The world around us was chaos. Fire, steel, blood-
The roar of an army colliding with another. We charged forward as one, the weight of everything we'd lost pushing us on. Every blast, every hit, every scream- I tore through it all, sending creatures flying with waves of energy.

"Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?" Clints voice crackled through the comms, strained and panicked.

"Get those stones as far away as possible!" Steve shouted, blocking a hit with his shield.

"No! We need to get them back where they came from." Bruce yelled.

"No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel." Tony cut in.

"Hold on! That wasn't our only time machine." Scotts voice came next.

Somewhere in the distance, I heard a faint blare of a car horn.

"Anyone see an ugly brown van out there?" Cap called.

"Yes! But you're not going to like where it's parked!" Someone yelled back.

"Scott, how long you need to get that thing working?" Tony asked.

"Uh, maybe ten minutes." He said

"We're on it, Cap." Came another woman's voice.

I turned, throwing another blast that sent a line of people flying, when I heard it-

"Elizabeth!"

My heart stopped. I spun around.

"Peter?" I whispered.

He was standing there, breathing hard, the same nervous look on his face. Tears burned in my eyes as I ran to him, crashing into his arms.

"Peter" I choked out, holding him like he'd disappear again.

He was trembling.
"Lizzie, i don't- I don't know what happened. One minute we were in titan, and the next, everyone was gone. You were gone" he ranted.

"I know" I whispered, trying to steady my voice.
"It's okay. You're here now" I said

"I missed you so much" I cried.

"I missed you too" he said.

The world didn't stop for us. It never did. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw T'Challa getting crushed by debris, still gripping the gauntlet.

"Go" I said, and Peter nodded, taking off as I followed.

The moment one of thanos side kicks slammed T'Challa down again, I was there- slamming into the alien with a burst of blue light.

"I'm getting real sick of you man" I muttered.

He sneered.
"Your powers-" he started.

"-are no match for yours, right? Yeah, yeah, I've heard it before. Let's put it to the test" I grinned.

We clashed hard, energy against brute force. His strikes barely grazed me before I wrapped him in a blue haze of light, lifting him into the air.
He fought, but it was useless. I threw him back with everything I had- he landed hard, impaled on a shattered blade.

I didn't even stop to watch him fall. The sky rained fire, the ground burned beneath us, and all I could think about was finding those stones.

I saw Peter go down, the gauntlet slipping from his hands. I dropped beside him, throwing up a force field ad explosions rained down.

The fire suddenly stopped. Silence.

"What the hell is this?" Sam yelled.

"Friday, what're they firing at?" Tony asked

"Something just entered the upper atmosphere."
She replied.

A bright streak cut through the clouds, tearing through the ship like a piece of paper.

"Danvers, we need an assist here." Cap said into comms.

Carlo landed on front of us, glowing like a damn supernova.

"Hi, I'm... Peter Parker." Peter said, still dazed.

She smirked.
"Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?" She said

He held up the gauntlet helplessly.
"I don't know how you're gonna get it through all that." He said

"Don't worry." A voice came behind us. Wanda.

I turned, and she smiled at me- really smiled.

"She's got help." Okoye said, stepping beside her.

"Let's go kick some ass" I said, power sparking at my fingertips.

We charged as one- carol, Wanda, Valkyrie, okoye, and every woman who's fought and lost and refused to stay down. Carol blasted forward, clearing a path through the battlefield.

She was almost there. Almost.

Then an explosion hit.

The shockwave sent us flying. I hit the ground hard, gasping as dust and smoke filled the air.

When I looked up, carol was down- and thanos was standing again, sliding the last stone into his gauntlet.

"No" I breathed.

I flew toward him, but he was faster. He raised his hand- ready to snap- until Tony grabbed him.

Thanos easily threw him aside, but it was enough. Just enough time.

I landed in front of him, blue energy exploding from my hands, locking around his arm.

"Ah...Elizabeth Pandora" he said, his tone almost calm.
"You reek of fear" he said

"Yeah, maybe I do" I said, power building.
"but you know what I say to fear?" I asked

The air cracked.
"Fuck off" I said

I hit him with everything i had. Blasts of light, raw power, pure rage. Every punch burned. Every strike made the world tremble.

He hit me hard, sent me crashing into the dirt. Pain shot through my chest, but I forced myself up.

Thanos straightened, tightening his gauntlet.
"You're weak. And I...." he raised his hand.

"...Am inevitable" he said

He snapped.

Nothing happened.

He looked down- the stones were gone.

He looked back up. And saw me.

The stones hovered above my hands, glowing, screaming.

"No" I said, breath trembling.
"I'm not weak" I said

The energy tore through me, every nerve on fire. But I didn't stop.

"I am..." I gasped, vision blurring.
"...Elizabeth Pandora" I said

And then I snapped.

The light exploded outward. The sound, the heat- it was everything. And then silence.

When the smoke cleared, thanos army was gone.

Thanos himself sank to the ground, defeated, then faded to dust.

I stumbled forward, barely standing. My skin burned, my lungs heaved.

Peter ran to me, eyes wide.
"Lizzie-Lizzie, we did it! You did it! We won" he said

I smiled weakly.
"We did it" I said

Wanda appeared beside me, her voice soft.
"I'm so proud of you, Liz" she said

I wanted to say more, but I couldn't. My body felt...empty.

I looked around. Then realized- Tony wasn't here.

"Where's... Tony?" I managed to whisper.

They ran off, and then they came back, Tony was barely conscious but breathing. Relief washed over me.

I sank back, everything in me finally giving out. One by one, everyone around me knelt- heroes, soldiers, kings, gods- all bowing in silence.

Peter grabbed my hand, his voice breaking.
"Please don't go" he said

I smiled through the tears.
"Thank you" I whispered to all of them.

And as the light faded, the last thing I saw was their faces- safe, alive, free.

Then everything went black.
