"Eyes up. Stay sharp, " Steve said, everyone breaking into a jog toward Thanos.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion like this was the end and needed to be savored.
Bruce led the way, getting crumpled up and pressed into a nearby mountain.
He was the first to die.
Steve didn't get far before Thanos brushed him aside with the Power Stone.
T'Challa was hoisted into the air and slammed into the ground with such force that he was the second to die.
Rhodey shot round after round but he was no match. The titan squeezed his suit so tight it suffocated him in seconds. He was the third to die.
Thanos went quick, taking out everyone she loved in a matter of breaths.
He killed Bucky.
He killed Okoye.
He killed Natasha.
He killed Groot.
Haven lifted into the air, twisting her body until tornadoes began to manifest. The funnels danced around Thanos' form, gnawing at his breaths and leaching away his attention.
A hand closed around her ankle and she was ripped from the sky. He slammed her body into the hard earth below.
Haven felt dizzy, an ache forming in all corners of her mind.
As she laid limp on the ground, she watched as Steve slid under a hit.
She watched Steve jab and punch.
She watched him hold off the titan with a strength she didn't know existed in anyone.
She watched Thanos drive his fist into the side of Steves's head.
She watched the love of her life topple over like a piece of discarded paper.
She watched his chest fall and felt the breath leave his lungs.
She watched as he died.
She watched as Thanos took every good thing in her life.
Haven gasped for air, seeming to suffocate under the weight of her own rage. Adrenaline pumped through her veins and she made it up.
She got to her feet, digging in her heels and opening her arms wide. She could feel herself screaming but heard nothing.
She tore trees from the ground and slammed them into him.
She created tornadoes and let them devour him.
She filled his lungs with rocks and dirt and leaves.
A thick drizzle of blood ran crimson from her nose down her lip. Her body was wailing in pain, every nerve telling her to stop.
But she couldn't.
She fought for Loki's memory and Frigga's legacy.
