Love is Death

Part 34: No

It's been a few weeks and i am still at my dad's 

I am helping Pepper make lunch

Dad is on the porch with Steve, Nat, and Scott they wanted to talk to him 

Then Morgan dragged me outside

Mommy told me to come and save you. i brought Tony with me. Morgan said and dad picked her up

Good job. i'm saved. I wish you were coming here to ask me something else. Anything else. I'm honestly happy to see you guys, i just... Oh, look, the table's set for seven. Dad said

Tony, i get it. And i'm happy for you. I really am. But this is a second chance. Steve said

I got my second chance right here, Cap. Can't roll the dice on it. If you don't talk shop, you can stay for lunch. Or ask Jr, maybe he will say yes. He is just as smart as i am. Dad said and walked away

Look, Anthony we should talk. Natasha said

Let me guess Scott found a way to bring everyone back and it has a fifty fifty chance of killing more people and you guys need my dads or mine help to build the thing. i said

Wow, you summed that up fast. Scott said

No, i'm just not an idiot. And no, i won't help, I have a family and i married the love of my life i won't risk that, not if i could lose the only family i got left. I said

Everyone lost something, don't you want to help people get who they lost back? Scott asked and i looked at him

Not really no, i care about what i got, not what everyone else lost. i said

So you just turn your back on the world? Scott asked

Scott, if you don't shut up i will break your legs. i said and then i felt a hand on my chest

Anthony, let's go. Natasha said and pulled me off the porch and over to the lake

Why do you want to help them? i asked Natasha

I want to help the world. She said

Why, you have everything you want right here, we have everything. I said

It's my family that i want back. Natasha said

What? i asked

Yelena, Melina, Alexei they are all gone and i want them back, we could all be together again. Natasha said

Nat, i love you and your family but i won't risk it, not if i could lose you, or my sister or anyone i love. I said

Okay, then i guess i will have to do this without you. She said

I'm sorry you know i would help but i have so much on the line now Nat, you know that. I said

I know. Natasha said

Don't get hurt or killed. i said and she nodded and i kissed her

Maybe i might try to change my mind. i said

Thank you. she said and kissed me again 

I love you. she said

Love you too. i said

Skip

I am downstairs laying on the couch 

I was sleeping then i felt a hand tap me

When i woke up i saw my dad

What is it? i asked

They were right, we could bring everyone back, without anyone else dying. Dad said

Wait, you really want to do their plan? i asked

I think we should try. He said

Dad we can't risk that. i said

If we see any sign of trouble we will stop, i promise. He said

I'll go get my stuff. i said

Alright. He said
