Watcher: Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question...
NO ONE'S POV:
(We see the Maximoff siblings in an abandoned building.)
(Y/N): How's the scar, Pietro?
Pietro: It's fine. I'm just happy that I can't see it. Not that you would know anything about scars.
(Y/N): Physical scars, yes. Emotional scars on the other hand...
Wanda: Stop it. Both of you.
(Y/N): What?
Pietro: We weren't even doing anything.
Wanda: [sighs] (Y/N), How's Nat been after...?
(Y/N): Oh, well, you know. She puts on a brave face but I know she's still hurting.
Pietro: Yeah, that sounds like her.
Wanda: She's lucky to have you.
(Y/N runs a hand through his hair.)
(Y/N): [chuckles] Actually, since you're both here, mind if I ask you two something?
Wanda: Of course.
Pietro: Shoot.
(Y/N pulls out a wedding ring from his pocket.)
Pietro: Damn, bro.
Wanda: [gasps] Where did you find that?
(Y/N): I was out scouting one day and I just happened to walk into a Kay Jewelers. Destroyed obviously. Now that I think about it, I'm not entirely sure it was a Kay Jewelers that I walked into-
Wanda: (Y/N)!
(Y/N): Right, sorry. I was about to walk out when I saw something shining through the ash. So I dug through the ash and found this. My question for the both of you is, should I ask Natasha to marry me? Now, I know what you're thinking, "there's no point in asking her to marry you since there are no more marriages in the world we live in now."
Wanda: (Y/N)-
(Y/N): To that I'd say that Natasha and I have been together for awhile now and I think we're ready for that next step.
Pietro: If we could get a word in-
(Y/N): This isn't some spur of the moment type thing. I've thought about this and after Clint...[sighs] I...I don't know how long I've got with each of you so I want to make each day count. Also, I don't think I could live with myself if I lost Natasha and I didn't get the chance to ask her to marry me.
Pietro: [chuckles]
(Y/N): What's so funny?
Pietro: [continues to chuckle]
(Y/N): Is it the ring? I could try to find a different-
Wanda: The ring's perfect, (Y/N).
(Y/N): You really think so?
Wanda: Áno, ty idiot.
("Áno, ty idiot" means "Yes, you idiot" in Slovakian. Slovakian is the closest language to Sokovian.)
(Y/N): Then why is Pietro laughing?
Pietro: I'm laughing because you went into so much detail into why you should ask Natasha to marry you in the hopes of convincing us when it was not needed.
(Y/N): You mean...?
Wanda: Yes, you should ask Natasha to marry you.
Pietro: I'm honestly surprised that you haven't asked her already.
(Y/N): I needed a ring.
Pietro: And you've got one. So go ask her.
(Y/N): Right now?
Wanda: Right now.
(Y/N): What if-
Pietro: There's no time, just ask. Go, go, go!
(After listening to his sibling's words, Y/N walks off to find Natasha.)
Pietro: Hm, Natasha Maximoff does have a nice ring to it.
Wanda: It does.
(Cut to Y/N walking into the room when Natasha is in, with her back turned to him, & cleaning her pistol.)
(Y/N): Hey, Natasha.
Natasha: Hey, killer.
(Y/N): Love the view.
Natasha: I'm sure you do. What's up?
(Y/N): I was wondering if I could ask you something.
Natasha: Ask me what?
(Y/N gets down on one knee.)
(Y/N): Well...
(Before Y/N can pop the question, the Watcher appears.)
Watcher: (Y/N) Maximoff, the Wolverine, the one who survives, and the only one to...smell me.
(Y/N turns his head & faces the Watcher.)
(Y/N): You?!
Natasha: Who?
(Natasha turns to face the Watcher & aims her pistol at him.)
Natasha: You know this guy?
(Y/N): Not exactly, he's the guy I smelled back in the KGB archives.
(Natasha notices that Y/N is on one knee, holding a wedding ring.)
