"WE MAY BE THE FIRST TO FALL-
__________________
-From the battlefield blew thick purple smoke. Skylar set fire to the creatures. Just in battle, she learned how to control the movements of the fire coming from her palms. Make it grow, sway, push.
She heard a growl from behind. Crouching down, twisting around, jumping up and slammed the alien to the ground, burning it.
-Carly's eyes landed on a familiar face and her jaw dropped.
Ryan saw her too. "Carly! Hey! It's so good to see you!!" He exclaimed, nearing her. Carly studied him. "Ryan. Wow....you uh...You're taller. And stronger. And....with a crossbow? " Carly listed, smiling. "A lot has happened."
"So I've been told."
"Oh. Incoming." Ryan went back to defense mode, seeing four Outriders. Carly ignited her hands and Ryan raised his bow.
It only took a second for the two to kill the aliens. Carly panted turning back to look at her friend and give him a thumbs up.
"It suits you."
-This certainly wasn't the first time Clint was running for his life but this moment seemed even MORE stressing since he had the gauntlet with all six stones. The ONE thing Thanos wanted.
"Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?!"
From somewhere, Steve fought with an outrider. He held it back with his shield, summoned Mjolnir and hit it. "Get those stones as far away as possible!"
"No!" Bruce said. "We need to get them back where they came from."
"No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel."
"Thanos destroyed everything. Period." Tristan added.
"Alright! We need to regroup! Now!" Steve commanded, looking ahead at a deep trench where all the Avengers could meet.
{A/N: For this next scene, it was not in the movie but a deleted scene on Disney Plus. I liked it so I decided to add it :)}
Iron Man, Spiderman, and Surge were the first ones there, panting from all the fighting. Suddenly, an Outrider came at Peter. He barely had time to react as he covered himself. An arrow whistled by him, followed by the injured howl of the creature.
Peter whipped around and was met with his best friend, Ryan. Ryan grinned and lowered his crossbow, approaching the small teen. Peter laughed, putting a hand to his chest. "Dude!"
"Pete! Thank god!" They embraced quickly before letting go and patting each other in the back. "It worked!"
Peters smile fell for a second, pulling a face of confusion as he took in his friends figure and attire. "Wait a minute. Did you-Were you part of all this?" He asked. Ryan nodded. "Yeah! I'm kinda an Avenger now!"
Peter gave him a smile. "Yeah. I know the feeling. Mr. Stark named me an Avenger before....the thing that happened."
"Congrats!"
"You boys done talking?" From behind Ryan emerged Skylar. Her long brown hair was all over the place and her face smudged. The three laughed, remembering the old days. Peter turned back to Tony and saw Pepper Potts was with him.
"Whats up Mrs. Potts." Peter greeted, extending his hand. Pepper nodded and smiled, knowing exactly who Peter was since Tony had said so much about him. "Hi." They were cut short as an explosion went off pretty near, spraying the group with dirt.
Peter Quill came sliding into the trench next. He pointed at Tony. "Stark!" Tony looked up and pointed back at the man. Star-Lords eyes landed on Carly next. He wanted to run at her but hesitated and put his attention to his comrades.
"Rocket!"
"Quill!"The raccoon yelled back. Quill tumbled to the ground. "Hey man! You alright?"
Mantis joined them next and crouched near them. Gamora and Nebula made their way as well. "Hey. Wanna see something crazy?"He pointed at Gamora. Mantis and Rocket turned. "I thought Gamora was dead!" Rocket exclaimed. "Yeah, she is. But this one isn't." Quill panted.
Mantis stared and gasped. "She...shes a zombie?" Quill frowned and shook his head.
A few seconds later, the Avengers were complete, gathered in a circle and using this time to plan and catch their breaths.
Clint was the last one since it has been harder for him. "Hand is safe." Tony clapped. "Alright! Good job."
"Let's get rid of this damn thing."
"Anybody seen the van?" Scott asked. "I don't think we're driving out of this one buddy." Peter muttered. "No, kid. It's whats in it."Clint clarified.
"Which is?" Carly said, crossing her arms across her chest. "The tunnel."
"Pyms original Quantum Tunnel." Bruce informed.
"That's right! We put the stones in the tunnel and we just dump it in the Quantum Realm. He'll never find them." Tony explained quickly.
"Perfect!" Tristan sighed.
"Easy peasy lemon squeezy." Bruce added.
"Great, but there's no way that piece of crap survived all this." Rocket grumbled. Scott smirked and pulled out the keys, pressing the button.
The Cucaracha Song echoed from around them. "It's a Ford."
Steve, Valkaryie, Black Panther, Okoye, Hope, and Scott run up the walls of the trench, staying low. "Anybody see the van?"
Bucky Barnes from the battlefield spotted the van. "I do! But you're not gonna like where it's parked!"
"You get the stones to that van, this ends right now." Steve told Hope and Scott. "Can you guys get that Quantum Tunnel working?"
"Can do, Cap." Hope answered. "Yeah. See? You call him Cap too." Scott teased. Wasp rolled her eyes and both of them shrunk.
