chapter 41

Y/N's POV

As I apparated there, there were Dad, Scott, Bruce and Steve, but then I noticed that Dad and Scott were without Tesseract "Well, what are we gonna do now?" Steve said "You know what? Give me a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with the Hulk." Said Dad "You said that we had one shot. This– this was our shot. We shot it. It's shot. Six stones or nothing. Six stones or nothing–" started Scott but I cut him off "I got it. There's another way. To retake the Tesseract and acquire new particles. We'll stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State." I said looking at Dad and Steve "When were they both there?" asked Steve "yeah, 0-4," I said "Uhh, 0-7." Said Dad "1-9-7-0." I finished "Do you trust me?" I asked "I do." Said Steve and Dad in unison. Then we went there, wow I was in the 70s "Clearly, you weren't actually born here, right?" asked Dad "Well, imagine you're SHIELD, running a quasi-fascistic intelligence organization. Where do you hide it?" I asked then we went into an elevator where there were a lady when it was mine and Dad's floor we said "Good luck on your mission, Captain." Then we were in a lab, we looked for the Tesseract and we found it, "Gotcha. Back in the game." I said grabbing it, but then someone called "Arnim, you in there? Arnim? Hey! Door's this way, pal." And when he came in my view I recognized him as Howard Stark, my grandpa. "Oh, yeah." Said Dad "I'm looking for Dr. Zola. Have you seen him?" Grandpa asked us "No, I haven't seen a soul, sir. Pardon me." I replied "Do I know you?" he asked me "No, sir. I'm a– a visitor from MIT." I said "Huh. MIT. Got a name?" he continued "Uh–Maria." I said "and I am Howard." Added Dad "Well, that'll be easy to remember." "Maria Potts." I continued, "Howard Potts." Said Dad "Well, I'm Howard Stark." Grandpa said holding out his hand "Hi." Me and Dad said shaking it. We went into the elevator, "So, flowers and sauerkraut. You got a big date tonight?" I asked "My wife's expecting. And, uh... Too much time in the office." Grandpa replied "Congratulations." Said Dad "Thanks. Hold this, will you?" he replied looking to me "Yeah, sure. How far along is she?" I said "I don't know– Uh– She's at the point where she can't stand the sound of my chewing. I guess I'll be eating dinner in the pantry again." "I have two girls." Replied Dad "A girl would be nice. Less of a chance she'd turn out exactly like me." Howard said "What'd be so awful about that?" I asked "Let's just say that the greater good has rarely outweighed my own self-interests." He replied "So, where are you at with names?" asked Dad to HIS dad "Well, if it's a boy, my wife likes Elmonzo." Grandpa said "Huh, Might wanna let that stew a while. You got time." I said but Grandpa turned to Dad and asked "Let me ask you a question. When your first kid was born...uhm...were you nervous?" and then started a conversation between the two "Wildly. Yeah." Said Dad "Did you feel qualified? Like you had any idea how to successfully operate that thing?" Grandpa asked "I literally pieced it together as I went along, I thought about what my Dad did, and..." Dad replied referring at Grandpa without him knowing "My old man, he never met a problem he couldn't solve with a belt." Replied Howard "I thought my dad was tough on me. And now, looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did drop the odd pearl." Said Dad, "Yeah? Like what?" asked Howard "No amount of money ever bought a second of time." Replied Dad "Let me tell you. That kid's not even here yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Good to meet you, Potts." Said Howard "Yeah, Howard– Everything's gonna be all right. Thank you– for everything– you've done for this country." Dad said and then we went away, but I was still near them when Howard asked to his driver "Jarvis, have we ever met those guys?" and Jarvis the driver replied "You meet a lot of people, sir." "Seemed very familiar. Weird beard." Howard said and then we went back.

