❝ Avengers, assemble!❞

Without knowing it she had walked to Natasha's room, the blond woman stood infront of it staring at the grey door before she slowly open it. Anastasija let out a loud sob as she eyed the big room, the sun shone through the large window front and bathed everything in a beautiful yellow light.

The Russian made her way through the room as she let her gaze wander around, at last she stopped infront of Natasha's night stand and grabbed the picture of the two that stood there.  She let her finger softly trace over the frame of the picture, they both smiled at the camera as they held a beer bottle in the air.

Ana sniffed as she turned around, walked to the middle of the room and  fell onto her knees heavily crying, "I can't— You can't— You can't be dead!"

The tears streamed down her face again as she let out a scream, in that moment she could suddenlyhear a voice, "Hey, hey, hey. Ana!"

But the woman didn't care she pressed the picture to her chest as she sat on the ground crying loudly. Then two hands cupped her face softly, "Hey, look at me."

Ana finally looked up at Steve who now sat right infront of her. "It not fair", she sniffed as she shook her head.

"Yes, it's not fair", Steve agreed with her quietly, "— but she wouldn't want you to cry. She would've want you to get up and finish what we started. She wanted you to bring everybody back and then get the life you always wanted."

Anastasija's gaze fell onto the picture again, as she repeated her words from earlier, "It was supposed to be me."

"What does that mean?", Steve questioned her as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "I was already falling off the cliff", the Russian told him as she starred into the distance. "But she jumped after me", she let out a chuckle as she let the picture slide to the ground.

They then looked at each other, "I told her to tell you that I love you too, but she said that I should tell you myself."

The tears made their way down her cheek again, "As selfish as is sounds, I'm glad you're here with me", Steve said as he brought her into a tight hug. The woman grabbed onto his arm while he softly stroked her head. Anastasija didn't even really realised that as she stared straight ahead muttering, "Whatever it takes."

After a moment Anastasija had calmed down and the two slowly stood up, Ana went into the bathroom to wash her face but in the progress she accidentally spilled water on her uniform, so the woman tried to make it dry with a towel.

She patted the her chest with the towel as she suddenly felt something weird in her chest pocked. The woman laid the towel to the side as she reached into her pocket.

Her eyes immediatley grew wide as she recognized Natasha's sliver necklace in her hand. The readhead had wore it since they could remember.

A small smile made it's way onto her face as she brushed over the necklace. A quiet chuckle escaped her lips as she quickly put it around her neck.

Natascha must have hid it in her pocked as the two had fought on Vormir.

In the meantime Tony, Rocket and Bruce had gathered and were preoccupied with connecting the stones and the glove with each other.

After one or two hours the three finally joined the others, who already all stood in the meeting room waiting for them.

Rocket was on the table and looked down at the red and silver glove, "All right, the glove's ready. Question is, who's gonna snap their freakin' fingers?"

Anastasija stood next to the table as her attention was drawn towards Thor, "I'll do it." The God quickly approched the glove, but he was stopped by the others.

"Excuse me?", Tony asked him surprised but Thor lifted his hands, "It's okay."

But the Tony and Steve both raised their hands and pushed him back from the table, "Stop, stop. Slow down!"

"Thor, just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet", Steve told him determined.

"I'm sorry. What, we're all sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?", the God asked them annoyed and angry. Scott eyed him, "We should at least discuss it."

"Look, sitting there staring on the thing is not gonna bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty—", but Tony interrupted him as he stepped in front of the blond man, "Normally, you're right. It's not about that."

Thor shushed him as he got louder, "Stop it! Just let me!" But Tony shook his head at the same time, "Hey buddy—", Thor grabbed him by the shirt as tears whelmed up in his eyes, "Just let me do it. Just let me do something good. Something right."

"Look, it's not just the that that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a continent. I'm telling you, you are in no condition."

"What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?", Thor asked him with narrowed eyes.

"Cheek Whiz?", Rhodey asked him sarcastically as he stood next to Anastasija looking at the God.

Thor gave him a annoyed look before he tapped against Tony's chest, "Lightning."

