The Neglected Sorcerer (Male Reader)

Chapter 23: Five Years Later...

Five Years Later...

On Earth, the majority of world governments were in a state of chaos because half of the world's population had disappeared. Over the course of five years, the victims of the Snap would come to be known as the Vanished, with memorial sites erected in their honor in every city in the world. The Earth's governments saw an emergence of global unity and the nations came together, putting aside their hostilities and differences. Most countries across the globe opened their borders to provide the Snap's survivors with support to live through the tougher times, essentially building a unified community. Many people approved the new state of the world and believed that Thanos was right in his convictions, which led to an ideology of a world without borders. Y/N was in the Sanctum Sanctorum, he has lost half of his students due to the snap including Strange who was among the victims of the Snap. During all this, Y/N, Wanda and Wong did their best to restore what was lost during the Snap, recruiting new members as Y/N and Wanda both got enegaged to each other.

Soon after, Y/N participated in a hologram conference alongside Rhodey, Nebula, Rocket, Carol, and Okoye with Natasha being the leader.

Rocket: Yeah, we boarded that highly suspect warship Danvers pinged.

Nebula: It was an infectious garbage scowl.

Rocket: So, thanks for the hot tip.

He turns to Danvers and replies back with a smirk.

Carol: Well, you were closer.

Rocket: Yeah. And now we smell like garbage.

Natasha: You get a reading on those tremors?

Okoye: It was a mild subduction under the African plate.

Natasha: Do we have a visual? How are we handling it?

Okoye: Nat, it's an earthquake under the ocean. We handle it by not handling it.

Natasha: Carol, are we seeing you here next month?

Carol: Not likely.

Rocket: What, you gonna get another haircut?

Carol: Listen fur-face, I'm covering a lot of territory. The things that are happening on Earth, are happening everywhere, on thousands of planets.

Rocket: All right, all right, that's a good point. That's a good point.

Carol: So, you might not see me for a long time.

Natasha: What about you, Y/N?

Y/N: Not likely but I may visit in a few minutes. I'm just about done at Kamar-Taj, I'm trying to bring back what is left of the Master of the Mythic Arts, in case we ever encounter a threat like Thanos again.

Natasha: Alright. Uh, well. This channel is always active. So, if anything goes sideways... anyone's making trouble where they shouldn't... comes through me.

Okoye agrees in her language.

Rocket: Okay.

Natasha: Alright.

The Avengers cut off their calls one by one.

Carol: Good luck.

Nat sighs exhausted, and sits down, as she notices Rhodes still online in the call.

Natasha: Where are you?

Rhodey: Mexico. The Federales found a room full of bodies. Looks like a bunch of cartel guys. Never even had the chance to get their guns off.

Natasha: It's probably a rival gang.

Rhodey: Except it isn't. It's definitely Barton. What he's done here, what he's been doing for the last few years... I mean, the scene that he left...
