Chapter 13
Kagome was back at the compound that was starting to be called new soul society for the time being. Since no one was able to get into the soul society since thanos did what he had done. Whole someone named Scott came in today and she was wondering what was going on here. And how does thig guy fit in. as she watched this newcomer stride over to the table and pick up Natasha abandoned sandwich. As his soul sang. And apparently not a stranger to Steve and Natasha. Which made her feel better about the way he kept pacing and jerking around. Full of busy and nervous energy. He showed up out of the blue and unannounced throwing a wrench into their carefully constructed existence. Most of what he said went right over most of their heads.
"Not of course. Not a time machine. It's more like, well yeah, it's a time machine, I know, its freaking crazy, but I can't stop thinking there got to be some way. it's crazy." Said Scott
"It's not crazy at all." said Kagome
Kagome arched a brow and knew that someone must have made a machine to break through the time gates themselves. It seemed that came down to the fact that there was nothing. Yes, there were some laws are being broken here with the time gates. But it was something that they could use. Since the time gates has been down since thanos killed inu no taisho with the snap thing. But they would be able to use something like this to get what they needed to bring things back to what they once were. It was something that they could think on there, natasha knew there was something going on with Kagome since she was going on with this plan.
Meanwhile a few days later
Kagome sat next to Scott in the dinner booth and tried to follow along while they explained their new situation to Bruce. Who had supposedly made peace with his other side. And morphed into an interesting mix of the hulk and Bruce. Orihime seemed to not be having any issues with it. She kind of enjoyed it. that same peace has also been enveloped tony. Who been so very broken when she first met him. She could not blame him at all for not wanting to help them. She has insisted on leaving him alone. Though Steve would probably have argued over those thoughts. while Bruce seemed was a little more willingly to play along with them. and he didn't want to piss off his wife who has her mother temper.
Meanwhile a month later
The arrival of tony stark and his proclamation of having solved the time traveling dilemma added a fresh undercurrent of excitement. Tony in his natural element since he was thrilled to be working with bulma brief daughter. He never would of thought that he would be able to do something like that. and got to meet the woman herself. Even though his tower is way more advanced now.
meanwhile three months later
After everything everyone does now, they are traveling through time where they all were going to be sent. While Kagome was going to where Loki is. But after seeing the fight was over. She was going to see if he would be able to talk to her. but she could feel rocket pull on her hands. He Kagome approached Loki with tears streaming down her face. his emerald eyes flashed in her direction. Then widened as he scrambled up over to meet where the glass meant between them. Kagome had tears streaming down her face since she wanted to have this moment last until she was able to bring him back to life again.
"Oh, my Loki" cried Kagome
"Oh, my darling demonic angel. don't cry for me. Not for me." Said Loki
But cry she did. Wrapped her arms around itself. She wanted to hold him so much. While rocket had tears in his eyes. He had never ever seen something so in love before. And he was not sure how to react after hearing the stories about this male. It was as if he was not like the person who was the attacker, but this was much different. Kagome whipped her eyes. Loki was wondering what was going on and why she was making such emotions.
"I've missed you so much," cried Kagome
"My love, what is going on? asked Loki
Loki sensed whatever lies she prepared before she even had a chance to use them. and there was a shrewd look in her eyes that made her feel bare and exposed as well. He was not sure what was going on when it came down to what was going on with his beloved. Kagome sighed and looked down and bit her lip. Desperate to let it all out. To tell him everything she felt and feared. And dared to hope as well. but there was so much at risk now. She cares to mess up the laws of time as they already are messed up as it was. So, she would need to keep some things to herself. Since she was not sure how it was going to not mess up things.
" I just can't tell you." cried Kagome
" Kagome, I shouldn't have to remind you that you can tell me anything. What happened?" asked Loki
Kagome sighed and knew she was not going to be able to tell him much. But the rocket felt bad for poor Kagome. and the poor man she loved just wanted to be with his wife. But the issues are not with what they must do right now. He was going to let her have this. While she was going to have to tell some of the things. As she met his eyes and nearly crumpled. She pressed a little closer and memorized everything wave and curse of his long hair that hadn't been appreciated the last time she saw him. so, she wished she was able to fix it for him. Kagome took a deep breath and knew that it was time to get to the point.
