Part 22

“Oh, my love, the stories are pale in comparison to your beauty when looked upon with my own eyes,” Korvac mumbled, blushing as he caressed your delicate skin. “I’m sorry for hurting you.” He frowned, his gaze dropping at the sight of your wrist tightly tied around the edge of the headboard. “It’s your fault anyway, If you haven’t kicked me, then you’d be free as a bird.”

 “I wasn’t ever free ever since you took me away from my home, you animal!” You spat back, hatred and rage lingering over your words as you looked at the monster in front of you. Your head throbbed, as you felt the thick liquid trickle from your forehead to your mouth- the iron taste of blood not even foreign anymore. It’s been two days since you saw the Doctor, but even with the medicine and supplements he gave you-the agonizing pain you felt in your head never ceased away. So, without even consulting the doctor- you stopped taking the medications, thinking that they weren’t even doing anything and maybe the doctor just gave the wrong dosage, but you were wrong- It wasn’t not working because of the miscalculation with the dosages-but because it wasn’t even meant for the pain. It was meant for you to not remember anything, but as you stopped drinking it instantly- your body drastically coped up; and now- You remember. Everything.

 “That won’t do anything, sweetheart,” Korvac smirked, watching you try to free yourself but continuously failing. “Uh-uh.” He chuckled, earning a glare from you as you quickly stopped what you were doing “Don’t do that. You might hurt our little one. “ He laughed, his hand caressing your growing bump. It was in an instant that you were back into your first state when you got there, confused and heartbroken. Your gaze dropped-your eyes instantly tearing up as you felt the kicks, tiny footprints visible for a second or so –You sobbed, your train of thoughts continuously making you feel horrible and dirty.

 “Steve, Tony…...Where are you? Save me.Please”

 “She’s a hero you know” Steve whispered, his blue orbs glistening with tears; and if you look close enough-you can see a glimmer of hope. “You should have seen her work. “

 “I did.” Fury grunted.

 “No. You didn’t, You saw her fought battles in the gym. You saw her train, But you haven’t seen her work. In the field, with us- saving people.” Natasha butted in.

“Every day she worked for a better tomorrow, a more noble outcome. Because for ‘Iana? A rock in her path was simply an opportunity to think harder, to develop new solutions. Every fork in the road she walked both paths until she was sure which was the right one and then she ran as fast as she could. “ Pete stepped up, tears flowing.

 “She-She held on tight to her dreams and woke up every day like her success was already there, she just had to keep on walking to it. "Mind over matter," that's what she would say, "whatever your goal is, keep striving, we're all going to make it together." Tony chuckled, for the first time in five years-Tony finally smliled.

 “Are you teaming up, against me?” The director smirked.

 “Isn’t that what you want? Director?”

 “It is, Captain.”

 Steve stopped for a moment, contemplating what a mission like this could mean, and how it could end.  He felt the lingering fear, the anxiousness, it was back and it scared him. What could possibly happen? It’s been five years since they last saw you, since they last knew you were alive. So will he risk it? Again? Can he let his team go through that dreadful times? Can he? Was Wanda telling the truth? Did she really have visions? Or was she just dreaming? As he felt a light hand atop of his shoulder, He stared at the hazel eyes, Tony’s hoping ones-feeling that he was seeing the real man for the first time, Tony’s emotions clearly visible in his expression. Steve knew that Tony was asking for help, but was too proud to actually say the words.  Behind the man in iron, Natasha looked back; her hands holding onto Wanda’s. It was his team, They were back. Stronger and determined than ever.

 “Three minutes. Get what you need.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Eviana Hope Kalani had wept until the fount of tears seemed dry. She had beaten with her hands against the heavy door of her prison room until her knuckles streamed blood. Shouting and screaming as sobs escaped her swollen lips, sinking exhausted to the floor. The grief came in waves and threatened to consume her entirely. It was her master, for now. She was at the mercy of its whims and at times it bit at her with such ferocity she feared it would leave her an empty shell.

 “Let me out! Let me out please!” She screamed, It was the loudest; most piercing scream someone can ever hear. It sounded like a scream of wild panic. A scream of hysteria and disbelief, bordering on terror. “Please, Michael.” Eviana sobbed, shutting her eyes as she felt

 After a long period of time, Eviana’s eyes squinted as light passed through the steel door that prevented her from going anywhere. “Your son is looking for you, My Queen,” Korvac muttered, his voice thick with his accent- an accent that wasn’t new to her ears, but it made her hair stand straight up on the back of her neck; giving her chills of terror.

 “My son?”

