Endgame (Steve, Bucky, Thor) Book 6

1.

Nobodies POV

Somewhere in space.

Nebula, Loki and Tony are on the ship playing paper football.

"Wrra!" Nebula yells

Nebula, frustrated, puts her hands in a fighting stance while looking at Tony. Loki was in the side, silent.

The whole trip he was nothing but silent, even Tony couldn't get a word out of him, he wouldn't even eat.

Tony wanted to play a game to get their minds off of everything, off the hurt and loss.

"You don't need to do that. Because uh... you're just holding position." Tony says

Nebula flicks a paper football towards Tony. "Oh yeah, that was close." Tony says

Nebula once again flicks a paper football towards Tony. "That's a goal. We're now one apiece." Tony says

"I would like to try again." Nebula says

Nebula flicks a paper football towards Tony.
"We tied up. Feel the tension? It's fun.'' Tony says

Tony poorly flicks a paper football towards Nebula.

"That was terrible. Now you have a chance to win." Tony says, Nebula flicks the paper football towards Tony.

"And... you've won. Congratulations." Tony says

Tony reaches his hand out to shake Nebula's hand. "Fair game. Good sport." Tony says, Nebula shakes Tony's hand. "Have fun?" Tony ask

"It was fun." Nebula says
....

Iron Man's busted helmet lays on the dirty floor. Tony Stark's hand reaches forward to turn on the helmet. We pan out to see that he's sitting on the floor of a gloomy Benatar. The weight of the recent events of Infinity war evident in Tony's posture.

He was alone.

He taps the helmet with a sigh.

"This thing on?" Tony ask

The helmet scans Tony. Tony leans against the wall while taking deep breaths. He looks weak and malnutrition.

"Hey, T'Challa... Morgan.... Loki. If you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's gonna be a real tear-jerker. I don't know if you're ever going to see these. I don't even know if you're... if you're still... Oh god, I hope so. Today is day 21, uh 22." Tony says

Tony knee he wasn't going to survive and Loki being practically immortal will make it.

Tony is standing at a window to stare out in space, waiting for his impending doom to arrive.

"You know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into a void of space, I'd say I'm feeling better today. The infection run its course, Thanks to the blue meanie back there." Tony says

Nebula is sitting in the back of the Benatar.

"You'd love her. Very practical. Only a tiny bit sadistic. Some fuel cells were cracked during battle, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge to buy ourselves about 48 hours of time." Tony says

A shot of Tony and Nebula working on the fuel cells of the Benatar. Loki silent in the back.

"But it's now dead in the water. We're 1000 light years from the nearest 7 -11. Oxygen will run out tomorrow. And that'll be it. And T'Challa, I ... I know I said no more surprises, but I was really hoping to pull off one last one. But it looks like... well you know what it looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I mean, if you grovel for a couple of weeks, and then move on with enormous guilt. I should probably lie down. Please know that... when I drift off, I will think about you. Because it's always you." Tony says
