Wanda: I-I'm serious like never... You can't...

I took one of her hands from my body and placed it on my chest, she looked down at her hand on my chest with mine placed over it.

Y/N: What do you feel?

Wanda: You. I feel you.

Y/N: If you ever have a nightmare, you find me and place your hand on my chest. If it's beating, I'm alive.

I chuckled lightly, bringing my hand back to her face and wiping her tears that were streaming down her cheeks tenderly with my thumbs.

Wanda: If you're going to die. Just- just do it after me.

23 Days Later

Y/N's POV

A month had nearly passed, but nothing had changed. We were all in shock that for the first time, we lost. Half the universe had disappeared.

Most of us went back home, Eric and Okoye stayed in Wakanda to keep the people safe. While I took Jeannie with me to New York.

It felt like I was losing everyone again, just like I did with my dad, my mom... my brother.

I've just been keeping Jean with me at all times, after what happened with her prowers back in Wakanda, I made sure to keep her with me at all times.

Currently, Natasha and I were going to Clint's house, because we needed to check up on him.

Arriving at the not so green hill of the Barton residence, we exited the quinjet, Jean was sleeping in my arms clutching onto my shirt.

Y/N: You think he's here?

Natasha: Let's hope.

We walked up to the house, Natasha knocked on the door but there was no answer. After trying again, I decided to turn the doorknob which opened easily, meaning it was already unlocked.

I entered first, feeling the silence and emptiness of the house. But upon turning to my left, I reacted by turning to my left and kept Nat back. An arrow flew by my face and hit the wall nearby.

I then peeked into the doorway to see Clint, sitting at the dining table, his head down. Natasha came foward to my side.

Natasha: Clint?

She called out, easing her way foward to the archer. I wanted to pull her away as I wasn't sure of his mental state but I ultimately let her go.

Clint: Didn't hear the knock... sorry.

He said dejectedly, the two of us stood beside him and Nat placed a hand on his shoulder. I looked around the room, seeing how messy it was. I didn't even even need to wonder where Laura and the kids were... it hit me immediately as well as Natasha.

Natasha: We're here for you, come back with us-

Clint: I left everything behind for them. I settled down. We were happy. I was finally there... as a father and husband.

He spoke abruptly, before slamming his fists on the table making us both flinch.

Clint: Was I not allowed to have that? Is this what was meant for me?

I instantly thought of myself, I lost Wanda. She was the only one who ever loved me for who I was, we built a family and lived happily in Wakanda.

But look at me now.

Y/N: Clint-

Clint: Now they're gone! They were ripped away from me before my eyes! I didn't even get to think before realising my whole family vanished!

He got up from the table and went over to the window. Clint leaned against the wall and looked out of it as he continued.

Clint: It should've been me... why couldn't I have gone with them?

He breathed heavily, as Nat went over to him. I felt Jean moving around from all the noise, I gently rubbed her back and kissed her head.

Y/N: Shh it's okay, go to sleep.

Natasha: Clint, we're all hurting. We lost Wanda, Sam... so many others. We need to be there for eachother more than ever now. Please. Let us help.

He bit his lip for a moment, chuckling sarcastically.

Clint: You two will never experience the feeling of losing a child. Family. And you should thank God for that.

Nat didn't know if he said that because of her infertility or if he was mentioning that Jean was alive and safe. We both didn't take it to heart.

Clint: Please. Leave me alone.

She turned to me, and I nodded, signalling that we should go. She came over towards me but told Clint one last thing.

Natasha: If you ever change your mind, you know where to find us. You're our family too.

I gave a somber look at the household, before taking Jean and Natasha with me to quinjet.

Inside the quinjet, we get a call from Rhodey. I answer it as his voice fills the speakers.

Y/N: What is it?

Rhodey: Tony is back. Came down from a ship.

I look to Natasha immediately, perhaps we can make something out of this.

