Chapter Ten

Thanos

I hide away as we planned. I've managed to regain my strength and shift thanks to everyone's help once Peter explained the situation. I'm so scared. I'm not completely restored but enough to fight. To protect Peter. "Oh, yeah. You're much more of a Thanos." Strange speaks. "I take it Maw is dead." His voice isn't what I expected but it suits him. "This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission." Cocky. "You may regret that. he brought you face-to-face with the Master of Mystic Arts." I can't even focus at this point. This is so dangerous. I can't lose Peter. No matter what I'll protect him. Strange's wizard power sounds snap me out of my worst-case scenario montage. "Our?" Shit. The plan starts. I smoke floating behind him. He can't see me. Peter webs his eye and kicks him in the face. Why can't Tony just let me help? That's it I'm helping. I form metal mid-air and land my foot hard against his back. I smoke slipping between his legs. Quill joining in. Quill passing off the explosive to me and I slap it on his back. Quill flicks him off and jumps back into a portal. "Boom!" he taunts.  It electrifies down his whole arm and opens his hand. Alright. So far so good. Strange's cape wraps around Thanos's open hand. As he struggles with it Strange portals Peter in. He's making quick work of delivering blows. Thanos slams him down by the throat. I whiz in and wrap my flaming hand around his wrist and pull him off. I expected him to be much stronger than me. He grunts in pain at the heat. His eyes glaze me over and he seems amused. My confusion leaves me open for him to toss me back at Strange.  He rips the cape off and Tony comes in with an air assault. He absorbs it and shoots it back at Tony. "No!" I rise to my feet. Running back in full force with Peter. Peter webs his hand down but Thanos pulls him with it into a punch. I'm left catching Peter. Suddenly a ship flies in and hits him. Some bald, blue, robot chick starts attacking him. Strange grabs at him with magic and forces his hand open. Drax drops in and kicks him down to a kneel. I slide in and take a strong hold of his other hand. Making myself as heavy as I can imagine. Peter webs him and Tony works at the gauntlet. Peter's struggling grunts behind me. The bug girl is dropped in on his head. I guess she sedates him in away. Tony calls in Peter to help him with the gauntlet. "I thought you'd be hard to catch." Quill. This doesn't seem like the time for this. "For the record, this was my plan. You're not so strong now, huh?" He's being an idiot. "Where is Gamora?" "My Gamora."  "No, bullshit!" This isn't the time god damn it. "Where is she?" He demands. "He is in anguish." Bug lady announces. "Good," Quill says. "He... He mourns." She informs. Oh no. "What does this monster have to mourn?" Drax asks. "Gamora." The blue woman speaks. Quill turns to her. "What?" "He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone. But she didn't." "Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now. You understand?" Tony steps in.  "Don't, don't. Don't engage. We almost got this off!" He pleas. "Tell me she's lying." Quill snaps. "Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!" He shouts. "I had to." "No, you didn't." Quill, please. In a quick snap of poor judgement out of anger and sadness, Quill royally fucks up. Delivering a hard punch to Thanos. "Quill, No!" I shout. He hits him again. Tony stops him and Peter almost has it off. Yes. Come on. So close. 

All a sudden he headbutts the lady off his head. No. He pushes Peter away and puts the gauntlet back on. Then flings bug lady off him. Peter catches her. Thanos flings everyone away. Except for me. He looks at me still latched to him. My skin boiling. I can feel myself burning him. He blasts people down and knocks Tony back. He ruptures a nearby moon most likely and showers it down on us. Peter makes quick work of catching everyone. The impact from the hits knocked me off but I still stand. Strange attacks. I smoke and watch him multiply. He catches him. I speed over as fast as I can after being knocked back so far. He tosses him and Tony drops back in. Come on dad. He fights hard. "No!" I cry out as he stabs him. I rush over. I drop down on him. My weight nearly knocking him over. He takes hold of my arm and twists it around even in its metal form. "Argh." I cry out in pain. My face twisting from pain to rage. Tony can't die either. Please, dad. I cry out as I burst into flames burning myself from his grip. I form into a large version on my self. Not rock monster but fire. I move swiftly. It's hard for him to grab me when I'm literal fire. My father's gargling blood enrages me more. I burn so hotly I'm white. I jump up delivering a hard blow to him. Everything goes white for a second. He kneels a few feet from me. He looks up at me. He stands. So do I. He approaches and I do as well. I deliver a swift kick to his side. He catches me leg and I land on my leg with a thud. His hand on my head pinning me down. "Wait!" Strange calls out. "Spare them... and I will give you the stone." He announces. "No tricks," Thanos says. "Don't." Tony pleads. He hands it over. Thanos keeps his foot on my back. Quill comes in. Shooting at his gauntlet. Thanos looks down at me. "I'll be back for you." Then he teleports away. I rush over to Tony. "Dad." My hands hover afraid to touch him. "It's okay baby. Don't worry about your pops. I'll be fine." "Did we just lose?" Quill asks. "Why would you do that?" Tony turns to Strange. "We're in the endgame now." He responds.

Peter sits with me and Tony. He holds me close. My tears dried on my face. Peter places soft kisses on my face. "Something's happening." The bug girl speaks up. Suddenly she dissolves away. "Oh god." I turn to cling to Peter. He holds me tight. My tears return. "Peter!" I can feel him leaving me. Dad rushes over. Peter gradually lays on the ground. "Peter please." I hold him in my lap. Dad sitting with us. "You're okay kid," Dad says. His hand taking hold of Tony's. "I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go, sir. Please." "Peter. Look at me." I ask. When he does I lift his head so that I can kiss him. "Peter. I love you." I sob out. "I love you." He smiles. I pull him up into a hug with me and dad. "I'm sorry." He whispers. The last bit of him fading from existence. My hand reaching out at the last bits of him fleeting. I retract my hands back to my chest. I collapse into my father's chest as it all comes out. My emotions taking over. Tony lets me go and backs away. I cry out as my body bursts into a beam of light. All my energy is gone. I topple over. I lay on the ground. My eyes are wide open.

And my heart,

Empty.
