2 Weeks later
Mystery persons Pov
"Why is he not moving?" He asked
"Be patient." I smirked
"No! I promised to help you but you promised not to kill the boy." He protested "Whens the last time you feed him?"
"He has been feed! And you're my brother you are obligated to help me." I warned
"Well our sister isn't." He countered
"She is a bastard a mistake; mother fell in love with that despicable man and she was the product." I snapped
"Madison is not a mistake nor a bastard!" He snapped
"Starfox...mother fell in love with a mortal." I said
"He is a great mortal to, sure he has made some mistakes but he protects his planet." Starfox said
"He has died how many times?" I countered
"But how many times has he survived death Thanos?" He smirked
"Go get the boy some food." I ordered Starfox grumbled and sighed while he got that boy some food I sat down in front of the boy and watched as his breathing became shallower and shallower.
"You were a fighter Arno, you know when my father told me that my doom was to fall to a Greek god I thought he meant someone like your cousins lover Ares but then you were born and I was slightly shocked, but maybe it is him, but will never know because now I'm changing my fate." I chuckled Arno tried to bring his head up to look up at me but his head slumped back down. I started to laugh whole heartily and I saw him tense. He honestly looked terrible, his hair dripping from sweat but sticking to his face, he had dry blood all over him, he had bruises and cuts all over his torso and back he had a swollen eye and a deep gash across the right eye ending near his jaw, he had a deep cut on his lip all the way to the end of his chin. His arms were shaking from the weight, his legs were still bleeding from the last beating, his ears were bright red from the pain. His eyes were no longer the brilliant blue he use to have they were dark blue almost grey with hatred, pain, anger, madness and I loved it. I was making him suffer soon he would break and when he did I would be right there enjoying every little second. There was a flicker in his eye as if he finally knew who I was.
"Thanos." He spat I heard the fire in his words and some how he got the strength and he looked up at me and spat blood in my face "You destroyed my family you're trying to kill me, your jealous of your brother and sister, lost the love of your life, racing to get the last gem and you can't even find it because your putting all your hope in a mere boy. Your a punk, scared, playing your cards safe." He tried to laugh but it came out as a cackle. I got up and punched him he groaned and laid his head back down.
"No one talks to me like that." I warned
"Well I'm almost dead so I'll be the first." He smirked
"And last." I added He winced at the pain he was feeling and I smirked I turned and started to walk out of the room.
"You're never going to find it." He shouted
"How do you know that?" I questioned
"Because I just do." He said.
Madison's Pov
I was laying down on the bed trying to fall back asleep but Tristan kept waking me up and checking to see if I felt ok. I knew he was trying to be sweet but it was getting on my damn nerves. "Tristan you wake me up one more time and your on the couch." I warned he looked at me sheepishly and smiled
"I'm sorry I'm just nervous." He said
"Nervous about what? I'm only 3 weeks pregnant we don't even know the gender yet." I laughed
"I know." He sighed he looked at me with those intense green eyes and I melted under his gaze and leaned up and gave him a sweet kiss. He leaned his head on my head and looked up at me.
"Get some sleep." I smiled he nodded and laid back down. I sat up wide awake trying to go back to sleep but something kept bugging me. Every sense Arno disappeared Starfox has been gone too, and its not like him not to at least drop by once or twice a day. I gently got out of the bed and walked around the castle looking for Starfox. I heard something it sounded like grunting sounds and mumbling coming out of the kitchen. I put an invisible shield around me and the baby so if it was something I knew we were protected.
I crept around the hallway and into the back of the kitchen, I hid behind one of the huge stoves and looked around, I didn't see anyone and I popped up. Looking around and listening for anything but I heard nothing. "Hello?" I called out I heard a little bit of rustling behind some pots I tip toed over there but it was nothing. "Alright I'm not joking get the hell out!" I shouted I listened as I heard more rustling and then footsteps I couldn't see the person but I could hear them. I turned around and when I saw the person I felt my whole world start to crash down in a spiral; fireworks in all.
