Author's Note: Sorry haven't really posted anything lately. Been summing up ideas. Got this one from the writer's of Young Avengers chat with a fan I found a couple months ago. Been thinking of this for a while. Well just wanted to say I don't own Young Avengers comics. They are own by Marvel. Just a great fan of the comic. New and Old.
A bit of background: This is a bit of a futuristic fic, not to far in the future though. This is after they save Tommy Shepherd and they have now figured out how to stop Mother. (Sorry I didn't write a huge fight scene. If anyone wants to just message me.)
Chapter 1: The War Has Won
The fight was over against Mother. It was the Young Avengers verses the dimension parasite called Mother, who took the form as Teddy's mother. Mother was, you can say brainwashing, using the Young Avenger's parents and random citizens as her army against the teen heroes. Mother was like a liquid paste and same with all the citizens and parents she had control on. She had the powers of Sandman almost but as paste. If you tried to hit her, shoot her, blast her or try to damage her in anyway, she would just form back to herself. Almost like pudding. The weirdest alien person pudding ever seen by a human.
When Wiccan, Billy Kaplan, finally figured out how to put Mother back in her dimension, though with some help by Loki, God of Mischief, the team thought it was all over when Mother was gone. It took longer than it should have gone. When Wiccan and Loki finally sent Mother back to her dimension they called the team back together so they could finally go home. So they decided to retreat, but when they counted the members of the team there seemed to be one short. They gathered around Noh-Varr's ship and recounted and still they were missing one team member, the archer. The heroes decided to separate and try to find the archer around where they fought Mother.
They started to yell out the archer's name and code-name hoping she would answer to either of them. All through the park were the Young Avengers members walking around yelling out "Kate", "Katie", or "Hawkeye". Hoping the owner of the name will answer. One of the members, Tommy Shepherd, was running around the park looking for his friend. He slid to a stop when he heard someone moan in pain. All what was on his mind was Kate was in serious pain. He rushed to the sound and found the team's archer on the ground lying in a puddle of her own blood. Her left leg was deeply cut and a few of her ribs were broken. There was a slice through her shirt and through her chest. Blood stained her outfit and her skin. Her eyes were closed and her hands were over her stomach. She was barely breathing.
"Katie?" Tommy got down on his knees trying to get a reply out of the archer. "Katie please say something…anything."
The teen girl slowly opened her eyes and Tommy could tell she was in too much pain to speak. "Don't speak. Just try not to faint. OK?" He picked up the archer and ran towards the ship as fast as the speedster could. He told everyone through his communicator that he found Kate just not in the perfect condition. The speedster ran inside Noh-Varr's ship and placed Kate on the floor of the ship trying to keep her from groaning in pain. The boy grabbed a jacket from some chair in the ship, balled it up to form a oddly shaped pillow, and placed it underneath Kate's head. He ripped a piece of his suit and wrapped it around the cut on Kate's leg trying to stop it from bleeding. "I'm not letting another teammate die in front of me."
"Alien boy you better get your ass in your space ship before I drive off without you and the others." Tommy said into his communicator. He sounded worried as Kate's breathing became softer and her pulse began to slow down. "Shit. Kate don't leave me!" Forgetting to turn off his communicator when he said that.
When Noh-Varr heard Tommy say those three words he started to worry. He thought to himself 'Kate is leaving?' He didn't understand what it meant only that it didn't sound good to him or to anyone who heard Tommy's message. As Noh-Varr ran to his ship he replied to the speedster, "Coming and don't let Katherine leave!" He jumped into the ship and saw Kate on the floor with Tommy hovering over her. He dropped the communicator on the floor seeing a small puddle of blood next to Kate. 'Oh God. That doesn't look good.' He thought to himself. Which he was right, it didn't look good to anyone's view.
Soon after the other members came in from where they were in the park. As they entered the ship all their eyes were on Kate, who was inching herself to death. "Stop staring and drive! I don't think you want her to die all of the sudden?" The speedster said pushing Noh-Varr to the driver's seat. "You're not the only one who loves her, ok?"
The Kree boy turned on the engine and flewf the ship to the closest hospital with Billy helping him guide him there. Noh-Varr's mind was rushing to every horrible idea he could think didn't want to know how Kate got so hurt but his mind was making up every picture of how it could of happened. He didn't want his girlfriend to be going through all this pain or worst, die by his side. He tried to keep his eyes on the window then looking back at Kate. This was not how he planned his day to go.
