Aria was passed out on the concrete bed, curled into a ball. Before anyone can understand what's happening, uncle bucky walks up to the cell door.

He slams his hand onto the metal bars loudly. "up soldier!" He shouts. Aria sits up and jumps off of the bed. If you can even call it that.

"I'm sorry sir i-" she stops mid sentence. She runs up to the cell door where uncle bucky is. "Winter soldier! You came back!" She smiles.

Uncle bucky taps his foot on the ground and uncle Steve leads us down the hall. Uncle bucky runs up to us after about a minute.

"she can't remember how she got here. She knows that there is a camera in her cell. It didn't see any of us, thankfully. She's putting on her training suit so they turn of the cameras." He says

"so then what do we do?" I ask. "well she's trained to get prepared for a mission in 3 minutes. The cameras are on 5 minute dress timers" he says.

"how are we supposed to get her out with out them taking control like they did last time?" Dad asks.

"I should have told Bruce to look for more than just cameras." Pops says. "what?" Dad asks. "I had a feeling that there was more than cameras. I was right I should have told Bruce." He says

"what about natasha?" Uncle Steve asks. Just then we hear aria scream loudly. Bucky runs down the hall and I hear aria scream "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! THEY HAVE CONTROL"

Bucky rejoins the team "we have to get her out now." He says. Aria screams again and the cell door opens. Aria runs down the hall and stops in front of the group.

"stay back. Please." She says as the tears stream down her face. My spidey sense tells me to dodge left so I do. Aria lunges at me with a large knife.

"stop it!" She screams, lunging at me again. I bearly got out of the way in time. She starts to shake, trying for fight control.

She lunges at nothing and stops. She turns to face all of us. "I'm sorry. Tell mj I love her." She says, she trys to jam the knife into her chest, but stops an inch away.

"just let me die!" She screams, trying again and again to stab her chest, each time stopping right before she does. All of us freeze in shock.

Then, loki appears in a cloud of smoke and jams a needle into her neck, making her go limp. He steps over her as he walks to the group. "hello again Peter." He says.

"First of all what are you doing here. Secondly, how do you know my son?" Dad says, stepping between me and loki.

"Thor told me you may need help. I encountered this child at the boys home as my brother can't go anywhere with out my help." He says, calmly.

Dad glares at him and steps away. I run over to aria. "is she going to be ok?" I ask. "she will wake up in about 3 hours unless she is given something else." He says.

"lady romanoff is in the pent house. You will be able to get all of it out before you reunite them." Loki says. "how do you know they can be removed?" Pops asks.

"I studied mid-gaurdian science in my free time on asgard. from my under standing, it should be simple for dr.banner." he says.

It's been almost 3 hours since they went to the hydra base. They were only supposed to be there for an hour or two.

After about 45 minutes loki just teleported away. I haven't seen anyone and Friday won't open the elevator. What's going on?

I hear the elevator ding and Peter walks in, alone. He looks like he saw a ghost. Why is he alone? Where is everyone else?

"Peter? Where is everyone?" I ask. "down stairs. But you aren't allowed down there." He says, sitting on the couch next to me.

"did they tell you why?" I ask. "nope." He says. "also, are you ok? You don't look so good." I say. "I'm ok, just a little tired is all." He says.

I hear the elevator ding again and I turn around. I what I don't expect to see, is aria, alive. How? They said she was dead! I went to her grave yesterday.

"hi mom." She says, somewhat intoxicated. Clint is helping hold her up. He was supposed to be upstairs 20 minutes ago but I guess he was helping aria.

"aria!" I say, getting up and running to her. She slightly flinches when I get close to her. That's when I see the hydra logo branded on her arm.

"I'm sorry. I guess they still found me." She says, very clearly intoxicated. "That's ok. You're here now, you're safe." I say.

Clint give her to me and I help her to the couch. She sits down next to Peter. "if you need anything just call me ok? I'm going to make some food." I say.

I walk into the kitchen and start making grilled cheese. Aria was alive, and she called me mom. I had grown so attached to her that she was like a daughter.

I bring the food out and we sit down and eat. "when can I call mj?" Aria asks. "when everyone else gets up here we will ask." I say.

Pov.mj

I'm sitting I'm my room, seeing all the bs sappy posts about aria from People who didn't even know her.

My phone starts ringing and I wipe the tears from my eyes and answer.

"hello?" I say, trying to sound like I wasn't crying. "mj? Are you crying?" Aria asks. I was told that she was dead. That she had killed herself. How was this possible? It can't be her.

"yeah I'm ok. It's just, you sound like this person I loved who passed away and, for a second I thought it was her." I said. "mj. It's me. It's aria I'm not dead." I drop my phone and freeze.

After a minute I pick my phone back up. "Don't mess with me. She's gone. I talked to the doctors, I visit her grave everyday! Don't lie to me!" I say, starting to get mad.

"mj, baby its really me I'm not lying. I'm still your little honey badger right?" She says. "oh my god. It really is you!" I say. I started. calling aria my little honey badger when I found out she was a hufflepuff.

"how are you still alive? Are you ok?" I ask. "its a long story. I'm at stark tower. If you come over ill explain everything." She says. "ill be there soon." I say. "ill send happy to get you" she says, and hangs up.

With out a second thought, I change for the first time in what might be weeks. I take a shower and realize how amazing the hot water feels in my hair.

I get dressed and I have time to make a sandwich for aria. She always said they taste better when I made them. I made myself a ham and cheese, and made her a turkey and cheese with extra, like she always asks for.

I grab my phone, and hear a knock at the door. I realize I'm the only one awake so I wake up ned to tell him I'm leaving. "why?" He asks. "aria" I say. "This early? Is the yard even open?" He asks.

I shrugged and walk to open the door. Its happy. I yell by to ned one last time and walk out the door. I text aria to tell her I'm on the way.

When I get up to the pent house, I see aria chasing someone around the living room. "Give me back my phone loki!" She shouts. "brother, listen to the young one." I hear thor say.

"aria!" I can't believe she's really here. She stops when she sees me. "mj!" She shouts as she runs twords me.

We hug and i feel like the world could be crashing down around me and I wouldn't care because aria would be there to save me.

"I made you a sandwich." I say, taking it out of my bag. "aww.. you didn't have to do that! Thank you!" She says, taking it from me.

For the rest of the day we watched movies and made a pillow fort. It's hard to think that only yesterday I thought I would join aria as just another statistic.

You never know how much someone really means to you untill you lose them. I had no idea how much she was holding me together until I lost her.

She was the only one I let see that side of me. She is the only one who knows how bad the trauma really was, about the anxiety.

When she died I blammed myself, thought that if I hadn't told her anything about my past, that she wouldn't have done that. I blammed myself for her suicide. Turns out it was hydra.

I went home around 7:00 and sat next to ned on the couch to watch harry potter again.

He likes star wars more, but he hasn't seen all the harry potter films untill I tried to tell him about it before aria "died"

"this us the longest you have been at the grave yard mj. Are you sure you're doing better?" Ms.leeds asks.

"well um... long story but I found out she's not acually dead. You would have to talk to mr.stark or dr.banner about that." I say, going back to my room

I reach under my pillow and pull out the razor blades I had hidden. I ooen the window and throw them as hard as I can.

I can't let anyone know how long I've been doing this, but I have to stop. For her, for aria. She deserves better than someone like me, but I can alteast make her happy.