"Madison?" He asked
"Dad?" I sneered I heard a loud thunder of footsteps
"Madison!" I heard Tristan yell
"I'm in the kitchen." I shouted back he ran into the room and when he saw my father stopped dead in his tracks. He came beside me and wrapped his arms around me protectively.
"What are you doing here?" Tristan demanded
"Our sensors were showing that there was a lot of power here in this castle so I came to check it out." He replied I narrowed my eyes at him and pursed my lips and look at Tristan.
"Could you gives a few minutes babe?" I asked sweetly but it came out more like a demanded dripping with hatred for my father. Tristan walked out of the room pausing at the entrance and looking at my father before leaving for good. "What are you really doing here?"
"I'm telling you the truth." He said
"Mhm." I nodded
"Madison." He sighed he tried to take a step closer but I backed away
"Stay away from me." I warned he looked at me "I mean it, I have changed over the 8 years you've been gone."
"I know you have fury has been keeping me updated." He smiled
"He has..." I awed he nodded I looked at him a little closer there was something off about him he wasn't my "father" "TRISTAN!" I screamed he came running and blasted him to pieces and he shimmered into something that looked like a dwarf I screamed at the lifeless little body laying in between me and Tristan. I looked up at Tristan and he looked furious he flashed in front of me and checked to see if I had any bruises "Trist I'm fine." I said he shook his head and kept looking and then he turned back to the dwarf and burnt him into ash's. He took my hand and dragged me up to the bedroom not once speaking he started to pack a bag and I just stood there watching trying to figure out why there was a dwarf in our kitchen.
"Tristan?" I asked he looked at me and then turned back around "Tristan."
"What Madison?" he hissed I turned him around with my magic and brought him in front of me so I could look at him
"Whats the matter?" I asked
"Nothing." He shrugged
"Something is wrong if your like this, it was just a dwarf im fine see." I said twirling around
"That wasn't a dwarf that was a dark elf." He sighed "They follow either Malekith or Thanos since Malekith is dead the only other person is Thanos."
"Well it was just one." I shrugged
"Damn it Madison you don't get it do you? One means there's a war coming and so before I lose you and the baby I'm taking you to earth." He said
"Right cause that's safer?" I asked raising an eyebrow
"If you haven't noticed they attack earth last." Tristan countered
"You're not going to lose me or the baby." I promised
"I'm not taking any chances." Tristan said I looked at him
"What about the wedding?" I asked
"We'll have it on earth like you want." He smiled
"When?" I asked
"How about... May when the flowers are bloomed and summer is right there?" He said
"Ok." I nodded he cupped my face and I leaned in to his touch he was smiling and his other hand went to my belly, I put my hand over his and made circles.
"I love you Madi." He whispered
"I love you too." I smiled he leaned in and gave me a kiss on the forehead and then on the belly
"And I love you munchkin." He smiled I smiled at him and brought him up for one more kiss.
Steve's Pov
I was sitting on the couch drinking my tenth beer for today, I was avoiding Lux and Fury was furious that I was skipping out on my assignment. I really didn't care; I was trying to figure out why the hell did I almost kiss Lux? I didn't love her anymore and now she probably thinks I do. How could I love her she wanted to kill me, but all I could think about lately, was how it felt to hold her in my arms and kiss her and see her look up into my eyes with her intense green eyes. I felt myself start to daydream about the day she said she had to go.
"Steve you need to let me go." She begged I had her arms length away holding her to make sure she didn't leave
"I'm not letting you go lux, its too dangerous we can do this together...we,... we will figure this out." I promised
"No we won't I'm making the same mistakes as my father...please Steve." She said I looked at her; she was crying and I let her go and backed away she came up to me and cupped my face in her hand, I leaned my head on hers and kissed her forehead; she leaned into the touch and I wrapped my arms around her hugging her for dear life.
"Promise me you'll come back." I murmured in her hair
"I can't you know that." She sighed she looked up at me and claimed my lips and kissed me with vigor, I backed up and looked at her making sure I would keep a mental picture of how beautiful she was that day.
