The Impossible Mortal - A Marvel FanFic

Almost

You retell everything that happened when you were with Thor, Loki, and Hela, and now you're calculating time in your head, "They should be back by now!"

"They'll have to deal with you when they return, so they may want to stay away," Clint says with a smirk, trying to lighten the tension.

Nat walks by and smacks his shoulder.

"Hey! Would you stop doing that to all of us?!" Clint rubs his shoulder, pretending to be in more pain than he really is.

"I would if you guys would stop giving me reasons to," Nat tilts her head just so with a grin.

Tony pulls out a bag of chips from under the armrest of one of the couches, "So we just sit and wait for this season 'Keeping up with the Asgardians' to end. No problem."

You can't hide your laugh, but a sharp pain from your neck nearly has you double over.

"Ok, no jokes then. What's wrong?" Tony's instantly off of the couch to you.

"I don't....ah!" your mark stings again, so you put your hand on it lightly.

The second you do, you see Loki and Thor on a ship with the same creature you saw the first day you met Loki in 2012. 

"What the hell is going on?!" Tony says a lot louder with frustration oozing from his voice.

"I need..." you blink to refocus on your surroundings back in the main room, breathing heavy.

"Maybe Banner should give you a once over," Tony motions Bruce over.

"Come on, we..." Bruce puts his hand on your upper-arm, between your elbow and shoulder.

But a second later, both you and Bruce are teleported to where Loki, Thor, and Thanos are on the ship.

You and Bruce are hidden behind some debris, but you can see everything happening. You watch Loki approach Thanos, and you nearly lunge forward, but Bruce pulls you back, "We need to help them!"

Bruce drags you more out of view, "Yes, because clearly that's worked out for Thor and Loki so far!"

You take another quick peek, seeing Thor trapped by metal, "Maybe the Big Guy would be a better match for Barney's Evil Twin out there."

Bruce takes a deep breath but nods, and moves around, transforming into the Hulk, being seen only by Thor and Loki.

You move in the opposite direction, and when you do, you see Heimdall, barely alive on the ground.

He groans and looks-up at you, "You...you should not be here."

You're about to respond to Heimdall, when you hear Loki, "We have a Hulk."

You immediately turn, and see Hulk jump onto Thanos, but he gets thrown aside.

You see Loki and are just about to run to him, when he pulls his dagger on Thanos, while Thor pulls on his metal restraints.

"You should choose your words more carefully," Thanos lifts Loki by the throat. 

Your heart sinks as you watch Thanos' grip tighten, the children of Thanos standing around with proud smiles.

You quickly look around, and spot a piece of metal on the ground.

There's only one option that you can see, so you pick it up, and smash it over one of the children of Thanos's heads, causing Thanos to drop Loki, still alive. 

All attention now comes to you, and Thanos looks down at the body, then to you standing behind with the metal rod.

"Oh, I'm sorry; did I step on your moment?" you hold onto the metal bar as Thanos steps closer to you.

Meanwhile, Heimdall opens a portal to send you, Loki, Thor, and Bruce back to the tower.

You see the portal, and turn to go, but just as you do, you feel a sharp, burning pain go through you from your back to your front. 

You're frozen in place, as you watch Thor, Loki, and Bruce go through the portal, and then is closes, with you still on the ship.

----------------------------------------------------

Loki, Thor, and Bruce fall into the lab of the tower.

Loki's instantly standing and searching around for you, "Where is Y/N?"

Tony and Clint were in the lab, "They..." Tony turns to Banner. "Bruce, you went with them!"

"AND WE ARE ALL BACK, SO WHERE IS Y/N?!" Loki's voice reverberates off of the lab walls, some of the doors rattling.

----------------------------------------------------

Back on the ship, you look down at the pain, and see another piece of metal going completely through you, "Well, that can't be good."

"I win," Ebony walks to your side and then back to Thanos, before they all escape off of the ship as it goes into self-destruction mode.

Heimdall uses his magic to remove the metal from you, but you're still bleeding, "I am going to send you back."

You frown trying to ignore the pain, "Come with me!"

Heimdall shakes his head, "I only have enough power left for one."

No matter how hard you try, the pain and loss of blood is making you lightheaded, "But..."

Heimdall sits up as best as he can and puts something in your hand, "If your healing does not go as planned, you may take this."

You open your palm and look at something about the size of a grape, "What is...?"

"Thor and Loki will explain if need be," Heimdall says, but muffles a scream through his teeth. "I must send you back now."

And before you can respond or protest, you're in the main room of the tower.

"Y/N? Everyone's been loo...." you hear Pepper's voice and footsteps as you grip the island countertop to stand. Pepper sees your injuries as she gets closer and rushes over, "TONY!" 

You move your hand from your stomach, and both your clothing and hand are completely covered in your blood.

Pepper pushes things off of the kitchen island, "Here. Lie on your back."

With the help of Pepper, you sit on the edge of it, "I..."

As you hold your front, Pepper looks at the exit wound of your back, "TONY!" She screams again, louder.

You're slowly guided back and lay on your side. It's more comfortable, and your eyes start closing.

"Don't you dare!" Pepper shakes your shoulder. "You'll be fine; it's just..."

"I just need to close my eyes for a secon..." and then all of your energy deflates, your eyes close, body going limp.

Tony, Clint, Bruce, Thor, and Loki heard Pepper's last yell and come running, "What's wron...?"

Pepper turns to Tony, tears flowing, "They just closed their eyes, I don't..."

"FRIDAY?" Tony lightly places his hand on your cheek.

"There's a faint pulse, Sir, but the blood loss..." you'd swear there's emotion in FRIDAY's voice as well.

"Get everything we have, Banner. We need..." Tony's stumbling over his words, as his eyes quickly assess your wounds.

"Mr. Stark, the vital signs I am reading..." FRIDAY continues.

"I DON'T CARE!" Tony screams over the voice.

There's a second of a pause, before Tony picks up one of the glass cups at the wall, shattering right next to Loki's head, which brings him out of the trance he's been in upon seeing your state.
