My eyes open due to a flare of sunlight that hits me directly on the lids. Once I adjust to the light, I reckon I'm in the place I've called home for the past two years. I'm back in the Wakandan forest where I remember I turned to dust. Next to me, Bucky incorporates himself while holding his head with his natural hand. The moment we lock eyes, we're pulling each other into an embrace. I don't know what went on, but the last time I saw him, he was turning to dust.

"What the hell happened?" I whisper, not really expecting an answer, but rather to myself. That's why I'm surprised when I get a reply.

"Thanos snapped and half of the population on earth turned into dust." A short, Asian guy says and Bucky and I let go of each other. He's wearing robes and around his wrists, he has two circles made of light orbiting. One of the circles magically disappears when he sticks out his hand to help me get up. "You did not survive, it's been 5 years and there's another fight." I blink at what he's saying. Is he for real? "C'mon! We gotta go!"

I turn to Bucky, who's already gazing at me, and I give him the saddest look. "Another fight?" I really hate this...

"Anna..." He intertwines his fingers with mine. "Together."

I sight before crashing my lips onto his. The only way I can do this is by his side. "Together."

T'Challa approaches us with a new couple of guns for us. A moment later, the Asian man from before starts moving his arms in circles, opening a giant portal to a destroyed landscape.

There's two armies facing each other. One is lead by the mad titan, Thanos, and its size it's impressive, not gonna lie. Still, we're the other army. And we're more than enough to defeat them.

In first line, Cap is holding his shield on one hand and Thor's magic hammer on the other.

"Avengers...!" He yells and we get into position. I'm waiting for him to say something else, to indicate when we should start our attack.

But if he does I don't hear it.

Everyone suddenly starts running against the enemy army. I load my gun as my legs move, dodging and jumping the debris on the ground. I spot on the distance a giant encircled A and I realize we're in the Avengers compound. Or at least where it used to be.

"Don't let him get the gauntlet!" I hear Dr. Banner, now in his Hulk form, warn us. It baffles me for a second. I've heard that voice very recently, but know I can't stop to think about it. I do, however, get a glimpse of his arm, which is now severely burnt.
