The Space Between Our Love (Thor x Carol Danvers)

✵Part 8✵

(Narrator's POV)

It had been the first 10 minutes, then 15 minutes, then 20, then 25, Steve kept track, getting more worried as each minute passed. He knew something had happened, he felt it in his gut, soon Peter's spidey sense had him go stiff, and Loki just needed to look at both their weird, worried looking faces.

"Something's wrong, Y/n should be back by now." Steve said as all three of them started packing everything and walked as quickly as possible back to the compound.

"Shouldn't we have told Ms. Danvers and Mr. Thor?"

"Let's not worry them for now, they should have this time to themselves." Loki answered Peter.

"Friday. Call Tony and the rest of the team to get here fast, tell them it's an emergency."

"On it." Friday answered. Soon enough everyone was here, Tony and Bruce were the last ones, Tony with his project still in hand, Bruce's eyes stuck to the ipad he was holding.

"What did you need Steve, Bruce and I really need to get back to work. Can this wait?"

"No, It can't. Have any of you guys seen Y/n, she was supposed to come and get some marshmallows, but she hasn't come back in like 40 minutes."

Now Tony didn't care about his project, he looked up at Steve to see if he was lying, why would he? Tony had completely forgotten about his project, so did Bruce, they just shared a glance, until in a fit of rage, Tony threw the project across the room, almost hitting Peter, but still making Peter flinch.

"Y/n search for Y/n everywhere, I want to see security footage, search every street of every state, I don't care, but we're gonna find her-" That's when the Tv caught his attention.

"We interrupt this broadcast with some shocking news... Justin Hammer has escaped prison, it has been confirmed that he has been missing for now over a week..."

Then it clicked, he has to have her, he has to. Tony couldn't remember, he was trying so hard, but he's making a mess of things in the lab, everyone just watching him, and asking endlessly. He was trying to find it, he knew he didn't throw it away, he saw it, read it, but didn't think much of it. I mean for all he knew Hammer was still in his cell, or so he thought.

"Tony stop, what's going on, is there something you need to tell us about Y/n?" Steve asked, he had grabbed Tony stopping him from what he was doing, and made him look him in the eye, and tell him what was going on.

"He has her, I'm sure of it, he has to."

"Who?"

"Justin Hammer. He promised he would, he promised he would take something of mine and make me pay, I thought he meant Pepper, guess I was wrong." Then he spotted it, he got out of Steve's tight grip and snatched it from the table.

***

You know Tony, I really would love not having to do this, but there was no other choice. It's been so long, and now, I finally get to have my revenge for what you did. Y/n seems like such a sweet girl, but I would love to see your own blood in pain.

Hard isn't it, to see your whole world just, be gone, but don't worry your gonna get to see very clearly, your Avenger friends better not go looking for her, because if they do, consider her dead. Oh and Happy Late Birthday. Not really, go to hell :)

"That son of a bitch!" He crumpled the paper and threw it across the room, "Friday you got anything? Everyone suit up. Cap you stay with me." Soon it was just Steve and Tony.

"How did this happen." Tony managed to say in the most calm voice.

"I don't know Tony. She said she was only getting marshmallows and then I started to get worried I-" He didn't know, no one could, Tony put a hand on his shoulder.

"We're gonna find her Steve, I promise you we will."

"Sir, the team wants to know what they should do next." Tony looked at Steve and nodded.

"Tell them to get both Thor and Carol, tell them what's going on, and get the jet ready as fast as they can." Steve responded.

"On it." Soon they were off. Tony knew where they would be, he knows Justin Hammer is one of the brightest, but the dumbest person in the world, even if he escaped prison, and he secretly put a tracker on all of Y/n's shoes, in case this happened.

Peter couldn't help but blame himself, if he didn't just get them himself then none of this would have happened. 

"Peter." Loki called, Peter just looked up at him, with sad puppy dog eyes. "It's not your fault."

"I don't think I agree with you on that." Peter looked back down.

"Well I do," Steve chimed in, slightly smiling at the poor boy, "None of us could have known this would happen, all we gotta do now is get her back."

"We will Mr. Rogers."

"Look Peter how many times do I have to tell you, call me Steve. I can't have my soon-to-be-brother-in-law call me by my last name." This caused Peter to look up, Steve had a small but very noticeable smirk, and everyone definitely heard, and everyone meant so did Tony. Tony just glared at Steve, as if saying 'this wasn't the time to talk about this,' and 'when this is all over I'm gonna kill you.'

As they landed close to an old building that used to be Hammer industries, they saw that something weird was happening inside. There were what looked like explosions, but it wasn't explosions, it was more of purple energy being thrown around. They all just all sprinted carefully inside.

Tony was the first to go in, and was definitely shocked by what he saw happening right in front of him.
