This is it, the final chapter to the third and possibly last installment to my Frozen/Marvel universe. After two crossovers with the X-men and a battle against the Avengers we have finally reached the end. It has been fun, I've worked on this universe for over two years now and it's led to some of my greatest stories. But unless it's Transformers or the Fast and Furious series nothing can last forever. So let's quickly wrap up the last installment of my epic Frozen/Marvel universe.
She didn't have the nerves to face them, not after what she did. As the Avengers attended the funeral for their friend Jane Foster, Elsa watched it from a distance behind a tree, to ashamed of herself to join the others. She blamed herself for Jane's death, if she hadn't had allowed herself to be brainwashed by Loki, if she had fought back the mind control, Jane would still be alive. As she watched as each of the Avengers said their goodbyes and took a rose, Elsa watched in complete silence, tears streaming down her face. Finally when the funeral was over and the Avengers started to leave, Thor laid eyes on Elsa. Elsa stood in silence for a few seconds, wondering what on Earth she could say to him. After all, Thor loved Jane more than any of the other Avengers, they had a relationship, and it was Elsa's fault that Jane was no longer alive.
"I'm so sorry." Elsa said, finally having the nerve to speak. "Truly I am."
Thor let out a deep sigh, he could tell just how guilt stricken Elsa was. "I appreciate that Elsa." Thor than raised his hammer to the sky and beamed back up to Asgard. Thor had Loki's trial to take care of, and now with his father gone, Thor was now the rightful king of Asgard. Thor didn't know how good of a king he would be, or necessarily how he would handle the throne. But one thing he did know was that he would make sure Loki would never harm anyone else again. He was going to lock Loki away for life, and this time, he would make sure he never got out.
Less then a hour later Elsa was sitting on the edge of the balcony of her ice castle. A couple years ago this was the castle she made when she ran away from the X-men after she accidentally struck Rogue with her powers. Now however she was using the castle as a way to get away and just ponder in her guilt. All she wanted to do was get justice for those who lost there lives because of Ultron. But instead she ended up making everything worse and causing a innocent person her life. She was just like Stark in her eyes. And now she had to live with the death of a innocent person for the rest of her life. How could she forgive herself after something like this?
As she sat on her balcony, her head hung low in guilt and tears streaming down her face, Tony Stark flew up to her in his Iron Man suit and sat beside her on the balcony.
"Your sister said I could probably find you here." Tony said taking off his helmet as he sat down and looked at the view from the castle balcony. "Wow what a view, you can probably see all of New York City up here."
"How many people Stark?"
"Excuse me?"
"How many people died because of me?"
"Oh no don't think that Elsa it's not your fault."
"Yes it is!" Elsa sobbed standing up as she let the tears flow harder. "It is my fault, I allowed this to happen, I allowed Loki to possess me, to use me like a puppet in his sick plan! I allowed it to happen because I was to obsessed in my quest to kill you. I thought if I punished you for creating Ultron that I would finally have peace and Arendelle would go back to the way it was before hand. But all I did was make things worse. Many S.H.I.E.L.D agents died because of me, than Asgard got attacked while I was under Loki's spell causing many Asgardians to die, and then your friend got murdered and I attacked New York, the city I called home for thirteen years! I called New York home for thirteen years and I nearly leveled it to the ground Tony, that was not you, that was me! How can I live with myself knowing everything that I allowed to happen? How can you not hate me for what I did to you? You deserve to hate me Tony, you deserve to kill me. Part of me wants you kill me! So why want you?"
"You want the honest answer? It is because I see myself in you. Believe it or not Elsa you and me are not that much different."
"What do you mean?"
"I ain't no saint my own self Elsa, I have made plenty of mistakes. A few of them nearly cost me my life and the the life of the people closest to me. I've struggled with alcohol abuse, gave a terrorist my home address, and of course created a droid that nearly destroyed the whole planet."
"How are you able to find peace? Knowing everything you have done?"
