The Avengers Aftermath

Tony P.o.v

I've been searching for a way get off this horrible planet. It's the only way I can concentrate and not think about the fact that I failed the universe but most of all I failed the kid. I failed everybody it seems. Thanos won, he made half of everybody fade from existence. What the hell was Strange thinking? As a matter of fact, What the hell was Quill thinking? I know I've let my anger get the best of me before multiple times but he couldn't have a waited a few more minutes before we got the gauntlet off. It doesn't matter now. I gotta get off this rock and the only help I have is some blue deranged looking alien lady that mostly cyborg. She said her name was Nebula and Thanos killed her sister.

I managed to find the ship that Quill and his friends left had arrived in. It was just a matter of turning it on. I signaled Nebula to come over. She knew what it was. To my surprise Nebula turned the ship on easily and we were flying in the air.

I sat down on the chair nearby and Nebula asked me, "Where are the rest of your friends".

I told her it was Earth and nodded in acceptance and replied, "Then that's where we're going".

I was perfectly fine with that idea. I'm going to regroup with Cap and the surviving Avengers. I should've listened to Bruce and called Steve earlier. I need to reunite with them and pay for my mistakes. God I hope Pepper didn't turn to ash! I need to get back to Earth now!


Steve P.o.v

I couldn't believe it! We lost. After all the battles we won even after the mess with the Sokovia Accords, I believed we could still make it and do some good in the end but I was wrong. We lost half of everyone. Natasha, Bruce, Rhodey, Okoye, Thor,the talking raccoon who calls himself Rocket were still here. Wanda's gone and Vision is dead. The talking tree I met earlier that call himself Groot was gone as well. Shuri (King T'Challa's genius sister) was still alive but she looks truly broken. I don't blame her. I don't even know about everyone else that turn to dust. Sam's gone and Bucky...Buck's gone. Thor is beating himself up over what happened. He's not the only one. Natasha's been trying to contact Fury and Hill but she's getting voicemail. We have to assume they were turned to dust as well. I don't know where Tony is since I him went into outer space on the news. This takes me back to when Tony and I were arguing about Ultron:

Tony continued, "We're the Avengers, we can bust up gang bangers the live long day but up there that's the endgame. How were you guys on beating that?".

Steve replied, "Together".

Tony was troubled by that and replied, "We'll lose".

Steve replied back, "Then we'll do that together too".

I now understand Tony's worries all the way back then. Only one thing though, we weren't together this time. We were split apart this time. Clint's probably turned to dust by now. I tried calling Hill's number that Natasha gave me. Damn it! I guess she and Fury were dusted as well. Natasha must be heartbroken. I remember what she looked like when we thought the Winter Soldier killed him. I heard Bruce come over. I still don't fully understand his problem with the green guy.

Bruce says, "Hey Steve, Nat got word from Stark. He said he tried to take a shot at Thanos but it didn't work. You want me to tell where we are"? Sounds just like Tony, taking the fight head on without thinking.

I replied, "Send him the coordinates to Wakanda and let T'Challa's mother know who's coming". Bruce nodded and headed on back to deliver the news.

I walked over to Nat as she hung up the phone. She looked as tired as I am.

I asked her, "How's Stark"?

She snorted and replied, "What do you think? He's battered and filled with witty remarks. Besides that though, He sounds broken Steve. Half of his team disappeared. Said he's with a robot alien lady called Nebula. Said she was enslaved by Thanos".

I heard a loud shout nearby going off, "Wait, NEBULA? Nebula was with this guy on Titan fighting Thanos and is coming here? Who is this guy with? Anyone named Quill".

I turned around while he was firing off questions and recognized him as Rocket: Thor's talking raccoon that loves guns who for some reason does not want to be called a raccoon.

Natasha replied, "No, just a cybernetic girl called Nebula. There's no one else. Who's Nebula".

Rocket turned wide and had a look on his face I knew all too well. It's the look I had when I found out Sam and Bucky had died.

Rocket stuttered, "She...Nebula was raised by Thanos but she hated every fiber of his being like literally. Enslaved by him is one word for it. Most of her is cybernetics. She said she was going to kill Thanos but I wasn't sure she was that crazy. Are you sure there was no...no one else on the line".

I couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the talking raccoon. He just lost the talking humanoid tree called Groot.

Natasha replied, "There's no one else coming on the ship. I'm sorry for your loss".

Rocket looked like he was ready to cry so I stepped in and asked Nat, "Fury and Hill are both silent. Natasha, did you know anyone else in Shield? They might still be around. What about Agent May"?

Natasha looked at me and replied, "Melinda? Last I heard, she was dealing with powered people that called themselves Inhumans and the Sokovia Accords".

I replied, "If she's still alive and still with Shield then maybe she knows something that Fury knew. Try and contact her".

I remember when I first met Agent Melinda May. When I met her, she was an old friend of my old deceased friend: Agent Phil Coulson. That man was such a big believer in us. We have truly let him down. Agent May was quiet and stoic even more then Nat was from what I've known of her. Natasha nodded and got out her cell phone and tried to contact her. Besides Maria Hill, Agent May was the only other agent of Shield that knew Fury personally. Until Stark arrives so that we can question Nebula about Thanos, she might be the only one that knows any secret that Fury had.


