Diana stood at the door leading to the room Carol was getting dressed in. She was still trying to process everything Carol had told her. Steppenwolf needed three boxes to bring back his world, and this.. Thanos needed six stones and an infinity gauntlet to wipe out half of the universe, which he had already done. She felt these two were similar, and from the way it sounded, it seemed like either the heroes of Carol's universe were not strong enough, or Thanos was just too powerful.
"Okay, I'm ready" Carol's voice knocked Diana out of her thoughts and she took in her looks when she walked through the door. Carol wore a red T shirt on a black pair of leggings and red sneakers. " Where is everyone?"
Diana smiled..." Follow me"
.
.
.
.
Diana and Carol walked down the hallway towards the room where the team was assembled. Carol was the confident type and didn't feel scared or tensed. She just felt, angry and sad, and was really hoping someone in the room they were headed would piss her off, just so she could let off some steam.
" Is Steppenwolf there?" Diana asked the Cyborg Carol saw earlier as it seemed he was trying to locate someone on a hologram.
" Who's Steppenwolf?" Carol asked as everyone in the room turned to look at her.
" Ahh, you're awake, at last" Arthur, the man with the Triton was the first to speak to her causing her to narrow her eyes " you know you looked cute while you were unconscious"
" Arthur, please" Diana said as Arthur chuckled.
" Everyone, this is Carol Danvers. She's.. from another universe" Diana said as everyone looked at her and Carol in disbelief.
" Excuse me?" Victor asked , bringing down the hologram in order to have a clear view of Carol.
" That's... Impossible." The man that was in the bat costume , who was no longer wearing his bat mask , said.
" It's true" Diana responded.
" How do you know that?" Arthur asked
" The energy around her is.. different, different from what I've ever felt" Diana said confidently.
" Oh come on Diana, just because she's..." Arthur said before he was cut off.
" She's right. " Victor said as he scanned her " the energy around her is... Foreign." Victor looked at the Batman who was lost in thought..
" It still doesn't explain what she wants" the Batman said and stepped closer to her " ...or how she got here"
" It was an acc..." Diana was about to speak before Carol held her hand up, signalling she could speak for herself.
Carol walked away from the team and got far enough she could see all of them...
... Then she spoke
" I never asked to come here. I never wanted to. I have a world to save, and just because I wanted to do it alone and take on a mad titan all by myself, he kicked my ass and I got sent here."
Carol was calm and steady in her tone until
" Yeah, like you wanted to take on Superman." Arthur said chuckling... " Trust me, Superman would've squashed you into pieces, if not for the interference of his girlfriend"
Carol was pissed
" You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. And from that little time I fought him, I realized he isn't even that strong anyway" Carol said folding her hands.
" Uuuh, but he beat you, and every one of us" the kid in the red costume said in confusion. Carol turned and faced him
" Yeah, he beat me.. he beat me because I just travelled from one dimension to another not in a machine or a ship, but with my bare skin and clothes, and my head was pounding because of it." Carol looked at Arthur " You couldn't even land a hit on him"
" Oh really? How many did you land?" Arthur asked slowly getting annoyed too.
" Bout five or six" Carol grinned " bet I could land more than fifty or sixty on you"
" Oh you really think so?" Arthur jumped down from the huge box he was sitting on and approached Carol " Cuz im always in for a challenge" Arthur said almost too close to Carol, who's fists glowed in response, which Diana noticed and immediately had to bring this to an end
" Guys, should we really be doing this, now?!" Diana said standing in between the two pissed off Superheroes.
" Arthur stop, she was saying something." The batman said
" Thought I was the only one who thought he was annoying" Victor said.
" Carol hadn't finished explaining who she was. So please Arthur, calm down." Diana pleaded
Arthur looked at Carol and smiled then backed away.
" Women just know how to get under your skin" he said as he leaped back on the box. Diana turned to Carol
" Sorry about that, he's just.."
" No you don't have to apologize for him. He attacked me, not you" she looked back up at the team.
" My name is Carol Danvers. My universe lost fifty percent of all its life in one day thanks to a mad titan by name Thanos. He felt the universe wasn't balanced and decided that half the life be swept away in order to obtain balance"
" Your universe had no defenders?" The kid asked " cuz from what I know, where there's a villain there's always a superhero"
" They failed." Carol said bluntly and looked down " just like I did"
" You were one of them?" Victor asked
" No" Carol said " I just met them yesterday and I didn't wanna work with them and went after Thanos alone."
