Monster: Godslayer (Male Reader)

Ready for War

You leaned against the wall as everyone took in the news. You had flown to Symkaria where the other Avengers were and the Avengers in Wakanda joining in by hologram.

Miles: Sam...

Y/N: I'm sorry.

Kamala: It's, not your fault.

Your hands were resting on the table as you stood before everyone. You had just told everyone about Sam and Moony. How you had lost them both in the matter of hours.

Riri: This is really war then.

Y/N: Yeah. Look, this isn't just us fucking around anymore. This is real. This is something we've never seen before. None of us have ever even seen Thanos yet he has already taken one life from us.

Everyone silently agreed. You set the Soul Stone onto the table and looked at everyone.

Y/N: Thanos is coming. He's coming now. We don't have time to waste anymore. The Stones need to stay separated. The Reality Stone in Symkaria, the Mind Stone in Wakanda, the Time Stone in New York, and now the Soul Stone that will stay with me at all times.

Gwen: How are we breaking this up?

You typed into the table's program and the image appeared on the screen behind you.

Y/N: New York is protected by the former Avengers and the Program. Symkaria will be with the Symkaria and New Avalon forces as well as the Avengers. Wakanda is protected by the Knights.

Quentin: A-And the S-Soul Stone?

You looked at the Stone before you. You finally sighed and picked it up again.

Y/N: That's up to me.

Everyone immediately looked at you as you slid the Stone into your pocket.

Miles: Like hell it is.

Nadia: You're not going to be the only thing between Thanos and that Stone.

Y/N: I have to be. It's already written in stone that we will have to face each other eventually.

Robbie: I've seen first hand what his minions can do without the Stones. If Thanos gets the other five, then you won't stand a chance. If we had more time and could plan more...

Y/N: We don't. We're out of time and we have no more room for planning. We need to hold off Thanos' forces and either kill Thanos before he can get all six, or find a way to destroy at least one Stone.

Katie: But it's suicide.

You slammed your fist on the table which made a few people jump.

Y/N: I know that damnit! This, all of this is war. If we're going to win, then I'm willing to put my life on the line. I won't lose anyone else if I can stop it.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment. The entire room was silent.

Kamala: Then, we can at least help. Keep the Strikers with you to help guard the Stone.

Y/N: Kamala....

Doreen: Like he has a say. He was the one who brought us all together in the first place.

Robbie: We're not abandoning him now.

Tyrone: We'll help you keep the Stone safe until we can destroy it or defeat Thanos.

Felicia nodded in agreement as well. Even Tandy smiled at the idea. You looked at your team for a moment before you looked over to Molly. She was still in full uniform like everyone else, but she didn't have her mask on. She was suffering more than anyone else here. Sam's death was sudden and unjust. You clenched your fists and nodded.
