of the other guy. He murmurs to Betty it's okay, screams for the other guy to stop the pain, destruction and chaos he's wreaking. Bruce mutters to himself he's not a monster. Bruce talks of the Hulk.
Thor talks of nothing. He whispers to no one, screams for no one. He pleads with no one. Thor is silent. Well, he snores.
Well? Love it? Hate it? Review!
