Next Avengers:Next Generation

The Girl Without Fear

Running as fast as she could Elena tried her hardest to hear something of Frank's

A heartbeat, a breathe, his blood pulsing

But overall nothing, nothing close only making Elena run faster

The girl had ran so fast that Danielle and Lucy could barely keep up behind her, granted they didn't have much time to catch up as Immediately Elena raced out of the apartment without a word making them confused so it's not like they had the luxury to get ready

Grabbing their jacket and Danielle grabbing her leather jacket and scarf they ran after their friend

Elena's heart was pounding fast, fast and hard, harder than ever

'Not again, please no not again' Elena thought

She couldn't lose another parental figure to her. And out of all people Frank, he couldn't die like this. Alone, thinking she hates him. Please he just couldn't

Thump Thump Thump Thump

Elena's inner monologue was stopped when she heard a heartbeat within the city's grasp

Frank's

It was slow, getting slower by the minute making her anxious and scared. Her senses picked up even more when she saw her apartment complex in view when she came to a stop across the street

Lucy and Danielle finally caught up to Elena needing to catch their breaths as they immediately let out heavy breaths

"...next time...tell us you're about to run a mile....." Danielle barley mustard out

Elena didn't even respond as she Immediately took to running again crossing the street making the two girls groan as they followed her

Elena had hastily jumped onto the outdoor stairs of the complex, climbing as fast as she could to get to her floor as Danielle and Lucy followed 2 steps behind

BANG

A gunshot rang out sending an Immediate shiver down Elena's spine forcing her to stumble back a little

Danielle had Immediately caught her with a worried look on her face

"Elena ? what's wrong ?"

Again the girl didn't say anything as she just looked up to the last flight of stairs before hopping over the railing running up the last flight racing her apartment

Opening her window Elena was shocked to see the amount of blood and sea of bodies that filled the place

The place she called a home, the place she slept was now full of blood, death and a weak groan Elena heard making her perk up

"FRANK !" Elena cried as she saw a body move

Danielle and Lucy soon filled in the apartment acting just as shocked as her when they saw the destruction and aftermath of the fight but that wasn't the task at hand as Elena had Immediately kneeled down to the older man's level propping him up against the wall to ease himself a little

Elena wanted to hold back the tears that seeped through, But she couldn't. It was Impossible.

With the blood seeping from the corner of his lip and the stab wounds and scuff marks on his iconic white skull vest Elena's tears hailed down like a rainfall. It was even worse when she heard his heartbeat getting slower and slower by the second

Letting out a small weak and fragile cough Frank forced his best smile. Something he's never been used to doing before

"Ehh, don't waste your tears on me Red *cough.....*cough....*cough....if anything it's about time death caught up to me"
