I am so evil. I had this chapter finished the day after I posted the last chapter but I wanted to torcher you all just a little bit more. But I am taking pitty on you and posting 3 days before I planed to post it. So we shall finally see what happens to Alisha in this chapter. I enjoyed reading all your reviews and pm's even if some of them where of you yelling at me, there is a reason I killed Alisha. So without further ado it's CHAPTER 32! Hay that rimes!

Oh, and just for the record, I am going to be doing Tyler's story next after I finish this. And who knows I may stop this story at a point and come back to it.

I do not own the Avengers team, and all that Jaz.

Floating, that's what it felt like. Floating under the water as she moved up. Or was it more like flying, or levitating. She couldn't tell, all she knew was that she was moving on and up. What she could tell was that everything felt lighter, better, more relaxed. She was, in a sense, at peace.

"So you are just going to let go without a fight. Seems a bit anticlimactic for you." Someone said.

She opened her eyes; somehow she had stopped in mid transport. She looked down at her hands only to see them transparent. "Well yes, you can't fight death."

"Yes, but only if you are meant to die and are not given a second chance to live." The voice said. "Just look at your family and what they have to say about this turn of events."

She looked below her, seeing her lifeless form in her Father's arms; his body shaking with grief. She could hear her Mother off in the distance, miles away from where her body was, crying in the arms of Susan. Then she really looked and listened.

"Alisha, my little girl. Why couldn't you have just listened to use and left? This is all my fault. I should never have made this suit for you. I am so sorry Ali." Tony blubbered. She could see him, hear him. She felt her heart clench with sorrow.

"Why?! Why did it have to be my little baby. Why did you have to take all my children away from me!" Pepper's thoughts came flooding to her.

She also heard the thoughts of all the rest of the group. Most of it was so joined in with everyone else that she couldn't make heads or tails of it until.

"No she can't die. She can't leave us! She can't leave like this!"

"Tyler? Why can I hear Tyler?" She asked before going quiet to hear the rest of his thoughts.

"I don't know what I will do without her. I was just getting to know her as Alisha and then…why?" He asked before she saw him fall onto his hands and knees and break down.

"Seems like they want you to fight" The voice said.

Alisha looked up and around her, until she saw Odin floating on her left, gazing down at the Avengers. "Excuse me for saying this All Father, but if you are here then doesn't that mean that you are going to…" She didn't finish.

"No, I am not the Ferrier. I am there at the entrance to greet and bring them into my hall. I am here for you because I knew that this would happen and I wanted to give you a choice." Odin said, still staring down. Thor had gone over to the unconscious Loki and had already sent him to Asguard for punishment.

"What do you mean, sir? I am dead, how can I go back?"

"By asking to. Remember that little charm I gave you."

"Yes, the knot made of silver. You said that it would give me some divine help when I needed it most. You also said that you wanted to help me."

"Well I am a God, and it looks like you may need a bit of divine help, but only if you want it. That charm is only there to give you a chance if you choose it. Just say the word and you can move on" Odin said, now facing her with a stern neutral look.

Alisha looked at him, then back down at her Father and friends. She could feel their misery, their hurt, their heart ache. "I didn't know I meant so much to them."

"They didn't ether, except your Mother and Father. Unfortunately with any living creature, they never know how précis something is to them, until it's gone." Odin said.

"Spoken like someone who knows from experience." She smiled sadly.

Odin said nothing, just waited.

She looked down at them again. All their sadness was making it hard for her to let them go. She took a deep breath and faced Odin, looking him in his eye.

"I will go back. Not just for them but for me. I could not be at peace with good conscience knowing that I did this to them and had a chance to make it all better. I want to be with my family" Alisha said.

"Are you sure? If you do go back you could still die in a very painful way." Odin asked, staring down at her.

She hesitated for a moment then nodded her head. "I am sure."

The All Father beamed down at her. "I know I liked you for some reason. It is true that you could still die."

"I understand."

"You will also be in a coma."

"I understand."

"This charm is only giving you a chance to live again. You can still die. It's all up to you."

"I understand and am willing to take the risks. Even if I do end up dying, at least I tried. My family will understand when I tell them that I did my best" Alisha said with a smile.

"You have made a wise choice. If Halder had fallen in love with you I would have been very proud to have you as his queen."

Alisha blushed but smiled. "Thank you."

"Now you must breath" Odin said, placing his hand over Alisha's eyes, blinding her.

She gasped, and not just her spirit, but she felt her body gasp as well. As she did she felt her spirit being slammed back into her body. All the pain, and soreness, and hurt from before flooding back to her. Her eyes shot opened and then she groaned.

