Hatred Virus: A Different Ending

Escape Me

Dawn's POV:
I was heartbroken when I saw RoPo being carried to his bed. I had only woken up a few minutes prior, I'm one to get depressed and stressed at mostly anything. Though he was physically healing well, mentally I knew he suffered. To combat his fears, I went over to him and prepared a spell.

"Seeing you like this, it breaks me. All you need to do is calm down. You told me to calm down as well, now I'm telling you. Conquer your fears, it will all pass. I'm always here for you..." Slowly, his eyes opened, I became relieved yet, his eyes were not his usual light blue color. More like red and blue. It startled me. I began to believe that it was my magic or something that I did; it only lasted for a second. He awoke, relieved and calm. I took a deep breath but before I could talk, Captain America spoke. I wasn't visible to his eyes, but I was still scared. Seeing how close these two are to each other, I left them alone to talk. I stayed in the room, however, just to protect him.

Cap's POV:
It was a surprise when I saw RoPo wake up. He did suffer an anxiety attack after all, I was a little worried seeing him so calm and relaxed.

"RoPo, are you alright?"

"Umm, I think so. What happened?"

"Angel found you down a corridor and told Stark and I. You were injured below your chest but I'm sure you knew that."

"Yeah... I did..."

"You suffered an anxiety attack and were brought here so you wouldn't freak out."

"Got it. I feel like this has been a recurring problem."

"It has, Stark has gone to his lab to uncover more about this stalker of yours."

Stark!?, Said a mysterious voice I never heard off.

"What, Dawn?!" I was startled when I heard RoPo say Dawn. I don't know whose this Dawn, but I'm going to find out.

"Who's Dawn?" I knew what RoPo had said to himself, I know him all too well.

"Oh shit. Well, Dawn is a friend of mine."

"And, how did she get into the tower? You do know that there's a chance that this friend can be your stalker?! You're life could be in real danger if this person is your stalker!"

"But she isn't. Dawn is like a guardian, keeping me calm and prevent me from going crazy. Also, I think Stark might be in trouble."

"... what..."

"We need to get to the lab, quickly!" Though this could be a joke, I trusted his world and we were running to the lab. No sirens were going off, I tried contacting J.A.R.V.I.S but he wouldn't answer. This was no joke.

RoPo's POV:
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

You don't need to curse, maybe I'm overreacting. Maybe he's alright, I'm sure he's alright, I mean he's fricken Iron Man.

Still, this could be bad. We aren't taking any chances, Dawn.

I know, but it's probably fine- (Screams) We were all surprised at the suspense we saw. Blood was spilled everywhere, papers and walls were all over the place. Just after waking up from a panic attack almost made me have another one. Then, I turned to my left. I really wish I didn't.

"Holy shit! He's everywhere!" I said in a panic.

"How did this happened?!"

"You really think I have the answer to this?!" I heard crying afterwards from Dawn. She was really upset.

Dawn?

I... I couldn't save him. I knew I could, but I didn't. Dawn was accusing herself for this, horrible mess. That ain't healthy for a person's soul.

"Dawn, I know he was your favorite hero."

"What's this about a favorite hero?"

"Crap. Well, I guess there isn't much use hiding this now. (Sighs) Cap, this sus Dawn, Dawn this is Cap. He's a superhero, she's a living spirit." After my 'good' explanation on both, Dawn became more physical and Cap was able to see her. He had the same expression as I had when I met Dawn for the first time: concern and worry. Like I'd said, Dawn looks a lot like Antivort.

"Well, if RoPo says your his friend/guardian, I will trust her."

"Ok, you good about that Dawn?"

"I am on board with that agreement. I promise you Captain, I mean no harm. Like RoPo said: I'm only here for protection. Though, at times, the situation is too difficult for one soul to handle." Dawn had a sad expression on her face, I tried to tell her that this couldn't have been avoided.

"RoPo, this all could have been avoided. Though, I can't change a person's thoughts on their lives. I live in the world were it takes me, nothing more."

"Well, ok. I'll go and see if I can find AJ, I just want to... thank her for helping me," I said sarcastically. I walked out of the room, as I walked my head started to hurt.

Oh great, headache. What's this from? Aftermath of being in a panic attack?

Actually, it's because I want control.

Huh?! Oh no...

(Laughs) Oh yes, it is I RoPo, your darkest fears, your darkest night.

Why are you here? I thought I couldn't be controlled!

By her, but from me. Your little friends protection barrier doesn't protect you from your inner self. You know that I will win, no matter what.

That's a lie! You won't win! There's no way in hell!

(Laughs) You are forgetting so much of my own power. Remember, chains won't hold me forever. I'm still alive because of her, we are forever connected. There's no escaping me, RoPo.

Shut up! I will try and escape. I always have with help from my friends and family!

Where are they?

Excuse me?

Where is your motivational group when you need it? I'm pretty sure that their are all busy, not caring for you...

Ok, you need to shut your fricken mouth! He only continued to laugh. His ideas were being planted in my head. I'm trying my best to fight this orders. He won't take me again!

You imbecile, it's better on the dark side. Don't you see? No matter what you do, I will not fail. This time, there's no going back. It's all your fault.

SHUT UP!!!

(Laughs) I won't lose again...