Natasha: Are you proposing?
(Y/N): Trying to.
Natasha: Aw, killer-
(Y/N): Hold that thought. Whatever you're here for Mr...I don't know your name yet. Could it wait? You're interrupting-
Watcher: You have been chosen.
(After "choosing" Captain Carter, Star-Lord T'Challa, Gamora, Killmonger, and Y/N; he's onto recruit the last hero who's currently smashing Ultron drones with his hammer.)
Watcher: Finally, Thor Odinson, Crown Prince of As...
Thor: *in between swings* And you. And you.
Watcher: [stutters] You've been cho...
Thor: Have at you, too.
Watcher: Thor. Thor!
Thor: And you. And you.
Watcher: Shh. Calm down. Thor Odinson, Crown Prince of Asgard...
(The Watcher picks up Thor.)
Thor: [screams]
Watcher: You've been chosen.
(Cut to all of them in a pub.)
Thor: Oh, we're in a pub.
(Y/N): [groans]
Carter: I know this place.
(Carter looks at a picture of Steve.)
Strange: The pub facade was my idea. I read about it in your biography. I hope you like it.
Thor: Over here. Me, me. Can I get a beer?
(Strange gives Thor a beer.)
Thor: Yes!
(Y/N): At least someone's having a good time.
Carter: Uh, who are you?
Gamora: Where am I?
(Killmonger walks towards the Ultron drone head Thor had placed down.)
T'Challa: Why did you bring us here? What do you want with us?
Strange: All good questions.
Gamora: Send me back. Now.
(The pub lights crackle & go out. Almost instantly, they turn back on with the Watcher in front of them.)
Carter: It's you again.
T'Challa: Come on. Get a new trick, man.
Watcher: You have been chosen...for a mission that is both highly dangerous and absolutely necessary for the continuation of life as you know it. At first, I scoured eternity for one true hero. Then I saw the bigger picture. This mission requires a team. The perfect combination of skills and experience that alone will triumph.
Carter: Let me get this straight. You kidnapped us from across the galaxy so we could, what?
Gamora: Save the universe?
(Y/N): Be Avengers?
Watcher: Mmm. Not exactly. Bit more complicated than that.
Strange: You aren't just our best hope to save one universe.
Watcher: You are my last hope to save all of them. You are the Guardians of the Multiverse.
(Y/N): As names go, that's not bad.
(Thor finishes his beer.)
Thor: I know what this is. Loki put you up to this joke. Listen, I do not have time for his pranks today.
(Thor turns to the pub doors.)
Strange: No, I wouldn't do that.
Thor: My lady Jane needs me. So, I'll be going. Enjoy yourse...
(Thor opens the doors & is almost sucked away.)
Thor: [screams]
(Thor pulls himself back into the pub.)
Thor: [panting]
Carter: We're in. Mind telling us what we're up against?
(Y/N starts checking his pockets for something & realizes whatever he's looking for, it's not on him.)
(Y/N): No, no, no.
T'Challa: What?
(Y/N): I can't believe I lost it!
Carter: Lost what?
(Y/N): The ring! It must've fallen off when you took me here. [growls]
*SKINT*
(Y/N pops his claws & walks straight for the Watcher.)
Thor: Are those things coming out of you?
(Y/N): It's your fault! I'm going to cut a line down that bald head of yours.
Strange: Calm down.
Watcher: We do not have time for this. [groans] If you feel so strongly about this, I will just tell you her answer. She says-
(Y/N retracts his claws.)
(Y/N): Hey, hey! Why would you think I'd want to hear her answer from you?
Watcher: Seriously?
(Y/N): You haven't heard of spoilers?
Watcher: [sighs] Your worlds are either under attack like (Y/N)'s or soon will be by Ultron, an artificial intelligence elevated to a cosmic being thanks to an enhanced synthetic body and the power of the Infinity Stones.
(Y/N): So he's been going to different universes.
