Notes:
I wanted to write more between these two chapter but I just wasn't coming to me. Maybe a one-shot later.
5 months later
The quinjet landed in Wakanda, as everyone started to disembark. It had been nearly two months since he had been here.
"You nervous?" Natasha asked Steve.
"About the end of the world?" He asked her. She smiled at him.
"About seeing your wife again?" she told him. He smiled.
"No, just wish it was under better circumstances," He said as they walked down the now open ramp, before walking up to T'Challa and his guards.
"Seems like I'm always thanking you for something," Steve said to T'Challa, shaking his hand. Bruce started to bow.
"We don't do that here," T'Challa said to Bruce. He gave Rhodey a dirty look.
"How big of an assault should we be expecting?" T'Challa asked.
"Ah sir, sir, I think quite a big assault," Bruce told him.
"How are we looking?" Steve asked.
"You will have my Kingsguard. The Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje. And…" T'Challa told them as he looked over to Bucky.
"A semi-stable 100-year old man," Bucky said, as he walked up to Steve. Bucky and Steve hugged.
"How have you been, Buck?" Steve asked.
"Not bad, for the end of the world," Bucky said. That was when Steve noticed Rebecca. A smiled went wide across his face. She was standing there, in a long dress, a huge bump in her belly. He quickly pulled her into his arms for a second before both of his hands went to touch her belly.
"How's our little prince?" He asked, leaning down, kissing her belly.
"He's doing well," She told him with a laugh.
"Let's go save the world… for him." He told her as they walked into the building, one arm around her shoulder, and his other hand on her belly. He wasn't sure how things were going to play out and he wanted to be as close as he could be to her while he could.
They watched as Shuri examined Vision, telling them she could remove the mind stone, with time. Suddenly alarms were going off. Okoye went to her kimoyo beads, showing a holographic display of the Earth.
"Something has entered the atmosphere," Okoye said as they watched it.
They all watched from the window as the ship hit the dome, before destroying itself. Another two more landed just outside the city. They all knew a fight was in their future. That was when Vision got off the table.
"It's too late, we need to destroy the stone now," Vision said.
"Vision, get your ass back on the table," Natasha told him.
"We will hold them off," T'challa told the whole room. Steve turned to Wanda.
"Wanda, as soon as that stone's out of his head, you blow it to hell," Steve told her.
"I will," Wanda told him before T'Challa started to bark orders.
"Evacuate the city. Engage our defense and get this man a shield." Steve turned, nodded to T'Challa. He went up to Rebecca, pulling her into his arms.
"I just got here. I wanted some time with you before everything…" Steve admitted.
"Go save the world Steve, and come back to us," Rebecca told him.
"I will. Keep yourselves safe," He said, giving her a quick kiss before leaving her with Shuri, Wanda, and Vision.
She watched the fight from the window as Shuri worked to get the mind stone out of Vision's head. Her eyes couldn't leave the battle as the Outriders attacked, hitting the barricade. She watched as they attacked, so brutal before the shield was opened and they were let in. She watched knowing there was nothing she could do, praying to anything that would listen that Steve would make it out ok, her hand going to her stomach.
"You need him little one... " she said, feeling a tear slip down her face at the carnage below her. She heard, then saw the forest start to collapse as Wanda came to stand next to her as they watched the giant wheels of death come up from under the barrier, now in play on the battlefield.
"Oh god…" Rebecca said.
"I need to help them…" Wanda said, looking at the carnage.
"I'll let you know when Shuri is done, take care of yourself," Rebecca told her. Wanda turned to her as well, hand going to her belly.
"Keep you and that little one safe," She said, as she left to join the battle. Rebecca watched as Wanda used her powers on the field, quickly turning the tide. She smiled, seeing hope, maybe everything would be ok now. That is when she heard the scream of the guard that was protecting the as Corvus Glaive killed them. She watched as several more guards went at him. She didn't even hesitate, pulling a gun off the table, starting to shoot at him, not fazing him one bit as he advanced, hand going out across her cheek, sending her flying across the room, hitting the wall with a sickening thud, as her world quickly went to black.
Steve woke up after being knocked out by Thanos. He was aching all over but he knew, he had to get up, the world was depending on them. He stumbled over to where he saw Thor, and the look on his face wasn't very hopeful.
"Where did he go?" Steve asked before looking around. "Thor where did he go?" He asked again, seeing the devastating look on his friends face.
"Steve…." He heard Bucky say, turning to look at his friend, just in time to watch him fade away into dust. He walked over to where Bucky used to be, kneeling down. He looked over at Thor and knew. He knew. He touched the ground where the remains of Bucky lay, hearing the chaos form all around them. He got up and walked around, before finding Visions body, the mind stone missing. He heard Natasha come up to him, knowing Banner and Thor were there as well. He fell to the ground, exhausted, still not processing it all.
"What is this? What the hell is happening?" He heard Rhodey say.
"Oh god…" Steve breathed out. 'We lost," he thought. Thanos won, they lost. Half the world was gone. No half the universe was just… gone. They where the universe's last hope and they failed them and now all those people… gone. He lost his friends and Bucky… He took in a sharp breath then.
"Rebecca…" he breathed out.
