Outside

"Tony" cap said, but I wasn't bothered to listen. I had to figure out how to get the kid out of the stone "tony" he said again
He grabbed my shoulder from behind me, which startled me a bit.

"What" I said a little aggravated
"We can figure this out, we beat thanos, I'm sure we can figure out how to get everyone out of the stone" he protested
"I just need to think" I walked away and sat down on a rock

I reflected on what had happened in these past few days
We searched the universe, found a guy called red skull who Steve fought 80 years ago, ran into Loki who is actually alive, found thanos on the other side of Titan, we fought him, defeated him, took the stones, figured out that all the people thanos sacrificed after he obtained the soul stone was inside the soul stone and now we are trying to get everyone out of the stone. But how?

"Ahhhhhh think tony, think" I stressed myself. Then I had an idea "hey Bruce, come listen to this crazy idea" I shouted to him
He came over "what have you got?"
"What if we destroyed the stone?" I suggested "we could give it a shot but what if something goes wrong?" He thought aloud
"Like?" I protested
"What if it doesn't work and it kills them?" Bruce argued
"How else will we get them out?"  I defended my idea

We brought together the team, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Thor, vision (who Bruce, Shuri and myself restored) the raccoon named rocket, okoye, nebula, rhodes, Scott/ ant-man and a new girl named Carol Danvers But calls herself captain marvel.

"Ok guys, I got a crazy idea" I started
They all looked at me
"If we try destroy the stone or at least crack it, maybe just maybe it will let everyone free." I said
"that's a crap idea... but it's the only one we have, so I think we give it a go" Nat gave her opinion
"Let's give it a go" cap called the final decision

We designed a plan that would hopefully break the stone. Our plan? Let all hell loose on the stone, everyone uses their powers, ability's and strength and crack it.

"Are you sure this will work?" loki asked in a sarcastic voice 
"Not sure might as well give it a go though" I defended myself
"Good enough" he responded

I tapped the arc reactor on my chest, and my restored bleeding edge armour covered me. We decided we'd use force first, Cap, Bruce/hulk, Captain Marvel and Thor would strike the stone one at a time. If that didn't work we'd move onto weapons, Natasha, Clint and rocket. If that failed then Rhodes and I would shoot out beams at it. Scott, okoye, vision and Loki stood to the side

Steve, hulk, Thor and Carol stepped up to the orange stone on the floor, they where in a line.

Steve acted first, he ran up to the stone and hit it smack bang in the middle with his shield, nothing happened. Hulk went next, he failed too. So did miss marvel (that's my nickname for her). Thor's new Axe would surely break it right?

He flew up with the storm breaker and landed straight down on the stone with blue streaks of lightning forcing us to look away.
Once it cleared  we all looked to the stone. And what we saw dumbfounded us.

It was still in one piece, no crack not even a scratch.

"Wha- how-" Thor fumbled
"Well brother looks like your not the most powerful here" Loki teased
"Shut up Loki" he shot back
"Let's just go on to the weapons group" I said worried

Clint, Natasha and rocket stood with their weapons
Clint had his bow, Nat had her hand held guns and rocket had a massive machine gun that looked way to big for him.

"We gonna do this or what?" Rocket asked
"Let's go" black widow returned

They fired all at once creating a sort of mega blast, Clint's arrow hit first and as always he never missed, Natasha's bullets hit next followed by rockets
When the smoke cleared we could see the stone had been moved back by at least two meters but still nothing had broken it.

"Damn it" I cursed
"Well That did absolutely nothing" rocket shrugged
"Next" Cap called out

Me and Rhodes stepped up
"You ready for this?" He asked
"I swear if this doesn't work" I threatened the stone
We powered up our suits. Hands out....and..SHOOT. Two Light beams came from our Armours to join and make one huge Ray. We watched as it hit the stone then we looked away because of the blinding light . When the brightness went down we looked back.

I frowned "nothing" the stone was still in perfect condition if only visions stone was still in his head, we could use his power right about now

"Now what?" Clint asked the question everyone was clearly thinking
"We come up with a new plan" I responded then walked away

If I can't get peter out of there I'll be blaming myself for what happened for the rest of my life. The poor kid, I wonder if knows he's in the stone

"Tony!" I herd Cap call out "wait up"
He ran to my side and slowed down
"Tony I know how you feel bucky's-"
"Bucky is a 100 year old man like you, who I lost, he was just a kid, a 17 year old kid who I shouldn't have brought along." I snapped
"From what I herd you didn't bring him along, he took it upon himself to help you" Steve said in a calmer voice
"I shouldn't have recruited him when we where fighting" I started
"When we fought, he almost beat me you know, that's saying something, the kid has heart and obviously courage" Steve said back
I thought about that, even if I wanted him to go, he wouldn't of, because he wanted to help me, so now I have to help him.

"Boys! Come over here" we both looked back to see Nat waving us to come
"Whats wrong?" Steve asked
"Carol has an idea" she responded
I lit up, there was still hope.
Carol came over to us
"What's the idea?" I asked impatiently

"Only massive amounts of power and energy can destroy the stones, and all the stone have a huge amount of power and energy, so if I use the infinity gauntlet to wield the other five stones to then destroy the one." She explained

This could work, it could
"Would you be up to doing that?" Cap asked
She nodded
"Let's do it then" I responded

Captain Marvel slid the glove on, it was way to big for her but she managed. She made her hand form a fist then pointed the five stones at the soul stone, she took a deep breath in.
"Here we go" she said then she blasted the soul stone with the others mainly using the power stone. We tried to look at the stone through the blinding light but it was to much.
After a minute she stopped and fell to the ground.
"Is she alright?" Loki asked but didn't do anything

We rushed to the stone

It had cracked open straight through the middle.

"Why isn't everyone coming back?" Scott asked
"Did it not work?" Vision wondered

I looked down, tears threatening to drop down my face. Then a glow came from the stone and somebody appeared next to Rhode. They re formed to show that it was....Sam!
He smiled
"Oh man am I glade to see you guys"

Next somebody else went next to vision.
It was Wanda
She looked around, she saw vision and started to cry, she pulled him into a hug
next came t'challa who appeared to the right of okoye.
More came,
The shirtless guy called drax, then The insect girl named Mantis, emerged to my right
Then... a tree?..... in front of rocket
Then Clint's family.
Then Bucky came back
Then strange, who came in front of me
"Tony" he said
"Yeah good to see you too"
Next to come back was quill. He looked around, a green lady appeared next to nebula they hugged then she ran to Peter Quill. That must be gamora

But where was the kid
"Strange where's peter?" I asked him
"I....don't know he should be here"

We waited a minute. Was he not coming? Then the stone lit up and a person came out of the stone. It was peter. He stood in front of me eyes closed. He suddenly fell down, he was unconscious. I sat down next to him. His eyes where still closed

"Kid.....kid" I tried to wake him up
His eyes opened.
