Iron Woman - (Fem Iron man X Pepper)

Chapter 59 - Fading

We finally got a plan together, Strange distracts Thanos while we start flying up a huge piece of a structure.

We fly the structure down onto Thanos, "Piece of cake, Quill." I nod.

"Yeah, if your goal was to piss him off!"

The wreckage on top of Thanos erupts in purple, as he bellows in rage. He turns the hovering fragments into a flock of bats with the Reality Stone and swarms me with them, making me fly back into a structure.

I shakily stand and fly out as the others attack him, sending missiles at him. He sucks all the flame into the gauntlet with the Power Stone and fires it in a stream at me, hitting me dead on and sending me far away, plowing through a massive fallen machine.

As I fly back, Peter webs the gauntlet and drops down in front of him, pulling hard, but Thanos yanks on the web-line, pulling the much lighter teenager towards him, and punching him away. He tears the webbing free of the gauntlet just in time for a small spaceship to attempt to crash-land on him.

The ship drags Thanos along for a distance, burying him under debris. He stands just as the pilot leaps in a great arc to punch him, landing in front of him with an energy-blade at the ready.

She runs at Thanos, attacking him with her sword. Thanos punches her away. Strange uses his magic to grab the gauntlet, pulling Thanos' fingers open and trying to pry the gauntlet off his hand.

Thanos tries to pull free, as Drax slides in from his right, kicking his knee and knocking him off-balance, then wrapping himself around Thanos' kneeling leg.

Quill shoots a electric trap onto the ground to Thanos' right, the tangle-field holding down his unarmored hand.

Peter swings in, webs Thanos' chest then wraps it around behind him, digging his Iron Spider legs into the ground to anchor himself.

Strange opens a portal straight above Thanos' out of which drops Mantis, landing on the Titan's shoulders, her hands on his temples. He bellows as she tries to put him under.

I finally make it to them and start pulling on the gauntlet. Strange reapplies his magic to reinforce the trap's hold on Thanos' right hand, and the Cloak helps him pull. Thanos is finally subdued enough to incapacitate, not fully asleep.

"Is he under? Don't let up." I nod as my helmet goes off.

Mantis starts to cry. "Be quick. He is very strong."

"Parker, help! Get over here." I yell. Peter drops his web-line, and hurries to help me with the gauntlet."She can't hold him much longer. Let's go." I nod.

Quill flies over to join us, stands in front of Thanos, tauntingly. "I thought you'd be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?"

"My Gamora...?" Thanos whispers.

"No, bull-shit. Where is she?"

"He is in anguish." Mantis says in shock.

"Good."

"He... he mourns." She cries.

"What does this monster have to mourn?" Drax asks.

"Gamora." The new girl says.

"What?" Quill asks.

"He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone... but she didn't."

"Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, you understand?" I ask as I keep pulling. "Don't, don't, don't engage, we've almost got this off!" I yell desperately.
