The Few She Left Behind (A Slymau Fanfic)

Chapter 3 (What Happened?)

Aphmau's P.O.V

As me and Thor arrive to Avengers tower, we landed on the roof. We walked towards the door and went down the elevator. I was nervous.

As the elevator doors opened, we saw the avengers sitting down and having fun, it brings back memories about me and the few.

Steve took notice and saw Thor, but didn't notice me because I was hidden behind him. As Steve walked up and greeted Thor.

"I brought a very special someone with me," Thor said as he moved aside and the avengers saw me. I waved a little and smiled.

Steve smiled and hugged me, resorting to picking me up and spinning me around. "Jessica!" he shouted and settled me down, "You've... grown!" he laughed.

I laughed slightly, Natasha, Dr. Banner and Clint walked over and greeted me, I smiled, but I didn't see Tony.

"Uhh, where's Tony?" I asked. "He's in his lab, you know always working on his suit," Clint explained. "Go on, you can surprise him." Steve smiled. I smiled back and started heading towards Tony's room.

I found Tony's room and I knocked first, I got no response and I walked in, I looked around and saw him standing at his desk working.

I smiled a little and walked behind him, I used to do this when I was little. I was behind him now, and I hugged him from behind. "Tony!" I shouted.

He jumped a little, and he recognized my voice immediately, "Jessica?!" he yelled and turned and saw me. He smiled, and hugged me, not letting go. I hugged back in response.

After a few minutes he broke the hug, he looked at me and frowned. "When did you grow up?" he asked. I smiled bright. "Since, let's see I was nine or ten when I last saw you," I said. "Now I'm twenty two, soooo." 

"Twelve years," he replied. "That's too long!" 

"How's the few? My son?" He smiled. I faked a smile, "T-they--" I started.

"Jess, I know you, I see that fake smile," He said, "What happened?" Tony was very worried at the moment.

"I told my father already, we'll tell the others." I replied. Now he was worried.

Me and Thor gathered the avengers together, "Jessica will explain what happened," Thor reassured to me. "Take your time sweetheart."

I took a deep breath. "About, over five years ago, Loki, he, threatened me to leave the few, yes yes I know, but I did it for a reason." I explained as tears started to pool into my eyes.

"That reason was, that, if I didn't leave, he would kill them, I didn't want them to die, so I left. He wanted revenge for what you all did to stop him from that event in New York." Tears now fell, I deeply missed them, I miss our adventures. I miss Sly...

I looked up and saw them with shocked expressions on their faces, Clint was worried about Castor, he was almost teary. He hadn't seen his son in years and he deeply regrets it. He thinks that he should've at least visited him once in a while.

Tony looked away, he was very upset, but he was hurt knowing that his own son was in danger, Sly. He missed his son, even though Sly left him, Tony still cared for his son's safety.

Dr. Banner/Bruce was clearly upset, almost ready to Hulk out, even though he doesn't have children of his own, he saw us, the few as his own children and would do anything to protect us.

Thor was still upset about Loki threatening his own child, he should've known that Loki would've gone for his daughter first, making her take the bait. He was mad at himself, knowing how hurt I was for leaving the people I loved.

Natasha had pure anger taken over her, she was a mother to all of us. She cared very deeply about our safety. But on the inside, she was hurt and sad, scared to think that the Few would be no more.

And Steve, he looked very hurt, Steve was the fun uncle to have around, he always cared about us and won't hesitate to hurt anyone if they put a single touch on either one of us. He was a kind and caring person, always there to protect us at any cost, like a real captain.

Tear continued to fall as Natasha walked over and hugged me, not letting go, "You should've told us sooner," she softly said.

"I-I.. I was afraid," I chocked. "I'm s-sorry." 

This resulted Natasha to hug me tighter, I cried into her shoulder.

"We're going to see the few," Tony said sternly. "Tony--" Bruce said but was cut off.

"My SON is danger right now!" Tony shouted. "I'm going with Tony," Clint said. "My son is also in danger. We need to go to the Hall. Now."

"B-but Loki..." I managed to say, Natasha let go as Tony walked over and knelled down to my height, he is 5'9 and I'm 5'3 yes I'm short.

I looked at him and he wiped my tears with his thumb, "Jess, he won't hurt them or you," he reassured. "He won't hurt you when we're around." They all nodded and I hugged Tony, he hugged back, rubbing my back. I looked at Thor and he nodded.

"As long as we're all here together, my brother Loki won't hurt you nor the Few." Thor said softly, I've never heard him this quiet before, normally he's loud and his voice is booming throughout the halls.

But, he's quiet.

Tony broke the hug, and looked at me, "We're going to the hall. And we're going to protect them, and you," he looked into my eyes. "Together."

I calmed down a little and nodded, "Okay," I replied. Tony smiled.

"Let's go to the hall," Tony said as he looked at everyone.

Steve looked at us, "Pack your things, and Suit up."
