Chapter 15
AN: hey guys here is the next chapter. Enjoy
Instead of telling the others Jason ran over to the closest building and started climbing and jumping up the wall. He wasn't the only one; the other members of Ariel's team were making their way there from three blocks over. Tony followed him and informed the others of where they were heading. Jason arrived first. He made his way over to the limp body that was slowly getting buried by ash. He picked her up from the shoulder, cradling her against his body.
"No, no, no, no… You aren't supposed to leave me, not this way. I am to follow you everywhere, but I cannot follow you there… Please come back to me. Please. Give her back," He shouted the last part to the heavens.
"Jason, we will do it." Noah stated softly.
"No, I will not allow you to. She would not want you too."
"It is alright, she has done more for us than anyone. It is time. We are not the ones that are supposed to live forever." Noah continued; Jason looked up at him and the four other men that were standing next to him in turn. There was a light and a man in black armour appeared, Azrael.
"What must we do for her to return Azrael?" Jason asked
"We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for her…" Noah stated and the four others echoed his sentiment.
"Very noble; Noah, Joseph, Simon and Alfred, but it is not your sacrifice that will be the price." Azrael noted solemnly.
"Then who," Noah pleaded,
Azrael looked over at Skye, but before she could say anything Jason cut in, "No it will be me." He gently kissed Ariel's forehead.
"Very well," Azrael replied. He touched his scythe on Ariel's chest "Reditum, sister." He murmured then turned and left in a blaze of light. In his place was Jason's body, limp on the ground, Ariel inhaled air desperately. Sitting up, she looked around and gathered her bearings, her eyes landed on Jason's body.
"NO." She screamed, but Noah stopped her. Knowing she could not touch him.
"Noah let me go." She cried out,
"I can't, he sacrificed himself for you. Azrael will not let you to bring him back." He soothed
"Then I will go to someone higher," Ariel reasoned.
"You know you cannot. We will bury him and then we will have to move on." Noah replied
"What about the girl?"
"You have done everything you can do. Besides finish Jason's idea." Noah commented.
He was hugging Ariel now and nodded towards the others who went and moved Jason's body. Ariel went over to Skye and Coulson.
"We have to move on now. Remember what I have taught you. You are destined for great things, but it is up to you to fulfil them. No one else can tell you what to do." Ariel turned to leave,
"Wait! What if I need your help again?" Skye called out.
"I do not think you will but if you do just call." She winked, not quite herself, and then moved back to the others. Together they disappeared. Standing in their place was Antoine Triplet. Coulson and his team stood there in shock it was Skye who broke the awkward silence by running over to him and giving him a hug.
"Thank you." She said up into the sky and a hawk flew over top. The others followed suit each coming over to embrace there once fallen comrade. Jemma in particular was happy to see him and Coulson seeming he had his ideal shield agent had returned. They had no idea how but they were very grateful.
