Hey guys!
I'm tots excited to be back and writing for y'all again. As we all know, well , as the followers all know, Ben and the Avengers just decapitated Thanos...
If I wanted to be specific, I'll just say Thor cut off his head in a cold blooded act of rage.
.. And Cap's off to find Superman. Now you all might be wondering how she's gonna do that, but Superman coming back from the dead emits a huge amount of energy. Carol's just gonna follow the energy signature she feels till she finds him.
Carol: How do you know I can sense energy?
Ash: Uuuuuuh...Cuz I read your comics. Anyway aren't you supposed to be hunting down some tech thief?
Carol: Well, Ben became a sweetheart and subbed for me.
* phone vibrates*
And now I got a text from him saying he caught the bastard?
Ash: Ha! and to think it took you weeks! Hahaahaahahahahah...
* beam scrapes his hair as he stops laughing immediately*
Oookay...
Carol: do me a favour, go fix your hair. You look terrible * fly's of in a huge flash of energy*
Ash: Some girls are... heartless. Oh anyway, did any of you see Zack Snyder's Justice League ... That, if you ask me is DC'S greatest work, and I will be adding a little of it to my story...
...what am I saying...
... ALOT OF IT!!!! So if you haven't seen it, please stop reading right here... if you have, well then come the hell along!!!

Confrontation
Carol, now dressed in her Captain Marvel costume, which Diana had fixed somehow, walked down a hallway in the batcave. Thoughts of Nick, Thanos, this new unfamiliar threat in this universe running in her head. She still couldn't believe how fast this whole stuff happened. She still felt a deep sense of regret and pain for leaving a team that Nick Fury created.
Then she saw Diana...
" Looking all suited up huh?" Diana asked with a small smile.
" Well, I've gotta look the part if I'm going to get the man you all need" She replied with a small smile of her own.
Diana looked at her
" I'm not so sure about this. He's unstable. He might hurt you, again. Plus the fact he's never even met you before"
Carol's serious face turned into one that was about to burst into laughter, and that she did.
" What's funny why are you laughing?" Diana said confused to Carol's reaction.
Carol calmed down the laughter and said.
" If I could hit him that hard when I wasn't 100% up for it, then imagine what I could do when I am"
" He's a lot stronger than you think"
" Relax Diana. I got this" Carol said as they started walking towards the exit point. " Victor found anything yet?"
" Yeah, the motherboxes are to be fused and from what we've seen, he's created a fortress around the place."
" Wow. Sounds really scared if you ask me" Carol commented " Victor really helps around here."
Diana sighed..
" For someone who just lost his father, yes"
" He lost his father?"
" Steppenwolf had found the box. He knew Victor's dad was with it. So In a bid to save everyone, Victor's father heated up the box in order for us to find it when Steppenwolf had taken it. See, when the box was heated by the electron laser, it's core became super hot and an object that hot..."
" Would easily be found on a heat detector machine, maybe on a satellite due to it's intense heat temperature." Carol completed.
Diana nodded
" ..but the man didn't survive the radiation and was turned to ash." Diana said sadly " before Victor's very eyes"
Carol felt a little sad for him as Diana explained the whole thing. They had finally reached the exit point.
" I'll get Clark, and I'll make sure his father didn't die for nothing." Carol promised and put her hand on Diana's shoulder.
" I know you will" Diana responded as Alfred , Batman's butler arrived.
" Ladies, is one of you leaving or both?" He said with a thick English accent.
" I'm the only one leaving, Diana stays with the team." Carol replied
" Very well then" Alfred walked forward and pushed a few buttons on a console causing the roof above them to open and their platform to ascend, making Carol realize that..
" Wait, we were underwater all this time?"
" Yeah, Bruce is a genius" Diana said as they kept ascending until they were surface level.
Carol let her mask cover her face as she attempted to fly off before...
" Carol.." Diana called out causing Carol to turn around and face her.
" Good luck" Diana said with a smile
Carol nodded and rocketed off in a bright yellow light.
