The Gen-Z Avenger| Book 2

11| The 11 O'Clock Nightmare

*4 years prior*

They woke up to peace.

The air around them felt calm, relaxed. By ten o'clock the morning after I had shot into the stars, there was a sense of calm and peace,

The scholars would call it the calm before the storm.

Nobody had come in or out of my bedroom since my departure, except up to this point, nobody even knew I was gone. They all believed Wanda and I were sound asleep and would rise eventually.

They all thought wrong.

After Steven Grant Rogers had finished his morning workout, lasting almost four hours might I add, he arrived to meet Tony in three kitchens for some coffee.

"It's weird.." Tony said, pouring a cup for himself.

"What's weird?" Steve asked.

"I don't know, there's a feeling. I can't place what it's is it's just, it's weird.." He said, handing the pot to Steve.

"You're probably just stressed, everything's gonna fine.." He said, pouring himself a cup.

The nightmare would begin at 11 o'clock.

The night before, I made the video that would end up breaking the internet. The video was scheduled to be sent to every device in the tower and to be released on all my social media platforms at 11 o'clock in the morning after.

The 11 o'clock nightmare.

For the next fourth minutes, there was calm, quiet, peace. Nobody questioned anything, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Until the ding of the notifications played throughout the building.

"What the fuck.." Nat muttered, seeing the name of what appeared.

"Mr Stark, Y/N has sent out a video, would you like to play it?" Jarvis announced to the room, every Avenger entering the living area, none sure of what they were about to see.

"Yeah Jarvis play it, play it now!" Tony yelled out in worry, looking to the screen.

Before them, they saw yours truly, red eyes from tears and Wanda's sweater on.

I don't think they were prepared.

"My name is Y/N Sta-"

I paused, I'm not a fucking Stark anymore.

"My name is Y/N, just Y/N, like Beyoncé or some shit like that. I am 18 years of age as of three days ago and two of my fathers plotted to murder me. There is a bomb, It's in my neck, I think it was put in there after I was shot over 4 years ago. They were gonna kill me.."

The room fell silent, Nat gasped throwing her hand to her mouth and the rest of the room feeling full horror.

"The time is um, 10:16 pm and in a few minutes, Wanda and I are leaving. We are going as far away as we can and not looking back. Who knows if we'll ever come back. Why should we? Because at this moment I feel like an item. They were my parents, I thought they loved me. They were gonna kill me and I looked up to them. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, murders.." I spoke on the video, crying my eyes out at this point.

With name drop, the rooms desperate silence became so much worse. The disbelief was too much, it was too much pain.

"I um, I got into a file, which explained about the microchip in my neck. My life was worth a button push and it's a risk my fathers were willing to take to benefit themselves. I love my dads, it's hard for me not to love my dads even though they wanna kill me. There my dads. Please, please understand why I'm gone. Because that's what's been done, I left. Because I was a dead woman walking.."

I took a pause, taking it to cry because all I could do at that moment was cry. Everyone in that room looked to Steve and Tony in disbelief, not knowing it would happen.

"So I'm gonna take Tony's spaceship and who knows when you'll see me. Maybe you won't. I just had to say my peace, I had to give a reason. I don't know if it's just Tony and Steve behind it all, maybe there are others in on it too. But I love you all, please someone slap them in the face for me but above all remember, I may be gone but my impact will never be forgotten.." I finished, the video cutting off and I said so.

Immediately, Bucky charged towards Steve, nobody making any effort to stop it.

"I have a good mind to tear you to shreds, I want to kill you! You tried to kill my daughter!" Bucky screamed in his face, pinning him against the wall as he watched Nat get off the chair and walk towards Tony.

"You bastard.." She said in the calmest tone she could, slapping him across the face.

She then moved to her boyfriend, Bucky let go of him, allowing Nat to decide what was best.

"To think I was going to marry your sick ass.." She said, kicking where the sun doesn't shine, "You murdered my girl.." She spoke, turning and leaving the room.

They said nothing at all, both walking out of the room and carrying their sins behind them. Steve rushed to Tony's office and took out the shiny button that would end it all, taking it and handing it to Tony.

"This was in the plan, we said we would hit this and stop a tragedy.." Steve said, not being sure of it.

"She's our little girl Steve, she's our girl.." Tony said on the verge of tears.

"She's our girl but she could come back and kill us. This was what we promised ourselves we would do. That we wouldn't let emotions get in our way. This wasn't an easy choice to make.." Steve argued back, about to lose it himself,

"I can't kill my daughter Steve! I can't kill my child! This was just a fail-safe that we thought we would never have to do!" Tony yelled, pushing the button back at him.

"I can't kill her either?! I don't want to kill her!" He yelled.

In the mix of chaos between the pair, the button went head first and bounced off the floor.

Being successfully pushed.

The tears fell, hearts broken. They thought they had killed their kid and both decided to never breathe a word about it, to anyone.

But when the word got out to the entire world, the Avengers were seen in a different light.

Twitter made sure of it.
