Apex Avenger: Till The End

Ch 5

Small Time Skip

I'm sitting on my windowsill looking out at nothing specific. My Wakandan arm playing with my dog tags that had the names of all the fallen Avengers and Natasha's ring. I start to feel rumbling and a shadow starts to form over the sky. My eyebrows furrow before my eyes slightly widen.

Steve, Rhodey, Bruce and I run outside to see a huge shipped carried by a woman. The ship lands and out comes Tony and someone else helping him stand. Steve and I make our way to Tony to help.

"Uncle Tony!" I exclaim as I embrace him.

"Couldn't stop him." He says weakly.

"Neither could I." Steve tells him.

"I lost her uncle Tony." I tell him and he gives me a sad look.

"Tony, we lost." Steve says helping him walk inside.

We're all in the lab, Tony attached to IVs to help him heal. Holographic screens popped up showing the casualties, names and faces being listed.

"It's been 23 days since Thanos came to Earth." Rhodey says.

"World governments are in pieces. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census. And it looks like he did, he did exactly what he said he was gonna do. Thanos wiped out fifty percent, of all living creatures." Steve says crossing his arms over his chest.

"Where is he now? Where?" Tony asks.

"We don't know. He just opened a portal and walked through." Steve shakes his head.

Tony then turns to see Thor sitting outside on a bench by himself.

"What's wrong with him?" He asks.

"Oh he's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which of course he did, but you know there's alot of that going around here, ain't there?" Rocket tells him.

"Honestly, until this exact second. I thought you were a Build a Bear." He responds.

"Maybe I am." Rocket says.

"I see you have a new arm." Uncle Tony says and I know he's talking to me.

"Yeah, T'Challa, he...yeah." I nod, not wanting to talk as I'm looking down.

"We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks now. Deep Space scans, and satellites, and we got nothing. Tony you fought him." Steve tells him.

"Who told you that? I didn't fight him. No, he wiped my face with a planet while the Bleeker Street Magician gave away the stone. That's what happened. There was no fight." He scoffs frustrated.

"Alright." Steve sighs.

"He's unbeatable." He says shaking his head.

Tony looks over to see a sad Apex and his heart tugs as he looks down.

"I need to shave." He sighs standing up making me look up.

He goes to walk away but stumbles falling to the ground.

"Uncle Tony!" I exclaim and we immediately go to him.

"I'm fine I-." Tony says before he passes out.

"Bruce gave him a sedative. He's gonna probably be out for the rest of the day." Rhodey says coming back from taking Tony to bed with Pepper.

Carol Danvers goes to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I ask breaking my silence.

"I'm going to kill Thanos." She says making me roll my eyes.
