CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO —
( Rock paper scissors shoot! )────────────────
Captain America, Thor and Gemini battled side-by-side. Evelyn sliced apart Chitauri's, Steve threw his shield at them and tore them apart with it, and Thor used Mjolnir to destroy them. Just as Evelyn turned to fight more, an energy blast struck her down hard, as it did to Steve. Thor ran over to a broken car and swung the hammer, causing the vehicle to flip over and crush a few aliens. Evelyn saw a pair of feet in front of her. She looked up and saw that Thor extended his arm out to her. Evelyn grabbed onto it, and he helped her up.
"Thanks," She mumbled.
"You ready for another bout?" Thor asked Steve and Evelyn.
"What? You gettin' sleepy?" Steve asked.
"Pft, Grandpa," Evelyn nudged Steve in his side.
"I can close it! Can anybody hear me? I can shut the portal down!" Natasha said over the earpiece.
"Do it!" Evelyn said
"No, wait!" Tony said.
"Stark, these things are still coming!" Steve told him.
"I got a nuke coming in. It's going to blow in less than a minute. And I know just where to put it."
Evelyn's breath hitched as she realised what he was about to do. "Tony, no, don't do this to yourself," she said as she saw him come flying down the street with the nuke.
"Evie, you know I have to," he said. "By the way, you're my favourite out of the Avengers."
"I know that, silly. It was kind of obvious," Evelyn laughed. Steve walked up to Evelyn, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and pulled her towards him.
Tony steered the nuke away from Stark Towers and flew it straight into the sky.
"I'll miss you, shell head," Evelyn said.
"I'll miss you too, Evie. And, do me a favour," he said. "Go out on a date with Capsicle. We all know you two have the hots for each other."
Steve's arm tightened around Evelyn's shoulders, and her face heated up as everyone agreed.
"Alright, Anthony. As you wish."
Tony flew up higher and higher over the city, gaining speed. Suddenly, he flew himself through the portal. The communication died with his suit.
"Tony? Tony!" Evelyn called out. Steve turned Evelyn around to face him and pulled her into his chest as she teared up. The son of her best friend was gone, another Stark gone, and Evelyn had been around for all three of their deaths.
