That's all Natasha can hear in the distance. She knows that its Thor by his identifiable Asguardian accent. The blonde is surrounded by rock. Rock of all things. Thanos couldn't have just thrown her around like everyone else? Natasha thought. She was stuck, Trying to break free from the rock prison Thanos had created around her, she pounds at the rock, slowly chipping away, almost getting herself out.
But after a minute or two everything goes silent. Just like when Thanos arrived. Like the world had sensed he was coming and made its self silent. It was happening again.
"Thor? What happened?"
The captain rushed over to his friend, holding his side from thanos's blow. The purple titan just disappeared right in front of them, he must have used the stones. But before thor could answer, there was a familiar voice behind him.
"Steve?"
Its Bucky, his oldest friend. His brother. Steve whipped his head around at the sound of buck but right before his eyes, before he can even respond, he turns to ashes.
Crumbling to dust right in front of his eyes. The bearded man stumbles as he makes his way over to where bucky was standing, his knees almost give out underneath him as he kneels down. His hand falls from his side and touched the ground. But there's nothing there except grass and leaves. Not even ash or dust. No evidence that his friend was even there. Both steves and his allies and friends mouth gasp as they watch the fall of one of their own.
"What's happening?" Steve eyes look up from the ground. Searching for answers from his friends. But no one can speak. As they watch the horror in front of them. Then the gods voice rises to talk.
"He snapped his fingers." Thor replies, his voice deep in realisation of what's just happened. The god can't help but feel immediate guilt. Thanos's words haunting him already. He should have gone for the head.
The ones that are near them look on across the battlefield that is wakanda to see half their friends and allies turn to dust. As steve watched the battlefield from his knees he realises that someone's missing. Natasha. He can't see her anywhere.
As she reaches up above her, Natasha finally pulls herself out of the rock cage Thanos had trapped her in. As she stands up she whips her head around fast, trying to find any of her friends. But it isn't her friends she sees first. It's the wakandan warriors on the battlefield. But as she watches she soon realises somethings wrong. The warriors. They Are disappearing? Right in front of her. The blondes eyes widen at what she's seeing and gasps, she needs to find her friends. She needs to find steve. Running through the sparse forest Natasha slows when she sees the raccoon Thor arrived with earlier. The small animal is in despair as he watches his friend, the tree disappear in his arms. This isn't happening. It can't be. The former redhead thinks.
"Oh my god." She barely whispers.
Whipping her head back around the spy runs as fast as she can to find her soldier. She needs to make sure he's okay. He has to be.
As she runs to find her friends, she rounds the corner of bushes and trees. She can vaguely see colours of navy, red and black in between the leaves against the green. She knows those colours to be her friends. Once she rushes around the bush she sees the people she knows, but they're all surrounding something. As she runs closer she sees what it is. Or who it is.
Its Vision.
Thanos killed him, he took the stone right from his head. The blonde slows down once she approaches and gulps at the sight of visions body.
As he worries where she is, The soldier soon hears her running behind him. Whipping his head around so fast he almost hurts his neck, steve jumps up from kneeling down and grabs her by her arms, pulling his spy close to him. She gladly lets him pull her closer, wanting to feel him to make sure he was still there, that he had not disappeared too.
But then something feels wrong. Pulling away slightly from his grip on her, she looks up at Steve. Almost a foot taller than her, His eyes are wide, as if he knows what's about to happen. Confused she narrows her eyes at him, her mouth opening slightly to ask what was wrong. But then all of a sudden his tight grip on her body falters, as if he was never even touching her. Tearing her gaze away from his blue eyes, she looks down at his hand only to find it wasnt there. There were only bits of dust and ash where it had been. With her eyes widening her head shoots back up to steve in horror.
"No, no no, please steve no." she begs him. He's disappearing just like the rest of the warriors and friends, right in her arms.
"Nat. im sorry. I love you." it's the last thing he manages to say before he's taken from her. Before he disintegrated into ash as she held him.
Staring in front of her in shock. Her eyes look at nothing in particular as she pants in grief at what just happened.
He's gone.
Everyone around her watched in shock and guilt. Not being able to do anything to save him or help them. They can barely even move as they watch the rest of the people around them turn to ash. They just lost Steve. They lost their Captain. Their friend.
Tears run down the russians face as she freezes in her place. After a few seconds her knees give out and she falls to the floor. Clutching at her chest she lets her tears fall for her love, quiet sobs escaping her breath.
Not knowing how to react, everyone remains stood still. They're just stood there. Not knowing what to do with themselves, not knowing how to comfort each other, listening to the small cries of Natasha and panic from everyone else around them.
Everyone had just lost half of their friends, their family, Natasha lost her best friends. The man she loved.
