₊❏❜ ⋮ ⌒ JUST AS QUICKLY ... as the heroes had shown up at the Avengers compound, they had been flown out where they would be placed into battle. They had told the Avengers that they were there to save vision, and that's what the Avengers were tasking them with.

Tony and Steve were very much against having them join the battle they knew would be there. ( It was only a matter of time before Thanos and his army showed up like he had promised. ) Natasha, Wanda, Rhodney and Vision all seemed okay with inviting the heroes on this journey.

And the heroes had argued and told all of the adults that they could do it. They've made it to where they are now, they could definitely add one more fight into their schedule.

In their pockets, each and all but one hero had a stone in their pocket. They didn't know where they came from, and it made their fingers tingle with what they assumed was power. It made the tips of their fingers glow with the colour of the stone, but as soon as they removed their hands, the glowing disappeared.    They chose to keep this information to themselves, only telling their fellow heroes of everything.

Charli played with the said stone in his pocket. He liked the tingling feeling he received, it made him feel alive. He couldn't help but wonder why he and his friends had them in their pockets, and why they were given to them. Special.

"Something is wrong." Vision said, turning towards Wanda. The stone in his head flickered before it seemed to disintegrate into dust. He fell to the floor with a thud.

"Help, help." Wanda knelt, eyes frantic as she looked around for anyone to help. Her eyes landed on the heroes, who all sprung up from their seats to help her.

      "What can we do?" Kohana asked kindly, she placed her hands on the side of visions head and helped to keep it steady and straight.

     "Steve, or Tony, or anyone." Wandas voice cracked, eyes flashing red before she sniffled and looked towards her loved one.

     "Help, something wrong." Charli stepped away from the frantic red haired woman and made his way towards where the two drivers where.

    "What happened?" Steve flew from his chair, following behind Charli who sped walked back towards Wanda.

When the two stepped back into the area, vision was sitting up right and holding his arm around Wanda who sniffled against his metal shoulder. He was fine, okay, living without the stone in his head.

      "Woah."

₊❏❜ ⋮ ⌒ GREEN GRASS ... was destroyed almost three hours after the heroes had landed. The person, or alien they called Thanos, had quickly landed with his own army and spread them around with a mission of killing.

The heroes had their own weapons. Liam had been given his taser, one Shuri the princess of Wakanda had given him with many many upgrades. Kohana had been given what looked to be a sword that changed to her liking. Kat had been given a gun that was definitely made for her, it fit perfectly in their hands. And Charli had been given two glove like blasters that slid on like gloves and blasted beams of something at his target.

       "Stay safe, okay?" Charli turned slowly towards his family, his eyes softening when he saw them all send a small smile back towards him. In the distance, ships and such grew tall and readied to attack them and the army Wakanda had so kindly provided for this war.

      "You stay safe too, Char." Kohana wrapped her arms around Charli, taking him by surprise. "I can't lose you too."

Behind a wall, the heroes stood close to where Steve, T'challa, Natasha and many others stood. Whatever was in front of them, the odd creatures that were on a mission to kill them, were charging and killing themselves to get through the barrier keeping them out.

The King, the Black Panther stepped forward, crossed his arms over his chest and let his mask form over his face.

       "Wakanda Forever!"

Everyone charged forward, even the heroes. A strip of the shield opened up and allowed the creatures to pile in. 

Hits where thrown left and right. The heroes used their weapons they held, and helped taken down the creatures that wanted to kill them. Whoever was commanding them knew that the heroes had a few of the stones they needed.     Only the people around them didn't.

Blood spilled in the middle where both teams of the army met. Red, blue, all colours of blood pooled at their feet and stained their shoes a colour.

Minutes later, large wheel like things made their way from the ground and up ontop of the land, running over anything in its path. People died underneath it, both from each army.

The King of Wakanda called out for everyone to fall back, choosing that they could fight them off from somewhere safer.

The heroes were separated.  Charlie with Steve and Vision, Kohana and Kat with Natasha and Wanda, Liam with Thor and Groot.   Those were their partners now, and they had to keep eachother alive.

       "Look out!" Charli pushed vision away from the person, saving his life. Whoever held the sphere believed that vision still had the stone they wanted. But Vision didn't, Charli did.   Charli groaned, looking down slowly to where the sphere the person held was embedded in his stomach. "Oh."

Steve and Vision worked together to kill the person, stabbing them with the same sphere that had stabbed Charli. Once that was done, both Steve and Vision made their way towards where Charli was laying on the dirty ground, hands placed on top of his bleeding wound.

       "Kid." Steve held his own hand over the wound, attempting to help stop the bleeding that wouldn't stop.

      "It's okay." Charli whispered, blood showing at the corner of his lips, a small trail falling down his cheek. He reached into his pocket weakly, holding onto the stone. He pulled it out, keeping it in his hand and allowing it to glow yellow. "I have this."

      "Where did you get it?" Vision asked as Wanda landed on the ground, red magic disappearing as he did so.
  
     "It was in my pocket. I - I just had it when I arrived. Two others have one, Kohana and Kat." Charli blinked slowly, Wanda kneeling beside him and letting her hands glow red. Charli shook his head quickly. "No, don't, it's okay."  Charli knew he would die. He knew it. He closed his hand, the magic that flowed through his veins from the stone allowing him to crush it into many many pieces. "You need to keep my family safe."

The ground shook and Thanos stepped up to the peopel surrounding Charli, who was on the brink of death. He twirled his hand, and rewinded time to when Charli still held the stone that he needed. He had all the other stones.

      "Thank you." His voice was thick, and scary, and cruel. He plucked the stone from Charli who couldn't do anything but let it happen. "For this."

And then he snapped his gauntlets covered fingers, and a flash was quick to spread throughout the world.

Liam stood by Kohana and Kat who had all made their way back to each other.  Liam fell to his knees, a pain blooming in his chest.

      "Guys, hey, hey." His fingers started to turn to dust, and then the rest of his body.

Kohana, and Kat had wanted Liam disappear right before their eyes.

₊❏❜ ⋮ ⌒ TWO DAYS LATER ... Kohana and Kat stood by Charli's grave. Steve had carried his dead body to where they were, and had told them that he died saving the lives of many others. It didn't make the two grieving heroes feel any better. They were still both heartbroken at the loss of Charli and Liam.

      "We won't be able to leave, will be?" Kohana whispered towards Kat who turned towards her.

     "I don't think so,"
