On With the Story!
Darcy's Pov
"Darcy I'm so sorry." Loki cried
"I don't believe you!" I cried, Loki tried to come closer but I put my hand up telling him to stay away, I wrapped my arms around myself protectively. I sat down wondering Why my baby boy? Why him? He was gone and I didn't even get to say goodbye. What had he done to deserve such cruelty? Did he know I loved him? Oh god I didn't even get to say I loved him before he died. He died all alone and no one there for him at all. Whoever took my son away from me I wanted them to rot in hell and I would make sure it happened
"My love?" Loki croaked I looked up at him his eyes rimmed from crying, his face was saying sorry and pleading that I forgive him. I walked over to him and he wrapped me in a hug holding me for dear life crying and shaking terribly. I had never seen this side of loki before. This was the Loki that was vulnerable, that was broken and would never be able to be fixed, this was the side of him he kept locked up deep, deep, inside. "I'm sorry so sorry." He pleaded
"I failed you, you lost our son and it was my fault...I promised to protect him but I didn't and now you have lost a son because I couldn't do what I promised." He said I looked at him
"Loki its not your fault." I pushed
"It is my fault and I am sorry for that; I knew that when I fell in love with you and you in love with me that pain would come our way but darcy I never thought that you would lose a child because you were with me." He cried
"Swear on the nine realms you will make them rot in hell." I pushed he looked at me quite shocked "Swear."
"Darcy." He paused
"Loki swear." I said
"I swear." He sighed. I put my head in the crook of his neck and I started to cry more and he the same. I closed my eyes and imagined Arno as a baby and slowly start to grow up and it just stopped at his 14th birthday and I broke down again. I let go of Loki and ran to his room and I sat down on Arno's bed holding his clothes and pillows close to me. They still smelled like him and I breathed in his scent afraid I would forget it one day, I was afraid that one day I would forget what he looked like, how he laughed, how he called me mom, how he said I love you. I opened my eyes to see Tristan standing at the door crying and looking at the picture of him and Arno.
"Sweetie." I said he walked over to me and cried on my shoulder shaking his head murmuring something
"This is all her fault." He spat I looked up at him
"No its not." I said
"How can you say that?" He hissed
"You are all my children, and Lux loved Arno as much as you did." I said he nodded and looked away trying to get his composer together "Go talk to her." He nodded and got up and walked out of the room. I laid down on Arno's bed remembering all the times loki had picked him up and put him in this bed how many times I had saved him from the monster under his bed or how many night time stories I had told him, when loki taught him his first magic trick, where he had his first steps, words, when him and belinda would play hours, how many times I had held him and realizing that it would never happen again. That I would never see him smile at me again...
Jane's Pov
We had sat Belinda down in our chambers, Colby and Ella were with us and we all were talking and I looked at Thor and he nodded. I took a deep breath and got myself prepared for the storm.
"Belinda we have something to tell you." I said every stopped talking and Ella looked already on the verge of crying, I looked at Thor begging him to tell her and not me. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He sat down beside Belinda and took her hand in his.
"What's going on?" She asked I could hear the fear in her voice I heard Darcy running out of her room and down the hall, I felt the waterfall break lose. "Mom?"
"Bel... something happened." Colby said
"Its about Arno." Ella said through her tears
"What are you talking about?" Belinda asked her voice had gone shaky and her breathing was abnormal and she looked from me to thor "Daddy?"
"He...He's...dead." He said her breathing hitched and she looked all around trying to keep the tears in she bit her bottom lip trying to stop it from quivering
"Please tell me his lying." she said looking at me I sat down beside her and shook my head
"I'm sorry baby." I cried she broke down and cried cradling her knees close to her chest Thor tried to rub her back but she brushed him off, and looked at him.
"You're lying." She sneered
"Bel.." Ella sighed She shook her head and got up starting to pace the floor crying and having sparks fly off her. She sat down beside the window rocking back and forth. I looked at Colby and Ella mouthing "you can go now" I walked over to Belinda.
