Thanos' daughter

Chapter Thirteen

Stephen's POV

"Nevelia, you can't do that. You could hurt yourself more, you know that." I say to her

"I would rather take my chances then be left like this."

"I'm sure your healing factor would start working eventually." I say to her willing her to not do this

"My healing factor has blocked out these injuries. It has helped them as much as it could and it has given up. There is no hope left for me."

"Nevelia don't risk your life for this."

"I need to Stephen."

"Well I refuse to let you have your powers or the stones."

She looks to me sadness filling her eyes.

"I can't be like this, if we were ever this injured we were given an option to end it all. Everyone always took it, for they knew that they could not continue life like that. That could not stay alive knowing they had no purpose."

Tears form in my eyes.

"Nevelia that isn't your life anymore. You will always have a purpose."

"Stephen, I need the stones. I need my purpose."

"Nevelia." I say sadly tears sliding down my cheek

"I have to do this. When you were in a car accident you resorted to magic to save you, why can't I?"

"That is different, different circumstances, different everything."

"No I don't understand how is that different? We both got hurt in a car accident, we both had our lifestyles taken away from us, we were both begging medical professionals to help us, we both resorted to magic to fix us. Please enlighten me on how that is different?" She says to me

Damn that kid has got me in a corner.

"What exactly are you planning to do with the stones?"

"Good you decided not to be an asshole, I need them all to use the powers combined to heal my injuries."

"And if they don't work?"

"They will work."

I sigh and start to leave the room.

"I'm going to bring the rest of the Avengers in to see you, do not mention anything about me letting you use the stones, or you will never touch or see them again." I say sternly to her and she nods

Nevelia's POV

People start to come in slowly all giving sympathetic smiles at me, god I hate it when people pity me.

"Enough with the pity smiles already, just give me a hug and be done with the pity." I say to them

They all look embarrassed at me calling them out but they do give me a hug.

"So how are you feeling?" Steve asks me

"Like I got hit by a car." I chuckle

"Well She has your humour Tony." Pepper says

I smile at them all of them, but Peter he isn't there.

"Where is Peter?" I ask worried

"We sent the kid home, he looked exhausted. We have been waiting for a while for the surgery, then you had to wake up after." Tony says

"How long since I got hit?" I ask confused

"Well the surgery took 12 hours and you have been out for another 3 so 15 hours." Tony says

I have been out for 15 hours, oh god.

"It's lunchtime would you like us to go down to the cafeteria to get you some food?" Bruce asks

"Yes, thank you." I smile at him

He and a few others go to get food. T'Challa and Shuri are here too. She almost had her back broken when Thanos came for the stones, and she healed so why can't I. Well she did build a system to help her walk but still.

"So I heard you made your own gear." She smiles

"When I get back to the base I can show you." I smile

"Why don't we let them hang out for a while." Tony says ushering everyone out

Everyone walks out and Shuri sits on the bed.

"I am sorry about what happened Nevelia, I truly am." She says to me

"Yeah I think everyone is. Listen how did you start walking after Thanos?" I ask

"I built a device and then had it placed in me, only took about an hour."

"I need that done for me, if the stones don't work."

She looks at me.

"Alright, but I can't promise it will work."

"You are Princess Shuri of Wakanda, smarter then Tony Stark. Of course it will work."

"I'm just letting you know it might not."

I nod and I hear someone fumble with the door before bursting in. Peter.
