As both armies clashed, Emil was the first to attack. He teleported into the middle of Thanos' forces. He appeared within their ranks, surrounded from all sides. As the aliens noticed his presence, they began to screech. Emil smiled at them as he pulled up his mask, covering the lower half of his face. Weapons lowered to point at him as the aliens attacked. Emil flexed his fingers and threw out his arms.

Energy burst from him like a bomb. A blue wave expanded out around him, crackling and burning. It knocked everything within a fifty feet back, sending the aliens flying through the air charred and flailing. Emil cracked his knuckles and spun his blade. A wide circle etched into the earth around him, dead aliens littering the perimeter. It felt good to be rid of some of that excess energy. His body was no longer trembling.

Steve's voice crackled through on the comm. "Good one Emil. Keep it up".

Emil grinned. "My pleasure Uncle Steve". He looked around. The two armies had collided with a truly spectacular force. Anyone who could fly was in the sky. Tony and Pepper were back to back, shooting blasts and covering each other's blind spots. Quil and Sam were shooting at ships, bringing them crashing down. Other Wakandan planes were engaged in a dog fight, supported by Valkyrie on her Pegasus. On the ground, combat was being held. Thor and Steve were swapping between axe and hammer. Rocket was on Groot's shoulders, guns blazing.

Emil heard the sound of a machine gun and teleported over. "Dad! Bucky!" He called. Bucky looked up and lowered his weapon as Emil appeared with a flash. He pulled him into a hug, crushing Emil against his chest. The relief Emil felt and the warmth of the embrace made him sag, boneless into the hold.

"Emil!" Bucky grinned. He pulled back and took a look at his son's face. He ran a hand through his short hair, fingers smudging the dirt on his cheeks. He took in Emil's appearance, eye lingering on the blue lighting scar over his exposed right arm. "What happened to your hair? And your arm?"

Emil laughed, suppressing a choked sob. "It's a long story. I missed you". Bucky pulled Emil back into another tight hug. This one was brief before they let go.

"Well tell me all about it when this is all over", he said. Bucky raised his gun as looked at the surrounding aliens, a winter soldier smile on his lips. "We have some work to do". Emil nodded, grinning wildly under his mask. Together they turned back to the fight.

Emil fought with a vengeance. He flirted around the battle field. Appearing with a blue flash and a deadly swing of his blade. Monsters dropped with sprays of blood and pathetic squeals. Then he was gone again. Landing on top of a ship in the sky, or halfway across the battle to blow up another group. He danced around laser blasts and bullets. Dodging around numerous friends and allies. He saved T'Challa from a attack from behind. The king turning to give a grateful nod. Emil winked at him before vanishing.

The next person he saw was Shuri. The princess was dressed in her war outfit. Face dotted with white war paint and special blasters on her hands. Emil landed on the shoulders of a particularly large alien next to her. The purple skinned creature roared as Emil shot a bullet of blue energy through its skull. It collapsed with a thud. Shuri waited for Emil to stand up before throwing herself at him in a hug. Her impact made him stumbled as her arms encircled his waist.

"Shuri", Emil breathed and he rested his hands on her shoulders. "It's good to see you princess. You have no ideas what's been going on".

Shuri let go and stepped back. She glared at Emil. "Seriously! Five years! If I was here you could have done it in three! And what the hell have you been doing? I disappeared and you get a back haircut, tattoos and ruin my suit!" She punched him in the arm. The metal of her blaster enforcing the impact.

Emil yelped and rubbed the spot with a pout. "Come on Shuri. Everyone was gone. You can't blame me for having a mental breakdown".

Shuri gave him a look. "I'll chew you out later", she sighed, shooting a alien to her right. The body crumpled. "Go before I decide to make you sorry for ruining my suit".

Emil beamed under his mask. "It's good to have you back".

"You too blue boy". Emil vanished.

Emil reappeared onto of a pile of rubble just in time to watch as Wanda zeroed in on Thanos. Her red energy powerful and she was angry. "You took everything from me", she snarled. Eye glowing scarlet.

Thanos didn't look impressed. "I don't even know who you are". He lifted his huge double bladed weapon and charged. Piles of rubble came flying towards him, knocking him back. Before the titian could recover, Wanda was there. She sent bursts of red energy at various pressure points, the force knocking Thanos into the dirt.

Emil jumped down from his tower and stalked towards them. "Can I join?" He called as he sheathed his knife. Both hands curling into fists as his skin glowed. Wanda looked up at him and smiled.