"Belinda sweetie." I whispered she whipped around so fast I barely saw her, she latched herself to me like she did when she was younger crying into my stomach I situated us so that she was slightly laying down and I was seated. I brushed her hair and cooed her while she cried. I looked at Thor my vision blurry from tears and I saw that he had his head in his hands crying also.
"He pro-promised...he come ba-back, he said that he would never leave me alone." She cried "Mom what am I going to tell aphrodite and cupid? What am I going to tell myself, I can't live without him he's my best-friend. Who's going to stop me from killing someone when I get mad? Who's gonna spar with me and make it snow...Wh-who's going to do that? tell me?" She begged
"I don't know sweetie, we'll figure it out together." I breathed I didn't know what I was suppose to do, we all had lost Arno and I didn't know how to cope with it. How was I suppose to tell Belinda it was ok? I started to cry even harder when I remember Belinda and Arno started to talk for the first time and belinda said "I love you mommy and Aunty darce." and Arno said "I love you mommy and Aunty Jane." how their cute little smiles could light up an entire room, when they would play in the halls filling them with laughter or when Arno came and gave me the biggest hugs he could possibly give. How him and Belinda would laugh around their friends how he was one that protected my baby girl when they weren't with us and now he was gone and I couldn't get him back for her. Then I thought of Darcy that was her baby boy her twin he looked exactly like her reminded me of her in almost everything he did. And now someone had taken that away from her.
Another Mystery Persons Pov
"THANOS!" I screeched
"Oh look the dead has risen." He smiled I smacked his face with such force I was sure his neck was broken "What the hell?"
"Where is he?" I asked
"Dead." He smirked I felt fury rise in me again "I told you not to kill him...now I'm going to have to put him in a coma when he comes back." I sighed
"Who says he's coming back?" Thanos asked
"He is a spawn of Odin and me...his coming back." I sneered
"A little sentimental are we?" He laughed
"Brother I'd advise you do not make master cross, this was his grandson you killed." Starfox warned
"I have always liked you better spawn of Riana." I smiled "Now give me the prophecy so I can reverse what you have done...unless your mother is already fixing your mess." I said Thanos gave me the prophecy and I made sure it had not yet changed "Thank Hemdial!" I shouted
"What?" Thanos asked
"Your mother is already fixing the problem." I smiled while looking at my grandson's lifeless body "The dark prince will never cross roads with me again when he hears what I have done to his child." I smiled
"Master when shall we get rid of the problems?" Starfox asked
"Oh we won't they will do that themselves, thinking they could save their children." I laughed
"I see." Starfox smiled
"Master, do you want me to continue with Ella's love life?" Thanos smirked
"NO! Leave her be, we will need her in the end." I said
"How about Colby?" Thanos asked
"Lady Sif, is already in love with the boy, leave them be." I answered he nodded and walked over to Arno's body "Leave him in peace...have you not done enough?" I asked
"Just leave him lying here?" Starfox asked
"Yes." I nodded
Lux's Pov
"If I could I would die so he could come back!" I shouted at Tristan
"You could never do that...his soul is worth a hundred more times than yours ever could." He sneered I felt like someone had took my heart out and crushed it right in my face. I sat down trying to catch my breath and I looked up at him.
"You're right, i'm as black as black can get." I snapped "If you feel that way, I'll stay away from you." I said
"Lux that's not what I meant." He sighed "I know you loved Arno, its just..."
"That I'm the easiest person to blame it on." I sighed
"Yes...No I mean yeah it kinda is." he said
"I get it, I put that on myself." I said he looked at me with pity and left the room. I sat down and sighed.
"You ok Lux?" Steve asked
"I'm fine Steve." I said I hadn't talked to h since we almost kissed, and I understood totally it was a mistake on both sides.
