Y/N's POV

A wave of guilt washes over me, Clint was a father, like me. Who not also lost his lover but his kids too... now he wasn't going to be able to see his family grow, and they are going to have to come back to see that Clint is no longer with us.

But he was a brave soldier, and Avenger, he truly believed in the right thing and gave his life for half the universe that we're about to bring.

The original five Avengers along with me were outside of the compound on a lakeside deck.

I was wearing a white tank top and some brown pants, looking down as we all mourned the loss of a colleague.

Tony: What do we tell his family?

Steve: The truth.

Thor: What?

The Asgardian gets up, scoffing in disbelief as he approaches Tony.

Tony: I just asked him a question.

Thor: No, you're acting like he's dead. Why are we acting like he's dead? We have the stones right? As long as we have the stones Cap, we can bring him back alright so stop this shit we're the Avengers get it together!

He grits out before Natasha simply replies, in a low whisper like tone. She was the most closest to Clint, maybe the only two in this team who were genuinely close.

Natasha: We can't get him back.

Thor: What?

Natasha: It can't be undone, Thor.

Thor starts to laugh insensitively, he obviously hasn't had much time with the members of the team to feel bad, he's always on his own journey.

Thor: No offense, Natasha. But you're a very earthly being okay? We're talking about space magic here-

Natasha: Are you not listening to me?! I said we can't bring him back, the stone keeper said you had to trade a life for a stone... it- it should've been me.

She snapped before breaking into tears, my heart ached at her saying it should've been her. I instantly came to aid her, holding her close as her knees buckled to the ground.
