↳ chapter eighteen

↳ you'll be alright

it was like the whole world had stopped turning all completely. none of them spoke a word while they waited

for something, anything to happen

but nothing.

that was probably the worst about all of this. they were so far away and had still lost. and now there was no way to come back.

evi couldn't even tell wanda that she was alive, let alone say goodbye to her.

she guessed that even though she was with the avengers and vision, the last years probably hadn't been easy for her sister.

people like them, with these powers, would always be hated.

maybe in medieval times it had been pitchforks and torches and being burned on a pyre, today it was judging stares and hateful words and being forced to sign a contract ( in this case the sokovia accords )

she wished she would've been there for wanda.

she finally knew that it was entirely her decision to leave back there, but she had learned that too slow or either, she was sure, she had stayed, but her subconscious wanted her to feel a bit of peace - finally

after the blow she had felt it seemed to be over, for now at least

everything was silent. as they all made they way towards each other, meeting in the middle.

"i'm sorry about wanda" said tony, after he had hugged evi

"thank you" she smiled "she already went, i could feel it" she pointed at her head. "you were right, we have a connection there" she sobbed through sad tears

peter extended his arm and hugged her close to his body, trying to comfort her a bit.

"something's happening" said mantis. evi and peter loosened their hug and looked at the alien girl.

and then suddenly she was gone. not long after her drax and quill went too.

evi and peter bowed their heads down. saddened by their new friends disappearance.

"tony" they all turned around to look at strange "there was no other way" he muttered, his face scrunched up like he was truly sorry. evi was astonished, because strange suddenly seemed so vulnerable. then he was gone too

but that wasn't the part that took evis attention, no, because it was peter, who began to stumble in her hold.

"mr stark?" he asked panicked "i don't feel  so good"

"you're alright" said tony

evis eyes grew worried, as he continued to stumble and stutter "i don't... i don't know what's happening"

"it's okay, peter, you're okay" she mumbled, trying to hold him, before he would fall onto the ground

but he was too heavy, and her powers were drained so he suddenly he fell forward into tony's arms.

"i don't want to go, i don't want to go" he pleaded while he turned a bit to take evi's hand in his.

tony layed him onto the ground.

"you don't have to go, you'll be alright" evi cried, while she looked at tony with a pleading look, waiting for him to confirm her words. he stayed quiet

"he will be alright, right tony?" evi cried as tony bowed his head down. she turned her eyes from the man to look back at peter.

peter looked up as if he couldn't see anymore. evi and tony on the ground next to him.

"peter" evi cried

he turned to look at her. "i promised you i'd stay and" he paused to try and catch his breath "i-i really wanted it to mean something"

"it did" she smiled through her tears. she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his temple "it did"

"i'm sorry" peter mumbled, directed to the both of them now.

"i'll wait for you" evi stroked his hair "i promise"

and then suddenly, he was gone. tony slapped onto the ground where peters body had layed, but there was nothing to catch anymore, the dust already blowing away with his disappearance.

tony and evi sat in silence, both grieving internally. but when she felt that it was to much, she crawled a bit closer to the man and hugged him slowly.

although they had only hugged a few minutes ago, it felt a bit weird now. it was different when people were grieving.

but tony accepted the hug and even stroked evis head. she could hear him sniff a few times, while they cried together silently

"he did it" said the alien girl suddenly, the last person that was left, except tony and evi, sitting down beside them

of course it was obvious, but having someone say it was definitely different, evi registered.

sitting down in defeat had the same effect.
