 By the time Steve is awake, I've packed a bag for both of us "Morning." he states walking past me "Don't you want to eat before we go?"

 "We can eat on the walk." I state, before walking back to my tent and changing into my loincloth, fur shorts and ankle boots.

 When I walk out, Steve holds out a bag of food, which I take, after I put the pack on. "Do you have your earpiece?"

 "No." I state, starting towards the lab door "I have no need for it. We'll be suck here for the next five months." I hear him jog to catch up "Anything they need to tell us, can wait."

 As we finish our food and throw the trash to the ground, Steve signal through his earpiece "Shuri, give us a statistic update."

 He stops dead in his tracks and stares at me "What?" I ask, but he doesn't reply "What's happening?" when he doesn't reply, I walk back to him and rip the earpiece out of his ear and shove it in mine "Shuri, repeat."

 She clears her throat, then there's a long pause before she continues "Air capacity is 68%."

 Realisation finally hits me and I sigh "We has four months until we loose cognitive function, do to oxygen quality." I squat down for a second and think, before replying "Find me a way to fix the filtrater. Maybe we can find a way to recycle the oxygen."

 She goes silent for a second, before Natasha comes over the earpiece "Sorry, Shuri had to step out."

 "It's fine." I sigh "How far is the tribe from us?"

 "50 kilcks." She states and I start walking again.

 "Okay, thanks." and I hand the earpiece back to Steve "Come on, we have thirty-one miles to walk to find those five."

 As we walk, he speaks in little code. Stuff like "Point Break", "pillow hall" and "white hug." What it means is beyond me, but I couldn't care less. My focus is on the shield that blocks my sight.

 After about four hours of Steve speaking in code, he stops and alerts we're 5 klicks out. From here, we snick the three miles we have left.

 As soon as we hit the third mile, the shield is gone. I frown at push Steve back a few feet "What are you doing?" he asks as I mess with the dirt in between us.

 "The shield is right here!" I whisper and start digging. Eventually, my fingernails hurt, so I pick up a stick and dig.

 "This is ridiculous." he whispers "You take us all the way to the top of a mountain to dig in the ground."

 Right then, I hit something and switch to using my hands again. That's when I notice the defined line of metal that cuts off "The vibranium is creating a shield over the plan with no vibranium." I whisper and he gives me a confused look. I'm about to explain more, when I feel who's in the camp behind us.

 I leap at Steve and knock I'm behind a rock "What was that for?" he whines and I cover his mouth with my hand.

 "We need to be quiet!" I whisper, before glancing over the rock and seeing a big buff black man wearing artic animal skin.

 He gives me an annoyed look and looks over the rock as well "There is no meat here! We were vegetarians!" The black man screams across the camp.

 I release Steve and signal for him to be quiet as I take out my sword. When the large purple man walks past, I leap forward and rest my sword against his throat with my legs pressing against his sides "Move and you die." I state as he freezes.

 "I thought I killed you." Thanos states as I press the sword closer to his throat.

 "You thought wrong." I state, before starting to press down on his neck "No coming back this time." I moke him the way he did on our war ship.