"Alisha you are alive!" Tony yelled, gently placing his hand on her cheek. She could hear the sound of a hovercraft in the distance.

She looked at her father, there were tears still falling down his face, he was smiling down at her. He looked so venerable like he had had his entire world taken out from under his feet. She tried to speak, to tell her Father that she loved him, but she was too weak.

"Don't talk, save your strength. You have lost a lot of blood and Colson is coming with a hovercraft to take you to the best hospital. You are going to be ok do you understand?" Tony demanded softly, taking charge.

She smiled weakly before Tyler knelt down beside her. His eyes red and puffy but he was smiling. He looked much like her Father did in the 'had lost something dear to him' look.

"You're alive. We were so worried about you" He said in a huff, holding back tears of joy as he took her hand in his.

She smiled and whispered "I am very tired" and closed her eyes, slipping into a coma just as the carrier landed next to them.

"She is still breathing. That's good enough for me. I will not lose her." Tony said.

Wait, why could she still hear things. She was supposed to be in a coma. Guess that people in comas could still hear everything around them.

"This way, she will be in room 401. She will be under observation for the duration of her stay" A woman said as she felt herself lifted off something and onto something else.

"I hate hospitals. They are way too bright" Clint said from behind.

"Stop complaining at least it's not you on the stretcher this time, but I kind-of wish it was" Natasha commented back.

"Yah, me too" He said a bit more depressed.

Well, almost everything. It seemed like a dream or a bad radio station that skipped a lot of things.

"Avengers we need to debrief you on today's events" Fury said in person. Wait even Fury was there?

"I am not leaving Alisha's side until she wakes up and until I know she is going to be all right" Tony said stubbornly to her right.

"I understand that Stark, but we need to get information while it is still fresh…"

"No, Fury. None of us are leaving. No one will forget what happened today trust me" Steve said after the sound of chair legs scrapping against the floor.

"Do you speak for everyone?" Fury asked.

"Yes he does" Natasha said from far away. Silence was in the room before she heard Nick sigh.

"Keep me posted on her condition. Tera, Tia, you are both in big trouble. All the Young Avengers are when Alisha wakes up." Fury said, and then left.

She could feel her essence, her being fading almost. She kept hold of it, keeping it together in one place as time passed. Days, hours, months, she could not tell in this state. Nor could she feel it ether. The only way she knew time was passing was when she could hear what was happening in the real world.

A moment of silence before she felt something on her chest. "Vitals are the same. It's been a week and she is not getting better" The same woman said.

A week had passed since the last time she heard something. Things where becoming confusing as she heard everyone talk to her at one point, pleading with her. She hadn't heard anything from Tyler and she was getting a bit nerves.

One night she felt someone take her hand, gingerly. The hands felt rough and warm against her cold ones.

"Hey, everyone is asleep. It's about 3am 2 weeks since the attack. I…don't know if you can hear me" Tyler said, his voice cracking a bit as if he hadn't had anything to drink in a while. "But I want to say that I am sorry for not being able to help you. I saw that dragon coming for you but the way Loki was acting around you stirred something in me that I couldn't control. All I wanted was to beat his face in. I…I know why I did all those things to you before. I wanted you to look at me, to pay attention to me. I know now it wasn't the best way but I did it because I…" He stopped as someone stirred next to him.

In her coma, in her mind, she was cursing the person who had stopped him in mid sentence. She wanted to get up and hit Tyler across the head for thinking this was his fault. She also wanted to get up and hug him and tell him to continue. She wanted to do something but all she could do was lay there and breathe.

She hadn't heard anything after that and it worried her. She feels someone holding her hand. She can slowly feel her body again, part by part as if her body is waking up before her. She wiggles her toes, they respond. She slowly opened her eyes just to have them close again. It's too bright. Slowly, she opens them again, letting her eyes adjust and looks around. Everyone is there, sitting around the bed and in the room, sleeping. The sun was shining into the room making rays of light. She looks over at the person holding her hand.

It was Tyler. He was sleeping soundly on a stool. His cheek resting on his arm, his face turned up towards her, her left hand in his. She smiled and squeezes his hand. His eyes shoot open and his head shoots up. He looks at her and smiles sadly.

"Why do you look so sad?" Alisha asked confused.

"Because this is a dream. Every night I dream of you waking up and being all right, but then I wake up and there you are just as still as before. Like you always are." He said sadly, pathetically hopelessly sad.

