Summary: Time traveling and saving the universe can go right, but it can also go horribly wrong...

Well, turns out, time traveling isn't as easy as the avengers originally thought.

Luckily, a certain genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist showed up.

Tony managed to fix the whole problem, making it one step easier to get everyone back.

...

,,Okay, no messing around, we only have enough pym particles to get each of us in and out once plus one test round"

Scott explained.

All the remaining Avengers which found time to gather in the facility wore suits, which allowed them to enter the quantum realm.

The plan was to retrieve each of the infinity stones to undo the blip.

Alena, Clint and Natasha had the task to secure the soul stone on a planet named vormir.

The 19 year old was confident that they would succeed, they were the avengers after all.

Everyone stood in a circle, ready to proceed with their mission.

,,See you in a minute"

Natasha smiled to her husband.

Steve gave a confident nod.

Alenas face got covered with a mask, only allowing her bright blue eyes to be shown.

Everyone else had the same mask, and before the 19 year old knew it, all of them were sucked into the quantum realm.

...

,,Take care, Okay. See you later"

Alena sighed, as she said goodbye to Rhodey and Nebula.

They were back in 2014 on Morag, where the power stone was once found by Peter Quill.

,,Hey can we hurry it up?"

Clint stressed, followed by Natasha, who added:

,,Yea, chop chop, we're on the clock."

Alena grinned, as she walked back to her Mom.

,,All that, really helpful"

Rhodey said sarcastically, making Natashas lips curl into a slight smirk.

,,You guys watch each other, Alright"

Clint asked of them, before him, Natasha and Alena got back onto their ship.

...

,,Mama? What do you think will guard the stone? I don't think it'll be just laying around, will it"

Alena inquired, a worried feeling making itself prominent inside her.

,,Don't know, свет (light). I'll promise you though, whatever it is, we'll get past it"

Natasha tried to assure her daughter, only to a certain point confident.

,,Yea, it'll be fun, we'll kick some ass, get the stone and before we know it we'll be back in 2023"

Clint added, supporting Natashas point.

,,Look, I can see vormir"

Alena suddenly pointed out, after the trio had flown in silence for a few minutes.

Clint stepped next to her.

,,Well, under different circumstances this would be totally awesome"

He announced.

They landed in front of a high cliff. None of them even dared to think what was next.

The trio had to walk for quite while though, up to the very top of the mountain.

,,Alright, this was fun"

Alena sighed sarcastically, when they were almost at the top.

,,Quit whining, мало света (little light). The less we talk, the faster we'll be out"

Natasha explained while walking past the 19 year old.

,,Bet the racoon didn't have to climb a mountain"

The younger redhead murmured, annoyance lingering in her voice.

,,Well, technically he's not a racoon, you know"

Clint informed, also walking past the redhead.

From further afar, Alena could hear her mother answer:

,,Whatever he eats garbage."

The 19 year old smirked.

,,Welcome"

A voice suddenly greeted them.

Natasha stood in front of her daughter protectively now, her gun raised.

Clint had a sword for defense.

,,Natasha, Daughter of Ivan, Clint son of Edith, Alena, daughter of Natasha. Consider me a guide to you and to all who seek the soul stone"

The voice continued. It sounded like a male.

But Alena couldn't see his face just yet.

,,Oh good, you tell us where it is then and we'll be on our way"

Natasha answered, her gun still raised and glaring at the ominous stranger.

The stranger turned to them now. But what was underneath the big, black hood made Alena let out a silent gasp.

She had never seen anything like it.

The strangers face looked like it had been skinned so that just the skull was left. Except that his skull wasn't white, no, it was a bright red.

He led them to the edge of the cliff and spoke:

,,In order to take the stone, you must loose that which you love. An everlasting exchange, a soul for a soul."

The trio looked down the high cliff, before Alena walked away from it.

She let herself fall to the ground.

Natasha sat on the rock behind her while Clint paced in circles.

,,Maybe he's making this shit up"

The archer pondered.

Natasha had a serious look on her face.

,,No, I don't think so"

The assasin replied, her hand running through Alena's hair.

Clint gave a chuckle, before he asked:

,,Why? 'cause he knows your Daddy's name?"

Alena looked up at her mom. She knew that she didn't know her fathers name.

,,I didn't"

The older redhead answered her best friends question.

,,Thanos left here with the stone ... but without his daughter"

Alena contributed. It started do dawn on her that one of them wouldn't be coming home again.

,,That's not a coincidence"

Her mother completed the thought.

Clint now looked directly at Alena and Natasha, before he sighed:

,,Yeah"

Alena got up from the floor. She glanced over at the cliff.

,,Whatever it takes"

The 19 year old concluded. She was ready to make the sacrifice for her family. For the Avengers, for Yelena, for Peter.

,,Whatever it takes"

Natasha and Clint agreed, surprising one another with their answers. 

Alena whipped her head around.

She didn't want her Mom nor Clint to jump. She knew that if one of them had to die, if one of them had to sacrifice their life so others could live, the only person left was herself.

,,If we don't get that stone, billions of people stay dead. Including Peter"

The 19 year old sighed, turning around to her Mother and Clint.

She had tears in her eyes.

,,I guess we all know who's it gonna be"

Clint nodded, side eyeing the cliff once more.

Natasha gave a nod as well.

