This is the last chapter of this story - Back in time. I hope that you like it! Please review! I have really appreciated your comments! I love hearing your feedback about my work. By the way, I love monopoly and that is why it's been mentioned. I think it's because so far I have mostly one every game that I have played. Mostly. :P If you don't like monopoly then you are not a real human being. Just saying.

After we got dinner, we made our way back to the sofa. It was now 8:14 and we only have about 4 hours left together.

"So what do you fancy doing?" dad asked me.

"How about we play a game?" I suggested.

"Tony has a games room a few floors down that contains hundreds of games and i'm not joking when I say that."

"Oh I know! I still exists."

"So what game do you wanna play?" Nat asked.

"How about...Monopoly?"

"You guys still have that in the future?" Clint asked.

"Yeah, it's the one game that never goes away." I replied smiling.

"That sounds good. Lets go." Nat said and we made our way towards the elevator.

3 and a half hours later

"I can't believe it!" Natasha said, giving me her final few Monopoly money.

"YES!" I shouted and did a little victory dance. No one should let me buy all the stations.

"How the hell did you defeat the both of us?" Clint asked, putting his head in his hands.

"I never lose." I said, smirking.

"Yep, she has your stubbornness and vanity." Natasha said, collecting up her money and cards.

"HEY!" I shouted and we all chuckled. We packed the bored away and sat in silence for a couple of minutes.

"What do you think it's like?" I asked.

"What do I think what's like?" Natasha asked.

"Being dead?" I asked.

"Woah. This situation just got very deep, very quickly." Clint commented chuckling.

"I don't like to think about it." Natasha said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"If you think about it then you will probably end up discussing it with other people. Next thing, Tony'll find out."

"Why would that be bad?" I asked her, intrigued.

"Well, if we knew that life was better in the afterlife than it is now then there would be mass suicides, but if we knew that life was better as it is and there is some kind of hell when we die then we would put extra effort into staying alive and probably try to end up as pieces of plastic still alive. So I prefer not to think about it."

"Wow. Now that is deep." Clint commented.

"I can be deep sometimes." she commented.

"Yeah but not that deep because that is just emotional." Clint said.

She turned her head to him and replied "I can be emotional." smiling. I haven't really seen her properly smile here before and I like it. It's more her.

Clint slowly leaned in, cupping her face, and started kissing her. "Um...guys?" I asked, but they didn't move. "GUYS!" I said a bit louder and they pulled apart. "Bit weird."

"Oh sorry." Clint said and straightened himself out. "I'm new to all this."

"That doesn't mean that you have the right to snog in front of your daughter. In the future, it is actually a rule in our house."

"Seriously?" Natasha asked.

"Yep. No. Snogging. In. Front. Of. Nadia." I said. "Or anyone else for that matter."

"Alright, alright." Clint said, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Miss Romanoff-Barton, Mr. Barton and Miss Romanoff, Mr. Stark requires your presence in the testing room."

We looked around at each other, the once happy laughing smiles had turned to sad solemn looks. We knew what was going to happen soon. Me and Luke were going to be gone.

I didn't realise the tears that were freely falling from my eyelids, down my face, and dripping down from the bottom of my chin onto my blue jeans that Tony bought for me the other day.

"Hey, come 'ere." Clint said, pulling me into a sideways hug. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around him, wanting him closer to me, like he was the most previous thing on Earth. "It's going to be okay. It has been amazing knowing that the daughter that we have is so confident, beautiful and talented." he explained, stroking my hair.

I nodded into his chest. "I know." I replied weakly. I didn't want to go, but I now came to the acceptance that I had to.

"We are going to miss you." Natasha said, stroking my arm comfortingly. Mum was always comforting. Maybe not when I first arrived, but she got used to me after a while. "I know that you are going to find it hard when you go back to your time, but your a Romanoff and a Barton." She said, smiling. "Deal with it."

"I will." I replied, keeping up my facade. I gave mum a deep hug and walked to the elevator with them, picking up my bag along the way. We didn't talk along the way. What was there to say apart from I'll miss you and be safe and look after Tony. These past couple of weeks had been enough to get me to realise that yes, my parents were dead, but I didn't need to dwell on that all the time. I could be one of the best spies of S.H.I.E.L.D and make them proud of me, prouder than they already are.

