Don't own Marvel or HP
Fuck. Shit. Bitch. God damn. Mother fucking bull-
"Hello? Does anyone copy?" I hear Nat's voice but, its not over the comms.
"Na- Nat!" I yell, casting the debris off of my body and standing shakily. "Nat, where are you?" Dust clouds my lungs and I cough violently.
I can't see a thing.
"Hermione?! I can here you." Her voice calls again, and I throw up a flare. "I see you, stay there."
With a lumos lighting up my hand, I can see Nat's bruised face once she gets close to me.
"What the hell happened?" She coughs as I search the room for a way out. There is none.
"I don't know. Grab my arm. I'm apparating us out of here." I was pretty sure we were currently under that lab so I focus on where the entrance of the, now decimated, building was.
"You're what?" She asks, grabbing hold of my arm regardless.
"Don't throw up." Is all I offer before pulling her through the apparition.
Thankfully we land above ground and not covered in bodily fluids. These Avengers had stronger stomachs than most wizards I know.
"Oh my god." Natasha gasps as we take in the smoldering crater that had, not five minutes ago, been our base. A short distance away, a several strikes of lightning rain down.
"They're fighting. We've got to get to them." I mutter, breaking into a sprint, Nat not far behind.
"Where are the stones?" She pants and I shake my head. "They have to be down below."
"Are you saying you want to go back down there?" I ask incredulously. I just saved her life, why was she so keen on losing it?
"I have to. You go help Thor." I nod and she breaks off to find a way back down below, disappearing under a pile of rubble just as I catch sight of the fight, just in time to see Iron Man inadvertently hit by Thor's hammer and flung aside.
I decide to start there, creeping my way towards the suit and casting Rennervate.
Hopefully that will get him back up quicker.
I make it back to the battle just as Cap, wielding Thor's hammer, draws Thanos' attention.
"Protego diabolica!" A ring of black flames surrounds us, distracting the Mad Titan just long enough for Rogers to land a solid hit on him. I accio the swords from my bag before casting a disablement jinx. "Impedimenta!"
The hex slows him down and I'm able to land a blow to the back of Thanos' legs before he flings me away with more force than the Whomping Willow and I land with a painful grunt.
"Confringo!" I gasp from my spot on the ground, the fiery blast hits him in the back but, it leaves me powerless to avoid the string of lightning that is accidentally flung my way and it knocks me back; hitting my head and causing me to see stars.
I try to stand as Thanos beats Cap down, breaking his shield and flinging him next to me.
"In all my years of conquest, violence, and slaughter. It was never personal." I hear Thanos gloat. "But, I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying, little planet. I'm going to enjoy it; very, very much."
I see a blue beam descend in the distance followed by and army that had to be triple what we fought in Wakanda and I know we're beat.
But… I refuse to die lying down.
Get up Captain.
We're not done yet.
I apparently said the words out loud because he nods as we lock eyes and rise to our feet at the same time.
This Titan took everything I love and if I was going to die; it would be fighting him.
I watch Steve tighten his shield strap against a broken arm and feel my determination radiated back at me. Together, we approach Thanos.
"Mia? Are you there? You better not be dead." I hear Ginny's voice in my mind and it's enough to bring tears to my eyes.
It had worked.
I hear the cracks of apparition followed by the unique sound of the Doctor's magic and turn towards it, Steve following suit.
I could collapse in relief as T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri step out of the golden ring, followed by Sam. I scan the area as a mass amount of portals appear and my eyes land on Harry being followed by everyone.
Ron, Neville, George, Draco… Everyone.
"On your left, Mia." My ears follow Ginny voice and she's there, standing next to Strange and Rocket's team, very much alive and very much looking for revenge. A loud rumble shakes the ground as AntMan emerges from the building; Hulk, War Machine, and Rocket in hand.
"You're right Hermione. We aren't done yet." Steve's voice says from behind me and I turn to him, letting out a strangled cry when I see James behind him.
I turn back to Thanos with a wicked grin.
"Avengers!" The Captain yells. "Assemble."
It's the God of Thunder that starts the riotous cheers and the ensuing battle. I accio the swords to my hands and jump into the fray with renewed vigor, casting and cutting anything in my path. A gorilla like beast rears on me and is quickly disintegrated by a spell cast by Ginny.
"I want every Avenger to have a Wizard." I yell, when I fight my way towards Harry and the others. "Gin, I want you by Cap. Now!"
"Got it." She takes off in a cloud of black, momentarily startling Harry who, up until this point had been quite in the dark about what Ginny and I do.
"Harry, I want you by Stark. Ron, your shirt is inside out, get it together and cover the big guy."
"That one?" He asks, pointing towards Scott, wearing the same face he does whenever he's terrified.
"No, the other big guy. He's green. Go!" I bark, slinging a blade of magic to the group of beasts surrounding Mrs. Weasley and he scurries away.
"I can't believe I dated him." I groan.
I feel an arm grab my waist and my sword comes down hard on it, only for metal to clash against metal. My eyes run from his arm up to his face and I have to hold back tears: dark hair, blue eyes, piercing gaze, and a vibranium arm.
James.
I drop my swords and run my hands down his face, neck, shoulders, arms-
"I'm right here." His smile disappears and he breaks away before shooting into a beast behind me; circling back to me. His eyes flicker to the ring on my finger and, before I know it, we're locked in a tight embrace, his lips on mine.
