This is an Avengers and Tokyo Ghoul crossover, as well as my first fanfiction. I have already published the beginnings of this story on Wattpad under the username WhatAmIDoingWithMyLife? ( Yallpeeps), which I only mention in case someone accuses my of taking credit for someone else's work. Anyway, this story has not been betaed, and while it has been read over by me, I doubt that I got everything. Feel free to point out incorrect grammar, spelling, etc. I honestly want feedback.
I will warn you now that updates will be inconsistent, but I will try to make them at least 1000 words in length (the first few chapters are pretty short, sorry).
Last thing before we get to the story: there are a few things that I altered from canon that you might want to look at before you start reading.
1. I have changed the time line of the end of the first into the second season of the anime. Kaneki spent more time with Jason and a longer time with Aogiri. That said, for the most part, everything that happened in the anime did happen in this story, I'm just adding things in between.
2. I'm changing the Avengers's ages. They are all in their late twenties to early thirties, instead of mid thirties to early forties. The exception will be Peter, who is still a teen.
3. I'm changing the ghoul lore ever so slightly by giving them the ability to drink alcoholic beverages. Other than that, most of the ghoul lore will be based off of the anime's interpretation (though I might include a few things from the manga since I recently started to read it)
it is set after the Age of Ultron, S.H.I.E.L.D is still active and Fury is still "alive." If only to make things easier, civil war never happened either, despite Spiderman being involved.
5.I just wanted to warn you that Tony is going to be a jerk for a good half of this fic, but there is a reason for it so please bare with me for now.
is going to be slash in this FanFiction. Kaneki is gay, and there will eventually be a pairing with him (though I haven't fully decided yet). That said, this is not a romance story. There will still be some cringe worthy romance moments (because I can't write romance to save my life), but most of the book is, well, not.
Rated M for: Blood, gore, language, abuse, drinking, torture, talk of self harm, talk of suicide, talk of rape, fighting (i guess that counts), insanity (I am warning that while I looked up a good majority of these diseases, I am no psychologist and probably messes up explanations), and smoking (again, I guess that counts)
I don't own anything but the plot: please give credit to where it is deserved
Intro:
There was a dull throbbing in Kaneki's skull. Tears ran down his pale cheeks. Hide, was all he thought. He heard Touka scream for him in the background, but he ignored it and continued to walk through the crowded street. His best friend's body limp in his arms.
The spotlights from the helicopters were blinding, the sound was deafening. CCG agents stared at him in a mix of shock, fear, and disgust as he walked by; but none tried to stop him. They were too busy dealing with their own wounded. In their eyes he was the enemy. He was their enemy. But he didn't lack understanding of their position. They had been pitted against ghouls, ghouls against them for years now.
And it seems Kaneki had killed almost as many as they have taken from him tonight. He had no right to resent their stares.
Kaneki's heart still aches. Everyone was dead, everyone but him and Touka. Now Kaneki would leave her too, like the coward he was.
He kept walking until he stood directly in front of the white haired CCG agent Arima. Slowly, he laid Hide down in the white snow.
It's weird how the dead don't look human anymore. Kaneki had never really noticed it before. The light was lacking in their faces, the life from their eyes. Their bodies seemed broken and… wrong somehow. It shattered what was left of Kaneki's heart when the white snow was stained red under his friend.
He turned back to Arima and let out his Kagune. Not that he would actually fight. Why would he fight? Everything seemed pointless. He had destroyed himself, hurt the people he loved; even converted himself into a cannibal in order to become stronger and protect his friends. Yet now, he was the reason they are dead.
Snow started to stick to Kaneki's hair and skin. It refused to melt. It seems that Kaneki really was as cold as he felt.
Kaneki looked straight into Arima's eyes. There was no emotion. There was nothing. As if putting on a mask, Kaneki mirrored the expression. Arima raised his sword and Kaneki was ripped from the world he knew.
