This was supposed to be a simple rescue mission, how it turned to a suicide mission was beyond The Avengers understanding. The lab was supposed to be empty.
That was their mistake, they 'supposed' the situation. And it caused them a life - Steve Rogers's.
How were they going to tell his 6 year old daughter that her daddy was not coming back home like he usually did. How were they going to tell her there won't be anyone to sing her to sleep, read bedtime stories or play dolls with her. How were they going to tell her this was all their fault, he died saving them.
The plane ride back to the compound was eerily silent and grim. Steve's lifeless body was lying on the medical table, no one even dared to look that way. Bucky's tears had dried out, Natasha was still in denial that her best friend had died. Tony tried distracting himself by tinkering on his suit but who was he kidding ? He knew deep down just how hard it was going to be. Bruce was stitching up and patching up Steve's wounds and cuts, wincing every time he looked at his lifeless form.
"How are we going to face Y/N ?" Pietro whispered as Wanda sobbed beside him. He didn't get a response because everyone knew that even though they mentally prepare themselves for everything, no one can prepare them to tell a child that their only parent was dead.
As the jet landed, everyone got up reluctantly.
"Uncle Tony !" Tony's eyes welled up at the sight of Y/N's happy face, she was squirming in Thor's arms as Loki and Peter stood beside them.
"Where's daddy ?" she asked peering behind the group. A sob escaped Nat's mouth as she covered her face and ran into the compound.
Loki, Thor and Peter knew exactly what had happened, and they couldn't control themselves.
"Y/N sweetheart daddy's asleep" Loki said picking her up. She kicked and cried as Loki forcefully carried her inside, while everyone else laid Steve's body in the med bay.
"I want daddy !!" Y/N wailed running towards the med bay, everyone was crying and the little child couldn't understand why.
"Come on, we'll go see daddy" Tony held her little hands.
"Y/N, I'll always be there okay ? Even when daddy's not around" he said picking her up.
"Why won't daddy be around Uncle Tony ? Is he going on a mission again ?" she asked innocently tilting her head. Tony didn't answer, he pushed open the door.
"Daddy !" Y/N squealed jumping on Steve's bed. Tony choked on a sob, everyone was watching from behind the window, crying and cursing themselves.
"Daddy wake up ! It's Y/N" she said shaking him violently
Even though his heart went out to the little girl, Tony pulled her backwards.
"Y-Y/N daddy's going to be sleeping for a long time" he said
"Why ?" she questioned.
It took everything in him to open his mouth and tell her the truth.
"H-He is gone sweetheart, he's in heaven now" he said and Y/N's eyes welled up with tears as she climbed back on Steve's bed.
"DADDY ! NO ! WAKE UP !" she screamed sobbing loudly in his chest.
As she kept sobbing, a golden mist covered her and Steve's body sending a blinding flash of light throughout the room, Tony could hear others run into the room but he couldn't open his eyes.
"Y-Y/N ?" Everyone's heads shot up as they saw the super-soldier who was dead a few minutes ago, sit up and embrace his sobbing.
"OH MY GOD !" Loki screams as the confused faces turn to look at him.
"Thor ! It's Her ! She's-She's Freyja !" he exclaims, Thor's eyes widen as he takes a second look at Y/N.
"Freyja ?" Wanda questions
"Yes, The goddess of Life and Love, she laid her life during the battle of the nine realms, her father the God of seas allowed her a rebirth the only condition being, her memories would be wiped and no one would know the time and place of her birth, the only thing that'll remain will be her powers"
"And she can only save 5 lives in this reincarnation, and she saved one already" Thor completed.
Everyone's eyes darted between Thor and little Y/N, still sobbing in her father's chest, unknown to her past or future as a matter of fact.
"Daddy ! Please don't leave me again" she sobbed wrapping her legs around his waist.
"I won't sweetheart, I'm so sorry" Steve whispered peppering kisses on her forehead and cheeks.
"I love you daddy" she whispered before dozing off on his chest, all the activity she had done drained her energy.
"I love you too doll"
"She is oblivious of everything that happened or that she possesses such powers" Tony says meeting Steve's gaze.
"Then we keep it that way" he says stroking his daughter's hair, which had turned to a mixture of golden-blonde.
"It wouldn't stay that way for long Steve" Loki commented
"After all she's -"
"Freyja"
***************************************************
I am so proud of this chapter, I mean I feel this is the best chapter so far, idk what do you guys say ? Should I make a part 2 .... but I have no clue what to write in it so suggest something too guys !
And Freyja is indeed the goddess of Love and Life, you can go read Norse Mythology if you don't believe me, and her father is the god of seas- Njörðr.
Love
Yours Truly. ❤💜💜
