I am Iron Man
Kat glanced over at Loki and he nodded at her. She shot her magic out at Thanos, trapping his arms behind him. The others took turns hitting him while she tried to hold him down. He was too strong for her though and managed to break free, throwing her against some rocks. Her head was ringing as she stood, aiming at him again.
He blocked her magic and threw her down on the ground again. “This is really annoying.” She groaned, getting back up. She flew up in the air next to Tony and they took turns blasting him, which wasn’t doing a damn thing. He was too strong. Steve, Thor and Loki were on the ground, and they weren’t doing much better.
“Tony we’re not going to make a dent! He’s too strong.”
Tony landed on the ground and Thor threw lightening at the back of his suit, causing several beams of light to get thrown at Thanos. Thor threw the hammer and knocked Thanos over, who had Tony in his hands. She watched as Tony skidded to a stop on some rocks and she landed, running over to him.
“Tony get up.” She said worriedly. She tried to get Tony up, watching as Thanos took down Steve, Loki and then Thor. They were losing. Again. Thanos stood over Thor, Stormbreaker in his hand, trying to push it into Thor’s chest.
She watched as Mjolnir whacked Thanos in the back of the head and return to Steve’s hand. Her eyes watered and she had never felt more proud of anyone.
“I knew it.” Thor said excitedly. Thanos turned at walked toward Steve, and Steve began to run, spinning Mjolnir, knocking Thanos up in the air. Between the shield and the hammer, Steve was doing a number on Thanos.
Kat looked around to find Loki and Thor staggering back up, and Tony was coming back around. Thanos knocked Steve to the ground, slamming his sword down on the shield, cracking it. He kept hitting the shield, and Kat stumbled to her feet, the pain n her shoulder from where she the concrete almost blinding.
She threw a blast out to Thanos, knocking him down to one knee, but he got back up and threw Kat across the ground, causing her to hit her head. She put a hand up to find blood trickling down her face. A few seconds later, Steve landed on the ground next to her.
She crawled to him and rolled him over. “Steve, come on, we have to get up.”
Steve sat up and rested his forehead against hers. There were tears streaming down her face, they were all so tired, but they couldn’t give up. Steve nodded and stood, helping her up. A beam of light came down and an army appeared on the field. There were too many of them. Steve squeezed Kat’s hand and looked down at her.
“I love you Katherine.”
“I love you too Steve.”
They stood to face Thanos when Kat head a crackling in her comms.
“Hey, Cap, do you read me?”
Kat’s head snapped to Steve and he looked just as shocked as she was.
“Cap, it’s Sam. Can you hear me?”
It couldn’t be. Had it worked? Had they brought everyone back?
“On your left.”
Kat let out a strangled cry when a portal opened up and she saw T’Challa, Shuri and Okoye walk through. Her hand shot out and grabbed Steve’s arm. Tears rolled down Steve’s face when Sam flew out of the portal, and then there were dozens of portals opening everywhere.
Kat would have fallen to the ground if Steve hadn’t been holding on to her when Peter swung through. The rest of the Wakandan Army came through as T’Challa chanted and Steve let out a whimper when Bucky walked through.
Wanda landed and Kat watched Tony’s as Pepper landed in her Rescue suit. Everyone formed a line next to Kat and Steve. This was it. They could do this, they could win.
Steve locked eyes with Bucky, who nodded and smirked at him, then looked down at Kat, giving her the same smirk. Kat glanced at Loki on her right and he winked at her.
“Avengers!” Steve yelled out. “Assemble.”
Kat flew up into the air, blasting a group of Thanos’ men, Wanda next to her. They gave each other a smile and took out one of the ships, causing it to crash into the ground, right into more of Thanos’ men.
“Very nice.” Wanda commented,
“I thought so too.” Kat told her. She watched as Valkyrie flew by, taking out another one of the ships. She landed and saw Peter coming right at her. He stopped in front of her and she wasted no time in throwing her arms around him.
“I thought I’d never see you again kid. I missed you.” She cried against his shoulder. He hugged her back, nodding his head.
“I know. It was so weird. But I’m here, and I’m okay. Have you seen Mr. Stark?” He asked. Kat shook her head, after she ran to help Steve, she hadn’t seen him get up.
He ran off and she turned to see Nat running through the field with the nanotech gauntlet. She ran beside her, thankful that she had made it.
“I was wondering where you were.” She told her. Nat laughed.
“Well, it did take a second to get out from under the building that exploded on top of me but hey, I made it.” Kat laughed as Nat asked what they should do with the gauntlet.
“You have to get the stones as far away as possible!” Steve yelled.
“No.” Bruce told them. “The have to get back to where they came from.”
“No way to do that. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel.” Tony added.
“Hold on, that wasn’t our only time machine.” Scott said. There was a God-awful tune coming from somewhere on the field, and Kat and Nat shared a confused look.
“Anyone see an ugly brown van out there?” Steve asked.
“Yes, but you’re not going to like where it’s parked.” Valkyrie replied.
Kat took off after Nat in the direction of the van. They got surrounded and Thanos’ men were closing in on them. Suddenly T’Challa jumped in front of them, sending a bunch of the enemies to the ground.
“Nat, give it to me.” Nat nodded, handing the gauntlet over to him. He took off, getting through quickly, his suit taking all the hits with ease.
Kat and Nat went back to it but stopped when the ships took aim at them. Kat and Nat bobbed and weaved through the beams, trying to not get hit. They weren’t fast enough and were blasted to the ground, and Kat threw up her arms to protect herself from falling rocks.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped, but relaxed when she saw that it was Bucky. She took his hand and stood, helping Nat up too,
“Hey, Bucky, good to see you again.” She let out, putting her hands on her hips, trying to catch her breath. Bucky nodded and smiled and they all looked up when the ships stopped shooting at them, turning their guns to the sky.
“Friday, what are they firing at?” Tony asked.
“Something just entered the upper atmosphere.”
Something tore through the ship, bringing it crashing to the ground. Kat looked up to see that it was Carol Danvers. She landed not far from them and Kat ran over to where she was standing over Peter.
“Hey Peter Parker, you got something for me?” Carol asked. Peter stood, looking around.
“I don’t know how you’re gonna get through all that.” He told her, handing over the gauntlet.
Wanda and Valkyrie landed next to her and Kat turned to see Pepper, Shuri, Okoye and every other female fighter they had.
“Don’t worry.” Wanda told her.
Okoye spoke next. “She’s got help.”
They crowded around Carol and took off toward the van. They had almost made it when Thanos threw his sword into the van, making it explode.
“No.” Kat whispered. That was their only way. She pulled herself up and looked around at the chaos. She watched Tony go for the gauntlet at the same time as Thanos. He threw Tony off, Thor and Steve as well and Kat tried to hold him down with her magic after he got the glove back on while Carol tried to get it off. Thanos threw her off and turned on Kat, grabbing her by the throat and throwing her to the ground.
Kat started coughing as she watched Tony go for the gauntlet. Thanos threw him down and looked at the gauntlet, snapping his fingers. Nothing happened. Kat’s eyes traveled to Tony, and she watched in horror as the stones slid into the spots on his hand. The power surged through his body and she knew he couldn’t handle it.
“Tony no!” She screamed.
“I am Iron Man.” Tony said before he snapped his fingers.
