《Bird Set Free | Natasha Romanoff ✓》Chapter Forty-Two

"So we gotta assume they're coming back, right?" Rhodey said as they gathered in a separate room to discuss the situation they all found themselves in.
"And they can clearly find us." Wanda continued.
"We need all hands on deck," Bruce said. "Where's Clint?"
"After the whole Accords situation, he and Scott took a deal. It was too tough on their families, they're on house arrest."
"Who's Scott?" Bruce asked, still not fully briefed on the entire Accords situation.
"Ant-Man," Aquila replied.
"There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?" Bruce asked in shock.
"Okay, listen," Keira spoke up. "Thanos has the biggest army in the universe and he is already the most powerful being in the universe. He's not going to stop until he gets Vision's Stone."
"Well then, we have to protect it."
"No, we have to destroy it. I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head, about its nature. But also, its composition. I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something, very similar to its own signature, perhaps. . . .its molecular integrity could fail."
"And you, with it," Wanda replied turning to Vision. "We're not having this conversation."
"Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can't get it." Vision continued.
"That's too high a price," Wanda replied, distressed.
"Only you have the power to pay it." Vision said to Wanda, holding her face in his hands. "Thanos threatens half the Universe. One life cannot stand in the way of defeating him."
"But it should," Steve said, his eyes diverted down towards the floor. "We don't trade lives, Vision."
"Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save how many millions of people." Vision said stepping towards the Captain. "Tell me, why is this any different?"

Steve took a deep breath in but Bruce spoke up before he could reply to Vision's question.
"Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J. A. R. V. I. S., Ultron, Tony, me and the Stone. All of them mixed together. All of them learning from one another."
"You're saying Vision isn't just the stone?" Wanda asked.
"He is saying that if we take out the stone, there's still a whole lot of Vision left. Perhaps even the best parts." Aquila interjected.
"Can we do that?" Quinn asked.
"Not me. Not here." Bruce replied.
"You better find someone, and somewhere fast." Rhodey saying, supplying them with the bad news they all knew was coming. "Ross isn't exactly just gonna let you guys have your old rooms back."
"I know somewhere," Steve said as they all got ready to leave the compound when another person arrived that they hadn't expected.
"Parker's gone."
Aquila looked up to see Bea Ross, looking much older than the sad girl she had met at Clint's house three years ago.
"Yeah, I know. Tony is gone too." Keira replied to her sister.
"It's good to see you, Bea. You've grown up a lot." Aquila said to the youngest Ross sister.
"Thanks, Tequila. It's good to see you too."
"You've been spending too much time with Tony."
"Or even just me in general." Keira attempted to tease Aquila, causing all three girls to break out in laughter.
Aquila smiled widely at Keira who stood next to her, hoping that they would get a chance to probably catch up before the big purple dick decided to show his face.
"So, you and Tony are getting married then," Aquila said, hardly able to contain her excitement. "Can't say I didn't see it coming. You've only been dating since when? You were still at university?" Aquila teased.

"Oh, shut up," Keira said. "You're going to make me feel old."
"I think that's the point." Aquila teased. "But after marriage what comes next, children?"
"Well, I think that's definitely something we've both been thinking about. But at the same time, we are both still trying to come to terms with my miscarriage about a year ago."
"Miscarriage?" Aquila asked in shock, her hand reaching up to cover her mouth, hardly able to believe the news that reached her ears.
"Yeah, in the end, there was nothing that could be done."
"I'm so sorry, Keira."
Keira shot her a small smile. "So, what about you and Natasha, huh? Any wedding bells there?"
"I hope so," Aquila replied, a grin breaking onto her face at Keira's happy squeal that caused everyone's eyes to be on them. "Maybe when this is all over, I'll get the chance."
"You sound happy, what was the squeal about?" Quinn asked, walking over towards them, Bea not too far behind her.
"Oh, nothing." Aquila brushed it off. "You lot ready to save the world again?"

Papercuts to Fell Immortals
Qing Shen is a girl from the counrtyside, forced into a role she never wanted by a Young Master who's infamy is spread throughout the land. As a Cultivator in the path to immortality, Qing Shen has to deal with her own problems as well as the mysteries surrounding her Young Master. Things, however, are not as they seem, and the young girl finds that sometimes the truth is more unbelievable than the lies we often follow. . . . If you want a less hidden-meaning summary: This story is about the struggles of one girl as she tries to become an Immortal. There won't be any meaningful romance, but there will be a plot that spans most of the story, and violence. Oh the violence! I'm not going to say that my ideas are 100% original (because hoo boy are there a lot of Wuxia), but hopefully I can write something entertaining. Guaranteed things: 1. Cliche events with a twist (I mean, it's literally in the description) 2. Important Characters will have backstories and motivations that will hopefully make them not one-dimensional (honestly, that's just normal stuff...) 3. Untrustworthy characters (everyone in the story lies, even me, so don't trust everything you read... but at the same time, trust everything you read) 4. Goodish grammar (not gonna say mine's the best, but it's readable in most cases) 5. Plot! (Everywhere!) 6. worldbuilding? (Should be there somewhere, but I probably won't do blatant info dumps... probably) 7. Character development? (Its there... at some point...) 8. The story gets dark at some points (if you don't like characters dying, then this might not be your cup of tea) 9. A strong main character? (She'll be strong, yes. However, her enemies are also strong. If everyone is strong, then is she no longer strong? My brain hurts) 10. Wow, this list is going on for awhile... uh, Believable and reasonable Action? (I mean, I'm writing for mainly my fun, so if I want a fight scene, then I might craft a scenario to explain it... or I might suddenly throw in a Dragon and call it a day) This story also goes by the same name over on Webnovel.com, but I'm going to be updating it here because, well I want to. They are both by me, and created by me. If there's anything that seems like a copy of another work, then that's just the genre being saturated by everything under the sun.

Undying Lairs: A LitRPG web novel series
Chris Able is as risk-averse as they come after losing his job with the Atlanta PD and his recent divorce. So he looks forward to a weekend of safe, table-top gaming with his old college friends in the beautiful North Georgia mountains.Instead, he’s pulled into a dank, monster-infested fantasy dungeon, where his survival depends on mastering the skills, magic, and personality of the player character he’s possessing. At least his friends are with him, but in the bodies of their own player characters. And none of them know how they got there.Chris soon learns that to get home, he and his friends must do the impossible – defeat a god-like being at the center of the dungeon that knows far too much about their Earthly lives.It’s not the weekend a guy with anxiety issues needs. The Undying Lairs series is a LitRPG web novel. It starts with book one, THE TOMB OF ANGELUS. You'll notice "B1" in front of the first 35+ chapters, which means those chapters are part of "Book 1." When book one ends, "B2" will begin, and so on throughout the series. I know how the series ends, but getting the characters from here to there is the fun part. :-) Starting March 22, 2022, chapter releases are 4 pm ET Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
