xx. let's kill this grape-ass ball-chin man

a/n: hey besties! so, yeah, we're pretending that dakota just didn't age during the blip <//3 i know it isn't realistic at all, but the blip in and of itself isn't realistic in far from home anyway. so let's just pretend that she's somehow still sixteen! i love you guys and i'm sorry that i'm not working around this <3 the work-arounds that i tried just didn't work for me. enjoy!

just when dakota had begun to lose all hope, she heard a voice on the intercom. "on your left." dakota felt a surge of hope as a small yellow ring appeared in the air behind her. through it came t'challa, the black panther, alongside his sister, shuri. more wakandian warriors quickly appeared, and kodie looked up as other rings making their way into the sky.

tony and thor walked over to where steve stood, looking around as more and more portals appeared. dakota was walking with a sort of limp as she moved across the terrain, moving to help hazel to her feet. they clasped at each other's arms before helping each other back to their fathers.

dakota found herself searching the portals for the one from the planet she had been on with her father and peter. she hadn't seen her love in so long, and her heart leapt in her chest when she saw him swing in. kodie made quick eye contact with peter who smiled widely, giving her a small nod. she also noticed pepper potts fly in, wearing the iron suit that dakota and tony had made for her.

"is that everyone?" strange asked.

wong turned to him in confusion. "what, you wanted more?"

scott, bruce, rocket, and rhodey then appeared, approaching the largely growing group.

"avengers.." steve called from beside dakota, looking directly ahead. "..assemble."

the battle was now fully in place. people were fighting left and right. dakota found herself battling thanos' disgusting minions, using her blasters to blow them up. the fight would have been more interesting for her if she hadn't injured her leg, for she would have been able to actually throw some kicks.

when a green creature knocked her over, dakota did a somersault, landing in a crouching position as she blasted the thing. when she looked up briefly, she noticed a webbed flyer knocking something next to her away before it could attack her. the purple being was quickly thrown to the side, dying upon impact. peter's mask disappeared, showing his face.

"so remember when we were on that planet and i got all dusty?" peter began, watching as dakota opened and stepped out of her suit, stepping lightly on her hurt leg. "i must've passed out, because i woke up, and you were gone. but doctor strange was there, right? he was like, 'it's been five years. come on, they need us.' and then he started doing the yellow sparkly thing that he does all the time–"

"just shut up and give me a hug, you dork." kodie smiled, giving peter a big hug despite the battle raging around them. she pressed her face into the crook of peter's neck, smiling softly. "i missed you so much." she said, feeling his hands in her hair.

peter hummed softly. "it felt like only five minutes, but, i missed you, too." he said honestly, watching as she laughed, the most genuine smile on her face.

dakota leaned in, pressing her lips to peter's in a soft kiss.

"your comms are on, i heard all of that, you disgusting pervs." tony said in to their earpieces. both teens laughed for a moment before dakota broke their embrace.

"let's kill this grape-ass ball-chin man." kodie said to peter, who nodded.

peter swung away as dakota flew into the air, looking around and helping people as they needed it.
