CHAPTER 5
Our heroes collect themselves from their loss, with Mantis propping up Quill, Peter helping Stark up to his feet, Drax and Nebula limping over on their own, and Wade's body finally reaching his head.
"Don't just stand there. Pick me up, willya," Wade's head told his body.
As his body sat down and picked up his head, Mantis said "Something's… happening," then suddenly disintegrates into ashes. Quill looks behind and sees just as Mantis disappeared, Drax is disintegrating as well and asks "Quill?" before he disappears.
Quill stares back at Stark in horror. Stark slowly panics as Quill also slowly fades away. "Steady, Quill."
"Oh, man," Quill's final words before he too disintegrates into ashes.
Just before Wade could reconnect his head back onto his body, his head falls through his disintegrating body and onto the ground. "No, no, No, No, NO, NO, FUCK YOU THANOS!"
"Tony," Strange calmly says as Stark looks back at him. "There was no other way," as he disintegrates as well.
"Mr. Stark?" Peter asks, as he realizes he's about to disintegrate as well, "I don't feel so good…"
Stark approaches Peter, trying to calm him down, with his own voice shaking as he looks at Peter in terror "You're all right?"
"I don't know what's- I don't know what's happening. I don't-" Peter says, stumbling and terrified, as he falls into Stark's arms, clutching him tight while beginning to cry. "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, Mr. Stark, please. Please, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go…" Peter then fell to the ground and whispered "I'm sorry," before disintegrating into ashes in Stark's arms.
As Stark stares at his ash-coated hands in disbelief, he mourns silently at their failure, and Nebula quietly says "He did it," with Wade's disembodied head sadly watching nearby.
...Deadpool will return.