,,I guess we do"

She agreed, tears shimmering in her eyes as she looked at Alena.

,,Я люблю тебя, мама (I love you, mom)"

The younger redhead muttered, as she ran into her Mom's arms.

,,Да, я тоже люблю тебя, мой маленький свет. Больше чем что либо. (Yeah, I love you too, my little light. More than anything.)"

The assasin answered, holding her only daughter, her baby girl tightly.

Alena looked at her Mother. She studied her emerald green eyes, which looked at her blue ones with so much love but ... protection.

,,I'm starting to think that we mean different people, Mama"

The 19 year old stated sceptically.

,,Listen, мало света (little light). For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing; Get to right here. That's all it's been about, bringing everybody back"

Natasha explained, cupping her daughters face.

,,So have I. Mama, let me do this. Dad needs you, Auntie Lena needs you, Melina and Alexei need you. I just want to bring Peter back, you hear me. That's all I want, but I can't loose either of you over this so it has to be me"

Alena desperately tried to explain, her throat starting to close up.

Natasha kissed Alena's forehead, then she hugged her.

,,I'm sorry, свет (light), but I can't let you do that"

The assasin admitted, softly but sternly. Then she walked over to Clint.

,,You heard me. This is all we've been waiting for"

Natasha explained, taking a hold of Clints hands.

The archer smiled slightly.

,,No, you don't get all decent on me now"

He stated, his grip on Natasha getting firmer.

,,What, you think I wanna do it? I'm trying to save Alenas and your lives, you idiot"

The older redhead replied, keeping a close eye on Alena to make sure she wasn't gonna jump.

Instead, the 19 year old was by their sides now.

,,Mama, Clint, I don't want you to save my life. How's that"

She insisted, seizing both their hands now.

Clint shook his head adamantly.

,,No, Alena. Natasha, you know what I've done. You know what I've become"

He explained, his eyes glistering with tears as well now.

,,You know I don't judge people on their worst mistakes"

Natasha negotiated, looking her best friend directly in the eye.

,,Maybe you should"

The archer suggested, a small smile creeping onto his face to cheer her up.

Alena, who clutched her Mom's arm, answered for her mother:

,,You didn't"

Clint stiffled his laughter through his attempt to stay strong.

,,You're a pain in my ass, the both of you, you know that"

He stated, before his and Natashas heads rested against each others and he hugged Alena.

,,Okay, you win"

He then added, seemingly accepting that either Natasha or Alena would jump.

Alena smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile.

She still wasn't gonna let her mother jump off that cliff.

Suddenly though, she was knocked off her feet and to the ground.

,,Tell your dad I love him"

Natasha smiled, one leg on Alenas chest.

,,You tell him yourself"

Clint added, as he pinned her to the ground.

Alena had gotten up in the meantime.

She was soon pinned down by clint as well.

,,Tell my Family I love 'em"

He muttered to Natasha, but she was quicker than him.

,,You tell 'em yourself"

She ordered, pointing her widows bite at him and teasing him with it.

Alena made a run for it. As long as her Mom and Clint were busy battling each other, she could make the sacrifice and be done with it.

She didn't think that Natasha still had an eye on her though.

The assasin scrambled to get up, once she realised her daughters plan.

Alena made direct eye contact with Natasha, before she launched herself off the cliff.

But, as soon as she felt herself falling, she felt a pair of arms around her body and her mothers scent filled her nose.

Natasha triggered Alenas widows bite, which had a rope attached to it.

Mother and daughter hang at the side of the cliff, but it was Alena who held on to her Mom.

,,Будь ты проклята, мама (Damn you, Mama)"

Alena swore, reaching her second hand out to Natasha.

The older redhead looked up at the younger one.

Emerald eyes met Blue ones, the emerald ones full of motherly love for the 19 year old.

,,Let me go"

The assasin cooed, looking up at her daughter.

,,No, wait, Clint is still up there, maybe-"

Alena rambled, tears forming in her eyes once more.

,,Alena, мало света (little light), look at me"

Natasha asked.

Alenas grip was loosening.

,,No, please no Mama"

The 19 year old stammered, fastening her grip, in vane.

,,Моя любовь (my love), its okay"

The older redhead assured the younger one.

Alena sniffled. She wasn't ready to let go. She didn't want her mother to do this one thing, anything but not this.

,,Please Mama"

The 19 year old pleaded, her voice shaky.

,,Я люблю тебя, моя смелая девочка (I love you, my brave girl)"

Natasha cooed, before she was ripped from Alenas hand.

,,NOOOO"

The 19 year old screamed.

She desperately tried to free herself from her rope. She had to find a way to save her Mother.

Alena covered her mouth to calm herself down. She looked up, then down, stretching her arm towards the bottom.

She could make out her mothers position, where she laid, motionless.

Not only Natasha Romanoff died that day. A part of her daughter died along with her.

A/N: Well ... Ouch.
This hurt me to write but I wanted to get it over with. The amount of time I put into this part is ridiculous, but I had to rewatch the vormir scene at least 3 times to get all the words right.
Anyways, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I have a question though; should I do another part, with Alena coming back and having to tell everyone, basically the 'Clint where's Nat scene' but with Alena in it? I personally want to, but if you don't want to read that, lmk.
Alright, that's about it from my part, stay amazing and see you around, bye :)
