Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

Chapter 95

"Thor, hey, easy!" I told him, before turning. "Do you think it's possible, Clint?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Can't get her back." Thor looked confused.

"W-what's he-? What-"

"It can't be undone," Clint said, confirming my fear. "It can't." However, I remember the whole reason why I had wanted to do this in the first place. Maybe...maybe it can be. I looked at all of my hurting friends. But I can't promise them if I'm not even sure myself. Still...I can try.

Thor, however, laughed a little. "Look, I'm sorry, no offense, but you're a very earthly being, okay? And we're talking about space magic. And can't seems very definitive, don't you think?"

"Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my...my paygrade, here, but she still isn't here, is she?" 

"No, that's my point."

"It can't be undone," Clint insisted. "Or that's, at least, what the red floating guy had to say! Maybe you want to go talk to him, okay!? Go grab your hammer and you go fly and you talk to him!" Clint yelled. I knew he was only angry out of pain. "...It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for the goddamn stone. She bet her life on it!" I frowned, wishing I could help, but not sure if I could.

Bruce angrily grabbed a bench and threw it as far as he could into the water. I watched silently. He turned toward all of us. "She's not coming back...we have to make it worth it." I nodded. "We have to." Steve stood up.

"...We will." 

"Then let's go," I said. "Let's make it worth it." Steve turned to Tony.

"Are we ready?" He nodded.

"As we'll ever be." 

All of us headed back inside and Rocket, Bruce, Tony, and I worked together to create our own gauntlet to let us use the stones the same way Thanos did. The stones all came together and we all braced, nervous. However, nothing happened. Well, other than Rocket trying to scare us by yelling,

"BOOM!" All of us jumped a little and he chuckled to himself. I rolled my eyes. Real mature, dude. 

"Alright, everyone...it's showtime," I told them all, looking around at my friends. We all knew the risk, but it was time to take a chance.

"Call everybody in," Tony told me and I nodded before heading to get everyone. 

Once everybody was together, we had to decide who would do it. I knew what I would have to do, but the first snap couldn't be me or I would die. I needed to wait for something else. Not to mention, since it did almost kill someone the last time, having some healing energy would be our safest bet. If it was going to do it this time too, I needed to have my full strength to revive them.

"Alright, the glove's ready," Rocket said, making the final adjustments and looking it over one more time. "Question is, who's gonna snap their freakin' fingers?"

"I'll do it," Thor said, standing up and coming over eagerly. That made me a little weary. I didn't know if that was a good idea. In fact, I would bet against it first.

"Excuse me?" Tony asked, most likely thinking the same sort of thing as I was.

"Thor, buddy, maybe not this time," I told him. 

"It's okay!" He assured, completely confident, probably more so than he should've been.

"Stop, stop! Slow down!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Tony and Steve stopped him quickly. "Thor, just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet," Steve told him, trying to get him to stand down.
