I'll Always Love You

Luna had woken up in a strange room. 


She had no idea where she was, and it worried her. 


She was afraid she'd been kidnapped again. 


She heard a soft knock on the door.


 "Come in." 


A woman about 30 or so walked into the room. 


She had a round belly, due to her pregnancy, and caring eyes.


 "Hello sweetheart."  


"Where am I?" Luna asked. 


Luna felt like a lost little kid. 


"My name is Laura Barton, Clint's wife. You're in my home." 


"Clint?" 


Luna's eyes lit up. 


Wherever Clint was, Natasha was. 


"Is Natasha here?" 


Laura chuckled. 


"Yes, she's here along with Jack, Spot, Alicia, Becca, and Alyssa."


Luna's eyes lit up at the mention of her friends. 


"Where's Race?" She asked. 


"He's safe back in New York." 


Luna let out a breath of relief. 


"Can I see Nat?"  


Laura chuckled.


 "She's only been asking to come in here for the past three hours, I'll go get her." 


Clint watched as his pregnant wife came out of Luna's room. 


"How is she?" Steve asked. 


The group of Avengers stood in the Barton living room, waiting to hear news about Luna. 


"She's awake." 


 "How is she?" Jack asked. 


"I have no idea. She seems fine, but she's feeling so many emotions right now, it hard to tell." 


Spot stood by the window. 


The love of his life was alive. Their last encounter was still fresh in his mind. The way they fought. The look of hurt and betrayal on Luna's face haunted his dreams every night.


 His mind was telling him, she wanted nothing to do with him, his heart told him she still loved him, his body yearned for her touch. 


He craved the taste of her sweet lips on his. 


He needed her.


 He wanted her. 


The last two years had been tough on him, and now that Luna was alive, all the months of not hearing her voice, kissing her lips, came rushing toward him. 


He needed Luna, as if his life depended on it.


"She's asking for you." 


"Who? Me?" Jack, Alicia, Alyssa, Becca, and Natasha asked at once. 


"Nat." 


Natasha got up off the couch, and ran into Luna's room.


 As she neared the door, she heard Luna singing softly. 


"Just close your eyes, You'll be alright..."


 "Come morning light, You and I'll be safe and sound." Nat sang, as she walked into the room. 


Luna turned her head toward the soft voice. 


"Nat..." 


Luna ran to hug the woman. 


Nat wrapped her arms around the young girl's waist. 


"It's alright. You're home now. Nobody can hurt you again." 


"They made me forget. All the memories of you guys, they twisted. They put horrible images in my head. They made me think I killed Anthony... ANTHONY! Oh god! He doesn't know I'm alive!" 


She was now pacing around the small room, worrying about her family. 


"Hey. Luna it's okay. We'll call Race, and the other back in Manhattan, and everything'll be okay." 



"JACK KELLY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET HURT!" Camryn's voice screeched over the video chat. 


"I'm alright. I'm not dead." 


"Francis Nathaniel Sullivan! Just wait until I get my hands on you!" 


Spot, Alicia, and Alyssa were laughing at Jack's angry girlfriend. 


"Jesus woman! Be happy he's alive." The voice of Anthony Higgins said off screen. 


"So, how'd it go?" Race asked. 


Jack looked at the other behind him.


 "Hold on. Clint, Bruce, Steve, Tony!" 


The four Avenger's walked into the room.


 "Alright. The mission didn't go exactly as planned, but we found something." 


Race looked at the screen questioningly. 


"What did you find?" 


 Becca, Camryn, David, Hill, and Blink were now standing behind the Italian boy. 


"It's not exactly a 'something' it's more of a 'someone.'" Alyssa said. 


Steve stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders. 


"Who did you find?" Becca asked. 


"We found Luna." Alicia said. 


Race said nothing. 


"What do you mean you found Luna? She's dead."


"That's what we thought." 


"The fourth enhanced, the one with the violet eyes, that's Luna. They changed her appearance so we wouldn't try and take her with us." Clint said. 


"That doesn't make any sense. Luna's been dead for two years, she couldn't be alive. I watched her die." Becca said.

"We don't know the full story. All we know is they took Luna, changed her looks, and turned her against us." Spot said, speaking for the first time since the announcement that Luna was alive.


 "YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY SISTER'S ALIVE?! SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY PULITZER, RUN OUT OF NEW YORK BY PULITZER, HUNTED DOWN BY THE SUMMER'S BROTHERS, KILLED BY OUR OLDER BROTHER, AND THEN KILLED! THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE EVENTS SHE CAME BACK. SHE CAN'T CHEAT DEATH TWICE! MY SISTER IS DEAD!" 


The tears were flowing down his face. 


"And this time, she's not coming back." 


 There was a sad silence in the room.


 "How do you think I feel? That summer, was the summer that I changed. I felt loved and wanted for the first time since my parents left me on the streets. She came to the docks, smiling and laughing with Boots, and I fell in-love with her. She went away, and I felt heartbroken, she came back, and my heart was whole again. Then we died, and slept for years, when she woke up, I didn't see her. I had a spell put on me that screwed up everything I had done with her, for her, and in the end I lost her. I wished so many times, that I could go back in time and change what I did to hurt her. I wished that I could've kissed her goodbye before she left to rescue Les. I wish I could've told her I loved her. I wish that I could've given her everything she ever wanted. A house, a family. But I couldn't. My biggest regret, was not being who she wanted me to be. When I found out she was alive, all I thought was 'she's not going to give you another chance.' Anthony, I know what you've been through. I don't know who's been through worse. As you best friend, I'm asking you to believe us. Luna is alive."


"Spot..." A soft voice called. 


Everyone turned their heads, to look at the doorway of Luna's room.


 There she stood, her violet eyes, welling up with tears. 


"Luna." 


 Spot took a step toward her.


 Luna ran toward the boy who stole her heart. 


Spot caught the girl in his arms. 


"I'm so sorry." 


"I hurt you. I hurt you so bad. I broke your heart too many times. You've cried thousands of tears over me. You don't deserve me. I'm so sorry for everything I put you through. I'm so sorry." 


Luna was sobbing as well.


 "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you. I should've gone with you." 


"Spot, you couldn't have known what was going to happen. My biggest regret was not telling you I loved you before I left. After everything we've been through, I still love you, and I always will. Now kiss me." 


Spot leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.


 Luna felt the old sparks fly, and she never wanted to let go.


 A bright violet light filled the room. 


Cooper and Lila Barton looked at the two amazed as the violet light lifted them up. 


The light flashed again. 


When everybody opened their eyes, they were amazed. 


Luna was back to her brown hair, and her lightly tanned skin, the only thing that still remained of her days as Violet, were her violet eyes. 


"I'll always love you." Luna said, smiling.   


A squeak sounded from behind the two. 


Luna looked over to see her other friends with tears in their eyes. and her brother with his mouth agape. 


"Anthony, close your mouth. You'll catch flies." 


The Italian boy shut his mouth and cleared his throat. 


"Luna..." 


Something hit the floor and the chat went dead. 


The group at the Barton house laughed as Luna went around and hugged her friends.
