My Family (Stephen Strange)

Chapter 3

"Giving us your name doesn't help Carol. Why did Fury send you," Steve asked.

"He sent me here to help. I didn't know what it was until I got a premonition. Of a mad Titan named Thanos. Fury didn't tell me the name, Hazel Barnes. It was said in my premonition."

"Hazel what do you think," Tony asked.

"My gut and heart say trust her but my head says don't," Hazel said.

"What was it your dad taught you to trust more? Head or heart," Natasha asked.

"Heart. Let's hear her out. Maybe she is meant to help us."

Everyone put down their weapons and sat down on the couch as Carol stood to pace.

"Where are you from," Steve asked.

"There's not a lot about my past that I don't remember. The main thing I know is that I'm human but I have powers."

"What kind of powers," Tony asked.

"Superhuman strength, speed, endurance, stamina, energy projection and absorption, flight, and premonitions. Hazel has one power that matches mine. Premonitions."

"What do you want," Bruce asked.

"To find out I need Hazel's help. We need to join hands and have a premonition."

Carol held out her hands and waited. Sighing Hazel stood up and placed her hands in Carols. They closed their eyes and concentrated. Soon they were pulled into a premonition.

"Carol we kinda need you over here," Tony called through the comms.

"Hazel and I are pinned down with Shuri and Nebula against Midnight and Maw. How the hell was Thanos able to bring them back? Never mind. Besides you have Rocket, M'Baku, Thor, and everyone else," Carol replied.

"Well you guys got Lang," Steve joined.

"Scott went to help you guys Uncle Steve. I knew it was a bad idea to send Tony to retrieve the Soul Stone," Hazel said.

"In my defense---"

"Shut up Tony," Everyone yelled.

"Guys what was supposed to be a gender reveal is now a battle for our lives and the lives of others," Hazel said.

"Well who's idea was it to send Tony to get the Soul Stone," Bruce asked.

"His," Everyone, but Bruce and Tony, said.

"We're coming to help. Thor, you know the plan," Hazel asked.

"Yes. You and Carol will hold down Thanos long enough for me to cut off his head. After I cut off his head I destroy the Soul Stone, everyone comes back, you gather the remaining pieces of the Soul Stone, take it to Vormir, bring back the one green lady that Nebula talks about, people come back and then we got on with the gender reveal," Thor replied.

"Good. Let's fight," Carol said.

Hazel and Carol opened their eyes gasping for breath. Hazel kneeled on the ground as Carol leaned against the wall.

"How *gasp* long *gasp* were we *gasp* under," Hazel asked gasping for breath in between words

"About a minute," Steve said.

"My premonitions are usually ten to fifteen seconds. Never near a minute," Carol said.

"Mine are the same way. Ten to fifteen seconds. Never near a minute," Hazel agreed.
