"Eyes up." Steve orders. "Stay sharp."

Banner goes for him first but, goes straight through Thanos, being molded into the stone behind him.

Steve's next but, he's tossed away, surrounded by a purple light thing.

T'challa, Rhodey, Sam while I just stand there.

I've never had trouble doing anything with my strength and now that I have, and with Tonys words running through my head, I'm terrified.

I don't want to feel pain and Thanos will find a way to hurt me, I know he will.

Bucky, Nat, Pietro, Okoye, Tree.

Wanda tries to take out Visions stone.

All while I continue to stay still and scared.

"Hey, hey." Pietro shows up in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. "What's going on? What're you doing?"

"I-I can-I can't do it." I cry.

"What're you talking about? Yes, you can. You've never not done anything as long as I've known you. What's stopping you now?"

"I couldn't kill it. It wasn't working. It was too hard."

"Well, we need you right now. You're the strongest of all of us combined. You're going to have a hard time sometimes. But, you still did it. And you are going to do it. You need to do it."

He sets his hands on my cheeks with a sigh.

"Please, Lily. We need you for this. I need-"

He's cut off by being thrown into a far away tree by purple light.

"No!"

Thanos turns to me and I stand for a second before taking a deep breathe and working to pull off the gauntlet. He tries to hit me away but, I only move a few inches, still pulling. He tilts his head at me uses the gloved hand to hit me, striking me with the stones. I go flying the same way Pietro went, feeling exactly as I had feared.

I hit the ground on my back with pain shooting up my side, feeling like what I can imagine flames are like. I bring my hand to my side but, quickly pull away when it stings to touch.

"Pietro, it hurts." I try to calm my breathing.

I look at him and see him lying on the ground, not getting up, and instantly burst into tears. I turn to my front and do my best to crawl over to him, turning him to his back to see a spike of tree in his abdomen.

"No, no. No, Pietro! Oh my god."

I place my hands on his cheeks and try to shake him awake. It doesn't work and I immediately get pissed.

Ignore the pain as best I can and stand, facing Thanos, who's just thrown Steve to the ground. He looks back at me and chuckles.

"You have heart, little one."

"Don't call me that." I grit. "You have no right to call me that. No right to be on this planet."

"I have all the right in the universe."

He gets his hand ready and I pull him back, him groaning as he fights to close his fist. The tears stream down my cheeks as he beats me, squeezing me my the same purple as before, throwing me to the ground. He comes up to me and punches me in the face with the stones, feeling more pain as I fall to the ground beside Pietro.

He walks away, headed to Wanda and Vision. She destroys the stone, sending a wave of power through the trees.

I look away then, panicking inside as I lay flat on the ground, my breathing uneven, staring at Pietro as he lay dead beside me.

I look back up when I hear Thanos screaming, seeing that he has Visions stone as he lay dead on the ground, too. I roll to my front as Thor comes in with his lightening. Thanos fights back with a deadly light but, Thors new axe is too strong and slices right through it, hitting Thanos in the chest.

"I told you, you'd die for that." Thor pushes the axe further in, a scream of pain coming from Thanos.

"You should have gone for the head."
