Please Read This First:
So according to the small clock on the side of my computer its been almost two hours since I stepped out of the movie theater. I won't spoil Endgame, so don't worry, but in a couple of weeks I will address the movie, today, however, is not that day. The things that I want to say to you, first of all, is a sincere thank you, for reading, for putting up with me disappearing for months and then returning as if nothing happened. Writing is hard, and writing for this fandom in particular is very special to me.
Now the chapters that you are reading, have read in the last two months and will read in the upcoming weeks were all written a while ago, they will not change because of what happened in Endgame, my story, overall won't change, it can't. As I've said before this story is first and foremost a Fix-it, things won't go 100% smooth always, but I do have a happy ending planned.
The reason why I'm posting at 2am and not at a more sensible time is because I needed to do something, I needed hope, a small pick me up from what I just saw, so if someone here saw Endgame and you feel like I do, feel free to send me a direct message, we can talk about it.
So thank you guys, enjoy the chapter and most importantly DONT SPOIL THE ENDGAME.
Alex.
To your Reviews now:

Marlastiano: :')
LenaMiaH: Obrigado pelo seu comentário! Eu sempre os amo. Fico feliz que você tenha gostado da minha interpretação de Wakanda, não fui completamente vendida, mas decidi não mudá-la. Talvez algum dia veremos a história de Alex / T'Challa, não tendo certeza se, depois de terminar esta história e a do Capitão América, eu estarei pronto para começar outra história da Marvel. Mas nunca devemos dizer nunca. Eu realmente sinto muito sobre Erik, ele é um canon solto e Alexandra não poderia ter isso, ela não estava feliz com isso, mas às vezes sacrifícios têm que ser feitos. Você faz um grande ponto, teria sido incrível ver Erik e T'Challa crescendo juntos, aposto que teria sido muito doce. De qualquer forma, obrigado novamente por seu commetário, espero que você seja bom, obrigado pela leitura!Guest: Thank you much for reading!
KyloRen'sgirl213: Thank you so much! I hope you like this one! :)
Rosiekay: Thank your for your kind words and thank you so much for reading my stories.
fightingstoryaddiction: Wow thanks for all of the reviews, to answer a few of your questions, I don't know if Thanos ever met Hela (would be interesting though), I don't think Mars is a viable option for many people. Regarding Thor/Jane, Thor was with Jane when he took Alexandra to Asgard that time, but since he got married to Alexandra his relationship with Jane obviously failed. Now, Jane, and I think I mentioned it in the story, requested to work very far from the states, to not meet Thor and to not see Alexandra unless strictly necessary, she's a professional and she acted as such. Frigga will eventually have grandbabies, but like somewere in the distant future, you'll see.
Thor couldn't understand Alexandra completely, whatever she had seen, whatever she knew, the burden she carried. It of course gave him light about other things, ever since they had been married, he knew about her nightmares, at first he thought that they were because of her being wedded to him, but now, he wanted to know so badly, what had she seen that she was so scared.
Once she had fallen asleep he had decided to seek Tony out, maybe Stark had some knowledge, maybe Alexandra had told him something that she had yet to share with Thor. Tony of course had been a dead end, the man told Thor of the wormhole, the ships and the might of Thanos' army, that was the reason behind the legion. They had time, yes, Alexandra had confirmed that at least.
"Is it that bad?" asked Tony, Thor nodded nursing his glass of whiskey.
"She was in hysterics, I can't remember ever seeing her like this," he said, Tony looked conflicted.
"But why now? She seemed confident enough before," Tony asked, Thor shrugged.
"Perhaps the passage of time is bothering her, perhaps she feels now that her efforts will be futile," he reasoned, Tony frowned.
"This is about the stones right, the tesseract, the mind stone, the aether, that's three we own, what if we could destroy them?" asked Tony, Thor seemed to think about that.
"Those stones hold infinite power, I am not sure what or who could be strong enough to destroy them," Thor said, Tony frowned.
"The stones are energy, right, the tesseract was able to power up and open the wormwhole for the chitauri, perhaps we don't need someone, but they can destroy themselves with a little help from us," Tony said already running the numbers in his head.
"And you would build this?" asked Thor, Tony nodded, "We would risk angering Thanos if we manage to destroy the stones."
"And? I'd rather face the titan without the power of the stones and actually have a chance at winning," Tony argued, Thor seemed to think about and nodded.
"Do you have an idea on what you are going to build?"
"You know big guy; I think I do," Tony said with a smirk on his face.
