Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated for ages but I've been trying to think of ways to end the story before the Avengers movie comes out. So there is going to be one more chapter after this one and then the story is finished I'm afraid.

Chapter 12

It had been 2 weeks since Edana died and the team still mourned for her, some more than others. Tony, Clint, Natasha and Darcy were the most upset. People were surprised to see Natasha so upset, but they forgot that the two were like sisters and had known each other for many years.

The team were in New York again as Loki had launched another attack. He obviously was not bothered by his sister's death, or he had odd ways of showing his emotions. Clint was currently shooting the mass of aliens that had appeared out of nowhere. He ran across the deserted street to get to safety, but was instead shot in the shoulder. He yelled out in pain and dropped to the floor. He tried to shuffle behind an upturned car, but failed. That was when he felt familiar arms around his waist.

The arms helped move him across to his desired location. He looked up and his heart stopped as he saw Edana in front of him. Her hair was a darker shade of brown, but her eyes were the same crystal blue. She took off the hard material covering his chest so she could see his wound. It was bleeding heavily and Clint winced as she touched it. She let a few drops of her tears fall onto his wound, he watched in amazement as it closed up and the blood disappeared. He cupped her cheek and his lips crashed onto hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck bringing his body closer to her own. "God I missed you." He said between kisses. She rested her forehead on his. "I did say I'll come back didn't I?" He tightened his grip on her waist. "Yeah, but I didn't know you would take that long. Just don't leave me again." She nodded and kissed him again.

"EDANA!" She turned to see Thor, Natasha and Tony running towards her. Edana stood up and almost fell over when Natasha threw herself at her. The Russian buried her face into Edana's neck. "You better not leave me again you bitch." She said, her voice muffled. The goddess laughed. "I won't I promise." Natasha was then replaced with Tony. "Miss me Tin man?" She said. He tightened his grip on her waist. "Of course I did, you're my best friend and I've known you since I was eighteen." She smiled at him when he retreated from her. Thor gave her a hug. "It is pleasure to have you back again sister." She smiled.

Edana turned back to Clint and grabbed his hands. "Clint I've got to tell you something important. When I come back to life, I'm usually in the same condition as the person as I was before. So if I was ill in one life and came back as that person I would be ill." She tightened her grip. "Or say if I was pregnant before I would still be pregnant when I come back." His mouth dropped open. "Y-you're pregnant?" She nodded. "With...my child?" She nodded again and his face lit up before bending down so he was face to face with her stomach. "Hey baby, this is your daddy. Me and mommy are going to love you forever and ever. And you better have your mother's eyes, but even if you don't I'll love you anyway." He stood back up and Edana brought him into a tight hug.

She felt him tense and she turned to see Loki behind her, he was cuffed and she guessed he had lost the battle. "Edana." He said to her. "Loki." She said back in an unemotional tone. "I'm going back to Asgard to receive my punishment." She nodded and he carried on. "I might not see you again depending on the punishment, so I came to say sorry." He was shocked when she gave him a hug but rested his chin on her head. After a couple of seconds she backed away. "I hope you are severely punished...but I love you still." He half smiled at her. Thor grabbed onto his younger brother's arms. "Come Loki for I must escort you back home." The two went leaving the team behind.

"Can we go home...I want to see Darcy and sleep." They nodded and made their way back home.

Tada! Just one more chapter guys until the end of the journey! I'll add the last chapter tomorrow if I have time. So until then, review and be patient.
