Little angel

(31) (1) Her death

Loki's POV:

She smiled softly as she stroked our cheeks then my mind goes to a dark place when I see the wound going down her entire front half. I'm shaking her and talking with her along with Peter; both of us trying keep her awake. She groans in pain and her breathing slows. I look over at Peter who is just as scared as I am, he grabs the boy as Ivory wishes and I rushed her to the nearest hospital. The area was packed but due to her injury she was a priority. They took her out of my arms and onto a bed rushing her into an operation room. I was stopped before I could follow her further. Peter was with me within the next couple minutes. He sat down with his face in his hands and I'm pacing up and down the hall, thinking of the worst possible outcomes.

A doctor comes out and greets us, "hello you brought the enhanced in correct?" I nod, "Her name is Ivory. And yes we brought her in." He apologies, "she is currently in surgery, we're stitching up her entire front half and we've had to re-break her arm because it began to heal in the wrong position. Does she have a healing ability?" I nod and he walks us through what will happen, from the corner of my eye I see a female surgeon in scrubs running towards the doctor. She whispers something and he runs off after her. My heart was going a million miles an hour, there was a lump in my throat and a sickening feeling in my stomach. She's going to make it right?

A couple hours later

The team had arrived and we were all in the waiting room hoping for good news when a doctor comes to speak to us. Peter was in tears, Tony and Steve looked solemn, Nat almost looked scared, Clint was being patched up by Bruce and Bucky was very quiet. None of us knew what to what to expect.

The doctor from before walks out the operation room and the red light from above turns off. He takes his mask off and looks at us sadly. "I am sorry but there were complications during the surgery" I grab him by the collar and glare at him "what do you mean by that?! She made it right?!" The man looks to the side and shakes his head, "Her wounds were too deep and she had lost too much blood. We tried to bring her back but nothing worked. I am very sorry for your loss." Steve has me let go and the man rushes off. I let myself fall to the ground and scream whiteout realising tears fell; they fell and wouldn't stop. She's really gone...

Thor's POV:

Everyone was heartbroken after finding out Lady Ivory didn't make it but no one was more affected than Peter and Loki; both of them have never suffered a loss such as this one.

Peter wouldn't talk and he couldn't sleep, Tony and Steve had to make sure he was still eating. Loki shut everyone out, he never left his room. No one knew if he was eating or sleeping.

A couple days later her funeral was held. Everyone was there, even Loki. We stood as her  casket was lowered into the ground. Nat was silently crying into Clint's shoulder, Bruce and Peter were weeping, Tony hid his tears with his glasses, Bucky didn't cry but it was clear he was upset. Even Fury turned up and secretly wiped a tear from his eyes. I was also wiping away my tears; it hasn't really sunk in yet, that she's gone. Finally there was Loki, he looked the worse out of all of us. He had large dark rings under his eyes, he had lost a bit of weight and his usual smirk is long gone and replaced with a frown, his eyes were glazed over from constant crying.

I walked over to him and placed my arm around his shoulder, "she's really gone..." he mumbles, I nod and look back to where they're burying her. "Yeah....doesn't feel real does it?" He shakes his head, "She was nearly healed! SHE JUST GOT BETTER! ITS ALL MY FAULT....I wasn't there for her.." Peter walks over and shakes his head, "Loki please don't blame yourself, she wouldn't of wanted you to do that. She wanted us to be happy... please just don't shut us out. We're all sad!" He latches himself around Loki's waist and cries, to my surprise and probably everyone else's, Loki wrapped his arms around Peter. The both of them cried in each other's arms. They felt as if it was they're fault she didn't make it as they were the last people she saw.

Back at the base

Loki's POV:

Someone knocks on my door "Go away!" They shuffle behind the door and knock again. I open the door ready to yell at someone when I see Peter with red puffy eyes, I calm myself a little. "What's wrong kid?" He whimpers and grabs ahold of my hand, "Just come. Ivory somehow left a will- don't ask me how. None of us knows when she did this." I nod and let him lead me to the main room where all the other avengers are. They look up and see us, looking a little shocked Peter managed to drag me out of my room.

We walk over and there's a piece of paper with a parcel, Steve nods and Nat reads the paper,

' I'll start of by saying I'm sorry for leaving you so soon, if the cancer doesn't kill me and I somehow make it through and something else does it truly has been an honour and privilege to live and work alongside you all. You took me out of my nest and into a whole new world, one of love, and fun. Although I was from a forest you welcomed me with open arms and cared for me, all my best memories are with you all. You've probably got a lot on your mind now if your reading this, It means I'm gone. I can't make the pain go away but I can tell you this- I loved every single one of you. You have done so much for me and I know I could never return the favour. Do me a favour and don't let sadness consume you, be happy. I know it will be hard but could you try it for me?
There's so much I want to say but so few words to actually describe how I feel.

I have left everyone something to remember me by, you can do as you wish with my present: cover it in resin, frame it, wear it, I don't mind. Just never forget, I love all of you!'

We all began crying at her words, Nat even struggled to get some of her words out. Tony opened the parcel and covered his mouth, he turned around and inhaled then turned back. "What is it Tony?" Steve asks. Tony pulls out a bundle of large white feathers that fade to grey then red. "Her feathers..." Peter squeaks out, I pat his back in hope of comforting him. The feathers all had tags on them so Tony passed them around to the right people, he came to Peter and I last. He handed us the biggest feathers out of all of them, they were her primary flight feather. My heart sunk and I choked up a bit.

A few years later

I wake up and get ready for the day as per usual. A lot of things have changed over the past few years, but in the end it brought us all together, some more than others. Bruce and Nat are together and me and Peter are close friends, well it's more like family. We act almost as if we are family now. Though we will always be missing a part of us that would make us whole.

I turn around to the fireplace and above it is a large resin coated white, grey and red feather with a wooden base and golden plate that says, "Ivory, a friend, companion and my little bird." I smile fondly at the feather "See you later little bird." I turn around and close the door behind me and I'm met with Peter. "Ready Loki?"

A/n: I am on a roll- posting two days in a row. If you cried, me too TwT
