We pull up to Tony's cabin and we see him holding his daughter
Tears swell up in my eyes, she looks just like Sadie, but I collect myself and take a deep breath
"Yn you can stay out here if you want" nat offers, but I walk in
Scott and Steve walk to Tony first, me behind Steve
"I told you never to come back" Tony yells at me but I keep my composure
"Shut the hell up Tony, I'm only here because I had to be" I'm still drunk so my words are mushed together
"Let me guess, you're drunk" his words are like knives
"How would you deal with losing Morgan and pepper?!" I finally snap
"I wouldn't get drunk everyday"
"Then what the fuck do you suggest I do?"
"Not that"
"What? You can't think of anything?"
"Why is she here?"
"To get my fucking family back"
The four of them walk inside, I choose to stay out and smoke a joint instead
I burst into tears, seeing morgan reminded me of sage and Sadie
Seeing Tony and pepper reminded me of how lonely I am, and how much I missed and needed him
I smoked the whole joint, removed the scent from me and walked inside
Tony rolled his eyes when I came in, but continued to talk to Scott about how to get everyone back
They were talking about science shit that Steve, nat, and I didn't understand
It was getting to about dinner time for Zoey so I decided to leave
"See ya Scott, I gotta feed my dog" I ignore the others because they either hate me or want me dead
I flew back to the compound to grab my car which was new as of a few months ago
The car was a white jeep with totally blacked out windows and tires
I stopped at the store since I remembered her food was low, and I needed more whiskey
"I don't think I've ever seen anyone buy these two things at once" the cashier laughs
"Whiskey specifically?" I force a laugh
"Beer is quite popular" she rings me up
I hand her my card and ID, she runs the card and hands them both back
I carry the food out on my shoulder, using my powers to actually hold it but I couldn't use my powers obviously in public, especially if I don't want to get noticed
The whiskey is in a bag in my other hand, I toss the dog food in the trunk and the whiskey on the floor of the passenger seat
When I get home, Zoey runs to me, but the silence is overwhelming, I start crying and put the whiskey and dog food down
I slump next to the door and bring my knees to my chest as I cry harder and harder
Zoey lays next to me for comfort, I lay one of my hands on her
I had been alone for so long, nearly 5 years and it still hurt
   Being ripped away from your family with the snap of his fingers
   The memories are trapped in my mind, seeing Bucky turn to ash, finding out my daughters were just gone
   I cry so hard I gag and run to the bathroom, I was crying so hard it made me vomit
   It wasn't the first time I cried so hard I threw up
   The first year after the snap, I threw up everyday, I looked emaciated and pale, I couldn't keep any food down
   My phone starts to ring, I grab it out of my pocket and see it's Scott
   I wipe my tears and take a deep breath before I answer
   "Hey Scott, what's up?" I try to sound okay
   "We can do it" his words make me go still, it makes my heart pound through my throat
   "We can bring them back?" I want to clarify before I get my hopes up
   "Yes"
   My jaw drops to the floor, I go speechless, I want to say something but I have too much to say and can get any of it out
   "Are you at the compound?" I ask and run out to my car and start it
   I remember Zoey and quick fill her dish, the phone still pinned to the side of my face
   "Yeah, are you coming here?" He asks
   "Fuck yes I'm coming" I drive off to the compound
   My heart races at the thought of having my daughters and husband back, maybe my brother too
   I get there and see Thor and Carol, I haven't actually met Carol yet but I know she absorbed the power of an infinity stone too
   I see Clint and run into a hug, he lost all of his kids and his wife aswell
   The fact that Clint and I lost it all had brought us closer
   "You look like shit" he laughs
   "I feel like shit" we hug again
   I walk over to Thor and hug him too, after the guardians saved him, he told me Loki had died
   "Lovely reunion now let's get to it" Tony just wants the attention away from me
We suit up and get into groups, I go with banner to get the time stone
We know it's with the wizard in the cool yellow outfit
"What happened between you and Tony" banner walks next to me
"After I lost my whole family, i needed to drouwn out the voices so I'm an alcoholic stoner" I'm sober at the moment, I wish I wasn't
"Who did you lose?" He asks and I feel my heart in my stomach
"Both of my daughters and Bucky" my heart hurts again
"And Tony hates you for that?"
"I tried to explain what happened but he said he wouldn't listen to an addict"
"Does he know you lost your kids and husband"
Tears swell up in my eyes but I take deep breaths and continue the conversation
"He said my losses were my fault"
