DISCLAIMER: I don't own the MCU (if I did Tony Stark, Vision and Natasha Romanoff would never have died.) All rights go to the late Stan Lee. R.I.P.

------- ON TITAN------

"Did we just lose?" Quill asked. "very astute observation" Dr strange, replied dryly but everyone could hear the fear in his voice. Suddenly Mantis stumbled. She looked up with wide eyes as she faded away. "What's happening?" I whimpered. Quill looked around with horror as Nebula faded away. Mr Stark looked at his hands as he started to fade. No! Not him! "no!" peter shrieked. As Mr Stark faded, he said one thing, "it's okay". I sobbed "please...".

Quill muttered "The bastard actually did it." He breathed out. "He snapped away half of all life." Now the only ones left were me, Quill and Strange. I sank to the ground sobbing. Mr Stark was gone. I'd lost another father figure because I wasn't good enough. If I had just been faster in getting the gauntlet off maybe he would still be here. (Don't kill me please! Or you won't find out what happens next) Strange's strange (ha, did you see what I did. Not funny? ok. I'll go now) cloak wrapped itself around Peter, Quill asked "hey, weird magic dude? Can-can you get us out of here?" his voice was soft and heartbroken.

Strange nodded silently. He created a portal to earth and moved it so everyone was now in front of avenger's compound. It was completely silent. The building seemed completely uninhabited. "Wh-where is everyone else?" I asked shakily? "I don't know." Then a woman in a red leather jacket and black tights came out. I recognized her. Wasn't she the one with the glowy red magic? She was followed by a dejected looking... Raccoon? "Rocket!" Quill says with a sigh of relief. "groot?" he asks softly? The racoon, Rocket shakes head and Quill sighs and hunches his shoulders, hiding his face.

After coming back, we cleaned up. I called home but may didn't pick up. I was really getting worried what would I do if May died? Where would I go? JOCASTA, was incredibly upset after learning her boss had died. We weer discussing what to do next when suddenly JOCASTA started to speak. "may I give my input?" She asked. I nodded mutely "half the world population has faded. When Thanos snapped earth became ground zero for a power surge of epic proportions. Now I suggest bringing anyone related to the avengers here as HYDRA or other groups may use this to their advantage and try to capture them." "JOCASTA try and figure out who is still alive so we can get them"

"scanning..."

"All the avengers that are still alive are here. For family and close friends of the avengers, Morgan Stark is still alive." Shit. Both Mr. Stark and Mrs. Potts are dead. Who will take care of Morgan? "The Barton kids are still alive as well. Harley Keener is also still alive." I'd met Harley when he came down to visit Mr Stark during the summer holidays. I stayed at the tower for a month while May was attending a course and Mrs Potts was on a business trip. It was just the three of us sciencing for two weeks straight before Mrs Potts came home. "Cassandra Lang is also still alive. She is the daughter of Scott Lang otherwise known as Ant Man. He fought alongside the Captain in the accords fight." What about May? I was really starting to get anxious. "JOCASTA can you scan for my aunt?" I asked. "what is her name" Jocasta asked in a sympathetic voice. "may parker" "hmm... I'm sorry Peter. I can't find her." No. Not her too. I slumped down in my chair. I should probably be sobbing my eyes out but I was just numb. I had no one left.
