Greek Myths are real Aliens or Monsters c30

Sam ended up running past so many bodies, never had she ran so much in her life and she was surprised she was not more tired then again her adrenaline was pumping and she had no time to be tired. Three Romans were trying to take down one cyclops she ran up its back and stabbed it in the neck turning it to dust she rolled as she landed getting back to her feet. The Romans stared after her as she jumped over a rather large dead alien and landed on its body she jumped off into the air twisting her body she fired an arrow it hit the space whale in its eyes forcing it to crash land. She landed rather awkwardly on the ground but quickly jumped back to her feet she continued to run, she needed to get to Thanos. As she ran she could not help but notice that dead Asgardians, Romans, Wakandans and Greeks. Her fathers song came to mind and she unconsciously began to hum it to herself. Her grip tightened around the sword once again, her anger at this situation was making her see red or gold…seeming she had started to glow. She saw the Avengers up ahead in time to see Steve being thrown into Bucky. Stark dived down at him only to end up the suit around his arms being crushed before he was thrown off to the left. Clint was down and Pietro was picking him up to take him to safety. Natasha looked dazed, Steve was back up holding Thanos's gloved hand stopping him from snapping his fingers. Sam did not slow down however as she watched Steve once again being cast aside after receiving a punch to his face. Bucky was up again about to attack but Sam over took him she jumped off the titans leg twisting her body to kick him in the face grabbed at the glove only to be thrown into the ground.

"I am trying to save the universe. All of you do not understand that."

"What you are doing is genocide." Sam stated getting back to her feet

"You child do not understand." Thanos stated all though he looked at her with interest as if he remembered her from somewhere. He lifted his hand to snap his fingers but Thor landed next to him with an axe in his hands the blade dug deeply into his shoulder. "You should have gone for the neck." Thanos stated and snapped his fingers everyone shouted out No! but nothing happened.

"What?" he asked looking down at the glove to see the stones were no longer there he looked wildly around his gaze dropping on Sam, everyone was now on their feet. "YOU!" He shouted taking a step forward Sam now held everyone's attention even Rocket and his friends

"How is she holding all of them?" Rocket asked seeming all six stones were currently on her bracelet.

"You cannot use them!" Thanos shouted

"Enough fighting!" Sam stated as Thanos tried running at her and the Avengers each shouted at Sam not to do this she snapped her fingers and everything seemed to freeze waiting for something to happen. When it looked like nothing was happening Thanos took another step forward…The music still seemed to be the thing she was thinking about as gasps echoed across the battlefield. Soon after the cheering followed making the others look around in time to see the aliens all turning to dust, she knew that the monsters were also turning to ash. She looked down at herself the bracelet was now burning as a ripple of golden light erupted from Sam, the stones disappeared and she was now lying on the ground. Thanos slowly turned to ash as his army fell.

"Sam!" Natasha was the first one next to her looking her over for injuries, Sam knew she was not injured but she was dying. "Stay with me." She stated "Why Sam?" Natasha asked

"Losing was not an option…I'm tired." Sam replied, part of her was expecting to hurt but in all honesty she felt at peace. She began to close her eyes.

"Oh no you don't eyes on me." Natasha stated

"I want to go home." Sam stated with a small smile "You're safe." She mumbled before closing her eyes for the last time. Her body began to disappear just like Thanos's.

"What? What just happened?" Wanda asked

"She saved us." Steve replied

"The monsters?" Natasha asked

"Gone, she got rid of the monsters and aliens alike. All those that were injured are no longer injured." Annabeth stated making the others turn around to face her she was with Percy and the others that went on their quest.

"Where is she?" Percy asked he wanted to thank her, she seemed to have snapped her fingers at the right time seeming Gaia was about to kill Annabeth, Piper who was seriously injured was healed after a golden light washed over them. As they made their way over they saw those that were left, and the dead bodies thankfully there were not that many compared to aliens seeming monsters once dead turn to dust. The once green terrain was now covered in ash.

"She's gone."

"Gone where?" Percy asked

"She turned to ash." Steve stated looking at where Sam was, Natasha still knelt there looking over the ash that used to be Sam.

"Oh."

"Using the stones that way always comes at a cost." Gamora stated

"Who was that kid? I mean we barely survived holding one how did she hold all six?"