"Be my guest". Emil grinned evilly as they both faced Thanos. Red and blue light shining with promise. Both avengers given powers by the stones. Both avengers upholding their name.

Thanos struggled to his feet under an onslaught of blue and red energy. Wanda and Emil hurling bolt after bolt of energy. Thanos grasped his blades and used it to shield himself, deflecting the bursts. Emil and Wanda were no backing down.

Wanda jumped forwards whilst Emil teleported behind Thanos. Both attacking from different sides. Thanos roared and brought his blade down on Wanda. She grunted, energy halting the swing just above her head. It hovered there, Thanos putting all his weight on it. He grinned as she groaned, certain that she could not withstand the pressure. Emil was not having it. He hurled a ball of blue energy and it hit the Titan in the middle of his back. The armour unfortunately taking the damage, but it was enough that it threw of Thanos' weight. Wanda smiled and brought her hand in a upward's motion. Red energy threw Thanos back. His blade was sent spinning from his grip. It landed quite a distance away, cracked and broken.

Wanda caught the Titan. Red energy enveloping his body and lifting him into the air. It restrained his limbs, making him useless. Emil watched with sadistic glee. He raised his hand and blue lightning coiled from his palm, striking Thanos in the back. The Titan groaned in pain as the blue bolts began ripping at his armour and burning his skin. He couldn't move as blue and red dance around him.

"Rain fire!" He ordered, voice wheezing from pain.

"But sire. Out troops!"

"Just do it!" Thanos yelled. His soldiers listened to him. High above the battle field. The ship hummed as all their cannons turned and pointed down. Huge plasma blasts began raining from the sky. Emil and Wanda both threw up their hands to protect themselves. A blast at her feet sent Wanda flying. Another hit Emil in the back, knocking him to the floor. It burned and his body fizzed as it absorbed the energy.

With a groan, he pushed himself to his feet. The canon blasts came pelting down around him. Huge explosions ringing in his eardrums. Thanos was no where to be seen. Emil's sight was blurry and his head spun. Distantly, he watched as a blast hit a group of wakandan soldiers who were locked in combat with aliens. Both the humans and the aliens were sent flying.

Another blast landed startlingly close to Emil's left. He rolled in the dirt as a crater appeared in the earth. He crawled onto his feet and turned his head up to the sky. Valkyrie was visible overhead. Her white Pegasus trying time avoid the canon blasts. A familiar blue and red figure, four spider legs protruding from the back of his suit, was clinging on to the back of the horse. Emil watched as a close blast knocked Peter and he fell.

Peter landed agilely, catching the gauntlet he was carrying, and running. Another blast knocked him off his feet and he rolled. The spider legs on the back of his suit destroyed. The gauntlet landed in the dirt beside him as blast continued to rain down. Peter curled up, hands over his head as explosions littered the battlefield.

A flash of blue made him look up. Emil threw his body over Peter's. Skin glowing a faint blue as he shielded him from the canons. "Hey", Emil greeted. His mask had called down and he grinned bloodily at Peter. Face a mess of dirt and dried blood. "You have no idea the hell I've been through".

Peter stared at his boyfriend in shock. Eyes wide as he took in all the changes. He began stuttering, mouth working as he talked. Voice high and wild with adrenaline. "Hey. I got all dusty. Then I woke up and you were gone. Dr strange said it had been five years. Has it really been five years? And now we're in a battle, and your hair! And your arm! Did you get a tattoo? That's a pretty hot tattoo. What happened? It's been five years, are you older than me now? What happened to you? Where are we? Me stark gave me a hug earlier, we do hugs now. Why is Thanos here? What's going on?"-

Emil laughed brokenly. He had missed Peter's ramblings. It was like an ache was finally gone. He loved this boy so so much. A blast too close for comfort made them both wince. He pressed his right hand on Peter's cheek, thumb rubbing the dirt under his eye. "I have missed you so much". A few stray tears dropped down his cheeks. Peter wiped them away impulsively and Emil nuzzled into the touch. "I am so glad you're back".

Emil surged down and kissed Peter on the lips. It was like their first kiss all over again. Messy, uncoordinated, tasting of blood and dirt. He felt Peter smile, hands carding through his hair. They pulled away and Peter gazed up at Emil, eyes dazed.

"Wow", he breathed.

Emil sighed contentedly and smiled back. "I have so much to tell you. But later". Another blast had them curling in on each other protectively. Both boys wrapping each other int their arms.

"Yeah. Definitely later, when we're not in danger of being blown up".
