What the hell, Rockstar

[ankhmutes]

I had a wife.

"I had a wife."

Rick blinked. He hadn't expected that, of all things, to come from Daryl. He was the surly redneck and the hunter. He couldn't envision him as a married man. His long hair and goatee screamed bachelor, along with his torn sleeveless shirt. Granted, Rick had known him since the Quarry, and not before. They hadn't exactly met under the best of circumstances.

"Oh… I'm sorry." Rick said weakly as he shifted towards Daryl, the crackling of their campfire breaking the awkward silence. He hadn't gotten any kind of inkling of empathy from Daryl when he had been struggling with Lori. It did shine some light on his surly attitude towards Lori and Shane, and how he had gotten his own wife back. Daryl must really be missing her, thought Rick with a slight nod of his head to try to show some kind of empathy and understanding while he tried to find the words.

" 'sokay. I.. Merle n' me we were hunting. We went hunting every year t' get meat for everybody. Went home t' check on 'er an the kids." Daryl grimaced slightly with a nod of his head, letting out a puff of air, as if exhaling a puff of smoke from an imaginary cigarette. Rick breathed out quietly through clenched teeth, letting Daryl talk. He hadn't heard many words out of the man. It sounded as if each word was painful to say, the memories behind them painful. Daryl stretched out his body, leaning against the trunk of the nearby tree. His face aged in the minutes that passed.

"Found 'em. some of 'em." Daryl said with a grunt, tossing a twig into the fire, his blue eyes filling with tears. "Merle an' me.. we took what we could from home an' went up to the quarry. 's where they…woulda gone." Daryl exhaled in a half-sigh, and half sob. His eyes twinkled in the sea of moisture. Memories flowed through each breath. Rick could see Daryl swimming in the deep sea that Rick had been once, back in the hospital when he had first woken up and tried to find Lori and Carl. He wondered why Daryl hadn't said a word. Rick's life was Lori and Carl… well, now Carl and Judith. He could see it now, the way Daryl was so gentle with Judith, and confident with Carl. He was a dad himself, he knew just what to do with his own children, treating them as if he was also their father. Rick couldn't imagine losing Carl and Judith, and watching someone else raise children when he should have been in that place. "How.. how?" Rick asked, not sure how to word it without breaking the fragility of the moment.

It was a long while before Daryl let out an audible breath, his blue eyes moving from the fire to Rick, but then they darted back. Daryl was not ready for eye contact, or any kind of comfort. Daryl's hands clenched and unclenched, as if bracing himself.

"We were high school sweethearts. Knocked 'er up. Firs' kid … " Daryl shuddered, his breaths sharp with grief and pain and joy at the memory of holding the child. Daryl half-smiled. "We was like rabbits. Six kids." Daryl snicked softly and shook his head. "Dun wanna know what happened to 'em, but.. I had ta get out of there." Daryl kicked at the fire, sparks flying. He leaned forward, rubbing his eyes.

"Hadta put who I found down." Daryl leaned back, his head hitting the trunk of the tree with a loud and painful sound. Rick remained silent, not wanting to scare off Daryl. He and Daryl had been on their way back to Alexnadria, after a failed hunt and Rick had been talking about finding something for Judith's birthday all day long. Rick felt like crap, like a monster when now he realized Daryl had a wife, and five kids. Like Abraham, he had lost his entire family to the walkers and kept on going. He couldn't imagine finding Carl in a closet, and having to put him down. He knew others had to put down their family members, and Rick had gotten out relatively unscathed, his son and daughter still intact, with a new mother figure and possibly wife in the picture. While Daryl had no one but Merle, to lean on. Merle was an asshole, but he was family, and Merle... was Merle.

"I'm sorry." Rick finally said, watching Daryl as he stared silently into the fire. There were no words left that could touch the depth of the pain that Rick could see in Daryl.

If you liked this, please comment and let me know, so I can continue to put effort in this. Otherwise, leave it as a one shot. I'd love to have help with something like this, if anyone is interested. Just DM me anytime. This scene wouldn't leave my head so... sharing it best I can with gifs too. I've had this story bugging me for ages.

Edited to add: I finally put it up on Ao3.

[storytimewithnikokat]

This next story is based off a dream I've had last year, so it doesn't have a name yet. Read through it, and tell me what I should name it! Keep in mind this does have a character from Vivziepop's series, "Hazbin Hotel." Why? I don't know. For some reason my brain decided to make a fanfic without my consent, and did it in my sleep.

--------------------------------------------------

I open my eyes to find myself in an abandoned and worn down factory, in the middle of the night, feeling winded and out of breath. The ceiling had collapsed, which left iron and machinery scattered across the room. The door behind me was to the yard and was broken and hanging from its hinges.

To the left was an open door that led to a hallway, with another room on the other side. I could hear metal clanking and yells and grunts coming from that direction. I walked through the door and down the hallway to reach a room that was much larger than the one I was just in.

The ceiling in this room wasn't as damaged as the last room, but there was still plenty of moonlight coming through large holes. There was not as much damage and debris as in the last room but there was a lot more machinery. In the middle of the room seemed to be a teenage girl and an older man. It appears to me that they are in a fight, and they've been at it for a while.

The girl was holding a long broken metal pipe, wielding it like a spear. Her shirt was torn and ragged, exposing parts of her stomach, blood staining her shirt. Her arms and face were bloodied from slashes inflicted by the knife.

The man holding the knife was tall with short stylish hair, and a goatee. He was wearing a fancy suit and tie, also ripped and torn, which I assume was from the girl.

They were fighting, both looking skilled with their weapon of choice, trading blows which weaken the other immensely.

The man slashed at the girl, who dodged with ease, pulling off a gymnastic backflip onto a pile of wooden trays behind her. She retaliates by lunging at him with her makeshift spear, looking as if she's about to finish the fight. But the man was much taller than her, and used his long leg to kick her midair in the stomach.

She fell to the ground with the wind knocked out of her, with her weapon surprisingly still in her hand. Before she was able to get up and attack again, the man kicked her in the face, sending her flying into the wooden trays she was standing on top of just seconds ago, the pipe flung from her hand. She struggled to get up, but a piece of wood was jabbing into her leg, making her bleed. She screamed in pain and fell back down.

"Finally," the man says, his voice familiar to my ears. "You, laying at my feet, just like a woman should." He chuckles as he kneels and comes face to face with the girl. "You see Vagatha, I've told you this already: I'm still a free man, because no one has been able to stop me. And I predicted that I would stay free, because you wouldn't be able to stop me."

He grabbed Vagatha by the hair and dragged her back to their fighting space and threw her to the ground. "You know, even after all the fun I have killing these people," he says. "I haven't had the time to do things for myself." He loosens his belt and begins to undo his pants, the knife still in his hand. "So it's time for you to do for what you were born for, and make me happy." He exposes himself and climbs on top of Vagatha and threatens her throat with the blade.

He uses his free hand to rip her shirt from one of the tears and exposes her bra. To my confusion, she didn't fight back, just staring him down with the most deadliest of stares. He switched hands and used the knife to cut the bra and reveal her breasts, chuckling and smiling like a maniac.

As the man cut her bra, Vagatha winced and grunted in pain. He must have nicked her chest in the process.

You can see the drool dripping from his mouth as he attempts to take off her jeans, but before he was able to, Vagatha had stabbed him in the side with the piece of wood the used to take residence in her leg. I didn't even see her take it out. Was that why she wincing in pain earlier?

The man threw his head back and howled in pain, spit flying across the room. He took the knife with both hands and held it high over his head. He slammed it down on the girl's eye, and her cry made my heart sink.

Even with the knife still lodged in her head, she took out the wooden steak and plunged it back into his side, repeatedly stabbing him.

Eventually he fell off the girl with blood pooling from his mouth.

Vagatha was lying still on the cold floor, sobbing. She was covering herself and shivering. Then she reached for the knife in her eye. She took a few deep breaths, but as she yanked it out, I woke up with her screams still in my ears.

Dragon Dancer IV: Pompeii

My eyes came open to a darkened room. Immediately, I thought of Ru’Yi. I had to find her. My heart beat fast and my breath came in gasps.

But when I tried to get out of bed, my hand did not come with me and the clang and sharp pull of metal told me why.

I was cuffed to the bed. It was too dark to see. I struggled trying to open the shackles. The cuffs were so wide so as to cover my whole wrist. They were dark colored and looked medieval. Sobbing, I felt a sudden catch in my throat and I started to cough.

My throat felt constricted and my voice came in a hiss. I remembered this. This was the effect of the poison they’d given me back in Japan, the one that prevented me from using my voice and activating Soul Skills. Otherwise, I could just use Berengaria to free myself.

There had to be a way out. I couldn’t give up! I thrashed, flipping over pillows and feeling around the blankets to try to find something. I didn’t know what I expected. A key? Something I could pick the locks with?

There was nothing. Frustrated, I began to pull harder, trying to break the bed frame.