She smiled at him as she slides up, making a bit of noise with the sheets. Tony snorts right next to her and wakes himself up.

"Mmmmmhhh…that's in the…I am all right" He said, looking around. He saw Pepper sitting next to him, asleep. He smiled and kissed her forehead before looking over at her and freezing. She smiled at him and put a finger to her lips, winking.

He smiled, tears running out of his eyes and down his face. He gently takes her into his arms and kisses her all over her face. "You're alive! I never lost faith" He said in an enthusiastic whisper. He had on his black tank with some old sweats.

Natasha, Clint, Tiana, and Teralin woke up at the sound of Tony sniffling. Natasha smiled, placing her hand over her chest in a very feminine fashion. Clint smiled as well.

""SHE'S AWAKE!" Teralin yelled and jumped up out of her chair and trotted over to her friend. There were many mumbled questions before everyone realized that she was awake.

"HAIL THE VICTORIOUS ALISHA WHO HAS EVEN DEFEATED DEATH ITSELF!" Thor boomed.

"Well, not all by myself. Odin helped" She said with a smile, holding up her charm bracelet and showing him the charm.

Thor looked at it and sighed. "My Father the meddler? I never thought he would meddle in things like this. You must have made a big impression on him Alisha" He said with a smile. "All the same I am glad you are well."

"Ok everyone out. Now that she is awake I must ask her questions and see what, if anything, are the lasting after affects of being in her coma so shoo. Yes even you Mr. Stark." The woman said, pointing her finger right at his nose as he opened his mouth to protest. "My sister, Alisha, may have let you intervene with her work all those years ago, but that was only because they had no idea what to do next. Not me, now out" The woman said forcefully and shut the door. "Now let's get to work."

Another 3 days of observation and she was cleared to go home. Tony had bought her some clothes to travel in since her other ones where ripped and stained with her blood.

Her suit had been sent to Stark Tower to be repaired while she and the rest of the Young Avengers where to be under house arrest in the Malibu mansion. They traveled there together with everyone but Tyler bringing her up to date.

"No one has been punished and once you where ok the Avengers left for the hover carrier to be debriefed by Fury. So I think it's safe to say that we are going to be reined when they get back" Tera said. All the rest of the young group nodded in agreement.

Alisha looked at Tyler and smacked him across the head.

"Ouch jeez what was that for" He said covering his head in case she hit him again.

"For blaming yourself for what happened to me. It would have happened eventually because he had the conviction and the plan all laid out to do it in the end" Alisha said sternly then slumped back down into her chair. She didn't feel well, she felt week and she hated it.

The Doctor gave her strict instructions not to do anything strenuous and to have plenty to eat since she hadn't been able to properly eat when she was in her coma. So basically everyone was going to baby her, she hated it.

Tyler got up to check on her before she glared him back down into his seat.

"I am just worried about you. I don't want anything unnecessary to happen to you because I care about you" He said in a soft voice before focusing on the ceiling again.

They made it to the mansion with JARVIS welcoming them and telling them that the house was in complete lock down until further notice.

Once everything was said and done Alisha escaped downstairs and got changed into a blouse, a knee length pencil skirt, her red bra and matching panties, and her fuzzy slippers. She sat in the workshop, in one of her Father's cars, staring at the news she had put up in front of her. She heard the stomping around of the rest of the group upstairs. They were being detained, put into time out, for doing the right thing. She had saved her Father and they all had saved the Avengers, yet they were being punished for it. Why, because it was all a trap. They were never in any real danger to begin with. It was when the Young Avengers had shown up that everything got more complicated.

Normally it would bother her to no end. Normally she would be doing whatever she could to talk some sense into Director Fury. Normally she wouldn't be sitting and spacing she would be finding a way to get out, but she wasn't and right now she didn't feel like her normal self.

All she could think about was what she had last seen before she had technically died. All the Avengers had been there, looking down on her. But the only faces she saw where Tyler's and her Father's before the void had taken her. When she was in the coma, everyone had spoken to her, but all she remembered were Ty's words of sorrow and his little apology, and her Father and Mother begging her to come back.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting down there until she heard the door open.

"Hey, you have been down here all day. It's time to get something to eat. The Doctor said to keep your strength up. Your wound is still there and your strength still hasn't fully come back yet." Ty said. Alisha's heart jumped at his voice. She could see now that she had always had feelings for him. That was why she tolerated his shenanigans. She smiled, remembering what her Mother had said once about why she loved and put up with her Father. "Because it is a part of him and I would not want to change that, because I love all of him. The good and the bad". In that moment of clarity, everything became clear to her. She loved this man, had loved him since they where kids.

