Endings (Marvel Amy)


Avengers Infinity War: Amelia Carter-Sousa/Steven Rogers/ Grant Ward/Brock Rumlow

“Everyone on my position, we’ve got incoming,” Steve’s voice came through the comms.

Amy looked around the battlefield for Grant, Brock, and one Bucky Barnes. As she spotted her two soulmates, and Steve’s best friend, she lifted the three of them into the air. As they all flew through the sky into the woods, which surrounded the capital of Wakanda, Amy felt a horrible feeling in her gut.

“It’ll be alright, sweetheart. Don’t worry so much,” Brock commented as he looked at his petite wife.

Brown met brown and brown, as she looked from Brock to Grant. The three of them all felt worry in their hearts, this battle had been building up since Loki’s invasion of Manhattan six years ago. The same battle that brought Amy, Grant, Brock, and Steve together as a foursome.

With keen eyes, the Inhuman female spotted her super soldier soulmate. She brought the three men with her down for a landing. “Brace yourselves,” she said quietly as she landed on the forest floor. Grant, Brock, and Bucky still hovered only a few inches above the ground before she released her telekinetic hold on them.

With small steps, Amy stood on Steve’s left, her hand grasped his tightly. Fear creating trembles through her body.

Steve squeezed her hand, as they watched and waited for the arrival of Thanos.

“Steve,” she faintly got out. Her voice caught in her throat. Tears filled her eyes as a sense of dread consumed her body.

Captain America turned his head to look at his wife. There were no words to comfort her or even reassure of their survival. Instead, he pressed his forehead to hers, in hopes that she would find peace in these last few moments.

As he pulled away, Brock and Grant joined them. Together the foursome stood together. A picture of calm and strength as they waited.

It was a short wait. A breeze from seemingly nowhere caught Steve’s attention. As a group, the Avengers excluding Wanda and Vision turned to see a giant wrinkled purple being step out a portal that resembled the kind the tesseract created.

“Steve, that’s him,” Bruce Banner’s voice gravely called out through comms.

Steve activated the new shield from T’challa. Then as a group, the Avengers ran to take on the alien set on destroying the world. Bruce took the lead, only to be sent flying and embedded in a rock bed. Grant threw a hellfire chain, like a lasso to wrap around Thanos. Only for it to be destroyed.

Hellfire was thrown into a tree, which split in half upon the impact. Rocket Racoon, Falcon, and War Machine threw all kinds of firepower in rockets, short range miniature missiles, and bullets. Nothing worked, it bounced off some sort of invisible shield that surrounded Thanos.

Nat and T’challa’s general of Midori Ana threw their staff and spears only for them to bounce off. Amy flew into the air and lifted several trees from the roots up with her telekinesis. She broke them into sharpened spears and aimed at Thanos. They proved to be ineffective, disintegrating. Before she too was thrown into a tree not too far from Hellfire.

Amy gasped as she landed on the ground with a loud thud, her eyes locked onto Grant’s whiskey colored eyes. She reached a hand out to find one of Grant’s. Tightly she held it, as her eyes fluttered closed. She knew the others were trying their hardest to take out Thanos, they needed the help.

Together, she and Grant climbed back to their feet, his hands on top of her shoulder. With a nod, Amy and Grant turned to see Steve against Thanos.

Grant threw another hellfire chain, this one closer to the ground to wrap around his ankle. Amelia used the vines and other flora to snake itself around Thanos like a rope. Together they pulled tautly on their ropes.

Thanos jerked back only a few inches, but he flexed his muscles. The hellfire chain and flora ropes snapped like rubber bands. The couple flew back onto the ground from the force of the snap.

A groan left Amy’s lips as she landed on her back, hard. Someone landed not too far to Amelia’s right, she looked over to see it was Steve. She flipped onto her front and crawled over towards the final soulmate she found, but the one she knew of first.

“Steve,” she gasped out as she reached his side. One hand on his cheek.

“I’m okay, Amy,” he replied as he sat up.

She helped him to his feet, before she went to Grant’s side. She pulled on his arms, forcing him to sit up. With a groan he stood up. “Where’s Brock?” he asked.

Brown eyes looked around for Crossbones. She spotted him not too far. Together, Amy and Grant made their way over to Brock. Just as they reached Brock, an explosion of golden light fell around the area. Amelia closed her eyes against the blinding light.

Hesitantly after a few minutes, she opened her eyes. “Brock,” she softly called as she looked at him.

“I’m alright, sweetheart, save your worrying,” he replied.

Together the trio moved to join Steve, but before they reached their fourth soulmate. The golden light erupted once more. With closed eyes, Amy turned her head into Grant’s chest to avoid the brightness.

“What did you do? What did you do?” Thor demanded loudly.

Amy looked for Steve, she saw him in on the ground. He wasn’t too far from where Thanos stood with Thor. An axe in the purple aliens chest. The hand which wore the golden gauntlet now black and smokey as if it had been burned.

“Steve,” Bucky called out as he approached his friend.

Amy and Steve turned to look at Bucky. After two steps his new mechanical arm disintegrated into ash. Only seconds later his body did the same. A gasp fell from Amy’s lips as a pain hit her. Heart clenched, as if someone had ripped it from her chest.

“Amy.”
“Sweetheart.”

Two voices, called out. Amy and Steve turned to see Grant and Brock dissolve.

“No no no!” Amy cried as she tried to grab onto Brock’s hand.

Just as her fingers brushed against his, a pile of ash fell onto her fingers.

“NO!” the shout fell from her lips as she fell to her knees. The pain in her heart grew as she looked at the piles of ash that belonged to two of her three soulmates. Two of her husbands gone like smoke in the wind.

Arms wrapped around her shaking body. Sobs fell from her lips at the loss of her husbands. How could they have disappeared? Where had they gone?

So many questions but no answers filled her thoughts. Blinded by her tears she had no idea where Steve was. Gasping breaths left her lips. The arms that held her, hugged her tightly. Sobs that didn’t belong to Amy joined hers, sobs that sounded familiar.

A/N: I wrote this literally when I got home from seeing Infinity War on April 27th. I've been sitting on this for awhile and with the digital release of Infinity War just last week, I figured now would be a good time to post. I want to delve more in this soulmate quad. Yes, they are all soulmates and it is AU, I'll hopefully post more soon!
