《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?"

Rise of an Undead in a Fantasy World
Have you ever wondered what would happen if an undead being that doesn't know what it is like to be alive got free will? What would that undead creature do? How would they think? How would they view the world around them? Would they see life as futile and conquer the world, making it a lifeless danger zone to all living beings? Well, none of that matters, because that's not happening. Our main character is your average gamer from the modern world, yada yada yada... gets transported to a fantasy world through obscure means, blah blah blah... you know how this works. What separates him from the masses, however, are his views on ethics, and world politics. ... Oh, and the fact that he doesn't need to breathe. Message From Author! Accept?: Yes No This is only my second novel, so keep that in mind. I will try to keep the quality of the story to an acceptable level. This means something that I, myself would read. The quantity, however, may put some people off. Adding onto the whole "villainous lead" thing, I will make sure to have the character develop into that perfect little villain over time, instead of starting him out as a bloodthirsty murder-hobo. Of course, there will still be a lot of murdering and he may be a hobo for some of it, but it will mostly not be out of malice in the very early chapters. Last but not least, I have decided there will not be a defined release schedule for this, as I have lost interest in forcing myself to upload x amount of times a week. I will upload whenever I get a good idea, and take my time. That is, if I even feel like writing in the first place. Instead of taking breaks from this novel to do my own thing, I will take breaks from my daily life to post on here. Also, I'm lazy. Thanks for reading, and if you're alright with everything above, feel free to give it a read, and without further ado, have a good one! - Your Author P.S.: I will have little to no romance in the story, as I can't bring myself to writing it, so you don't have to worry about harems.

"The past is written by the future. The king shall fall off his throne by thirteen men who have not been born." He is the mad king who tears a whole continent into two pieces without mercy. He wielded the dark magic from an arcane source, from just no one to The Supreme Emperor. His reign lasts for nearly two hundred years, and no one knows exactly how many dead bodies are lying under his throne. But this is not the story of him. His reign is over, and now comes an epic of The Thirteen Knights, who sent the death sentence to the Emperor. Who are they? And above all, what they have lost to become such a symbol? Blood. Love. Duty. Comes power, comes responsibility, a wise man used to say. Victory does not create a man, tragedy does. Each chapter is around 700 - 2000 words to make the reading more efficient. The main timeline takes place in 2000 years later from the battle in beginning chapters, when magic is no longer available.
