Tony went to swipe the infinity stones but they weren't there. He panicked. Only to realize Thanos didn't have them anymore either. He looked around to see who could have taken them. He prayed it wasn't Peter. It wasn't.
A suit of his own design stepped into view. It was another suit he had made for Pepper but she was already on the battlefield. So who was this women? The girl slapped the stones into place. The power surged from the gauntlet into the human inside the suit. A yelled ripped into the air. The opposite hand came up and ripped the face plate of the suit off to reveal a young girl. She was breathing frantically. She seemed to be unable to catch a full breath.Thanos locked eyes eyes with her "Those aren't a toy, little one." She tapped her fingers to the chest of the suit and immediately the suit retracted. Revealing a black spandex one piece suit. It looked so much like Natasha's that Tony felt a stab of pain at the very thought. Dark brown hair Cascaded down her shoulders. A thin long cut on her forehead made her brown eyes stand out. "You...messed w-with my..family" she stuttered out. The Titan took steps toward her. Him being near her made her look even smaller than she already was.
She is a slimly built but Tony didn't let that fool him. "Everything must be perfectly balanced" She laughs but it's full of sarcasm and hate. "You are wrong, you know! You are not inevitable. I may not have been able to save my timeline but I will save this one!" She holds out her palm and Storm Breaker comes flying into her waiting hand. Thunder crackles around her as she draws up energy and with a warrior's cry she unleashes the biggest Lightning blast in the history of lightning "This is for Gamora, Natasha, Vision and Loki." Her eyes shimmer with power as she strikes.
Something goes wrong. Thanos's hand is around her neck and she can't breathe. He easily lifts her into the air over his head. Her tiny hands slamming into his bigger one "Now this is familiar." Her movements are getting more panicked and sloppier. Is this what Loki felt? Was he this scared? He's choking the life out of her again! She's choking trying to fully expand her lungs but can't. Carol Danvers strikes the Titan down hard enough that he releases her. She falls into the waiting arms of Captain America and clings to him for a moment. She takes deep gulps of air. Her thin arms around his neck. His strong arms around her lower back, his fingers around her lower ribs. His left arm under her knees, grasping them tightly but not too tight to be uncomfortable.
She curls her tiny body into his as he runs across the battlefield. She's not sure exactly where their going. She feels like a failure. She came here to save everyone but she underestimated her enemy. She couldn't save Gamora or Natasha. The Soul Stone needed a sacrifice and sadly it couldn't be undone.
POV Change
I am shifted to another pair of arms. I want to get up but my lungs are screaming for a break. I'm wheezing probably from the pressure that was applied to my airway. "Is the lady well?" I knew that accent very well. I open my eyes to see Thor who really let himself go. What would everyone accept? He lost everything. I could give him something back though.
I slowly sit up to be met with Bucky's face "Take it easy kid" he supports me in his strong arms. I nod "I'm okay, Barnes" Iwiggle to slip my feet to the ground and he keeps his metal arm around my shoulders to balance me. I reach into my suit and pull out a Emerald snake. The animal curls around my fingers and holds on tight. Bucky's eyes are staring at me as I walk up to the thunder god. I take great care in holding my arms up to him "I believe you lost this." He takes a knee to be closer to my height and with care I didn't know he had, he took the snake into his hands.
The snake wraps around his hand quickly and with a trembling hand, he runs two fingers down the spine of the animals scales. He gives me a confused but hopeful look and I just smile. A sob rips from his throat and tears fall from his different colored eyes. "B-Brother?" There is a cloud of green mist and Thor's arms are full with the God of Mischief.
Thor push's Loki's black hair away from his face and stares into those green eyes he'd never thought he'd see again. Loki allows it "I told you the sun would shine on us again, brother." Thor laughs deeply and it's a sound you'd always wanna keep hearing "Aye you did." Thor cups his little brother head to his shoulder then locks eye with me "Thank you young one." I smile. Thor wouldn't be broken anymore. He wouldn't be depressed. He wouldn't...I didn't wanna remember the memory of his blood everywhere.
I look back at Barnes. This is who killed my grandparents. When I found out I was over come with rage but now it's now gone. It really wasn't James fault, it was Winter's. The person Hydra made. This is Steve's closest friend. The one who was so important that Steve thrusted his shield into my father's chest in Siberia. I was still very angry over that but I couldn't let it get to me now.
I reached for his human hand and slowly slipped my small hand into his larger one. He snapped his head down to me. I reached my other hand to my neck and yanked the chain over my head, careful to not snag it on my hair. I place it in his metal hand and curl his fingers to close around it "I believe this belongs to you."
He brings his hand closer to his face to reveal my surprise. It's his sliver dog tags from the war. "Sargent James Buchanan Barnes of the 107th division" written clear as day in them.The moment of peace didn't last as I heard someone yell out "Who has the stones now?!" My gauntlet was empty and I quickly realized Thanos didn't have them either. So who could? It hit me like a ton of bricks "Peter!" I yelled his name and searched frantically for him. Oh god, where is he? I couldn't let him become a shell of himself like he was after my father's death. I wouldn't allow it. Peter didn't deserve it. I tuned my wrist comm "Anyone have eyes on Spider Man?" No one answered me. They didn't how this was important "Ironman do you have eyes on Spider Man?!" There was silence for a moment "I lost him in the fray" my heart starts pounding.
I look to Bucky and hesitate "A-Are you with me?" I know it was so much to ask. He didn't really know me yet. We didn't have a bond. This wasn't MY Bucky. This wasn't MY original family. He looks to Thor and nods. I look at both of them "Til the end of the line" I whisper.
