Legacy Pulled An Avenger??

The base was in complete chaos. Chicago assured them that everything was fine, but the Bellas couldn’t help but freak out.

Emily, on the other hand, was completely fine.

Everyone would expect Emily to be in a complete panic, but she was as calm as Chicago. That’s because Emily Junk was mostly just a mask. See Kate Bishop, her real identity, is an Avenger in training. She gotten used to panic.

”What’s going on?” She asked Chicago, somehow becoming to voice of reason for the confused and freaked Bellas.

Chicago, who had just spoken to one of his superiors, pointed at the plane that had just landed. “They’re bringing in a critically injured Avenger.”

Kates heart dropped. Images flashed through her head of one of her friends laying in that plane, fighting for their life.

Now she was panicking. She still was calmer than the Bellas, but inside her brain was going through every possibility. Was Pietro not fast enough? Was Wanda’s magic not enough? Did Yelena get too cocky? Did Shang-Chi lose his rings? Did Peter get caught off guard? Oh please don’t let it be Peter, not after all that he had been through. Not after they already lost Phillip.

Phillip. The love of her life who they had lost not a year and a half ago. She couldn’t lose anyone else. She couldn’t.

”Who is it?” She managed to choke out.

Chicago shrugged. “I don’t know.”

Kate turned to the soldier, pure rage in her eyes. The Bellas went silent, having never seen her so serious and aggressive before.

”Goddamnit tell me who the fuck that is!” She demanded, ready to strike.

”Legacy?” Fat Amy asked, sort of scared of the younger girl.

”Tell me!” Kate yelled, ignoring Amy.

The Bellas all took a step back. They may be confused, but they’re not stupid. If looks could kill, Chicago would be a pile of ash right now.

”I don’t know.” Chicago said, raising his arms slowly in surrender. “All I know is that he has been MIA for a year and a half and they just found him.”

Kate’s face softened and she stood down. She didn’t want to, but she let the hope in. MIA. It could be Phillip. He could be alive and just have been missing. She wanted to believe it, she wanted to so bad. So, she turned around.

Sure enough, a soldier stepped off the plane, Phillip leaning against him.

Tears spilled down her cheeks before she could even realize it. “Phillip!” She screamed.

Phillip stopped in his tracks and made the soldier stop too. He turned to discover who had screamed his name and his eyes met Kate’s.

”Kate…” He whispered.

”Sir, we need to get you into surgery.” The young soldier pressed, trying to get Phillip to move.

Phillip tore away from the soldier. He could barely walk but nothing was going to keep him from his love any longer. He stumbled as he tried his best to run towards her.

Kate broke into a sprint, ignoring the confused Bellas yelling for her to come back.

The couple met halfway, Phillip collapsing into Kate’s arms, both falling to the concrete in tears. She clung to him as if her life depended on it. A year and a half of believing him to be dead and here he was, in her arms again. He was bloodier, skinnier, and sporting some stubble, but he looked the same as the day he left.

Phillip leaned up and kissed the love of his life. She was the only thing that kept him alive for the time he was missing. The memory of her was the one thing that gave him purpose. Everything he did or didn’t do was to get him to this moment when he could see her again.

”Baby…” Kate choked out, pulling away from him and looking into his forest green eyes. “I thought you were dead, we all though you were dead.”

”I’m here.” He assured not only her, but himself too. “I’m alive and in your arms again.”

Kate leaned her forehead against his as she held on to the man in her arms. “Lucky’s going to be so happy.”

He laughed at that, thinking back to his beloved golden retriever. “That damn Pizza Dog.”

it was then that the General approached. “Mr. Parker, we need to get you into surgery so your body can begin to heal itself.”

”No.” Phillip shook his head, holding Kate even tighter. “No I’m not leaving Kate.”

”We’ll make sure she is there when you wake up.” The General assured him. 

Kate lifted Phillip’s chin, forcing him to look in her eyes. “You need to go babe. I’m right here on this base and I will be here when you wake up. I’m never leaving your side again, but you need to go now so you can heal.”

Phillip nodded slowly. Kate was the only one he could trust. If she said go, he’d go.

Kate helped him up, but almost immediately, he began to fall again. They brought out a stretcher and he was lifted onto it.

”Kate, wait!” He called out as they wheeled him away. Kate ran to his side and he grabbed her hand. “Call Petey and May. Have Pietro run them here. Please.”

”I will, I promise.” She swore to him. He squeezed her hand and just like that, he was rolled away. 

She walked back to the Bellas, all of them slackjawed at the display that just occurred.

