I remember
21:31, 5 September 2024In stab another monster then look up and see Peter swing across the sky, the gauntlet in his hand. Bullets rain down from Thanos' main ship and most people make a shield the best way they can. I duck under a nearby one. Suddenly a mister comes and tackles the man who was keeping the shield intact. The shield disappears and a bullet remains right next to me, exploding the ground. The force of the explosion pushes me away but I quickly web Tony who's flying in the sky. He looks to see me and then keeps going, pulling me with him, dodging bullets. I drop to the ground before Tony stops, ready to get back into the battle. Theres more explosions and bullets than ever though, and I can't spot anyone. Suddenly they all stop, and a few moments later start firing into the sky. I look up but can't tell what they're firing at. Then a bullet comes from the sky and hits Thanos' ship. The ship explodes and prices of it fall to the ground. I grin. I see Carol Danvers fly away from the ship, Pepper, and a woman on a flying horse following. I start swinging in their direction. When I get there, I see Shuri, Mantis, Nebula, Gamora, Okoye, Scott's wife and many other women. There's also Peter. I run to Peter, "you okay? You look like absolute shit." "I feel like absolute shit, but yeah, I'm okay." He smiles. I nod and turn in the direction of the many misters running towards us. Carol has the gauntlet so I stick near her, killing any monsters that come close enough. Suddenly a the ground exploded in front of Thanos, making everyone fly back. I hit the ground hard, and it knocks the breath out of me. I lay there for a moment, trying to catch my breath. The u slowly stand up again. I wipe my face, my hand comes back covered in blood. I start swinging in the direction of Thanos. When I land I don't know what to do. I see Tony on the ground, beaten and battered. Doctor Strangee barely any better. Carol sitting against a rock, holding her side. Thor and Steve are off to the side, not able to do anything. Thanos has the guantlet. I see Tony run forward and grab Thanos' hand and try to pull the gauntlet off but Thanos kicks him and pushes Tony away. "I am inevitable." Thanos states, about to snap. I run forward but it's too late, Thanos snaps.
And nothing happens. He looks at the gauntlet in confusion to see that the stones are gone. Then Thanos looks at Tony and I follow his gaze. Tony is on his knees, the stones in his gauntlet. The electricity form the stones course through his veins. "Tony! What the hell are you doing?" I ask, feeling my stomach drop. This wasn't how this was supposed to go. Tony looks at me and forces a pained smile, "it's okay. This is what needs to be done." Thanos looks shocked and I try to think of what to do. We can't loose this battle, we can't loose Peter and everyone else, but I can't loose Tony. Before I have time to figure out what I'm going to do, a monster comes form no where and tackles Tony, tearing the gauntlet off his hand. The gauntlet flies out of the monsters mouth, landing on the ground near me. I immediately grab it, following my instincts. Tony looks up and sees me, his eyes widen, he knows what I'm thinking. "No! Ashlyn, no. I- I was going to... just give the gauntlet." Tony says, sitting up again. I shake my head, "no, everything doesn't have to be- it's not all your fault, it's not always you that have to sacrifice themselves." I put the gauntlet on, immediately feeling the power seep through me. It feels like my arm is on fire. As the electric reaches my chest, it heat hard to breath and I just want to collapse. But I don't. I stay standing. "You won't do it. You're young, you have a whole life ahead of you." Thanos states, as if daring me to do it. I think back to my life before Hydra, the normal life I longed for so often. Then I think back to Abaddon Davis. The boy that tried to save my life but it ended up costing him his. I remember Abaddon's smile, and comforting words, I remember the love I felt for him. I remember being sent to murder the Avengers, but then being saved by them. I remember falling in love with Peter, and meeting Trice. I remember being betrayed by her. I remember meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy, and fighting Thanos for the first time. I remember Peter dissolving in front of my eyes, and being stuck in a ship with Tony and Nebula for days. I remember Tony being full of anger after Peter's death, like me. I remember jumping off a bridge just for Rhodey to save me, I remember starving myself. Then I remember figuring out there might be a way to get Peter back, a plan. And now we're here. I've lived my life. It's not the one I wanted but I did it. I felll in love, made friends, made enemies, got my heart broken and stitched back together. Maybe this was my purpose all along. It sure feels like it. Like the climax of a movie. Like the end of someone's life. I take a deep breath, "I'm sorry Tony."
Then I snap.