 And as if on cue, the door opened widely-revealing a toddler who's eyes were red shot as tears continued flowing from his dark emerald eyes, it was like a forest at sunset; the green of the leaves clinging to the very last bits of light they could. A pang of pain started building up in her core, as if the pain that the child was feeling-was being transferred to her. It was as if she can feel it, the pain and confusion that the child continuously feels. As Sequoia waddled his way to his mother, his lips trembled-afraid that she was hurt and that there’s nothing he can do. “M-Mama?” He whispered, his innocent hands caressing her beaten cheeks. “M-Mama hurt?” There was nothing she can do but cry, in his eyes, she can see her own reflection. Her eyes were lighter, like a meadow on a summer day- it was a lighter shade of emerald, compared to his dark innocent emerald ones. His eyes were the kind of green that the grass gets jealous of. The kind of green that distracts you from everything around. His eyes were the kind of green that gets noticed even when you can't see them because his eyes showed straight through to his personality. That happy, light, noticeable yet innocent green is the variety he had.

 “No baby. Mama’s just tired.” Eviana lied, her gaze now glaring at the monster in front of her and her child. “Did you eat already ‘Se?” She smiled, trying to change the topic-knowing the little guy, he’d tell her stories about the different feast Michael always served them with. “’Quoia ate ‘m’shed poto.”

 “Oh.Was it nommy?”

 “Nommy nommy mama!” Sequioa cheered, his toothless grin showing-warming Eviana’s heart. It was as if all hurt and pain was lifted, and it was exchanged with more strength and love for the child in front of her, and the one growing inside her.

 “I’d never hurt him Carina.”

 “Stop calling me that!” Eviana roared. Her head, throbbing once again. “I told you. My name is Eviana!”

 “The doctor is here.You’ll be back soon, My love.” Korvac chuckled, aggressively picking up the crying toddler as Victor came inside. “Take care of her Victor.”

 “I will, My King.” As Victor came closer to her, A couple of Kronans followed-placing her back at a bed- swiftly inserting an Intravenous drip onto her swollen hand. It was in a matter of minutes that a primal scream escaped her lips once again.

 “Help me!”

   When a migraine struck, Eviana was its prisoner, quite helpless in her cage of pain. She was blinded with flashing colorful spots and craved darkness, quite and stillness. Often the nausea would overwhelm her, and she would vomit. Pain would throb so violently around her skull that she wondered why it didn't just crack open. It was always the same, a crushing pain just on one side of her head that came and went in a pattern, radiating to all the lobes of her brain. It made her want to pace about, she couldn't sit, couldn't lie down or relax. Her eyes would water because of the pain and her nose would bleed.

  “Is it done?” Korvac grunted, his eyes glued at the woman he loved-peacefully sleeping on their shared bed.

 “It’s done.” Victor proudly said. “The process went beautifully. She’s all yours Michael.” It was on cue as Eviana’s eyes fluttered open, her eyes quickly scanning the rest of the place. She was in her night gowns, her arm in a cast as a bandage was plastered on her right side of the head.

 “’Kael?” Eviana called out, her voice raspy, confused-and longing for something. “What happened?”

 “Oh, My Queen.” Korvac smirked, hiding his excitement as he wonderfully plastered a worried face. “It was a horrible accident. Sequioa, Our little trouble maker. He ran after the butterfly, not noticing the huge hole in the garden- And you, his hero- You saved him, hurting yourself….”

 “Is he hurt?’Kael!” Instantly, Eviana sat up-hurting herself in the process.“Don’t worry my love.He’s not!Because of you.” Korvac smiled, wickedly-as if he had won again.

Part 26

The gates creaked open and the team marched into the fort. Fear and dread coursed through every knight’s veins, swarming like ants, dressed in blood-red scarlet. The team caught everyone off guard, the cavaliers not even prepared to offer a good fight against Earth’s mightiest heroes. No one was even sweating as they kill anyone trying to block their path towards the very end of the tower.  Steve groaned, throwing his shield as it knocked off a handful of armies, Natasha somersaulting a knight that attacked her-Wanda and Pietro killing silently as the witch used her magic, her twin catching anyone off guard.  Everyone was doing their tasks effortlessly; chuckling- Thor gazed at the captain and Tony at his far left “This is odd. They’re all…weak.” The mighty God mumbled, easily swinging Mjolnir; rolling his eyes as he saw a bunch of guards on their way to attack him- half of them dead as Bucky and Sam tackled them. Thor quickly regretted his statement, From the shadows of the mere guards a while ago, comes a creature along with a noise enough to make all of them look up. They lifted their heads in confusion, needing to ascertain what the hell was making that noise. They saw the thing-the guards becoming kronans-they heard its snapping and its new whining. Peter saw it rearing up, spinning in circles, pounding the dirt and the already previously trampled rapeseed with its foremost legs. Making a shoddy looking crop circle, with various elongated edges.Their  legs snapped outwards no more than an inch, running towards them as all of them jump into a fighting stance. Wanda chuckled, Pietro looking at his sister weirdly- they’re in a fight and- the witch was smiling. But for Wanda, the guards transforming to kronans was a confirmation-that she was right. You’re here, and they’ll finally bring you home.Steve and the others finally catching up with her, and now-they would never give up now that they knew that you were alive and somewhere out there. So, It was right out of the same old playbook - dehumanize, destabilize, antagonize-anyone who’d come to their way.To get you home.