" Why? Why would you do that?" Arthur asked
" Because I was pissed, and I wasn't thinking straight"
" How did he even do it? " The kid asked again " you know like.. how did he wipe out half of all life in your universe?"
" Ha snapped his fingers" Carol said as all the heroes stood there in shock except for Diana.
" What?" Victor asked.
" He used a gauntlet which could contain six items called infinity stones. Only beings of great strength could contain the power of all six and not get consumed."
" So lemme guess" the batman said " the being's snap took someone you cared about, and you went there in anger, to kill him alone... And then after kicking your ass, he used the same gauntlet to send you here?"
" You're pretty smart" Carol said with a small smile.
" So that explains why I've never seen nor heard about you in this world." Arthur said in shock " you're from another"
Carol nodded.
" This... This is crazy!" Arthur laughed
" I found him." Victor said making everyone turn to him
" Found who?Superman?" Carol asked a bit confused
" Steppenwolf, the destroyer of worlds." Diana answered as she walked towards Cyborg. " Where is he?"
"BUTZZATZRREFTBHNMBOFFFF.." Cyborg's words came out very unclear due to the hologram in his face." Sorry. Bizarenoff, somewhere in Russia." Cyborg said
" The nuclear plant, they had a meltdown thirty years ago" batman said.
" Yeah but there have been some attempts to resettle nearby" the kid said as he looked at a computer " Who picks this place to put down roots?"
"Anyone wanna explain to me what's going on?" Carol said " and what this man really wants?"
" Steppenwolf is an ancient being. He was trapped in a dimension that could only be unlocked by the motherboxes. Somehow he escaped and wants to use the three boxes to recreate his home world on this earth, therefore bringing forth the Armageddon" Diana told Carol.
" Then we gotta stop him" Carol replied
" Something tells me we're gonna need Clark." Batman said
" Superman right?" Carol said
" Yeah" Batman answered a little shocked " How'd you know that?"
" Heard you call his name during the fight in the city" Carol smiled " guess you're not the only one who's smart around here"
Batman smiled back " Maybe."
Diana saw them both getting along and was really glad they did, but they had to get to Steppenwolf fast.
" But how are we even going to get Clark?" She asked
" I could find him" Carol said "I just need my uniform"
" Really? Who do you think you are, cheetah or something?" Arthur laughed while brandishing his Triton
Carol looked at him and smiled " no... I'm Captain Marvel, and I need my uniform"
Everyone was a little surprised by the superhero name
" Captain Marvel? Really?" Arthur laughed
" Arthur please, could you just stop" Diana said
Carol smiled and turned around " you guys go get Steppenwolf" she said as she walked back towards the hallway she and Diana came from " oh and which room is my suit in?"
" Fourth room on your left" The Batman answered. " What would you do if we all go after Steppenwolf without you?"
She paused then turned slightly towards them...
" You said you'll need Superman right?"
Everyone nodded slightly
"Well I'm gonna get him"

" I can't believe you guys brought a shapeshifter along! What if that's not his real form and he's with Thanos?!" Rocket yelled
" Relax rabbit, Thanos has accomplished his mission and will have no reason to kill us, neither will he send a mercenary to do it " Thor said.
" Oh there he is" The man in a huge red and yellow metal suit said as the whole team saw Jetray flying towards the ship.
" Well, no army, no ships, no weapons... Maybe just the gauntlet I suppose... it's just him" Jetray said.
" And that's enough" Nebula responded.
.

The ship entered the airspace as Jetray flew close behind. When they got close enough, Jetray spotted a huge purple figure wearing a worn out brown t-shirt entering a small house carrying a small sack.
" Is... Is that ..." Jetray was shocked at the weak appearance of the Titan
" He looks so .. weak" the man in the red and yellow metal suit said confused."
" Okay" Cap said " here's the plan"
.
.
.
.

Thanos had just finished plucking another set of fruits from his farm on the garden after Carol spilled the first one. He took the sack with the fruits and struggled up the stairs into his small house. He thought about what he had just done. He sent Carol to another universe, and it felt like just another hero trying to attack him and getting her butt kicked. Being able to survive the assault from all those heroes who tried to stop him was an incredible feat. He chopped some fruits into a pot and took them towards a fire he had set. He had huge burns on his left arm that had the infinity gauntlet, leaving a reminder of his battle across the galaxy in order to balance it...
... Then he heard something...
...like a jet fast approaching from above. He looked up and then..
..PZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT...
