Leo P.O.V
I knew summoning the Vex was a bad idea and now I had undeniable proof of that. The unmoving body of my closet freind. The man I thought as my brother dead his being cradled by his girlfriend who was balling her eyes out beging him to come back.
"Why isn't he resurrecting. I thought you Guardians could come back from the dead! So why isn't he coming back?!" She yelled at us in despair. Finally Click did appeare and started trying to resurect Avery.
"There's too much latent darkness in the the area not mention he was killed by Crota's sword. I can't ressurect him alone." Click said.
"Can you?" Batman asked.
"I don't know for certain but if I can I am going to need alot of light to do it if its even possible." Click answered.
"Please you have to try." Diana begged.
"Not here were too close to the fighting." Jayden said. "This passage leads to the outskirts of the city."Jayden said as pointed down the tunnel. Diana picked up Avery's body and we began walking down the tunnel.
"So that Crota guy really hates Avery dosen't he." Flas said obliviously trying to start somesort of conversation to pass the time.
"Avery is the one that killed him." I said bluntly.
"With his own sword at that." Jayden added.
"But why? What could justify that?" Flash asked. Both me and Jayden stopped in our tracks and looked at him.
"I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that." I said.
"It's a valid question." Flash said.
"No it isn't." Jayden said.
"I would like to know as well. For all we now you started this war and are getting us involved in order to cover your trakes." Superman said.
BANG*
I had moved fast enough to grab Jayden's arm and force it upwards and make him miss his shot with his Golden Gun.
"Let me go Leo." Jayden said furiously.
"Killing him is a waste of time and energy as well as causing us more problems down the road." I said calmly. Despite my exterior calm I was just as furious as Jayden. I know Superman didn't like Avery that much was obvious. But this was just ridiculous.
"Just let me shoot him." Jayden seethed.
"Put the fire out or I will break your arm." I said. If anything the fire on his gun burned hotter. He was probably trying to burn me off. I didn't let him. So in one swift move I snapped his arm breaking it and causing him to drop the Golden Gun. To Jayden's credit he didn't scream or yell in pain he just stumbled back in shock. I turned around and looked at the Justice Leauge. Each member had a different look on their face. Diana was obviously furious and if it wasn't for the fact that she was holding Avery she probably would of attacked Superman as well. Batman looked rather angry at Superman clearly not liking what he had said. Flash had a look of remorse on his face he had unintentionally atarted this. Green Lantern had the most neutral reaction though I could tell he was ready to try and stop a fight, the way he was standing and his body language screamed soldier. Superman himself was looking rather shocked at my brutal display. In one swift move I punch him in the face blood spurting out from his nose. As he fell back I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back to me allowing me to punch him again drawing more blood. Finally I picked him up by his neck and slammed him into the side wall.
"The only reason I haven't broken your spine yet is because then I'd have to drag your sorry hide back to the surface with us." I said finally allowing my rage out. "Now you are going to take back what you just said about Avery because that man has been through the definition of hell and back. He has seen the people he loved murdered, He has fought on every battlefield from the ruins of old Chicago to the jungles of Venus and the Hive dreadnought. He has seen the worst monsters in the galaxy and has slain them. He is a Guardian of mankind, he help build the walls that keep humanity safe. You are nothing compared to him and I will not let you walk all over his name. Now apologize to both Diana and Jayden or I will break your spine." I said. I released some of my grip inorder for him to speak.
"I'm sorry. I truly am not just because I'm at your mercy. I went too far. I'm scared alright, I'm scared. Before you Guardians came along I really only had one person to be truly scared of. But time after time seeing Avery demonstrate just how powerful he is, it began to scare me. I keep seeing a threat were there is none. Finally after witnessing a beast that even scared him, I cracked I have no idea what to do and I'm panicking. I truly am sorry for suggesting that Avery is a traitor. I owe him as much as an apology as I do to all of you." Superman said. Finally after his admission of guilt I dropped him.
"Morgan." My ghost appeared over my shoulder and spoke.
"He's not lying." Morgan said. A loud crack could be heard coming from Jayden as he pushed his arm back into place. Kreig floated above him and was about to heal him when he put his hand up stopping Kreig.