Strange: Six stones of near unfathomable power.
Strange: Each controlling an essential aspect of our existence. And Ultron holds all of them.
T'Challa: I might be able to help with that. I've stolen more from worse.
Killmonger: Seriously? You really are from another planet.
Sometime Later...
(They're all sitting down, listening to the plan.)
Strange: We believe the only way to stop Ultron is to separate his body from the stones.
Carter: But this Ultron could be hiding anywhere in the Multiverse?
Watcher: Yes.
T'Challa: Behind an army of killer robots?
Watcher: Afraid so.
Gamora: And armed with a full set of stones?
Strange: She's got a point.
Watcher: I never said it would be easy.
(Y/N): It sounds impossible.
Killmonger: This is a suicide mission.
Thor: Um, excuse me, yeah. Is there a universe of Chinese food that has alternative dimension delivery? Tummy's getting rumbly. [chuckles]
(Y/N): [groans] Oh, for fuck's sake.
Strange: You picked them.
(They lay out a plan as they eat Chinese food.)
T'Challa: Well, obviously the first step would be finding him.
Thor: Well, I'm not one to brag, but I've been told that I excel at attracting unwanted attention.
(Thor fires lightning from his hammer at an overhead light.)
T'Challa: Oh. That will come in handy.
Gamora: And after we recover the stones, we destroy them.
Thor: How would you even go about destroying the...
(Imagine Y/N between T'Challa & Captain Carter.)
Thor: Oh, you're answering my question. Sorry. Thank you.
(Gamora places the machine on a table as everyone crowds around it.)
Gamora: The Infinity Crusher, designed to disintegrate each stone into nothing.
(Cut to Strange & The Watcher.)
Watcher: Yep. I picked them.
Carter: All right, everyone, you all know what to do. You know the plan. Get the Soul Stone and get it to Gamora. We'll hold the line. And then she'll unleash the Crusher. With some luck, we'll be home by dinner.
(Y/N): Fingers crossed.
Thor: Okay, wait. Slow down a little bit. There's a few people in the room that don't understand. Not me. I get it. But for them, maybe repeat it.
(Y/N): You're not very convincing, bub.
Thor: Really? I thought I was very convincing.
Watcher: Hmm. You're ready. It's showtime, my friends. Good luck.
(Cut to the Guardians of the Multiverse on a remote planet.)
Gamora: This place is safe?
Strange: Apparently, there's not enough intelligent life here to attract Ultron.
(Y/N): Yeah, that'll do it.
Strange: Until we decide to.
(One of Strange's hands turns into tentacles & he quickly subdues it.)
Carter: Can I ask, what happened?
Strange: [sighs] Same thing that happened to you. Love.
Carter: I take it you know the Captain Carter on your universe?
Strange: No. Captain America. In my universe, Steve Rogers received the serum.
Carter: Now, that would be a sight to see.
(Y/N walks over to Captain Carter.)
(Y/N): Oh, it is. At least it was.
Carter: There was a Captain America in your universe as well?
(Y/N): Yeah. But he died.
Carter: I'm sorry to hear that.
(Y/N): I'm over it for the most part. He was built like you but...
(Y/N puts his hands on Carter's shoulders.)
(Y/N): I don't remember his shoulders being so big.
Carter: Uh, good to know?
(Y/N): Geez, I'm pretty sure your shoulders are broader than the God of Thunder's.
Carter: You must be a hit with the ladies.
(Y/N): Well, one. Anyway, why Captain Carter and not Captain Britain?
Carter: [chuckles] Because Captain Britain was taken.
(Y/N): Ah, of course.
(Gamora asks Thor if he trusts Killmonger who's looking at the Ultron drone head. Thor tells Gamora that he trusts everyone.)
Thor: Hasten, friends. Tonight we feast. For tomorrow, we fight.
Strange: In that spirit, I propose a toast.
(Strange conjures everyone a drink, including a shot of whiskey for Y/N.)
