Daughter of the Gods Book 3: The Final Battle

Chapter 12: Atlantia

After blacking out when Thor killed Thanos, all I saw was black until visions of death started. It was torture having to watch random people die in the most painful ways. It hurt even more to watch people I am close to go through those pains. However, one random day, I feel a tug in my gut and I open my eyes and shoot up to a sitting position. I looked around trying to shake the visions out of my eyes. I could hear a beeping noise so I focused on that until the visions faded. Once they were faded I took a look around and I could see I was in my old room in the Avengers Compound with it decorated the exact same except there were tons of medical equipment in here. I move my arm and I realize I had a lot of tubes sticking out of my arms. I look down and realize I was connected to a heart monitor so I carefully pulled them off before turning off the machine. I then work on pulling out the tubing without damaging my body. Thank gods that Apollo and Asclepius are my fathers or I would have probably injured myself. Actually if all the gods weren't my parents, I wouldn't be going through this many life-threatening situations but truly I wouldn't trade my parents for anyone else. I slowly climb out of the bed and immediately collapse to the floor. I realize my body was not used to walking.I used my wind power to help me stand and then to help hold me up as my legs realize they should learn to walk again. Once I relearned how to walk I released the wind power. I then took a look into the future to make sure we were still on the right path to win. I could see the 2 paths that would allow us to win but I would die were still there. However, the path that allowed us to win and let me live was fading in and out of whether not it was a possible solution based on our actions. I felt tears form in my eyes but I just blinked them away. I figured I should create a little video package just in case I do die. I used a power to record a message so it would pop up above my body when I die. I combined Hades and Hermes powers to allow me to leave a message after I die.

"Well, I guess I should start with if you are seeing this message, it means one of the paths that I had prevented Dr. Strange from seeing has happened and it was the one that involved my death." I began," This is a recorded message and cannot be repeated so if you want my last words, whip out your phones now.Go on I'm waiting..." I wait a few moments before continuing,"

-Firstly, I want to explain to you Strange why this path never showed. On Titan when you looked for the possible futures, I did as well and knew if you saw the 3 extra paths that contained me, you would have made sure that the path which had Tony die happened. In order to prevent this, I blocked those paths so only I could see them. I did not want to die. One of those paths did indeed allowed me to live but was also the unlikely one. So I am sorry Strange but I ask of you to not blame yourself. I am more powerful then you Strange. You could have not broken the block.

-To my parents,Loki, Thor and the rest of you. I will never blame you for the life I had. Although I almost died more times then I could count on my hands, I would not trade this life for any other. I have the most incredible parents. You guys always wanted to protect me so I thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of such wonderful families. I ask of you to explain to my demigod family when they reach Elysium again what happened to me.

-To Tony, Please live your life with your family. Stop being a damn hero. I saved your life today because in the other path and the path the Strange saw you were the one to die. I want you to live a long life with your family. Please. This is my final wish for you.

-To Steve, You have always tried to protect me by trying to convince me to stop putting my life on the line. Alas, I am like you Steve, I can't stop doing that. Thanos was right and wrong. Loyalty is a fault but it is also a gift. Steve I am sorry because you are going to blame yourself but don't it was my choice. Now, I'm going to give you advice and I advise you to take it. Be selfish for once, Steve. You will know what I mean at that moment.

-To Peter, I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I could feel tears streaming down my face as I recorded this bit. I think I am in love with you and I think from the kiss you gave me, I think you are as well. I am sorry for not allowing us to have a life together. You know, I looked to see if we would have a future together and we did. I am sorry we didn't have a chance to explore this. I guess I can see you in Elysium but I am not even sure I will make it there. You see with my soul being more god then mortal, there is a high chance in which my soul just fades away. I'm sorry Peter for the life we never got to have. However, I don't want you to pine over me till you die. Please recover from losing me as quickly as you can and then try to live your life, Peter. Please.

-To everyone else, you guys have helped me at some part of my life and saved my life at some point in my life. For that I thank you and I hope you forgive me for choosing this path. I hope you don't forget me but I most hope that you move on. I'm sorry for the pain you feel but I promise it will get better. This is goodbye."

When I say those last words, I brake down before ending the recording. I wipe away the tears before making my way out of my room. I began looking for the Avengers. When I hear voices coming from a room, I make my way there. I open the door to see Bruce as a combine version of Bruce and Hulk, Tony, Steve, Natasha, Thor who is now fat(that made me take a double take), Scott, Nebula, Rocket, Rhodey, and Clint who is dressed in a version of ant-man suit.

"Alright Clint. We're going in 3...2...1." Bruce counts down before hitting a button and Clint disappears through the van which looks to be a Quantum Tunnel. A few seconds later Clint reappears on the ground of the glass platform. Natasha runs up to him immediately.

"Hey, hey. Look at me. You, okay?" She asks.

"Yeah, it worked. It worked." Clint says throwing Tony a baseball glove. I see everyone looking happy at that so I figured I should draw their attention to me.

"How long have I been out?" I ask. They all turn to me when they hear my voice.

"Atlantia, you're awake." Steve said shocked.

"How long?" I ask again.

"5 years." Tony answers.

"What are we standing around for? You guys solved Time travel so let's find where the stones are!" I yell before turning and walking out of the room toward a meeting room with the Avengers following.