The lights in the room turned on.

Standing, staring at me in the door to the room was a man in a dark blue robe, holding a half empty glass of wine. His chest was bare underneath the velvet and well muscled. His eyes were a bright piercing blue. An elegant goatee graced his fine features. He eyed me with mild surprise. 

We didn’t say anything to each other or move for several seconds. What did he want from me? I turned and looked at the cuffs, the bed, his state of undress and gathered myself up into the corner of the mattress, ready to fight with everything I had.

His eyebrows raised and he glanced away, a short breath escaping his lips. “For a moment I thought my bed had been invaded by raccoons. Then I see you and wonder what manner of woman is so desperate to sleep with me that she sneaks in my room and handcuffs herself to my bed?”

He settled the cup on a nearby marble top table. For the first time, I see that the bedroom was huge. The walls and ceiling were covered in thick, elegantly carved dark wood panels. The shelves were lined with artifacts and relics from all over the world.

“But then... I see your reaction and I realize that you did not handcuff yourself to my bed. You were brought here. By the elders I presume?” He pulled out a few small tools. One, conveniently, was a file.

I touched my throat and shook my head.

He froze eyes wide. “You can’t talk?”

I closed my eyes, feeling the dragon in my body and opened them again, shining them golden in the dark.

He nodded once. “A Hybrid... and a high purity hybrid and that. Of course... since you’re here.”

He reached into the drawer again and took out a pen and paper. He walked over, set them on the bed, close enough for me to reach. “Write your name...”

He then sat back down at the small marble top table and continued to sip his wine. “You’ll have to forgive them. They’re a bunch of dusty old vampires with one thing on their minds...” He swirled the glass with an idle smirk. “In fact, I would tell you their history but it gets a bit pornographic.”

He grinned with good humor. “My name is Pompeii Gattuso. I’m the current Patriarch of the Gattuso Family... which makes me the chief drone of our little ant colony." He paused mid sip. “You do know what a ‘drone’ is... don’t you?”

I wrote, “A drone is what you’re doing right now.” I held up the piece of paper. He took one look at it and laughed. 

“A bold one. I like it.” He put the glass down. “A drone is a male ant. And the only job of a male ant is to mate with the queen. And the only job of the queen ant is to have babies. That’s how they see you and I. It’s insulting.”

I gathered my knees to my chest and glared at him. 

He put his glass down and glared back. “I’m not going to do anything to you. You can relax.”

He tossed me the metal file and immediately I got to work on the cuffs.

“Try not to get metal shavings on the bed. And you still haven’t given me your name.”

My name wasn’t important. I wasn’t sure if I could trust this Pompeii person with my name or any other information that might compromise my mission. I just needed to get in contact with Caesar.

I paused in my filing and wrote. “Can you call Caesar Gattuso?”

“Maybe I can... maybe I can’t. Even if I could, there’s no guarantee he’ll want to talk to me. Still... before I do anything, I’d like to get your name first.” 

His voice took on a more insistent tone. He was staring with an increasing intensity. I glanced back at him only momentarily, feeling a bit of pressure. Was he going to figure me out? Did he know about the Elders’ plans? Was he going to help me escape? Or not?

My palms had started to sweat and the file slipped from my hands and flew across the room.

Pompeii rested his chin on his twined fingers. “Shall I retrieve that for you? Your name, miss.”

I hurriedly scratched out “Carli Lu” not bothering to use my real name. Chu Zihang still didn’t exist in this world.

“Carli Lu? The wife of Mingfei Lu?” His eyes went wide and he stood up. “If you’re here then...” His brow furrowed. “Mingfei Lu is dead?”

I turned away from him, unwilling to give him any clues by my expression.

“If he is... he’d be proud of you. I’ve seen women jump into my arms before the first clod of dirt has hit their husband’s casket... yet you want nothing to do with me, even if you’d be set for life.”

I heard his footsteps as he went to get the file. Much to my surprise, he began to work on the handcuffs himself. “Tell me... yes or no. Is Nono alright?”

I shook my head no. 

Fear and concern reflected in his eyes. “Is she alive?” He stopped filing.

I whispered. “They’re going to kill her.”

He grabbed my shoulders. “Where is she?”

Relief filled me. He was an ally of Nono’s! “Japan... The Japanese Branch is protecting her. But only Caesar can go get her. They won’t let anyone else have her... but...”

Pompeii shook his head. “Not enough.” He went back to filing at the chain. “Kaguya has been completely conquered by EVA.  You realize though...” He looked up at me pausing in the filing work. “Once this gets out to Caesar he’s going to kill every last one of them?”

“I only care about Nono’s life...” I said, still careful not to reveal anything more of our plans.

He continued to file away, pieces of the metal were coming off in silver curls and landing on the floor. “The Elder’s think they’ve won... so they’re making stupid moves. God!” 

The chain snapped, freeing me, but he held me down, keeping me from getting up. “There’s something you need to understand. Caesar may seem rich, but Nono is the only thing that’s truly his. If they take her away, he will lose himself. After killing everyone here and burning this place to the ground? He’ll board a plane alone and fly it into a mountain. I can’t let that happen, do you understand?”

I nodded, shaken by the emotion in his eyes that glittered inches from my face. “Who are you?” I rasped.

He chuckled. “Can’t you tell? I’m his father!”

My jaw dropped. He looked so young! I never would have taken him for the father of Caesar Gattuso. He’s the one! He’s the one to help me! 

I seized him by his robe to tell him to help my daughter, but it came loose, descended his shoulders, revealing his shoulders and powerful arms as well as his nipples and abs. 

“Hey! Don’t change your mind now!” He laughed.

My face flushed and I looked away, hissing apologies. “I ... My daughter. They have her. I have to get her back.” I squeaked.

“I can’t tell what you’re saying unless you look at me.” 

His hand slipped under my chin and turned my face to his. We were barely an inch apart. I stared, captivated a moment before I pushed him away. “They have my daughter!” I forced my whisper louder.

“Daughter? You’re a mom?” He blinked.

“Yes! They’re going to raise her to be Caesar’s bride!” I slid across the sheets, putting the bed between us, and landed on my feet.

“Wait!” But Pompeii couldn’t chase after me without retying his robe, giving me a chance to get some distance away.

It was more of a suite than a bedroom. One door let to another door and another door. But a large arched entry way told me that this door was the true way out. Before I could even lay my hand on the door knob, Pompeii’s hand covered my mouth and he pulled me away.

I struggled but he held me firm, whispering in my ear.

“You can’t just run out there. You don’t know where you’re going! And the instant they see you, they’ll know I helped you escape!”

When I stopped trying to get away, he finally let me go. “Let me handle this.” 

He gave me a confident smile and wink. “It won’t be pretty. And I guarantee you won’t like it. But I’m sure it’s going to work.”

*My POV*

"Wolfie, Wolfie, come on (y/n) wake up." I groaned tiredly and slowly I opened my eyes to see blurry figure standing over me. As my vision came back into focus, all I saw was long dark brown hair, a scruffy beard and a blue uniform as well as a metal arm.

"B—Bucky-bear?" he smiled widely and that's when I gasped and immediately tackled him in a hug. We embraced each other tightly as I whimpered out a sob. I wept into his shoulder, feeling all sorts of emotions at this point as I nuzzled into his neck. I felt him stroked down my hair before cupping both sides of my face.

"You're here." He said.

"So are you. Bucky you—you were the first to....." I trailed off before looking down sadly remembering what happened.

"Hey, it doesn't matter now. I'm back. And so are you."

"Yeah. Let's—let's see if we can't find the others." He nodded and that's when we stood up and walked along the jungle and the first people we found were Wanda and Sam. "Mama bear? Falcon?" they turned and the second she saw me, she immediately ran up and embraced me and I hugged her back.

"Oh Wolfie you're here too? Did you—"

"Yeah I....I was. Do—do you think they defeated Thanos?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"More importantly, how long do you think it's been?" it was then we heard a lion's roar in the distance.

"Isn't that—"

"Gen. And Sam." I turned towards them and Wanda said.

"Go, they're your people and they need their alpha." I nodded then I phased into my wolf form and took off running through the jungle. I stopped at one point and let out a mighty howl signaling my chimera pack to come find me.

As I ran through the jungle running towards the very part of the jungle where we all met up before the battle, I kept howling to signal every chimera to come find me. And I could hear not only from the animal calls far and wide of Wakanda, but also their voices through my collar of their panicked voices.

Finally I reached my high rock point and soon flying in was Maria as well as half of the bird chimeras. Leaping over the boulders was Sam, Dani and Gen as well as all the remainder cat and bear chimeras. Reptiles, elephants, canine, and stallion chimeras came near and they all talked through their collars.

'Alpha what's happened?'

'Did they save us?'

'What has happened?'

'Where is everyone?'

'How long were we gone for?' I let out a howl to silence everyone's panic and I said.

