Newt POV
"We should look for Lilly, see if she's hiding somewhere around the compound." I told Thomas while brushing Aurora's hair away from her face.

"Newt, if Lilly was here Aurora wouldn't have fainted," he explained. "And the clothes in her room wouldn't be gone!"

I nodded. Thomas obviously cared a lot for Lilly and Aurora and I did as well. Thomas ran a hand through his hair and sat down on the beanbag in the corner of the room.

"What have I done," I mumbled but Thomas heard me.

"Nothing, you didn't do anything," Thomas said. "Lilly probably just needed some away time, that's all."

I looked over at him and shook my head.

"I know your just saying that to make me feel better but I know this was my fault. If I hadn't made Aurora walk by herself or gotten into a fight with you or punched you after you beat me up or told Aurora to let the devil out, this would never have happened. I am so sorry," I explained.

Thomas looked at me with anger in his eyes, but somehow I could tell he was trying to control it. I broke eye contact with him and looked down at my girlfriend. Her cheeks her a rosy pink and she was breathing heavily.

"Tommy?" I asked.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Is this unnatural? I mean she is a supernatural being, but does she look ok to you?" I inquired.

He got up and walked over to look down at Aurora. He tilted his head and reached to her lace his hand on her forehead, only to whip it back and clutch it with his other hand.

"She's hot!" Thomas said.

"Yes thank you for pointing out one of the many features of my girlfriend, but is she ok?" I snapped.

"No I mean she's burning up!" He snapped back, showing his bright red hand.

His hand looked like he'd just dipped it in lava and washed it off. I turned back to Aura. She did look like she was starting to sweat. I slowly placed a hand over her forehead and sure enough there was heat hitting my hand, I put my hand on my head only to do the same as Thomas.

"Get Tony!" I yelled.

Thomas ran out the room and came back a few minutes later, followed by Tony, Bruce and Nat.

"What happened kid?" Tony asked.

"She fainted and now she's burning up, breathing heavily, sweating and her cheeks are a rosy pink." I explained quickly, moving away from Aurora so they could see her.

"Banner get the tank, Natasha get the ice, you, Thomas, get as much water as you can and Newt stay here with her." Tony explained running out.

I turned back to my girlfriend and ran my hands through my hair. I started pacing in front of the bed when everyone came back. Bruce set up the tub which looked more like a tank and Nat poured all the ice in while Thomas poured all the water. Tony attached a heart monitor to Aura and used his suit to quickly pick her up and chuck her in.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" I yelled running over to the tank.

"Relax," Tony said tearing off his melted suit. "It will cool her down and possibly wake her up."

"Possibly?!" I yelled.

He nodded. "There's a chance she could have put herself in a coma, but it's unlikely."

I glared at him shocked before turning to face my unconscious girlfriend. Then the heart monitor started beeping like crazy and Bruce ran over to it.

"What's happening to my girlfriend?!" I yelled again.

"Relax! Her bodies just getting used to the temperature," Bruce said while pressing some buttons.

"Uhhhhh, what's happening to the water?" Thomas asked.

It was then I realised the water at the top of the tank was starting to freeze over, trapping Aurora inside.

"It must be to cold," Nat exclaimed running over to the bed and grabbing a knife from under Aurora's pillow.

I made a mental reminder to question her about why she has a knife under her pillow later but for now I was just worrying about my trapped girlfriend.

"No!" Tony yelled, stopping Nat from smashing the ice. "She'll be fine, she'll smash the ice when she's ready."

I glanced worriedly at Aura. She looked so peaceful, despite being underwater and trapped there as well. All of a sudden the monitor started beeping like crazy again and Aurora started thrashing her body around.

"Stark I swear if my girlfriend is not ok by the end of this, I will KILL you!" I yelled at him going over to the tank and placing a hand on it.

My hand was freezing but I didn't care. All that mattered at that moment was Aurora. She was my angel and I wasn't going to lose her.

Aurora POV
Coldness. That's all I felt. I was cold and I couldn't open my eyes or breath, so I went for my first instinct and thrashed my body in all directions, hoping someone was around to help me. I heard mumbling and felt a warm hand press against the thing trapping me. I forced my eyes open a bit. It was just enough to see the ice at the top of the tank. I pushed off the bottom and soon enough the front of my body pressed against the ice. I pulled a knife from my bra and pierced it through the ice, making it break and allow me to come up for air. I grabbed the outside of the tank and gasped for air. As I grabbed the other side of the tank in attempt to pull myself further into the warm air, I felt a warm hand grab onto my arm and pull me towards the person. My sight adjusted just as Newt grabbed onto my other arm.

"Newtie?" I croaked.

"Oh thank goodness your ok," he mumbled putting his arms under mine and hauled me out of the ice water and onto the solid floor.

I coughed and moved onto my hands and knees as Newt wrapped a nearby towel around me.

"Th-thanks," I stuttered.

I looked up at Newt and he chuckled.

"What?" I asked.

"You look extremely cute right now," he started, making me blush a bit.

"How?" I questioned.

"Your nose is slightly red, your hair is stuck around your face because it's wet and you lips are a bit purple which, despite you being cold and it not being good for you, I find it adorable," he explained.

All of a sudden Wanda ran in.

"Lilly's on the news!" She shouted before running out.

Newt picked me up bridal style and ran me downstairs to the TV and placed me on the couch. Sure enough Lilly was on TV.

"-Lilly was last seen at the avengers compound but has not been seen since," The reporter stated.

I choked back tears as some trickled down my face and Newt comforted me by bringing me into a hug, rubbing my back and allowing me to cry harder on his shoulder. Thomas looked distraught and I shook as more and more tears streamed down my face.

"We will find her." Tony promised. "I promise."
