A/N: this chapter contains a huge spoiler of Endgame. If you haven't seen it, then I suppose you stay away from this book until you watched it. There is a scene here, that was seen in the movie, so if you don't want to get spoiled, leave immediately. For those who have watched it, I hope you won't hate me.

"You should have gone for the head!", Thanos said, holding up his gauntlet.

Snap

"No!", Thor screamed, but it was too late.

"What's happening?"

"Guys!"

People were running. Running for their life's. People were turning to dust While others remain alive. A yellow school bus got out of control when the bus driver disappeared. Only a pile of dust was on the seat, he sat before.

"What the hell?", a 16 year old boy asked, not trusting his own eyes.

Just an hour ago, people looked out of their cars to a flying spaceship that flew over the city. Also the students of Midtown Tech watched. The round spaceship was massive. Its shape slightly resemble that of a donut, but was actually the shape of the letter Q. Many People have filmed it with the phones, others were scared and tried to get away as soon as possible. But when it disappeared into space with their beloved heroes, people panicked and wondered what would happen next?

It was ironic that they got their answer to their question just an hour later, as people dissolved into dust, leaving nothing but a pile of dust on the spot they were just seconds ago. Cars crashed into each other, not having any drivers in their. Kids having no parents, though they were holding their hands seconds ago. Mothers losing their child in front of their eyes and twins getting separated. It was plain torture for them. Everyone lost some loved ones.

"Ehem, guys.", the adolescents and their teacher, Mr. Harrington, watched as another student, Ned Leeds, turned to dust in front of their eyes, horror filling his eyes.

"Ahhh!", Betty screamed, eyes swollen with tears.

"Okay, Let's not panic, they will come back.", MJ tried to calm them down, but mostly herself.

"What no, we can't stay here. Let me out!", Flash, another student and team member said. Followed by agreement.

"Wait, Where's Peter?", Cindy Moon, a black haired girl, asked.

"Shit, he probably turned to whatever Ned turned into.", Abe said, a look of panic in his eyes.

The students tried to call their parents, or any living relative, to cheek if they're still alive.

"Mom, Hey, thanks god you're ok...", Flash turned to dust. Not even hearing his mother's voice.

"Okay, i have enough of this, Let's get out of here.", and with that the students startet to climb out of the yellow bus, noticing that other citizens did the same thing with their cars.

"MJ, get out of here."

She ran towards the group, phone in her hand. While they ran away from there, she tapped on the abbreviated dialing and hold it near her ear. Please, please pick it up! Please! , MJ pleaded, her view getting blurred from all the tears and dust of people vanishing as she passed them. The screams of them were terrifying.

"Michelle, is that you?", her mother's voice said.

"M-Mom, Yeah. It- it's me. Thanks god your okay. Where's dad and Michael?", Michelle's voice broke down, she hoped that nothing happened to them or she wouldn't know what to do.

On the corner of her eyes, she saw how Mr. Harrington, their teachers, dissolved into dust, as he tried to help a young boy up. A sob escaping Michelle's mouth.

"We're all home, safe and sound. MJ, where are you?"

"On my w-"

All Cassandra could hear was the screams of people, and the crash of a phone on the ground. A loud sob escaped her mouth. She didn't want it to be true, but on the very same spot her daughter was running, laid her phone in a pile of dust.

"MJ! Michelle! Michelle!", the screams of Michelle's mother was heard.

But no one was there to answer, Michelle Jones died, but her family lived.

No one knew what happened, only that something terrible must have happened. Half of the universe died, but the other one was alive and living with grief. Some would say the universe was "perfectly balanced as all things should be", but the price for it was to high for anyone to do so. Thanos did exactly what he said he was going to do. He wiped out fifty percent of all living creatures with just one snap.

"Is this thing on? Hey miss Potts, if you find this recording, don't post it on social media, it's gonna be a real tearjerker! I don't know if you're ever gonna see these. I don't even know if you're still... oh god, I hope so.

"Today's day 21? No, uh, 22. You know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of steering into the literal void of space, I'd say I'm feeling a little better today.

"The infection's run its course thanks to the blue meanie back there. Oh, you would love her. Very practical. Only a tiny bit sadistic. So, the fuel cells were cracked during the battle and we figured out a way to reserve the iron charge, bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight time.

"Uh, but now it's dead in the water. 1000 light years from the nearest 7-11. Oxygen will run out tomorrow morning... and that will be it.

"And Pepp, I... I know I said no more surprises, but I gotta say, 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, actually, if you grovel for a couple weeks... and then move on with enormous guilt.", the holographic message of Tony Stark said.

Pepper watched her loved one slowly dying, and sobs escaped her mouth. A hand covering her mouth, as hot tears streamed down her cheeks, leaving her eyes puffy red.

"We need... to... get him... out of there.", she said, hugging one of Tony's Ironman helmets.

"We will. The question is how.", Steve Rogers said, a hand on her shoulder. "I promise."

"I'll do it, you could have told me way earlier, that... this hero of yours was in space the whole time.", a blond woman said in a colorful suit with a golden star said.

"And how might I ask?", James Rhodes, Tony's best friend, asked, not trusting her.

"By flying. I am fast. Faster than you have ever seen.", with that Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, left the compound and flew up higher and higher.

The message of Tony continued:

"I should probably lie down for a minute, rest my eyes. Please know, when I drift off and be like everything lately, I'm fine. I'm totally fine. I dream about you. Because it's always you.", with that the message stopped, and Pepper was now a crying mess.

"He'll be back, I promise.", Natasha said, and hugged the crying woman.