'My friends I don't know exactly what has happened. All I do know is that we've been brought back. How I don't know.' It was then a familiar yellow portal opened up and I was hoping it would be my mom but soon coming out was a man with sleeked black hair with a grey streak on the lower side of his head.

He wore similar clothing to how my mom trained me in the ways of the sorcerers. Could he be one of them too? He also had a red cloak that smelled alive to me, as well as a similar goatee that reminded me of Tony's.

"I'm looking for Mother wolf Raksha, otherwise known as (Y/n) Williams." I hopped off the rock now in my human form and I walked up to the sorcerer cautiously.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Doctor Strange and I'm here to answer your questions as well as ask for your help. There's not a lot of time to explain but it's been five years since Thanos succeeded his mission of universal genocide."

What?! Five years!? How—how is this possible?

"As I said I don't have a lot of time to explain because now the Avengers need our help. Can I count on you and your chimera army to fight the final battle against Thanos?" I turned to everyone and they all stood strong and nodded.

"Just tell me this Doctor Strange, will this fight be the one we win this time?" he just looked at me and said.

"If I tell you what happens, it won't." Typical. Mom always said the same thing.

"What do we have to do?"

"Just walk straight ahead with your army, then when the signal flares, you come through."

'What signal would that be exactly?' asked Sam.

"Your alpha will know. The rest of your army will join you at the location of the final battle." I nodded and with that he walked back through his portal and it disappeared.

'Okay—what the hell just happened?!' stated Maria.

'Has it really been five years?' asked Sarah, the second in command of the dingo chimeras.

"We'll ask questions later, right now we've gotta move." I said. I phased back into my wolf form and said to them. 'It may have been five years since everything happened. But we can't let that interfere with what we are about to do. Now I have a feeling that this fight will be bigger than the last one we fought, but we gotta hold strong. Thanos took away everything from us, and forced us to miss five years of being with everyone we know and love. Now's the chance to finally take our revenge on what he did to us. To those that survived and had to live without us. Let's show the bastard what happens when you mess with the chimera pack. Are you with me my friends?'

They all cheered and roared. I nodded and I ordered them to get into marching position. I stood in front of everyone and let out a howl and we soon marched forward.

As we walked ahead, I thought maybe I could try and reach out to my mom through the commlink on my collar.

I reached my metal paw up and pressed it to my collar and spoke.

'Mom can you read me? Mom it's me (y/n) can you read me?'

*3rd Person POV*

As Morowa was stunned to hear the voice of (y/n) from her commlink, at the same time Steve got a message from Sam Wilson.

'Hey Cap you read me? Cap it's Sam can you hear me?' Steve was in shock to hear Sam's voice over his commlink and as he pressed against his ear, the next thing he heard before the sparks of a portal began to open were, 'On your left.'

Play video

Both Steve and Morowa turned around and soon three figures came walking out of the portal. Okoye donned in her Dora Milaje uniform along with holding her spear, but it was the two people that she was with that sent so many emotions through them, especially Morowa.

For walking alongside Okoye, was Princess Shuri in her designed warrior outfit along with Vibranium sonic gauntlets and her face decorated in warrior paint. And right in the middle was the Black Panther, King T'Challa.

His helmet came down so that he could look into the eyes of his sister and fellow leader of an army. Steve and Morowa were relieved as well as thrilled to see them again. T'Challa stared at them strongly before giving them a brief nod.

It was at that moment Sam Wilson came soaring out of the portal and circled around the battlefield just as dozens of other portals began to open up from all different corners of the world and universe while Thanos stood there perplexed.

From Titan; Doctor Strange opened up the portal and readied his shields while coming up in front of him were the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Drax, Mantis, Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, and then swinging up and landing in front of them was none other than Peter Parker, Spider Man. He landed on some rubble before deactivating his mask and he stood up with a slight grin.

Morowa and Steve grinned at each other and nodded. It was then T'Challa proclaimed the Wakandan battle cry as coming out from behind him was the reassembled army of Wakanda. All those who faded away five years ago were now back and ready to defend not only their mother land, but their entire planet.

"YIBAMBE!"

"YIBAMBE!" his army cried out after their king as they all came out of the portal.

"YIBAMBE!" Morowa cried out to her people and the entire army including T'Challa echoed back to her.

"YIBAMBE!"

"YIBAMBE!!"

"YIBAMBE!!" As the portals grew larger and larger some Wakandan ships as well as Ravager ships came out. Leading in front of the Jabari tribe was Bucky wielding the same gun he used five years ago along with teenage Groot at his side.

Another portal opened up from Norway revealing the remaining Asgardians who came to Earth. Valkyrie wore her Valkyrie armor and was astride upon her winged Pegasus, and standing along side her were Korg and Meek ready to battle. Also joining beside them was Wanda, her palms glowing with her powers ready to fight.

Soon coming from Hong, Kong, London and New York were all the sorcerers activating their shields and getting into battle ready stances and leading them was none other than Wong. The portal opening beside them held a Ravager army led by their newest captain, Kraglin.

Growing to normal size was Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne. She wore the newest advances Wasp suit that her mother never got to wore before she disappeared in the quantum realm, but it was a sign that Hope was to become the new Wasp. She looked around hoping to find Scott.

As they watched all their allies and friends coming forward ready to battle, Thor caught Stormbreaker in his hand and as Tony sat up finally conscious, he was most surprised to see a blue Iron woman suit land in front of Spiderman and the Guardian's portal. When the front of the helmet went up, the woman in the suit was none other than his wife, Pepper Potts.

And from both Wakanda and Ireland, the chimera army reunited together. Everyone in their animal forms and leaping in front on a pile of rubble letting out a mighty howl was none other than Mother wolf Raksha herself.

As Strange met up with Wong, he turned to him and asked.

"Is that everyone?"

"What you wanted more?" Wong snapped back at him. But it was at that moment from the rubble of the facility that still stood, Giant Man came out bursting through the rubble. He opened his palm to reveal Hulk, Rhodey who was now in the Patriot suit and on top of his shoulder wielding a gun was a grinning Rocket Raccoon.

*My POV*

This was it. The final fight that hopefully end all of this. Thanos took everything from me, and this time I wasn't gonna let him win again. As our side cheered and proclaimed out a battle cry and my chimeras all roared and stamped their feet to the ground, we were showing Thanos that we weren't gonna back down.

We we're going to fight, whatever it takes.

As we all got into position and my chimeras all crouched down, fur, feathers and scales riled up ready for a fight, I heard Steve proclaim.

"AVENGERS!!!" I saw Thor's hammer actually go to him and as he caught it he took a pause before finally saying. "Assemble." With a battle cry from Thor as well as all of us we charged head on.

Ships, choppers, a Pegasus and bird chimeras took to the skies while the rest of us charged head on. Battle cries, screeches, roars and snarls were heard all around as I led the charge with Sam, Dean, Mitchell, Dani and Gen running beside me, all of us baring our fangs, roaring and snarling.

It was then Thanos' army charged toward us. All those that we had once killed were now alive again like the Black Order as well as the alien dogs were back. But just like five years ago, we'll end them too.

Both sides charged at each other. The forces of good and evil facing head on until finally we all meshed together in swords, weapons, teeth and claws. I first tackled one of the Chitauri aliens and literally ripped their head right off their body. Then just before an army of them could come at me, I unleashed the famed weapon that made the Bad Wolf most fearful, the super bark.

They went off flying into the air before being caught by the talons of my bird chimeras and were tossed around like prey before being torn apart limb from limb. I saw the Winchester pride working together to bring down one of the alien gorillas that Thanos had. Sam and Dean tackled the arms and shoulders while Dani and Gen worked together to bring him down by going for the head.

As I took down a few more Chitauri as well as some alien dogs I soon saw Tony getting outmatched by the Hulk sized alien. I growled and as Tony was knocked to the ground I charged head on. I saw two spiderwebs get shot at the Hulk alien's arms forcing him backwards.

That's when I leaped over Tony starling baring my claws and teeth at him before tackling him to the ground. I pinned his arms down, my metal claws digging into his armor as I licked my chops and bared my fangs down at him before immediately barking and snarling as I went for the head.

Like ripping apart a piece of meat, I heard the bones in his neck break and rip apart as I now held his head in my mouth and quickly disposed of it. Standing guard over the corpse , blood dripping from my fangs daring anyone who was nearby to come at me.

To the aliens that witnessed this horrific scene, they all just ran off but that was futile as I saw Gen and Sam ambushing them along with some of the leopard chimeras.

'Have at them my felines.' I muttered before turning to Parker. 'Thanks for the leverage Peter.'

"Wait—she wolf? Is—is that you holy cow you—you have a metal arm now? That's awesome chick. I-I-I mean well I....."

'It's cool Pete. You're not so bad yourself.' I walked off the corpse of alien Hulk before turning to Tony. Peter looked the same way I did and leapt over and said as he helped Tony stand up.

