The world has changed,

Pepper awoke to an empty bed. One side warm, one side cold. 

She rubbed a hand over her ever growing belly, swinging her feet over the side of the bed and heading into the compound kitchen. 

Empty. 

You're broken down and tired,

Tony awoke in an unfamiliar ship. Cold, hungry. The air was thin. 

He sat up with a grunt, looking at the Ironman head in front of him. He touched it, fiddling with the electronics. 

Of living life on a merry go round,

Thor wandered in a little later, his face bare of the smile it once held so long ago. He ate some bread, it reminded him of home. 

He glanced at Pepper. He wasn't alone, but he felt so empty. 

None of us can go back,

Clint stared down at the body below him. 

Dead. 

Just like his family. 

He wiped the sword in the crook of his arm, knowing of the company behind him. 

And you can't find the fighter,
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out,

Natasha's eyes stared, not in fear, nor anger. 

They stared filled with tears as she reunited with the friend who had understood her for so long.

Who had always been there for her, no matter what. 

The friend she had believed to be dead, disintegrated, until she heard of the assassin by the name of Ronan. 

They laced hands. 

And move mountains,

Bruce stared at the holographic globe, rubbing his face. 

Missing... missing... missing... everywhere. 

If only he had been able to turn into the hulk again. If only he had been able to fight, to help. If only he had thought to reprogram the synapses to work collectively. 

If only. 

We gonna walk it out,
And move mountains,

Steve stared at his reflection in the mirror, where his chin was bare, the once long, brown beard gone. 

He had lost Bucky. He had lost Peggy. He had lost Wanda, Vision, T'Challa, Sam. 

Everything, 

Gone. 

All we can do it our best,

Pepper cried when she received the message from Tony. 

Tony, alive. 

But to be dead soon. 

And I'll rise up,

Tony cried when he hugged Pepper. 

So did Pepper. 

He was weak from lack of food and and water, but never had oxygen smelt so good. Never had he felt so alive. 

I'll rise like the day,

Thor stood from where he sat, eating bread and sipping a soft drink. He walked over to Carol, each step heavy. 

He stood in front of her and lifted his arm, summoning Stormbreaker. Carol didn't flinch. She smiled. 

"I like this one," he declared. 

I'll rise up,

Clint ran from the wave of flames that grew closer and closer down the tunnel. 

He had to survive. 

For his family. For him. 

I'll rise unafraid,

Natasha stood in the quinjet, fiddling with her gloves, glancing at Clint beside her. 

It was strange having him next to her, after becoming accustomed to the fact that he was dead. 

Disintegrated. 

I'll rise up,

Bruce knew they wouldn't win. 

They were short handed, as he said, and even with Carol they hadn't made it. 

But at least they survived. 

It was time for round two. 

And I'll do it a thousand times again,

Steve tugged on the straps of his shield, gritting his teeth as pain radiated through his body. 

He had to fight. They couldn't fail. Not again. 

And I'll rise up,

Nine white clad fists were in the middle. One furry, one blue. The rest human. 

Just human. 

And sometimes, the best we can do,

Nine white clad fists. 

Five avengers. Two alien life forms. One Rhodey. One Marvel. 

Is to start over. 

"Next destination- the quantum realm." 

Author's Note: Sorry this wasn't that good and kind of depressing, it was based off the Endgame trailers. Super excited for Endgame lol. If anyone has any ideas you'd like me to write pls tell me I'm running out of ideas. 

ALSO: If you liked the last chapter, I've turned it into a book so pls check it out it's called KitKat
