Morgan couldn't breathe, she couldn't remember how to breathe. It's as if every simple action she remembered was suddenly gone. She could only remember bits and pieces of what just happened. It was all a blur. 

After Amora told the boys to attack, the lights went out, replaced with the cold red lights and the stars shining in. The boys were gone in an instant. She remembered being stuck, she couldn't move, her suit was frozen. She saw the faint outline of a shrunken Miles glowing. 

Torunn's cry could be heard, but Morgan couldn't look around. James's name was released from Willa's mouth. Nicole fought Nate right in front of her. Nicole was the only one fighting back. Morgan wanted to scream out for them all to stop, but the boys were overcome with Amora's spell and the girls were trying to survive.

"This is where it all ends," A husky voice said behind her. "I will kill you all." 

"You won't win," Morgan replied. 

"I just did." That was the last thing she remembered before she was crushed. Her body numb in pain, her eyes slowly closing. 

When she came to her suit was reactive, but the blocks on her kept her still. Her eyes were threatening to close again. She wanted to sleep, nothing else seemed as appealing. 
"MORGAN!" She could have sworn her father's voice was there, but her father wasn't there. No, he was out fighting. 

"Nicole?!" That was a hill, she knew that too well from when Hill yelled at them. Why were they In her dreams? 

"James!" Natasha was there too! And Steve. Morgan painfully tried opening her eyes to see what was going on. Why couldn't they calm down? 

"Ms. Stark, I advice you to stay still," Commented Matea. "It seems as if your injuries include a minor concussion and minor bleeding on the left side of your body. It seems as assistance will be needed for you to continue on." 

"What happened?" 

"I apologize, but it seems as my systems were shut down." 

"Are the others okay?" 

"There is currently no trace of Nate, Miles nor James," She said. "Sarah, Hugh, and Elliot are currently in lockdown in Mr. Starks underground bunker." 

"And Nicole and Willa?" 

"They are in a similar state as you are, they are located on the south side of the house. Would you like me to point your location to your father?" 

"I want to sleep," She mumbled as her head fell down in the suit.  

"I do not suggest that. I have notified your father." She said. "Allow me to help." That being said, Matea turned on the cooling system in her suit to lower Morgan's body heat. "Help is coming Ms. Stark."

The boys stood there, looking like robots if anyone looked at them, Their personalities drained from them. Amora sat in front of them on a throne fit for a queen. 
"You know," Amora spoke looking at them. " I was going to kill you all. Have you kill each other, but a thought occurred to me. Do you know what would make those pesky avengers feel even worse than just killing you? Have you kill them." 

Amora watched in satisfaction as none of the boys objected to her, none spoke back. If only all men in the world could be under her spell. Soon. Very soon. 

"James step forth." James's body walked forward. A hollow shell of what it once was. "Did it feel good to choke that girl's life out?" She snapped her fingers and suddenly James was back. "Tell me boy, did you like watching the life drain from her eyes." 

"She's still alive," James said, he looked around managing his surroundings. "What did you do to them?" 

"She's alive for now." Amora corrected. "I didn't do anything for them. I simply opened their eyes. You were tough you know? Took me a moment to take over your mind." 

"What do you want from me?" James asked ignoring them. 

"Isn't it obvious? I want your parents to suffer! To feel the pain they put me through, I want them to know it, revel in it! It will happen. By your hands." 

"They are going to stop you, they are the Avengers. They won't let anyone stop them from stopping you." He glared. 

"I hate boys who talk too much. Now, remember, you are their children. They will do anything for you, and if that means letting me win, then that's how it will be. Now, go back in line." Her fingers snapped and James fell back under her spell. Amora's face broke out into a smirk. Her plan was going to come together very perfectly.

Natasha was going to hyperventilate, scream, and murder someone all at the same time. Tony's once perfect home was now broke, the roof was gone, the upper house crashed into the ground, and there was no sign of her kids.

"James! Sarah!" Steve yelled out as Natasha jumped over fallen pieces of the home to look for a sign of them. Tony was about to call again but Jarvis interrupted him. 

"Mr. Stark, The younger three kids have been located in your safe bunker. I will keep them locked up until the matter is solved." Natasha sighed, a pain in her heart cooled down, but James was still nowhere to be seen. "Ms. Stark's tracker in her suite was just activated she is in need of medical." 

"And James?" Natasha asked.

"None of the boys are on the property, Willa and Nicole need medical as well they are on the south side of the building." Bucky, Sam, and Maria immediately took off to see their kids. Wanda was in medical with Bruce and Betty at the compound.  Thor and Sif stayed back with Scott and hope to find the location of the enchantress. Although the fear of the kid's safety was weighing on their shoulders. 

Tony, Steve, and Natasha went to Morgan's location and saw her suit glowing under a bunch of rocks. "Morgan!" Tony cried out. "Cap help me lift this." 

"Mr.Stark, Morgan is experiencing extreme pain in her hip, the pressure of the rocks is keeping her stable," 

"What do you suggest then? We can't leave her down there," 

"If Ms. Romanoff is able to apply pressure on her leg before removing her will reduce the pain." Natasha immediately went to her leg, bare of the suit, and pressed her hand under the rock and on her wound. 

"All is clear," Natasha said and then Steve and Tony shared a look before pulling the rock up with all of their strength. They tossed it to the side and Tony immediately came to his daughter.

"Morgan are you okay?" he asked. 

"Dad?" Matea opened Morgan's suit so she can look at her father. "I am okay. A little sore,  a little tired." 

