The mission is simple, kill him..He escaped their control and he has to pay for that. They send in their best assassin to do the job, but what happens when things don't go as planned?
Will they complete the mission?
It didn't feel right to be drinking and partying while Aurora was lost and alone out there somewhere. Yet here we are. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.. Tony was the centre of attention, he and Pepper glided around the room, greeting his guests and chatting with them. He wore a black suit with a white shirt and a bow tie while pepper had opted for a silver dress, it complimented her well. Everyone was dressed to impress, Wanda and Natasha had bullied me into wearing something other than combats, thankfully they gave in and agreed that the jeans were fine as long as I wore the black ones and put on a suit jacket. I felt ridiculous. I turned my back on Tony. How could he do that so easily? A week ago he found out his sister was alive and now she was missing and he was acting as if everything was great. It pissed me off. I downed the last of my beer and reached across the bar for another, I couldn't get drunk but it served as an adequate distraction, a hand slapped my shoulder and I turned to see Sam and Steve. "Having fun?" Steve asked with a smile, he knew the answer already. I forced a smile for a moment. "This isn't right, we should be out there looking for her. " I grumbled, popping open the bottle of beer. "Cmon buck! It's a party. Live a little." Sam rolled his eyes. Why didn't they care? The three of us chatted for a bit longer before Steve excused himself to go chat to Nat. "They're totally banging." Sam laughed as Steve slid into the seat beside Nat, who leaned closer to him, a smile on her lips. "What? No..." How did I not see it before? The way they looked at each other, it was clear there was something going on. Natasha looked beautiful tonight, well she always looked beautiful but today was different. She wore a black and white dress that looked like it came from the 40s.. did she do that for Steve? I frowned at the thought. "Holy shit.." Sam's sudden outburst pulled me from my thoughts, I looked to him but he was just staring at the door with his mouth open. I followed his gaze and almost dropped my beer. "Holy shit..." I echoed his words.

Auroras POV
I had been keeping an eye on the Avengers since my dramatic death and decided that tonight would be the perfect time to make my return. A party was fucking ridiculous, how dare they celebrate instead of mourning my death? Anger seared through my body but that sweet, cool feeling quickly overtook it as a soft voice echoed in my mind. Remember our plan, love. I shivered as a chill swept down my spine. Smoothing out my silk dress I pushed open the doors and walked inside. Silence descended immediately as all eyes fell to me. I swept into the room as if I owned the place, well I am a Stark after all.. or so they say. No one seemed to move or even breathe then suddenly everyone seemed to move all at once. Tony abandoned Pepper and rushed to me, Steve just behind him. I came to a stop as the two of them blocked my path. "I.. we.. I..." Tony stuttered out causing me to laugh softly. I raised my right hand and lightly patted his chest. "Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, dear brother." I smile at his reaction to my words. His eyes widened slightly and he began to stutter out something else but I had moved past him to Steve. "Hello handsome. Miss me?" I teased, grinning at Steve. He didn't say anything, his eyes running up and down me, I wasn't certain whether he was checking for injuries or just checking me out, regardless I enjoyed his eyes on me. "See something you like?" I murmured playfully, his cheeks flushed with colour and he quickly composed himself. "I.. I'm glad you're alright. We were worried." I raise a brow. "Yes, so worried that you threw a party. You all see distraught. Excuse me, I would like a drink." I swept past him and headed to the bar.
Tony and Steve stared after me in confusion. "Find out what happened to her, F.R.I.D.A.Y " Tony spoke quietly and he and Steve went their separate ways. The party resumed as I took a seat at the bar. I could feel eyes on me and despite the urge to look, I held off, I ordered a sex on the beach cocktail, simply because it amused me to see the young bartender get flustered at the words. Once he placed it in front of me I wrapped my hand around the glass, my fingers gliding over his briefly. He practically jumped out of his skin. How fun. It wasn't long before Sam and Bucky approached me from the other side of the bar, Bucky looked confused, angry and relieved all at once, honestly it was a bizarre expression. "Hello boys." I sip at my cocktail with a smile. Sam grins "You're looking good, Ro. Green suits you." I wink at him and reply. "What can I say, I'm getting in touch with my mischievous side.." Sam and I banter for a little bit before he excuses himself, leaving me alone with Bucky. "Cat got your tongue, Buck?" I finish my cocktail and put the glass on the bar. "If you're not going to talk then at least come dance with me."
I didn't bother giving him a chance to respond, I grabbed his hand and led him out to the dancefloor. The song was slow and intimate, Natasha and Steve were dancing alongside Pepper and Tony, as Buck and I joined them Wanda and Vision also stepped onto the dancefloor. It was nice. For a moment. Buckys arm slipped around my waist, drawing me in close, his eyes were fixed on my face, studying me. "I thought you were dead." He said eventually. "I don't want to talk about this now.." I sigh, raising my hand from his shoulder to lightly caress his cheek, he leans into my touch.. this soft side of him almost makes me regret what's about to happen.
The glass windows shatter as a high pitched ringing echoes through the room. Everyone cries out and covers their ears, but not me. Instead I pull out my purse and remove a syringe from it. In one quick motion I inject the liquid into Bucks neck. He cries out, Steve leaps towards me but is intercepted by a blast of blue energy.
"The God has arrived!" Loki declared with a gleeful laugh as he entered the room. I step over Bucky's body and move to stand beside Loki.