Alfred moved closer to Diana and said
" So she's the glowing one that master Bruce talked about"
" Yes" Diana said
" Yes she is".

Carol tore through the sky flew all the way to outer space in just seconds. She hovered there before spotting two very strong energy signals...
One coming from Russia
Another from a small area outside Metropolis.
" That's him" She said as she rocketed towards his home.

A box opened as a woman took a shirt from inside...
" Your mother got behind on the payments" She said as she slowly approached a muscular man looking out her window without a shirt on. " She didn't tell anyone" she finished.
Clark turned to her " I don't understand"
He seemed confused, Lois, the woman, his fiancée, could tell that
" She's a proud woman Clark" Lois said
" here" She handed him the shirt. As she began to help him put it on, she also began to wonder what brought him back and the unbelief that he was actually here, after getting stabbed by a monster from his planet... more like his uncle to be clear... she could never ask for anything more.
" She loved it here" Clark said as he began to button the shirt up. Then he stopped and looked up like someone who just realized something...
" So did I" He said " So did I" his memory began to return as he let out a small chuckle which became a small smile as he continued to button up his shirt...
.. then his hearing picked up something
Like something flying towards his house at full speed...
" Something's coming" He said as he looked up
" What?" Lois asked worried " What's coming"
... It got closer
Superman started thinking it was a threat until he decided to look in the direction of the projectile.
Due to his supervision, he spotted a woman in a red and blue costume which was glowing flying towards them.
" Her. I've seen her before" Superman said as he kept staring.
" Who, who are you talking abo..." before Lois could finish, she heard a noise in the farm and turned to see the same lady Clark had been staring at.
Carol stared at the window with her helmet still on. She knew fully well that Clark had seen her, but due to the unsure look Clark gave her, she couldn't tell if he was planning on fighting. In a split second, he was gone from the window and came out through the door and stopped. Carol retracted her helmet letting her long blonde hair flow from the Mohican the helmet had turned it into.
" Remember me?" Carol asked
Clark took a good look again and answered
" Yeah, just don't remember where"
Lois just walked out the door and stood behind him. Carol recognized the lady.
" Wait, you're the one who calmed him down at the park" Carol said as Lois nodded a little.
Clark remembered her.
" You" He said. " You were the one..."
"... you almost killed. Yeah, i recall that clearly" Carol completed. "don't let that make you think you can do it again"
Clark moved towards the farm keeping a good distance from Carol.
" what do you want?"
" I want you" Carol say confidently before she realised how fucked up that sounded. Clark narrowed his eyes in confusion... Lois also.
" No I , I don't mean the want like... WANT you sort of... want, I mean I came to get you." Carol for sure saw that Superman was a handsome guy, with that muscular body, blue eyes, that could easily turn red when in battle, somehow his beauty really comes out when he's not trying to kill someone...
'Carol, fucking focus'"
Who are you?" Clark asked not wasting anymore time as curiosity was getting the best of him. " All the people I care about, all my friends, I'm slowly starting to remember them, but you," he said as he moved closer " I have no idea who you are, and you better not be trying to kill me"
Carol felt like knocking the wind out of him where he stood, but that wouldn't be a good first impression... oh wait, he already got a first impression at the park.
" Well, first, I'm not trying to kill you. Second, I'm doing this for your friends, okay. So if you think I need you I don't... but they do, cuz the world, your world, is about to end, and they don't stand a chance against the threat on their hands. I could help them, but they need someone they can trust. So are you gonna listen to me, or are you gonna think I'm some secret agent trying to kill you, and let everyone die?" Carol said a bit pissed. Why would anyone think she's with the bad guys?
Clark on the other hand could sense the urgency and truth in her words and knew this wasn't a joke. He remembered Bruce, Diana, the two who fought by his side just before his death at the hands of Doomsday. He needed to know, what the hell was going on again.
" We need to have a long talk"

AftermathThe ship arrived back on earth, the Avengers mansion to be precise and the Avengers walked out of it with the most heartbroken and hopeless looks on their faces. Ben looked at the team around him and saw a group of broken heroes. Who knows the people they've lost? Who knows what they had gone through? and all of it, for nothing.