"Hey. Holy cow! You will not believe what's been going on. Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty? And I must've passed out because I woke up and you were gone. But Doctor Strange was there right? And he was like....'it's been five years come on they need us'. And then he started doing the yellow sparkly things that he always does." I rolled my eyes at Peter's rambling.

But it was then I saw Tony walking right up to Peter before finally giving him a hug. Peter asked what he was doing but when he realized he was getting a hug from his idol and mentor, he relaxed and said as he hugged him back.

"Oh, this is nice." That's when Tony turned his attention on me. He let go of Peter and walked right up to me. I lowered my ears briefly and the two of us were silent and he said.

"Again I refuse to yell at a sad wolf. Let me see your human form now missy." I obeyed him and the second I turned human, he hugged me as well. I was tense at first because I didn't know how he would react this way.

I mean the last time we saw each other we—didn't end things very well. He believed that I had died that day in Siberia and I forced him to think that, not once did I send him something to show that I was okay because I was still pissed at him for pointing the targeting Bucky who had no control of his actions at the time.

But when I saw that he wasn't going to yell or even hit me, I relaxed and embraced him back.

"When this is all over, we're gonna have a serious talk young lady. But first please tell me I didn't give you that." He gestured to my metal arm.

"It's unrelated." He nodded then as the three of us looked out at the battle raging around us.

"Alright you two, go be Avengers." Peter and I nodded and as his helmet came back up and he swung away, I phased into my wolf form and raced off.

I assisted anyone nearby with either my skills as a sorceress, using my Native American transformer weapon, or phasing into my wolf form to take down the bigger prey. It wasn't until I was taken by surprise by old alien blue-haired bitch from five years ago. I snarled at her and I leapt at her in my wolf form, the two of us rolling around in the dirt. She had me pinned but just before she could stab right through me, a massive black furred body tackled her and proceeded to rip her head off.

Snarls and growls were heard as well as choked cries from her as her head came right off and it was tossed aside. I shook myself of the dirt and sniffed the canine in front of me. He turned around and I knew those fiery golden eyes anywhere.

'Rauri?'

'A mhuirnín?' we slowly walked towards each other in our wolf forms.

'Oh my god....'

'Is it—it is you. You're here. You're really here!' he tackled me and proceeded to lick and nuzzle into my neck. The two of us grunting and whimpering happily and lovingly.

Phasing into human form, Rauri and I cupped each other's faces and immediately kissed each other with desperate passion.

"I thought I lost you." He said between our kisses. I smiled sadly and I said.

"Me too. But you did what I had asked you to do."

"Avenge you. But I—"

'Uhh excuse me?' we turned and there were the Winchester family, Mitchell and Marie trying to take down one of the alien gorillas. 'We get that you missed each other but do you think you could save the mooshie, love-dovie talk after the battle is done?' I turned to Rauri and said.

"Two Bad Wolves on the hunt?"

"My love I've been waiting five years to go on a hunt with you." Our eyes glowed wolf yellow and we both charged head on before leaping in our wolf forms, fangs and claws out as we both tackled the gorilla down and the two of us going for the killing strike.

*3rd Person POV*

As the war continued to rage on, Doctor Strange was sending up with wisps of Nazareth up from the ground on some of the Chitauri before sending them to another dimension. As he landed, Morowa landed beside him and her Jaguar helmet receded and she looked at the new Sorcerer Supreme and said.

"So. Stark said one out of 14 million we win right? Tell me now this is it?"

"If I tell you what happens, it won't happen." said Doctor Strange. Morowa rolled her eyes and said.

"Now I see why she chose you." Then without even his knowledge, one of the alien dogs came towards Strange but Morowa summoned a long whip and caught the dog by it's neck. She pulled it towards her before stabbing it with her spear. "And don't pull your whips like your punching, let it flow like an extension of your arm."

Without even looking she summoned another whip to wrap around a Chitauri's ankle before bringing it to her and she did a spinning sidekick.

"Like that." She cocked her head before reactivating her helmet and she took off running over the rubble to take down more of Thanos' goons. Strange shook his head and muttered.

"Show off."

"At least she proved a better rookie than you were." Wong spoke up after sending an alien to the highest point of Mount Everest. Strange glared at him before Wong summoned out a shield and blocked another alien's attack.

As Bucky continued to fire away at any nearby alien that came within shooting range he fired at them till he saw an old piece of rubble just ahead of him. From above he looked up and saw one of Thanos' ships and he got to thinking back to the battle with Connor.

"Steve!" After he used Mjolnir to knock out one of the bigger aliens he turned towards his best friend and Bucky said, "Follow me and give me some cover!" Steve nodded and as Buck raced on ahead, Steve covered his friend till the two of them reached the rubble of a steel door.

"What have you got in mind Buck?" asked Steve.

"Alright, we're gonna put this on our backs and when I saw go, lift hard." He nodded and the two super soldiers picked the steel door up and almost on cue, they saw (y/n) in wolf form taking down an army of aliens with her super bark. He let out a loud whistle. "WOLFIE! RAIJU!!!" They lowered the shield downwards so that (y/n) could easily hop right onto it.

With narrowed eyes, (y/n) charged towards the two soldiers and as soon as all four paws touched the steel door, Bucky cried out.

"NOW!" and with a strong lift upwards, the two soldiers pushed (y/n) towards the closest ship. And just like back in Wakanda, her wolf body began to spark with lighting and her eyes turned soulless white with spiritual energy.

Lowering her head and much like she was able to back in her days during Hydra, and like what happened with Connor in Wakanda, she headbutted the closest ship Thanos had and it exploded into smithereens.

Everyone around was in brief awe and as Rauri howled out victoriously, all the chimeras cheered for their matriarch alpha female in the success of using her most powerful weapon she had gained during her stay at Wakanda, the move that had set them all free.

She landed safely on the ground and shook herself of the rubble as she stared up at the sky to see the ship fall down to the ground before exploding into a bigger flame.

'Maria, you and any other bird chimera grab as many of our allies as you can and take them away from the west part of the field'. She said in her collar.

'On it Alpha.' Soon hundreds upon hundreds of bird chimeras swooped down and began picking up any Ravager, Wakandan soldier, sorcerer, and Avengers member they could find. 'It's all clear go for it!' And with that all clear, (y/n) used her resonance howl and blew the fire towards Thanos' army, burning them alive.

The two super soldiers watched in awe at this Alpha she-wolf and Steve couldn't help but be proud.

"When was she able to do that?"

"Steve you don't know the half of what she can do. She's really grown not only as a warrior, but as a leader."

"I can see that. Seems our young She-wolf is all grown up now."

"Indeed she is." Bucky said.

"Alright come on, let's see if we can't help her out." The two super soldiers nodded before running towards her.

*A/N: START AT 59 seconds*

In another part of the battle, Thanos was killing any hero on sight and he growled out.

"Where's Nebula?" one of his Black Order members, Corvus Glaive who stabbed an Asgardian with his spear said.

"She's not responding."

"Sire." Ebony Maw said in alert as he pointed outwards. It was then Thanos saw up ahead Clint Barton running with the gauntlet containing the stones.

As he ran through the army of aliens, Clint used his katana to cut down any aliens coming at him head on. But when an explosion happened behind him, he went rolling forward but he caught himself and using his glove, he fired a mini poison dart towards his assailant. As it went down, he turned to see a whole army charging right at him.

But the next thing he knew, two figures in a black and gold Vibranium catsuits came in front of them, both of them sending powerful kinetic energies at the army knocking them down.

"Clint!" two voices called out to him. The two figures turned and the helmets came down to reveal T'Challa and Morowa standing before him.

"Give it to us." Said T'Challa. Then like passing the flag over in a game of capture the flag, Clint handed the gauntlet to T'Challa and the two Wakandans turned towards the army.

"Just like the Masai Maura all over again ehh brother?"

"You and I remember our training at the Masai Maura very differently." Said T'Challa as both their helmets came back over their faces.

Then like two cats running through the plains, both T'Challa and Morowa skillfully dodged every threat that came towards them. And if one got surrounded, they'd toss the gauntlet over to the next cat warrior who was open.

Both using their suits once they were fully powered up to send a powerful wave through the army, knocking them all out. But it was when T'Challa had sent his powerful kinetic energy wave outwards, that he was suddenly knocked down by a double axe sword, which caused him to drop the gauntlet.

Morowa ran towards her brother and the two saw Thanos catch his sword and trudge towards them. But before he could take another step, someone landed between him and the two Wakandans. Red energy surrounded the area and all he was were gleaming red eyes.

It was Wanda Maximoff. And she was pissed.

"You took everything from me!" She snarled lowly.

"I don't even know who you are." Thanos snapped.

"You will." Wanda said lowly and threateningly. Her hands glowed as she began levitating in the air as well as bringing up two very large loads of rubble.

She fired one rubble pile at Thanos followed by the other, before finally landing down and using her own powers head on to hold of Thanos allowing T'Challa and Morowa to make their escape and grab the gauntlet.