"Well for one looking at all the positive things I have done. Elsa you are the Queen of Arendelle, your people loves you. They wouldn't love you the way they do unless they believe you have done a good job with the kingdom. And despite your mistake Elsa, your heart was in the right place. You wanted justice for those that lost their lives due to my mistake, I cannot fault you for that nor will I. You made a mistake the way you handled the situation, but it was only because I made a mistake first. We're both human Elsa, just because you are a mutant doesn't mean you won't make the mistakes a human does. Now the question is how will you handle your mistake now that you have realized it. Will you continue to mope around and feel sorry for yourself and isolate yourself from your family and friends again. Or will you forgive yourself, move on and learn from it and fix it?"
"I don't know how to forgive myself Tony after something like this?"
"Sometimes it is hard. Sometimes the bigger the mistake the harder it is to forgive yourself. But the sooner you accept that what is done is done, than the sooner you can can find peace. Elsa please, you started this whole mission in order to bring peace, don't let guilt stop you from bringing peace to yourself and your people. Your kingdom deserves to have peace again, it needs you to be at peace and be strong. Take it from someone who had walked in your shoes before, I have made lots of mistakes, to many to count, and I have hit rock bottom on countless occasions. You think you are alone but your not. So please I beg you Elsa, don't make the same mistakes I have, you need to be strong you need to forgive yourself, not just for your people, but for yourself as well."
"I will try Tony, I honestly will. But it won't come easy."
"Your right Elsa, it won't. But it will happen. I have faith in you." Tony then activated the rockets in his suit and started to fly back before hovering himself in front of where Elsa was standing. "Want to fly back?"
"If it's okay with you Tony, I think I would like to stay here for a little bit longer."
"Good luck Elsa." Tony then flew away leaving Elsa alone in her thoughts. Tony was right, she needed to be strong for her people. If they saw her vulnerable then they to would feel vulnerable. She still didn't quite know how, but she knew she had to try.
It was about a hour and a half later before Elsa arrived back to the X mansion. Most everybody had since left and returned back to their normal lives including the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Big Hero Six and Spiderman. All that was left in the mansion was the X-men themselves since it was their home, Elsa Kristoff and Anna, Eugene and Rapunzel, Merida, and Mr. Incredible and Punisher.
Eugene was packing his things ready to head back to Corona with Rapunzel when Mr. Incredible and Punisher opened the door.
"You got a minute Archer?" Mr. Incredible asked
"I guess" Eugene said. "What's up?"
"Well me and Punisher have been looking into what you said and turns out your telling the truth and we apologize for the pain we have caused."
"Well I accept that." Eugene said
"One thing I don't understand though" Punisher said "Why willingly let the world believe you are a criminal, you could have done so much good as the Archer, became a inspiration for so many people, so why didn't you?"
"Because Corona didn't need him." Eugene said "Corona was going through the darkest time in it's history. I put on the hood to hunt down those terrorizing the kingdom. Once I knew the kingdom would never accept the Archer and when I found that the true culprit was someone the kingdom admired I allowed everybody to think that the Archer was the person behind the attacks because I knew the kingdom would accept it better then the actual truth. The kingdom would have lost there faith in the monarchs if they knew that a well beloved employee of their's was actually a criminal. So to protect that truth, the Archer became the face of evil and I made him disappear."
"Then why make his come back? You could made him stay dead, but instead you risk your safety and freedom by bringing him back, why?"
"Because Elsa is a friend? And she needed him to return."
"So what are you going to do now that this is over?"
"Now the Archer can die again, this time for good. I never wanted to be a vigilante, I just wanted to live a normal life with Rapunzel. But that got put on hold when I donned this hood and bow. Now maybe I can get back to that normal life I dreamed of."
"Let me ask one more thing, what if the world needed the Archer again?"
"Hopefully it doesn't."
"But what if it does?"
"Then I will make whatever decision is best." Eugene finished packing his things in his suitcase and walked out the room. "Take care."
Elsa was staring out the window of her old bedroom in the mansion lost in thought about everything Tony told her. She didn't notice Charles wheeling himself in until he called out for her.
