AVENGE THE FALLEN; ENDGAME

Chapter Eleven

They all waited in the lab, watching them sit around the new assembled gauntlet. It held all six infinity stones, as she neared the power stone she wanted to touch it, her chest glowed making Rocket nudge her back a bit.

"All right. The glove's ready. Question is, who's gonna snap their freaking fingers?" Rocket questioned.

"I'll do it." Thor step forward.

"Excuse me?" Scott looked at the over weight god of thunder.Everyone started to shout or argue while Athea sat in a chair with her knees brought to her chest, something didn't seem right. Something felt off. When everyone was arguing she walked up to the glove with a scalpel and started to chisel her piece off.

The fake Nebula scoffed from aside and watched her levitate it into her palms, it absorbed into her skin making the Aliens eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Wait, wait, Thor, just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet!" Steve stated. Athea quickly slipped back into her and pretended not to do notice anything. As far as anyone knows she still grieving.

"I'm sorry. What, we're just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?" Thor questioned.

"We should at least discuss it." Scott reasoned.

"No, no, sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty." Thor argued.

"But it's not th-" tony was cut off the Thor.

"It's not that– Stop it! Just let me! Just let me do it. Just let me do something good. Something right." He begged. Thor started to tear up.

"Look– It's not just the fact that that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you, you're in no condition." Tony explained.

"What do you– What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?" Thor asked.

"Fat..." Athea replied. The group of men turn toward her in surprise at her answer. Tony held his snort and bit his tongue to keep from laughing.

"No. Lightning." He corrected.

"Yeah." Tony rolled his eyes.

"Lightning won't help you, pal. It's gotta be me." Bruce said. "You saw what those stones did to Thanos. It almost killed him. None of you could survive. Athea could be absorbed into the glove because she is the stone!"

"How do we know you will?" Steve asked Banner.

"We don't. But the radiation's mostly gamma...it like I was made for this." His eyes scans the gauntlet. Meanwhile fake Nebula is heading to the Quantum portal to report to her father about the news she heard. Especially about her discovery about the girl.

"Good? We ready to go?" Tony asked.

"Let's do it!" Banner answered.

"You remember– everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years." Tony said sternly.

"Ok! Got it." Banner waved him off.

Athea let's out a small smile and heads back into her room to change into her gear. It's a skin tight, sleeves body suit, all her mother sleeves were either melting or getting destroyed in battle so Natasha had made her a new one. The brunette sniffled as her fingers traced her outfit. She clasped Natasha's old charm bracelet around her wrist and clipped her dads necklace around her collar bone. Athea laced up her boots and met back with the other in the main room again. She cracked her neck and pulled up her mask to hide half her face once again.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y., do me a favor and activate Barn Door Protocol. Will you?"

"Yes boss." The AI responded. As on cue the whole compound locks down. Everything is sealed shut.

"Let's bring everyone home." Banner sighes

Bruce slides the golden gauntlet on, right away the power surge overwhelms him. He gritts his teeth in pain as pain swarms his body.

"Take it off! Take it off!" Thor yelled

"No wait! Bruce are you okay?" Steve stopped the god of thunder from taking the glove.

"Talk to me banner." Tony said

"I'm okay. I'm okay." He breathed out.

Bruce yells in agony fighting through the pain traveling throughout his body because of the gauntlet but he still manages to snap his fingers. The big scientist fell to the ground knocked out.

Athea kicked away the glove with her boot.

"Did it work?" She asked the group.

"Don't move him." Tony warned.

Bruce started to stir awake and latched onto Steve's arm. "Did..Did it work?" He croaked.

"Worth a shot. It's over. It's okay." Thor mumbled.

Athea walked to a window, the sun flooded in the room. Her eyes wandered over the plants and trees that appeared. Everything looked happier and peaceful.

The archer walks over to his phone when his ring tone echoed throughout the room. "Honey? Is that you?" He choked.

"Guys i think it worked!" Scott yelled in happiness.

Athea woke up with murky water splashed down in her face. She smelled of metallic felt a liquid running down her chin. It looked like an explosion had occurred. The last thing she remembered was hugging Steve and then boom!

"Hey firecracker wake up" someone shook her. Her eyes opened more too see a figure standing above her. It was Clint and he held the gauntlet in his other hand.

She sat up and pulled down her mask, she coughed out some blood that invaded her mouth when she was knocked out from before onto the metal floor beside his foot. Clint helped her up to her feet and saw a dark tunnel before them.

"What happened?" She coughed.

"I would like to know that to." He answered. It was room dark to see, she held out her palm and launched a purple light infront of them. They weren't alone, hordes of these creatures were running towards them fast.

"Damn!" He cursed under his breathe.

"The Damn is correct indeed." Athea mumbled
The two superhero's bolted down the opposite way while the aliens started to chase them.
Athea growled and sent a power blast behind them to demolish their pathway.
