The Ending of Agatha All Along + KOF AllStar

[dr-cassie-mckay]

"In the end, all roads lead to me."

AGATHA ALL ALONG | Death’s Hand in Mine Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal / Death

[haydenthewitch]

Head cannon that Rio can go to the afterlives of the souls she's collected. And most of the time, she doesn't. Too many names, Too many faces, too many people to rember. Should she start to care, it would be too much for her. That is, until she meets Agatha. The first time she sees her, Agatha is standing over a dead coven- and Rio feels herself grow curious. As the bodies pile up, and Rio encounters her over and over, she slowly falls in love, delaying taking souls to their final destination for as long as she can, trailing Agatha. When the finally meet, face to face, Agatha tells her that she knew something was trailing her! in a tone that is so Agatha Rio can't even deny it any longer, she is in love. When Nicky is born, Agatha pleads with her, and she knows that she's going to break Agatha's heart one day.

And then that day comes. And Agatha mourns.

And Rio does something she's never done before; she goes and greets a soul. Nicky's soul. And they bond and laugh together, companions in the afterlife, and Rio makes a point to visit as often as she can. And some centuries she gets busy, in times of great plague and great wars. But she never goes more than a year or two without a visit to Nicky. She Brings news of his mother, when he asks, telling him all about the country's she's seen, and the life she's living. She makes a point to tell him how proud his mother is of him. She tells him some of the truth, saying that his mother spread their song so far and wide that every witch on the globe knows it. She leaves out the part about his mother committing large amounts of murder. She tells him about how his mother thinks of him, all the time. How she still wears a pendant with his hair in it, and she wears it everyday.

Had Agatha gone to the afterlife, Nicky and Rio would be waiting at the edge, to greet her into rest. Of course, she didn't do that. She went back to the living. Rio Knows that Agatha knows how much she hates ghosts. They insult her. If Rio wasn't so sure in Agatha's avoidance of her son, she might think it was just to spite her. She tells Nicky that, anyways. Tells him that Agatha didn't want to come with her to the afterlife because of how betrayed his mother felt when Rio took him. That only makes Nicky angry, though. Because He knows Rio, Knows her like she's his other mother, has forgiven and understood Rio for ages now! Why can't his mother forgive? Why doesn't she want to see him?

And through tears, Rio tells him that he would never understand, because being a mother without her child is like a gaping wound that never heals. Because Being a mother was Agatha's favorite job in life, and she's had many. Because if someone took Nicky from Rio, She would grieve for the rest of eternity. She would never forgive.

Imagine what Erik’s death in the Logan universe must’ve been like - especially now that we know about Rio Vidal/Lady Death who is most likely a unique figure whose power extends through the whole multiverse, and about the existence of ghosts and her dislike of them. So maybe when Erik died in that world, suddenly and abruptly with nothing to prepare Charles for it, his soul - which probably looked like his younger self - left his body and then floated above it, and saw Charles holding him and crying and pleading and starting to lose control. Then Rio appeared and told Erik it was time to go, but then Erik saw the Westchester Incident immediately unfold, the seizure consuming Charles and all the people in the vicinity including the X-Men freezing in agony and refused, yelling at Rio that he was not ready and couldn’t leave Charles now; he needed him. So without his consent, Rio had to let him linger as a ghost. So then Erik’s ghost stayed by Charles’ side and saw Rio take the souls of the dead X-Men away but refused their pleas for him to accompany them. Then all through the events of the film, Erik was there next to Charles, in that desolate world with no witches or wizards to help him make himself seen or heard, trying so hard to communicate with Charles only to realize not even Charles’ powers could pierce the veil between them and he could not hear the minds of ghosts. Then he saw X-24 approaching Charles in the dark and tried with all his might to stop X-24, to snap that adamantium skeleton in two and throw that monster 100 ft away from his husband, but his powers were useless since he no longer had a physical form to channel them through so he was completely helpless. Then as Charles died and left his own body, his soul moved, young and free from paralysis and mental damage and yet he couldn’t even acknowledge what that felt like because he saw Erik, right there, with outstretched arms. Then, now oblivious to Logan and Laura, and only aware of each other, they hugged and kissed and both wept with apologies, Charles thinking he was a monster for killing the X-Men and fearing Erik hated him and wouldn’t forgive him for killing mutants after all the work they both did to save mutants, and Erik blaming himself for the entire thing and apologizing for dying when he did and breaking Charles’ heart again and causing Charles to think he left him again and being unable to reach him and tell him he hadn’t left, that he wouldn’t leave, that he defied Death herself to stay with him, but of course they forgave each other instantly. Then Rio reappeared and, with no resistance or complaints from them, took them away together.

Marvel Comics’ ‘Death’

As any good fanfic writer does (or would like to do if they had the time or maybe even doesn’t like to do, no shade here) I wanted to do some more research on my characters when writing stuff. I knew that the Comics version of Death was going to be very different from the MCU version but we know so little about the MCU version so far that I thought I’d look for some hints.

I think I’ve been left with more questions than answers.

(Seriously, does anyone know how all the different high powered things work? How the heck can the Watcher exist alongside Infinity, Eternity and Death, and then there are the celestials and the Eternals and I am just so confused…)

I had thoughts while looking at all of this and I thought I’d break it down with you guys incase anyone wants to be confused/fancies a laugh. This is all from the Marvel Fandom page.

So in other words Death looks like nothing and everything… great

Alive; formerly deceased is the best descriptor ever.

Abruptly followed by occupation as a drug store employee 🤣🤣

Cool. And/or sibling…?

Sorry Thanos, don’t think you’ve got the right equipment there to ‘satisfy’ Death. I had to, I’m sorry (not really)

Ok so this is the opposite of the MCU version, comics Death can do whatever she wants with dead people - get your heads out the gutter!

This however is similar to the MCU version, becoming human to understand humanity. I don’t think she is fully human in the MCU either though.

Energies merged is a great way to say that… Rot and Nicholas, they work great as a sibling pair don’t they? 🤣🤣

Dude. You are all not winning here. I’m totally picturing her sitting all these men down, ‘so, there’s this witch…’

Ok, this makes sense, I’ll allow it

And then we are back to Death can do whatever the f*** she wants

The powers we end with make sense, - they aren’t going to add cause I’ve reached the limit for photos but they are basically ability to control anything they want to although often they don’t due to the risks of making a big mess, and their ability to appear in a way most soothing to someone as they die.

Most of this can be worked with, but the whole cosmic entities list being a mile long is migraine inducing as are the apparent lack of rules.
