《what a strange name》ch.23(tw)
Advertisement
I open my eyes and I'm in the boys home again. I look to the alarm clock and it's 12:00. I stared for what feels like half an hour but no time passes.
I stand up and open the door. Right across the hall I see a door with a paper taped to it that says 'aria's room knock!'
I hadn't realized untill recently but aria is like a sister to me. We became best friends. I put my ear to the door.
I hear aria crying and the mattress springs shifting. Thinking she's having another nightmare, I knock on the door.
"aria? Are you ok?" I ask. Now the crying stops and the mattress makes a strange sound, like someone stood up off the bed. "aria?"
I open the door and scream. Why didn't I open the door sooner... why didn't I stop her? Where did she even get this?
Aria is hanging from the ceiling fan, still swinging. He's arms are shredded and bloody. There are so many scars that you can't see her skin.
I try to run to her.
I jolt up in my bed and I'm at home. I check my phone and its 10:00 in the morning. I sit there for a moment thinking about my dream.
The last time I had a dream like that. It was the day before uncle ben died. Was this some kind of weird power I didn't know I had?
No. It couldn't be. Aria was doing so much better. She smiled yesterday for the first time since her dad died. There was no way she would do that.
I stand up and walk out of my room to see all of the avengers in their suits. Getting ready for something.
"what's happening? Do I need to suit up too?" I ask. Natasha turns to me "we are going on a mission. Didn't you read the note from tony?" She asked.
"what note?" I ask, still half awake. "I forgot to write the note!" Dad says as if he just remembered. "well I already called Nate and you're going to stay with him tonight. He has an open room." Pops says.
I feel chills as I start to connect the dots. Maybe my dreams are things I'm in the situation for but don't always happen. I'll just have to see when I get to the boys home.
I go to my room and pack an overnight bag with clothes, my tooth brush, tooth paste, pjs, and my spiderman suit. I also grab my phone, charger, and the note book wade gave me when he went to Japan.
I walk back into the living room. "is happy going to drive me or is someone coming to pick me up or should I take the subway?" I ask.
"happy will drive you." Dad says.
After they leave I wait for happy to get me. He pages me down to the front door and we get in the car. We sit in a comfortable silence for the entire ride.
I get out of the car and nate is right there to greet me. It's been almost a year since I lived here. Nate still looks exactly the same. Just then thor and someone I don't know appear out of no where on the sidewalk.
"I don't think this is a nursing home brother." The unknown man says. "no I remember it being right here." Thor says. "you are utterly useless. You know that right?" The other man says.

"um where are you trying to be?" Nate asks. Thor turn around and ignores Nate to look at me. "man of spiders!" He says, walking towards me. Nate steps in front of him.
"Excuse me but who are you?" Nate asks. "its ok, he's an avenger." I say. Nate steps away and I shake thors hand. "and who is this small friend of yours, brother?" The other man asks, putting a hand on thors shoulder.
"ah! Loki, this is Peter, man of spiders." Thor says. "this is my brother loki" he says to me. Loki steps forward and hold out his hand. I shake his hand.
"I am loki, god of mischief. And brother to Thor." He says. "I am Peter, people call me spiderman. But keep it on the down low ok?" I say. He nods.
"so what are you doing here, man spider?" Thor asks. "well the rest of the avengers are out on a mission so I'm staying here tonight." I say.
"I told you not to ignore that call." Loki said, punching thor in the arm. "well, we are off then. Goodbye man of spiders" Thor says before walking to his hammer and disapearing.
"lets go inside." Nate says. We walk inside and I am met with johnathan hugging my leg. He's grown so much.
"aria said she was friends with spiderman! Isn't that cool?" He says. I lean down to his level "I am spiderman." I say quietly.
His face lights up and he runs to aria and drags her over to me. "he says he's spiderman!" He shouts. Aria laughs and tells him, "he's right. But you can't tell anyone." She says, shushing him.
He runs off and aria and I talk for about 5 minutes. I want to tell her about my dream, to ask if she's ok, to tell her it will all be ok. But I don't know if its going to happen.
"well your room is right across from mine." She says. I feel slightly sick to my stomach but I follow her anyway. It was just a dream. It had to be.
We walked up the stairs and down the hall to where my old room used to be. On the door was a paper that said 'aria's room knock!' In bright letters.
"your going to be in this room." She says, pointing to the room across from hers. My heart sinks down into my stomach.
Without thinking, I grab her shoulder. "Don't do this aria." I say, softly. "what?" She says, trying to sound confused. "I know what your planning." I say.
I can see the tears start to form in her eyes and feel them sting at mine too. "I don't know what you're talking about." She says.
"you know exactly what I mean." I say. "you wouldn't get it. I don't even understand it. So how would I even talk about it." She says.
She opens her door and goes into her room. I walk into mine knowing that all I can do is stop her before she can go through with it.
Before I know it, its 9:00. I decide to try to sleep. But all I can think about is saving my best friend. I finally drift off. I'm scared of what my dream might be.
Suddenly I jolt awake. I look at the alarm clock and it says 12:00. No. I spring out of bed and run as fast as I can to arias door. It's locked and I hear her crying.