"You scared the hell out of me," Tony said, he sighed. Natasha tied a piece of cloth around Morgan's leg to stop the bleeding before asking her the question that's plagued in her mind. 

"Where is James? What happened?" 

"It was a complete blur. Amora came and suddenly," Her voice faded as she tried recalling what happened. "It was like the boys weren't there even if they were standing right in front of us. Then the lights went out, I was frozen. I heard the boys attacking Torunn, Nicole, and Willa. James was hurting Nicole. She cried for him to stop." Morgan was crying now, not believing what had gone down even if it was coming from her mouth. 

"Amora had them under a spell." 

"This is fucking great!" Natasha said. 

"Natasha-" Steve tried but Natasha didn't let him talk. 

"Don't Natasha me, you know why she took them right? Because she knows we won't hurt them. She knows she can beat us. She's gonna make those boys attack us, Steve! We can't do a damn thing about that." 

"Hey, she isn't going to win. We are going to get those boys back you hear me!" 

"How exactly are we supposed to do that?" Tony asked. "We can handle villains like Loki or even fucking Thanos, but guess what? We can't handle this one. She's using our weaknesses, our children! How are we supposed to beat her in such an unfair value." 

"Like we always do," Steve said. "Together." 

"Steve we can't fight our son!" Natasha said. "She is gonna make him hurt us! We have to let him because we can't hurt him." 

"We don't even know why she has them!" Steve tried defending his side. 

"Like hell, we don't Steve! She's using this against us! You know she is, so stop acting like you're clueless!"  

"She said this was the end," Morgan said, "I stood there and listen to those boys, my friends, beat the crap out of us, they aren't they boys you used to know. Maybe if you can't fight them let us." 

"No, we aren't doing that." 

"Dad you trained us! We had training!" 

"No, not properly." 

"We did! We went behind your backs and got training." The three adults froze and looked at Morgan. Her life flashed before her eyes. 

"Excuse me, you did WHAT?" Her father had never really yelled at her like this before, it made her take a step back. "Morgan we had an agreement." 

"No we didn't, it was just what you all wanted. You didn't even consult us about it! If it wasn't for the Runaways then we would have never even used our powers." 

"The Runaways? You got advice from a group called the Runaways? You have to be kidding me right now." Tony mumbled in annoyance. He put a patch on Morgan's suit, which allowed her suit to regenerate. "You are going to go home you hear me?" 

"We have Nicole and Willa on the jet, Jarvis is going to take them to a safe area," That was Maria walking towards them. The littles are already on the jet as well. Morgan, you should go catch up with them." 

"No, I wanna help. Dad" She turned to her father. "Those are my friends, my team! I should be the one out there helping." 

"No. You are a kid. A kid who is acting too much like me. Now go get your ass on the jet now Morgan. We can handle this." 

"Like hell, you can! None of you are going to be able to do what's necessary. Let us go in!" 

"You almost got killed last time you faced her. Trust me you're only alive because she allowed it." Natasha said crossing her arms. 

"But we are better prepared now. Don't you believe in us?" 

"Of course we do," Tony said. "But that's not what this is about. This isn't your battle Morgan. So go with Jarvis. You hear me?" 

"But Dad-" 

"Morgan this isn't an argument. Go. Now." Tony's voice was serious and left no room for debate. Morgan wanted to help but she knew there was no winning this battle, so in defeat, she started walking toward the jet, her hip already feeling much better. 

"So what is the plan?" Sam asked. "Because as much as I love our on the whim battles, this one seems to be a bit more delicate." 

"Sam's right," Bucky said. "We already lost Wanda, she not gonna be able to fight this battle." 

"Jarvis will start tracking the kid's suit, and until then we need a good plan," Tony said looking at Steve. "This one is on you Cap," 

This fight had so many different levels, the stakes were higher. They needed to think this one through. One wrong move could cause an endless disaster. This was it. He looked up at his team and knew what had to be done.

Willa sat in the back of the jet, Sarah leaning on her, trying to relax. That was insane, Miles came out of nowhere, but she couldn't stop him, she didn't want to hurt him. The rage in his eyes made her shudder. 

Nicole was with her little brother on the floor, trying to relax her breathing. Torunn looked out the jet window with much thought running through her eyes. Elliot was asleep in the back of the jet. 

"Morgan the plan is turning," Willa said when she noticed. Morgan sat upfront but could hear Willa from where she sat. 

"I know. I change the coordinates." Morgan said not looking up. 

"Where are we going?" Nicole asked, sharing the same confused look as Willa had. 

"We are going to save our team." 

"Excuse me?" Nicole asked. "As much as I'd love to save them, we have our siblings here, we almost died! We aren't equipped to do this." 

"Relax. Jarvis can hide the jet so the kids stay hidden." Morgan looked over at the girls. "We are a team. We are supposed to fight together. We can't leave one another behind. I am doing this so you are either with me or you're not. Choose now." 

The three girls shared a look. This wasn't some training exercise. This was real life. People, their friends, lives were on the line. They haven't even been on a real mission. This was it. This was everything. 

"I am with you." Morgan was surprised that Torunn was first to show her support. "I know that I am not apart of your team, but I want Amora gone just as much as you do, she is from my home, she wants to hurt my father, and mother. So I am with you," Morgan nodded at her, there was something else, and Morgan feared it had to do with Torunn's prophecy. But she really didn't have the time to think about that. All she could do was nod in appreciation. 

"I am with you too," Nicole smirked. They all looked at Willa. 

"Well, I hate for you all to have all the fun." Willa joked nervously. "I am with you." 

"Great. Now let's go clean up after those boys." 

I finally am able to post on this book again! Longest month ever!