-

Arriving back at the compound, I put Jean to sleep, giving her to Pepper who was also taking care of her own two year old, Morgan.

I was now in the room with the others, a blonde girl called Carol was also there along with the daughter of Thanos, Nebula. Tony was in critical condition and was in a wheelchair.

Rhodey: It's been twenty three days since Thanos came to Earth.

Natasha: World governments are in peices. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census and it looks like he did exactly what he said he was going to do... Thanos wiped out fifty percent of all living creatures.

I looked down, wiping my tears as I see Wanda's photo appear on the screen along with everyone that was lost.

Tony: Where is he now? Where?

Steve: We don't know... he just opened a portal and walked right through.

Stark moved his wheelchair, making eye contact with me, feeling guilty before looking at Thor, who was isolated in one of the rooms.

Tony: What's up with him?

Rocket: Uh he's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which of course he did, but there's a lot of that going around aint there?

The Raccoon answered, shocking Tony.

Tony: Honestly until this exact second, I thought you were a build a bear.

Rocket: Maybe I am.

Steve: We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks now. Deep Space scans, and satellites, and we got nothing. Tony, you fought him.

I sighed, looking at my left where Steve was beside me.

Tony: Who told you that? I didn't fight him. No, he wiped my face with a planet while the Bleecker Street Magician gave away the store. That's what happened. There was no fight.

He started to speak up, sarcastically as Steve tried his best in an attempt to cooperate with the tired and traumatised man.

Steve: Okay.

Tony: He's unbeatable.

Steve: Did he give you any clues, any coordinates, anything?

Tony: Pfft! I saw this coming a few years back. I had a vision. I didn't wanna believe it. Thought I was dreaming.

Steve: Tony, I'm going to need you on this.

Tony: And I needed you. As in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late buddy. Sorry. You know what I need?

He ubruptly stood up, causing me to come over and hold him.

Y/N: Tony, Tony! Sit back down.

He began to rant to Steve about a suit of armour around the world as I tried to get him to sit without hurting him, I failed in doing so and he continued.

Tony walked right up to Cap's face, his voice hushing down to a venomous whisper.

Tony: I got nothing for you, Cap! I got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options. Zero. Zip. Nada. No trust. Liar.

Steve looks affected by Tony's words. The old friends just gaze at each other. After a moment, Tony rips his Arc Reactor from his chest and shoves it into my hand.

I look at Tony in confusion, as he points at me, tears evident from looking through his glasses.

Tony: Here, take this. You find him, and you put that on. You hide.

He managed to get out to me, looking into my eyes if he saw hope in them. Tony collapses to the ground and I crouch down along with everyone starting to gather.

Y/N: Tony!

Tony: I'm fine... I...

He falls into a heap, unconscious.

-

I was now in the room where Jean was sleeping, comfortingly as she held onto that red blanket.

That blanket held on so much memories.

I looked down at her, finding ease by listening to her soft heartbeat whilst I sang her a lullaby.

Y/N: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray...

Wanda used to sing that to her... I shut my eyes, thinking about all the good memories but they only brought me pain.

I lean down and press a kiss on Jeannie's cheek.

Y/N: Go to sleep, my little Phoenix.

I got up and left, to see Natasha waiting in full suit, I was also wearing my suit.

Y/N: Let's go get this asshole.

-

On board the spaceship, was Me, Natasha, Steve, Rhodey, Thor, Bruce, Rocket, Carol and Nebula.

Rocket: Okay, who here hasn't been to space?

The Raccoon asks, everyone besides Thor, Carol and Nebula put their hands up.

Y/N: Why ask?

Rocket: You better not throw up on my ship.

He turns back. Eventually, Nebula speaks up, warning everyone.

Nebula: Approaching jump in 3...2...1!

Natasha reaches over and holds my hand, running her thumb along my fingers, as we both clutch tightly and brace ourselves.

The ship zoomed through the galaxy, entering a hexagon portal as everyone was hit with a strong impact sending us back.