They approached the door and as it opened, they walked in only to see a man , sitting on a chair leaning on the desk in front of him wearing a tight black shirt and a pair of glasses. He had short dry hair, a light brown in colour and a demeanor that screamed " GENIUS, BILLIONAIRE, PLAYBOY, PHILANTHROPIST!!!"
He stood on his feet immediately he saw them and walked to them with a look of expectation on his face..
" Did it work? did you guys do it?" He asked but the sad look on their faces told him everything was wrong.
" You didn't do it did you?" He asked
devastated .
" Tony, the stones are gone. There was nothing we could do." Cap said with a breaking voice as Nat walked towards the fridge wiping tears from her eyes. Tony walked back to the desk and leaned on it. He then looked towards Ben.
" Who are you if I may ask?"
" Oh I'm just an extra hand"
Ben replied. ' So he's Tony huh?'
Thor, on the other hand walked right back outside.
" Hey Thor! Where you going?" The man who was in the Hulkbuster armour, the red and yellow metal suit, asked. Thor stopped, turned and said.
" It's my fault. I should have gone for his head in Wakanda" Thor said.
" No, don't put this on yourself Thor. You didn't know that was the only way to kill him." Cap said trying to talk Thor out of depression.
" I can't stay here. I failed Asgard. I failed Midgard. I failed the universe." Thor said with teary eyes " I failed everyone. I'm a failure"
" No listen you are not a failure. You're Thor, the God of lightning and thunder" The black American said.
" What use is the God of lightning and thunder when he can't stop and alien from destroying half of the universe?" Thor shot back. " My days of protecting this realm, are over." He said as the Axe he held charged up and he flew away in a blast of lightning.
Cap looked at the sky and back to the ground.
' This really is the end of The Avengers'
"Well, we just lost Thor." Tony said " Is Thanos dead?" He asked trying to control his feelings.
" He's dead" Cap replied
" Thor beheaded him" The man that was in the red and yellow metal suit said.
" You know what Bruce, I would appreciate it if you don't talk about it. " Rocket said as Nebula walked past him.
Tony knew this was pointless. Having team of superheroes who let half the world die was a waste of time.
" Look at us Cap" Tony said to Cap " We're sore losers. We're not a team, just a group of people trying to make a name for ourselves. First we killed hundreds of people sokovia ,then you break the law and we break apart, then Thanos comes and we lose half our planet. We are not a team, just a bunch of ... Pre- Vengers" Tony said as he turned around.
" oh and guess what," Tony said as the entire team looked at him, in suspense...
" you just lost me too" he finished as he walked away.
Cap was broken, Tony's words hit him like a freight train. He looked at Nat who was sitting on the chair leaning on a desk with a bottle of beer in her hands. If Cap were to be asked ,she was the most broken amongst all of them.
" I gotta go" The black American in the black suit said as his faceplate closed and he rocketed towards the sky.
Cap didn't bother to stop him. This was the obvious result of such a huge loss.
Rocket walked up to Nebula... " You staying, or you leaving cuz I definitely am" He said as he turned around and walked towards the front door. Before he reached there he stopped beside Cap and said..
" It was nice knowing you, Captain America" Before he walked out and Nebula followed as they approached their ship.
Ben stood motionless and silent while all this played out. He had never seen a group of heroes so broken and so hopeless. It almost felt like he lost someone he loved to snap but he didn't. Cap turned to him
" You leaving too?"
Ben smiled,
" If you wanna quit being a superhero, then yeah I'll leave, but Thanos didn't take everyone." Ben said as he looked at Nat.
" There are other threats out there maybe not as big as Thanos himself, but they are still threats and threats need to be stopped. People are out there who need help who need people to protect them. So as long as there are people here on earth, I don't see any good reason for us to stop doing what were doing. So I'm with you" Ben said as he put his hand on Caps shoulder.
" Thanks kid" Cap said. " though I still got a lot of questions to ask"