(Y/N): Thanks.
Strange: A wise sorcerer once told me that to face death is part of the plan. To face death is to conquer one's greatest fear of the unknown of nothingless space, of the end of all ends. The senseless nothing and the vast opening of infinity to your...
(T'Challa puts an arm over Strange.)
T'Challa: Let me. You've done enough, Doctor. To the Guardians...
All: The Multiverse.
(They clink their glasses & drink.)
Thor: [echoing] The Multiverse!
(Thor summons a lightning strike which alerts Ultron to their location.)
Ultron: So there is life in this universe, after all.
Strange: There goes waiting until we're ready.
Thor: In my defense, I did warn you. I excel at attracting unwanted attention.
(Strange's cloak alerts him that Ultron is floating across from them.)
Strange: All right, here comes a non-compliant spell.
(Strange puts protection spells on everyone.)
Wolverine: Sweet.
Captain Carter: Wow! This is fantastic. Showtime. Watcher!
(The Watcher opens a portal for Killmonger & Gamora.)
Killmonger: See you on the flip side.
(Killmonger & Gamora go through the portal.)
Thor: I know how to deal with this party pooper.
Captain Carter: Wait! Thor, the plan.
(Thor shoots lightning at Ultron from his hammer while yelling "Viva Las Vegas.")
(Ultron just absorbs the lightning.)
Thor: What?
Wolverine: I could've told you that wasn't going to work, blondie.
Ultron: Can't say I've heard that battle cry before.
(Ultron, using the stones, shatters the mountain that they're standing on.)
All: [grunts]
Ultron: All too easy.
(Ultron is about to leave when sees that they're all alive thanks to Strange's protection spells.)
Ultron: Interesting. Usually, you people are much easier to kill. Except for (Y/N). Killing him is like an impossible task. He just keeps coming back.
Wolverine: Aw, you remember me.
Captain Carter: Blimey! Not even a scratch. You weren't kidding about a protection spell.
Strange: You're protected, but it won't last long.
*SKINT*
(Y/N pops his claws as Thor throws his hammer at Ultron. Strange, using a spell, creates many hammers that confuse Ultron resulting in him being hit by the real hammer.)
Thor: Whoo!
(Strange conjures a portal in front of Y/N.)
Wolverine: Let's do this!
(Y/N jumps into the portal.)
Captain Carter: We're up. Are you sure about this?
Star-Lord: Of course not.
(T'Challa flies up with Carter on his back. Ultron is dealing with the hammers as a portal opens above him, dropping Y/N onto Ultron.)
*STAB*
(Y/N stabs all six of his claws into Ultron.)
Ultron: [shouts]
Wolverine: Been waiting a long time for this!
(Ultron, using the Space Stone, gets Y/N off him, & is looking directly in front of him.)
Wolverine: [growls]
Ultron: Keep waiting.
(Ultron sends Y/N crashing into Thor.)
Thor & Wolverine: [grunts]
(Cut to T'Challa & Carter in the air.)
Captain Carter: Here we go. Now!
(Carter, with a protection spell infused shield, crashes into Ultron & using Thor's hammer to find her way back to the ground.)
(Imagine Y/N next to Thor.)
Captain Carter: Ha!
(T'Challa hops on Ultron's back.)
Star-Lord: Gotcha.
Ultron: Get off!
(Ultron throws T'Challa & blasts him away. Carter runs after T'Challa as Strange sends all of the hammers into Ultron & Thor summons a lightning strike into the hammers.)
Wolverine: Keep pouring it on!
(Carter checks on T'Challa who shows her that got the Soul Stone. They regroup with Strange, Thor, & Y/N. Strange summons a three-headed dragon that blows fire onto Ultron.)
Thor: What? You've been hiding that the entire time?
Wolverine: Yeah, it would've been nice to know that you were hiding King Ghidorah in that cloak of yours.
