You thought you'd done it. The air was silent and still, there was nothing happening as everyone held their breaths, waiting for Thanos to appear and kick all of your asses again. You were the first to let out a sigh, hand still holding Peter's desperately, his squeezing yours tighter and tighter with each passing second. Celebration seemed likely as everyone blew out a huge breath, some even letting out tiny smiles, but none cheered to early, especially not Stephen. You knew something was up, as Strange knew something the rest of you didn't, so you continued to hold Peter's hand in fear of what was to come.

Suddenly a shift in the atmosphere had begun, and all of you felt an uneasy air beginning to set into the atmosphere. You heard a whimper behind you, and quickly spun around to see Mantis's hands beginning to evaporate into an ashy substance, Mantis's eyes showed fear and regret, not wanting to leave and not being able to stop it. And she was gone, just like that. Wind blew away the ash on the ground, and she was gone.

"Qu-Quill..." You heard Drax say, as his skin had begun to crack as well, beginning to evaporate before your eyes. Nobody knew what to do, nobody knew what was going on and everyone stayed stark still with their jaws hung open. By the time Drax was gone, a glassy-eyed and scared Peter Quill had begun his decent as well, the fading beginning at his feet and working it's way up.

"Steady Quill..." Tony's voice had begun to shake, and you felt the tears beginning to prick at your eyes, wanting to stop this but not having the power.

"Oh crap..." Peter whispered before his face sunk in with the rest of his body, the ashes flying away into the atmosphere. You let go of Peter's hand and tried to reach for the ashes floating in the air, but they disappeared before they even touched your skin. 

"Tony..." You heard Stephen's voice ring out, broken in the atmosphere. "It was the only way..." He looked at you, a tear rolling down his cheek before his body began to crack and evaporate, slowly... then all at once. You felt like screaming, tears streaming down your cheeks as you pressed the back of your hand to your mouth in attempt to muffle the sobs wrecking your body. You didn't know who it was going to be next, it could be Peter for all you knew... but you hoped it would stop here, just let the rest of you be. Sadly, you knew that wouldn't be the case.

You grunted as you felt a twisting in your stomach, suddenly looking down at your hands and seeing them begin to crack. Your mouth opened to say something, but the only thing that came out was a whimpered sob as you made eye contact with Peter. He turned and saw your arms beginning to fade, and you saw the child come back into his tear-filled eyes. "No, no, no please (Y/n), don't go..." He walked up to you, wanting grab your hands but they were no more, he tried to grab your shoulders but his hands just went through. "I don't want you to leave, please don't leave me, please (Y/n)." Now he was breaking out into sobbing, hands cupping your fading face, trying desperately to hang on to anything else he could.

"I love you, I love you Peter." You desperately cried out, not wanting to leave his side. He bent down and placed a kiss on your lips, one you tried to feel, something you wanted to hang onto for the rest of your days wherever you were going. Another dimension, heaven, hell, would you just simply die?

Then you were gone. His hands caught your ashes like fireflies fading against the sky, his lips still puckered against lips that were no longer there. He felt like screaming, like crying... so he dropped to his knees and started sobbing as Tony just watched, never feeling more alone. He couldn't do this without you, he couldn't bare the future without you. Were you dead? Where were you? And could he find you there? Suddenly, he felt a stabbing and twisting feeling in his gut, and he rose to his feet slowly, and uttered the words Tony nearly broke at:

"I don't feel so good..."

literally Tom's acting when he was sobbing and hugging Tony is one of the things that caused me to actually sob, like I felt physical pain while I was sobbing. It broke all of us, and I hope we see him in the next, because your girl is going to cut a bitch.
