The Avengers Chapter 12
Once Loki was thrown in the truck everyone looked around. "Hey guys." Tony began. "Where's our little hot headed Amy?" Widow looked around. "I don't know. Last time I saw her was with the portal but she said that she was going to meet up with us." Thor turned around quickly. "What was her condition afterwards?" She gave him a wierd look. "She was just out of breath. What is going on?" Thor was about to answer when Nick walked up to them slowly. "You all...Might want to see this." The group followed him quietly, worried on what happened to their friend. Nick lead them to a little secluded area where the medics were running around like crazy. Captain gasped as a body was put on a strecher. Without hesitation he ran over with the others behind him. "Amy? No. But." He said softly. Tony looked down sadly not wanting to look at his friend dicolored with a giant hole in her chest where her heart is supposed to be. Widow let a tear fall as Hawkeye put his arm around her shoulder. The hulk roared in sadness and whimpered.
"What happened?" Widow asked Nick. He didn't give her an answer just looked at Thor who looked at her with pure sadness. Everyone's eyes turned to him. Sighing he explained everything. Afterwards Captain bowed his head as he grabbed her hand. "Come on. Get up. I need you to wake up for me. Amy. You still owe me that date remember? Come on." He pleaded. Tony walked up to the body and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Captain. But she's gone." Captain shrugged his hand off and glared slightly. "She'll come back! She's got to." Tony gave him a sad smile and shook his head as his eyes watered.
Tony never really cried for someones death. But Amy was a good friend of his that treated him like a person, not just a rich celebrity or some freak with a radiator in him. She was there for him when things went down. He never realised how much she impacted his life until now. I guess it's true when they say that you never know what's precious until it's taken away from you.
Steve whimpered as a tear rand down his face. It was true. He fell for her. Hard. His heart hasn't felt like this since Peggy. After all of this, he was hoping to take her out for dinner and let her know how he felt about her. No matter if she returned it or not.
A medic began to cover her body and take her away. Tony walked next to Captain as they talked about how they were going to tell her family about this. Their daughter who was taken away from them, in now taken away from them for a second time and for good this time.
A girl sat in the shadows as she watched the scene play in front of her. She was confused onto why that girls death effected everyone so deep. She could read sorrow all over their faces. Was this girl loved? That boy in the blue suit seemed to care deeply. A smile played on her lips as she stood up and walked out of the shadows.
As the medic brought her body close to the ambulance, when the cover caught on fire. When he went to take them off, her body bursted into flames and dissepeared. "What happened?" Nick went to go check it out. All the medics couldn't explain it. The Avengers all stopped and looked at where her body was. The girl from earlier jumped ontop of a random bus and sat on the edge with her feet dangeling. A laugh escaped her mouth as she looked at the sky.
"Amy!" Everyone gasped. Her eyes traveled down to the group and smile happily. She jumped down and crossed her arms. "What's with all the tears? Don't you know that you can't get rid of me that easily?" No one moved. They were all to stunned. Finally The Hulk ran towards her and scooped her up in a giant bone crushing hug. She laughed lightly. "Hulk was sad that pretty girl died!" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't be sad Hulk. I don't like it when your sad." He set her down and gave her the best smile that he could make.
Widow walked up to me along with Hawkeye. She slapped Amy playfully on the arm. "Ow! Geez, I die and come back only to be abused? Why Widow?" "Shut up." Widow smiled as she engulfed the younger girl in a hug. Amy smiled and returned the favor. When they broke apart Hakeyes ruffled her hair. "Good to have you back squirt." She laughed and looked at the others. Thor gave her a big smile and nodded.
"Miss Mraz! I can't believe you pulled that kind of trick! That was really mean you know?" I smiled at Tony as he stomped over to me in his big old Iron Man suit. "Mr. Stark! I'm sorry, but I like my entrances even if they are a little to dramatic." He glared at me as he pulled me into a hug. "You scared me. I thought we lost you." I winked at him. "I didn't know that the big time Tony Stark got scared!" He playfully shoved me. "Yeah yeah, keep dreaming little Miss Element." I turned around and saw Captain standing there looking at the ground.
