I had all and then most of you

Some and now none of you

Take me back to the night we met

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

Haunted by the ghost of you

Alice's eyes snapped open, her head throbbing with the force of a brutal headache. She felt the weight of her body pressing against the ground, the familiar hum of battle still crackling in the air. For a moment, everything felt surreal, too disorienting to grasp, but then she heard it: Peter Parker's voice, calling out to her.

"Miss Onyx!" he shouted, his tone panicked but familiar. "Get up! We need to move! The gauntlet!"

Groaning, Alice pushed herself up, her eyes scanning the chaotic battlefield around them. Her sword was lying just a few feet away, its blade gleaming faintly. She reached for it, gripping the hilt with steady hands. As she did, the ground shook beneath her, and she looked up just in time to see Thanos preparing for another brutal attack. He was fighting Wanda, her power nearly overwhelming him, but he wasn't backing down.

Once she noticed what Thanos was about to do, she instinctively pulled Peter into cover, her body blocking his as she shielded the gauntlet with hew own. The barrage of energy blasts rained down on them, the air sizzling with heat and force. But just as suddenly as it started, the blitz stopped. Alice's chest heaved, her senses on high alert as she cautiously looked up.

Then, she saw it – Captain Marvel, hurtling through the sky, ripping Thanos's ship like it was made of paper. She couldn't help herself. She let out a whoop, a triumphant shout that was both a relief and a declaration of victory.

"Fuck yeah, Carol!" Alice yelled, her grin fierce. "I bet the giant grape is shitting his pants right now."

Captain Marvel's descent was like watching a comet crash to Earth, and when Carol landed in front of Alice and Peter, a new sense of hope blossomed in Alice's chest. She stood up, pushing Peter gently to the side, though he remained clutching the gauntlet.

"Hi. I'm Peter Parker," he said, giving Carol a small, awkward wave.

Carol's grin was infectious as she met his gaze. "Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?"

Alice straightened up beside Carol, smiling at her friend before giving a quick nod. "Hey, Carol. Glad you could make it."

Peter shakily passed her the gauntlet, his hands still trembling. "I don't know how you're gonna get it through all that," he said, looking toward the warzone.

But before Carol could answer, the ground rumbled again as Wanda appeared, flying beside Valkyrie, her Pegasus taking her through the air with terrifying grace. Wanda's voice rang out, steady despite the chaos.

"Don't worry," Wanda said, confidence in her tone.

"She's got help," Okoye, who had joined them, spoke.
