I'm no stranger to death. To loss. Although when I've experienced it, death, it's been that of my enemies. The Chitauri, Ultron, SHEILD, HYDRA, Hela, Thanos, the children from The Ring. They tried to do harm and in turn, I ended them to save hundreds and thousands of others who are alive today. I've never experienced loss of those I love... my love...my best friend. I feel empty... yet filled with hurt and sadness.
Night has fallen over Titan and the temperature has dropped rapidly. I haven't moved as time continues to pass me by, my gaze staring sorrowfully over the dark landscape. I use to fear the dark. I should be scared right now. Although I'm not because all I can see in the dark is them. Tony and Bucky, the two men I love more than anything in the universe. All that remains in a tremendous amount of hurt and grief that's left me feeling torn up inside. Standing silently from the crater I created on Titan I curl my fingers and open a portal back to Earth where I know I'm needed. With the base in mind, I jump without looking back.
My feet hitting the white tiled floors I immediately feel a pain in my heart when I realise I'm in the lab. Tony's lab. "Adeline", I hear Bruce quietly call my name. Peering around I see him already in his white coat and spectacles, watching me warily. When I can only give him a small smile Bruce gesture with his hand "They're all in there."
Whispering a small thank you, I wander into the conjoined room. I see Steve leaning over the table, Natasha beside him as they watch the profiles of people scattering across second after second. Rhodey spots me first and shoots up from the couch, watching me expectantly "Addie did you-"
Instantly I'm shaking my head, already feeling my throat thicken. "I think he was dusted" I inform them as Natasha and Steve's heads snap in my direction. All I can do is give a meek shrug "If he's alive and escaped in a ship he won't make it back to Earth in his lifetime. If he's even alive-"
"So you're not sure?" Rhodey questions me expectantly, waving his hand around "As in Tony might still be out there-"
"I don't know!" I yell desperately at Rhodey. When his eyes widen at my outburst I run my hands through my hair, meekly whispering "I just... don't know..." Thankfully Rhodey doesn't hold it against me, instead of walking over and pulling me into a hug. "The same dust was there", I murmur into Rhodey's shoulder as he hugs me tightly "Same as what had been left in Wakanda."