But the ground around the gauntlet began to lift up, all thanks to Ebony Maw. The two of them leapt for the gauntlet unfortunately, they were now being squeezed to death by the earth surrounding them. T'Challa tried to keep hold of the gauntlet but he knew it wouldn't be long before he would be forced to let it go.

"I got it!" the two looked up to see Peter Parker swinging in and T'Challa immediately tossed him the gauntlet. Peter caught it before landing on the ground. "Activate instant kill!" the eyes of his suit lowered and gleamed red and his Iron spider legs came out and began to stab any alien that came right at him.

Back with Thanos and Wanda, Thanos tried to slice her in half with his axe sword but Wanda stopped him using her telekentic powers. His arrogance of his previous fights so far against the Avengers, he thought she'd be no different and that he could land a blow on her.

But he was wrong.

With a slight smirk and a gleam in her red eyes, Wanda sent a powerful upper palm strike which actually cut Thanos' weapon in half and sent it flying a good several yards away from him. Immediately using her left hand, she forced Thanos to rise into the air.

His entire body glowing with her energy as she now began ripping apart piece by piece, painfully slow every inch of his armor. Fearing for his own life and in his own narcissistic manner, Thanos proclaimed.

"RAIN FIRE!"

"But sire, our troops." Proclaimed Corvus.

"JUST DO IT!!" Thanos cried out in pain. And it was then his main ship unleashed all their guns and rained hellfire upon everyone down below.

Not only were the Avengers attacked, but all his ships and his army were also attacked too. As Wanda tried to protect herself, she was soon flow high above the air which forced her to free Thanos from her grasp. But just before she could land on the floor, a giant black mass caught her and shielded her.

'Hang on sister! Keep your head down!' From the voice coming from the collar, she knew it was Rauri. She ducked underneath his wolf stomach and he protectively wrapped himself around her shielding her with his Vibranium suit.

As the guns continued to fire down, Pepper ceased firing for a brief moment to see the lake beside the facility starting to unleash a flood down towards the battlefield.

"Uhh, is anyone else seeing this?" she asked through her commlinks. Doctor Strange who was the closest to the flooding, quickly ran towards the bottom of it and using his powers, created an air-like shield to keep the water up in a tornado shape. Because he knew if the water would rush down, everyone would be flooded.

Meanwhile back with Peter, he was starting to get overwhelmed by the army of alien dogs attacking him.

"I got this. I got this. Okay I don't got this. Help! Somebody help!" Steve who was currently riding on top of (y/n) had her stop and he said.

"Hey Queens, heads up." He then tossed Mjolnir across the field and then he told (y/n) as he unmounted her. "Go find him." She nodded then ran across the field to find Peter.

*My POV*

I sniffed the air for Peter's scent and that's when I saw Pepper in the blue Iron woman suit carrying Peter across the sky before sending him up towards a woman flying on a Pegasus. Wow and I thought those things didn't exist, but then again I've seen weirder so I'm one to talk.

I kept my eyes focused on them and just as a beam shot right in front of them. I ran up on top of a pile of dead alien corpses and leapt up towards Parker. As he grabbed the gauntlet, I grabbed him and I landed on the ground.

'Hang on tight Spiderman!' I ran back around but soon multiple shots were fired right down on us. I dodged as many of them as I could, sliding my claws against the earth to try and redirect myself (god I wish Hydra had turned me into a cheetah at this point).

Suddenly a blast came in front of us sending the two of us flying. I landed rolling on the ground in my human form. I groaned and tried to pull myself up but that's when another round of hellfire came raining down upon us.

"DUCK DOWN PETE!!" I exclaimed as the two of us crawled underneath a pile of earth and I got on top of him in my wolf form and fully activated the suit so that it would go around me as well as activating a shield to surround us. 'Keep your head down!' I said to him as all that surrounded us were grunts and the sound of constant gunfire.

I don't know how long it lasted, probably forever but it was then everything went dead silent. I perked my ears to see if I could hear anything and I thought I heard the sound of a sonic boom coming from the sky.

I deactivated the shield and that's when I saw the guns that once rained fire on up, were now firing at the sky.

'What the hell?' Next thing I saw coming down from the sky was this massive amount of energy. As powerful maybe even more than my Raijū form. It slammed right down into Thanos' ship immediately stopping the guns and when I took a closer look, I saw that it was actually not a weapon from a ship or missile, but a woman.

She flew back underneath Thanos' ship and like an exploding firework, his ship blew apart as the woman glowed like a giant start in the sky. Next thing I saw, Thanos' ship fell right into the river. Then the woman came and landed right over us.

She had blonde hair that had a combed over mohawk style haircut and she wore a red, blue and gold military suit of some kind. Her eyes were hard like stone as she stared down at us.

"Hi.....I'm Peter Parker, and this is (y/n) (l/n)."

'Williams now. (Y/n) Williams.' I said. At that point her eyes grew soft and a warm smile spread across her face as she said.

"Hey Peter Parker, (Y/n) Williams. You both got something for me?" we both stood up and as Peter held the gauntlet, we turned and saw the rest of Thanos' army heading straight toward us.

"I don't know how you're gonna get through all that." Peter said exhaustedly as he handed that gauntlet to the woman.

"Don't worry." Wanda said as she came flying in with the Valkyrie warrior on her Pegasus.

"She's got help." Okoye said as her and my mom came from our right. Pepper then landing beside my mom. All of my female chimeras came surrounding us as well as Shuri, the three alien girls, and the woman in the wasp suit.

'Get out of here Peter. We can handle this from here.' I told him. He nodded and backed off. I turned towards the army that was charging head on at us.

It was an all-female army versus the army of Thanos.

"Hey she-wolf." The blonde woman said to me. As half the girls charged head onto battle. I turned to her and she continued, "that powerful surge I felt on my way over here. Was that you?"

'Yeah I—I sorta call it my Raijū form, it's something I recently—well sorta recently discovered.'

"You know I think combined together we could cause them serious hell. Care to join alongside me?"

'I don't know. I never knew I could do it twice in a row.'

"Well if it's anything like this," she held her hand up into a fist forming that powerful surge I had witnessed earlier. "All you have to do is just let it all out." I turned towards my female chimeras and I said.

'Gen, Dani. Lead the advance, go!' they nodded and it was then Gen gave the command.

'Chimeras attack!' soon all my female chimeras charged head on to help the rest of the ladies with the battle. I took a deep breath and got into a hunting position.

I focused my energy on bringing back my Raijū abilities and once I had it, I opened my eyes and just let it go and allowed the power to consume over me.

"There you go She-wolf, let's show 'em what we got." I let out a powerful resonance howl and thanks to my enhanced raijū powers, it made my howls twice as dangerous and deadly.

The woman and I charged head on and like two firing sonic bombs, we both bombarded through the army with her holding the gauntlet and me racing beside her sending out either sonic super barks or sonic resonance howls.

We got closer to the van that was going to be our time portal to get the stones back to where they came from before Thanos can even get ahold of them.

But I saw Thanos charging right for us so I let out a sonic resonance howl towards him which sent him backwards but it wasn't until three additions blasts that really got him flying backwards. Just before the woman and I got any closer to the van, a giant sword slammed right into the tunnel which sent quantum energy out sending everyone within range backwards. I rolled around on the ground and as I skidded across the floor, my vision went black.

*3rd Person POV*

After the blast and the gauntlet was now lying there in the middle of the ground, Tony removed a dead alien corpse off of him and saw the gauntlet just a few feet away from him. He turned to see Thanos going right for it, but he quickly tackled him to the side so that he couldn't get to it.

But with a jab of his elbow right into his face, Tony was sent flying backwards with a harsh grunt and lay on the ground completely exhausted. Thanos went for it again but just before he was inches away from it, Thor stepped in front of him and swung Stormbreaker at him.

Using both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir against Thanos, Thor managed to keep Thanos distracted from grabbing the gauntlet. He managed to force Thanos a few steps away then he turned back to grab the gauntlet but he was grabbed by his cape so swinging Stormbreaker again he tried to go for the head but Thanos caught his axe.

Thor called back his hammer and crossed it over Thanos' hand trapping him in an X lock as lighting sparked through Thor's veins and lite up his eyes as he yelled at the mad titan. Taking his chance, Steve leapt up and got onto Thanos' back and held him in a choke hold.

Enraged and having enough of their persistence, Thanos broke free of Thor's grip before headbutting him, knocking the God of thunder out. He then grabbed Steve by the back of the head and flipped him over his shoulder before standing over him and delivering a single punch to his head knocking him out as well.

With no one to stop him this time, Thanos finally grabbed the gauntlet but just before he could put it on, he was tackled and the sound of snarling and growling was heard. He tossed the mass of fur aside only to reveal Rauri standing in front of him snarling and baring his teeth.

Taking note to how his arms and biceps were now easy access thanks to his sister in law. Rauri went for the painful strike of getting right at his left bicep, hoping that by biting as hard as he could, it would cause Thanos to drop the gauntlet.