"Save your light for someone who needs it. We have wasted enough time already." Jayden said as he began to walk down the tunnel. "And Superman consider yourself on a short leash." Jayden finished. We continued to walk in silence the rest ofbthe way until we could see a light at the end of the tunnel. We exited the tunnel and entered a large amphitheater. Many trees were growing around it making it for quite the beautiful sight. I heard a crashing noise and turned around to see Lantern and Superman blasting the tunnel we had come out of causing it to collapse.
"Put Avery down. Kreig, Morgan I need you too. Jayden, Leo I need you two to puls as much of your Light as you can into your Ghosts then into me I'm going to need alot of light if we are going to overpower the effects of Crota's sword." Click said urgently. We all took our place and started funneling our light into Click finally after five minutes of this Click shot out a massive beam of light hitting Avery's body. The light blinded all of us. Finally when the light died down we were able to see Avery's body. At first nothing happened and I was beginning to worry that it didn't work but the Avery shot up gasping greedily for air.
Avery P.O.V
I don't know how long I was out or if anything happened but all I could remember was taking a blow ment for Diana. Diana I loved the woman without a shadow of a doubt. The next thing I remembered was a blinding flash of light, far larger than the ones that would normally happen when a guardian was resurrected. The next thing I knew air filled my lungs and shot up gasping for air. I felt a something crash into me and two arms wrap around me and something soft crashed onto my lips. My mind went into overdrive at what it could be reflexes almost took over. But before I could incinerate, disintegrate or atomize what was on me I managed to get a look at my "attacker" and I immediately recognized Diana. I didn't know how I was alive but I didn't care. I quickly wrapped my arms around her and kissed back. She broke off the kiss and hugged me tightly.
"I thought I had lost you." Diana said.
"Can you guys give us a bit of room." I asked. Jayden, Leo, and the Leauge members all quickly vacated the area. Once they were gone I pressed my head against hers. "Don't cry I'm right here." I said.
"I thought you were dead, I don't want to lose you." She said.
"I'm not going anywhere Diana." I said. It was weird seeing her like this so distraught.
"When you were hit I didn't know what to do." She said in between sobs.
"It's alright. I'm alright. Just let it out." I said as I gently caressed her head. After everything that had happened to her today it was no wonder she was at her breaking point. We stayed like this for a few minutes. "We can talk more later. But there is still work to be done." I said as I got up and helped her up.
"Please promise me you'll be careful. You got lucky with Click being able to bring you back." She asked.
"I promise you won't have to go through that again." I said to her. We walked out of the amphitheater and joined the others save for Jayden.
"Jayden went to go see how the battle was progressing." Leo said.
"Before we continue I would like say something." Superman began. "Avery before you arrived I only feared one person But after I met you and began to understand your powers I began to fear you. In my fear I imagined a threat that wasn't their. I started to become paranoid around you even to the oint Batman was saying I was too paranoid. I am sad to say it got so bad after seeing Oryx and Crota I panicked and blamed you for their evil. I took quite literally Leo betting sense into forme to see reason and for that I thank him and I would also like to apologize to you." Superman said. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit after his hole speech. Which earned me an appropriate elbow to my side. "What is it?" Superman asked worried.
"He gave you one of his Titan speeches didn't he." I said.
"Y-yes." Superman said confused.
"I forgive you and honestly I have seen far worse cases of paranoia than yours." I said.
"Why would you forgive me so easily?" He asked.
"Would you rather me hold a grudge? Besides I have far more important grudges to worry about. Such as an angry Hive god who is going to be royally pissed when he finds out I'm not dead." I said
"Sorry to interrupt your bonding session. But we have a major development down here." Jayden's voice aid over the communicator.
"What is happening?" Leo asked worried.
"Well it's not what is happening more what isn't happening." Jayden said. That's wheni noticed something was off about the background noises coming from Jayden's end. There weren't any.
"What do you mean?" Leo asked concerned.
"That's just it there gone. No Hive, no Vex Just gone." Jayden said grimly.