"Lightning won't help you, pal", Bruce spoke up for the first time. "It's gotta be me."

Thor let go of Tony and shook his head. "You saw what those stones did to Thanos. They almost killed him. None of you could survive", Bruce told them as he walked towards the glove.

"How do we know you do?", Anastasija asked him with a worried expression on her face.

The green giant shook his head as he eyed the glove, "We don't. But the radiation's mostly gamma. It's like— I was made for this." He slowly grabbed it from the table and walked towards the middle of the room, "Good to go?", Tony asked him curious.

"Let's do it."

"Okay, remember, everyone Thanos snapped away give years ago you're just bringing them back to now, today.  Don't change anything from the last five years", Tony explained to him as he leaned against a table.

"Got it."

They all activated their suits and protection shield's while Tony grabbed Anastasija and Clint and placed them behind his shield.

"Friday, do me favor and activate Bar Door Protocol, will ya?", Tony asked as he looked around.

"Yes, boss", a couple of thick metal walls immediately went down and even the roof went dark which meant the hole building was secured.

Anastasija gaze moved from the celling to Bruce who now looked down at the glove in his hand, "Everybody comes home."

He then slowly put on the glove and as it was finished wrapping around his arm little coloured energy strings made their way up his green arm, making Bruce groan in pain as he fell onto his knees.

"Take it off! Take it off!", Thor shouted at the man as Ana watched Bruce, just wanting to rip that damn glove off of his hand.

Steve raised his arm, "No, wait. Bruce are you okay?" Bruce let out a scream as he yanked his head up, "Talk to me Banner!", Stark demanded worried.

Bruce let out another scream before he grunted, "I'm okay." He then grabbed onto his arm with his left hand and screamed again before he finally snapped with his fingers.

His eyes immediately rolled back and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Bruce!?"

Clint quickly kicked the glove away as the others sat down besides the green big man, "Don't move him!" Bruce suddenly grabbed onto Steve's arm as he heavily breathed out, "Did it work?"

"We're not sure. It's okay", Thor assured him with a small smile.

The metal door slowly opened and and Scott walked into the next room. A phone quietly buzzed in the backgrounds and Clint slowly walked towards a table that stood in a corner.

Anastasija stood up as well while her gaze wandered back and forth in between Scott and Clint.

Clint had just answered his call and Anastasija could just hear him repeated the words, "Honey", over and over again.

She turned towards Scott who stood in front of a big window front looking outside as he started chuckling, "Guys, I think it worked!"

A smile made it's way onto Anastasija's face, she turned towards Steve and wanted to say something but in that moment something hit the building and triggered a big explosion that let the floor under their feets disappear.

Anastasija's eyes widened in shock as she fell, watching all the debris fall besides, abover and beneath her.

After a moment, that felt like hours the woman hit the ground and lost consciousness.

Her eyelids slowly fluttered open as Anastasija let out a loud groan sitting up. Her suit was completely dirty and every single bone in her body hurted.

She also got a major headache which made her groam again. She then suddenly heard someone else groan besides her wich made her head snap towards the sound.

Not far from her laied Clint who now stood up and let out another grunt. He pointed his flashlight towards the opening above them but there was nothing except for debris.

He then finally saw her and immediately approched the woman, "Ana, your okay?"

She nodded slowly as he helped her up into her feet. "I feel like every bone in my damn body is broken", she let out as she leaned against the wall besides her.

Clint let out a snorte as he looked up again, "Cap!?"

"They're not going to hear us", Anastasija told them as they both made thier way towards a tunnel.

Clint crouched down onto his knees as he rolled away a couple of tiny stones. "I found the glove", he informed her as he held up the metal glove.

Anastasija nodded her head at him and wanted to make a sarcastic comment but in that moment the two heard a growl in the distance.

They exchanged a look as Clint slowly garbbed an arrow from his quiver and turned towards Anastasija. He aimed at the tunnel behind her and shot the arrow which lit up the tunnel as it flew through it.

