Returned

(Maddie's)

Her sickle changed into a black umbrella and a cigar in the other hand. Killian changed into a black suit and held an ash tray and the umbrella for her.

As she took her first puff, we all transported to Earth.

Once there we stood in meadow. Death and Killian faced the other side with Killian holding the umbrella over himself and his wife, mostly on his wife, and her ash tray.

"I'm back bitches!" I exclaimed. "Wrong side Pheonix." Killian corrected as Death laughed at my mistake.

I turned around and was atleast 5 meters from Dad, Wanda, Pietro, Bucky and Steve.

Earlier that Day...
Bucky's POV

Today marks her 3rd death anniversary and the pain was still fresh. In her box she told me to move on but how could I find someone to love as much as I loved her?

I was in her room and laying on her bed as I examined her promise ring. I would cry once in a while about her death but refused to speak about it with anyone.

The nightmares grew worse after her death, happening almost every night. With HYDRA and her death, and once in a blue moon her just there as if reaching me beyond the grave.

There was a knock on the door that snapped me out of my thoughts. I placed the ring in my pocket before sitting up to which the door opened to reveal Steve folding his arm and leaning on the frame.

"I knew you would be here. What's up?" He asked raising off of it and approaching me. "Nothing just checking something." "Sure." He didn't buy anything. "We have a meeting."

"Oh." I got off the bed and left the room with him and headed to the meeting room in silence.

Anastasia and Thor got married around a year ago and were in Asgard dropping off their kid, Idun. Surprisingly Loki would help the avengers once in a while.

We were now at the room and I entered to see Wanda, Pietro and Tony in there. Once I entered and took a seat Tony and Steve began the meeting.

Tony and I would rarely talk, not on the point that he still had a grudge on me for killing his parents but for the bond the both of us had on Maddie and it just felt off to talk it out.

She was in other words the string that tied us together.

"There is a surge of energy in a meadow not too far from here. We're not sure who caused it or what but it definitely isn't any magic we know of."

"Sounds a little like that day." Pietro mumbled eating a snack but everyone heard it and the mood just dampened.

No one spoke of that day for anything but we all know about it.

Tony cleared his throat before beginning. "So we're going to check it out and make sure it isn't anything of much concern." Everyone agreed and I was the first one out.

Missions were the only thing that kept my mind from her.

After a while we were there. There was a black puff of smoke forming at a certain spot which took the form of three beings.

Steve readied his shield, Tony suited up, Wanda formed her magic, Pietro tightened his shoe's lace and I loaded my gun.

From the smoke appeared a man, a taller woman and a girl around Maddie's height facing the other side.

"I'm back bitches." The shorter woman began. She sounded like Maddie which lowered our guard a little and made us exchange a questioning glance.

"Wrong side Pheonix." The male stated as the one next to him laughed at the shorter one's mistake. She turned around glared at the darker woman a little before facing us.

Third person POV
Present time...

The excitement Maddie had on her face drained as she was face to face with her past members. The team was frozen in place.

"Damn are humans sentimental." Death sighed taking a puff of smoke. "Its Maddie. The same one who died. Not some delusion you all are having. She switched items to come back." She cleared things up.

Tears formed in Maddie's eyes as Bucky walked them ran to her, hugging her by her waist and spinning her around as he held onto her tightly.

He held onto her tightly as she held onto him as well. The team were just as happy and dashed over to her, Pietro being the first.

They all hugged her tightly with Wanda crying happy tears. Tony was last and had happy tears running down his face.

"Hey dad." Maddie greeted emotion thick in her voice.

Tony approached his daughter, retracted his suit and hugged her just as tight as Bucky did. They hugged for a while before separating. Tony, Steve, Nat and Pietro all noticed Death and approached her.

Once Tony left Bucky brought her back into a hug not wanting to let go.

"So you spared her as well?" Tony asked. "I mean it was her terms-" "Thank you." Death was stunned. "You're most welcome and I know of my great power. Don't die again." Death spoke to the resurrected 5.

"Come on Killian." She ordered almost with a smile turning and taking a few steps forward with Killian following her.

She puffed a smoke from her cogar before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