But all that did was make Thanos even more impatient and more angrier. He yanked on Rauri's neck hide in a choke-like manner forcing him to let go and he then sent a punch Rauri's way. But he got back on his feet and snarled at the mad titan again with tail raised high and fur on end.

He then tackled Thanos to the ground and the two rolled snapping and snarling at each other. When Thanos managed to pin Rauri down, using his Vibranium back claws, he scratched Thanos' armor slowly chipping away at it but till not doing enough damage. But it did give Rauri the chance to get out from underneath Thanos and hop onto his back in human form.

Using the fighting skills he learned from his wife way back when they first met. He ensured to have his legs wrapped around Thanos' waist as he used the Vibranium claws on his armor to deeply scratch down Thanos' arm and anywhere near his face. He even unleashed his fangs and took a bite into Thanos' cheek scarring his face up pretty bad.

Thanos let out a painful yell before finally reaching for Rauri and tossing him down to the ground. But he ensured to keep hold of Rauri's arm as he held it behind his back and over his head. Rauri tried to free himself but all that did was cause Thanos to dislocate his shoulder which sent out a cry of agony out of Rauri.

He was then grabbed by Thanos and tossed aside like trash just like he did to Stark. He grabbed the gauntlet again and this time he succeeded in placing it on his right hand. Just as he felt the power of the stones surging through him, he let out a cry but just before he could snap his fingers together, another figure tackled him.

*My POV*

When I woke up, I could hear the anguish cries of my husband. And when my vision became clear I watched as Thanos holding my husband's arm way above and behind his back and I think I might've also heard bones breaking. But it was when I saw him toss my husband aside like trash that it became personal.

Because when you mess with one wolf, you get the whole pack. Especially if that wolf is the Alpha's mate.

Feeling absolute rage as I saw Thanos place the gauntlet on is hand, I activated my raijū powers once more and charged at Thanos. Just before he could snap his fingers, I cried out a battle cry as I grabbed his right hand and kept his fingers apart from each other so that he couldn't snap them.

"You are not taking my family away from me again!" I snarled out as I allowed my raijū powers to increase with the burning rage I felt inside me. Thanos and I fought for dominance and then he decided to headbutt me, which of course didn't work as I kept my sharp glare at him.

I then unleashed my spirit wolf to come forward and pin him down while snarling down in is face. I let out a fearsome cry as my fangs came out and my eyes went from soulless white to wolf gold.

Of course the bastard had to cheat as he pulled out the power stone and held it in his other hand before closing it into a fist and punching me right in the chest sending me flying in the air.

*3rd Person POV*

Seeing this all unfold, Tony felt like they were going to lose again. This Thanos proved to be even more savage and deadlier than the one they faced five years ago. He looked towards Stephen Strange and Strange who was still maintaining the water, turned towards Stark.

As the two of them stared at each other, Stephen with a shaky hand, slowly lowered his middle, ring and pinkie fingers signaling to Stark.

One way.

It was then Tony realized what that one way meant. He knew what he had to do in order for this one victory to be the way they would save the universe.

Thanos reconnected the Power stone back to it's original spot and he once again felt the power of the stones surging through his body. Quick as a whip, Tony took hold of the gauntlet and held on as tightly as he could.

Thanos kneed him in the gut but Tony held on strong. He tried to go for a punch but Stark blocked it till finally Thanos just knocked him aside sending Tony away. Readjusting the gauntlet he stared at it in awe.

"I am....inevitable." then he snapped his fingers together. Only to hear a loud CLANK. Confused Thanos looked to the glove and turned it over. Only to see the Stones were gone.

But when he looked towards Tony, he saw all six of the stones moving up along his right palm and once all six stones were in place, Tony held back the agonizing scream as he felt the radiation from the stones starting to burn him alive.

The mad titan was horrified at what he saw. He had allowed his arrogance to blind him to what Stark had truly planned out.

"And I....." Tony panted out. "Am....." he glared pure hatred towards Thanos before finally whispering out strongly. "Ironman."

And with a single snap, a flash of bright light boomed around Tony and thunder rumbled in the sky.

*My POV*

As Mitchell and Maria helped me back up onto my feet I was in shock to what I had just seen. The first thing to turn to ash was one of those leviathan ships that was heading towards Rocket ready to swallow him whole.

Then the remaining army, but not just that everything related to Thanos. His ships, the fallen soldiers of his army, his order, everything Thanos had strived to create to get to this moment was turning to ash.

I turned towards my marine Betas and they looked at me in shock as well as awe. We went over to Rauri and Mitchell helped him stand up and we all watched as Thanos was forced to watch everything he worked for disappear.

Just like he made us watch as our loved ones disappeared all those years ago.

When only he remained, my beta chimeras surrounded him and the exhausted Titian just looked at them before finally sitting down defeatedly. Rauri and I walked towards him and stood in front of him glaring down at him. He sighed so softly it was like the breeze of the wind.

The two of us turned to each other before nodding. We looked back at him and leaned down towards him before softly blowing out some air and at that second, Thanos turned to ash and faded away.

"It is finished." I said. I looked up to Rauri and nuzzled into his chest and with his working arm, he wrapped it around me and kissed the top of my head. But it was then I remembered. "Tony."

I raced towards him and was horrified at what I saw. His skin was almost charcoal grey, he looked like ash from a fireplace, blood was pouring out from his nose and the corner of his mouth, and the right side of him was almost completely burned away.

Rhodey who stood beside him only nodded knowing that there was no way he would survive this.

"Tony." I choked out. I knelt down beside Rhodey and cupped the side of his face and he mouthed out.

"(N/n)."

"I-I.....you promised me we'd try to sort what happened in Siberia out. But I—I can't do that if you die. Please Tony I—I can't....I can't lose you too. Please Tony I—I'm sorry Tony I'm so, so sorry....." tears kept falling down my face as Rhodey gently picked me up and I soon felt Rauri's arm wrap around me and I wept into his chest.

At this point Peter came swinging in and he was just as heartbroken as I was as I heard him choke out.

"Mr. Stark? Hey! Mr. Stark, can you hear me? It's Peter. Hey. We won, Mr. Stark. We won, Mr. Stark. We won! You did it, sire, you did it. I'm sorry.....Tony." At this point Peter was like me at this point, trailing off crying as Pepper and Rhodey gently backed him away from Tony. Finally Pepper knelt in front of Tony.

"Hey." She softly said as she placed her hand over the arc reactor at the center of his chest.

"Hey, Pep." He softly whispered as he placed his hand over hers.

"Friday?" Pepper said and that's when I could hear Friday say.

'Life functions critical.' Oh god please don't tell me it's true.

The two of them stared lovingly at each other and all I could see even though the life was fading from his eyes, Tony was showing pure love as he stared at Pepper. Almost like he was trying to memorize her face one last time.

"Tony? Look at me." Pepper told him as Tony now tried to look away. He groaned weakly and wheezed softly as Pepper smiled assuringly but still having tears in her eyes. "We're gonna be okay. You can rest now."

And with that I heard Tony take his last breath. The light on his arc reactor die out, his hand fall lifelessly from Pepper's, and finally the last amount of life in his eyes went dull and empty.

Pepper's lip quivered as she lowered her head for a moment before kissing Tony's cheek and bowing her head to sob against his shoulder. It was then I knew, no we all knew.

Tony Stark was dead. Sacrificing himself to save billions of people across the universe.

Play deleted scene

We all stood there in silence and that's when I saw Clint bow down with his left leg forward pressing his head to his hand. T'Challa and my mom soon followed after turning to Clint, the both of them having the same leg out in front.

The blonde woman turned to them and she followed behind, while at the same time a man wearing some sort of red garb that looked alien to me also kneeled down. The blue robotic alien woman followed his lead immediately joined by the Valkyrie warrior.

Scott also joined in bowing. Steve followed suit then Thor, and Stephen Strange who held guilt in his eyes probably knowing that this is what had to happen in order for us to win.

I then phased into my wolf form and bowed respectfully for Tony. Rauri followed suit and tried to bow as best he could with a dislocated leg, every single one of my chimeras followed behind us. Soon the rest joined in, Bucky, Sam, Shuri, Okoye, Wanda, Rhodey, Peter, Bruce, the woman in the wasp suit, even the other aliens.

Every single one of us was bowing with our left foot forward as a sign of respect and gratitude to a man that sacrificed his life in order to save us all. A hero that should never be forgotten, the one who started it all.

Anthony Howard Stark.

i gots you a prompt: teen wolf/avengers. Laura & Derek Hale being in new york when the chitauri invade. gO!

i hate you and the horse you rode in on, @multistarks, so here; everything you absolutely did not want with your precious Derek Hale.

previous prompt (dark souls/avengers)

> next prompt

prompt #2: fenrisúlfr

Three years after the Hale fire, three years after the death of his family, after each and every member save but two and a half burnt to death on a cold, wintry evening, Derek Hale thinks: I wonder what Kate thinks about this?

