Avenge the Fallen • Endgame AU

*Based on "What If The Other Half Got Snapped?" by MissedThePart on YouTube*

It could have been anyone, anyone at all. But it had to be them. Sometimes they wondered if they would rather have been the ones who disappeared. Because after the snap, everyone changed.

An emotionally distant Peter Quill, a somewhat supportive Drax, a nervous Mantis, a dying Peter Parker and a powerless Stephen Strange are all stranded in space. They don't know how to get away from the middle of nowhere, let alone how to get back to Earth.

So when what's left of S.H.I.E.L.D manages to track down their co-ordinates and send an aircraft out to get them, they're grateful. But soon after stepping onto land, they realise they aren't the only ones feeling the way that they are. Every single member of the Original Six is gone, and it's only now that everyone realises they can't handle themselves without the Avengers.

It's up to everyone who's left to figure out what to do about this looming Thanos problem.

With the help of a Quill who wants revenge, the return of a long-forgotten enemy and the deep rabbit hole that is time travel, they more or less have everything they need to give this "being a hero" business a go. But are they willing to step up? And if they are, do they really have what it takes? Is the world ready to meet a team of heroes that seems a lot more like one of misfits?
