Chapter Twenty Seven: The Doorbell Rings
Author's Note: This took a while due to being in school and planning other projects. I've made some difficult decisions about this story, because it's going to change some things. I'm mostly going to change-up the characters from The Avengers. These adjustments exist to better suit my story, otherwise they wouldn't work. I hope you guys can forgive my changes, I honestly don't wish to irritate my readers. If you have anything to say, so far I've not received any reviews. I'd love to hear what people have to say, it could inspire some ideas! Thanks!
"I know this wonderful café." said Rose.
Rose and Hermione circled town square looking for a nice place to eat. They were indecisive about where to eat.
"Oh really? I thought you didn't know anything about New York" said Hermione.
"I do, but only about the hidden magic wonderland that exists behind the subways."
Filled with surprise, Hermione looks at Rose as if she had barely heard of this place. She is familiar with it but never went to it. Regardless, they went to the subway station.
"I remember hating these subways." said Hermione.
"Why?" said Rose.
"Why not? They are drab, dirty and filthy. The people on them smell real bad."
"I thought you didn't remember anything from your experience in New York."
"Who wouldn't remember the filthy subways? It's a famous part of New York!"
As they wait for their table, Hermione feels nervous. She doesn't understand why, but she feels a familiar face is to appear at any moment. The café had two sweats. Hermione sits on the right, while Rose sits next to her.
"It almost feels like I know something. There's something here." said Hermione with uncertainty in her voice. She stares at the nothingness of the tracks on the subway station.
Rose looks confused and puts her hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"I'm here for you." said Rose in a sincere and caring way.
Hermione gently taps Rose's hand with her hand. Rose lefts go of her shoulder.
The lights of the café dim except for a spotlight around Hermione. There is nothing but silence. Hermione looks around her and notices complete darkness. Rose is gone, and the café is gone. She is not afraid. She looks up as if nothing has happened. She is still at the café but it no longer feels like the café.
Suddenly in the silence, a classical piano plays "Downtown" by Petula Clark. She doesn't see it, but hears it.
Merrick fades in, and Hermione recognizes him. She does not react but looks at him. She widens up her eyes, waiting for a response. Merrick gestures his finger to his mouth.
"Don't speak, listen.", said Merrick.
Hermione nods in agreement.

Naked, both Natasha and Harry looked up at the stars on top of her house. The sheets covering them, and to warm them up from the coldness of the night. Harry looks at Natasha who can't stop staring at the sky.
"Harry", said Natasha.
"What is it, baby?", said Harry. He's concerned for her. She's been having some very strange episodes.
"I feel that something is not right"

The doorbell rings.
Whilst in the middle of the book "Gone With The Wind", Steve gets up from his couch. The book is still in his hand, his finger in one page. He uses his finger to make sure he doesn't lose his spot. He opens the door and he smiles. He can't stop smiling.
"Hello baby", said Linda Anne Lesley.
They kiss.
