Liliah Rogers

105

" Your kidding?" Carolina asked amused.
" No, no I'm serious. Me and my twin brother set of fireworks in my school as a send away." Fred told her.
Carolina laughed and lend back into the couch. Fred smiled and continued to eat his chocolate frog. It's been about two weeks of them dating and it was going incredibly well.

" Tell me more about your adventures." Carolina said.
" Well umm one time me, George- that's my twins name- and Liliah snuck into the kitchen and made a huge chocolate cake-" Fred started.
" Wait who's Liliah?" Carolina asked just as the fire placed roared.
" Oh umm one of my friends from school. She passed a while ago." Fred looked down.
Carolina reached over and grabbed his hand comfortingly.
" I'm sorry for your loss." She rubbed her thumb over his hand.

" Traitor." A voice said.
They looked up and saw Cedric a few steps out of the fireplace looking at them.
" Cedric- I-" Fred stood up.
See why Carolina and Fred have been having a good relationship so far was no one knew. Not even George.
" I came for the pictures of Liliah. Remember for Friday. The anniversary of her death, or did you forget?" Cedric asked bitterly.

" No of course I didn't forget. The pictures are in the closet down the hall." Fred pointed down the hall.
" Last time I was here they were still in your room. Remember the one you shared?" Cedric folded his arms across his chest.
" Freddie, what is he talking about?" Carolina asked.
" Nothing. Can I talk to you for a second?" Fred said.

Cedric raised his eyebrows and walked dow the hall. Fred followed and made sure they were out of earshot.
" What the fuck is the matter with you?!" Fred asked.
" Me? What the fuck is the matter with you? Bringing her here into Liliah's home." Cedric asked.
" It's my home to. Especially with George not living here anymore." Fred told him.
" So when we're you going to tell her about you and Liliah? When she found your engagement ring or when she finds literally any photo of you two together?" Cedric asked.

" We've only been dating for two weeks." Fred defended.
" So that's why you called Liliah your friend? A friend Fred are you shitting me?" Cedric said.
" What do you want from me Cedric? You want me never to move on? You want me to be alone forever?" Fred asked getting upset.
" No. I want you to respect my best friend. I want you to fully move on from her then get a girlfriend. Not toss her memory out the window for a woman you've been dating for two fucking weeks Fredrick." Cedric poked him in the chest with his finger.

" I'm not tossing her away. I think about her all the time." Fred told him.
" That's why you picked a girl that looks the exact opposite as her?" Cedric asked looking at Carolina.
Fred looked at her.
" No." Fred shook his head.
" Doesn't matter. I'll see you on Friday. And do not bring her. Or it will your death anniversary as well." Cedric grabbed the box and walked to the fireplace.

He flooed away and Fred walked back to Carolina.
" Sorry about that." He says back down.
" Everything okay?" She asked.
" Of course. Why don't you tell me some of your stories?" Fred smiled.
Carolina smiled and started talking. Fred tried at listen but just examined her. She wasn't the complete opposite of Liliah. Well okay Carolina does have icy blue eyes while Liliah had bright green eyes.

Carolina's hair was the exact opposite from Liliah's. Hers was straight, long, shiny without a hair out of place. Liliah hair was wavy, on the shorter side and the messy mop of hair ever. Also their skins are different. Carolina looked like a porcelain doll, flawless. While Liliah had a bit of a tan shade to her skin and it was covered in tiny freckles. Carolina lips were perfectly shaped and straight, unlike Liliah who's lip were pouty. And the smiles are no where near the same. Carolina's smile is perfect, perfect white teeth, and no lines on her face when she smiled. While Liliah had a bit of a lopsided smile and her eyes squinted when she smiled.

Carolina was perfect, she was the obvious choice. She was perfect in every single way, except one. She wasn't Liliah.

" Alright gloves ready. The question is who's going to snap their freakin' fingers?" Rocket asked.
" I'll do it." Thor started walking over to it.
" Excuse me?" Tony asked.
" It's okay." Thor waved them off.
" Woah woah woah." Steve placed his hand up,
" Stop stop slow down." Tony said.
" Thor just wait. We haven't decided who's going to put that on yet." Steve told him,

" I'm sorry. What, we're all just sitting around. What, waiting for the right opportunity?" Thor asked.
" We should at least discuss it." Scott said.
" Look, sitting her staring at the thing is not going to bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger okay. So this falls on me." Thor explained.
" Normally you'd be right." Tony cut in.
" Shush shhhh shhh just let me-" Thor said over him.

" Just- just let me do it. Let me do something good, something right." Thor pleaded.
" Look it's not just the fact that, that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a continent. I'm telling you, your in no condition." Tony told him.
" What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?" Thor asked.
" Cheese whiz?" Rhodey guessed.
" Lightning." Thor said.
" Yeah." Tony nodded.
" Lightning." He repeated.

" Lightning won't help you pal. It's gotta be me. You saw what those stones did to Thanos. They almost killed him. None of you could survive." Bruce explained.
" And how do we know you will?" Steve asked,
" We don't. But the radiations mostly gamma. It's like I was made for this." Bruce told them.

They all looked at each other and came to a silent agreement. Bruce grabbed the glove.
" Ready to go?" Tony asked.
" Let's do it." Bruce nodded.
" Okay remember everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago you're just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years." Tony told him.
" Got it." Bruce nodded.

Everyone stepped back and put on their suits to protect them.
" Every body comes home." Bruce said as he started to put it on.
He put it all the way on and the stones energy started to rush through his veins. Bruce yelled in pain and went down to his knee.
" Take it off! Take it off!" Thor yelled.
" No wait. Bruce are you okay?" Steve asked.
" Talk to me Banner." Tony said.

" I'm okay. I'm okay." Bruce reassured.
He panted and strained for a second. Then he yelled and snapped his fingers. The glove fell off and he clasped on the floor.

Wakanda

Liliah's eyes snapped open and she gasped for air. She sat up and looked around. She was still in Wakanda, but it seemed different.
" Dad!?" Liliah called.
Then a yellow ring appeared and a man with a red cloak stepped out.

" Liliah Rogers. I'm doctor Stephen Strange. We've been gone for five years and the Avengers need our help." He told her.

" What the fu-"