A powerful beam of different colours almost him him if not for the fact that he blocked the beam with the infinity gauntlet. The beam was too powerful and sent him back and the impact spilled the food.
' not again' he thought before a figure hit him square in the nose at the speed of sound
"ARRRGH!" He yelled in pain as his nose broke. He looked around for the figure but didn't see him.
" I expected you to be tougher" a voice said from above but before he could look up, the figure landed on his neck and held him in a sleeper hold/ strangle position. The figure had one eye, a pink diamond horn on its head and dark purple rock like skin and a green hourglass symbol on it's chest. It then used one leg to hold the infinity gauntled arm out, just before the man in the red and yellow metal suit came from underground and held the arm out, stretching it to it's limit. Then, another armoured hero came through the wall on Thanos's right and held the right arm. Thanos had nowhere to go.
" Not so tough now huh big guy?" The purple figure strangling him said. Then in a split second, Thor came flying through the wall behind Thanos and in a swift swing cut off Thanos's left arm that had the infinity gauntlet.
" AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAH!" Thanos yelled in agony.
" Holy shit!" The purple rock man yelled " that's a whole lot grosser than I thought it would be". The rest of the team consisting of Nat, Cap , Rocket and Nebula walked in. Rocket held the gauntleted and disemboweled arm and turned it over to retrieve the stones but...
... The stones were gone.
" Oh no.." Rocket said
Cap looked at the empty gauntlet, then looked at Thanos, " Where are they?"
The purple rock man strangling Thanos strangled tighter and whispered " Answer the question"
Thanos grunted a little then said
" After my work was done, the stones served no purpose, just utter temptation. The universe was in distress. It needed correction"
"YOU MURDER TRILLIONS" The man in the huge red and yellow metal suit yelled in anger and pushed Thanos with enough force to knock him to the ground as the purple rock man jumped off his head.
" You should be grateful" Thanos said just before the same armoured man punched him square across the face.
" Where are the stones Thanos?" Nat managed to creak out as tears were already gathering in her eyes.
" Gone. Reduced to ashes." He replied
" You used them two days ago" The same armoured man said confused.
" I used the stones to destroy the stones, but not before I dealt with your Kree fire beam shooting friend" Thanos said smiling a little.
All the Avengers looked horrified..
" And who exactly would that be?" The rock man asked
" Carol..." Cap said in horror.
" What did you do to her?!" Thor yelled as the axe charged up
" That isn't important. What's important is, the deed is done. It always will be" Thanos moved his head up a little till he was sitting. "I am, inevitable"
The Avengers were speechless but the black American guy who was in the high tech black armour said
" We've gotta tear this place apart, he's gotta be lying"
" My father is many things, " Nebula said
" a liar isn't one of them"
" Hold on a sec, he's your father?!!" the rock man said in shock. " Well, ain't this something"
" Ahhh, thank you daughter" Thanos said to Nebula as she bowed slightly. " I obviously treated you too harshly.."
"AAAAAARGH!!!" Thor yelled in complete rage and with another swift swing of the axe, beheaded Thanos.
His blood spilled on Nebula's face as the other heroes were taken aback by his sudden rage.
" What did you do?" Rocket said
" I went for the head" He replied. He turned around and walked back out of the house.
Ben deactivated the Ultimatrix and transformed back to his normal self.
" So that's it." He said to everyone who couldn't believe what had just happened and the reality of the situation.
Thanos is dead
The stones are gone
So is everyone that was killed by what he did with them.
And so is Carol.
And there's no bringing them back

Aaaaaaaaand done!!!Okay, I hope you all enjoyed that one. I believe this is one of the saddest moments for the Avengers, realising that no one could bring back the trillions that Thanos took away. Well , next the Avengers head home and Carol goes for Superman.
Carol: * barges through the door* That son of a bitch!!!
Ash: oh hey there Carol, what's up with the thief?
Carol: That bastard has tech that makes him almost impossible to catch, but I'm catching him today.
Ben: Isn't that what you told me yesterday?
Carol: Well... y... yeah but you never know.
Ash: If you never know, then why tell me you'll catch him today?
Ash Ben : * Deadpan at her knowing she has nothing left to say*
Carol: You know what, I don't have time for this. I need to get some stuff. Oh yeah ash, how about the story?
Ash: Yeah the Avengers think you're dead..
Ben: And I don't even know you
Carol: Rrrright.
Ash: oh and Ben opens the writing in the next chapter. It's gonna be awesome and remember what I always say...
