Avengers Imagines

Time Is Everything (Steve Rogers + Avengers)

Summary: After Thanos wipes out half of the universe, Tony tells them what Strange told him and you understand what he meant. Someone must go back in time to save everyone, but in doing so the person must sacrifice themselves. You are the only one with powers that allow you to travel in time, so you do it without telling your boyfriend Steve the price.

Warnings: angst, death.

"Oh god" Steve exclaimed sitting next to Vision's dead body.

"there must be a way to fix this" you told the others.

"there isn't. We lost. Vision's dead, Wanda's dead, B- Bucky and half of our planet is gone" Steve lost all hope which wasn't in his nature.

"Hey, hey" you noticed the pain he was feeling and hugged him. He put his head on your chest and cried, you held him tightly and kissed his head trying to stay strong for him.

You stayed in Wakanda with the rest of the team, helping the injured and rebuilding what was destroyed. But the truth is, Steve didn't want to leave because he wasn't ready to face the world yet.

After a week Tony arrived with robot looking girl. You haven't seen him in two years. You and Tony were close, but after you chose to side with Steve you lost contact. You were very happy to see him now, even Steve was. They put their differences aside and were ready to work together again.

"Tony" you ran to hug him. At first he was surprised that you were glad to see him, then he hugged back.

"Long time no see... This is Nebula... She's Thanos' daughter, but she's an ally" he introduced.

"Hey, I'm y/n. Nice to meet you" you shook her hand "come on, let me show you around" you guided them.

"Babe, look who's here" you entered the lab where Steve was.

He looked up and stood in silence.

"Captain" Tony greeted.

"Stark" he greeted back "I thought you were dead".

"Well I'm here, so... who's left of the team?" Tony asked.

"Me, y/n, Bruce, Nat, Thor, Rhody and you apparently" he informed him.

"everyone else-"

"dead. They'll all dead" he looked down.

"I'm sorry for your loss" Tony apologized.

"Wasn't that spider boy with you?" you asked.

"He's dead too and it's my fault" Tony regretted.

"I'm sorry and it's not your fault. All of this is Thanos' fault. So instead of blaming yourselves, let's work on a plan to defeat him" you suggested.

"There's no defeating him now. He's got all of the stones, he wiped out half of the universe and he's gone" Tony said.

"Now you sound like Steve. What's wrong with you? Both of you are not likely to give up that easily. You're always optimistic and hopeful, what happened to that?" you asked them.

"what do you want me to do, huh? There's literally nothing to be done. He's gone and we have nothing to find him and have no way of defeating him, unless you have a plan you'd like to share" Steve said.

"No, I don't. But we'll figure it out. We always do" you had hope.

"what happened to you? You were always a pessimist, what changed?" Tony asked.

"apparently, we changed roles. Someone has to have hope for the rest of the team. And if you or Steve won't then I'll have to. But it'll be helpful if you started to think about a plan with me" you explained.