"I will always love you." I promised she smiled and nodded
"You will always have my heart Steve." She confessed and I watched as she flashed away to only God knows where.
The promise I made to her for almost an entire year kept ringing in my head "I will always love you." I threw a beer bottle at the wall and I just couldn't stop myself I flipped my couch over, I threw all the papers I had around and I crashed on the floor hanging my head in between my legs.
"Steve?" I heard Clint ask I didn't answer I heard him come into the living room and I looked up and saw him and Tony looking at me.
"What the hell happened here?" Clint asked Tony sat beside me and smirked
"Cap finally lost control." Tony said
"Shut up stark." I hissed
"Steve get up." Clint ordered I got up and looked at him "Go clean up get new clothes on while me and tony clean this mess up.
"What no fair!" Tony pouted
"Tony." Clint warned I nodded and walked into my room got cloths and got in the shower, clean my teeth and came out to a clean living room. I sat down on the couch in front of Clint and Tony.
"So whats got you all wound up?" Tony asked
"Lux." I sighed
"No shit." Tony said
"Tony." Clint sighed
"I almost kissed her two weeks ago." I sighed
"Well its about time." Tony and Clint laughed
"I don't love her!" I shouted
'Steve that's bull and you know it." Clint reprimanded
"Look its not easy being with any woman, just look at me and pepper; I messed up a lot of times, until one day I almost lost her and I realized I to get off my sorry ass and do something so I got my act together." Tony shrugged me and Clint looked at him "Ok I cleaned up a little." Tony sighed
"More like made more toys." Clint mumbled
"Look that's all I know apparently pepper is fine with it cause she hasn't left me." Tony countered
"Touche." Clint nodded "Same with me and Nat, when we first met I was supposed to kill her; then I changed my mind and it took a while for her to trust me and it took a very long time for her to break down her walls when she's around me. I had to work, and if you want Lux you're going to have to get up off your ass and do something." Clint said Tony was smirking
"Fine." I sighed
"Steve ask yourself this questioned... Is she your redemption?" Tony asked me and clint looked at him and he shrugged "That's loki's not mine." I thought about it and she was my redemption she saved me she brought out the steve that had died in the ice all those years ago.
"Yes." I smiled
"Then go and get your girl, but I promise you break my god daughters heart a second time i'm going to have to whoop your sorry ass...without my suit." Tony smiled
"OK." I laughed
Jane's Pov
"Thor calm down." I sighed
"Where is she? it's been 3 hours!" He paced
"Dad seriously?" Ella asked
"She's with that Ares boy." He cringed
"No I wasn't." Belinda laughed
"Belinda where have you been?" Thor asked as he rushed over to her
"Dad calm down, and I was in Arno's chambers trying to figure out where he could have gone." Belinda said
"Bel." Ella sighed
"We can find him." She pushed I walked over to her
"Did you find anything?" I asked
"No." She shook her head
"Don't worry we will find him." I reassured I watched as her and Ella walked out of the room talking about something.
"Why didn't you tell her?" Colby asked
"I just couldn't...has Loki even told darcy yet?" I asked thor
"No, I think he's trying to cope with it so he can comfort darcy." Thor replied I took a deep breath in and looked at thor
"How are we going to tell this to Belinda?" I asked him
"I don't know...but we'll figure it out." He answered
Arno's Pov
I had fallen asleep to dreams of my home's where it was gold buildings everywhere or there were cars honking, or where the silver moon settled behind the black and grey mountains, the only place I had ever known, I won't give up I will find a way out I kept telling myself. Grandmother, Grandfather I know I have never met you before but if you can see me or hear me please I'm crying out i'm falling and I can't take it anymore, as I burn and break I am barely breathing hope is slipping out of my hands I'm living in one of my nightmares I need you to catch me and hold me till its over. Am I just alive or just ghost watching my suffering over and over again? I can't take it anymore! Please take care of My mother, Belinda, Lux, and Aphrodite, watch over them because I am finally letting go...
Alright that's the end, I hope you all liked it! Please leave a review or leave suggestions.