"We won." Steve stated looking around all his allies and friends, he found it hard to smile at the loss that occurred especially when they made there way back and everyone cheered for them. It was going to be a long night cleaning up the battlefield getting the bodies ready to transport them home. The Greeks and Romans both agreed that they wanted to take their dead home that way they can have a proper resting place. Steve was worried that Sam was not going to rest easily since her body disintegrated he had no idea what would happen to her. Thor had told them that Sam's story would be told amongst the stars her bravery and accomplishment in defeating Thanos. That night they celebrated their victory and mourned the dead. The Asgardians were the first to leave, mainly because they had Heimdale bring the bifrost to them. The Greek and Romans then got their ships ready. Leo was a little upset that his ship got destroyed but he salvaged what he could and planned on making a better one when they got back to camp. Percy and Annabeth were welcomed back as heroes with Piper and Leo. The Romans were also happy to have Jason back but it turns out the Frank was now a Praetor. It was a slow journey home when they finally did get back to camp they were welcomed back by the gods. Annabeth had spoken to Thalia briefly but both were kept rather busy with the aftermath of the battle. T'Challa had also stated that a monument would be build in Wakanda for those that had fallen, he was in gratitude to Sam seeming she saved his life at one point in the battle. He had heard many stories similar to his as Sam had moved around the battle helping those that needed it. Tony was not sure how he was going to tell her mother that she was dead, Steve had offered to do it with him, in fact the team agreed to do it together because even if Sam did not see herself as part of their team the team saw her as part of it. The mood on the quinjet was sullen. Clint was piloting the jet when he saw something flashing on the dash he pushed it and a familiar voice started speaking over the speaker.

'Hey guys, if your hearing this that means I am dead, don't be sad I like to think I went out in a blaze of glory…oh gods I can't believe I said that…this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Okay here it goes. When I first came across you I will admit I did not like you, you were mortals and held little importance to me. I mean I had two lives, one with my mother and the other at camp that was it. Two separate ways of life and I was happy with it until I met you guys, then again you thought you were protecting me, even though I told you…repeatedly that I did not need it. You showed me a different view on how a hero could have both as one. So um thanks for that I guess, then again it probably won't matter now. Okay I am running out of time, you will be back soon, in the room I stayed in there is a chest…just something small to remember me by. I just need you guys to do something for me, don't grieve for me. Move on…it is a heroes life the possible idea that you will die you all signed up for this life. This was my life. I knew what I was getting into the moment I heard the prophecy, I knew that after spending so much time with you that I wanted to protect you. I knew this was going to be a one way trip, don't be mad and do not blame yourself. Nat I am talking to you. You guys know you can't protect everyone, what you guys probably won't understand is this is my fate, you may say Captain that you don't believe in fate, but I do. The Fates are worshipped in my religion you would call it and I guess it is time for my string to be cut. There was nothing that could be done and I have accepted that. One last piece of advice, don't go looking for monsters, or demigods or the gods in general. There is a lot to do with the Greek world and it is complicated and you do not want to go offending any of the gods. Peter, don't forget to take MJ out or I swear I will haunt you. Wanda you don't have to accept the offer, only if you want it you can say no and Pietro…keep messing with Clint. (she started to laugh) only joking Clint. Stark…Tony. Thank you for all you have done. boreí to fos na evlogeí ton drómo pou paírnete (may the light bless the road you take) oi theoí boroún na proséchoun tis epilogés pou kánete (may the gods watch over the choices you make) me dýnami sofía kai timí (with strength, wisdom and honor) sas efcharistó (thank you).' Just like that the transmission ended well she stopped speaking and a soft song began to play.

"How can she ask us to move on?" Peter asked

"What did she mean when she told you that you can say no?" Natasha asked looking at Wanda who shrugged

"I was asked if I wanted to join them." Wanda shrugged she was still not sure on what she wanted to do, she was mourning the loss of her friend. The rest of the trip back was in silence, after talking with Nick and Maria over a video conference it being clear that May had already briefed them.

They arrived back in New York and it seemed that Lily knew that her daughter did not make it back, she looked sad and excused herself.

"You know I thought she was going to shout, or scream. I did not expect her to thank us." Steve stated looking in the direction that she had walked off to.

"She's in shock." Stark tried, when he informed Pepper she burst into tears before going with Natasha to talk to her mother.

"What do you mean she's saying she died in a car crash?" Steve asked it was the next morning and Natasha had spent the night watching over Sam's mother who was up til late preparing paperwork.

"She said the world can't know about the Gods, it can't know what she did."

"She saved the…universe does she not get some recognition for that?" Stark asked

"She says Sam would not want that, when they ask you what was a child doing there? Fighting a war with aliens?"

"She is not just a child." Steve stated

"The world cannot know about the demigods, when they fight monsters mortals do not see it Mr Stark. They do not do it for public recognition. Sam would not want it." Lily stated entering the room looking at Tony who cringed at seeing her.

"Sorry, I am just saying her sacrifice…" he stopped seeing the pained look in her eyes he shared a look with Steve and the room fell into a silent lull.

"I know what you are saying, and I am grateful to know how it happened. That what she fought for…please just let it be. This is how it is done." Lily stated making the others look at her.

"What do you mean?"

"When Demigods die and their families are informed it they have family outside of camp. They can't just disappear. So a story is told to placate the public. There quests are shared and remembered at camp, they are honoured there." Lily replied

"So the world will think she died in a car crash?" Steve asked and she nodded, it happened that night it made the news. Stark was informed by Jarvis about it, at first Stark thought it was SHIELD covering it up but Lily told them the gods do it. Lily returned to her home where she was sent condolences, Natasha was keeping an eye on her and watched as she cried feeling guilty. Even though Sam had told her not to she couldn't help it, she had made a promise and failed that promise. So she made herself a different promise that she would protect as many innocent lives as she could and to watch over Lily Green.