 The scream that rent the air was as good as a siren. Nobody screams like that unless it is terror beyond endurance. It was unmistakably a child and a young one. Every head turned and several sets of legs sprinted in the direction of the cry, until a pair stopped the others. Wanda looked at Tony and Bucky who was on their way towards the direction she’s about to take “What was that?” Bucky muttered, confusion evident on their faces as they chase their breaths away. Fighting kronans wasn’t as easy as they all thought it to be, and as the numbers of the mentioned creatures multiply-Wanda knew the others would be needing these two towards the wing where they think you are detained. “ I don’t know.” Wanda lied, her heart sinking more as her powers worked perfectly-instantly knowing what that scream was-or who was it. “ I’ll check on it.Go, Help the others.”  She sprinted away from the team, not giving the pair any more looks as Tony looked at her weird. Pietro quickly followed her, it was a millisecond just before he was already in front of her “You feel something?” He knew her too well, and he knew that the way she was sprinting and panting-it had to be urgent, enough to pull her out of her trance on getting towards you. The real mission. Wanda gulped, looked away at her brother as they both fought the guards that was stopping them. Oh, how badly she wanted to be wrong. “What is it?Wanda?You’ve got to answer me sis.”

 Wanda was about to answer Pietro was gone, he was behind her holding a pillar that was about to fall off just right to her head. “How can you not feel that?!” He yelled, angry as to why she didn’t even feel the force nor the sound it made. “What’s going on Wanda?”

 “They need you there ‘silver.” Their heads turn, seeing the other red-head; her eyes direct to Wanda’s ones. “We’ve got this.” Pietro was about to oppose when Wanda told him to go, Pietro didn’t understand. But he knows his girls knows what their doing. Quickly, the three went on their ways. As the two woman sprint towards the end of the hall, the primal yelps of need getting louder.

 “Mama!I want to see my Mama!”

 “Is it-“ Natasha gasped, her eyes wide as both of them opened the doors- “Eviana?”

“It’s not.” Wanda mumbled, her eyes filled with tears as she dare star at the blue doe one’s looking at her- “It’s her child.”

 The acrid smell of stale gunpowder envelops in Steve’s nasal cavities. The war has grudged on for five years now. And their sanity was on the verge of extinction. Looking around, all they can see are stray limbs and dead creatures - once fine young men, women and kronans, who now are no longer recognizable as human. Then the gunfire starts, yet again. The fight continues, as all of them were on their own assigned wing. Him, Tony, Thor, Clint and Bruce took the North, As the others took the South, East and West wing.

Tony panted, he may have looked calm on the exterior, but he was locked in his own mind, his own anxiety and worries were paralyzing him.  The visions of losing you the first time kept playing like a recording stuck on replay; he could hear the screams as if he were in that moment again right now. How could he possibly survive that loss again? Losing you once, one of the people he loved the most in the world was traumatic enough- but if he ever knows that this day would end and they wouldn’t be on the winning end -yet again, he knows it would destroy him.

 “Isn’t this a delight?” A loud eerie voice stunned the men, fighting their way towards the end of the hall. No one ever expected to hear him ever talk again, that this was the end of their mission; of finding you, as Korvac stood tall in front all of them-behind his team of growling creatures. “I can’t help but feel disappointed Captain,” He smirked, irking everyone as Steve took a stance in the middle-ready to battle, more than ever. “It took you and your team five years to find her. Made yourselves fool for one of my tricks!Ha!” He laughed, Tony growling at the sound of his chuckles lingering with pride and mischievousness, remembering Mystique and how they were all fools to fall to his trap,letting you down even more.

“You son of a bitch.” Clint was the first one to answer, anger boiling up in him just like the rest of his teammates.

“Oh,I thought your captain didn’t like that kind of talk?” Korvac jested, his eyes all knowing as if to say that he indeed was watching them for a long time before taking you in captivity.  