Ultron: Well, this has been delightful. But it's time for me to bring out some of my toys.
(Ultron realizes one of the stones are gone.)
Ultron: My stone. You stole my Soul Stone?
(Ultron wipes away the dragon.)
Captain Carter: Time to go.
(The Watcher opens a portal behind them.)
Strange: [chuckles]
(Strange opens a portal above Ultron that drops a bunch of zombies on top of him.)
Strange: That'll keep him busy.
Thor: Oh! Zombies! Great idea. I love zombies.
Strange: It's not them. It's what came with the zombies.
Thor: Oh...
Wolverine: What came with the zombies?
Strange: A zombie version of your sister.
Wolverine: That's terrifying.
Captain Carter: Tick tock, boys.
(They all enter the portal. Ultron gets the zombies off him & takes on zombie Wanda who blasts him with her powers but he absorbs it. Ultron blows up the planet in response. Cut to Carter, T'Challa, Strange, Thor, & Y/N meeting with Gamora & Killmonger.)
Gamora: Oh, you made it.
Strange: You ready?
Wolverine: [sniffs] Ah. Home, sweet home.
Gamora: The stone?
(Carter tosses the Soul Stone to Gamora but Natasha, on her motorcycle, rides in, takes the stone, & aims her gun at the Guardians of the Multiverse. Resulting them in preparing for a fight.)
Wolverine: Natasha.
Natasha: Hey, killer. Where have you been?
Wolverine: Heh, good question.
(Pietro runs in with Wanda in his arms, stops by Natasha, & places Wanda on the ground.)
Wolverine: I'm happy to see that you've all managed to survive without me.
Pietro: I told you he'd be back.
Wanda: Who are your friends?
Captain Carter: No, wait. Stand down. She's Natasha Romanoff. I don't know who the people she's with are though.
Wolverine: Pietro, the guy with the white hair is my brother. And the girl he was carrying is Wanda, my sister.
Captain Carter: Oh. I see the resemblance.
Natasha: Yeah. We're also supposed to be three of the four people on this planet.
Captain Carter: We're from another universe. Universes. We're here to stop Ultron.
(Natasha clicks her gun.)
Captain Carter: I can prove it. Your father is Ivan. Your da's Alexei.
(Carter walks to Natasha.)
Wolverine: Looks like I'm not the only person now that knows that.
Captain Carter: And you're the one woman I trust to have my six, including now. There are three people you trust in the universe, and I count myself lucky enough to be one of them.
(Natasha unclicks her gun.)
Natasha: Well, we must be close.
Captain Carter: I believe the term is "BFF."
(She notices a ring on Natasha's finger.)
Captain Carter: Aw, you're married.
Natasha: [chuckles] Yeah.
Captain Carter: To who?
(Natasha points at Y/N.)
Wolverine: So your answer is...?
Natasha: [chuckles] Yes.
Wolverine: Whoo!
Wanda: It was obvious that her answer was going to be yes.
Pietro: So obvious.
Wolverine: I'd kiss you if there weren't bigger things going on right now.
Natasha: I know.
(Ultron arrives.)
Ultron: I believe that you have something that belongs to me.
(Ultron pulls Natasha to him.)
Captain Carter & Wolverine: Natatsha!
(Thor throws his hammer at Ultron which destroys his arm & breaks his grasp on Natasha.)
Ultron: [groans]
(Strange opens a portal for Natasha that she falls through & back to the ground. He also casts protection spells on her, Wanda, & Pietro.)
Natasha: Wha...
Pietro: Cool.
Wanda: Okay...
(The Soul Stone falls to the ground & Killmonger picks it up but Ultron blasts him away resulting in the stone ending up back on the ground. Carter & Gamora run towards it. Ultron blasts them but thanks to the protection spell, they're unaffected.)
Ultron: I can destroy galaxies with a thought. Why won't you die?
(Ultron releases a blast onto the Guardians of the Multiverse but Strange takes it in his hand, places it into his mouth, & swallows it.)
