You couldn’t tell how much time it had been; in fact, you didn’t even care to know. All you knew was that you had been stuck in The Watchover for over a month.
You’d told yourself, “Surely they’ll find closure within a week.” However, that was not the case.
While almost all the other Avengers in the compound had indeed found closure within two weeks or so, two people stubbornly refused to let go: Yelena and Kate.
The two girls had found comfort in each other a few days after your death, but they still weren’t willing to let go. They still moped around, unwilling to train or chat with the others.
Yelena had definitely lost some skills. Whenever she did go to training (which was about one every month), she was sloppy and uncoordinated which only made her more frustrated.
Kate had lost accuracy. She trained even less often than Yelena and had lost a lot of skill with her bow. She was lucky to even get in the eight ring at this point.
You wished the two would stop and let go, but at the same time you understood. When the team lost Natasha, you had a gnawing pit of despair in your stomach that never seemed to go away.
——————————————————
The day you were finally freed was a rainy day. Thunderstorms were in the forecast and the beating of the rain on the compound roof didn’t add to Yelena or Kate’s moods.
The two were sitting in silence in their rooms when Tony knocked lightly on the door.
“Kiddos?” He asked, seeing the two. They were definitely beaten down and hollow shells of people. Their eyes were red and their shoulders sagged with the weight of their mood.
“Tony…?” Yelena mumbled, unmoving.
“It’s me. I have something you two might wanna see,” Tony said, trying to make it sound exciting. “You up for it?”
Kate shot a glance at Yelena and the two simultaneously got up and shuffled after Tony, each girl occasionally yawning.
You followed them all the way to the meeting room. Tony had a small invention hooked up to the large holographic monitors. It was projecting… you.
“Sit, please,” Tony said as he grabbed a remote. As soon as both girls were seated Tony spoke again, “So, we found the body camera that was on Y/N the day they were killed.”
Kate looked at Yelena, and she spoke up in a practically inaudible voice. “They had a body cam on?”
Yelena nodded. “Yes.”
Tony plugged in an HDMI cord and hit the play button on the remote, stepping out of the room and shutting the doors.
The body cam showed a dark hallway and heavy breathing was heard. It was clearly you.
“Dang it, Yelena, god dang it…” you huffed as you speed-walked through the hallway. “God dang it, can’t you just agree?!”
You were nearing the corner at the end of the hallway, and Yelena bit her lip. She knew what was coming.
As you turned the corner, you could tell Yelena wanted to get up and run, but she was frozen to her seat. Kate just stared, unknowing of what was about to happen to you.
Then the HYDRA agent appeared, and your blood-curdling scream sounded.
“OH MY GOD!” Kate jumped up from her seat, eyes frozen to the screen as the camera went crazy, falling with your body.
Red splattered across the camera and Kate half-gagged at the sight. Your breathing got heavier as you struggled to fight with life and death.
“Oh my god, oh my god…” your voice sounded, “I’m gonna die.”
At those words tears began to fall down both of their faces. However, their eyes never left the monitor.
“Well, I guess…” your breathing became more labored, “I guess this is the end…”
The two blinked, unmoving.
“You know, I’ve really enjoyed being a part of this… this team,” you grunted, shifting a bit. “It’s been fun…” A moment of silence passed before you spoke again. “Well, it’d be too graphic to die on camera, right…?” Your speech started to slur.
Even with the blood, you could still see your fist about the destroy the camera, but then Yelena’s figure came into view.
“Y/N? Y/N!” Yelena shook you, but you were gone. She was too late.
The body cam then cut out. Yelena let out a sob, covering her face with her hands. Kate simply looked at the floor.
It was then that you felt your (what was technically non-existent) body being sucked up, and before you knew it you were staring through the glass overtop of the compound again.
Death then appeared. “Looks like they did it, finally.”
“I guess so,” you replied, watching as the others rushed and to comfort the two girls in the meeting room.
“You’re now free, Y/N Y/L/N. Enjoy your time in The Afterlife,” Death said as he waved his scythe again.
Your surroundings faded and you were transported away, into The Afterlife.
“Y/N?” Came a voice. You turned.
“Natasha?”