The team agreed on counting on Hope and Scott to turn on the tunnel again while they all dispersed and cleared the field.
Clint, however, handed the gauntlet to Black Panther. "Thank you for getting it this far, Clint," T'Challa told him. His mask reformed. He was about to run when a hand landed on his shoulder. Looking over his shoulder, he didn't meet the eyes of a small teen, he was face to face with a now grown woman.
Skylar.
She smiled at him. "I'm right behind you."
-"We gotta keep going." Carly told Tony, Tristan and Peter. "Yeah," Tony answered. Doctor Strange approached them. As soon as Tony spotted the man, his eyes narrowed and his tone turned into annoyance. "Look who's back! Hey! I remember, five years ago, you ran 15 million futures, and one of them worked. Yeah? Why don't you tell me how?"
"If I tell you, it won't happen." Strange said calmly. Tony grew frustrated and gripped the Docs cape. "We don't have time for that! Which one wins!?" Quill and Carly rushed forward to pull them apart. "Hey, guys! Come on!" Carly wrapped her hands around Tony's arm and pulled him back, keeping him steady.
She then pulled him a little closer to talk to him. "Hey, Dad, I haven't seen Natasha anywhere. She around? I kind of didn't say hi to her properly five years ago." Tonys face then dropped, his heart stopping for just a moment.
That's right. She doesn't know, he thought. Tony remembered the days Carly prayed for the day to see her again. But now...
Carly noticed his silence and the change in his eyes, making her frown. "What's wrong?" Tony hated to lie to her, especially now. But he didn't want to distract her from their current goal. The goal Natasha had sacrificed her life for.
Tony decided to place a hand on top of Carlys and give her a small smile. "Nothing but we have to keep moving as you said." Tony separated from her.
-Black Panthers speed was helpful. Pushing off a rock he kicked out his legs, hitting an Outrider. He flipped skillfully over more of them and kept sprinting through the battlefield. The Chitauris blasts were unaffecting due to his suit. It collected more and more kinetic energy, giving him a chance to collide his fist with the ground and release all the power. It gave him a few seconds of peace to keep going.
Suddenly, Thanos's double-edged sword clashed against Black Panther, bringing him down and losing his grip on the gauntlet.
Before he could take another step, he was stopped by a red hue figure landing in front of him. Wanda Maximoff raised her narrowed scarlet eyes at the titan.
"You took everything from me." She seethed, her hands bright red. "I don't even know who you are." Thanos stepped forward, not knowing her capabilities.
Wanda stared with bored, angry eyes. "You will." She threatened. She raised herself, bringing two large chunks of debris along with her. Thanos charged, growling. The chunks flew at Thanos hard, bringing him off balance. Wanda crashed down again and threw her arms forward. With each swing came powerful hits of her red energy. Thanos used his blade as a shield against her raw power.
Black Panther took one last look before going back for the gauntlet. It was now being picked up by Ebony Maw. The Black Order member brought the glove high. T'Challa leaped to reach for it but got stuck by Maws powers. Black Panther struggled against the hold.
Maw brought his hands together slowly to crush the man. "I got it!" Spiderman yelled, webbing the gauntlet and pulling it to himself. As soon as his feet met the ground, Outriders jumped to him. "Activate Instant Kill!" Peter told Karen. His eyes narrowed to red dots and his golden robotic arms sprouted from the back. They began to instantly stab.
Black Panther was suddenly dropped to the ground as the rocks around him parted. He turned to see Skylar, her hands held up. "Go! Protect it!" Black Panther sent her a quick nod before sprinting away.
Skylar was about to attack again but her feet were lifted off the ground, debris circling around her. She gasped and looked up, seeing Maw now doing the same to her. Skylar whimpered as the rocks stabbed into her flesh harshly, her arms pinned.
She didn't let it stop her. Clenching her jaw, she managed to bring her palms out from her sides. The woman pushed against the rocks. Her veins popped, her nose scrunched as she fought against Maws control. She was successful in separating the debris from herself. She let out a yell as she pushed harder to have them completely in her control.
Her arms now formed 180 degrees up, the large rubble floated by her command. Ebony was startled. "Impossible! Who are you?!"
Skylar puffed out a breath, grinning. "How silly of me. I didn't introduce myself." She wiggles her fingers. The debris was instantly coated in purple flames. Cocking her head to the side, she smirks in triumph at the alien. "I'm Skylar."
She yelled and thrust her hands forward. The rocks shot forward at the same time, bringing down Ebony Maw and burying him alive.
Skylar huffed, her body levitated in mid-air.
-The fight between Thanos and Scarlet Witch continued. Thanos brought down his blade but Wanda held it back with her powers. Thanos pushed against it but couldn't move any further. Wanda smirked as she easily brought back the blade towards Thanos, her body straightening, her glow intensifying. Thanos's eyes widened. Bringing one hand back, she swung again and the sword flew out of the Titans hold. He turned to see his weapon cracked.
