I've seen it happen a million times in my dreams.
Thanos, snapping his fingers and half of the population would disappear. Including my friends.
I tried to warn them. But they wouldn't listen.
But the strange thing is that I could never see past the moment when half of the population was gone. I would always wake up.
I push my self off the ground just in time to see Thanos snap his fingers and disappear. Then it was all quiet. Too quiet.
"Steve. . ." A voice breaks the silence.
No. No. It's beginning.
I turn around to see Bucky stumble and fall to the ground in ashes. Steve gets up and kneels where Bucky fell. I know that the other will start to disappear. And so will half of the population. I get up staggering a bit. My body sore from fighting off the outriders. I was on edge. They say that when you wake up from a nightmare or dream, it means that you've died. You always wake up because the brain doesn't know what death is like so it isn't able to show it. I could feel when a person disappeared, it was like a throbbing pain that grew larger with every person. Those who were left regrouped where Cap and I stand.
That's when I heard it. The cries of my brother. I could hear faintly in my head, him begging not to go. That he didn't was to go. I could hear his sobs. Then there was silence. The tears roll down my face.
Then I felt it. The numbing feeling spreading through my body.
"Guys. . ." Everyone looks to me. I look at my hand which starts to break away.
"Kid," Steve comes rushing over to me. I try to step towards him but my legs give out as they too start to disappear. I grip onto the back of Steve's uniform.
"I don't want to go, please, I don't want to leave. Please, please." I beg. the numbness now reaching my torso.
"It's okay kid. It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine." Steve tries to reassure me.
"I don't want to go. Please." I sob. The numbness spreads to my chest.
"I'm sorry," I whisper just as things go dark.
There was nothing to stop this from happening.
"Hey kid, you okay?"
I peel open my eyes. Things are still blurry. I see a man that resembles Jesus.
"Jesus?" I ask.
"Try again." My eyesight finally clear and Bucky is standing above me.
"Bucky?" I question.
"The one and only." He chuckles. He helps me. As soon as I'm on my feet I'm tackled back to the floor. Light brown hair is all I can see.
"Peter?" I ask. He nods his head. I quickly wrap my arms around him. We stay like that for a while.
"I thought I would never see you again." He says as he gets up and pulls me off the ground. I take time to look around. An orange-red color is all I see. Aside from people.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"I believe that we are currently inside the soul stone." A voice behind me states. I turn around.
"Then how do we get out?" I ask.
"I have no clue. Someone will have to get us out. Before we fade away." The man tells me.
"Well, looks like we're gonna be waiting a while."
