The Divide {Part 4}

6. Black And Blue

The sight of what was now her mother brought tears to Sadee's eyes. Someone so cruel and sick took her heart away from her. The rain picked up and more soldiers kept coming.

"All we have to do it find the heart!" Thor shouted. "Where the hell could it be?" yelled back Clint. "Just keep fighting them off!" Steve shouted.

Sadee was still in awe. She stood, jacket, pants, boots, and hair, drenched. Still gazing up at her mother, she realized something. "I know where it is" she whispered to herself. Sadee took off in a different direction from the others. As she headed toward the waterfall, her father met up with her at her side.

"Why are you going alone?" Peter asked. Sadee webbed up an alien's face and bashed it into a rock. "I know exactly where her heart is. It isn't gone. These aliens are part of her battle. They didn't steal her heart, they're trying to protect what she has turned into" she explained.

The two ran behind the waterfall. "I need Bucky to come meet us behind the waterfall" Sadee said into her small ear piece. While waiting for Barnes to come, Sadee noticed that the dress and crown where Audrey's tomb was, disappeared.

"This isn't good" Sadee remarked. "What isn't good?" her father asked. "Everything that was apart of mom is vanishing. Her dress and crown are gone. They were just in there" she said shockingly. "Soon it's going to be me".

Peter gulped. "Where is Barnes?" Peter shouted into his mic. "Right here" he said as he walked in, entering the cave-like location. "I need you to crush this wall. Her heart must be back there" Sadee said. Bucky's metal arm punched the wall, making it crumble to the ground. There is was, the heart. They all didn't do anything for a few seconds, standing there in awe.

"Well?" Bucky questioned, "who is going to take it?". Sadee slowly walked toward it, "I will" she said. "But Sadee-" Peter said, attempting to stop her but Bucky grabbed him. Sadee took the small heart-shaped stone lying under rubble into her small hand. The light of the stone was fading. "We have to hurry" Sadee said. "Lead the way" Thor said.

Sadee powerfully walked out of the cave and into the darkness, the scene of guardians being destroyed by the Avengers in the pouring rain. The wind became more forceful. Sadee stood her ground and raised her arm, the stone shining a single beam of light on to the horrific object that was her mother. She screamed so terribly loud, causing every single one of the guardians to collapse to the ground, dead.

All the Avengers stopped in their tracks. "It's me" Sadee yelled, "It's Sadee". Her mother roared in response and clawed her way in Sadee's direction. "Shit!" Peter yelled, "What do we do!". Thor shook his head, "Nothing". Sadee still stood her ground while the fearful ghost came her way. "Mother, it's Sadee" she said. At this moment, the ghost was in her face, her large, large face blowing dust into Sadee's face.

Sadee laid her hand gently on the forehead on the object. "It's Sadee" she said once again, then rested her forehead against her mother's. Sadee carefully placed the heart in the empty spot on her chest. All of the guardians vanished. The wind blew violently. And there it appeared, her long black way locks, her fair skin, her white cloak, her golden, knee-high sandals, and her crown placed beautifully on her head.

Peter was speechless. There the two most important girls in his life, were floating, hand-in-hand, forehead against forehead. Audrey's fainted figure amazed him. "Sadee" Audrey said quietly. "Mother" Sadee replied, a tear trickling down her cheek.

Audrey turned her head toward down toward the group. She kept on holding Sadee's hand as they slowly made their way to the ground. Audrey walked toward Peter, his eyes completely full of happiness. "Peter" she said, voice so kind. "Audrey" he replied, a small tear running down his face,

"Shh" she muttered, "do not cry". Audrey placed a hand on Peter's cheek. The touch of her felt tingly, like kisses from a firefly. "It's been so long" Peter whispered, forcefully trying to hold back his emotions. "I know, dear" Audrey said pulling away.

Peter looked over at Sadee who was lovingly watching her parents meet for the first time in her very own eyes. "I could not bear to see you alone" Audrey said. Peter shook his head, "Thank you" he said beaming, "she is precious".

"As a princess, and with the help of my mother, Diana, we together made her from clay" Audrey explained. "For I wanted her to have some of your abilities, I sent a message through a pattern in the stars to Mr. Stark to tell him that I wanted a little bit of you to add to her". Peter still stared at his daughter. "So what did she get from you?" Peter asked.

Audrey smiled. "Nothing" she replied "I only made her. But she can sense when I am in danger, or when I need to talk to her, we communicate through our minds. Almost like telekinesis". Peter looked confused. "But do not worry, she ages just like a regular human being". Peter nodded his head, now turning his attention to Audrey.

He looked at Audrey and grinned. Peter reached his hand out to touch her hand. The moment that their hands touched each other, put everyone in amazement. Audrey, her ghost-like figure now turning human. Their foreheads touched gently against one another. The brightest smiles now framed on their faces.

Peter could feel realness of her skin. He moved a piece of her hair away from her face, it was so incredibly soft. Audrey's blue eyes looked into Peter's brown ones. "I have missed you so much" Peter whispered and dipped down to lock his lips to hers. At that very moment, everything that was so dark and sorrowful, now grew into a garden of rehabilitation.

Audrey was the heart of Asgard. And everything within in it relied on her. From the small tulips to the calm water, it was all cloudless because of her. Now she stood with the boy who was now a man. A man that would stick with, and has stuck with her since the first day they met. A man that sees nothing but good things in her, and accepts the bad things.

A man that has shown his courage and his responsibility. A father, a hero, and a significant other. Peter never knew what being unselfish was like until that little girl, and the stunning woman standing in front of him, walked in to his life. He was no longer an immature child in the mind. He now knows what his priorities are, and how to keep them on track.

Audrey was the one, the one that Peter knew he would be completely in love with every single day of his life. He sat on the rooftop of the Avengers tower and talked to her, imagined that she was right there next to him, holding her hand. He thought of the letters that he wrote to her and have them to Thor when he would often visit.

"Did you get my letters?" Peter asked her.

"Yes" she replied.

"Every-" Peter started,

"One-hundred and twenty-seven of them" she nodded, smiling softly.

Peter looked into her incredible blue eyes and dipped down to lightly kiss her once again. To him, the world always seemed divided without her, but now, they were both at peace.