I slowly made my way to him as the other started to walk away leaving us alone. "Hey.." He didn't reply, he had me instantly in a hug. "I thought, I thought you were dead Amy." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry for making you sad. I just couldn't let him get away with this and there was one thing to do. Sacrifice myself to save everyone. It was a choice I was willing to make. But I learned how to trick it into thinking I was dead." He gripped me tighter as he sniffed. A tear escaped from my eye. This boy. This one boy knows how to get into my heart. When we were done hugging he smiled at me. "Let's finally go home."
We walked hand in hand as we caught up with the others. Even if he didn't return my feelings for him, I at least know that there is someone out there for me.
Nick let me pick up my stuff from the ship. Before I got off, Nick handed me the deck of cards that Coulson and I used before he died. I gave Nick a small hug and procceded to say good bye to Thor. When I got there, Thor and Loki were standing there with the Tesseract in their hand. I walked up to Thor and gave him a big hug. "Thank you Thor. I really apprciate all that you've done for us and for me. Please, don't be a stranger around here." He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I am in your depth Amy. You truely are beautiful like the glowing sun. Take care of yourself." I smiled at him and looked at Loki with a small smile. Giving him a kiss on the cheek I walked over to Captain and watched the two gods leave.
"Well, who wants to go to Shawarma? My treat." Tony announced getting in his car followed by Bruce. We all agreed. It was a beautiful day and I was intending on taking advantage of it. I nodded and began to walk the other direction. "Amy? Do you need a lift?" Bruce called out. I smiled and shook my head. "I'm fine with walking. It's nice today." Before I knew it, Captain grabbed me and brought me over to his bike. "Your not walking, it's a while away from here." I pouted as he lifted me on the back seat of the bike. "Your like Tony. Always get your way." I said playfully. He laughed and reeved up the bike and took off to the restraunt.
There was really nothing much to the place. Maybe if it wasn't half destroyed then it would be nice. But at least the food was good right? Afterwards Captain offered to take me home. When we pulled up to my house I smiled at him. "Please come inside. I want you too meet my family." He nodded and put the kickstand down. The walk to the door was slow. I turned the knob and notice the only light on in the entire house was the one in the living room. The floor creeked as I walked across the hall way. My mother sat there in her favorite chair listening to soft classical music while sewing. When she heard my footsteps she stopped what she was doing and looked up only to look at me with wide teary eyes. "Amy?" "Mom. I'm home." She dropped the thing she was working on and ran up to me engulfing me in a hug. She cried as we both fell down crying. She kept reapeating that her baby girl was home. Her hands cupped my face as she gave me the biggest smile she could ever have. "My sweet baby girl is safe from saving the world. Oh my!" She looked at Captain and grabbed him hugging him like crazy. "Oh thank you thank you! You brought our little girl home safely. How can we ever repay you?" Captain looked at me and then her and smiled. "Only by making sure that she is safe." My mom bursted into tears. I heard the door open and close. "Honey we're home! Do you know who's bike is.." My dad wasnt' able to finish his question because him and my brother stood at the doorway looking at me. "Is that?" My mom nodded as she kissed my forehead. My dad slowly walked over to me and kneeled in front of me. "My sweet Amy. Your alive and home!" I smiled as he hugged me. Soon my brother joined in on the family renunion while Captain stood back and watched with happiness.
When we were done we all stood up. My father smiled at Capatain. "Did you save our little girl?" Captain smiled. "With all respect sir, she is strong and besides" Captain looked at me and smiiled. "She saved us from ourselves." My father brought him into a hug and laughed. "Your welcome in our house anytime!"
It was time for him to leave. But he promised that he would call and take me out for that dinner like we planned. I wrote my number on his hand and waved goodbye. That night I had the most peaceful, non nightmare filled sleep. Life from now seemed to be moving better.
