Sorry it has been so long but here is the next chapter of this story. There will be one more after this one.
Steve sat at on end of the long table with Natasha at his right and Tony at his left. T'Chaka sitting at the other end with his wife at his right and son on his left. Also presant were all the Avengers, Thor and some people he brought to help, Phil Coulson and those from S.H.I.E.L.D Phil brought with him. It was an impresive group of individuals.
Steve stood "We know that Thanos needs the Infinity Stones. We have two of them secured here in Wakanda. We have two goals when he shows with his army. First is to protect Dr. Strange with the Time Stone and Vision with the Mind Stone. Wanda along with 2 STRIKE teams and some of T'Chaka's guards will guard them. Second is stopping Thanos. The Avengers will go after him with Thor and the Asgards. S.H.I.E.L.D and the Wakanda army will deal with Thanos's army.
If Thanos does not arrive right away, the Avengers will help fight Thanos's children if any of them survived the attack on New York and Avenger Island. Once Thanos arrives Avengers break off from your current fight as soon as you can and head for Thanos. We need to hit him as a team. We need to get the gauntlet off or hold him till Thor can kill him with Stormbreaker. Go for the head Thor." Thor nodded. "Once Thanos is dealt with we will all work together to finish off Thanos's army. If we fail the half the Universe will be lost." Steve sat back down and Natasha took his hand in hers.
King T'Chaka stood. "The Captain is right. We can not fail. I have spoken with Captain Rogers about who leads. The Captain will lead those who go after Thanos. T'Challa will lead the combined ground forces. Phil Coulson will lead the combined air units. The Captain has over all command. I will cordinate from the palace.
The plan that the Captain, myself and Mr. Coulson have come up with is this. All ground forces will stage near the city till we know where Thanos's army will arrive. Once we know all ground units will move to that location. We will hold back some units to guard the city. Most of the air unit will support the ground forces. I will have some of the Wakanda air ships patrol other parts of the shield to make sure Thanos doesn't try to sneak forces in behind us. Once the ground forces are in place I will have that section of the shield dropped. Half the air units will attack the ships that brought Thanos's army the other half will attack as they come through the breach. It will then be up to the ground force to fight any that get past the air units. Like the Captain said. His team will fight along with the ground units till Thanos arrives. Once he does any ground units that can need to take up the fights the Avengers are engaged in so they can regroup to take Thanos.
From our intel sources we expect him to arrive with in a couple days at the most but we need to be ready at a moments notice. Now lets go over all the details so we all know what we need to do and look for any holes in our plans."
They spent the rest of the day going over everything. T'Chaka had food and drinks brought in so that they did not need to stop for meals. Time was short and they all knew that.

Steve laid in bed that night with his wife beside him. He watched as she slept hoping that everything worked out and their family all made it through the coming battle. He didn't know how long he laid there before Natasha woke.
"Steve you need to get some sleep. You know better then most that there is nothing else we can do. We have trained for years for this fight. The plan you came up with is good." said a concerned Natasha.
Steve took a deep breath "I know. We are as ready as we can be. I just don't want to lose you out the kids. If I could I would keep you all safe but I need you by my side Nat. There is no one I rather have watch my back. The kids deserve to be here also. After coming back and warning us. As much as I would like to keep them back I know I can't."
"We can just hope for the best. We may lose some of our family and friends or we may be killed our selves. There are no guarantees in life." replied Natasha. "Now make love to me."
Steve leaned over and captured his wife's lips with his. They made love twice before falling asleep.

James and Sarah were sitting in James's room talking. Both were nervous about the upcoming fight. This is the reason they came back for. Their first goal had been reached with the final destruction of Ultron. Now they just needed to beat Thanos.
"James what happens after?" asked Sarah
"We wait and see. I know what Tony said but I don't know. He was not totally sure about things." answered James.
"I hope Mom and Dad come through this OK. They are so much better when they have each other to lean on." said Sarah.
"Yea I know. I don't know what will happen if they lose the other." replied James. "Come on time for bed we are going to be busy."

It was early 2 days later that Thanos troops arrived. When the first ship was spotted the Avengers all headed to a transport that was waiting for them. T'Challa and all the ground troops headed to theirs while Phil headed to his Quinjet so he could lead the air attack.
James and Sarah went up and hugged their parents and told them how much they loved them. Steve and Natasha looked at both of them and told them how proud they were of them and how much they loved them.
When they got to the staging area everyone deployed per the plan. T'Challa stood in front of all the ground troops while Steve and his team stood behind them till they knew weather Thanos would arrive at the beginning or wait to show.
Steve surveyed the area. A lot of open ground and little cover. "Phil, send half your quinjets and hit them from the rear. Take out as many ships and troops as you can."
"Rodger, Cap." replied Phil.
Steve saw several quinjets go to stealth mode before taking off. He watched as the creatures of Thanos's army start trying to breach the shield. They were dying by the hundreds but it was not stopping them.
Steve turned to Bucky. "Buck take your group down the left, I'll take the center and Thor your group down the right. I don't see Thanos."
Both acknowledged the orders and took off. Steve watched Thor and the Asgardian warriors he brought with him take off. Bucky headed off with James, Sarah, Peter and Pietro. Tony, Rhodes and Sam we flying just above Steve, Natasha, Scott, Hope and Clint.
Natasha came up beside him and took his hand as he watched his kids head off. "They will be OK. It's you I worry about." Steve just gave her a curios look. "You never have been able to stay out of trouble."
"Maybe so but I worry we will lose them." said a pensive Steve.
Natasha looked at him with a sad smile. "We will just hope for the best."
They just held their hands as they lead their group to the front of the defenders. Steve nodded to T'Challa as he and Nat stood next to him.
"As soon as the Quinjets open up on the enemy from the rear, have your father drop this section of the shield." ordered Steve.
"It will be done. Today we bring peace to our planet and hopefully to the universe." replied T'Challa.
They watched as Thanos's troops started breaching the shield in numbers. The air unit started opening up on them. It was just a minute later that 10 Quinjets appeared behind the enemy and hit them with everything they had. Several enemy ships explode taking a lot of the enemy troops in the explosions. T'Challa ordered the shield lowered and the Wakanda defenders charged.

