Bullets || Peter Parker

Thirty one

They left the body of past nebula underground. Gamora and the real Nebula led Emil and Clint through the tunnels and back onto the surface. Clint clutching at the gauntlet to his chest as they moved. Emil gasped as they emerged, eyes taking in the scenery before them.

Everything was in ruins. The whole of avengers hq littered in rubble over the exposed earth. The green lawns and trees gone. Clouds hung in the sky like grey omens, darkening the world. Thanos' ship blocking the sun. Thanos himself stood in a small patch of empty dirt about fifty yards away from where Emil was standing. His figure a hateful presence. Behind him was an massive army. Aliens and creatures Emil had never seen before. The sight sent feelings of fear and hopelessness weighing on his heart. The odds did not look good.

Emil glanced around reflexively for any allies. Any other survivors. A distant red metal sheen of Tony's suit was sparked on the ground to the left. Emil sported Thor's blonde head leaning against a piece of concrete. Both men unconscious and battered. Steve was standing tall in front of Thanos. Emil felt his heart drop at the sight of his shield. Half of the disc broken away. Emil instantly flickered next to Steve with a blue flash. He was not letting his uncle stand alone.

Steve glanced down as Emil appeared beside him. "Hey kid", he greeted as if Thanos was not standing a few feet away. He smiled, face bloody and grimy, and gestured to his ear. "Turn on your comm".Emil frowned but obeyed. He hadn't even realised it was off. Static crackled in his ear.

A voice came through and Emil's face lit up with a blinding grin. "On your left", Sam greeted. Both Steve and Emil turned. A familiar golden circle appeared in the air. It grew bigger and opened. Sunlight streamed through and T'challa, Shuri, and Okoye walked out. Sam soared through on his wings above them as a whole Wakandan army became visible. Behind Shuri, a pale faced man strode onto the earth, metal arm gleaming. Emil sagged with relief and joy at the sight of his friends and father. The snap worked.

Another circle opened up next to it. This one showing a portal to red sands and a recognisable desolate landscape. Dr Strange was the first visible. Shortly followed by the rest of the guardians of the galaxy, Quil, Drax, and Mantis.

But Emil was looking at them. He wa watching as a red and blue figure came swinging on webs through the air. Spider-Man flopped through the portal and landed on top of a tall pile of rubble. The mask folding back to expose his face. He stood there above the destroyed landscape, with his floppy brown hair (that still needed a hair cut) and his wide eyes. Peter survayed the scene and Emil clutched a hand over his mouth, a few tears streaking the blood and dirt on his cheeks. He wanted nothing more than to embrace him, kiss him, make sure that this was real. But this was not the time or place. Reluctantly, not wanting to take his eyes off of Peter again, Emil turned to look around.

Chanting rose up from the wakandans as more and more portals opened around them. Ships came soaring from the sky. More wakandan armies marching over the rubble. Wizards from shanghai amassing with magic symbols raised. Asgardians led by Valkarye on top of a Pegasus joining them with weapons drawn. Others came too. Pepper in a blue and gold suit, a woman with bug wings, Wanda with her red energy. They all moved forward, surrounding around where Steve and Emil were standing.

"Is that all of them?" Dr Strange asked as he stopped next to Steve.

"What? You wanted more?" Wong shot back.

A crashing sound made them all turn. A sixty foot tall ant man burst through the rubble. He bent down and opened his palm. Bruce, Rhodes and Rocket jumped down as joined the ranks. Emil laughed in delight, fear gone now that everyone was there. They blazed in his mind. The energy of their presence a wall of light that lifted him up and supported him. Their army yelled at Thanos' forces. Hundreds of voices promising to defend their world.

Emil raised his blade towards the distant army, body settling into a fighting pose. The lighting blue lines left by the snap glowing along with his eyes as he began channelling energy. The power high still buzzing his veins. Thor and Tony were back on their feet and had come to stand on either side of Steve. Thor gripped his axe and Tony powered up his thrusters.

"Avengers!" Steve called out. Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, hurtling into his grasp. Steve spun it and raised it. "Assemble".

Everyone yelled out in unison, war cry echoing as they charged. Emil howled out scream promising pain as he began running. Thanks stared at the approaching forces impassively. He raised his massive double bladed weapon and pointed it at them. Behind him, the alone army screeched as they charged. Both groups colliding with a crash of blades, swords and dust.