“It’s you.” Tony threatened, “We can say whatever the fuck we do.” Korvac loved what he was seeing. The men in front of him was evidently heartbroken, shattered really, robbed of anything that is necessary to put their souls back together.And it was because of him, He won and the Avengers lost.

“Finish them.” Korvac exclaimed, his eyes wide as his minions of kronans growled their way towards the already in-fight Avengers men. “Make sure no one enters the Queen’s quarters.”

The sounds of gunfire and explosions filled the hall along with their comms, As Tony tried and summon any of the team, “Hello?Anyone?!We found Korvac!”   Steve grabbed Tony’s arm as a group of kronans was about to ambush them from behind, the billionaire looked at the Captain with wide eyes-panting as both of them started fighting again,killing the creatures with no remorse.

Steve and Tony ran towards the end of the hall as fast as their legs would allow. Their eyes locking to Korvac’s golden ones, instantly-Korvac was floating as Tony tried to charge towards him with his repulsor beam. “You’re a coward!” Tony grunted.

“You call me a coward?!I did everything I wanted. I planned it perfectly, and I got what I want- and all of you fell into my trap. You were all suffering and devastated enough to not know that the girl in front of you wasn’t the girl your looking for!You’re all idiots, fools!” Korvac spat, proud of his actions as he charge his power towards the two, completely missing them but enough to separate and distance them from him. “And Eviana,”

“She was perfect.So perfect.” He mumbled, his eyes going back to it’s human colors as he daydreamed about you. “ So innocent of everything. And no one of you dare to teach her how to be a proper woman!She was a masterpiece waiting to be noticed-And then I saw her, in the news back at Midgard.She was a goddess, But then- years later, I saw her with the god of thunder and his brother-walking in the garden back at Asgard,and the stories pale in comparison to her beauty when looked upon with my own eyes.”

Every word stung, only fueling the fire that burned inside of Steve and Tony as they listen to what Korvac did to her, on what he meant on “teaching her to be a proper woman.”.  You can see it first in Tony’s eyes, then a tension of his muscles, an inability to think clearly soon followed. His rationality was long gone and offline and the primitive Tony who reverted to his old habits was in the room-and suddenly his liberal opinions were gone, his ability for nuance and emotional generosity were gone too-just like with Steve, as.every phrase violated him and was like gasoline to the anger boiling in his heart, his fists began to clench as his jaw rooted. “What did you do to her!” Steve couldn’t take it anymore, He felt the tears brimming his eyes as he forcefully threw his shield towards the deity’s head-knocking him out. There was stillness on both sides. If hatred was visible the air would have been scarlet. Then suddenly movement, so much force in every blow. Tony and Steve rained blows onto Korvac’s as if they meant to smash him into the very earth and Korvac did the same.Thor swung Mjolnir perfectly toward’s Korvac’s head.Tony was quick to follow as he let his repulsor beamed with its highest force of power directly hitting Korvac, as Thor followed their lead as he let his surge of power combine with Tony’s. Bruce’s eyes widen as he witnessed a different set of beam merge and blend with Tony’s and Thor’s-Vision’s. Each didn't just want the other dead, they wanted him smashed, obliterated, nothing left to bury.

Clint,Bruce and Pietro backed down as the felt the heat of the trio’s power, all of them knew that it would be impossible for him to bear that and still be alive-or even be conscious.

Pietro was quick enough to notice that no one was guarding the room at the end of the hall, it’s golden gate made his and Clint’s heart beat faster. It was the only door different to all of the other’s rooms, and it only had to mean one thing. “It’s the King and Queen’s quarters.” Bruce mumbled, his throat dry as all of them hear shuffling and sniffing at the other side of the door.

 “Who’s there?”

Part 24

It's been two days since they saw your last location,But the place was too wide to specify an area that even FRIDAY is having a hard time to locate.Charles did mention it though,That it would be hard to try and locate your accurate whereabouts;He knew it was because of Korvac,Of course.He had planned this for far too long and it was so perfect it took the team almost five years before finding you.

“Can you hand me the paprika?” Vision mumbled,his eyes focused towards the chicken he was preparing. “Wanda?” The enchantress stood there long, her mind wandering again-Sighing, he did the task himself. “I-I’m sorry.” She whispered, trying to get a hold of the spice-but it was in his grasp already,her eyes then falling towards her right hand-A round band made of cheap metal, with a twig of a daisy wrapped around it and it’s red gem-It fits snuggly onto her finger, one she shares with Natasha and Eviana-the latter made it by hand and gave it to them six Christmases ago, though she and the assassin never liked the celebration of such holidays, nor believed in it-but to see the youngest member (excluding baby Peter) of the team filled with joy and hope as the holidays arrive around the corner, they can’t help but feel joyous too. Holding the ring in her hand as if it were the most valuable item in the world, Wanda ran as fast as she could back to the tower, and back to Steve, with more determination than ever to find you.  She was convinced that somewhere in your mind, somewhere that they had to figure out how to reach, the real you was still in there and fighting to come back out.      

