The New Avengers

Epilogue

3rd person's P.O.V

Deanna and Bethany made their way silently through the corridors of a mansion they had been sent to. Adrienne and Loki had captured the Avengers and the two girls were the only ones able to get them back.

The teen girls found a dimly lit room, the only room unlocked in the whole house, and walked inside. A small light hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room in a very soft yellow colour. No one was in sight.

"It's a trap!" Bethany suddenly stated standing up straight. Deanna lowered her bow slightly and looked towards her dark haired friend beside her with a sigh. "Of course it's a trap Angel what did you expect?" The blonde questioned, shaking her head.

Before anyone could speak again the light became brighter and covered the whole room in white light. Around the edge of the room were all the Avengers, tied up and held by a robot each.

The robots were advanced and had guns to the Avengers heads. Each one looked worn out as they looked at their youngest members. "Guys!" Bethany exclaimed but never moving from her spot, scared it would trigger something off.

"Ah the little recruits have come to save the day!" A voice cooed making everyone look towards the far corner. Adrienne and Loki appeared from the darkness with smirks on their faces. For once they had the advantage.

"Dark Moon!" Bethany growled at her former best friend who just smirked wider at her reaction. She knew them and she knew the little things that annoyed them quickly. No one spoke as the tension in the room shot through the roof.

"You can save one of your friends here" Adrienne suddenly spoke, making everyone remember why they were there. "But it comes at a price. Only two people will walk away from this room today and who walks away depends on you.

"To save one of them you shoot their robot but the others will shoot their hostages. Also, the person who kills the robot will be killed. Angel, Mockingbird. You decide who gets out dead and who gets out alive."

Silence enveloped the room once again. Deanna turned to all the Avengers one by one. Each one looked at her with the same expression, get-out-alive-yourselves. "What happens if we just run?" The blonde asked making Beth, Adrienne and Loki look towards her.

"Well then all the Avengers die, two still leave alive" Loki shrugged. Deanna nodded in understanding as she looked at the Avengers once again. When her eyes locked with Clint a plan formed in her mind.

A familiar glint shimmered in the arches eyes, one that Deanna had developed after training with him for so long. A look of understanding was shared before Deanna rose her bow and loaded an arrow.

She fired the arrow at the robot holding Clint and the others loaded their guns. "Deanna!" Bethany hissed but it went unnoticed.

"Wait the robot isn't dead!" She exclaimed. Everyone looked towards it and true it her word it wasn't dead. The did the same to the other robots, never killing them. "What are you doing?" Adrienne questioned.

Deanna only smirked as she lowered her bow and turned to the evil pair. "Caw caw motherfuckers" She smirked before pressing a button on her bow. All the arrows reacted in sync and killed the robot they were attached to, releasing the team.

Suddenly, more robot appeared and began to attack the original Avenger. "Angel you take on Dark Moon, I've got Loki!" Deanna instructed.

"But-"

"You're stronger than me and Adrienne is the stronger one in the pair so go!" Deanna snapped, cutting off her friend before diving into a fight with Loki. Bethany sighed before turning her ex-friend and fighting.

Everyone was busy fighting in a gun shot rang out:

BANG

And stopping them all. Everyone turned towards the sound to see Loki holding a gun in front of him and Deanna staring down at her body. The next moments went by too quickly for anyone to comprehend properly. They were all frozen in shock.

Loki and Adrienne disappeared with manic laughter; all the robots shut down and Deanna fell to the floor and hit her head: hard. Everyone else snapped back to reality and ran over to the fallen girl.

When they got there the problem became clear. Crimson liquid seeped out from the centre of Deanna's torso. Her eyes were glasses but she was awake and silent. Quickly everyone jumped into action.

Bruce but pressure on the wound; Natasha called Fury; Steve and Beth stood a far, Steve comforting Beth the best he could; Thor kept an eye out for anymore robots; Tony tried to keep Deanna awake while Clint just spoke to her gently.

"Hey!" Tony called, snapping his fingers in front of the blonde girls face "Come on baby bird stay with me" Deanna didn't utter a sound it rolled her head gently to the side to face Tony. She was pale and her eyes almost lifeless.

"That was a good shot. Straight through the diaphragm." Bruce muttered trying to hold off the bleeding. Beth sobbed into Steve's arms even more at the doctors words and actions, she was slowly loosing her best friend.

"Come on baby bird!" Tony called as he suit retracted so he could kneel down closer to the girl bleeding out onto the floor.

"Come on De, come on" Clint whispered, gently stroking her hair. Their brother sister relationship had grown stronger and stronger so this was the ultimate test. Deanna squeezed Clint's hand weakly, just to let him know she was still there.

"Fury is almost here with more doctors and agents" Natasha informed everyone as she and Thor turned back to the scene, they both froze. Slowly, Deanna's reactions began to stop and her eyes began to loose their natural shimmer.

Her breathing became even more ragged than before and could be heard echoing around the room that was still littered with shut down robots. Beth completely turned away from her, not wanting to watch as her best friend took her last breaths.

The door burst open and Fury, Jamelah and several doctors and agents piled in. They doctors and Bruce quickly whisked Deanna away while everyone else helped tidy up. The original Avengers along with Beth all stood still.

"She'll be okay" Was the only thing Fury said before leading them to a separate helicopter for the first had raced away with the doctors and Deanna. No one knew what they would be faced with when they returned to S.H.E.I.L.D