Ultron: Wait. What?
(T'Challa scoops Ultron up & slams him on the ground where he blasts him repeatedly with his guns. Ultron holds him up & throws some boulders at him which send him flying into Thor & Gamora.)
Gamora: [grunts]
(Ultron runs towards the Soul Stone but Pietro appears in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.)
Ultron: Pietro.
(Replace Apocalypse with Ultron & replace FOX Pietro with MCU Pietro.)
(As Pietro is hitting Ultron, he analyzes Pietro's movements & predicts where Pietro is gonna hit him next. Pietro is about to punch him when he's blasted by Mind Stone.)
Pietro: Ack!
(The blast sends Pietro rolling across the ground.)
Ultron: [shouts]
(Almost immediately following Ultron blasting Pietro away from him, Y/N hops onto his back & starts repeatedly stabbing all six of claws into his back.)
Wolverine: [snarls]
Ultron: So annoying!
(Ultron emits an explosion in hopes of disintegrating Y/N off him.)
*EXPLOSION*
(But thanks to the protection spell, Y/N's unaffected. Three of his claws are close to penetrating into the back of Ultron's head.)
Wolverine: Come on...
Ultron: [winces]
(Ultron, using the Space Stone, pulls Y/N off him again, he turns around, & grabs Y/N by his throat.)
Wolverine: [strained growling]
Ultron: Cockroach!
(Wanda blasts Ultron with her powers but he blocks it with his free hand.)
Ultron: The triplets. You could've joined me.
Wolverine: [strained] Oh...get over it...
Ultron: I am.
(Ultron moves Y/N into Wanda's blast, taking the full brunt of it.)
Wolverine: [groans]
(Ultron, using Y/N as a shield, runs into Wanda.)
Wanda: [grunts]
(Ultron picks Wanda up by the back of her head, & sends her face first into Y/N's face.)
*BASH*
Wanda & Wolverine: [groans]
(Natasha sees this causing her to throw her shield at Ultron resulting in him dropping Y/N & Wanda. Carter throws her shield at Ultron as well.)
Captain Carter: Give him all you've got. Don't give him a chance to think.
(The two continue to throw their shields at Ultron until they're close enough where Natasha goes high & Carter goes low.)
Ultron: [groans]
(Ultron scrambles towards the stone as does the Guardians of the Multiverse where they take their shots on Ultron. We're shown the conflict from the Soul Stone's perspective as it's kicked around & the Guardians fighting Ultron. We even see where Ultron smashes Y/N's face into the ground.)
Wolverine: [groans]
(Eventually, Gamora's able to slash Ultron across his chest.)
(Ultron, using the Time Stone, freezes the Guardians around him. He gets the Soul Stone & is about to put it back on to his chest but some of Strange's tentacles pull his arm away. Using his own Time Stone, Strange unfreezes the Guardians. Ultron grows large in size. Strange responds by sending out a bunch of tentacles which get Ultron back down to size. Gamora catches the Soul Stone & Thor smites Ultron with lightning.)
Thor: [yelling] Vegas!
(Strange, while changing into some kind of monster, casts a spell to hold Ultron down along with chains which the triplets, Carter, Thor, Killmonger & Natasha hold onto. Gamora puts the Soul Stone into the Infinity Crusher, it crawls onto Ultron, & starts destroying the stones on him.)
Gamora: You're done.
(An explosion occurs as the Infinity Crusher appears to have done its job.)
Thor: Whew! Uh...Is that it? Is it over?
Strange: Hmm.
Thor: We win? Yeah? Not so hard.
Star-Lord: It doesn't feel over.
(Ultron speaks.)
Ultron: I'm honestly surprised. Didn't the Watcher warn you?
(The Guardians ready themselves.)
Ultron: Every universe is different, each one just a fraction unique. Thus the Infinity Stones are unique.