"There you are Elsa, your sister and friends are about to leave and are waiting for you."
"Charles." Elsa said in a depressed and guilty voice.
"Elsa?" Charles responded concerned
"I don't deserve you."
"Explain?"
"You have been nothing but loving and patient to me since I first arrived here as a child. You treated me like any other one of your students. You were a father figure to me and I have been absolutely ungrateful toward you. I have been stubborn, careless, I ignored all your warning when you tried to tell me I was going down the wrong path. I don't deserve to be called your student, I don't deserve to be called a X-men."
To Elsa's surprise Charles just chuckled at what Elsa said. "Now Elsa no need to be a drama queen now. Do you know how many times a student of mine has lost their way before? Logan has fallen out with me more times then I can count yet has always found his way back. You are not the first student of mine to have stumbled but you have picked yourself back up."
"Yeah but this has happened twice now, and this time I put your whole team in the crossfire."
"Elsa Logan has gotten in more fights and more arguments with me than I can count, and has quit the team on more then one occasion too."
"Yeah I think he did that two or three times since I've been here now that I think about it." Elsa said
"He did but each time he realized his error and came crawling back. I will never give up on you as long as you realize your error and learn from it. You may no longer be a child but you are still young and are still growing. Your going to stumble and fall, but it's how you react to those mistakes that will shape you in the future. You have grown to be a smart and strong young woman, and one that I am proud to call a student and X-men."
Elsa smiled and bent down to give Charles a hug. Words like that is why she considered her a father figure. He always knew the right things to say. "You have always been here for me Charles."
"And I always will be. No matter how far you go, you will always be a X-men."
"I'll come and visit for Christmas Charles, this is not goodbye I swear."
"I'll be waiting for you with hot coco and open arms. Now come Elsa, I believe your sister and friends are waiting for you in the lobby."
Charles led Elsa to the lobby where the others were all packed and waiting for her. After giving all the other X-men including Deadpool a hug goodbye she boarded her plane and flew off.
As Merida flew the plane, Elsa closed her eyes and thought about everything that both Tony and Charles told her. That is when she started to feel something she hadn't felt since the Ultron attacks, hope and peace. Tony was right, she would be able to forgive herself, maybe even sooner then what she thought she would.
"Are you okay okay over there Elsa?" Anna asked noticing Elsa's eyes closed.
"I will be Anna," Elsa said "I will be." A small smiled curled on her face as she soon drifted to sleep there on the plane, yep, she would be okay.
End Credit scene:
Deadpool walked out of a bedroom dressed in nothing but a bathrobe as he stared at the camera. "What are you looking at?" Deadpool asked "The story's over, turn off your laptop, get off your ass and go do something? Oh I get it, your probably waiting for a preview to the next story are you, expecting Sam Jackson in a eye patch to show up and offer Elsa a membership to the Avengers huh? Well bad news that ain't going to happen. See this is the last story in this series, after three stories plus a spin off the author is done with this series. But don't worry he still has plenty other stories to keep you people with no life entertained while you sit on your ass and surf the web. That being said if by some chance when Avengers Infinity War comes out and the author thinks he can do something with that story then he might make a forth installment. But please don't hold your breath for it. Seriously don't, the movie ain't going to be out for over a year that would be a long time to hold your breath and you might pass out and die. Now if you excuse me, I got to go bang GoGo over Fred's car again. You ready GoGo?"
"Ready Wade dear." GoGo said walking up to him also in a bathrobe and walking off "Oh when we're done there can we also do it on his bed, Fred won't be back home for a week so he will never know."
"I like the way you think doll face."
Definite End.
And that's a wrap, thank you to everybody who took the time to read this story. As Deadpool said in the end credit scene it is possible that after Infinity wars comes out I might do a fourth installment. But that is only if I can think of a good way of doing it so don't get your hopes up to much.
Please fill free to check out my other stories and until next time this is Jpbake signing off. *drops the mic and a animated Deadpool comes out and plays music while the end credits roll.*
