Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes
She'd never been healthy. She's never be healthy. That didn't mean she didn't help the people around her.
...
Georgie was practically comatose by the time Thor made it back to Earth. He found the team's spirit down and did not understand what had befallen his team.
He eventually went to Tony as he could not figure it out.
"Friend Tony, what has happened?"
Tony looked up at him. "Something came up while you were gone, big guy. A girl from Hawkeye's past showed up and is on the verge of dying."
"If she has had this much impact on the team in the time I have been gone, I wish to meet her."
"Uh, okay. I have to warn you now that Clint doesn't leave her side anymore and you may have to wait awhile to speak with her. She doesn't wake much."
"Lead the way, Friend Stark."
…
They walked in on Clint sleeping with his head on the bed and her slightly awake.
"Hey, Tony." She croaked softly. "Who's this?"
"Georgie, this is Thor."
"I've heard stories about you." She smiled up at him. "Good to meet you before I leave."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Thor asked confused. But she didn't answer. She was already asleep again.
"Thor, we all know she won't survive."
"Of course she will!" He boomed, insulted upon Georgie's behalf. "That is only a warrior's sleep. It will not kill her."
Clint woke up. "Won't kill her! Just look at what it's already done! She can hardly breathe on her own."
"Because you are delaying the sleep!"
"Thor, are you telling us to turn off the machines?" Tony interrupted. "That will kill her more surely than anything else!"
As the two of them bickered in the background, Clint got distracted by a soft touch to his hand. He knelt down beside her, and asked, "Does he speak the truth?"
He only got a small smile and a nod before she fell asleep again.
He interrupted the quibbling. "Tony, she says to listen to him."
Tony whipped around and opened his mouth to retort but stopped at his friend's slumped posture.
"JARVIS call the rest of the team down."
"Right away, Sir." Even JARVIS sounded down. Thor hung his head.
…
Everyone waited with baited breath as they stood around Georgie's bed, waiting for her to die. They all knew it was inevitable, no matter what Thor said.
Then it happened, Guinevere to not draw in breath again. Surrounded by her friends and her brother, she ended this phase of her life. The team walked out of the room to mourn, leaving Clint to say goodbye.
"Gwen, I'm sorry. I failed. I'm glad I got to see you again. I missed you, kid."
As he finished, a bright light filled the room and her body vanished, straight from Clint's grasp.
He walked away and joined the team.
"Her body is gone guys."
They all looked to Thor, who seemed relieved. "She has been taken to her destiny. We can only hope she will soon return to us, Friends."
Cap looked up at the god. "Her?"
"Her."
Clint walks up. "Is there hope?"
"Always, my friend."

A/N: Well, that was depressing. The funny thing, I'm listening to the Avengers soundtrack right now and as i was writing the depressing bit, the song, "They Called It" started playing. Freakin' weird.
Only one chapter to go guys!