I chuckle against his mouth at his awful timing.
A curse flies past, breaking us apart and I watch Neville as he follows Natasha through the fights.
"Now, who did you date?" Another curse flies over head and Mr. Weasley's voice rings above the screams in a way only a stern father could.
"Mione, while I am happy for you. Now may not be the time." I pick up my swords and we head back into battle, shooting and cutting through anything that's stands in the way between us and the rest of the team.
"Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?" Clint's voice comes over the comms and I spot him running through the field, gauntlet in hand, followed closely by George.
"Get those stones as far away from here as possible!"
"No!" Banner and I shout.
"We have to get the stones back to their original timeline."
What?! I want to use them to wipe out this army.
"We can't we don't have any more time sand." Tony gripes and I let out a hiss at his attitude.
"Well, I'll make sure to bring extra next time!" I shout as I begin casting Fiendfyre.
"The Quantum tunnel wasn't our only time machine." I hear a car horn and roll my eyes.
"You mean to say, your original plan was to use a time machine out of the back of a van?!" James stops shooting and looks at me with a bemused expression. I just barely miss his shoulder when I cast a hex behind him.
"Anyone see an ugly brown van?" Cap asks and a voice I'm unfamiliar with answers.
"Scott, how long do you need to get that started?"
"Ten minutes?"
"I don't like how unsure you sound about that." James grunts, knocking a beast back with a fierceness that was new to me.
I wonder if that's what he meant when he said I look good while fighting aliens. I definitely see the appeal in it now.
"Get it started, we'll bring the stones to you." Cap orders; James and I share a look and begin carving our way to T'Challa. I feel the familiar power before I see the tornado of rocks close around him and I'm thankful when Spiderman takes the gauntlet.
I fought this alien before and lost but, I won't lose twice.
"Ebony Maw!" I yell, having learned his name from Nebula, and distracting him, allowing T'Challa to escape.
"Chattering animal." He hisses, sending a flurry of pikes towards James and I.
"Mina, what are you-"
"Pulvis." The rocks turn to dust and create a cloud dense enough to provide me the precious seconds of cover I needed.
"Saxum Sepulcrum contreo." I feel the Maw's power fighting for control over the surrounding debris; trying to pull it from my magic's grasp and I hear him yell out in pain when a block of rock sticks itself to his body, then another, and another.
I wait until he's completed covered before clapping my hands together and crushing him.
"Take cover!" Someone, I can't tell who, yells over the comms and I look up, watching as the ship rains fire on its own troops.
James tackles me to the ground, knocking me out of my daze and giving me enough time to cast a protection spell over us.
"Gin! Harry" We need cover." I yell through the two separate mind webs, causing my head to split painfully.
I get affirmations from the both of them and the sky becomes a myriad of blues and oranges as both factions of wizards put up their shields but, the rockets come down harder.
"He's taking out his own troops." James mutters from out spot on the ground.
"Something must have him scared. Wait… What are they firing at?" I drop the shield and watch the rockets fly at some unknown target.
"Friday, what are they firing at?" Tony asks
"Something just entered the upper atmosphere." The AI replies as a streak of light bounds across the sky.
"Is that a person?" I hear Ginny gasp in awe, and I feel my own mouth fall open as a woman flies directly into Thanos' war ship.
"Oh yeah! You guys are so screwed now!" Rocket yells from next to us as the ship crashes into the lake.
"Danvers, we need an assist here." I could hear the relief in Cap's voice as he calls her.
"You know her?" I balk as she descends towards the gauntlet.
"Yeah and you would too if you had responded to any of my letters in the past five years." Rhodey huffs.
"Really?! You're deciding to complain about that now?"
"Danvers had the gauntlet. She won't be able to make I through alone." I turn to James at the sound of Pepper's voice with a sad smile.
"I'm going to help them. Don't die." I run from the worry in his eyes and towards where Ginny and others were fighting through the soldiers, casting a Fiendfyre as I approach.
"Shit Mia, when'd you learn to do that?" Ginny gasps ask a fiery beast runs past her.
"I didn't, I just kind of casted and hoped for the best last time and it worked." I answer honestly with a short laugh. "Does this remind you of-"
"Japan 2016? Where that wizard lost control of his ghouls?" She finishes
"Exactly." My grin falls when a blast of energy knocks us down and I watch the gauntlet fly from Danver's hands and the ensuing fight.
I watch as she goes down and Tony looks towards Strange and the latter holds up one finger.
No.
"Mia where are you going?" I barely hear Natasha yell as I bolt towards Thanos and Stark; Harry running in from the opposite direction.
"Ginny get over here and bring Malfoy. We're going to need the best healers ready."
"Mione' what are you doing?" I don't answer her frantic question, locking eyes with Harry, just as Stark goes for the gauntlet.
I slide next to Tony just as he's thrown to the ground and Thanos holds his arm up
I watch in a panic and the stones set themselves in the Iron Man suit and he convulses.
The stones are just energy… They're just a flow of burning, radiated energy.
A flow can be diverted.
My hand flies to his neck, the only uncovered piece of skin, and cry out in pain.
It burns. It was as if the crucio curse had been amplified.
I don't feel Harry grab my hand but, I hear his grunt of pain.
"And." Tony pants as I feel my skin flaying. "We are the Avengers."
A bright light blinds me, and I feel as if I'm dying.
Then it all goes black.