We arrived at the floor, containing the machine, and I saw Lukes parents at the side, anxiously waiting. Luke was at the centre of the circle of mirrors. Bruce and Stark were at the sides, fiddling with the equipment. Pepper was waiting outside the elelvator for us.

"Nadia." She greeted me, pulling me into a hug, almost knocking the bag off of my shoulder. "I'll miss you." She said and I hugged her a little tighter, trying not to damage her always thin frame. I said goodbye to the others, taking extra time with Stark to imprint in his mind that the magnet must remain a secret, and then went to join Luke.

"Hey." I said casually and stood next to him, while the others talked and set up the equipment. He smiled as a reply and put his hands in his trouser pockets. "Look..." I started. "If this doesn't work-"

"It will." He reassured me.

"If it doesn't for some reason," I said quickly, leaving no space for interruptions. "I want you to know that I care about you more than anyone, okay?" I admitted.

He slowly drew his head around and replied "I care about-"

"Right," Stark interrupted. Ass-hole. "Let's get this show on the road." He said, flicking a few buttons and me and Luke got into position, which was just facing back to back.

"Ready to proceed in...3...2...1..." We're the last words I heard from Bruce Banner before all hell broke loose.

POV Natasha

A bright light reflected off of the mirrors, almost blinding me, and I turned around to protect my eyes. I felt Clints reassuring hand on my back, protecting me too. I felt my eyes readjust as the brightness decreased and Clints hand slid off of my back.

I turned round and saw the mirrors shattered, but no one there. "Did it work?" Pepper asked, shaking her head, most likely to get rid of the stars in her eyes.

"I think so." Stark said, smiling. He picked up the magnet and announced "I have created time travel."

"Well, I don't necessarily think it was just yo-" Bruce said, but Tony interjected. As usual.

"Shut up Banner. I need to call the press and-" His train of thought was interrupted by Pepper snatching the magnet off of him. "HEY!" He complained.

"You heard what they said. It isn't discovered for another couple of months now..." She said, walking into the elevator. "Clear up for once in your life." She smirked and the elevator doors shut.

"Did it work though?" Clint asked Bruce, while Tony was complaining about the fact he had to clear up the broken glass. He went to get a broom.

"My calculations show..." He said, picking up a piece of paper newly printed. "Oh my God." He said. I couldn't tell whether he was shocked or happy. Please be a mixture.

"Well?" I asked, holding tightly onto Clints hand. Bruce smiled and opened his mouth to speak.

POV Nadia

My tightly shut eyes relaxed as the time travel roller coaster ride stopped. My hands were woven tightly round Lukes and I felt a chill pass through my body.

I opened my eyes, because I knew I would have to eventually. My vision was met with that of fire and destruction. The city seemed unmoving and we weren't on one of the top floors of Avengers Tower. We were on the ground, no buildings surrounding.

"What happened?" Luke asked me, his eyes scanning the city also.

"The human race." A masculine voice answered from behind us. I spam round quickly and saw Rogers holding Maria's hand, the other Avengers behind him.

"Dad?" Luke asked and ran up to hug him. I looked at Maria who looked slightly healthier than when we left, because she now has Steve Rogers back by her side. Luke greeted them both, I looked at Maria. She knew my question before I asked it.

"They still died. I'm sorry." I nodded. I knew nothing would be different, but I wanted it to be.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Lucus asked.

"If we said anything, it might have affected your actions." Tony said, taking the bag off me, and we nodded in acceptance.

"So what do we do now? And what happened to the city."

"Manhattan was destroyed. Burnt to the ground. Civilians are still underground and we need to help them. Up for the job?" Steve asked and I looked at Luke.

"Born ready." I smiled and we sprinted off with all of them to save civilians lives. Because it's our job. I looked down at the tattoo on my wrist of my parents symbols, knowing that they would always watch over me and look after me, even from the afterlife.

Hey guys, this was my last chapter! I might be doing a SEQUEL with more of the Avengers characters and develop the romance between Lucus and Nadia! Please tell me if you want a sequel, because other wise I won't bother. Thank you for reading my story!