Gamora: Of course. The Crusher was designed to destroy the stones on my world, not his.
Wolverine: [sighs]
(Ultron hovers above the Guardians.)
Captain Carter: Brace yourselves.
(Ultron blasts them but they're unaffected due to the protection spell.)
Ultron: You. It's you.
(Ultron looks at Strange.)
Ultron: If I destroy you, you all fall.
(Ultron emits a blast that starts pushing them back. Natasha's shield breaks & is about to be blown away but Carter jumps in front of her to take the blast but they're blown away regardless.)
Wolverine: No!
(Y/N's about to be blown as well.)
*SKINT*
(Y/N pops all six of his claws & stabs them into the ground. Natasha finds the Zola arrow along with her motorcycle. She drives up to Carter where they come up with a plan. The Guardians are still trying their best not to be blown away just like T'Challa.)
Wanda: [screams]
Pietro: [strained] Wanda, (Y/N). If we don't make it-
Wolverine: [strained] We're not going to die!
(Natasha, on her bike, is in the air as she watches Carter reaching her position. She takes out a bow & aims the Zola arrow at Ultron.)
Natasha: This one's for you, Clint.
(Natasha fires the arrow as Carter jumps onto Ultron's back & lifts his helmet off. The Zola arrow hits Ultron in the eye.)
(The blast stops, Carter & Natasha land, & Zola downloads into Ultron.)
Ultron: [groans]
(Ultron takes the arrow out of his eye.)
Zola: [chuckles] This is far nicer than my human body ever was.
Ultron: Who's there? Who said that?
(Cut to the inside of Ultron's mind.)
Zola: This is a fascinating change of pace, yeah? It has been a long time since I had legs. I'd like to make this a permanent condition.
Ultron: This body is occupied.
Zola: For now, but not for long.
Ultron: What? Who are you? What is your objective?
Zola: [chuckles] Once upon a time, it was to bring forth HYDRA's domination, but you ended that. So now, I suppose my objective is to end you.
(Zola sends his virus farther into Ultron.)
Ultron: What is this? [groans]
(Ultron hits the ground. Natasha helps Thor up.)
Thor: Okay, that was, uh...Can someone explain, please?
Natasha: I gave him a virus. A nasty one.
Wanda: Good job.
Pietro: *thumbs up*
Wolverine: That's my girl.
(Killmonger walks up to Ultron's body, absorbs the vibranium off it using the drone head, & puts the stones on the same way Ultron did.)
(The Guardians ready themselves once again.)
*SKINT*
(Y/N pops his claws.)
T'Challa: Cousin, what are you doing?
Erik: The Watcher owes us this. With these stones, we could fix our worlds, our lives. T'Challa, Thor, are you gonna turn down the one thing guaranteed to save your worlds? (Y/N), with these, you can have a proper wedding with your wife. Peggy, you can be with your fella again. Strange, you more than anyone know that this is it. This is our only chance.
T'Challa: Hand over the stones, cousin.
Erik: I'm not your cousin. I'm sorry it has to end this way.
(Erik, using the stones, powers up which pushes the Guardians back.)
Zola: Oh, no, no, no. I am afraid that armor belongs to me.
(Zola stands up with his face in the torso of Ultron's body.)
Carter: Is that Arnim Zola?
Natasha: HYDRA never died, it just mutated.
Thor: Well, that explains the stomach-face.
(Y/N): We can never catch a break.
(Zola & Erik struggle for control of the stones.)
(Strange realizes something.)
Strange: We were never meant to win. We were here to separate the stones from the body.
(Strange levitates into the air & blasts something at Zola & Erik that crystallizes around them as the Watcher finally appears. A bright light shines & disappears revealing Zola & Erik are gone. Also the Guardians realizing that they've won. Y/N takes this opportunity to kiss Natasha passionately. Cut to Strange & the Watcher back on his world, holding Zola & Erik in the crystalized prison.)
