18. What Did It Cost?
Wanda's POV
Thanos began to walk slowly towards us, I looked at the stone in my hand and realised its now or never, I have to destroy it.
Steve: Eyes up, stay sharp.
Cap ordered, beginning to run. Hulk roared and charged at Thanos as quickly as he could, leaping at the titan before blue energy surrounded the Hulk, making him go through the titan and being sealed into a tree.
Hulk groaned as he was stuck, my heart began to shudder by seeing the Avengers lose. I throw the stone and begin to use what's left of my energy and use it on the stone.
I looked behind to see Steve, T'Challa and Killmonger taken down within seconds by different stones.
I turn behind to see all the Avengers on the floor, Natasha, Sam, Okoye, Bucky. I then see Y/N turn around, giving me a nod.
He was the only one left.
I begin to tear up and realise I have to speed up this thing, I begin to use both hands, seeing slight cracks on the stone.

I turn to see Thanos aim his gauntlet at me, I shut my eyes still allowing my magic to work it's effect at the stone.

Until I couldn't feel it but the sound of energy blasting was still there, I turn around again to see someone being burned.

Y/N continued walking towards Thanos, slowly. His body constantly regenerating as it endured the burns of the power stone, in an attempt to defend me.
For Jean, For Y/N, For everyone.
I thought, using my motives to push me further, and finally.
The stone was destroyed.

The impact blew the three of us away and onto the ground. We finally succeeded.
I grunt, slowly getting up to see Thanos not after me but after... Y/N. He grabs the man by the throat and taking him up and throwing him onto a tree trunk and impaling him.
Wanda: Y/N!
I screamed at the sudden action, crying as I struggled to get up. He shouted in pain, gurgling blood, I turned to see that the other Avengers were still recovering.
Wanda: Nooo.
Thanos: Eternity can be a curse. It hasn't been easy for you, living without time. The losses you have had to suffer. A man can run out of things to live for.... but you, you believe that a life without end can have meaning - it is the only life that can't.
Y/N: Go... fuck... yourself.
He managed to groan out. The titan lightly chuckled with malace, aiming his gauntlet at him. I stood up and ran at Thanos.
Wanda: NO!

I was immediately met with a blow from his metal glove sending me back to where I was immediately.
He walked towards me, I could hear the faint shouts of a helpless Y/N telling him to stop.
Thanos aims his gauntlet at me before he decides no to, he then uses some green energy to bring back the stone, I try to get up but I couldn't, I failed.

3rd Person POV
The stone immediately attaches to Thanos' gauntlet and he heavily breathes, harnessing the power of all six stones.

Before he could do anything else, the mad titan was met with a bolt of lightning, he aimed his gauntlet at it, blasting multi coloured energy but it was no use against the object incoming.

Thanos now found himself pushed back, with the axe head of Stormbreaker right in his chest. Thor dropped below infront of him, looking at the man who slayed half his people, his best friend and his brother.
The Asgardian grabbed onto Thanos' ear, pushing the axe even further into his chest.
Thor: I told you, you'd die for that.

Thanos screamed, adjusting to the pain he just experienced. He heavily breathed, moving his neck to look Thor right in the eye.
Thanos: You... you should... you should have...
He spoke weakly, putting a hand on Thor's chest. The Asgardian wanted to listen to the sociopath's last words before killing him for good.
Thanos: You should have gone for the head.
Thor: NO-

Thanos had snapped and everything had turned white for a second.
----------------------
The gauntlet sizzled, as Thor awaited in shock.
Thor: What'd you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Thanos looked around, before taking his gauntlet up to his face and using the space stone to teleport out of here.
The God of thunder was left angry and guilty, look down at his axe.
Meanwhile, Steve ran to where Y/N and Wanda were, he immediately saw the damage on his friend and came crouching down.
Y/N managed to get off the tree with the help of his love, but he was still in immense pain from the damage and was healing very slowly.
Steve: Y/N, Wanda! Are you guys okay?
He asked in concern, Wanda nodded sobbing lightly before pressing a kiss on Y/N's cheek.
Wanda: He'll be fine. Go check on the others.
Steve nodded and went to where Thor was, he was then interrupted by Bucky behind him.
Bucky: Steve...

Suddenly, the soldier dropped down, into a pile of dust confusing the blonde haired man.
Steve went over to examine the dust. The plan was working.
Thanos had won.
Gradually, so did the others.
T'Challa was dusted.
Sam was dusted.
Groot was dusted.
Y/N had finally healed, getting sitting back up as he sensed heartbeats beginning to dissappear, confusing him.
Wanda looked around, fear imminent on her face.

Wanda: Y-Y/N...
He then realised what was going on, he hugged onto her, tight.
Y/N: No... NO! Stay with me, stay with me it's okay.... it's okay.
He tried to stop crying but he couldn't, it can't be, not her.
Y/N: Please...
He begged, Wanda pulled away, a slight tremble on her lips as she didn't want this to happen.
But it was.
Wanda: I'm sorry.

Flakes began to form and eventually.
Wanda was gone too.
Y/N's love, Jean's mother.
Gone.
Y/N: N-No-... NOOOO!
He screamed, reaching the dust but to no avail, she was really gone. He began to cry uncontrollably. His emotions being filled with sadness, anger and vengeance.
Natasha was walking around confused, and saw Y/N, immediately recognising what happened to Wanda. She ran to Y/N's side, crouching down and hugging him close. No words shared.
Everyone was in deep agony.
Steve joined along with the others remaining, Thor, Okoye, Bruce, Killmonger, Rhodey and Rocket.
Steve: Oh God...

Y/N: Jean. I-I-I need to see Jean!
He cried out, Natasha helped him up and they both ran as fast they could through the destroyed battlefield of Wakanda and into the palace.

Y/N's POV
Walking up the stairs hurriedly with Natasha, we got to the floor where Jean was being kept safe in.
Upon arriving at the door, we saw Queen mother crying. We didn't want to tell her about T'Challa due to how much she had already seen. She had her back pressed against the door and there was a guard knocked unconscious making me worried.
What happened to Jean?
I opened the door and Natasha followed in, we were immediately shocked to what we saw.
My two year old was floating, objects around her floating with orange wisps surrounding her body and the objects. Sort of like Wanda but a different colour.
Her eyes were glowing, brightly orange as a few tears fell from her face to ground. I had no idea she had powers, I knew they were gonna happen but not at this age.
Jeannie's eyes immediately turned from bright orange back to E/C, she then dropped down along with objects and I swept in time, catching her.
The girl began crying against my shirtless chest, I held her close trying to stop myself from crying. Thank God she's here, I was slightly relieved, not knowing what I'd do if I'd ever lose her.
Jeannie: W-Where's Mama?
She must've sensed her presence leaving. I couldn't answer because I didn't know where she was, I just stroked her hair turning around to see Natasha who also had tears in her eyes.
The Avengers had lost.
We lost.