The Russian's eyes widened as she saw the creatures that climbed on the walls of the tunnel growling as they approched them in the darkness.

"Okay, run", Anastasija exclaimed before the two quickly turned around and started running trought the flat water.

Anastasija could hear them right behind them screaming as she run after Clint breathing heavily.

The only thing that lit up the dark tunnels was the red dim light that fell onto the two friends as they run through the water, the creatures right behind them snarling loudly.

Clint threw an arrow against the wall as they contiued their way. As soon as the two had rounded the corner a big explosion went of and threw them through the air. The two collided with the floor as they grunted, Clint still holding on to the glove.

But they quickly stood up as the beasts started to approach them again, Clint quickly shot and arrow at the celling before he placed a hand arounds Ana's waist. The russian quickly held onto him as they were pulled up.

The alined followed them but Anastasija grabbed a couple of lives from her held and threw them at the creatures killing them.

The two finally arrived at the next etage as another one jumped up making Clint kill it with his sword as he let out a yell. They both laid on the floor breathing heavily and groaning in pain as they suddenly saw Nebula approching them.

"Oh hey. I know you", Clint let out as he looked at the blue skinned woman above them. He handed her the glove and nodded as Nebula touched her temple.

"Father, I have the stones."

Anastasija eyes grew wide as Clint's head shot up, "What?!"

The blond russian immediatley jumped onto her feet, ignoring the pain as she swung her fist at the blue woman but Nebula avoided her attack and grabbed for her gun.

But as she wanted to point it at the russian, the blond woman grabbed her arm and pushed it aside while she tried to hit her the gun out of the hand.

Nebula kicked her hardly into the stomach which made Anastasija stumble back while she pointed the gun at her, but she was interrupted by a green skinned woman who had also a gun in her hand.

"Stop!"

The two looked at each other seriously, "You're betraying us?", Nabula asked her her gun still pointed at Anastasija. Clint quickly stood up from the floor and joined Anastasija as he watched the two women carefully.

Suddenly another Nebula appeared out if the shadows making the blue woman point her gun at her. "You don't have to do this."

"I am this."

The green woman shook her head, "No, you're not."

"You've seen what we become", the good Nebula wanted to convince her old selfe. A tear leaked from the blue woman's eyes as she looked at her sister, "Nebula, listen to her."

"You can change!" Gamora let her gun down as the old Nebula looked at the two a sad look on her face, "He won't let me."

She pointed her gun at Gamor and wanted to shoot her but the good Nebula shot her first making the woman fall to the ground, dead.

Anastasija then slowly took a step forward and grabbed the glove again as she gave Clint a look and carefully handed him the thing as she nodded her head.

The two then quickly made their way outside were they saw that all the Avengers had lined up, everyone was there. Wanda, Sam, T'Challa and Peter, a wide smile made it's was onto Anastasija's face as she approached them with Clint looking at the creatures.

Steve heavily breathed out as he looked at Thanos, "Avengers, assamble!"

They all let out battle cry's and started running towards the army that approached them as well. She quickly drew her knives as she slaughtered everything that tried to attack her and Clint on their way through the debris and ruins of their former headquarter.

"Steve, what do you want us to do with that damn thing!?", Anastasija asked him as they contiued running.

"Get those stones as far away as possible!", he immediately answered them loudly.

"No, we need to bring them back where they came from", Banner spoke up and Anastasija sighed as she just stepped anothet creature that came towards them.

"No way, Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel", Tony infromed them before Scott spoke up, "Hold on! That wasn't out only time machine!"

Suddenly a horn started playing loudly the sound of 'La Cucaracha' which made Anastasija furrow her eyebrows.

"Anyone see an ugly brown van out there?", Steve's voice asked them through their earbuts'.

"Yes, but you're not gonna like where it's parked!", someone's voice answered him.

"Scott how long you need to get that thing working?"

"Ugh, maybe ten minutes", the man answerd Tony hesitantly.

"Get it started. We'll get the stones to you", Steve instructed him as Anastasija just saved Clint from being eaten, again. 

"We're on it, Cap."
