AN: Okay, so I know I said I'd have this out sooner, but then I got a job babysitting and life got crazy. Just fyi, babysitting a fussy 2 year old is not the best job in the world, takes a lot of energy and gives you a new appreciation for moms in general. I took some time to watch the Avengers on my time off and this is what I got as a result. I know it's short, but life is hectic.
Chapter Fourteen: The End?
The Avengers sit at the table in the shawarma joint; Thor having used his hammer to pin Loki to the floor in Stark Tower. Anna glances around at the other members of her team knowing that this will hopefully be the last time they will be together for a while. She can tell that everyone is exhausted from the war they have just fought and all are glad that it is over.
Once they have all eaten their fill, on the house according to the owners because they saved the city, they all return to Stark Tower to find Loki exactly where they left him. He looks a bit pathetic, pinned to the floor by Mjolnir, in comparison to his earlier rampaging through the city. After Thor fastens a muzzle of sorts over Loki's mouth and cuffs his hands, he removes Mjolnir and grabs Loki by the arm and nods to the others before leading him to the balcony to fly off to the arranged point in Central Park.
"I'll follow them and meet you there." Anna says softly before kissing Steve on the cheek and taking flight after Thor.
Anna, Thor, and Loki stand in the area of Central Park that is being closely guarded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and wait for the rest of the team to arrive.
"What do you think will happen to him now?" Anna questions Thor as Loki observes his surroundings.
"Whatever father sees as fit punishment, I worry how things will impact the child." Thor replies sadly.
"I'm sure the All Father will take that into consideration, he seems to have a weak spot for the child, at least from what she has shown me. And he's not yet a part of the world. I just hope they are not shunned for what he has done."
The conversation is cut short when the rest of the team shows up and gather around in a half circle.
"This is farewell then." Thor says quietly as he moves to lead Loki to the point where they will be transported using the Tesseract.
Anna grabs his arm quickly and replies, "Not farewell, see you later, I'm sure you will return for Jane soon."
Thor nods and leads Loki to the point where they will leave and lifts the container so that Loki can grab hold of it. Loki nods to Anna, which doesn't go unnoticed by Steve and Bucky. After they disappear, Bucky and Steve turn to Anna and she shakes her head.
"I'll explain later, I promise." She states before taking Steve's hand and leading him to his motorcycle getting on behind him as Bucky gets onto his.
"Where are we going?" Steve asks over his shoulder.
"Just follow Bucky, I gave him directions to my house near Xavier's School, affectionately called Mutant High by the mutants that go there."
Steve nods and starts up his bike as Anna wraps her arms around his waist and leans against his back with a small smile.
The End…?
AN: There you have it, the end of The Life of Annabelle Barnes, I know it's been a long wait and it's taken me over a year, but for now it's over…until the sequel that is! Now some of you may find this strange but I got the idea to put Annabelle into the X Men universe by doing a crossover with The Last Stand (X3) movie. I know this is totally going to alter X3, but I think it's a pretty cool idea. So review and tell me what you think, any ideas and feedback are much appreciated and I will give credit if I put it in my fic. Farewell for now my lovely readers!
