Forever and Always

Chapter 32

     "Bucky! On your left!" Clara had just finished off two aliens, and she looked over at Bucky, who had an alien charging towards him. Fortunately, Bucky heard her warning and shot it down in an instant.

        As she promised, she didn't let him out of her sight. But I'm all the chaos, he was the only one Clara could really point out. She got a glimpse of this chick with antennas not too long ago, and she swore, while fighting off another gorilla thing, she saw Steve world Mjlonir.

          "Did you know he could do that?" Bucky asked between shots.

            "Nope! Not much of a surprise though." They worker together, warning each other and helping each other out. In the moment, it felt like it was just them against everything else. She didn't worry about where the gauntlet was right now, or who was still alive and who might've died. She was just fighting, and she was how it was going to end.

           Bucky and Clara were able to defeat all the aliens around them, giving them some time to rest before the next wave.

          "So...what do we plan to do after this?"  Bucky shouted over all the screams and yelling and fighting. He was checking in his gun, making sure it was loaded enough.

             "Well...assuming we both live, I was able to get a place up in Brooklyn. You won't believe it...BUT I GOT A JOB!" Bucky looked at her, surprised, and smiled.

            "I'm happy for you! I really am!" Before Clara could react, she got a shiver down her spine. Uh oh. Clara, her instincts telling her to look up, craned her neck up at the sky. She found herself looking directly at Thanos's ship. From the ship, several hundreds of cannons had started launching missiles directly at them.  One missiles was headed straight towards them.

           "BUCKY!!!" He looked up, and once he realized what was happening, he took Clara's arm and pulled her down into a ditch. As she felt herself fall into the ditch, she could hear the missile behind them as it landed in the dirt, causing soil to fly up at them. She fell hard on her ass, and she scooted herself against the side of the ditch. Bucky, even though he knew she could take care of herself, still wrapped his body around hers as if he was some kind of protective barrier. She pressed her head against his chest, and covered her ears. The missiles caused her ears to ring, and for a few seconds she couldn't hear anything. She could feel debris fall on her, but Bucky was blocking most of it, hugging her.

Then the debris stopped falling on them. She still hears loud explosions from the missiles, but it wasn't hitting the ground. She opened her eyes and looked up at Bucky. He had his serious face on, but he was also confused. She pulled away from him and they both got out from underneath the ditch they were hiding under. Clara was in awe at what she was seeing. The wizards, they were all creating barriers with their orange shield things, keeping the missiles from making impact.

"Amazing." Clara and Bucky said in sync. They looked at each, and Bucky cocked his gun, and Clara was ready to follow him, but far away, she heard someone calling out.

"I don't got it! I don't got it!" Clara looked to the right of her, and saw that Peter Parker kid was being engulfed in a tower of aliens. She looked at Bucky, and he sighed.

"Go help the kid! We'll meet back up." Clara smiled and she sprinted off. As she got halfway, she launched herself in the air, and when she landed, she was on all fours.

"I'm coming kid!" She charged towards the aliens like a bull running towards the red cloth. She braced herself for impact, and she ran straight through the aliens, causing them to topple down. She jumped from alien to alien, killing them in an instant, until she had killed the entire pile. Then she checked on Peter.
