It was as if the complete opposite happened in the way that we got trapped.

Scott suddenly grew to a size bigger than imaginable. I was pushed back into the hazy unknown and all I was sure of in the rush of colour and sounds was that I felt myself be swept away. Scott had quite literally grabbed me out of the water and exploded through the building. I had to cling onto Bruce to keep myself steady as we practically soared through the air while standing on Scott's palm. My head rushed and I felt nauseous at the speed.

Scott bent over and spread his palm out to a patch of rubble and the four of us jumped off. I wobbled as my feet made contact with the ground, holding my hands out to steady myself. I hardly noticed the destruction that surrounded us because of the orange circles of energy that appeared right beside Steve.

My mouth was agape as I recognised the type of magic, it was awfully similar to Doctor Strange and sorcerers like him. I stumbled forward, a hand now protective on my bump as I saw Thor who stood still, a gash on his temple. His eyes found mine and his tense expression softened, solace overcoming him. I reached out to him with my other hand as he rushed towards me, pulling me into a hug instantly. His fingers stroked my head as I nestled it into the crook of his neck, both of us breathing out great gasps of relief.

"Oh, thank god," Thor whispered, his breath tingling my neck that was still sensitive from the water pressure. "I was so worried. I had no idea where you were were. Are you okay? The baby?"

"I'm okay, Thor. The baby's okay, too," I said, rubbing his neck softly but I pulled away from him as I noticed Thanos standing across the debris with an entire army behind him.

Anger swelled up as it all clicked, the attack, the explosion, it was him. I didn't know how exactly since he was supposed to be dead but it was a known fact that dangerous implications was a certainty when dealing with Time Travel. My grip on Thor's hand tightened as my breath got heavier, Thanos making eye contact with me and I immediately wanted to draw my sword and charge towards him but...

...through the corner of my eye I saw three people emerging from the bright portal.

My hand was still interlocked with Thor's as tears sprung in my eyes in utter shock of what was happening. After years and years of loss and heartbreak of our failures in Wakanda, to the last few days being full of worry and hope, all to come together in a win. In Thor Snapping them back to the life they never should have left.

Stepping out was Okoye, Shuri and King T'Challa. All were completely restored, just as they looked before the Snap, just as ready to fight as before.

In my awe, I looked up to see someone soar over our heads, it was Sam. In his single movement, dozens of other portals opened up around the others, all across the battlefield. I glanced to Thor, pride coursing throughout me but he was busy focused on the people emerging from the portals.

Doctor Strange descended with his cape billowing behind. Drax, Mantis, Star Lord and Spider-Man followed him and I couldn't help but laugh in disbelief as others started to stream out of the portals. Heroes from across the universe came to our aid against Thanos' army. The Wakandan army arrived alongside the Asgardians and Valkyrie atop of her Pegasus. I couldn't help but shed a tear as I caught the sight of my best-friend, Penelope, the only Olympian among the herd of Asgardians. Wong came though along with the other Masters of the Mystic Arts. Ships poured from large portals on top of us as I saw Wanda, Groot, Bucky, the Wasp and Pepper enter.