Captain Marvel was sent down for recon, I got out something from my pocket, it was a photo of Wanda that I had printed.

I looked into that photo, her innocent smile. I'd do anything to see that smile again...

I put the photo in my pocket, looking to my left to see Natasha by my side. Probably one of the only Avengers that has been by my side. Considering I never saw those guys as family.

Natasha: This is gonna work, Y/N.

She said, giving me hope, and holding onto my hand.

Y/N: I know it will... because I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't.

Then, Carol came up from the planet towards our ship.

Carol: No satellites, no ships, no armies, no ground defenses of any kind... it's just him.

Nebula: Then that's enough.

-

After Bruce, Rhodey, Carol and Thor had ambushed the house Thanos was currently in. Steve, Nat, Nebula, Rocket and I walked into the broken down hut.

I saw the purple malicious Titan, in a farmer's wear, his arm was chopped off and was laying around.

My vibranium claws came out of my knuckles out of instinct, looking at him brought me so much anger and pain.

Rocket flipped over Thanos' severed hand, revealing the gauntlet and it was empty... no stones.

Rocket: Oh no.

Cap looked down then back up at the mad titan.

Steve: Where are they.

My heart beat fastened, looking at him and the gauntlet, seeing no way to bring Wanda back. My breath hitched in my own throat. I was holding back from doing something really, really bad.

Thanos groaned in the hold he was in, Carol tightened her grip on his neck.

Carol: Answer the question.

Thanos: Urghh... the universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.

Bruce: You murdered trillions!

The hulk busters arms knocked the sociopath to the ground.

Thanos: You should be grateful.

Bruce threw another punch at his face, my pressure building up gradually at his words.

Natasha: Where are the stones.

Thanos got up on one elbow, answering the teary eyed Natasha.

Thanos: Gone. Reduced to atoms.

Bruce: You used them two days ago!

Thanos: I used the stones to destroy the stones... it nearly, killed me. But the work is done, it always will be. I am inevitable.

Rhodey shook his head, as everyone looked at him disbelief and in their own self guilt. Knowing we were too late.

Rhodey: We have to tear this place apart, he has to be lying.

Nebula: My father is many things, a liar is not one of them.

That made me angry as his daughter replied. Whatever he did, he never lied to achieve his goals. Thanos smiled lightly at his daughter.

Thanos: Ah, thank you daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly-

I stuck my middle claw out, and in one swift movement.

I chopped Thanos' head off suddenly cutting everyone out of their thoughts. I couldn't control myself.

Everyone was in a brief silence before Thor spoke up.

Thor: Y/N, what did you do?

I turned around looking down as I passed him.

Y/N: What you should've done.

I said, my heart slowly breaking as I walked out of the hut. I could never have what I want, not Wanda, not a family, not a life...

Killing him didn't bring her back, it brought me more torment.

A/N:

Please read.

That there folks is the end of the Infinity War arc! Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Who liked the changes to story from the original MCU, (Wanda and Y/N Living in Wakanda, Killmonger being alive and Hulk redemption)??

AND WHO CAUGHT THE REFERENCES FROM THE MOVIES? Like the Wolverine Japan fight? I loved that part.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank the people who enjoyed those moments and have been supportive of the story despite it having so much time gaps.

The upcoming three arcs are my FAVOURITE. I've been planning this book ahead and I'm so EXCITED TO SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE PLANNED AHHHH.

So next we have Endgame, WandaY/N and X-MEN.

If you guys want to see more twists from the original MCU differently here, and want to see more Wolverine callbacks this one is for you as the story continues.

So many character redemptions, moments that set up future stuff, different plots from the films, fluff, Wanda Maximoff, Wolverine stuff from the films implemented, Marvel stuff, X-Men stuff, cameos, references, love and war.

These next arcs are FOR YOU. We'll see Y/N evolve as a father, hero and a... 🤔😉

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed.

Who's hyped? BECAUSE I AM.
