You were setting up the bombs as your hard drive backed up the information. The avengers minus Bruce were taking down yet again another Hydra bunker. Usually all the information was already deleted by the time they got inside but some sloppy agents had left a lot of data.

You heard the ding that indicated the data had been uploaded and grabbed the drive. You felt cold metal press against the back of your head.

"Put the drive down."

"You know I can't do that."

The gun pressed harder against you. "Then I'll just kill you and take the drive." The agent let out a sick laugh.

Your coms were off because they had been interfering with the bombs. You took a deep breath and kicked the man in the leg. His grip on the gun loosened but the trigger still went off twice. It hit your stomach and your leg, you took out your own gun and shot him.

He was dead, you slid down the wall and activated your coms. "Tony, the bombs are in place and there are more agents coming. Blow it up."

"Absolutely not, get out of that building."

"I'm about to, just blow it up." You lied partially.

"Y/n?" Natasha's voice crackled through the earpiece.

Her voice was what motivated you to slowly itch yourself off of the floor, leaving a pool of almost black blood. You needed to say good bye to her.

You inhaled and took a step then did it again and again.

You didn't register Tony saying something about 10 seconds. Just barely out of the door, everything blew up. You were thrown forward as a piece of debris hit you.

You whispered a sorry and blacked out.

"Y/n! Y/n!" The voice was panicked. Some one picked you up and let out a gasp when they saw all the blood.

Opening your eyes with effort, you focused on the green ones staring back at you.

"Just, just hold on alright?

Somehow you made it onto the quinjet, you were laid down on a surface.

"Bruce, you have to help her."

"Natasha, I don't have the right tools. I can try to stop the bleeding but that's not going to do much."

You opened your eyes slowly, Natasha was crying. "It's okay." Your voice was scratchy, you coughed and some blood trickled out

"I can't live without you." She placed her hand in yours.

"Live, Natasha, live for me." Natasha was shaking her head, sobbing now.

"I love you."

"I love you t-" You broke into a fit of coughing and lost consciousness.

...

You opened your eyes, you were laying against soft grass. You sat up, your injuries were gone and you were in a pink chiton. You spotted a woman by a tree.

"Hey, where are we?"

The woman let out a chuckle. You looked around and furrowed your eyebrows. It was odd as if the sky split into two different ones completely. "My name is Hecate." She turned around, her eyes were golden and there was light coming from within her body, wanting to be let out.

"You're the goddess of crossroads. Does that mean I'm dead?"

"No, it means you are at a crossroad and you have three ways to go."

"I think you are delusional, get me out of here!"

The goddess ignored you and went on. "One, you could simply let go. In your life, you are currently flatlining. Join death," She looked off to one portion of the separate skies. It was pitch black and there was nothing for miles. "It's peaceful because there is nothing."

Then she looked to the other portion, in the distance you saw a beautiful cabin. "Y/n, hurry up love, everyone is almost here." Your redhead smiled at you.

"Natasha?" You took a step forward but Hecate held you back.

"Nuh uh, not yet. That's Natasha, but it's more complicated than that. You see many people can't deal with the nothingness of death, so they stay here."

" I thought Elysium can only be found after death."

"That's not a path you can take right now. What you can do, is stay here in this ideal world of your subconscious."

"It's a dream."

"Hm, more like a libido. You live here while you wait for your Natasha to join you. When she does, both of you will be at another crossroads."

"Oh."

"Well which do you choose?"

"I choose- wait you said three options, you've only shown me two."

Hecate said nothing but she looked off to the side. There you saw what you had missed before. You were laying on a hospital bed, multiple tubes and wires attached to you. Natasha, your Natasha, sat by your side sobbing, begging you not to leave her.

"I choose that, there with her, my life."

"So you do, we shall meet again."

"Wait, you have to put me there."

Hecate shook her head, "That is still up to you," with that she vanished.

You felt an agonizing pain take over your entire body and you dropped to your knees. Your injuries were back. You understood what getting back entailed. So you crawled and when you could not any longer, you dragged yourself through the fields back to Natasha.

You finally reached where the door way and inched your way through.

...

beep. beep. beep.

Natasha looked up at the impossible. Your heart monitor was on again. You were alive.
