A/N This is probably the last chapter : ( I'm going to try and write up one more before starting on the next story. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

We were all fighting as hard as we could as the Chitauri kept coming. I glanced over to where Nat and Steve were fighting and saw her run towards Steve who was holding he shield in front of him. With one swift movement, Steve launched Natasha into the air and she went zooming past us.

"Whoa!" Mikey shouted as he punched a Chitauri in the face.

"That lady's insane!" Raph shouted.

"Yes, yes she is." I laughed. "Now stop hogging all the aliens."

Donnie rolled his eyes and fought with one until it was near me before finding another to beat up.

"Thanks Donnie." I smiled as Dad and Elek came flying through.

Dad shot at Cap's shield which bounced off and redirected the beam. Elek picked up two Chirtauri and bashed them together before flying to the top of a building and dropping them. I flinched as the aliens hit the ground. Dad went with a similar attack. Raph was surrounded by a big group and I rushed over.

"Hey, Raph! Around the world!" I shouted as I dove at him. His Sai hooked onto my bo staff and he swung me in a circle. My feet connected with all of the aliens surrounding him and when they were all down Raph stopped.

"Good call, but I had it." Raph smirked.

"Yeah, yeah." I waved him off as I charged at another group, but hesitated when a loud explosion went off in a building. Steve came stumbling out moments after. "Captain!" I went over to him. "You okay?"

He nodded. "Let's just finish this."

"I agree." I nodded as we joined the others again. That's when things started to go downhill for us. I didn't see Hawkeye on the building anymore and Hulk was being rushed by bullets. My eyes widened, but I had to stay focus. The guys were next to me fighting until Nat came onto our headsets.

"I can close it. Can anybody copy? I can shut the portal down."

"Do it!" Steve shouted.

'No, wait.' Dad interrupted.

"Stark, these things are still coming." Steve argued.

'I got a nuke coming in. It's gonna blow in less than a minute.' Dad said. "\'And I know just where to put it.'

"Stark, you know that's a one-way trip." Steve told him.

'Elek!' I called out for him.

'I'm going after your dad.'

"What? No! Elek, stand down." I was so worried I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

"What is it?" Donnie asked.

"Elek's going after my dad." I answered. "Dad, if you copy. Please, we can figure out another way."

'There's no time.' He told me.

I stared up at the sky looking for him. "There's plenty of time, we can figure something out. Just you and me, like it's always been."

'I love you, Bails.' He said in a sad voice.

"Dad!" I screamed into the air as he flew by with Elek trailing him. "No!"

I ran towards where he and Elek entered the portal. My breath hitched and I couldn't breathe. I felt my knees hit the ground.

"Bailey!" I heard Donnie rush to me.

My eyes never left the sky as everything started to get dark. Elek wasn't going to make it, I could feel that. My eyes shut and I felt myself collapsed. In the distance I heard Steve shouting orders and the Hulk roaring. Did we win?

(Steve's POV)

"Stark, you know that's a one-way trip." I told Tony.

"What? No! Elek, stand down." I turned to see Bailey staring at the sky begging her father to wait. "Elek's going after my dad." She said. "Dad, if you copy. Please, we can figure out another way."

'There's no time.' He told her.

"There's plenty of time, we can figure something out. Just you and me, like it's always been." She kept looking for Stark.

I couldn't help but think of Peggy. This was so similar to what I did to her when I crashed that plane. Like Stark, I wasn't planning on coming back, but this was to save millions. Unfortunately, the ones who play 'hero' always forgets the ones they leave behind.

'I love you, Bails.' He said in a sad voice to his daughter.

"Dad!" Bailey screamed into the air as he flew by with Elek trailing him. "No!"

Once the two made it towards the wormhole, Bailey collapsed. I rushed to her with the turtle with the purple mask, Donatello, and looked up to see Tony hovering right in front of the portal. That means…no.

(Bailey's POV)

My eyes fluttered open and took in the bright white room. I felt as if everything was in slow motion as my memory started to fill me in, but something wasn't right. From the smell and technology of the room, I could tell I was in the hospital. The door in the corner opened and literally all of the Avengers walked in, even the turtles. Dad sat on the bed and smiled.

"Hey, Bails, how you feeling?" He asked.

"You're okay?" I smiled and wrapped my arms around him before slapping him. "What the hell is your problem?"

"I'm sorry, Bails." He pulled me into him again, but yet again, I pulled away.

"Where's Elek? I-I can't feel him." I started getting nervous as I looked around to see everyone dodging my gaze.

"He didn't make it out of the portal," Don stepped forward, "but we can build him again. We still have all of the blueprints and notes."

"You think he'll still be the same?" I asked as I swallowed back the tears that were stinging my eyes.

"Yes." Donnie answered with such certainty, I couldn't even think about not believing him.

Then I turned to the other Avengers, and noticed Thor was missing. "He took Loki?"

"Yeah, how are you doing?" Steve answered.

"I'm okay." I told mostly to myself and nodded. "Thanks."

I glanced over at my dad and smiled. "You went to that Shwarma place without me, didn't you?"

He shrugged. "You were still knocked out and we were hungry."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Jerk."

"Well, we have to head out, Fury's calling." Barton said as he and Nat waved and left.

"Bye." I waved back.

"I'll take you to Shwarma, you're being released today anyway." Dad smiled.

"Yay!" I smiled as Dr. Banner went to get my doctor to get me out of here.

"Oh and the one guy who works there is blind so the turtles could come too." Dad said.

I nodded and Donnie and the guys smiled. Mikey shoved past his brothers and hugged my dad. "Thank you, Mr. Stark!"

"Uh, yeah, let go." Dad peeled Mikey off.

They all backed up as the doctor came over and took out the IVs and took off the heart monitors. Once that was done, dad gave me a change of clothes to get in. So after I changed, we headed for Shwarma. In the back of my mind I kept the emotions of hearing that Elek was gone. I can't believe he's gone. I know Donnie said we can rebuild him, but he's not going to be the same, I just know it.

My dad, the turtles, and I munched loudly on our food as the blind worker shuffled around the diner, I guess you can call it. I had to admit the food here was pretty awesome! Dad was on my left and Donnie was on my right as the two talked about new inventions. I would've joined in on the conversation, but I'm still getting over the fact that I'm not sharing a brain anymore…I don't like it. Now it feels as if I'm alone, even with the turtles and dad being here.

'You're not alone.'

I glanced over at Donnie, who gave me a quick smile as he continued to talk to my dad about a way to get one of his suits to go to dad on his command. Pft, copycat. Maybe, this one will be like Elek. Then I thought, the new Elek I made, would I keep Elek's name? That was Elek's name, and he picked it himself. I don't feel right just giving it to someone else. We'll see when the time comes.
