PARADOX

I really didn't fancy the idea of going upon my friends and the person I still loved. During the car ride, I thought it was a good idea to write Tony a note. My heart pounded against my rib cage. I knew everyone wasn't going to be as they were yesterday. Surely this fight will end with a couple scars to remember by.

"(Y/N), c'mon. We need to hurry." Bucky said as he got out of the car. We were at the airport, ready to leave. We walked to about the center of the plane parking and Tony flew in. He stood upon up telling us to turn ourselves in.

"Tony, please. We don't need to do this." I spoke as Black Widow, Vision, and Rhodey stood beside him. I guess 'Black Panther' joined Tony's team as well. A few moments later, a kid in red snatched Cap's shield away from him.

"Hey, everybody," he said as he ended his superhero landing.

"Seriously, Tony how old is he?" I asked with my hands on my hips.

"Doesn't matter. He signed up for it."

Next minute later, I was fighting with Spidey. He was really strong for a kid. Hopefully, that meant his injuries would heal fast. Also, he was quite the talker. Bucky threw a punch with his left arm and Spidey caught it perfectly.

"You have a metal arm?! That is so cool!" the kid said before attacking. Bucky fell on his bottom and I laughed at him.

"Aww c'mon Bucky! You can hit everyone else but you can't hit him?!" I grabbed Spider-man's wrists and my thumbs pulverized his web shooters.

"Come on!" he groaned as he threw me across the room. I got back up as fast as possible and ran back. I yanked him down from the ceiling and flung his body down into the ground. 'Is this too harsh?' "Mr. Stark, I think I need a time out."

I peered out into the open and saw Cap and Bucky running to the jet. Black Panther was on their tail and I quickly ran to them. I was tired, I'm not lying, I could use a nap.

Quicksilver quickly snatched me off my tired feet and brought me closer to where Cap was. I thanked him as he sped off to help his sister. By the time I made it to them they were already taking off.

"Falcon! I need a lift!" I screamed as I ran to him. Sam swooped down and I grabbed his arm. When I gazed behind us, Iron Man was closing the gap. I looked further down and saw Vision aiming at the jet. My mind was jumbled with choices to make. My eyes met sam's and said, "Let me go!"

"You'll die if I do!" he shouted back.

"If I don't make it--"

"Don't you even say it!"

"Sam..."

"Remember! You said it!" I smiled at him for one last time and my fingers lost its touch with his arm. I felt the wind jet through my limbs. My hair was all over my face and was blocking my view. My plan was for Tony to catch me and have him stalled. But when I turned around to see Vision ready to shoot a beam from the mind stone, It was coming at Rhodey. My heart raced as I thought of Tony losing his best friend. I already saw what's it's like to loose a friend and Rhodey wasn't going to be the one to get hit. I tried swimming through the sky, reaching to push him away. My powerful blow pushed him afar and my eyes caught sight of Tony's suit.

"(Y/N)!!!" a voice yelled.

My body became numb and my eyes were clouded. Sounds from all around me were muffled and unheard. I saw great blurry objects trailing after me as I descended through the sky. Which I assumed was everyone flying down to retrieve me. I saw the smudge of the jet fly beyond at top speed. All I wished for right now was: To stop Hydra once and for all and maybe even save those who have been brainwashed. To help Bucky regain his precious memories. To see Steve smile for real. To see Clint's family. To see Natasha be happy. To hear the sound of Hulk's roar again. And to feel Tony's embrace once more.

I locked my eyelids shut and I smiled from ear to ear. The smell of dirt came closer as I kept on falling. Comprehending I was going to crash the earth anytime now, I lunged into my pocket and let the note flutter out of my fingers.

A moment came by and my body crashed onto the grass. A ripple of gravity swept everyone away and my eyes spontaneously opened to see everyone the floor. My palm elevated from my side and was coated in blood. My vision was still shaded, but I could notice Tony racing up to me without his suit. He held me in his arms and began sobbing lightly.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry! Please don't leave me! (Y/N)!" He cried into my hair. I could still hear him, I wanted to embrace him too but my body just didn't listen. My breathing began to hush and my eyelids gradually closed. His embrace became stronger and his tear drops soaked my cheeks.

'Tony...'
