My Safe Haven

Chapter 31: The Fight for the Universe

Wanda's POV:

The bombs that Thanos' army sent to the entire Avengers and SHIELD compound created a lot of damage. Everything was burned to the ground. Nothing left except for boulders and broken pillars scattered everywhere. I was stuck in a hole on the ground with boulders covering my only exit. I used my powers so I can get out and started looking for Nat but I was not able to find her nor feel her thoughts near me which is making me really worried and nervous.

"Wanda! Thank heavens you're okay." Pietro who came out of nowhere said.

"I-I can't find Nat." I stammered.

"We'll find her. Don't worry." he consoled.

"Where's Lorna and Max?" I asked.

"Lorna is helping the others who are buried or stuck. I don't know where Max is." he answered.

Both of us decided to split up so we can help the others. I was able to find Yelena who was already conscious and both of us found Maria whose legs are stuck under a huge boulder. She also has a large piece of glass lodged into her leg and she was unconscious. I saw the fear and sadness in Yelena's eyes when she saw Maria in that state. So, I immediately got the boulder out of the way. She then tend to her right away, slowly removing the glass and to stop the bleeding, she tore off a portion of her suit on the leg part and wrapped it around Maria's leg.

I went the other way because I can feel someone who's asking for help. I saw Rhodes stuck under a large cabinet so I immediately lift it for him.

"I need my suit." he said as he struggle to stand up.

"Find Lorna, she'll help you with that." I instructed him and he nodded in response.

I looked around and it seems like almost everyone got out without any serious injuries but I still was not able to find Nat. I was starting to panic when Pietro rushed to me with Nat in his arms. Her forehead was dripping more blood and it looks like a sharp edge of a boulder pierced to her side because she was bleeding. Tears immediately flooded my eyes as I tried to apply pressure on her wound but my hands were shaking so much.

"Here, let me help you." Pietro said, placing his hands on her wound to slow the bleeding.

"N-Nat, baby, please wake up. Please. I can't lose you." I wept.

Luckily, Dr. Cho was close so she started searching the area of what used to be the clinic and got a kit to help Nat stop from bleeding out. Nat was still unconscious and I was at the verge of a full on panic attack already.

The ground started to tremble and it looks like the ships were transporting the passengers to the ground until the army of Chitauri surrounded us. Everyone was already suited up but Nat was still passed out on the ground. Dr. Cho was quickly sewing her wound to close it but little by little, it feels like it's the end for all of us.

A huge guy appeared in the middle of the army and I am guessing that we're now looking at Thanos.

"I believe you have what I want. Hand it over and I will make sure that you'll live." he declared.

"There's nothing for you here to take! Now, go back to your floating death star and get going, Darth Vader!" Tony hollered.

"Ah, Tony Stark. The guy whose plan is to put a suit of armor around this planet. A man so smart but not smart enough to control his own creation you named 'Ultron'." Thanos mocked.

"Yeah, but strong enough to defeat him and I could do the same to you." Tony countered.

"You see, Stark, that's where you're mistaken. Once my allies arrive here with the stones I asked them to take, along with the two stones you're keeping here, I want you to have the front row seat and watch what I am going to do to your pathetic little planet before I kill you. I asked nicely, but it looks like, I'll have to take it from all of you." Thanos warned.
