(Feeling the devastation and exhaustion in Infinity War once more)
Summary:
The war ended, with Thanos fleeting from earth and one by one half of the universe disappeared. Our hero didn't stand a chance this time, now all they felt was grieve. When everything has collapsed, one name came into their mind...
What about the kid that they left before?
[Now playing: The Winner Takes It All - ABBA]
Okoye also looked around. She went upstairs to check on the situation and found a hand sticking out from under the other piece of metal.
Injured hands, wrapped in torn black cloth.
Just as Natasha started to mutter Elliot's name once more, Okoye shouted from upstairs.
“Everyone get over here now! There is a body trapped under the vibranium block!”
Everyone immediately headed upstairs. Thor and Steve stepped forward to lift the metal chunk. Natasha, standing at the back, stopped in her tracks when she saw the familiar black cloth.
Steve and Thor managed to lift the chunk of vibranium, their eyes widening when they saw who was underneath. Okoye covered her mouth, Bruce and Rhodey exclaimed in disbelief, and Rocket grimaced at the kid’s condition.
And time seemed to stop for Natasha.
At first, she didn't move, but as soon as her eyes burned and her chest ached and heaved, she ran and knelt on the floor. Her slightly trembling hands reached for Elliot's burned face. The nano-band Elliot wore on her forehead was broken, emitting small sparks of electricity. Elliot's right glove, still folded over her chest, was shattered, and the screen on her watch was dead.
Natasha cradled Elliot's drooping head in her arms and rested her forehead against hers.
"El," Natasha called softly, her voice hoarse, her breath hitching.
“Ellie,” she called again, louder this time, “Elliot! Wake up, talk to me…”
Steve closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath. Bruce was no longer able to say anything else. Rhodey looked away, feeling a tightness in his chest. Thor wasn't sure who this kid was, but seeing his friends treat him like she was so important made him feel like she was important to him too.
Okoye scans Elliot's body with the beads on her bracelet, finding that Elliot still has a heartbeat. Even though it was very faint.
“This child is still alive, her heart is still beating,” Okoye said, interrupting the Avengers’ grief.
Bruce immediately exclaimed, “What are we waiting for then? We need to take her to the hospital!”

Elliot was just a street urchin, surviving day by day as a pickpocket. That was until she made the mistake of targeting the wrong mark: Natasha Romanoff. Instead of turning her in, the Black Widow offered her a second chance.
Now, a teenage genius is stuck living with the Avengers, Elliot discovers she isn't a soldier, a super soldier, or a god.
She's just a girl with brilliant hands and an even bigger heart. While heroes save the world, someone has to stay behind and put the pieces back together.
They call her The Mender.
Unfortunately, the universe has a habit of breaking everything she loves.
I really love Natasha Romanoff. Seeing her in Doomsday is one of my biggest dreams. SO I think to myself, I can write. I'll just write a story where I can explore more of Natasha's emotion and I'll give her a kid she'd protect with her life.
... YES I wanted to see how Natasha is being a mother figure. YES I miss her so bad AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE TOO. So kindly try and read my story? :D

Tony stopped his hands upon hearing the question. But he still didn't turn around. "What was that?"
“Maybe I can be like Peter, you know. Doing missions, saving other people…” Elliot shrugged, “you know, like the Avengers?”
“You’re already part of the circus, kid. Steve said the same thing, didn't he? What else are you looking for?”
“I don’t know… Maybe a name? Or doing some real missions, like, the real ones.”
Tony finally turned around. After a moment, he realized that the one standing before him wasn’t his lab partner. It was a teenager who had yet to know what she wanted or who she really was.
“Okay,” Tony cleared his throat, “you want to be like the Avengers, doing real missions on field, and not just the technical work in the lab. Did I get that right?”
Elliot lifted her head, smiling bright. “Yeah.”
“And what kind of Avenger do you want to be? A tech user like me? Or do you want an old-fashioned weapon like Steve? Oh, I can do some experiment to try and enhance you—”
“I want to be a spy.”
Tony lifts his head and looks straight at Elliot. He sighed. “Right, I shouldn’t have asked.” The man spun in his chair, tapping his finger on the side of his forehead to mock Elliot.
Elliot smiled, a smile so similar to Natasha's that it made Tony shiver in his seat.