Phil watched as the Wakanda defense forces started to engage the enemy troops that got past the destruction the air units were causing. There was just too many of them.
S/N
Steve and Natasha worked as a well trained team as they took out enemy troops one after another. They covered each others back and helped the other as needed. The others of their group fought not that far away helping were they could.

James and Sarah had been separated during the fighting. James ended up fighting Obsidian alone. He knew he was no match for the giant of an alien but he would give it everything he had. Obsidian hit James with the pick ax like weapon he welded sending him flying. He hit a tree knocking the tree down on him.
Sarah saw her brother go flying and hit a tree that broke on impact and fell on James. She let out a scream and ran to her twin. Before she could reach him Obsidian stepped in her way. Sarah attacked him in a blind rage. She started to beat him back before she was attacked from behind. She never saw it coming as she was focused on Obsidian.
S/N
Tony watched as the twins were taking out. He had been on his way when he saw James take the hit But was unable to reach Sarah in time. He launched everything he had at the monster that possibly killed his friends kids. Everything hit at once destroying everything in the area. When the dust cleared Obsidian fell to his knees then collapsed dead. Tony landed by Sarah and held her as she spoke her last words.
"Uncle Tony, it hurts."
"Hold on kid. We will get you both help." said a crying Tony.
"No, we knew this might happen. We knew that we were more than likely die in the final battle or just fade away." Sarah coughed up some blood. "Tell Mom and Dad we love them and we left them a message if this was to happen." said a weak Sarah. A few seconds later she stopped breathing. Tony closed her eyes and laid her down next to her twin. He said a quick word over both of them before turning back to the fight.
S/N
All the Avengers heard Sarah's last words. Steve gave out a primal yell before falling to his knees. Natasha ran to his side and wrapped her arms around him. Both had tears running down their cheeks.
The others that were close by them covered them till they could recover enough to fight on. Before either Steve or Natasha recovered there was a beam of blue light that landed just a short distance from the couple. When it faded away Thamos stood there. Seeing Thanos, Steve stood and he and Natasha attacked the man they blamed for the death of their kids.
Thanos had just landed and started to take in the battle when he was hit with Steve's shield followed by another thrown by Natasha. He staggered back and turned toward the direction the attack came from to come face to face with an angry father and mother.
Steve and Natasha attacked Thanos using all their grief and anger to fuel their attack. They hit thanos with the shield first before Steve hit him with a right cross to the jaw. The two fought Thanos as a team they had been for years.
While they fought Thanos Phil called the other Avengers to help the two out. All of the converged on the fight. Phil had never seen the two fight so hard before. He knew they would not stop till Thanos was dead.
As the others arrived they started ganging up on Thanos. Bucky and Rhodes grabbed the arm that had Thanos's gauntlet on it. Tony grabbed the glove and started pulling it off. Steve and Thor helped by holding Thanos so he coulded get away. Natasha jumped on Thanos's shoulders wrapping her legs around his neck. She then drove her widow bits in the side of his head giving him a shock that forced him to lose his grip on the Infinity Gauntlet. Tony with the help of Peter pulled it off.
Once the gauntlet was off. Natasha jumped off. Steve and the others held on to Thanos as Thor hit him in the neck with Stormbreaker. Thanos fell a second later. All the Avengers stood back for a minute before rejoining the fight.

When the fighting was done Steve and Natasha went to the place their children died. Both fell to their knees and cried. Their friends stood behind them has the mourned their lose.
S/N
It was a week after battle. Steve and Natasha laid in their bed at the Wakanda palace. They had buried James and Sarah with the rest of those who died in the battle. They were the only two Avengers to fall. Sam and Clint were in the infirmary but would recover. Bucky had also been injured but had been released the morning of the funerals.
Pepper and Laura had arrived with the kids that she had watched over while the Avengers had been in Wakanda that morning. Both hugged Steve and Natasha before the two parents took their young daughters in their arms.
They laid in the bed with a laptop sitting in front of them. Steve hit played and the two watched as James and Sarah spoke.
"Mom, Dad if you are seeing this then we both fell in battle or just faded away. Tony told us before we came back that we might not be around after the fight was over. We can just hope that Thanos fell too. We don't regret coming back knowing we might not make it. We also knew if we told you that you would try to keep us out of the fight.
If what Tony was right then there is a good chance that you are pregnant Mom or will be in the near future." Both Steve and Natasha looked were their hands laid on Nat's lower abdomen. They had found out the day before that Nat was pregnant with twins. "We want you both too know we love you both and Double Trouble. Hopefully you will be able to explain thigs to them in a few years and they will understand. Take care of each other and out little sisters. Love Sarah and James." Sarah recorded. Natasha buried her face in Steves chest as the two cried.
I know that some of you will be upset that I killed off James and Sarah. I had been toying with this since I first started writing this story. I felt that they did what they set out to do. I also needed a reason for Steve to let his fury be unleashed at Thanos. Because of his anger he and Natasha were able to old off Thanos till the others could arrive to help. So please no flames.