It’s the first time he’s ever actually thought of her name in his head, the first time he’s thought of her, on purpose, without flinching and shoving the thought away to the back of his mind with everything else he’s repressing.

He can’t help it though; the almost dark humour of what she and her ilk must be thinking, of how they’re reacting with the sudden knowledge that werewolves aren’t the only things out there.

Because aliens.

Naturally.

He has no idea where Laura is - they didn’t keep track off each other like that, not really - but he can find her easily enough. The bond between them is simple, that of an Alpha and her Beta, nothing less and certainly nothing more. It used to be stronger, wilder, thrumming with tension and loyalty and constant irritation - it used to be a bond of siblings, one older and the other younger, an overbearing older sister and a younger brother tripping through puberty.

Not anymore. He doesn’t deserve any more.

But it’ll tell him where his Alpha is, at the very least. And with aliens everywhere and people running and screaming and the heavy dust of debris, Derek needs it, because Laura’s not picking up her damn phone.

It doesn’t take long for the streets to grow empty, for people to have already escaped and left everything and each other behind in the search for safety. Laura’s somewhere further ahead, right towards Stark Tower, which is stupid and ridiculous because that’s where the aliens are coming from. And of course she’d be around there the one day the world gets attacked by aliens. Of course.

He growls, irritation lighting up his throat with rumbles, and trudges on. He finds a working motorcycle, ignores the stab of grief at the memory of Uncle Peter and his ridiculous motorcycle that would’ve been in the garage, ignores the further stab of agony from that pack bond, frayed and withered and half burnt and dead.

He rides it. Takes it to the heart of Manhattan. Gets off.

And immediately realises the mistake he’s made.

Everywhere around him are aliens. Everywhere around him is chaos. The bond is going crazy, pinging from every direction possible and not giving him anything to work with. Laura’s still not picking up the phone, the air is full of a whine that’s painful to his werewolf hearing and-

Derek ducks. A car goes flying past.

Holy shit, he should’ve just stayed at the apartment.

But he’s here now, and if he can’t find Laura, he’s going to make himself useful. There’s a woman and her toddler behind a counter of a destroyed coffee shop. Derek hustles them over to another building, and then to another, and on and on till he finds a police officer to hand them over to. He jumps over ruined yellow cab’s and ducks under alien laser guns, ripping the arm of one when it’s too close to just dodge and not caring if he gets captured on screen.

What would it matter anyway? If the world found out about werewolves? Even humans wouldn’t be dumb enough to get distracted from aliens.

On and on he goes, pausing only once when he comes across a guy with a gun protecting two teenage girls. The guy reeks of wolfsbane and silver, and Derek snarls even as he fights off the persistent alien refusing to die already.

Hunter guy looks at him, eyebrows furrowed, gun hand steady. Derek glares back.

“Well, fuck,” hunter guy says, lips pouting into a disgruntled moue, “You gonna try and rip my throat out? Cus if not, I’m gonna take these two and leave the rest to you.”

And then the hunter guy does just that.

Derek snarls, irritation rising in him as he swipes at aliens trying to take potshots at the retreating humans. The hunter shouts back a thanks but doesn’t stop, leaving Derek behind like the piece of shit he is.

Hunters. And they called werewolves monsters.

Above him, an arrow goes whistling across the air, exploding a minute later in the grasp of a man with a strange, horned helmet. The man falls, making a crater on the cement as if he weighed a ton, and somehow staggers back up to his feet.

Not human. A quick inhale through his nose confirms it; herbs and old magic crackling with the scent of fire, threatening to burn Derek whole.

He takes a step back, instincts screaming at him to run, to get the hell away from the man, and he turns to do just that, to leave, screw Laura, screw everythi-

-A hand, around his neck.

Derek stutters, suddenly unable to breathe.

A hand, squeezing around his neck.

His hands scrabble uselessly against it, against the iron grip crushing his windpipe. His feet struggle to remain on ground, to have something to weight bear against that isn’t the five fingered grip on his throat, and-

He whines, soft and animalistic, scared, scared in a way he’s never been, scared in a way even Kate never made him scared and-

“Fascinating,” the dark, slithering voice croons, magic weaving through the letters, sliding into the cracks of his mind. “To think Midgard would have you.”

And somewhere, somewhere far away, something tugs, worry and panic and alpha calling out for him, calling him home, and Derek-

“Oh no, no,” the man croons, holding him aloft with one hand. “Can’t have that,” and the bond sizzles and snaps and Derek howls, pained and anguished, mind splintering under the pressure of his last link breaking. “I think I’ll make you mine,” the being, the creature, the monster, purrs, “As it was meant to be, as it was foretold, as it shall be, yes, yes, mine.”

And something blue, something sharp and humming and wrong, a glow he’d never noticed, descends and-

#

“I have an army.”

“We have the Hulk.”

A low laugh, ensnaring for all the wrong reasons, and-

“I have Fenrir.”

And he howls, a battle cry that sharply splits the air, a split second warning for the thunder god that dares to face him, him who shall hail the death of the nine realms and bring Odin to his feet.

He howls, for the oncoming winter of three lengths, for the brethren he knows lurks within the core of this realm, for the sister who rules all of death.

He howls in the face of the terrified human, of the sharp goatee and sharper brown eyes, in the face of all the humans that dared faced it before (flash of blonde hair, of red lips, of softly whispered words of fondness and the sharpness of a knife sticking behind his back), he shall rend them (her) flesh from flesh and-

#

“Brother-!”

“I am not your brother!”

“-What have you done?”

A low laugh, vicious and cruel yet broken, rising high until it cracks and turns to wheezes, to gasps and shuttered sobs. “Only what I was born for, brother.”

“No,” says the Thunderer, horrified realisation crossing his face. “No.”

But it is too late.

Fenrir’s wolf has awoken.

And now it hungers.

drabble - fairytale/fantasy au

i wanna work on a fantasy au for v3, sorta like the dangan fairytale au from years back, so here’s an oumota thing i wrote while i come up w/ stuff for said au. also inspired by this prompt

---

“You know, you humans really get surprised over the simplest of things.”

“S-Simple?” said Kaito. He pointed an accusatory finger at the individual on top of his desk. “You have fucking wings.”

“Uh-huh.”

“On your body.”

“No, in a closet,” deadpanned the tiny, tiny person. “Nishishi! Of course they’re on my body. It’s kinda part of the whole faerie thing.”

“Dammit, this better be some messed up dream,” mumbled Kaito.

“Life’s not that easy!” shouted the faerie, and he flew straight towards Kaito’s face in a sparkly trail of white and purple. He laughed at how Kaito flinched away. “Hah! Scared?”

“I ain’t scared of something that’s barely bigger than my pinky!”

It was only a few hours ago that Kaito had been out catching fireflies with his new friend, Shuichi. Kaito had been proud that he made the gloomy-looking boy enjoy himself for a bit. Then, a strange swarm of fireflies had surrounded Shuichi’s face; they almost flew into his ears which caused him to freak out. Kaito had driven off the fireflies and caught a few of them in a jar to take home. He never could have foreseen that a faerie boy was inside that jar, but Kaito was woken up by the sound of glass breaking and high-pitch crying. He was very lucky that his grandparents had gone to visit friends for a few days, because he’d hate to wake them up in the middle of the night with all this racket.

“You should be scared,” said the faerie while hovering near Kaito’s face. His wings were a dark purple shade. “Faeries are pretty vindictive, ya know? And you did sorta kidnap me. I’ve got enough magic in me to do something reeeeally nasty~”

“H-Hey! Sorry but it was your own damn fault! I had to help my friend!” He wouldn’t say that he was scared per se, there were other supernatural beings that were far more terrifying than a cute faerie (ghosts were just fucking awful). However, Kaito was familiar with the tales of faeries and he knew they could be nasty, little pranksters. Still, he didn’t want to sit back and take the taunting.

“Oh, right that other human who was there… Hah! Did you see when he almost swallowed a firefly? That was hilarious!”

“Tch, can you leave already? I’ll open a window and--”

“No, no, no!” insisted the faerie as he pulled on Kaito’s goatee.

“Oi! Cut it out!” He tried to catch the fairy by the wings, but in a split second he dodged and flew a safe distance away. “The hell’s your problem? Don’t you want to go home?”

“I don’t know where home is, smartass! My sense of direction got messed up while trapped in the stupid jar,” countered the faerie.

“Shit…” he cursed under his breath as he tried to find a solution. “Ok, fine, you can stay here for the night and tomorrow I’ll take you to that field.”

“Aww, thanks! Now I don’t have to use my magic to force you to do my bidding!”

“Yeah, yeah, just find a place to sleep,” he said while stifling a yawn. He’d clean up the glass shards in the morning. Right now, he just wanted to go back to sleep. He went back to his futon and crawled under the heavy fleece blanket. Shutting his eyes, he didn’t notice the faery flying towards him and glowing a brighter purple. All of a sudden, Kaito felt a heavy weight crash onto his chest.