"ARIA!" I shout, spamming my fist on the door and shaking the handle. I hear her mattress move as if she is trying to stand. No. I can't get the door open.
"ARIA! WAIT!" I scream, spamming my body into the door to get it open. I hear the mattress shift again. "ARIA!" I scream again. I can't let this happen. I can't lose the person who understands me most. I can't lose my sister.
"what's happening out here?" Nate asks, tiredly. He looks up at me and sees the tears streaming down my face. I'm still spamming myself into the door trying to open it.
"what's happening?" Nate yells. "aria! Please don't do this! Think about everyone who cares about you!" I shout, losing hope. Nate realizes what's going on and runs over.
"ARIA!" He screams. "Think of-" he gets cut off by a loud gasp and the door opens. The chair that was blocking the door had fallen.
There was aria. Still swinging, arms shredded so badly I couldn't see her skin. Just like my dream. No. Not like this. Not her. I can't move. I just stare.
Nate runs to her without hesitation. He lifts her out of the rope and places her on the bed. He puts two fingers on her neck and sighed. "alexa, call 911" he says. "are you sure?" Alexa asks. "yes!" He yells.
The phone gets picked up right away. "911 what is your emergency?" A woman says. "I have a suicide attempt by an under weight minor. Pulse is slowing down. Alot. I'm at the 10th & 15th boys home. Hurry." He says.
Why does he sound like he's done this before? "stay on the line sir." The woman says. It doesn't take long for some of the other kids to wake up. I make everyone food and tell them that they aren't allowed upstairs.
Some of the older kids had already seen, since they were on the same floor. They helped me keep the kids downstairs. After a little while, paremedics and fire fighters show up.
I lead the paramedics upstairs while the fire fighters distract the kids downstairs. One of the fire fighters realized who I was and called dad. Within 5 minutes, the avengers show up, most of them in their suits. But not dad, pops, or aunt natasha.
The others distract the kids with the fire fighters and the kids have no idea anything it wrong. Dad, pops, and aunt nat follow me upstairs and natasha sees aria.
Her panic stops and tears start to form in her eyes. I've never seen her cry. I didn't know she could. She slowly walks to the perimedics who are still doing cpr.
She holds arias hand and sqeezes it tight. One of the perimedics shouts out, "we have a pulse!" Another one says, "she's breathing!"
they send pops to run down stairs and tell the kids to go outside. His clothes are the only ones that aren't bloody. They put her on a gurnny and wheel her out.
Natasha rides in the abulance with aria. Pops, dad, and I follow in dads car. It takes all of my strength not to just cry and completely break down.
When we get to the hospital, I can hear natasha taking to aria as they wheel her back. I swear I heard a sound from aria before natasha smiles at her.
After a minute, natasha comes back and sits down next to us. I can see the fear and worry in her eyes. "I thought I heard aria say something. Did she?" I ask.
"she did. I kept telling her that everything would be ok. And then she called me mom. She said, 'mom, promise you'll protect me.'" She says. Wipeing tears from her eyes.
"she was awake?" Pops asks. "yeah?" Aunt Natasha says. "that's not good. I have to-" he says, standing up before dad puts his arm in the way.
"honey. I know you want to help. But you know how emotional you get." Dad says. Pops sits back down and his leg starts shaking. Meanwhile I've been shaking this entire time.
After sitting in silence for about half an hour, a doctor walks out, not scrubed up or anything. Before he even specks, pops sinks back into his seat.
"are you the ones who brought in aria Smith?" He asks. "yes. Is she going to be ok?" Aunt natasha asks. He sits down next to her and puts a hand on her hand.
"I'm sorry for your loss." He says. Aunt natasha stands up. "no" she says "she can't be dead! Your lying! Let me see her!" She starts walking back but is stopped by two nurses.
She trys to push her way past. "she isn't dead!" She says again. "no!" She shouts. "ill do any thing! Save her! You have to!" She says, holding one of the nurses hands.
"I'm sorry mam. She's gone" he says. Aunt natasha just melts into a pile of tears and sobs on the floor. "noo... I can't lose her..." she says softly. "I. I lost her..." she says
(time skip because I'm a loser)
It's been 2 weeks since aria died. Mj hasn't been to school at all. Only ever gets out of bed for the bathroom. Ned says she has nearly eaten anything.
Flash keeps telling everyone how he knew her and how they were friends. Wade beat the crap out of him for it. Flash stopped after that.
Today is the day we raid the hydra base. There's no way they could know we are coming. It's me, dad, pops, uncle bucky, uncle Steve, and Thor. Loki is watching the tower while we are gone. Dad seems to not trust him for some reason.
When we landed, they had no clue we were there untill we ran in. Even then it was very clearly not a headquarters. There were still cells.
After dad used his new blasted on the guards and doctors, we walked down the row of cells. Most of them were empty.
I say most because about halfway through we found a kid, around 8 years old. Thor picked him up and took him back to New York.
We kept walking and see something we couldn't dare expect. We had all been mourning her. Yet here she was. Right in front of us.
Aria was passed out on the concrete bed, curled into a ball.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