"I wanted to say that I'm sorry that you guys lost Arno." Steve said
"Look if were gonna keep going in circles and you don't know how to say your feeling...please dont bring my brother in it so you can talk to me." I begged
"What are you saying?" Steve asked
"Steve if you know what you want, you don't have to feel like I'm in the way." I said
"So go after what I want?" He asked
"Yes." I nodded He took a step closer to me and brought me closer and leaned in I was frozen from shock and I didn't know what to do he leaned in all the way and claimed my lips, I felt like I did the first time we kissed I was melting. It was a short kiss but still good. "I want you." He smiled
Tony's Pov
Pepper had locked herself in our room and wasn't coming out. She was mad at me for reasons unknown. I still hadn't told her about Arno and I didn't know if I should. She may kill me if I do or dont, pregnant woman were so confusing.
"Pepper come on babe let me in, I need to tell you something." I pushed I heard the door unlock and I opened it, she laying on the bed with a trash can beside her, her hair was a mess sprawled all over her face.
"Make it quick Tony." She warned
"Yeah, ok... Arno is um...dead." I said Pepper looked at me with shock
"What?" She asked
"Arno died." I said I opened my arms so that she could come into them, but instead she was looking at me like I had antlers on my head.
"Is Darcy ok... Oh my god, is loki ok?" Pepper asked
"Yeah I think their fine." I said
"Why don't you look shocked?" She asked I bit the inside of my mouth
"Me, Loki, Thor, Jane, and the kids except for Belinda have known for a week now." I mumbled I looked at pepper and she was crying now "Pep." I said
"You've known for a week a didn't tell me? Tony that's my god son too you know!" She screamed
"Pepper I know I just didn't know how to tell you, hell I didn't know how to cope with it myself, he was only 14, just a few days ago he was telling us we were going to have a baby girl and the next his dead." I said I tried hard to keep my tears in and stay strong for pepper but it was starting to break.
"Tony.." Pepper cried I held her in my arms trying to sooth her but I was crying too, and were just a mess both trying to help the other but broke down crying when the other looked at us, but I think Arno would have enjoyed this both of us just being the vulnerable hot messes we were.
"We will always love you jack frost." I thought to myself.
Arno's pov
I was sitting beside my grandparents, it felt weird to die but I felt good. I looked at my grandmother and she was crying, and my grandfather was trying not to frown but I could tell there was something they weren't telling me.
"What's the matter?" I questioned
"You have to go back." My grandfather said
"What! Why?" I said standing up and looking at them "Please let me stay, I don't want to go back."
"You don't belong here...well not yet." A woman said
"Who are you?" I questioned I looked at the woman and she looked exactly like my grandmother
"I am Riana, queen eternal, your grandmothers twin sister, mother of three children two of which have made many mistakes." She sighed
"Please sister let him stay." My grandmother begged
"Frigga you know it is not right to keep him here." My grandfather warned
"Why not, I did what the prophecy said I would do." I complained honestly I didn't want to leave, heaven was perfect better than what I could ever imagined, I didn't want to go back to feeling pain or suffering I had become strong again I could finally sleep through the night.
"Oh boy how you have so much more to do... The prophecy you were told about was a fraud, I can take you back, I have done it plenty of times." Riana explained she told me the whole prophecy by heart and I tried to memorize it. She told me how when she and my grandmother were born a prophecy was told and they tried to keep it hidden till it started to become true but by the time they realized it was too late.
"What is uncle Tony's daughter have to do with anything, I was hoping she would be safe... I know I have had dreams about aunt pep and uncle tony's child before but I just though it was because I wanted a younger sibling." I shrugged
"She will be very clever just like her mother and father, but just like her father each generation from his family just gets smarter and smarter with no limit, she will be dangerously smart...she will discover something no one knows what but there have been myths about this...this mortal, a descendent of an iron suit that will change the meaning of being a mortal." My grandfather said
"It will be quick and easy...I have done it before with my beloved Phil." Riana said
"Madison's dad?" I asked "Wait can one of you come with me? I don't want to go by myself." I pleaded
"I cannot go, my love I wish I could but I have made enough damage, but your grandfather could if he is willing." My grandmother said
"Frigga I could never leave you, be separated for years...I would not be able to survive." My grandfather said
"Odin, look at our family they need guidance especially the children for what is to come." She said
"Wait what is to come?" I asked My grandparents looked at each other and looked at me with pity"Tell me."