" Loki I there so much… for now. all I can tell you is that this is the first time I have seen you in nearly ten years.' Said Kagome
"How is that even possible." Said Loki
"See I can't tell you that. but I am fixing things. I promise you I'm going to make everything better. I will just trust me," pleaded Kagome
"Darling. I have trusted only you.' said Loki
Kagome sighed and beamed up at him. but Loki eyed her for a moment. But her words and then smile were loving and confident. And secure. But she was elated despite her disappointment, she couldn't throw herself and kiss him senselessly and other stuff as well. the way she had in her dreams repeatedly. The pager they all been given to signal that the time to go if they were separated chirped from its place in her pocket. She sighed and she wished she had longer. While Loki sighed and wondered what was going on. and why was she wearing something so stupid in the first place. It was all the things that he wanted to ask.
"Listen to me Loki, I'm coming back to see you again. Today very soon. I need you to pretend that it the first time you seem me since I been here. Can't you do that." said Kagome
"Will you be wearing that ridiculous clothing again?" asked Loki
Kagome snickered oh how she missed his way of thinking. And sadly, this was the worst she has ever placed on. she wanted to kick tony in the ass for this. But it would be something that she should avoid. But Loki sighed and knew that he was going to agree with her. and she took on a long lingering look at the blessed sight of her living breathing heart. And then she forced herself to turn and run up into the hole that she had been stolen from intent of finding Thor and rocket. Since they were here right now. and needed to head back as soon as possible.
Meanwhile a year later
A keen awareness of potential for doom prompted Kagome to slip into her cosmos form. There was simply no possessable way to know how the stones might react. Gearing up to use them to undo what thanos had done felt a lot like getting ready to destroy naraku. Would they get exactly what they asked for. Or was there a dark, immutable will within the stones that would twist their desire and deliver something wared and tainted. As far as she was concerned, when you started messing with a powerful artifact you could never be too careful. And while she wasn't sure about just what her powers and weapons would be able to do if things went south. Even her friends and family as well. it made her feel vulnerable to have their comfortable weight resting between her shoulders.
Kagome she apparently wasn't the only one letting their nerves get the best of them. Steve had his shield her mother infused it with something more. While everyone was either transformed or in them other forms. Or with their weapons or powers. The storm breaker rested against a swat next to one of Thor was waiting silently in casually tossing and catching the newly required weapon. And Bruce was a weapon on himself. Armed to the teeth and dangerous it made Kagome feel a little less like they were going in blind to know they were all ready to throw down at a moment turned her attention to the stones where they glittered in the gauntlet tony crafted with her mother and others.
It seemingly innocuous with their shimmering rainbow colors. There was an unmistakable feeling of power surrounding each one. Nearly perfectly balanced between light and dark. It would be impossible to predict which way they would tilt the scale. It was possible they were a wholly new tool that operated exactly as the user intended. With no inherent malice or shady will of their own. Kagome was startled harshly out of her searching by hand coming down firmly on her shoulder. And her head whipped around. Only to meet tony stark worried gaze.
"You ok their kid? You looked possessed for a minute." Said tony
"Tony really? I'm no kid, I'm far, far older than you, my friend." Said Kagome
Tony smiled and hadn't remembered about her being a few thousand years old. But she looked so young frozen in time basically. He was in shock when he was told what and who she was. And what she had done. And most of all how she healed him. the queen of the moon and the earth. And oddly enough Loki wife. That was a huge shocker. And the whole thing about what she showed them made sense when they told him what she revealed to them when she tried to clear her husband's name. but he was still shocked about all of this. Pepper was so close to her, and he was happy she had someone to understand what she was going through at the time.
"Don't remind me, big guy here doing the honors. So go ahead and step back with everyone else." Said tony
Kagome blushed a little to notice that the gauntlet on his hand and the backlash of power because of using them laid out in a giant flat in his back. arm smoking and they all rushed forward to make sure he was alright. Tony sprayed his arm with something to put out the smolder and soothe the pain while Kagome concentrated her power through his veins to heal what she could of the damage. But it was so extensive. As she tended to her wounded friend, she did her best to ignore the rest of the crap with ringing phones. People running to and from and the fever pitch chatter f trying to determine the effectiveness of Bruce use of the stones. Bruce groaned in pain. She and tony combined efforts to sooth him taking more time than was appreciated up against the immense damage the stones had wrought. But they were making little progress. He may not be able to use this arm again. At least not any time soon. But he wouldn't have to be in pain for too much longer.
"Hey guys. I think I worked." Said Scott
Kagome heard Scott say something in the distant background. Nearly missed with most of her focus turned to healing. Usagi met tony eyes. And for a moment elation sparked as they comprehended what that meant. They don't do it. they defied time and fate and destiny. Even though she knew the rules of the time gates would not be broken from this. And most of all will be brought back so many soles a crossed the universe that had been lost. Tony opened his mouth to speak, and everything went dark for everyone around them.
