Golden Days✓ Tony Stark [Book 3]

38: Assemble.

"Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?" Clint's voice comes in.

"Get those stones as far away as possible!" Steve responds.

"No! We need to get them back where they came from." Bruce yells.

"No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel." I responded.

"Hold on!" Scott shrunk from my sight, "That wasn't our only time machine."

La Cucaracha, echos across the battlefield.

"Anyone see an ugly, brown van up there?" Steve asked and I looked around.

"Yes! But you're not gonna like where it's parked!" Val responded and I spotted the van.

How lucky are we that the van  isn't buried under the rubbles?

"Scott, how long you need to get that thing working?" I asked.

"Maybe ten minutes." He responded.

"Get it started. We'll get the stones to you." Steve instructed.

"We're on it, Cap." Another voice responds.

I throw a blast at a leviathan but it doesn't do much damage. The armor is impenetrable and an idea pops up in my head.

I flew into it's mouth, letting out a huge blast that explodes the creature, sending it's body everywhere. Uh, I could have sworn I've seen that before.

I see my baby brother surrounded by outriders and I landed beside him, throwing huge blasts that cleared them all.

"Woah. I'll never not be surprised by that." He says and I pulled him into a tight hug. The last memory I had of him, albeit not real, was him going through me desperate to hang on to life.

"I missed you so much." I muttered.

"What was that? It sounded like I love you so much. Aww, I love you too, shortie." He teased and I laughed, blinking back the tears that was gathering.

"We're literally the same height." I retorted, not bothering to correct him.

He stiffens, his head snaps to our right and I see T struggling to free himself from Squidward's grip.

"Okay, gotta go. Don't die, shortie." I said to him and he just rolled his eyes before swinging towards them, grabbing the glove and swings off.

I follow suit, slamming myself into Squidward, making him lose his hold on T. I wrapped wisps of energy around his hands, preventing him from using his powers. I pulled him towards me, with a sadistic smirk, I started to squeeze.

"Doesn't feel good does it?" I asked. He tried to struggle with the grip. My head goes back to when he held me down as Thanos killed Loki.

I continued to squeeze until a sudden blast of power pushed us away from each other, my grip on him breaking.

The blasts continued to rain, sending dust and debris everywhere. I put up a forcefield, absorbing all the blasts. When our people saw that the blast was no longer affecting them, they continued to fight.

Suddenly, the blasts stopped, making me look up in confusion. They started to shoot at the sky, making my frown deepen.

"What the hell is this?" Sam asked.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y., what are they firing at?" Dad asks.

"Something just entered the upper atmosphere." She responded and a smirk replaced the frown on my face as I felt the buzz in my body.

Surging with energy, Carol flies through Thanos' ship, twice, making it crash to the ground.

"Oh, yeah!" Rocket yells, excited.

"Carol, have I ever told you how much I love you?" I asked as I put my field down.

"Maybe, about once or twice." She responds.

"Danvers, we need an assist here." Steve's voice comes in.

We find the glove with my brother, who was hanging on to it for dear life.

"Hi. I'm– Peter Parker." He says before locking eyes with me. "Hey Lis."

"Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?" Carol asked.

He stand up with Liv's help and hands the glove to us. "I don't know how you're gonna get it through all that." He muttered.

"She just decapitated Thanos' ship, I'm sure she's gonna be fine." Liv responded.

"Besides, she's got help." I added as I adjusted my bracelet, which controlled my nanotech gloves.

He looks around to see Okoye, Shuri, Mantis, Nebula, Hope van Dyne, Val and her pegasus, Pepper and Gamora? All of us ready to help. My heart sinks when I realized Nat isn't here to witness this, to see the family we've built, that it isn't just the both of us against the boys anymore. I knew she'd be proud because I know I am.

We all moved towards Thanos' army that was charging towards us. We held back the army while Carol zoomed past the chaos, straight towards the van.

Thanos himself tried to stop her but he's stopped by Pepper, Shuri, Hope and I throwing blasts at him. But unfortunately, the blast sends him stumbling and in a desperate attempt, he throws his sword, into the van, which causes it to explode, sending a huge shockwave which pushes everyone backwards.

I pushed corpses of creatures off me to see Thanos kick dad away from him, the glove in his hand ready to snap. I grabbed his gloved hands, learning from the last time. He finally flung me off him, with a smirk.

"I am– inevitable." With that he snaps his fingers. Nothing happens except a metallic clink.

I see dad looking around, getting up to a kneeling position. Thanos looks around in confusion when he sees the gloves are empty.

My gloves arranged the stones, connecting them to me, letting the power flood through me. I see the panic in dad and Thanos' eyes, both for different reasons.

Dad tries to run towards me but he's stopped by the force field he didn't see there.

'The fate of the universe rests in her hands.' Odin's voice rings in my head.

"And We…are…the Avengers."

I wanted Thanos to feel the pain I felt five years ago and with that, I snapped my fingers, engulfing the whole battlefield in blinding light.