”You-“ 

“What-“

”I-“

None of them seemed to be able to put their disbelief into words. That is, until Cynthia-Rose chimed in.

”Legacy pulled an Avenger? What?” She said, putting words to what everyone was thinking.

Kate racked her brain for an explanation. “I-“

”Bishop!”

Kate spun in surprise and came face to face with Agent Maria Hill. The normally stoic woman had read eyes, it was clear she had been crying.

Hill had a soft spot for Phillip. She was assigned to investigate him when he first got his powers at thirteen. He was a broken kid when she found him, torn apart by the death of his Uncle Ben and searching for the perpetrator. She had helped him and kept tabs on him, eventually being the one to pull him into the Avengers when Loki attacked. She loved him and when he had been presumed dead, she had a breakdown and locked herself away, only answering to Natasha.

”Agent Hill.” Kate smiled, letting herself be pulled into a hug from the older woman.

When they pulled away, the two of them share a look of understanding.

See, Kate wasn’t technically undercover. Well, not anymore. She had taken on the identity of Emily Junk to scope out a target in Barden University’s administration. Yelena had been undercover with her and the two of them finished the job relatively quickly, but Kate wanted to stay. So she did and she kept her cover for convenience sake. She doesn’t need it anymore.

“Tell them.” Hill told the young archer. “As long as they don’t pose a threat, tell them.”

”Tell us what?” Beca asked. “What isn’t legacy telling us.”

”That’s up to her.” Hill shrugged. “I need to prepare for my debrief with Phillip. Are you okay?” She asked Kate.

”I am now.” Kate smiled.

Hill returned that smile. “You and me both.”

And with that, she was gone. They had an understanding and that was that.

”Em?” Chloe spoke up.

Kate took a deep breath and turned to the Bellas again. It was now or never. The secrets would be over.

”My name is Katherine Elizabeth Bishop, Kate for short, not Emily Junk. I am the new Hawkeye in training. I came to Barden under the guise of Emily Junk with my best friend Yelena in order to take out a target that was in the administration. However, after I met you guys, I wanted to stay and be a Bella. I was your only chance and I like you guys. That boy is Phillip Parker, Spider-Man. He is my boyfriend. We all thought he died a year and a half ago, but he’s alive.” A tear fell down her cheek, a happy tear. “So, yeah, that’s about it.”

”We’re friends with an Avenger?” Amy said, eyes wide. “Can we be honorary Avengers?”

”No.” Kate laughed. “Unfortunately not, but maybe I can get you into one of Tony’s parties.”

”Deal.” Amy agreed.

”I’ll answer more in a sec, just let me call Phillip’s brother and our friends.” Kate told the group before pulling out her phone.

She pressed Peter’s contact and held the phone to her ear with an anxious smile. 

“Katie?” He picked up on the third ring.

”Pete, are you with everyone?” She asked quickly.

He was quick to reply. ”Yeah we’re all here with May making brownies.”

”Special brownies!” Kate heard Yelena yell.

”She’s lying.” Peter immediately assured the archer. Since everything with Phillip, she really stepped into an older sibling roll with him.

”That’s fine, can you put me on speaker?” She asked the boy.

After a second, she heard all the noise of her friends baking together and yelling at each other.

”Guys!” She attempted to grab their attention. The line went silent.

”What’s happened?” May asked hesitantly.

Kate took another deep breath. “Well, you know how I’m at this USO tour? Well, the base we’re at just brought in an injured Avenger.” 

“Who is it?” Yelena asked quickly. Kate could tell she was thinking of Natasha.

“It’s,” Kate had to calm herself from the excitement of Phillip being back. “It’s Phillip. He’s alive.”

Aunt May audibly gasped and Kate could hear faint sobbing.

”We’ll be there in like five minutes.” Pietro told her and the line clicked.

Sure enough, five minutes later, Pietro had sped the entire group to the base.

The Bellas just stared as they watched the expression of power and then watched their friend hug and interact with these Avengers.

”Phillip is in surgery, but we can see him as soon as he is awake.” Kate informed them all. “Oh and these are the Bellas.”

The Bellas, completely awestruck, all gave small waves.

”Kate talks about you guys all the time.” The ever polite Shang-Chi told them, holding out his hand to shake. 

Some Bellas shook his hand but the others just stared.

”You broke them Kate.” Pietro laughed, earning him a smack from his twin sister.

“You’re such an annoyance, give them a second to process.” Wanda scolded the boy, who held his hands up in surrendering.

The Bellas continued to stare, all wearing the same expression that said the same thing.

Legacy is an Avenger?!?