All of us were now in the Avengers Compound, when I noticed that Nat wasn't there, "Clint, where's Nat?" I asked Clint that was down on his knees, "NOOOO!! NOT NATASHA." I yelled and then I fell on my knees and I felt an energy wave coming from inside to the outside and I simply let it go all my pain, my angriness and all my depression, I simply let it out. I opened my eyes and looked at the others, they were all on the ground, as we got all up, and I had calmed down Dad asked "Do we know if she had family?" "Yeah. Us." I replied and Thor confused asked "What?" "I just asked her a question–" said Dad, "Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that right?-" he started growling "So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it together." He continued, I went to him and tried to hug him but he went backwards avoiding my gaze, "We can't get her back." I said to him with the most calm tone I could get, "Wha– what?" asked Thor "It can't be undone. It can't." said Clint still crying "I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being. Okay? We're talking about space magic. And "can't" seems very definitive don't you think?" continued Thor in visibly denying "It can't– be undone. Or that's at least what the red floating guy had to say. Maybe you wanna go talk to him, okay? GO GRAB YOUR HAMMER, AND YOU GO FLY AND TALK TO HIM!" I replied yelling "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 said angry "Stop it! Just let me! Just let me do it. Just let me do something good. Something right." He said starting to cry, "Look– It's not just the fact that that glove is channelling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you, you're in no condition." I said looking at him "Lightning won't help you, pal. It's gotta be me." Said Bruce that until that moment remained in silence "You saw what those stones did to Thanos. It almost killed him. None of you could survive." He continued "How do we know you will?" I asked "We don't. But the radiation's mostly gamma. It's like...I was made for this." Replied Bruce and every one suited up, and we closed all the major doors, "just in case." Said Dad and when we were ready Bruce said "Everybody comes home." Then he put the gauntlet and then he snapped his fingers. Then he fell to the ground, we took the gauntlet away but then my phone started to ring I picked up, "Hi, Y/N!! where the fuck is my nephew?" it was the angry voice of May, IT WORKED!!! But I couldn't answer her because a missile hit the Compound, now I was under some detritus, I was clearly on shock but as I reached my wand I freed myself from them with a spell, "I can't breathe. I can't breathe! I can't breathe." Said the barely earing Rocket's voice in the earphone, "I'm coming, Rocket can you here me? You don't have to move!!" I yelled then tried to went to them. When I found them we got out and I went to Dad, Steve and Thor, "What happened?" asked Steve "You messed with time. It tends to mess back. You'll see." I said, we walked to Thor that was looking at Thanos "What's he been doing?" I asked Thor "Absolutely nothing." he replied "Where are the stones?" asked Steve "Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them. You want me to get them?" I said "No, keep it that way." Replied Dad, "You know it's a trap, right?" said Thor "Yeah. And I don't much care." I replied "Good. Just as long we are all in agreement. Let's kill him properly this time." Said Dad and then we went to Thanos, that as he saw us said "You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you've shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist." "Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn." I replied then I summoned all my power and started to levitate in the familiar green bubble. "you're dying today, you know that right?" I yelled to him while the battle started Steve, Thor and Dad were kicking him while I got him distracted, but then I got distracted from Clint running with the gauntlet in his hands "Okay, Thor. Hit me." I heard Dad saying to Thor that with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker made a lighting and Dad's suit absorbed all the energy, and Dad shot Thanos but then Thanos grabbed Dad's foot and used him as a shield against my spell, as I checked on Dad, I raised myself from the ground and began to fight with Thanos harder and harder. "In all my years of conquest...violence...slaughter...It was never personal. But I'll tell you now...what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet– I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much." Said Thanos looking at me and Steve that were the only people on our foot, and then all his army came on the field when in my earphone I heard "Hey, Cap, you read me?" it was Sam's voice!! "It's Y/N. Sam, it's me." I said but Sam continued to say "Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?" and then I turned and a orange-yellow portal appeared next to us and Sam said "On your left." And as we turned we saw the Wakandans coming out of one of them with Sam, then from another the Guardians and then all the others. "AVENGERS!" yelled Steve taking Mjolnir "–assemble." And then all of us yelled a battle cry and the battle began, from next to me I heard Thor saying to Steve "No, no, give me that. You have the little one." [best meme ever]. I was fighting against some of the Thanos' army when I heard a 'swish' from behind me I turned and saw a very familiar brown-eye boy looking at me "PETER!!" I yelled as I was finished with the bad guys, I ran to him and as we kissed an energy wave like the one I felt the day of the Blip came out of me.
