Pietro's POV

"You did not see that coming."

I took one final glance at Clint before the world turned black, I wasn't dead yet, but I was definitely close to it. But in my dying moments, all I could think was, Why is no one coming to help me? And is this what y/n felt? Or was her death worse? If she was right about Valhalla, maybe I could find her there.

Then, my whole conscious went black,  and nothingness consumed me.

I woke up standing in front of a glowing golden man, with a white beard and...an eyepatch?

I was standing in a courtroom, painted in gold with beautiful oak floors and leather seats. All of the seats were taken by what I could only assume were warriors, some of them Vikings, and some of them in Roman armour.

Then, a voice boomed, "Pietro Maximoff. Son of Magneto and Magda Eisenhardt, 27 years old, with a twin sister left behind."

I looked up at the man, "Yes sir. That is me."

The man smiled, "I know young one, your time on earth was far too short. Your life was supposed to be long, living with your one true love. But here you are."

I frowned, "Sir, my love died ten years ago in Banff, Canada. I haven't need truly happy since she left."

"Well Pietro, my name is Odin. Father of Thor, Loki, and Hela. And I am the judge of Valhalla, so I decide wether you get into Valhalla or, you get sent to Hel."

I was speaking to the oldest god of all, so I immediately dropped to my knees and bowed my head, trying to make up for my lack of respect.

"I'm sorry for my behaviour sir, I didn't know I was in the presence of royalty." My voice shook as I spoke.

"Stand up boy, there is no need for that."

I slowly stood up and looked at Odin, in awe of who I was standing in front of.

Odin continued, "Your true love is y/n. And she did die ten years ago."

"Odin, please tell me she got into Valhalla. I don't care if you send me to the depths of Hel, as long as she is happily in Valhalla, I will be happy."

The god chuckled, "Pietro Maximoff, y/n Barton is in Valhalla. But she is the only soul in Valhalla that isn't happy. Valhalla is supposed to be a place of eternal happiness, and she isn't happy."

I let a silent tear fall, "Why is my love not happy? She is in the most beautiful place in history, how could she not be happy?"

Odin sighed, "She isn't happy because you aren't there with her. You see, in Valhalla, you don't age, so she is still 16 years old. But she has been depressed for 10 years. Quite sad really."

I looked up at Odin, "Sir, did I make it to Valhalla?"

"Son, you did. You made the ultimate sacrifice, just to save Clint Barton and a little boy you have never met. You are on the list to get into Valhalla."

I fell to my knees and cried, I would be able to see my beautiful y/n once again.

Beside Odin there were two doors, one gold, and one blood red. I looked up and saw the Golden door swing open to reveal grassy fields and Pegasus flying around. I stood up and started to the door.

Odin stopped me and looked me in the eyes, "Go find her Pietro, you are the only thing that can make her happy."

I nodded and walked through the door, looking at the paradise in front of me. I took one last look through the door before is slammed shut, leaving me to find y/n on my own.

I ran towards a large building in the middle of the field, it was made of gold and it was covered in blooming flowers, the smell was intoxicating.

I called out y/n's name but all I got were people staring at me and whispering. I ran out of the gold building and into the fields of flowers. A Pegasus passed me, blowing my hair into my face.

I called it, hoping it could give me a ride. The Pegasus turned and came back to me, allowing me to get on before it took off, I could run around, but I thought this would be more fun.

"Can you take me to y/n Barton?" I asked the horse, it whinnied and started flying way faster towards the edge of the fields, which must've been 100 miles away.

As we flew, I watched the flower fields changed from orange to pink to blue and saw more and more arenas for sports pop up. It was just like earth, except way more beautiful. There were sprawling cities and vast countrysides, and I could feel the Pegasus slowing down and getting lower to the ground. We must've been in the air for hours to come this far!

"Are we there?" I asked the animal as we touched the ground, and it broke into a full on gallop to a large all black house, with bright coloured roses and other flowers surrounding it. The horse stopped and let me off in front of the towering house.

"Thank you, see you soon?" The Pegasus nodded, like it knew what I said, before taking off flying again.

I took a deep breath as I walked up to the house, my running shoes padding on the dark wooden steps. I went up to the bright red front door and smiled to myself, y/n always wanted a red front door. I brought a shaky had up and knocked on the door loudly, hoping she was home. Three knocks later I heard footsteps coming towards the door, my palms were sweaty and my breathing was ragged. What if it wasn't her? What if she hates me? What if she doesn't even recognize me? It's been ten years, what if she moved on? All of these thought races through my mind before the door swung open, revealing the girl I fell in love with. Her hair was braided to one side of her head and she had blood on her face. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt with dark wash skinny jeans, and she was even more beautiful then I remember. 

Her eyes went wide as tears began to fall down her face, matching the ones that were already staining my cheeks.

"Y/n." I whispered.

"Pietro," she said before grabbing my face and kissing me. I kissed her back, relishing in the Feeling of her. We pulled away and looked into each other's eyes for the first time in ten years.

Y/n suddenly looked worried.

"Y/n love, what's wrong?" I asked.

Y/n weeped, "Pietro, I cant even explain how happy I am to see you, but if you are here with me right now, that means, your dead."

AGHHHHH I'm back!!!
