AURORA

Natalia

As the light faded, they saw three figures standing before them and the others just running, their expressions as bewildered as the trio's.

Natasha's eyes widened as she took in her surroundings, her gaze locking onto Aurora. "Aurora?" she whispered, a mixture of shock and hope in her voice.

Aurora's breath caught in her throat, her heart pounding wildly. "Natalia?" She took a tentative step forward, then another, until she was running, colliding into Natasha's arms. "Wha- How" she murmured, tears streaming down her face. "I can touch you, I feel you, how?"

Natasha held her tightly, her own tears mingling with Aurora's. "I don't know how, but I'm here. I'm really here."

Wanda watched the reunion, a bittersweet smile on her face but a worry one too. Her gaze shifted to her brother, Pietro, who stood there with his characteristic smirk. "Looks like I missed out on a lot of the action, huh?" he quipped, moving to embrace his sister.

Wanda hugged him fiercely, her emotions overwhelming her. "I'm holding you..."

"You didn't see that coming either huh" he replied, his voice full of affection.

Tony Stark, still disoriented, glanced around. "Alright, what is going?How the hell did I end up here?Aurora you're alive?"

America stepped forward, her voice hesitant. "I think...I did this. I was trying to control my powers, and I must have accidentally brought you all back."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "Accidentally brought us back from the dead you mean? I was never dead kid, I have a child and a wife."

Aurora, still holding onto Natasha, looked over at Tony.

Natasha pulled back slightly, her eyes searching Aurora's face. "I never thought I'd see you again," she admitted softly.

Aurora cupped Natasha's face in her hands, her thumb brushing away a tear. "My Natalia. I-I can't believe it, how-. now...now we have a second chance."

Natasha leaned in, their foreheads touching. "And I'm not letting go this time."

Wanda and Pietro, standing close by, exchanged a glance filled with hope but Wanda hiding a glimpse of jealousy in her eyes. Tony, ever the pragmatist, clapped his hands together. "Alright, touching reunion aside, we need to figure out what we're dealing with here. If America's powers brought you back, that means you have a purpose? Can I go back to my family now?"

America opened a portal letting Tony go inside.
Aurora nodded, finally stepping back from Natasha but still holding her hand. "I can't risk this, I can't "

Wanda sighed listening to Aurora . "We've faced impossible odds before. We'll do it again."

Pietro grinned. "Just like old times, then?"
"Wanda no" Aurora looked at Wanda with a serious look.

Aurora looked at Wanda with a serious expression, the worry in her eyes evident. "Wanda, no. We can't risk this. I can't risk losing Natasha again."

Wanda took a deep breath, understanding Aurora's fear but also feeling the urgency of the situation. "Aurora, I get it. But we have to understand what's happening. If there's a reason for their return, we need to know what it is."

Aurora's grip on Natasha tightened, her voice pleading. "Please, Wanda. Don't agree to this. We finally have them back. I can't go through losing her again."

Natasha, standing by Aurora's side, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Aurora's right. We've been given a second chance. We can't just throw it away."

America, observing the emotional exchange, stepped forward. "Look, I know this is hard. But we have to be proactive. If my powers brought you back, there could be consequences you need to prepare for."

Pietro nodded in agreement. "She's right. We can't just sit around and hope for the best. We need to take control of this situation."

Wanda took Aurora's hand, her voice gentle but firm. "Aurora, you're not alone in this. We're all in this together. We won't let anything happen to Natasha or Pietro. We'll find a way to keep everyone safe."

Aurora shook her head, her voice breaking. "I don't want to lose her again, Wanda. I can't."

Wanda, frustrated, took a step closer. "Can I talk to you? Alone."

Aurora hesitated but nodded. She turned to Natasha, who gave her a reassuring squeeze before she and Wanda moved a little distance away from the others.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Wanda turned to Aurora, her eyes filled with hurt and confusion. "What about me, Aurora? So you just forgot about us now that you have Natasha?"

Aurora's eyes widened in shock and hurt. "No, no Wanda, that's not it. I just can't lose her again. You know how much she means to me."

Wanda crossed her arms, her expression skeptical. "I understand she's important to you, but so are we. We've been through so much together, and now it feels like you're pushing me aside."

Aurora reached out, trying to convey her sincerity. "Wanda, you mean so much to me. I haven't forgotten us, I promise. But Natasha's death broke me. I can't go through that pain again."

Wanda shook her head, not fully convinced. "Aurora, I get that you're scared, but running from this won't protect her. Ignoring the situation could make it worse."

Aurora's voice trembled with emotion. "I'm not running. I'm just... I'm terrified. If we start digging into this, what if we find out they're not meant to stay? What if they're taken away again?"

Wanda softened slightly but remained firm. "I understand your fear, Aurora. But we have to face this head-on. We owe it to them to understand what's happening. We can't live in fear of losing them again."

Aurora looked down, tears welling in her eyes. "I just want to hold onto her, Wanda. I want to believe we can have a future without this looming over us."

Wanda placed a gentle hand on Aurora's cheek, lifting her gaze. "We can have that future, Aurora. But we need to confront this together. I promise, we'll do everything we can to keep Natasha and the others safe."

Aurora took a deep breath, her resolve wavering. "Okay... okay, Wanda. We'll do this. But we have to be careful. No unnecessary risks."

Wanda nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. "We'll be careful. We'll figure this out step by step."

As they rejoined the group, Natasha immediately moved to Aurora's side, sensing the emotional toll the conversation had taken on her. She wrapped an arm around Aurora, offering silent support.

Pietro, seeing their return, raised an eyebrow. "So, what's the plan?"

Wanda spoke up, her voice steady. "We proceed carefully. We need to understand America's powers and what triggered this. But we stay together and protect each other."

Aurora nodded, her eyes meeting Natasha's. "You should stay with us tonight, if you want to"

Natasha squeezed her hand, her expression filled with appreciation " I would love to" Wanda observed their interaction disapproving it in her mind.
