AN-

The final chapter for the second installment. (You might want tissues and move expensive breakable things away from you.)

I was doing my daily mind scan of the ship when I got a sudden headache and new entities appeared. Gold, black, deep purple, deep blue and grayish lights came into view.

"Tell me you read that?" Adam called, breaking me out of my concentration.

"Yeah," I said and smiled.

"Who do you think they are?"

"Family," I said and stood up going to the door.

"I'll be back." I called and ran out to the main control room.

Thanos was pressed up against a console and Clint was at his neck. It seemed the rest of the team wanted to do the exact same.

"I don't know maybe you could go look," Thanos growled. I noticed his thumb was sliding over to the security button.

I used my magic to make the button hot. The second Thanos touched it, it burned his skin and he let out a gasp of pain. That's when I noticed Natasha was staring right at me. I put a finger to my lips and she gave a slight nod. I turned invisible and started to focus my energy to the room. I noticed Natasha had whispered something to Tony.

"Clint, get off of him. If you kill him, we won't find her." Natasha said.

Clint growled, but stepped back. I smiled and let the energy I had built up fly through the room and electrocute Thanos. He wasn't killed, just temporarily paralyzed. I reappeared and took a deep breath.

"It took you guys long enough." I laughed, out of breath.

"Stephanie," Clint sighed but stood planted to the ground.

Thor came rushing to me and crushed me in a hug.

"Oh Stephanie, we have all missed you dearly."

"Thanks a lot Thor," I gasped.

"Come on, let her go big guy." I heard Steve say.

Thor let me go and I took a deep breath.

"You ready to leave?" Steve asked as Tony and Thor picked up Thanos.

"No, there are other prisoners here that need to be released." I said and grabbed the keys on Thanos' belt.

"I'll go with you," Natasha said.

"No, it's easy to get lost even if you're following someone, stay here and cover this hall. I'll call if I need help." With that, I ran down the hall towards Adam's cell.

"Adam!" I called.

"Are you crazy?" He hissed, "They'll hear us."

"No, it's okay, my friends took down Thanos."

"Really?"

"Yeah, now I'm breaking you out." I said and jammed the key into the lock.

I twisted the key until the door swung open. Inside the cell was a tall man with near white hair, his face was perfectly sculpted and his eyes a bright blue.

"Hello Adam," I said and smiled.

"Hello Stephanie," He responded.

I ran up to him and hugged him and he returned it.

"Now come on, we have more work to do." I said and we rushed out.

Adam took the key and made a copy for himself. As we went along, we quickly undid all of the locks and told all of the creatures to go home. All were very thankful. Finally we got to the center of the ship. I looked at the writing on the panel on the side of the wall.

"A key or two might do the trick, but a bit of magic will make it stick." It read in Skrull.

"That isn't a very clever riddle." I said.

"Come on," Adam said.

I rushed over to the green orb and put my key into the bottom. I put my hands on the side, as did Adam and we focused our magic into it. The case shattered and Susan Storm fell out. Adam caught her and sat her to the wall until we opened the second one. We did the exact same procedure and the case shattered.

"Dad," I laughed as Loki stood there, swaying slightly.

"Stephanie," Loki smiled and hugged me.

"Dad, we have to get out of here, now."

"Warlock?" Loki asked looking at Adam.

"Yes, I am willing to put aside our differences so that we may escape."

"Good diplomacy, now come on," Loki said and grabbed my hand.

Adam picked up Susan and we started running back to the Avengers.

"So you are the little pricks, letting everyone go." A Skrull said as he fell from the rafters.

Others started to appear; all with guns.

"Make sure she gets out of here, Warlock." Loki said and let go of my hand sending blasts of magic at the Skrulls, they started to swarm him and Adam started pulling me away.

"No! Dad!" I screamed, fighting against Adam.

"Come on, he'll meet us back on Earth."

I let out a cry and followed Adam.

We got to the main control room and a breathless Adam gave Susan to Steve and stopped to take a breath. All of a sudden, a blade exploded from his chest.

"Adam!" I screamed as he collapsed to the ground.

Thanos stood behind him laughing manically.

"Did you honestly think you were the only one who could duplicate themselves?" Thanos laughed.

"You monster!" I cried rushing to Adam.

I focused all of my energy into hate and anger, forcing it to only the point where Thanos was standing. He stood in a tunnel of light before my tears started to fall. The electricity disappeared and Thanos was fried.

"Adam," I whispered, tears blurring my vision.

"Hey, I th-think, I don't have much time." Adam coughed, blood pooling at the corners of his mouth.

"No, don't you dare say that. You were going to come live with us remember?"

"Yeah, I remember."

"Then you have to come with us, yeah?"

"How about I meet you down there? I have to make sure your father gets out right?"

"No, Adam, please don't die, I can try and heal-" I put my hands over his wound and tried to focus any energy I had left.

"No, Steph, it won't work. I have to die."

"No, no more have to die today." I said.

"Look, someone will, it's fate. Either I die or you die trying to heal me, and I don't think I could do that."

"Adam please, I can at least try."

"No, I-" Adam started then stopped.

"Adam, what? Adam?" A said shaking him slightly.

It was quiet for a moment then an explosion sounded from the hallway.

"Come on, we have to go, now." I heard Tony say.

I felt someone grabbing me, trying to pull me off of Adam. It seemed to go in slow motion. I heard People trying to comfort me as I screamed. I heard Loki and Skrulls cry out in pain from far away. The person finally got me away from Adam and was holding me tight in their arms. Now I knew how Harry Potter felt when Sirius died. Suddenly I felt wind whipping around me. I screamed and screamed.

"Dad!" I called.

Just as we were about to leave, Loki appeared from the hall. He was running. I held out my hand as far as I could. He reached out too. He was moments away and the portal disappeared. We appeared on the roof of Stark Towers. The person holding me, who I figured out was Clint, let me go. I crumpled to the ground and sobbed. The team left me alone on the roof for me to calm down.

~oOo~

It was sundown in New York. I sat on the roof of Stark Towers, headphones in and blasting. Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I stared into the sky, looking for something and not really anything at the same time. I felt someone sit down beside me. I paused my music and pulled out my head phones.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Clint asked me.

I nodded in agreement.

"You come out here every night; the team barely sees you anymore."

"I know he's out there." I said, ignoring the comment.

"What happened on Thanos' ship-"

"Is in the past, and that's where I want it to stay. Okay?" I looked meaningfully at Clint.

He gave a nod and looked out onto the city.

"He'll come for you, I just know it."

I sat there completely emotionless.

"Just don't let us lose you too."

I looked at Clint his blue eyes, searching mine.

"Come to bed when you're ready." He said and kissed my head.

I looked back to the sunset painting the city a brilliant orange.