“We’re coming Eve, Hold on a little longer.”

In the intense silence that wrapped the whole room, Eviana somehow screamed with her whole body- the voices are at it again and  she could not stop it at all. Her eyes wide with horror, mouth rigid and open, her chalky face gaunt and immobile, fists clenched with blanched knuckles and the nails digging deeply into the palms of her hand. Her once terrified soul unleashing a demon, and all anger was released.hiding a truth from myself, of how much this is really to do with sadness and the scars that just won't heal. As her eyes open, A glow of gold and pink blinded the two twisted scientists as the Queen continued screaming; enabling her full force of power out of her system; The power she wasn’t even able to use for five years. “You’re a monster! I am Eviana Hope Kalani! I am not your Queen! I am no woman that needs any men, And you’re a fool to believe that you are even one!After what you’ve done to me!” Eviana roared, her throat hoarse and dry from the lack of hydration. Scenarios from your previous life came rushing into your mind, one racing the other as if your mind was letting you remember everything before your captivity. Michael’s face turned a deep red and his eyes darkened with rage. Quickly looking towards Dr. Doom, “What are you doing?!Make her stop!” Tears raced from his eyes, as he resumed on watching the long lost young lady- angry that what he has done wasn’t enough for her to stay with him. “I can’t do anything anymore Korvac! She somehow… evolved! And now, she’s powerful-more than ever. More than you!More than us!” Anger was building in Korvac’s body, And without any second thought he took the dagger in his boots and stabbed it right onto the doctor’s throat.

Korvac screamed, veins in his neck popping as he pulled his hair, dropping onto the floor. “You’re a monster.” Eviana whispered, her eyelids dropping as her body became immensely weak from all the energy it consumed. The fatigue was beginning to be too much for her, and her legs were no longer reliable.  The more her body sank towards the ground, the harder the restraints would pull and slowly tear her apart.  “Bring me back. Bring me back to Steve.” With one name dropped, Korvac cried in anger-His hands grasping around the chaotic laboratory as he took the latest potion the doctor invented, His heavy footsteps heard all over the basement of the castle-Entering the room where the queen was passed out, pouring all it’s content directly to her mouth. “You’re mine, Eviana!You’re mine!” He lavishly slurred, his hands caressing your cheeks as you continue to pass out. “You’re my Queen. Always and Forever…”

 Back at headquarters, Natasha was reading the data as quickly as she could, trying to wrap her mind around what she was seeing.  Every details of the mentioned creatures-The Kronans- their training program were violent and cruel, so much so that she looked away several times from the images on her files.  “FRIDAY, what’s this?” She mumbled “Wanda?” She looked back at her sister, the latter looking at her with hopeful eyes. “Ms. Maximoff sent this data . I have highlighted one file in particular that requires all your immediate attention.” The AI replied. Both their eyes focused in the screen, Wanda’s head turned as a few gruesome scenarios surfaced.

Suddenly, it was clear why as she stood with loud gasps echoing through the room, her hands raised over their agape mouth.  The person now on the screens had a likeness that was unmistakable; her mannerisms were the same, and her eyes were eerily similar. Could it really be her, their sister, after all this time?  After thinking she had been dead for so long. Wanda stood silently, she didn’t know where or who to go to when she secretly went to one of the abandoned laboratories and looked for their sister; and then results came rushing in the scree- FRIDAY quickly discussing everything, as if the AI had emotions-and that it was excited. The next thing she knew was that she was in front of the redhead’s room, knocking ang frantically calling her name saying she sent something through her account in the system, and they both need to look at it. Natasha looked at her, to see if she’d react and tell her that it was just a prank- That she’s still gone and is really dead. She had to be sure. They had to be sure before they brought this to the entire team.

 “FRIDAY, is that really her? Are you sure? Take the last known photo of her, apply age progression for five years and compare the two.” Natasha mumbled, quickly typing in a few settings before finalizing the output. “Yes, I do believe that is Miss Kalani,Miss Romanoff.”

Two photos appeared side-by-side, eliminating any doubt that she had.  The redhead  could only stare and shake her head at the realization of what, rather who, they had found, completely unsure of how to approach telling the rest of the team.
