"AVA! AVALYN! AVA!"
Avalyn let out a groan as pain settled across her body, along with the feeling of a wet liquid trailing down her head. She wasn't concerned, she knew it would heal itself within the hour, and she was more concerned about who was yelling at her.
"Ava, you need to get up," Tony's voice settled into soft urgency. "Hey, you're okay."
"Someone shot a missle at us," Avalyn replied hoarsely.
"Yeah," Steve sighed.
As Tony, Steve, Thor, and Avalyn approached Thanos, the tension felt almost unbearable. The calm before the storm hung in the air as Thanos, watching them with a cold, knowing expression, seemed all too aware of their intentions.
Thor raised both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir, electricity crackling through the air as he transformed, donning his armor and cape, his beard braided, the God of Thunder in his full glory.
"Let's kill him properly this time," he said, his voice a low growl. Together, they stepped forward, determination steeling their gazes.
"You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you?" Thanos sneered. "Back to me."
Tony smirked, folding his arms. "Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn."
"Like Dad says, we're all kinds of stubborn, you fucker." Avalyn's eyes narrowed, her fists clenched at her sides.
The battle erupted instantly, a blinding clash of power and fury. Tony charged at Thanos, shouting to Thor, "Okay, Thor, hit me!"
Thor struck his hammers together, sending a surge of lightning into Tony, his suit absorbing the raw energy. He released it in a concentrated blast from his hands, hurling it at Thanos, who spun his blade to deflect the onslaught, forcing Thor to try another approach. With a shout, Thor hurled Mjolnir, smashing it into Thanos's side. The Mad Titan, unfazed, seized Tony, using him as a shield, causing Tony's suit to sputter with the damage.
As the dust settled, Steve rushed forward, only to be thrown back by a powerful blow from Thanos. Avalyn launched herself forward, her movements swift, her punches fierce—but Thanos easily deflected her, his strength overwhelming. Then, he turned to Thor, knocking him back relentlessly, punching him down with brutal force.
