Vision of Death and Destruction

You are almost to your room when your head starts to pound even harder. It's blinding, it hurts so bad.
Suddenly there is an image in your head. It's a battle ground you don't recognize, it is vast and has tall dry grass for what seems like miles. You see mountains in the distance and green trees surrounding  the grassy plain. If you had to guess, you would say an African plain. You hear fighting behind you and turn around to look. It's all of your friends and more that you don't recognize. They are fighting hundreds of four armed creatures. A tall figure steps in front of you and grabs your arm.
"Thanos will be pleased that I've found you. He will have the last of the Stones now and he will be able to complete his plan."

You fight but she is much stronger than you. " I've told your ugly friends once before and I'll say it again. I'm never going with him, I will never help him. I would rather die first."

Proxima Midnight tilts her head to the side a little. " It does not matter to Thanos either way."  She tightens her grasp on your arm and pulls you closer. With her other hand she punches your chest, you can feel her digging her claws into you deeper and deeper. You struggle to breath.The pain is unbearable, you look down and see the blood flowing from the hole she is creating, you can feel her grab your spine and pull. As you start to fade away, you can see the Mind Stones in her hand.

You collapse in the hallway from the pain in your head. Thor finds you a little while later and rushes to you.

"Lady Monroe, are you ok? Can you hear me?" You do not respond to him, he scoops you up and rushes to the Med Bay. He hollers to JARVIS as he goes.
" JARVIS, alert the others that they are needed in the Med Bay for an emergency ."

"Yes, sir. The others have been alerted and are on their way." JARVIS replies.

Bruce and Steve reach the Med Bay first as Thor approaches holding your limp body in his arms. Steve immediately rushes to Thor's side.

"What happened?" He asks Thor while following him into the Med Bay.

Thor lays you down and steps back allowing Bruce to start examining you. " I don't know. I was retiring to my chamber after lunch when I came upon her unconscious in the hallway by her room. I tried waking her but she would not wake. So I grabbed her and came here, that's when you came upon us."

By now the rest of the team has gathered in the room waiting for answers. Steve turns to the others. " Has anyone seen her in the last few hours?"

Nat speaks first. " Yes, Clint and I had talked to her maybe 20-30 minutes ago. She said she was going back to her room, she was complaining of a sudden headache."

Everyone watches as Tony and Bruce are examining you trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong. Tony breaks away and approaches the team. " Well so far everything checks out fine. There is nothing immediate to explain why she is still unconscious or why she collapsed. All we can do is wait."

Loki has quietly entered the Med Bay and is standing back from the group. Clint turns and takes notice. He silently steps back from the rest and approaches Loki. " You don't deserve to be here. If I find out that you had anything to do with this, there will be no where you can hide that I won't find you and kill you." He says under his breath seething with anger.

It's been two hours since Thor brought you to the Med Bay. Everyone is still in the room, refusing to leave until you wake up. Steve and Tony are at your side holding your hands. You suddenly grab your chest and start to scream. Steve grabs your hands and tries to calm you.

"Lark, you're ok. You're safe." He's rubbing your forehead trying to get you to open your eyes.

You open your eyes and sit up gasping for air and holding your chest. You start feeling around your chest and looking for blood.

Steve places his hands on your face and turns your head to look you in the eyes. "Lark, you're ok. We're here, you're safe."

You meet Steve's gaze and reality starts to set back in. You grab Steve and bury your face in his chest and cry. "It felt so real. They were everywhere, we couldn't stop them!"

Tony touches your hair, smoothing it out. " Who Lark? What felt real?"

You pull away from Steve. " Thanos! It was a huge battle, there were so many we couldn't stop them. Then she grabbed me. She ripped them out of me, I felt all of it, I was dying."

Thor speaks up. "They tore the Stones from your body?"

You look at him and shake your head yes. "I watched her pull part of my spine through my chest. I saw myself bleed out as she pulled them from me. I could feel it, all of it."

Everyone gasps at the thought of the horror and pain you experienced, Nat gasps and covers her mouth stifling a cry. Steve pulls you in closer and holds you tight, trying to hold back the tears that wanted to form in his eyes. They were a mixture of pain and anger.

Tony is sitting next to you on the bed rubbing your back. "I know it felt real but it wasn't, it was a vision and one that we won't let happen."

You wipe the tears from your face and look at Tony. "I'm beginning to wonder if that's true. You should have seen his army. We were so out numbered and it didn't look good." You are still exhausted and start to slump against Steve a little. Steve looks up at Bruce.
" Bruce, is she ok to leave? I think she would be better in her own room."

Bruce nods his head. " Yeah of course, she's healthy from what we can tell. But maybe don't leave her alone for a while."

Steve puts his arms under you and scoops you up, cradling you against his chest. "I'll stay with her tonight." You wrap your arms around his neck and lay your head on his chest with your eyes closed.
