Chapter 13: Falling... Paralyzed... Fragile/ The Death of A Warrior

Third Person POV-
Falling....such a weird sensation.
Paralyzed....why can't she move.
Fragile....like expensive china.

Then darkness.

Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their youngest member who had supposedly died during the Civil War in Germany.

Though no one knows what we do. She is very much alive just trapped in another universe. Everyone was dressed in black and gold tears wee falling as where roses.

The decorated her burial sight. Fury watched from the safety of a tree he to mourned his youngest daughter. To him it seemed his world was falling apart.

First his eye which he could live with. Then S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed. Let's not forget that the one and only love of his died to leukemia cancer. His oldest daughter has disappeared. Then the news came about Raven.

Well he had seen the news. All forms of the media were trying to cover the story like it was a race. Raven's death seemed to be in the center of it.

If you didn't know in two days then you must've lived under a rock. Videos were posted on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and of course other forms of social media.

Everyone is going crazy because the youngest member of The Avengers is now deceased. To them it was just one big news story. But not to him or to anyone else that really knew her. They were mourning her crying over her.

It's just sad that she had to leave with her family broken and torn apart.

The media didn't care about her when she was alive why now?

It's funny when you die people start listening.

The death of a warrior.

Her hostile, anti-social, and sarcastic personality tugged at everyone's hearts. Well everyone who took the time to know her.

Somewhere in Queens Peter Parker is watching the news coverage of what happened in Germany.

"It appears that the one people are now calling "Archangel" died during what people are now referring to as "The Civil War". Which is basically a brawl between the Avengers in which they were divided in two teams. Tributes are being made to the girl in thanks for her sacrifice." The news anchor announced.

May Parker then turned the television off patting Peters back. "It's sad ain't it. That little girl died over something that probably could've been solved in more civilized ways. With less casualties." May stated shaking her head. But she doesn't know the situation like Peter does.

But Peter shakes his head. "Your probably right but then again we don't know the whole situation." Peter said. May just sighs.

At the Avengers base Rhodey sits looking at a picture on the wall to his left. It was from when he first visited the compound. Stark insisted that they got one good selfie with it incase it were to end up like the aftermath of Stark tower.

In the picture Steve had his hand around Elli's waist both of them smiling. Clint and Natasha doing the same. Tony stood with his phone and selfie stick in the front. Wanda was on Pietro's back as they both smiled. Vision was standing on the right side of the twins looking up at the phone rather curiously. He was next to Raven who was actually smiling.

Her smile made her eyes squint a little. Her smile was bright and beautiful.
It was the first time anyone had seen
her smile aside from her parents.

Of course no one said anything to her face about it but they were all surprised by the action. Natasha said it was the first time she had smiled since the Budapest incident.

Everyone got a copy of the picture. It was the only group picture they got with everyone in it.

He had a great debt towards the girl because if she hadn't pushed him away the hit would've been even worse.

Somewhere in India Steve pulled out the same picture mentioned earlier. He looked over everyone's faces but stopped over the young girl's face.

Her smile was so bright you were immediately drawn to it. He sighed feeling bad for her death. He had seen videos from YouTube on her death. Some even in Slow-motion. He couldn't get over the fact that the youngest member of the Avengers had perished and at the hand of a teammate at that.

"You ok?" Audrey asked him walking into the room. They decided it would be best if they stayed together. "Yeah just mourning."

Clint sat at a bar in Kansas. Since his family was torn apart he had pretty much nothing to live for. So here he was downing two and a half glasses of Whiskey scrolling through the gallery on his phone.

He hit a picture of when Raven was getting her uniform. She customized it to match her personality the colors hood and cloak all being apart of that.

She really did look like a Warrior in that picture. He let a tear slip down his skin out of his left eye.

Elli held Natasha as Natasha cried into her shoulder. She was clutching a bottle of Vodka in her left hand as muffled sobs racked her body. She missed her husband she missed her baby girl she missed her family.

Elli looked over to the nightstand. On it was a letter addressed to her by Raven after the Age of Ultron catastrophe. She had been holding on to it all this time unsure when to open it.

But she decided now was the time she couldn't wait any longer. Not letting go of her friend she grabbed the letter ripping it open.

Dear Elli,

I know this is gonna sound crazy but we're sisters. I don't know any other way to put it.

Sorry you had to find out this way.

Sincerely,
Raven.

Elli was shocked. When Natasha's crying had let up some she decided to ask about. "She wanted to tell you herself. But..." She trailed off taking a dip out of the bottle of Vodka. Then she started to breakdown Elli along with her.

Vision sat in his room at the Avengers compound staring at his hands. Why couldn't he control it. If he had Rhodey wouldn't be partially immobile and Raven wouldn't be dead.

He looked to the television in his room. The news blaring through the speakers.

He had replayed the part where they caught the exact moment he killed her. Her scream could be heard even from a distance.

The death of a Warrior.
~*~*~*~*~*~
T'Challa felt deep sorrow upon seeing the girl die. Just because he didn't know her doesn't mean he's heartless. He had even held a special service for her in Wakanda. Everyone attended the service to mourn the young girl who had lost her life during battle.

Tony was walking in the garden at the Compound. He thought of the piece of cloth he held in his hands after she died. He didn't she the beam go though her but he did hear her screams echo in the background.

Frowning he walked back inside.

The death of a Warrior.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Wanda sat in her apartment in San Diego. She had mourned everyday since it happened. Raven was a little sister to her. Seeing and hearing her die was almost like when she lost Pietro.

Now she sits heartbroken again but this time with no one to comfort her.

She asks herself how she'll make it though. But she just quotes something she once heard Raven sing.

'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight'

The death of a Warrior.
~*~*~*~*~*~

The sad part is since their all scattered across the globe they can't be there for one another to comfort each other....
