***NOTE: This is an alternate branch off of the story Red, White, and Black. You should read up to at least chapter 17 of that story in order to fully understand this story.***
In 2018, The Avengers fought the worst enemy they had ever faced and lost. As a result half of all living things in the entire universe vanished.
Those who were left behind struggled to pick up the pieces, struggled with grief and guilt. No one escaped from losing someone but some lost more than others.
I lost the men I loved and the family we had started to create. And because of that I ran, leaving behind nearly everyone else I had cared about because I just couldn't handle the constant reminder of what had been taken from me. I gave myself a new purpose
Working alone, I did what I could to right the balance that had been thrown askew; because why should so many terrible people have survived when so many good had not. I turned vigilante and that was good enough for me.
But it wasn't good enough for someone else, and when he decided to track me down my whole world changed yet again

Arrows - Animo Sequel {Completed}
This is too soon. I'm not even eighteen. I'm not a legal adult. I shouldn't have experienced all of this. Not so young. I was too young to be taken from my home at night, too young to have aliens targeting me, too young to have my brother get kidnapped on my behalf. And I'm still too young to have so much responsibility on my shoulders. I can't stop the invasion all on my own, even if I have the Avengers on my side. But they'll only get in the aliens' way. They'll just be collateral damage. Nothing will stop everyone from dying, except for me. If I hand myself over, everything will go back to normal. For everyone but myself, that is. But I have to, don't I? They won't let me do it. They won't let me give myself up. But I have to. There's no other way. It's the only way to save everyone. To save Barton. He's not... He's not like he used to be. He's changed. He's cold. And I don't know why. And it worries me. This is all my fault. Surrendering won't do anything because there's no way the team will let me go so easily. No, there's only one thing for me to do. What was it that Loki said...? I'm too young. Too young to be making decisions like this. Too young to have so much weight on my shoulders. I'm too young to die.Complete
Where fire meets winter
After the events of Civil War, the Avengers were left fractured emotionally and politically. Some became fugitives, others worked in secret, and several walked away after the battle in Wakanda. Thanos did come... but he never got the chance to snap. The Avengers, divided and bleeding, stood together one last time with unexpected help and stopped him. No one died, but the scars ran deep. Now they are trying to get back together. The world, however, lost faith in its heroes. Governments stopped trusting them. Oscorp rose quietly from the shadows. And old enemies like Zemo began gathering strength, ready to strike when the world's protectors were at their weakest. Nick Fury disappeared after the final battle. But he never stopped watching. From the shadows He was looking for survivors. People with conviction. People who had lost and kept going. People like her. You weren't just another recruit. You were the fire they'd forgotten they needed. "They fight for what was. You... you'll fight for what's next. The world doesn't need more broken idols. It needs new fire. And you... you burn." But not everyone welcomes you. Bucky Barnes doesn't trust easily, especially not someone who knows too much and says too little. You're not afraid of him. He's not sure if that's a good thing. You clash. You fight. And somehow, in the quiet between storms, you begin to fall. Author's note: This story takes place in an altered version of the Marvel universe, where some timelines have been adjusted to fit the narrative. I don't own any of the Marvel characters, they belong to Marvel. Also, English isn't my first language, so I may go back and fix small mistakes as I update. Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoy diving into this powerful, messy, and emotional journey.Complete
What Happened?
This is a story about the Avengers, but not a normal one. Let me explain. While Loki is on Earth the Earth's Mightiest Heros (the Avengers) go to stop him (A miss understanding). As they are fighting something goes wrong with one of the spells that Loki casts upon them. Turning everyone of the Avengers into animals. The only way to fix this is to get Loki to reverse the spell. In the meantime, they get taken in by a woman named Phoenx. She has no idea that the animals she found on the street are actually the Avengers but through the struggle of finding Loki and beating Phoenx's own demons, they come together and make a pretty good team in the end. I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS!! I will only say that once! THAT IS GIVEN TO THE GREAT STAN LEE!!Complete
One Day More || a Tony Stark x Oc Avengers fanfiction
Let's say you had the power to save everyone you've ever cared about and more. Let's say that you could have a do-over every time you lost, every time you messed up, every time you missed something. Let's say that you could have another try anytime, but you had to die to have it. At first, you're happy about it; nothing can stop you. "Just one more time." Then, after a few times, it gets old. Your joints ache and you're tired, and no one around you knows why because you're the only one that remembers. "Just one more." Eventually, you want to give up. You know what death feels like, now, and you've experienced it far too many times than any person should. But now you know everyone by name, by eye color, by voice, by the sound they make when they drop to the floor. You can't just leave them to fend for themselves. "Just one more..." You're done. You've had it. You cry into your pillow, wondering if the curse will ever end. You've lost count of how many times you've tried again. Then you think of those people you had tried to save; they would die without you. You would have blood on your hands. So you pull yourself together and put on a smile. You pretend it's the first time, and you walk through the door like the future is ahead instead of today. And then you say, "Just one more day." "One more day."Complete