Wanda curled her fingers and wrapped her energy around Thanos to bring him into the air. Thanos yelled at the pain she was causing. He tried to fight against it but was unsuccessful. Scarlet Witch flicked her wrist and the armor on him ripped off.
Thanos grumbled.
"Rain fire!"
"But Sire, our troops!" Corvus shouted.
"Just do it!"
The Sanctum floating from above the field revealed its guns and began to fire at the ground.
Wanda lost her focus as blasts came towards her. She barely managed to bring up her hands before she was blown back, a yelp escaping her lips.
The Sorcerers on the ground whirled their hands and pushed up, casting large golden shields above them.
Pepper Potts flew in the edge of the battlefield and came to a stop when she saw one of the missiles had broken the barrier between the field and Hudson River. The river was going to wash in.
"Uh, is anyone else seeing this?"
Doctor Strange had. He was closest to the opening. Stepping forward, he cast golden rings around his wrists and raised his hands. An orange hue blew from his hand and pushed back the humongous wave. The water circled up.
-Peter Parker was also having trouble on his side. The gauntlet was like a magnet, it attracted enemies like crazy. A mass amount of Outriders and Chitauri were getting the upper hand. He wasn't fast enough to keep them all back at once. "I got this. I got this! Okay, I don't got this. Help! Somebody, help!"
Through the connected ear coms, Steve Rogers heard Spidermans cry for help. His head snapped to where Spiderman was. "Hey, Queens. Heads up." Steve launched Mjolnir, and as it soared above him, Peter shoots a web and glides along. But, as he flew above the battlefield, a shot cut his webbing, making him plummet to the ground. He was then saved by Pepper, grabbing his hand.
"Hang on. I got you, kid. " She dropped him on Valkyrie's Pegasus.
Valkyrie gave him a brief nod as he landed. "Hey! Nice to meet you- Oh, my God!!" His introduction was cut short as the Pegasus picked up speed, twisting and turning to avoid the cannons. But it was too much. A cannon hit the animal from behind, bringing everyone down.
Peter yelled as he fell to the ground again. No matter what, he was still gripping the gauntlet tightly. He rolled and stumbled, trying his best to dodge the blue shots.
Someone then gripped his arm. His head turned to see Carlys mask. "You alright? We gotta keep moving!" She pulled on his arm and they ran. A cannon burst in between them, separating them.
It threw the teens harshly, making the landing painful, the burn of the cannon still there. "Carly!" Peter wanted to do SOMETHING but he couldn't. He was frustrated and he was tired.
The weapons being fired upon everyone was stopping them from advancing and at the same time bringing them down. Peter couldn't move anymore and rolled himself into a ball, tucking his head into his chest and yelled as blue rained around him. His golden legs had come apart and dirt was stirring all around him, stinging his eyes.
Suddenly, for a moment, it stopped. The booming stopped and everything stayed quiet.
The ones on the ground quickly pulled themselves back up and turned to the sky. The cannons from the humongous ship were now facing up and fired at the clouds.
" What the hell is this?" Sam exclaimed.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., what are they firing at?" Tony narrowed his eyes.
"Something just entered the upper atmosphere."
Everyones eyes were trained to the dark sky and watched a single glowing orb rocket towards them. The light crashed into the ship, resulting in an explosion and the ship crash-landing in the lake.
The light faded slightly to reveal a woman.
Captain Marvel.
"Oh, yeah!" Rocket cheered.
"Danvers, we need an assist here." Steve panted.
-Scott rushed out of the van and opened the back of it, revealing the small quantum tunnel. He quickly worked in activating it again.
Carol Danvers came in fast and landed on the ground. Her eyes trailed down to see Peter Parker wedged into a crack. His face was dirty and bruised with blood trailing from his nose. With all the pain he was in, he still managed a dorky smile as he looked up at Carol, his breathing heavy.
"Hi. I'm... Peter Parker." He said, hugging the gauntlet to his chest.
Danvers grinned at the boy. "Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?"

Hi. Soo... sorry for the really long break I took. Like I mentioned in my ranting chapter, I lost the fire to write fanfiction but I think I'm getting it back. I really thought that because of this quaratine I would have lots of time to updates but NOOOOOOOO my teachers are assigning TONS of online work. And its not even my College classes. They are my core. The STAAR tests have been canceled here yet my English teacher keeps throwing us stuff about it. I mean, why did we have to spend 5 months on To Kill A Mockingbird.
I'm also preparing for my Human Geo AP test in May.
Anyway, thank you for reading this book. Luv yall.
ALSO, my OCS such as Ryan and Carly can all be explained in another fanfic of mine already published. Its called Nothing Can Be Right. Here you can read about Carlys backstory and how they met Peter.
My other OC, Skylar is not introduced in Carlys book, however. She was separated as a child from Carly by HYDRA. There is already a book published for Skylars backstory called Warrior. That one is currently on HOLD but has some chapters uploaded.
My last OC, Tristan Stark, she also has her own book with a few chapters up. That one I am still trying to work on. It is called Heroes.