As Thor left, Tony grabbed a StarkPad and began running the numbers with Friday and Jarvis correcting any errors that he could have. Tony had a plan, he had managed to deep fry Stane with an Arc Reactor a few years ago, the backlash of energy that it had accidentally produced had been massive, now he just needed to recreate and increase that power. He needed enough power to destroy a planet, the whole galaxy probably, he ran a hand through his chest, a look of determination on his face. He was Tony Fucking Stark and he was going to deep fry himself some infinity stones.
He walked into his labs sending Pepper a message, he wouldn't make it tonight, then he commanded Jarvis to clear his schedule for the week. He had work to do, much work to do.
Alexandra was fixing her hair in front of the mirror, she and Thor were to leave for Asgard in an hour. She needed to ask Heimdall about Nivadellir, she needed to make sure that the Dwarves were okay and that Thanos hadn't commissioned the Gauntlet just yet. She sighed at her reflection, Thor needed Stormbreaker to kill Thanos, she needed Wanda to destroy the mind stone, also she needed to find a way to destroy the tesseract and she needed to retrieve the power stone from Xandar before Thanos could kill them all, she also needed to get in touch with the Guardians.
Balancing the timeline was not fun, Alexandra was sure that if she strayed just a little from it then Thanos could win, and she was adamant to not let that happen. The aether was another thing, how could she destroy something that could possess someone? She knew the reality stone would be most likely the trickiest to destroy. The soul stone was safe in Vormir and as long as Thanos didn't get his hands on Gamora or Nebula it would remain safe. And the time stone was safe with the Ancient One in Kamar-Taj and would remain so, she couldn't intervene with Strange's future just yet, he was just a surgeon, she needed him to become a sorcerer and that wouldn't happen until 2017 and it was halfway through 2015, she had time on her side, at the moment.
She also thought about bringing Wakanda to the fold a year earlier, T'Chaka wouldn't die in an explosion, Zemo's family was okay in Sokovia, he wouldn't be trying to destroy the Avengers. Thunderbolt Ross was her main concern, but the man was currently laying low, she knew that he could be eliminated with a word from her, but she was hesitating on the order, because, if she killed everyone she thought that needed to be killed, was she better than HYDRA?
Her S-Pad pinged and she grabbed it from her table to see what had happened, her mouth was set in a grim thin line as she saw the pictures of Erik Stevens' dead body, a necessary evil, she typed a quick message to the Agent who had done it, to send Erik off to the sea in a small funeral, it was the least he deserved. She sighed again.
"Alexandra?" asked Thor from the room, Alexandra steeled herself and turned off her S-Pad.
"In the bathroom," she answered and a moment later Thor was standing next to her.
"Is something wrong?" he asked, Alexandra shook her head.
"There are many things that need to be done if we want to survive this," she said looking at him, Thor held her gently by her shoulders.
"And we will do them, I will assist you with everything that needs to be done," he promised and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"The scepter comes with us to Asgard," she said, Thor looked at her confused, "There is a way to destroy the stone, I won't be taking any chances."
"Then we will destroy it," Thor said, Alexandra nodded at him.
"Dad? Thor and I are leaving soon, we'll try to come back as soon as possible," she said as she walked into Tony's lab, Tony was hunched over a table going through blueprints, "Dad?"
"Sweetheart!" he said looking up, Alexandra noticed that his hair was in disarray and his clothes were rumpled and stained with coffee.
"Dad, did you sleep last night, JARVIS did he sleep last night?" she asked.
"Of course I did," said Tony.
"Sir slept a total of twenty-three minutes in the last twenty-four hours, Miss," Jarvis answered, Alexandra glared at Tony.
"Dad, I'm not even gone yet and you are already a mess, what are you even doing?" she asked walking to the table where he was working, minding the cup of coffee that Tony had on it, "Is that an Arc Reactor?"
"A big one, biggest one yet, it's going to be used as a particle accelerator with enough power to overcharge energy and hopefully help it self-destroy," he said, Alexandra looked at him confused.
"Why would you need a particle accelerator with such magnitude?" she asked trying to make sense of the equations that Tony had on paper, Tony looked at her.
"Because I am going to keep everything and everyone I love safe, and if that has me destroying all the infinity stones then so be it," he said, Alexandra's eyes widened as she realized what Tony was doing she smiled at him and hugged him tightly.
"Dad," she said into his neck as he hugged her back.
"I'm not taking any risks, kid, not with you, not with Pepper, I won't," he said into her hair.
"You're the best dad ever, I love you, I've told you, right?" she asked pulling away from him, Tony was grinning.
"Of course you have, by the way, I have a little something for you."