“Ack! What the--?!”

“Nishishi~ I found a place to sleep,” giggled the faery, looking down at Kaito with mischievous purple eyes, the same shade as his wings. He had grown to a more human-size, although he was still smaller than Kaito.

“Get off!” He grabbed the faery by the waist and shoved him to the side

“Ouch! Y-You’re too rough!” He started to sob.

“Stop that. There’s a spare futon in the closet if you want it.” Kaito huffed and turned his back on the crying faery. He really hoped to wake up in the morning and find that this was all part of a crazy dream.

Paradise’s Plight Part 2

1  2  3   4

He sits out on the deck of the bungalow, his feet dangling in the crystal clear water. He smiles as birds fly high over head and a cool breeze blows over the water. The flight was smooth and they had landed a few hours ago, Joy had passed out as soon as they reached the bungalow and she’s still curled up on their bed. He wasn’t really tired and had decided to just relax while she slept. They both agreed to not take any electronics with them so their vacation wouldn’t be interrupted. And he could feel himself starting to really relax as he sat there on the deck, it’s so beautiful here there’s so much to do and they’ve got so much time to enjoy it all.

He looks back at his wife over his shoulder hearing her light snoring. He smiles more, she’ll have to wake up soon otherwise her clock will be off for the whole trip. He sighs and stands up, stretching his arms above his head. A piece of paper falls out of his pocket as he does so, and he looks at it for a moment before picking it up. Unfolding the tiny square he smiles at the writing on the page, it’s his list of activities, restaurants, and tours he has planned for them.

He looks back Joy and walks back into their bungalow. He lies the itinerary on the little coffee table, before curling up behind Joy. He wraps his arm around her middle, gently pulling her closer to him. He smiles and peppers little kisses from her collarbone up to her ear, and he runs his hand up and down her side.

She stirs a little and smiles at his soft touch, she giggles a little when he nips at her ear.

“Cassie,” she whines playfully, “I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but I am trying to sleep here.”

“I’m well aware,” he grins. “But you’ve been sleeping for a few hours now.”

“And?” She asks and opens one eye at him.

“And if you sleep any longer you’re biological clock will be off the entire trip.” He says and rests his head on her shoulder.

“You’re point being?” She smiles and closes her eye again.

“You have to wake up my dear,” he smiles. 

She whines and buries her head into her pillow. He chuckles and leans over her more so his lips ghost her ear as he speaks, sending a shiver down her spine.

“Do you or do you not want to be awake at the same time for this trip?” He grins. “If you don’t wake up we’ll never be on the same schedule.”

“Fair point and I hear what you’re saying,” she yawns before rolling onto her back and looking up at him. “But counterpoint I don’t want to leave this bed.” She runs her hands along the sheet, “It’s so comfortable.”

He chuckles, “No one said anything about leaving the bed.”

She smiles and curls into his side, “Good cause I’m not moving.”

He smiles and looks at the paper lying on the coffee table, “But you know I do have some stuff planned.”

Joy whines loudly and sits up, “No Cassie no lists.”

“But it’s good to have lists,” he smiles and gets up. He grabs the paper off of the table and sits back on the bed.

“Cassie every time we go on a trip you always have a list,” she says and hugs her knees. “We are always moving around constantly to the next thing on the list and it just feels so rushed and like you never fully relax because you’re so obsessed with moving on and being on time and blah blah blah.” She sighs and rolls her eyes.

“I won’t be like that this time,” he insists shaking his head. “I’ve got a lot of stuff planned and it’ll be fun and relaxing.”

“Really?” Joy asks seeming to perk up a little.

“Yes,” he grins as she crawls over next to him.

“Let me see,” she says and skims over the list. “Oh yeah this does look interesting.” She smiles and takes the list from his hands. “Let’s see,” she stands up and wonders around the room reading the list. “So there are mountain trails, boat tours, museums.” She nods and walks towards the deck.

“Sounds fun right?” He grins and stands up off the bed.

“Sure does,” she grins and leans against the door frame. “All organized, and scheduled, and looks like we’ll be running around the whole trip.” She smiles at him as he walks over to her.

“We’ll get to see everything,” he says proudly.

“Uh huh,” she nods and looks back at the list. She smiles a little more and steps out onto the deck, “Sure does look that wa--oops!” She says as the wind takes the list from her hands.

Castel shrieks and tries to grab the list from the air, but the paper drifts out of reach flying further away before falling into the water. His mouth hangs open in shock and he looks at Joy who just shrugs.

“Woopsie,” she says with a little smile.

He stutters and sputters trying to form a sentence but his brain can’t seem to function. So instead of words all that comes out are sounds of distress as he flairs his arms between her and the paper that lies in the water starting to fall apart.

Joy just smiles and puts her hand on his shoulder, “No lists.”

“But, but, but,” he repeats like a broken record.

“Let’s not plan anything,” she says wrapping her arms around his neck smiling up at him. “Just be spontaneous, whatever looks fun in the moment. No rush, no schedule, no planners, no lists. Alright?”

He stares at her for a moment before he sighs in defeat. He mumbles a little before wrapping his arms around her waist and smiling back at her.

“Alright,” he sighs, “no lists.”

She giggles a little and kisses him and he smiles into the kiss, picking her up into his arms. She squeaks a little in surprise, but giggles and wraps her legs around his waist as he carries her back to their bed. Neither had any intention of leaving the bed for a while.

___________

Martha sat at the table waiting for her plate to arrive. In her last divorce she had managed to win a lot of her ex-husband’s money, including his business. She had really started to take over his business just before they split and the court found in her favor--after she put on a good sob story of course.

Now she gets to travel from place to place checking in on her hotel franchise and escaping all the annoying people at her office which she liked to call the home base. Fiji, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Tahiti were her top hotel locations and she liked to pop in from time to time to check on the employees and sales and whatever excuse she could come up with to leave for a few weeks.

But frankly it’s all majorly boring, sure it was nice to get away and relax but there’s hardly anything entertaining to do...for her at least. She isn’t a tourist, she doesn’t play the whole “wow it’s like a whole other world” shtick. Needless to say these vacation spots got really dull and tasteless really fast.

And now she sits in a little restaurant waiting on this incompetent waiter, sipping on her martini. She sighs and looks around the room her patients wearing very thin for her server. It’s sometime in the late evening so the joint is hopping and full of people--tourists really. Most of them in tacky Hawaiian shirts, or sun dresses, or t-shirts, or purple dress shirts...wait a minute.

She sits up more to get a better look at the well dressed couple. They look kind of out of place with the other tourists, they aren’t over dressed but they certainly don’t look like the tacky-souvenir-wearing-generic-leaf-peepers. The man is wearing a purple dress shirt that he’s left unbuttoned at the top revealing some brown curly chest hair, black dress pants, complete with black dress shoes. Brown hair covers his face cut into a clean beard goatee and his curls look to be a little bit of a mess, but it looks like he’s styled it that way and it looks good.

The woman that is hooked on his arm wears a light white skirt and a purple top that matches his shirt. She’s got a purple butterfly clip on the side of her head mixed within her many curls and rainbow fringe sandals dawn her feet. These two definitely look out of place.

Martha leans more over the banister trying to get a better look at the two. They look so familiar! It isn’t until they both turn around to follow the waiter that she gets a full view of their faces. The woman’s face is scrunched a little as she giggles and the man smiles at her, before kisses her lips quickly. And then it hits her.

It’s Castel and Joy!

They’re here? In Tahiti? Together? She sits back as she watches the waiter seat them at a booth and she seems to remember something in a Time Magazine about their wedding. It was a few years ago yes, but she still can’t believe they got together.

Martha watches them from her spot on the upper floor for a moment longer. They both look so happy together. She scans the room to see no paparazzi, no flashes, no cameras, nothing. Castel must have kept their trip on the down low, not wanting to be bothered with pictures of their private lives being taken. She remembers when they were together, how he would go out of his way to come up with plans to avoid unwanted followers. 

Martha smiles fondly as she watches them talk and laugh. She almost married Castel, she was so close to being set for life with him. And then Joy got in the way. Martha’s smile falls and she scowls sourly at the two. Joy was always butting in, she was always getting in the way, she was the first to suspect Martha was using Castel and she’s the one that had talked some sense into him.

Sure maybe Martha had just wanted him for his money, but that’s none of Joy’s business. Martha says nothing as her waiter brings her, her meal she just waves him away. Anger boils in her as she watches the two acting like children, blowing the paper off of their straws at each other. Honestly, you’re in public grow up!

She sighs and sips her martini again as an idea rings in her head. She looks back down at the two giggling at their table, and a smile stretches onto her face. I think I found my entertainment, she thinks to herself. This trip won’t be so boring after all.

She watches them from her table as she schemes and plans. Oh yes, things just got a little bit more interesting!
