:'( I know. Sad! But here we go, next chapter, don't worry, be happy!
Loki was the first to feel it. A shock ran through his body and he let out a gasp. He couldn't move, his whole being frozen in spot. Then, Steve too went still, shocked he let out a sudden screech of pain. Tony leapt forward towards his friend but then he too could feel it. The feeling turned to warm, happy, unreal. It raced through him, making him still. The arc reactor on his chest glowed brighter.
Suddenly everyone in the room was staring around in fear, unsure of what was happening. And then light, so bright that it could almost blind them, came from their chests. These lights gave off a radiant feeling of love and warmth. It was mesmerizing to stare at.
They just hovered there in front of each person for a moment, dancing before their gleaming eyes. The lights split into two pieces, one large and one almost so small that It could barely be seen.
The small lights gathered together in the middle of the room, and became one large light. The other part of the lights shot back into their chests.
"Roria," Natasha whispered as she recognized what that light was that shot back inside of her. Her life source.
The Avengers and Loki stared at the large light in the center of the room in wonder. It shone like the sun, giving off happiness and glee.
"What is that?" Clint asked in awe.
"Life source," Natasha whispered, "Roria's power allowed her to—"
"Manipulate life sources and objects gravitational pull…which means that there is a collection of, not one life source," Loki began.
"But part of all of ours," Tony finished for him. He quickly made his way over to the light, studying it with awe.
"What does that mean?" Steve asked, his face still streaked with tears.
Just then, the light began to move, floating towards the deceased girl in the hospital bed. It sunk into her chest, near her heart.
Everyone stared at her for a moment, holding their breaths. No one dared to hope, couldn't bring themselves for the pain of disappointment but—
The machine made a bleep, her heart rate had restarted.
"Ow," came a small whimper from the bed. "What happened?"
No one had an answer, nor did anyone care as they raced to the bed where Rorianna had came back to life.
"Oh thank God! I thought we'd lost you!" Natasha asked through a face full of tears, "How did you do that?"
"Do what?" Roria asked but then she was pulled into a hug from Steve, then Bruce grabbed, Tony, Natasha, Clint, and then finally she clung to Loki who just remained silent, holding her as if he were afraid she might disappear from his hands.
It was Natasha and Tony who began to quickly explain the strange happen minutes ago. Roria was silent as she listened. She then picked up her hand to look at her skin and nodded.
It was then that everyone noticed. Her skin was not glowing gold anymore.
Roria shut her eyes and then opened them, but her skin was still normal human skin. She turned to the door, which was suddenly slammed shut. She stared at it an amazement. "I don't understand. I was dead and yet…I'm alive? I don't look Morilian anymore but I can still use my powers when I activate the tiara….what…I—"
"It's alright," Loki whispered to her. "I think you look better with blue eyes anyways."
"Is it possible," Tony asked slowly, "That you have a life source built on a small piece of ours?"
"I don't know," she answered quickly. "I've never heard of that before. I wouldn't know how to do that…"
"Well if it did than that would mean that you're life source is all…human and a bit asguardian…"
Roria opened her mouth to retort back about how that would do nothing to her genetic code but then her mouth shut. Weren't Morilian's made of life source? That was why she had to turn it off and on. Now…it only turned on her power and she still remained human looking. Suddenly she began to weep softly, and yet she was smiling, "I can't believe I'm still alive. Thanks to all of you."
"Roria?" Steve whispered, still holding her right hand. "Don't ever scare me like that ever again."
She turned to see her father, her face smiling even as her eyes filled with tears, "I'll do my best."
"Are you—I mean do you have to go home now?" Bruce asked in a quiet voice.
Rorianna felt a tight squeeze from Loki and slowly said, "I just died. I think I'm going to hold that off for awhile until I can heal a bit."
That's when Tony had her transferred back to the Stark Towers in her bedroom. He even opened a room for each person, even Loki. It was an unspoken agreement of no fighting, no real world things, no truth until the end of the week. No one brought up Loki being the enemy, and he even stayed in his own room that Tony never actually told him he could have but it was rather obvious. Thor and Loki didn't really talk at first, just holding each other's gaze for a moment.
And each night, they'd sit around, talking, laughing, and enjoying the moment.
"No," Tony shouted in frustration, "This is a DVD player, not a laptop. They're different!"
Rorianna wrinkled her nose as she listened to Tony try to explain to Steve and Thor what certain devices did. Loki, however, seemed to just not give a damn.
"Hey, Dad, did you try Tony's fancy coffee maker?" Roria laughed at the glare Tony gave her. They'd already broken his extremely expensive microwave.
Clint sat down in the seat on the other side of her from Loki and shook his head. "I'm never going to get used to him being your dad. You look the same age."
Roria just laughed and shrugged. "I know. I don't know if I ever will either."
"What movie?" Natasha asked around. "Anyone?"
"What about The Wizard of Oz," Clint suggested. "That's one the old guy knows."
"No," Bruce groaned. "Something new please! I haven't watched a decent movie in a long time."
"Star wars?" Tony suggested.
"Star wars," Clint smirked, nodding in approval.
"Stars aren't alive," Loki informed them patiently, "They can't have fights or wars."
Thor nodded, "My brother is correct."
"Just watch the movie," Roria rolled her eyes not really caring if the movie was about stars hitting one another.
"That was awesome!" Steve was shouting as the credits rolled.
"Stupid name," Loki mumbled, "There were no stars in it." But he wouldn't admit he enjoyed it.
But Roria was healing fast. She was a Morilian and they never forgot, never got involved, and healed at a rapid speed. And so the week, the wonderful week, had to come to an end eventually.
Everyone woke up Wednesday morning to Clint slapping cuffs on Loki reluctantly and Loki not even putting up a fight. Gazes held, words were held back, as everyone filed out of the tower. Fury was out there waiting for them.
I figure on one last chapter! Okay, so I fixed it guys. I'm so sorry I had to do that to you :) Please review, and stay tuned!
