Whatever It Takes

~ 13 ~

Third Person POV
While Thea was returning the stones, Strange had other matters to deal with. There were supposed to be children of the original six and a few more. That was how destiny was supposed to be.

So he fixed that by making a special night for al of them before infinity war. And some had to wait after infinity war. Which was really confusing for him sometimes.

After everyone has had at least one child, he had to show Thor something. "Yes, wizard?" The father was carrying twin girls, both of them playing with something. Thor looked exhausted.

"It's Strange, and I think there's something you'll want to see."

"Can't...you see...I'm a bit...busy," Thor tried to watch both of them, but one ended up throwing an acorn at the other one. "Echo?! How in the world did you even get that in the house? I told you, no planting, summoning, or making things in this house."

Strange nearly laughed as the other twin made the water out of a fish tank nearby get all over her father, "Leanne! You too!"

"Well, it's your brother."

"My brother's been dead for three years," Thor explained.

"No, he hasn't."

Thor turned, "What?"

Strange made a portal to the New Asgard that Loki had been building during all this chaos. Thor grabbed his daughters and they walked through.

"Castiel! Casti-" The god stopped what he was doing and saw his brother with his daughters standing their gawking at him. "Oh," he chuckled nervously, "Hello, brother."

Thor has been so overwhelmed with happiness, that he engulfed his brother with a hug. Loki hugged back and Strange awkwardly watched the girls on the floor.

Then a pop was heard. Strange saw this baby/toddler, partially green with dark hair like his father. The baby crawled towards the twins. They all looked to each other. Then the little green toddler, clapped his hands. This caused a blue flower to sprout from the concrete floor. The two twins tried to touch the flower. That didn't happen though because Castiel made the flower die by touching it.

The youngest twin, Echo, screamed so loud. The brothers stopped hugging and turned to see that Leanne was smacking Castiel. They smirked and shook their heads.

"Castiel," Loki spoke. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you since twelve!" He picked up his replica. "I apologize. He takes after me."

"I can tell," Thor picked up his daughters and laughed. "My daughters take after me too."

"Trust me," he smiled. "I noticed."

"So this is what you've been doing this entire time? Rebuilding this place?" Thor asked.

"Yeah," he looked around. "It's not finished and not livable for normal citizens of Asgard, but it's getting there."

"When will it be finished?"

"Within a few years," Loki promised.

"Then we'll be able to rule together."

"Really?" Loki asked.

"Yep," he nodded. "You said the sun would shine on us again and it has. But for now, we have to go back home. Mom will get angry if we don't get back soon."

"Alright brother," Loki nodded. "Till we meet again."

Thea landed on that planet. The hid herself behind the rock. She peered over. Peter Quill was still passed out. She sighed and walked over to the open temple. She glanced through it, "Shouldn't there be booby traps?"

She took small steps forward. Nothing happened. She held out the purple gem. It floated over towards the circular pedestal surrounded with a forcefield. She nodded, "Good."

She heard rustling behind her. Quill was beginning to get up. She suited up and traveled elsewhere.

It was eerie and she didn't like it. The sky was gray and a dark blue. The ground was grey. Everything just seemed dead.

Right as this guy was trying to leave, Thea came up, "Where are you going?"

He groaned, "Theadora Stark, daughter of Tony Stark. Your father was a very stubborn man, and I can only guess you are too. What do you want?"

She held out the stone for him to see, "Soul for a soul. That's your deal with people right?"

He groaned, "Okay, I see what you're doing."

"Give me Natasha Romanov with her body and soul next to me, and you may have your stone."

Red Skull waved his arm, and just like that, she was next to Thea. A blue light flashed. They heard a gasp and coughing that was coming from Natasha. Thea handed him the soul stone.

She put one of those hand suits onto Natasha. Nat opened her eyes, "Who...Who are you? Where are we? Where's Clint?"

"Stop asking questions. You're going home and you're alive and well. They'll tell you everything," Thea reassured her. She sent her back. Then she traveled back herself.

Thea arrived back to New York City. The fight just happened to be getting over. She transported in the bathroom of the building she was hopefully supposed to be in. She I did her suit and stepped out. Nobody was in there but her.

She left the bathroom. There were a few security guards but they didn't ask me any questions. She was going to take the elevator up the stairs but found that it was too full. She open the door to the stairs. Nobody. So she ran up the stairs.

She got to the floor she needed and opened the door. A huge, green monster was standing there. She took a huge gulp. He looked at her, "What you doing up here?"

She zipped underneath him and ran into the room. Clint was really the only one left besides some of the agents. He watched as she came in  but didn't say anything. She opened up one of the cases. It was empty so she placed the last's stone in there.

She closed and tried to get out before anyone saw her. Clint grabbed her arm, "Hey, what'd you-"

Thea got frighten, so she used self-defense. She grabbed his arm and flipped him over. He groaned; she ran down the stairs. Before she made her way out, she traveled back to where she belonged.
