'CHANGE IS INTEVITABLE.'

Change happens every day, it must for humanity to evolve. And what that change brings is different for everyone. For the able to change means that one can adapt, and if you adapt: you survive. The survival of the fittest, is really the chain of people that were okay with all the new and embraced its cold exterior. Haelia Stark was not one of those people.

《》

The painted grey sky deemed and gloomed at the blood stained ground below it. Stark Tower hovered above the ground, it's sign was completely destroyed; pieces of it on the stuck in ground.

As Steve helps up Haelia, he pulls her into a hug. The tears falling from her face left a stained trail that broke the captains heart. Her sobs filled the air, until she hears Steve's voice.

"Son of a gun!"

Steve pulls Haelia gently, forcing her to look up towards the sky. She lets out a haste laugh through her sobs. But she quickly stopped when she noticed her father was not slowing down. As Tony Stark dropped excessively from the sky, Haelia began to worry once more.

"He's not slowing down!"

Thor responds quickly, grabbing Mjolnir and shooting up into the sky. But just as he does, Bruce Banner(The Hulk) shoots up just before him. As he grabs Stark the two crash down into the side of a building, landing near Bridge Street. As the Hulk throws him from his shoulder, Thor, Steve and Haelia come running.

As Thor rips off Iron Man's helmet, Haelia falls to the ground next to him; her arms wrapped around him.

"Dad" She sobbed into his cheat once she realized how bad his injuries were. Steve places a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it protectively.

The Hulk seemed to not like all of the sorrow around him. He yells in a fitted rage, which awakes Tony with a start.

"What the hell? What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me?"

Haelia let's out another happy sob as she hugs Tony tightly.

Tony turns to his only child, a soft and remorseful look on his face. He places his right hand on top of her head, her hair matted with blood and dirt.

"Hey baby" He whispers to his daughter

She smiles as she hugs him tighter before pulling away and smacking his arm

"Ow!"

"Don't ever do that again!" Haelia barks at him

Tony smiles at his daughter before nodding. He looks above her to see Captain America, standing protectively over his daughter

"We won"

Tony nods and chooses to ignore the Captains' stance over Haelia as he talks.

"Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it. "

Haelia laughs gently at her father. Steve holds out a hand to her and she takes it. She blushes slightly, her face only a few inches away from Steve's. He smiled at her, but Thor interupts the scene.

"We're not finished yet. A beat." Thor states as he looks up to the remains of Stark Tower.

"And then sharwma after." Tony says as Thor helps him from the ground.

A few hours later

The demolished streets of New York pained Haelia deeply as she ran through them. As she concentrated, the large pieces of the debrief lifted into the air, a beautiful blue laced itself around the floating concrete.

Haelia smiled as she neatly set aside the all the destruction, carefully staking the concrete against the side of a nearby building. She stops when she hears the small cries of a child from behind her.

She runs over and gently picks up the broken building on top of the cries. As she removes the debrief, piece by piece, it reveals a small girl, no older than five, trapped underneath. Her cries and sobs broke Haelia's heart.

"Oh honey, it's okay." She says calmly

The little girl looked up at her, her tear stained eyes red and puffy. Her dark brown hair was a tangled mess, her clothing torn and bloody.

"Your going to okay, alright honey. Can you tell me your name?" Haelia asked gently

The little girl nods a her freckled face turned soft as she spook to Haelia.

"Hazel. My name is... is Hazel."

Her voice was weak and trembled, Hazel's green eyes were sad and watery.

"Well, My name is Haelia."

Haelia gave Hazel a sad smile. She croched down next to the child.

"Do you know where your parents are?"

Hazel looks down at the ground, her eyes beginning to tear up again. Haelia frowns at her, placing at reassuring hand gently on her shoulder.

"Hey, that's okay. Tell you what, I'll take you to the hospital that's right down this road-"

Haelia states, pointing to the end of the street where New York Hospital stood tall, almoat completely unaffected by the damage.

"Where the doctors will take a look at you and make sure your okay. And while they do that, I see if I can't find your parents."

Hazel doesn't respond for a few moments, until she nods carefully. Haelia opens her arms, reaching to pick her up from the debrief. She whimpers quietly as Haelia gently picks her up. The little girl wraps her arms around Haelia's neck, squeezing tightly.

Haelia looks down and realizes that she is now covered in blood. Her face turns pale. She quickly closes her eyes, a blue light danced around the two girl.

Hazel watched in shock as the world around her disappeared. She blinked and realized that she was suddenly in a new place, Haelia Stark still holding her tightly.
