Wanda flew both herself and Astra to Vision, who was leaning on a log. The two girls rushed over to him as it seemed he was too injured. "Are you okay?" The Sokovian asked him, cupping his cheek with her hand just as he gasped in pain, the Mind Stone telling him something. "What is it?"

His eyes that were all ready cared became terrified as he looked around. "He's here." Astra's hand move to Vision's Stone, her middle finger lightly touching it to feel what it was saying. And just as she though, he was coming.

"Thanos." Astra whispered. The wind got faster and the leaves rustled. The cosmicite looked at Wanda with a pained look. "Wanda..." Her voice cracked. She saw this. Her vision made sense now where Wanda had to destroy the Stone. She touched the young girls cheek lightly before standing. and rushing to the rest of the group.

"Everyone on my position. We have incoming." Steve said into the coms.

Everyone was looking at the sudden change in weather, confusion describing them really. "What the hell?" Natasha muttered.

Astra stopped next to Steve, her heart rate off the charts. Something drastic would have to happen so that her father wouldn't get the stone, and she really hoped that anything would stop it. Not far from them, blue and dusty portal opened. Thanos stepping out of it. He observed the group of heroes that stood between him at his goal, his eyes softening when seeing his own daughter. She looked strong and undaunted, but her eyes held more fear than a child in a haunted house when she say 5 out of 6 stone on the gauntlet.

"Cap, that's him." Bruce voiced.

Steve's vibranium shield got larger when he lifted it. "Eye's up. Stay sharp."

"Steve-" Astra tried to warn him, but he didn't listen and engaged anyways.

Bruce tried to tackle him, but using the Space Stone, Thanos made him phase right through in and into the rocky cliff. And then the Power Stone to throw Steve to the side. He lifted T'Calla off the ground before punching him to the ground, his suit not being able to hold that amount of kinetic energy and spread out when he hit the ground. And then Saw was thrown on the ground.

Astra looked over at Wanda and Vision, the girls red power circling her hands as she prepared to destroy the stone. Her lip quivered and tears filled her eyes, knowing that she would lose him. Astra bit her bottom lip, already seeing a part of her future break down. Astra turned away and looked back at the battle between her friends and father. They were all risking their lives while she stood there in fear, hope just flickering on and off inside her, begging to turn back on into the roaring flame it once was, but threatening to burn out.

When seeing him trap Natasha under the rocks, Astra couldn't take it. He hurt her family too much. He hurt his own daughter. She created one large sword the size of her entire leg as a tear fell down her cheek. Right now, Steve tried to hold him off and Astra knew she was next. Steve held Thanos off, both hands holding back the gauntlet. Thanos seemed surprised at his strength as it got harder.

He got tired of all the obstacles, punching Steve to the ground. "No!" Astra yelled out. The little flicker getting smaller. She ran forward, sword swinging across, but he blocked it with the golden glove.