"You and Belinda will have to be the anchor for everyone after the war to come, do you understand?" My grandmother said
"Another war what? I don't understand?" I said
"Yes another war...just be prepared and keep Ariadne safe." Odin said
"Ariadne who is she?" I asked
"I think you know Arno." Frigga smiled Riana nodded and with that my grandmother kissed my forehead and I felt myself drift back to my world. Where chaos and mischief ruled, where it was full of mistakes and pain and imperfection but somehow it was worth it.
"I love you." I heard my grandmother say and my grandfather smile at me and with that they were gone forever until I died...again.
Belinda's Pov
I was in my room sitting in front of my window it looked over top of the sparring arena it was me and Arnos' favorite view we could watch everyone spar and judge how good or bad they were. I had gone in his room and got his favorite jacket so I could wear it and I also wore the charm he got me for my birthday. I had cried for the entire day, and I didn't talk to anyone except my mother.
"Why did you leave me?" I asked I knew no one would answer but I was hoping Arno would and that this was all just a really bad nightmare. I got up and went to the Bifrost.
"Hemdial to the empire state building." I requested the bifrost turned and turned till I was right in front of the empire state building. I rode the elevator to the 600th floor Aphrodite and cupid were right in front of the door I looked Aphrodite and half smiled.
"Hey." I smiled Aphrodite looked at me and realized I wasn't coming for good news.
"Cupid why don't you go find Apollo." She said he nodded and ran off. "Where is he?" She asked
"He died Aphrodite..." I said I was trying to keep my composer but I lost it. I took Aphrodite and a hug and we cried together.
"Mommy?" Cupid asked I looked over at him and snatched him up into a hug. "Did you find daddy?" He asked me, I cried and gave him another hug.
"Im sorry cupid." I whispered in his ear I gave him back to Aphrodite and walked out of Olympus.
"Belinda!" Ares shouted I looked behind me "Wait."
"What Ares?" I snapped he took me into a hug and pulled away.
"Im sorry about Arno he was a great guy." Ares nodded
"Um...thanks." I said
"When will you be back?" He asked
"Im not sure Ares, its a little too hard to come here, I just came for Aphrodite and cupid." I said I walked out of Olympus and ran towards the stark tower.
Third Person Pov
2 days later
All the Avengers, and Arno's family had came for his funeral they didn't want to wait any longer so that, pepper and jane could have their children in peace and their first outing wouldn't be a funeral.
"Arno was an amazing young man, brave, fierce, loving, strong, courageous, compassionate, he was a great son, and friend, he was an amazing brother." Fury said "He followed orders...most of the time,he and Belinda were the pranksters in school and out of school."
Everyone came up and put a flower in front of Arno H. Lokison grave. Belinda and Darcy both stayed back looking at his grave both hoping, praying that something miracles would happen, that he would just appear somewhere. "How are you sweetie?" Darcy asked
"I have had better days." Belinda half laughed Darcy wrapped her arms around the young girl and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"We'll get through this together." Darcy said Belinda nodded and helped Darcy up. They started to walk away towards the tower, when they heard a loud of screech they looked up in the sky and saw something falling from the sky, it crashed right in front of them and they bother screamed and backed away.
"What the Hades was that?" Belinda asked she walked closer. "Oh My God!" She screamed "Aunt darce." She said
Darcy walked over and started to bawl once again. "How is this possible, is this some kind of sick joke!" She screamed to the sky. "Im going to go get Uncle Loki, and dad, or do you want to go get them?" Belinda asked
"Huh...yeah you go." Darcy hyperventilated
