A little version of the sun in the air
Melissa took of the white tank top that has dried blood on it and picked up the ACDC t shirt that Tony had picked out for her to wear. She took of her black skinny jeans and swapped them for the blue skinny jeans and put her Doc Martins back on she brushed her hair into a high ponytail. She styled her fringe to cover the cut on her forehead. She put the jacket on Faith got for her and Pepper walked in. "Are you ok Tony told me what happened?" pepper asked Melissa, she turned around and smiled. "I'll be ok pepper. Pepper I need to tell you something." Melissa said to her looking down at the ground, "What is it?" pepper asked Melissa softly, she looked up at her and said, "Tony kissed me, but I'm a bit sure what to do?" Melissa said to pepper when sitting down on the chair. Pepper walked over to Melissa, "He loves you Melissa. He always has, ever since you've joined the Avengers." pepper told Melissa, "He's not just using me?" Melissa asked her, pepper shook her head. "No Melissa he truly loves you. I think you two should talk this over before you two even think about getting serious." pepper said to kindly. "Thanks pepper I will talk to him but later I just need to clear my head first." Melissa told pepper, pepper smiled and tilted her head the said, "come on Buffy has returned with news." Melissa got up off the chair and went to see Buffy.
"Buffy what's going on?" I asked as she entered the room, Buffy turned around and the Avengers just stood there and looked at me. "Angel he's lost his soul. He has joined with Amora, The Masters of Evil and Glory." Buffy told me with her arms crossed over her chest. I nodded at her, "Who's this?" I asked Buffy, she looked down at the ground. "This is the key. Her name is Layla." I looked at her, I recognised her from somewhere but I could think where. "The mocks made her out of you. She is you." Buffy told me, "Ok so she is me and Angel has lost his soul again." Buffy nodded and said, "Amora she enchanted him…" "Which made him lose his soul?" I said to her. Buffy nodded, "I am done with this shit. I'm taking the fight to Amora and Glory. Willow can try and re-in-soul Angel." I said to everyone walking over to the troll god's hammer and picking it up. Willow nodded, "You got it."
"What? You almost died last night you're not going alone." Stark spoke up, I looked at him and told him and everyone, "That's why I need you; all of you to stay here this is something I need to do alone." I said while looking at Tony. "We could help a distraction." Steve asked me. "No Steve I can't risk everyone with a distraction. Amora is smarter than that." I said to him. I walked out of the room and Tony followed me out. "Melissa, wait." He asked me. I stopped not looking at him; he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I turned around I looked up at him, "I'm sorry Tony but I have to go. It's my job, the mission is what matters." I told him, I tried to turn away and leave but his grip got tighter. "Tony, please I don't wanna hurt you." I said looking up at him, "I not letting you go alone. Buffy told us about Angel when he is soulless." Tony told me, I could feel his grip getting tighter almost like a vice around my waist. "Tony, please…" he kissed me slowly I ended up melting into his arms. His grip loosened, "…I have to go, but I…I'll see you soon." I told him and slipped out of his arms and left. He stood there and watched as I left Stark Towers. Clint walked up behind tony, "Please tell me you put a tracker on her?" Clint asked Stark, he nodded. "Ya I'm not stupid." Tony said to Clint while walking off to his lab. Meanwhile I slowly made my way through the graveyard and ran into Angel. "Angelus." I said to him with a grin on my face, "Hello, Melissa. I wasn't sure you'd come." "Come on, I had to show. Shouldn't you be helping Glory and Amora out destroying the world right now?" I asked him, he looked at me smirking, "There's time enough. I wanted to say goodbye first. You are the one thing in this dimension I will miss." I just looked at him, "This is a beautiful moment we're having. Can we please fight?" I asked him angrily, Angelus then said to me softly, "I didn't come here to fight." I raise my eyebrows and said to him, "No?" Angelus continued on saying to me, "Gosh, I was hoping you could help me get my soul back. What do you think?" I shot him a look, "Alright. We'll fight." He said as he rushed me.
Back a Stark Towers, "Willow you ready?" Buffy asked her, she nodded and began to fight up the magic's trying to re-in-soul Angelus, Wesley said in Latin, "Quod perditum est, invenietur." Willow spoke the translation, "What is lost, return." Dawn swirls incense into the air while Xander, Buffy and The Avengers watches. Willow continued on to say, "Not dead nor not of the living. Spirits of the interregnum I call..."I ducked a punch from Angelus and came up behind him. He spins around to block my return swing. He blocks another jab from me, and punches me in the face. He follows up with a left hook, and I lost my balance and nearly fell down. Angelus grabs me by the back of my leather jacket and throws me over onto the grounds. I rolled away and onto my back, and looks up at him. "Come on, Willow." I said to myself hoping Willow could get it done. I swiftly get back to my feet to continue fighting. Buffy was guarding the new Key Layla and the main doors. Willow was continuing on with the spell, "Let him know the pain of humanity, gods. Reach your wizened hands to me. Give me the sword..." Suddenly a Hydra Agent comes out from the balcony and attacks Xander from behind. The main doors fly open, and Buffy spins around to defend as two Hydra goons walk in. Wesley points to the lift and yells at the civilian's as a four more Hydra goons appear from the main door. Wesley shouted "Get out! Go!" to Willow, Dawn, Darcy, Jane and Layla. Buffy punches the first two Hydra agents before they reached her. The fourth one jumps over the bar and lands on Wesley's' back, knocking him into the table. Dawn, Darcy, Jane and Willow ran towards the lift and see Xander elbow the Hydra agent on his back, knocking the agent onto floor.
