Everyone's attention turns to the sky. They watch as a ship emerges from the clouds.
You and Loki rush back over to the rest of the group.
After a moment a beam of light appears from the ship.
Two aliens appear,
"Greetings. I am Ebony Maw. We are the children of Thanos," one begins to say.
"We know who you are and you need to leave! There is nothing for you here." Tony yells.
Ebony smirks.
Another beam appears from the ship.
Thanos appears,
"Now that is where you are wrong," he says. He looks around the group before looking at you.
"Her." He points to you.
You grip Loki's arm.
"My child. You possess a gift I require. Join me and your life will be spared," he says.
"A life with you is not a life worth being spared," you yell.
"If you refuse to come willingly then we will take you by force," he says.
"Bring her to the ship when you are done," he says to the Ebony before he disappears back into the beam of light.
"Move aside and be spared another day; or fight and die for the halfling," Ebony says with a smirk.
"You heard the girl, she isn't leaving," Steve yells.
"So be it," Ebony replies.
The beam appears again and an army of aliens appears.
Ebony holds his hand up. He twitches his finger signaling for the small army to attack.
The army begins to run.
Everyone runs toward them. Steve throws his shield knocking one down. Thor takes several out with his hammer.
Ebony stays back watching the show. Cull, the other alien with him heads toward you.
You pulsate your power through your hands. You levitate yourself off the ground and form a ball in your hand. You throw it at him.
He moves away just in time.
He continues to walk toward you.
You land back on your feet and look around.
There are serval large pieces of metal a few yards away. You a piece with your mind power and work it toward you. Twisting your hands to bring it closer to you.
"Claire!" Loki yells as he stabs an alien.
You look up and realize it is too late.
Cull punches you, causing you to drop the equipment.
You fly a few yards back and land on your back.
Loki sees Cull knock you down and attempts to get to you. A group of aliens come at him before he can.
You slowly stand.
"Give up," Cull says to you.
You smirk,
"Not gonna happen."
You run toward him. He swings at you but you duck and slide between his legs. As you do you grab his calf and burn him.
He yells in pain.
He turns to punch you again.
You stop his fist with your mind power.
You are able to push him back as you stand back up to the ground.
He attempts to come at you again.
Before he can land a punch into the side of your head he is slammed into the ground.
You look up to Hulk smashing his fist into Cull's face.
"Thanks, big guy," you say, as you run toward the heard of aliens.
You fight alongside Cap and Natasha. Burning the as many aliens as you can.
As their numbers begin to diminish Ebony begins to get angry.
He sees you fighting and focuses his attention on you.
You look up and notice him staring at you. You begin to walk to him.
Burning aliens that come at you from the side without taking your eyes off Ebony.
He begins to panic. He picks up a metal scrap using his mind power and throws it at you. You barely are able to move out of the way.
You form a ball of fire and throw it at him. He isn't fast enough and the ball flies past his face and burns his cheek.
He raises his hand to the injury and looks at you.
He smiles,
"We will be back," he says.
Suddenly Ebony, Cull, and what is left of the army is beamed back to the ship. You watch as it leaves.
Everyone begins to cheer.
You turn smiling.
You find Loki in the back. He meets your eyes and smiles as he begins walking toward you.
You drop your smile. Pain is sent from your side.  You lower your hand and touch your side, it's wet.
You raise your hand. Blood is covering it. It drips of your hand, staining the snow below you. You get a sense of deja vu.
You look back up at Loki.
He sees your hand and the color drain from your face.
"Claire!" he yells as he runs to you.
You drop to the ground.
Tony, Steve, Bucky, and Natasha rush to you.
Loki reaches you first. He drops to the ground and presses his hand against your side.
"Claire! No, no, no! Open your eyes!" he yells at you.
You open your eyes and see him looking down at you.
"We did it," you whisper, forcing a smile.
He forces a smile as tears begin to form.
"You need to stay awake, love!" he says.
"I am so tired." Your eyelids become heavy.
"I know, but just stay with me for a moment longer," he says.
You let out a small cough. A small amount of blood comes out of your mouth.
"Stark!" Loki yells.
"Right behind you," he says. He places his glasses on.
"Edith give me stats," he says.
"Critical," she replies.
"We need to get her into the compound," he says.
Tony turns to Natasha,
"Get Banner back!" he says.
Natasha runs back to hulk.
"Hey, kid," Tony says.
You blink slowly and turn to him. You smile,
"Hey," you say slowly.
"You did great but we need to get you inside though," he says.
You slowly nod your head.
Tony lifts you into your arms.
"Loki when Banner comes back meet us in the lab," he says. He flys back to the lab with you.
Loki runs back to Natasha who is sundowning Hulk.
As Loki reaches them Bruce returns.
"We need to go now!" Loki yells.
"Wait, what happened?" Bruce asks.
"It's Claire! She got hurt, " Loki says.
Bruce stands.
Thor takes his cape off and hands it to Bruce to cover himself.
"Thanks, " he says, taking the cape.
"We need to go!" Loki says rushing past the group.
