I Would Always Change The Line

River and Scott got back home, well, to the compound.

She didn't really know where her dad and Tony were.

River walked over and sat to the side, grabbing a sandwich and eating. Scott sat down beside her. "You okay, kid?" He asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I mean, not right now. But I will be." "Who did you lose?" He asked carefully, "I lost my friend, Peter, lost my girlfriend, Mj, and I lost my best friend, Harry. I have no idea if my mom survived or not." She paused, looking at him, "What about you?"

"I lost the woman I'm dating, Hope. And her dad."

River hadn't actually really talked to anyone about losing them. She felt somewhere in the middle of feeling better about talking about it, and hating it.

"So, not to be rude, or anything... but, who are you?" Scott asked.

"River May, Rogers, either one." And because of Scott furrowing his brows, River knew he was confused, "I'm Melinda May and Steve's kid." He widened his eyes, "Do you have a superhero name?" He asked, he was excited.

"Brooklyn Fire." "Why-" She moved her fingers slightly, flames appeared.

"That, and being born in Brooklyn." She answered. "You got kids?" She asked, he nodded. "Yeah-yeah, um, Cassie. I was actually in the quantum realm before all of this for a while, and she was just a little girl. And now, she's a teenager now. So that's something." He replied.

River liked this, and at that moment, she wasn't even worrying, she felt good.

Of course, that could all change within a second, but still.

And that change would be now. Clint arrived. But, wait a second, didn't Natasha go with him? Yeah, she did- oh no.

River stood up, Scott following after her.

"Clint, where's Nat?" Bruce asked him.

River blinked, "Clint, where the hell is she?" He looked at her sadly, and you could see it in her eyes. No. No.

NO.

And now?

Well, now River had a fire burning inside of her even more so.

She just lost one of her friends, a mentor, someone who helped train her. Someone she knew since she was a little kid. Tony signed her up for this when he gave her a suit and a code name, she just needed that little push.

And she really would do whatever it took, whatever it took to save everyone.

And if hell broke loose, she would still avenge Natasha.

And that was that.

She felt a pair of arms hug her. Scott held the teenager in a comforting hug, one a dad would give.

But she made sure to not cry.

She couldn't.

River Becky May-Rogers had to finish this mission, and she had to do this.

River: *sad*
Scott: I'm gonna hug this child, I'm gonna adopt her

River is sad. That's it. She was happy, then sad. How lovely.

Okay, bye!
