"How long are you going to let everyone suffer?" Logan asked after Black Panther had gone to bed and I had told Thor to go bathe. "I'm sorry Logan. But I just can't make myself want the spell to end. I love Thor too much to let him go." I couldn't bring myself to look at him. "I know you don't want to let him go. But what about everyone out there? The ones that once swore to protect them thanks to that witch's spell are hurting people. You think they want this to go on?" Logan had a good point. People were hurting because of this spell and I was the best bet to undo it all. But as much as I wanted to help them I just couldn't let go of my own feelings for Thor to undo it all. "You have no idea what it's like. To love someone who you know will never love you back. To be alone in the world for so long only to suddenly be given the greatest gift in the world. Yes this spell makes it all fake but it's not to me. Since losing my family I have tried to move on with my life and live alone for fear of losing love all over again. For fear of something like this happening. I want to put things right but I'm afraid of losing what I have gained. Sure you said you'd stay in contact with me but that's not enough for me. One friend kept while I lose another as well as the man I have come to love. I can't do it. I won't!" I was in tears by the time I stopped talking. Logan sighed. "Sonya you're right. I don't know what it is like for you. But I do in a way know what it is like to love someone when you think they can't love you back. You'd be surprised how many times I have gone through that kind of pain in the past. But from what I can tell you are only alone because you have never tried to let someone in before. As you said you've been afraid to lose that love so you've lived alone with only those pets of your's to keep you company. You can go out and find that love again at any time. Hell we both can. Problem is we often get in our own way when we do, thinking we'll just repeat the past." Logan said. I sighed and wiped my eyes. "What should I do then? Should I force myself to undo it just so I can try to refind these feelings again with someone else?" I asked him. "I'm just telling you what you can do. What you should do is for you to decide." He tells me before turning and walking to his room.
"Thor?" I wasn't sure if he was awake or not, but I wanted to talk to him. "Yes Sonya?" I snuggled into him a little more before speaking. "If you had to do something that you know was right but would hurt you greatly in a way you figured you wouldn't be able to heal what would you do?" I asked. "Is this something that affects many?" Thor asked. I nodded. "I'm not sure Sonya. Some times we must do the right then no matter what happens to us as a result. But there are others when we must weight everything before doing anything." I knew what he meant, as I had been doing just that over the matter of undoing the spell. "But what if it meant losing me? Losing what we have?" I asked. Thor looked down at me with a worried look. "Is something wrong with you?" Thor questioned. I shook my head. "No Thor. What I meant was what if what we had was fake and the right thing to do was to end what was causing it to happen. You know the pain would be too great but on the other hand it would help a lot of people if you put a stop to the thing that was causing this. What would you do?" I had to know in hopes of making up my mind. "So by doing this thing I would lose the love we share? I'm not sure what I would do then. I would not want to lose you but my duty to the people of this world mean much to me. Perhaps I would find a way around it." Thor suggested. "But what if no matter what way you do it you would still lose me? I would just stop loving you." Thor smiled softly at me. "Sonya, even if you were to stop loving me I could always try to gain your love again. Only for real." He tells me. I rested my head against his chest. "Ok. Just wondering." I tell him as I shut my eyes.
It's easy for Thor to say such things because he can go after me if it was him that had to undo the spell and I was the one under it. But I wouldn't get near him to try to get him to really fall in love with me. Oh hell, my magic would most likely make him love me. I don't want fake love I want real love! But that would never happen between me and Thor. What should I do? I don't want to lose him, but I don't want people to suffer for my selfishness. Why is this happening to me? Everything was perfect before and now it's all nothing but pain and suffering. A gentle hand on my face made me open my eyes. Sitting around me were my parents and my sister. Glancing around I saw I was lying in my old bed in my old room back at my parents' house. I knew this wasn't real, but I didn't freak out about it like I would've had it happened a short while ago. "Hello Sonya." My dad greeted. "Hi dad. Why are you guys here?" I asked them. Sis ruffled my hair before answering. "We're here because you wanted us to be." I gave her a confused look to which my mom chuckled. "Sonya you wanted something to help you with everything but you weren't sure just what it was you wanted help with. So we were made to appear and try to help you. You knew what that movie had been about before you and Thor went to it yet you didn't think it could have anything to offer you in terms of answers. When Thor was no where to be found you wanted help in finding him, so we helped you." She explained. "And what about now? Are you here to tell me what I should do?" I asked. "No Sonya. We're here to comfort you as you decide what to do. You know the pros and cons of what you can do but you have to pick one to do." Dad answered. I sat up and sighed. "I don't want to be alone anymore. Everything's right with Thor around and I just want to keep it like that. But I know better then to let the city suffer because of me. I just wish it was simple." I wiped away the fresh tears from my eyes. "But maybe it can be." I looked up and found my younger self sitting on the edge of the bed. "Easy for you to say. You're just here because my magic made you." I tell her. She shook her head. "Sonya I'm not part of you magic. I'm part of your mind. Part of you. I know about your pain and your wishes, about your fears and hopes. I know about things you don't know. And trust me there is much you don't know." She teased. I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed. "Sis, we all knew how much your time with Thor means to you but tell me, the people that are being forced to love someone they would never love, the ones stuck with someone because that person in love with them can you really just stand by and let the suffer? And what about the way everyone must walk on eggshells just so the ones under the spell won't kill themselves? How long do you think it will take before someone saids the wrong thing and heroes start offing themselves?" I sighed as sis's words hit home with me. There was no way everyone would continue to put up with the way the heroes were forever. All it would take is one snap and heroes would be dropping like flies. "You know how to fix this. And you know how to fix the hurt later." My father said before placing a loving kiss to my temple. "Yeah. I do." I sighed. "We love you Sonya. No matter what happens we will always love you." Mom said as she, dad, and sis hugged me.
I opened my eyes and found myself back in my home, the spot next to me on the bed empty as the smell of food drifted in through my bed room door. "I love you guys too." I cried softly before forcing myself up out of bed, my mind made up.
Thor and the others had left to search for Enchantress. I had told Thor I was tried and needed to sleep more. He wished me good dream before leaving while Logan gave me a sad smile, seemingly know what I was planning to do.
Standing on the rooftop I sighed as I looked out over the city. "It's for the best. Everyone needs to go back to the way they were before the spell regardless of my pain. I love you Thor. And I always will." I whispered before shutting my eyes. I felt a faint warmth flow from my heart to every inch of my body as I thought about everyone affected by the spell and how much I wanted it to be undone. Opening my eyes I could see a faint light blue ring around the edges of my site. Slowly the ring faded along with the warmth and I knew it was done.
It was a full five minutes before my phone had gone off, I had just entered the door and went to answer it. "Hey. I know that wasn't easy on you but you did the right thing by it." Logan told me. "So I did do it then?" I asked him. "Yeah. Panther's gone off back to the mansion. Claims he remembers everything and is worried how the others are taking it." In part I was glad everyone remembered, I just hoped they'd get over it. "Good to know. Thanks for tell me." I wiped away a silent tear as quickly as it fell. "So listen, how bout I come over tomorrow and we can have a few to celebrate the end of the madness?" I smiled, glad that he was keeping true to his word about hanging around. "Call me tomorrow about that." I told him. "Alright then. I'll talk to you later then." Logan then hung up. I sighed and put the phone down. My home felt so empty with out Thor and the others in it. "This is the way it has to be. I can get over it." I told myself before heading back to bed, longing to forget any of this happened.