Having punched down the one agent, Buffy grabs the other and shoves her into the wall. The first one gets up and rushes in to fight. The Hydra agent, Buffy is fighting ducks her swing. Clint's opponent grabs his arm, loops his own around it tightly and pulls down, breaking it. Clint yells out in pain. Buffy ducks a roundhouse kick from her enemy and blocks several swings. Clint grabs his tormenter's hair and smashes his head down on the railing. Below Steve ducks a swing and punches the Hydra in the gut. Dawn lands two punches in the face of her attacker. Wesley pounds his assailant on the back, but he just roars and spins around with a punch to Wesley' face, knocking him out. Bruce picks the dazed Hydra agent up and shoves him into the other one going at Dawn, knocking him down. Bruce shouts at Dawn, "Go!" Xander watches Buffy's opponent punch her in the face, Clint winces again in pain. She sees the one going for Wesley, and rushes over to pull him off. Just then another one tackles her from the side.
While back at the cemetery, I punched Angelus, but he takes it in stride. I swung again, but he grabs my arm and holds on tight. I swing with the other one, but he grabs it, too, and then pushes me away. Angelus said to me, "Jeez, is it me, or is your heart not in this?" I pulled out the stake. Angelus said to me, "Maybe I'll just go home, destroy the world." I said to him, "Well, I think Mr. Pointy will have something to say about that." I continued on to say, "Come on. Let's finish this. You and me." Angelus just chuckled, "Y-you never learn, do you? This wasn't about you. This was never about you." He continued to chuckle, I realizes the trap was set for the others, and begins to run. He said to me while smiling, "And you fall for it every single time!" Back at the tower, a Hydra agent punches Buffy, and she stumbles, but regains her footing. Up in by the bar another one comes at Xander and punches him in the face, knocking him out. Below Buffy is hit by a roundhouse kick, and falls.
The main doors swing open, and Amora walks in. The agent tries to kick Buffy, but she blocks it and swings out with her leg, tripping him, and gets back to her feet to face the other two, the one that came down from above, the other one now back out of Tony's bar. The third one is up again also, and they close in on her, but before any more fighting can ensue Amora claps her hands. Amora shouted "Enough!" She bids Buffy come hither with her waving fingers. The other three just back off. Buffy faces Amora, ready to fight. Amora walks around her and goads her on. Buffy kicks at her, but Amora blocks her easily, as well as two follow-up swings. She punches Buffy and sends her spinning to the floor. I run like mad to get to the Stark Towers. Amora ducks a kick from Buffy and grabs her by the arms. She swings her around and shoves her away. Buffy comes back at her again with a kick to the gut and Amora doubles over for an instant. Buffy lunges at her, but Amora grabs her by the throat and forces her back against the counter, gripping hard and choking her. "Look at me, Dearie." Amora told Buffy, She waves two extended fingers before Buffy's eyes and begins to hypnotize her. Amora told Buffy, "Be... in my eyes. Be... in me." She lets go, and Buffy is completely under her spell.
She sways back and forth a bit, and buffy follows her every move to stay in contact with her eyes. Amora backs away slightly, lowering her arms and never losing eye contact. I raced through, leaping a bench as she runs. Buffy continues to sway with Amora. Amora extends out the fingers of her right hand at her side. She smiles evilly as she swings her hand up and slices Buffy's neck with her sharp nails. Buffy grabs at her neck as it begins to bleed heavily, and collapses to the floor. Amora watches her fall, and turns to look down at her. Amora smiled and said, "Night-night." She kisses the air above her and turns to her accomplices. Amora told the Hydra agents, "Let's get what we came for, dears." Two of them grab an unconscious Wesley and Layla by the arms and drag him and Layla from the room. Amora and the agents follow them out of Stark Towers.
I runs across the though grounds. I ran up the stairs toward the penthouse. I ran the throws open the door and rushes in. I ran down the hall, 'Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments.' I barges into the room and stops. 'No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.' She looks around at the damage, and then sees Buffy lying on the floor. She runs to her, still in slow motion, and skids down next to her on her knees. She sees that she's gone, and I took her hand. 'So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. You'll see what I mean' I reached up to Buffy's face with my other hand and stroked it gently. Dawn turned around and saw Buffy died, Bruce walked up to Dawn. She buried her head into his chest and he held her as the emotion poured out of her. Willow got up off the floor, "Amora got Layla and Wesley." She said to her, Thor and Loki walked in saw what happened, Loki saw Buffy with her throat slashed. Thor walked up to me and pulled me away. I was in shock I looked at Dawn I could see Willow saying something but I could hear her. Loki and the other where shouting my at me or asking if I'm ok but I could hear anything.