Melinda P.o.v

In all my years working at Shield fighting nightmares normal people could only dream of. Even after knowing I was going to lose Phil a second time. I never expected this. I never expected Phil to disintegrate while I helplessly watch him turn to ash before my eyes. I frantically went to my phone to call Daisy. I'm not losing her! The world's not taking her from me! She's all I have left now. I got her! I tried to tell her what happened but I got cut off before I she could say anything. Suddenly, I see a projectile coming towards me. I rolled out of the way and realized that it wasn't a projectile.

It was a blonde woman clad in blue and red armor with a star in the center. What the hell?

She looked at me in the eye and asked me, "Where is he"?

I remained calm and replied, "Who's he and who the hell are you".

The woman looked puzzled like she didn't understand how I didn't know.

She asked me, "Where is Phil Coulson"?

And there's the lump in my throat again every time I hear Phil's name. How does she know Phil?

I looked her in the eye and replied, "Phil Coulson's dead. Stab in the heart by Loki of Asgard".

The woman turned angry and I knew she knew I was lying. Shit! The lady edged towards me.

The woman replied, "Don't play games with me Agent May! I know Nick Fury brought him back with Kree DNA. NOW WHERE IS HE"!

I was so pissed off I yelled back, "HE's DEAD! HE"S GONE! He disintegrated before my eyes just now".

The girl backed up, shocked beyond belief. She looked lost for a moment.

I continued with fury in my eyes, "Now tell me again, Who the hell are you and how do you know Phil Coulson"!

She took a deep breath and replied, "I'm Carol Danvers. I was found by Nick Fury and Phil Coulson many years ago when I fell to Earth and helped them stop a war between the Kree and the Skrull. He said if there was problem that required my help then he paged me his location but I never found him so I searched the world for Phil Coulson and here we are".

What the hell is going on here? Why didn't Phil ever say anything? Maybe he didn't remember because of Project Tahiti. So Fury got dusted as well huh? I hoped the team was spared from this.

I took a deep breath and replied, "Coulson never told me about you Carol. Who the hell are Skrulls"?

Carol cursed and replied, "I told Fury to shut down Project Tahiti. Using Kree blood on humans is too much for the human mind".

I asked her, "So you're the reason we found the dead Kree at the Tahiti facility".

Carol confirmed my thought and replied, "Yes, it was dead but I hoped it was just for study. Coulson must have lost his memory when he came back to life. Skrulls were alien refugees that were being hunted by the Kree. I had to leave Earth to find them a new home to live. Fury told me how he was putting together a team of gifted people to protect Earth for the humans".

I smiled at the memory of Coulson wanting to recruit for the Initiative.

I replied, "Yes, The Avengers Initiative. Project Tahiti was designed to revive a deceased Avenger. Fury considered Coulson one of the Avengers. Carol, What exactly are you"?

Carol took a deep breath and replied, "I used to be an air force pilot. I was in an accident where I was exposed to an alien jet engine that gave me my powers. It was Kree technology. I joined up with Fury and Coulson to stop a Kree invasion years ago in the 90's. Ever since then, After I stopped the Kree, I knew that the Skrulls would need a new home to survive so I went with them and said goodbye to Fury. Since I knew about The Avengers Initiative, The Earth would be protected but just in case he needed my help, I gave Fury a pager to message me his location for help. That was hours ago Agent May and it seems both Coulson and Fury are gone. I need your help".

Well her arrival is definitely no mistake. Project Tahiti must have taken away Coulson's memory of Ms. Danvers and of the Skrulls. I was about to say something but a ship was moving towards the island. Carol was getting ready for battle. I instantly recognized the craft. Is Daisy okay? I didn't know what Carol was capable of but I had to stop her.

I grabbed her hand and replied, "Wait Danvers don't! It's Shield"! Carol took a moment and relented.

The ship landed and the bay doors opened and I saw Daisy. I've never been more happy to see her alive. Tears were in my eyes and were both rushed to hug each other. We separated and Daisy saw Carol.

Daisy took a deep breath and asked me, "May, you have no idea how glad I am to see you but who the hell is this".

I smiled at Daisy's wit. It survived along with everything Phil and I loved about her even after everything she's been through.

I was going to answer her question but Daisy pointed at her and asked, "Wait, are you Carol Danvers"?

Carol, with shock on her face replied, "Yes, who are you and how do you know my name".

How did Daisy knew her name but I didn't. We looked at each other and I replied, "Looks like we got a lot to talk about".

Authors note: Sorry I took so long. It took awhile for me to capture these characters personalities. I had just seen Captain Marvel and I actually really liked it (especially all the Agents of Shield nods). I'm thinking of going to Scott and Clint next. From what I hear, the Quantum realm will be important in upcoming movie. Bruce will be a hard one to do given his weird struggle with Hulk now. Daisy will be a very vital character in this story. It'll be awhile before I go to the dusted characters. Let me know what you think of it.
