CHAPTER FOURTEEN--->

Rosalie couldn't tell you exactly how things went down, it all happened so fast, one second she was right near Yelena and Marylin, the next she was free-falling. She was convinced this was her end, watching as the rubble dropped down around her. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if she had told Natasha that she loved her. 

Or if she finally got to talk to her daughter.

But instead, she was falling. As a child, Rosalie dreamed of flying, of being some sort of superhero from a comic book. As an adult, she found that being a hero was nowhere near picture-perfect, in fact, she didn't even consider herself one.

Rosalie squeezed her eyes shut trying to ignore everything, maybe death wouldn't be so bad. By this time she had accepted her fate, that was until instead of falling she was suddenly moving upwards. 

Her brown eyes shot open spotting none other than her own daughter holding on to the other side of the parachute for dear life, the expression on her face almost said 'You're not dying before I get answers'...or maybe that was Rosalie reading too far into things.

The landing wasn't exactly smooth, Rosalie passed out part of the way down, and was now still unconscious, "Rosalie?" the teenager shook her shoulders, Rosalie's eyes fluttered open, "Marylin?" 

The teenager shook her head, "It's Viviana. Marylin is my middle name." Rosalie smiled lightly, giving a small nod. "Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?" Rosalie moved so she would be sitting up, "Give me away." 

Rosalie pressed her lips together in a thin line, "I wanted to do what was best for you, and to keep you safe. I knew I couldn't give that to you...I was still a teenager, I couldn't be a good mother. I could barely take care of myself."

Marylin glanced away from Rosalie, "And that may not be an excuse, but I thought you were safe with the Parkers." Rosalie squeezed her eyes closed for a second, hoping that somehow this would all just disappear. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry for giving you up, and for not being able to save you sooner."

Marylin was angry and hurt, but still, she fell collapsed forward into Rosalie, who wrapped her arms around the teenager. Hot tears streamed down Rosalie's face, as she murmured apologies, holding on to the girl hoping to never let go.

Marylin broke the hug apart upon spotting Yelena and Natasha, "You two alright?" Natasha asked with a small smile, "Yeah, this one saved me from plummeting to my death...it would have been very unpleasant, upon impact my aorta could've detached itself from my heart and then I'd drown in my own blood..." she trailed off seeing all the weird looks she was getting, "What? I had way too much time on my hands and photographic memory."

Yelena looked toward Natasha, "Can we keep her?" Natasha let out a small laugh, as she gently pushed her sister away, and Yelena motioned for Marylin to follow her. They distanced themselves from Natasha and Rosalie hoping to give the two women a minute.

Natasha gently reached her hand out, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure what happened while we were up there...but I'm sorry." Rosalie shook her head not taking her eyes off of Natasha's face, "I'm...I'll be ok." the brunette breathed.

"I don't wanna lose you again." Rosalie whispered, "That might sound selfish or whatever, but I really don't want to lose you." Natasha gave her a watery smile, "I'm sorry. For all of it...I was terrified of losing you that I pushed you away, and I hurt you, and-"

Natasha was cut off as Rosalie fell into her, their lips meeting in a gentle kiss. Rosalie pulled back eyes still closed as their foreheads rested against each other, "Give me a second chance?" Natasha whispered, "I'll always give you another chance," the pair pulled apart slightly hearing the others approaching.

"Everybody good?" Natasha asked, "I am clearly injured." Melina responded leaning against Alexei. "You got something to say?" Rosalie looked between Natasha and Alexei, "I'd just mess it up." he reached his arm out, and Natasha held his hand for a minute.

The sound of engines had them all looking, "Here comes the cavalry." Natasha stated, "So what's our plan?" Melina asked, "You guys go, I'll stay."

"That's insanity. We fight. We fight with you." Alexei started, "I think you mean we'll stay, Tasha." Rosalie corrected, a warning tone to her voice, there were protests from all parties, even including Marylin.

"You guys go." She waved them off, "Oh my god," Melina sighed at her stubborn daughter, "Besides if it can work out for us, you know, maybe there's some hope for the Avengers...a little bit."

"Ok, well, if you're leaving," Yelena started, pulling off her vest, "Then I guess you should take this, I know how much you like it." Natasha accepted the vest with a smile, "It does have a lot of pockets," 

"Very handy pockets." Yelena agreed, "Better watch it, Nat. I might just steal it from you." Rosalie teased, "He had widows implanted all over the world, Melina will need to copy the formula, but you should be the one to tell them it's over." Natasha handed Yelena the vial. 

Natasha and Rosalie smiled as Yelena and Marylin were reunited with the widows, "Hey," Melina alerted gaining Natasha's attention, "Take care of yourself, okay?" Natasha squeezed Melina's hand, "Don't worry, I've got this." Melina smiled, "I know."

"I'm still not leaving you here." Rosalie said crossing her arms, "Ro, I promise I'll find you...I can't have you being drug into the mess that is the Sokovia Accords." the brunette narrowed her eyes at the woman, holding out her pinky, "Pinky promise?"

Natasha chuckled accepting it, "Pinky promise." Rosie smacked her lips together, "You better make good on that promise." she warned, before jogging up to Marylin's side, the brunette smiled softly, hearing Natasha's whistle finally being returned after all these years.
