Fighting for Something More

Chapter 13: The Stones

Tony, Percy and Nebula limped their way to the Benatar before the blue woman got into the pilot's seat and left the planet of Titan. Tony, with the help of Nebula, guided Percy to a bench and had her lay down.

"Who is this woman? I've never seen abilities like her's before. Her control over water is close to that of an Elemental." Nebula spoke up, when she had crashed her pod into Thanos, she had seen the raven haired woman summon a hurricane and used the winds to her advantage as she swung at the purple fucker with her sword.

Tony looked down at the exhausted girl, stroking her hair softly, he grabbed a blanket and placed it on her. "She's like a daughter to me. I've known her ever since Thanos sent that army to New York. She literally fell from the sky and killed a Chitauri before she landed in front of us. Since then, I've tried to be as much of a father to her as I could." Tony stood up and sat down at a table in the middle of the ship.

"I'm not even sure if she'll come back to herself after she wakes up." Tony stated depressingly, the effects of losing to Thanos now heavily bearing upon him.

Nebula looked to him and the girl one more time. "Get some rest, we have a long ride to Terra." Tony nodded and closed his eye's.

EARTH ONE WEEK LATER NATASHA POV

Natasha was devastated, she had called Melina to see if Peter was ok after Thanos had snapped his fingers. Only to find out that Peter had survived only for Yelena to be dusted. She had collapsed in the compound's center room at the mentioning of losing her sister for the second time in her life.

Steve knelt down next to her and just held her as she cried. Hiding her away from the remaining Avenger's. She had eventually calmed down and regained her emotionless mask, she then walked out of the compound and towards the New York Sanctum to talk to Wong.

She reached the doors of the Sanctum and raised her hand to knock when the doors opened by themselves to allow her entry. She walked inside and was about the walk up the stairs when a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"What can I do for you, Mrs. Jackson-Romanoff?" A portly Asian man asked, exiting from a portal. For a second, Natasha could see grief in his eyes.

"Are you able to find the location of my wife and Tony Stark? I'm begging you, I've already lost my sister. I can't lose anyone else." She begged, tears welling in her eye's. The thought of losing Percy tore her heart apart.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Romanoff, but she is unable to be found. She is in constant motion, alive but I am unable to send a portal to her right now. If I hear anything, I'll let you know." Wong apologized, losing Stephen was stressing Wong out.

Natasha nodded her head and wiped her tears. "Thank you for trying." She left and got back into her car and drove back to the compound. Not paying attention to anyone before grabbing her gun and heading to the indoor shooting range that Tony had placed for her to use.

Two weeks have passed, and Natasha had heard nothing from Wong. She had started to twist the ring on her finger in worry, looking at a photo of the two of them on their honeymoon. The younger woman's arm was wrapped around Natasha's waist as she placed a kiss on her cheek.

Natasha wiped at her tears when she heard, or rather, felt the compound begin to shake violently. She ran out of her room and met up with Steve, who had shaved off the most gorgeous beard anyone had ever seen. He nodded to her and they ran outside with the rest of the team.

They got outside and saw a blonde woman carrying a ship in both of her hands. The woman gently placed the ship down on the grass, the door opened up and Tony limped out of the Benatar. An arm wrapped around Percy's shoulder's as he helped her down the ramp.