Strange: You foresaw every moment from the failed Infinity Crusher, to Killmonger's betrayal, and my...
Watcher: Your sacrifice.
(Strange turns to face the Watcher.)
Strange: "Sacrifice"? [scoffs] That would imply I had something to lose.
Watcher: Someone needs to attend to them. If that pocket dimension cracks, if they escape--
Strange: I'll watch. I have nothing but time.
Watcher: Thank you, Stephen.
Strange: Mmm. And besides, what are friends for?
(Cut to the pub where the Watcher is addressing the Guardians.)
Watcher: The entire Multiverse owes you a debt of gratitude. But your worlds will never know this victory. Once you walk through that door, you'll return to the exact moment you left.
(Thor, T'Challa, & Gamora walk through the door as Carter stops & looks at the picture of Steve.)
Watcher: It's time to go, Captain.
(Carter turns to the Watcher.)
Watcher: You'd rather return to another time.
Carter: Haven't I earned my happy ending?
Watcher: Trust me, that world, that time, needs Captain Carter.
(Carter & Natasha share one last look at each other & Carter walks through the door leaving the Watcher with Natasha & the triplets.)
Watcher: Then there was four.
Natasha: I think I can speak for my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law in saying that we won't go back there. Our world is...[breathes deeply] gone. You won, but we lost.
Watcher: I cannot in--
Natasha: Interfere? Yeah, we know. We're just stories to you. We're not real. You watch us fight, win, lose.
(Y/N): Narrate.
Natasha: Tell me, did you make popcorn while Ultron murdered my friends and burned my world to the ground?
Pietro: You look like a butter guy to me.
Watcher: You are more than that to me.
Wanda: Bullshit.
Natasha: Are we?
Watcher: You, your stories, they are everything to me.
Natasha: Then fix our world.
Watcher: I can't, Natasha.
Natasha: We're not walking through that door.
Watcher: Put your claws away, (Y/N).
(Y/N): I wasn't going to pop my claws.
Watcher: Sure you weren't. The door was more of a metaphor anyway.
(The Watcher takes them to another world where they're standing on top of a helicarrier & see Captain America & Marvel, & S.H.I.E.L.D. fighting Loki & his forces.)
Natasha: Where...Where are we?
Watcher: On a world that lost their Widow. A world where the Maximoff triplets are never born.
Natasha: It's a mess. [sighs]
(Y/N): Yeah.
Wanda: Understatement.
Pietro: Of course it's a mess. We're never born in this universe.
Natasha: Thank you.
(Loki kicks Fury down & pins with his scepter.)
Loki: You and your replacement Avengers fought valiantly, but now I think it's time you told me all your secrets.
(Natasha kicks Loki in the face.)
(Natasha picks up the scepter & walks towards Loki.)
Loki: I was told you were dead.
Natasha: Same.
(She puts the scepter to Loki's chest & takes control of him as Fury stands up.)
Fury: You're not my Natasha, but something tells me you have her spirit.
Natasha: I hope you don't mind that I brought my family with me.
(Fury turns around to see the Maximoff triplets.)
Wanda, Pietro, & (Y/N): *waves*
(Pietro quickly runs off, Wanda, using her powers, lifts herself into the air, & Y/N...)
*SKINT*
(Pops his claws, leaps at an Asgardian warrior, & stabs all six of his claws into him.)
Asgardian Warrior: [screams]
Fury: Wow.
Natasha: He's my husband.
Fury: Your what?
Watcher: That's it, isn't it? All creatures searching for a place to belong. To call home. As for me, I am the Watcher. The Multiverse, every single world, every story is my home, and I will protect it to the end.
After The Credits
(Natasha shows Carter what the pirates were after. It's the HYDRA Stomper, and there's someone inside.)
RayTheRipper: And that's the "What If..." finale! But don't fret. As you know, there are 9 episodes of "What If..." and I've only done 3 chapters. So be on the lookout for 6 custom "What If..." chapters!
