Chapter 1: Please
A tower in the busiest city in America had a solemn atmosphere. Normally the halls and floors would be pouring with life. But the last few months the heart of this tower had been dying. He had been putting together plans for his death. The man had so many regrets and he just wanted to ease some of the burdens he would leave on those he loves.
But now he was basically bedridden and didn't have much longer left. He would probably not live to see the dawn the next day. All his friends and family had come and would be saying their goodbyes in the coming hours.
But there was still at least one thing he wanted. He wanted his Avengers back. His friends. Those the media called Rogues. But they would never be to him. He had been angry and hurt but he didn't hate them and wanted nothing more for himself to see them one last time.
His wife and husband were looking at their dying love with heartbreak. After all the hardships all three of them had been in this was how it was going to end for one of them.
"Please Tash, James I need to see them again", the dying man begs his wife and husband, "Tonight is all I have left...", he coughs, "…please…if they don't want to come fine. But I need to see them. Seeing them will help to bring me peace at the end"
The woman closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Then my Love I'll see what I can do with Stephen. James will stay and get you situated on the roof and the others are gathering. I'll try and get them here as fast as I can", the woman promises him she kisses his lips.
She was telling the truth she was going to get them here. One way or another. As she wanted her husband to be at peace when he passed. She and James would do anything to give their husband that.
"Take care of him James", she says to the solider.
"I will. Be careful Nat. Stevie won't be easy to convince. Are you sure you don't want me to do it?" he asks.
"No. Stay here with him. I can do this", she replies.
The man nods and watches the woman leave on a mission to do the last little things she could do for their dying husband.
"James?" the dying man whispers.
James runs his fingers through his husband's hair.
"Lets get you situated Sweetheart", James tells him.
And he begins to bundle him up in piles of blankets before lifting the worrying light man up and going to bring him to the safest highest point of his tower.
So, the dying man could not only say his goodbye but he hopefully could see the stars and one last sunrise…
(Line Break)
The Rogues didn't know what to think of the news that they were seeing in Wakanda. Even the SHIELD Agents with them didn't know much. They only knew that Tony Stark hadn't been seen in months and nobody had a clue why.
But people had reported Natasha Romanoff coming in and out of Stark Tower along with a host of others arriving for no apparat reason.
Something was going on and they didn't know what.
Coulson had his own problems he was missing several of his team. Melinda May, Daisy Johnson, Bobbi Morse, Antonio Triplett and he hadn't even heard from Sharon Carter or even Maria Hill. And he didn't even remember the last time Nick Fury called him.
So, he was only operating by a small team. So, he decided to give his idol Captain America some help and here they all were sheltered in Wakanda. But to Phil's disappointed Wakanda didn't know much about what was happening back home.
Reports on the coming and goings at Stark Tower were…disturbing to say the least.
They had been called to a meeting room by T'Challa saying he had to tell them something. Shuri had arrived and when questioned she shrugged.
"I don't know what he wants", she replies to the question.
Suddenly the door opens T'Challa, Okoye and a few of the Royal Guard enter. But they weren't the only ones. A man with a strange floating cap came in and next to him was…Natasha Romanoff.
"Nat!" Clint exclaims excitedly.
He rushes to her but she takes a step back.
"Please sit Clint", she tells him.
He frowns and so do the others.
"Nat how and why are you here?" Steve asks her, something deep inside he felt like something is wrong.
"Who is this?" Sam asks looking at the man in the cap.
Natasha looks around and everyone she wanted was here including James Rhodes and Pepper Potts. She held no ill will towards them. They did what they had to do and she knew Tony didn't hold anything against them either.
She takes a deep breath, "He is Doctor Stephen Strange, Supreme Sorcerer of Earth. He has helped me come here today. As time is not on my side"
"Has something happened?" Steve asks looking really worried.
"Is Tony, ok?" Rhodey asks her.
"Why should you ask about Tony after what he did!" Wanda exclaims.
"Something has happened", Natasha interrupts, "And Wanda, I suggest you get some facts straight before you go accusing people of something they didn't do"
"Natasha what is wrong?" Coulson asks her, he could see the stress in her face and he hated to think what else he saw.
He thought he saw grief.
"I need you to come with me back to New York. Please", Natasha says to them, she would be willing to beg if she had too.
"We would be arrested! Stark would see to that!" Clint exclaims.
"No one will touch you. When you step foot where I am taking you, you'll be untouchable", Natasha tells them truthfully.
"Nat you're not making much sense", Steve tells her.
"What is this on the news about all the people coming and going from Stark Tower?" Pepper asks her.
"First off it is still Avengers Tower. Second those people have come for the same reason I have come for you", Natasha tells them.
"And what would that be?" Sam asks her curiously.
"T'Challa tell Steve about Bucky", Natasha says suddenly ignoring Sam's question.
T'Challa raises an eyebrow at her and she nods knowing there was going to be an outburst.
"What about Bucky?" Steve asks anxiously.
"We couldn't help him, Captain. The programming was beyond what even my sister could fix", T'Challa tells them.
Everyone looks at Shuri in surprise.
"It is true. I only know of one person who is smarter then me that could solve the problem and lucky for Sergeant Barnes he was more then willing to help and had a couple of other people to help him free the Sergeant", Shuri replies.
"Who?" many ask.
"Doctor Stark", Shuri replies casually.
Suddenly an explosion of shouts come from around the room. Saying how Stark couldn't be trusted. Suddenly a gun went off and they all saw that Natasha had fired her gun in the air.
"Sorry your Majesty but I couldn't have everyone badmouthing Tony. I don't like it and we don't have the time", Natasha replies.
"Easily fixed", Stephen pipes up and waves his hands.
The hole in the ceiling disappears in seconds.
"I need to see Bucky", Steve tells Natasha.
"No. You don't", Natasha tells him.
"Nat…"
"What you ALL need is to come with me for a different reason. Tony needs you", Natasha tells them.
They go to protest but to their surprise Natasha starts begging.
"Please, I am begging you to come with me and to not ask questions. Those questions will be answered in the coming hours. And I don't have time. WE don't have time. As you can tell I am not above begging you to come. Please…I don't want to break the promise I made and I don't think you would forgive yourselves if you don't come with me. ALL of you", Natasha tells them pleadingly, "Please!"
This was disturbing to them. They had NEVER seen Natasha act like them. They had never seen her this emotional. She was nearly on her hands and knees begging them to come with her.
"Please if you don't trust Tony, like you should, trust ME! At least trust me! Please come with me!" Natasha begs, the months of her husband's terminal diagnosing starting to get to her.
"We will come with you Natasha", Coulson says looking at her and just knowing that she wouldn't be acting this way for nothing.
"We are too", Steve responds also.
Actually, they could all see the cracks in Natasha's carefully made mask and if that mask was cracked something big was going down.
Seeing those cracks made them agree with Steve. Even if Wanda and Scott were still a little suspicious.
"We will just go and pack", Steve tells her.
"NO!" Natasha says quickly.
Everyone jumps at her exclamation.
"You can…you can come back after…after its…", Natasha flinches, "…over. No one will stop you either way. Just please come with me without delay. You too King T'Challa and Princess", Natasha tells them, "You can bring your guard with you if that makes you comfortable"
"Then lead the way Miss Romanoff", T'Challa says gently, knowing that now wasn't a time to argue.
"Stephen will make a portal. And thank you. All of you for doing this and I am sorry I really am. But I believe this is going to be the most important and heartbreaking moment of your lives"