"I'm not really hungry" She said in a small voice, continuing to look but not really see the news on the screen.

"Did I ask if you where hungry? You are going to eat something weather you like it or not, even if I have to shove it down your throat" Tyler said as he stepped in front of Alisha, handing her a plate of pizza and a glass of milk.

She took the food and drink, said thank you and set it down.

Ty didn't move. "Eat it or I will make you" He said firmly.

She took the pizza and began eating, to the utter shock of Tyler.

"I thought you would put up a fight. Are you feeling ok?" he asked, going around to the side of the car and placing a hand over her forehead.

She slightly leaned into the touch; the feel of his skin on hers was enough to relax her. Yup, I am an idiot. Why didn't I see how much he meant to me before this happened? Oh yah, because I have a thick head and a stubborn attitude. Thanks dad she thought as she opened her eyes. She jumped a little, seeing how close Tyler's face was to hers and how he was slowly getting closer. Is he trying what I think he is trying? He was inches away from her face, his eyes slowly closing. Yup, he sure is she thought triumphantly before she closed the gap between them and placed her lips on his.

His lips where soft, a little hesitant and surprised, but with prolonged exposure to her lips he relaxed and slowly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to the edge of the car seat, right next to the door.

They broke the kiss and looked at each other. Dark green blue eyes meeting light blue ones. Alisha smiled and opened the car door, slowly stepping out.

"Well I am about ready for bed. I need to REGAIN my strength after all" she said in a sassy voice as she headed for the door. That is until she felt arms, tentatively, wrap around her. His arms became almost like a shield around her chest, his large hands softly holding onto her upper arms. She found herself leaning into his large chest and surprisingly, relaxing against him.

"I…don't…want you…to leave me…again." Ty said into the back of her head. She could feel him giving in to some deep feeling.

"What are you saying Ty. Why are you doing this now?" She asked; she wanted him to say it. To say it truthfully to her. To her while she was awake. She knew that this is along the lines of what he wanted to say to her when she was in the coma.

"Because, I guess. I have, been in love with you, since we where kids. I didn't know until I nearly lost you during the fight, but also during the past month we spent in 2010 all those years ago. And this last month in our time. I found that the reason I was doing all those terrible things to you was because I wanted you to look at me. I wanted to get a reaction out of you. I wanted you to pay all your attention to me, even though it was just you yelling at me" He said into her shoulder. He was nearly collapsing in on himself. "Now I know how to get your attention even more. I just hate that it took me until I lost you to finally realize how much you meant to me. I am not the only one. The rest of us came to the same conclusion." Tyler said before taking a deep breath. "You once told Lance that every team, every group, every member in that group has a part to play. Well your part is the most important. The leader is the one in charge of rallying his group in a time of need, but you are the glue that keeps us together at ALL times. We gravitate towards you, keep you close to us and in turn keep everyone else close as well. You tie us together and without you, the people in this house would not be the team they are. You are the sun to our solar system, keeping us going and keeping us together at all times, and you are my gravity that keeps me grounded to your world. You are the butter to my bread and the breath to my life. I love you so much Alisha." he softly said into her hair.

Alisha was completely taken by surprise. It almost sounded like someone had told him what to say to her. "Did one of the twins tell you to say that?"

"Nope, that one was all me, 100%." He sighed into her.

She placed her hands over his and rubbed her thumb over his in a comforting way. "I know. I feel the same way. I wish I could make a speech like you did but you probably had more time to think about it then I did." She said, turning in his arms and kissing him again.

He was a little taken aback and hesitant at first like before, but he melted into the feel of her lips, as she did with his. His lips where soft and sure. He picked her up so he didn't need to stoop down to kiss her. After all, he was about a head and a half taller than her. They heard the thumping of her slippers hitting the floor but they didn't care. They had each other.

She ran her hands up and down his back, down to his ass and squeezing it. She felt his body shake and him smile.

"Careful hun, you may not like where you are going with this" Ty said into the kiss.

"I know where I want to go with this. I have wanted to go there for a while. I just never knew until recently." She said, winking at him, grabbing his ass harder and digging her nails into his skin.

"Oh thank God, I thought I was the only one." Ty sighed and went into the kiss more ferociously. Bringing her over to a wall and pinning her against it.

So she is alive, she is healthy, she is going to make a full recovery, and she is now with Tyler. All this built up angst is going to come flooding out in a big way during the next chapter ;D. Please review and tell me what you thought!

LOVE TO ALL
