Annabeth Chase and the Avengers

Doctor Strange Fixes the Fourth Wall

Okay I couldn't stand knowing how I ruined my own fanfic so #DuctTapeFourthWall and let's get right into this!

📚📚📚

Doctor Strange

Steven watched with a disapproving expression as he watched the aftermath of the war.

"I'm not sure if I can retain my sanity, knowing this happened. The fourth wall MUST be restored!" Steven muttered to himself.

A small, round pendant hung from his neck, and, with a series of intricate hand movements, the pendant opened, revealing the sparkling green Time Stone, pulsing with power. Green mist swirled around Steven's fingertips, and a flash of green light, and everything faded...

Annabeth

"PIPER!" Annabeth screamed, slicing three monsters that stood between her and her recently-returned best friend. Percy was by her side, and Jason was behind them, his face filled with rage as he made a mad dash to his girlfriend.  

A bald eagle swooped down and morphed into Frank, as he charged alongside Jason. Hazel rode upon Arion, Leo screaming and clutching onto the daughter of Pluto's waist.

"Stop!" Thanos boomed, pressing his sword against her throat. "Or the girl dies."

The six skidded to a halt. Arion nickered nervously, his hooves tapping the ground. 

"What do you want?" Jason spat, facing Thanos. 

"Surrender, and the girl lives." Thanos said simply.

"Don't do it!" Piper screamed, before Thanos traced a thin line of blood across her neck, tiny droplets of blood hitting the ground. 

"Your choice." 

Jason and Frank looked torn. Percy wore a face of indecision, fighting an internal battle with his fatal flaw. Hazel was crying, with Leo gripping her shoulder comfortingly. Annabeth was desperately calculating all the possible battle scenarios. 

Annabeth glanced around. Half the gods fought the Titans, and the gods were losing strength. The other gods and several demigods fought the Giants, and the Avengers, Wakandans, Asgardians, enherjar, and magicians were struggling to hold off the endless tide of soldiers. Doctor Strange and the Masters of the Mystic Arts were keeping the lake at bay, unable to help further. Poseidon was too busy with the Giants to help. Thanos' ship was working overtime, transporting more and more enemies to the surface, and dracaena, cyclops, as well as other monsters were charging towards them from the other side, trying to close them in.

Annabeth turned back to Percy.

The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap. Olympus, to preserve or raze.

Percy

Percy was torn. 

Torn between Piper, and the world.

All around them, battle raged. Death and destruction, everywhere.

Was it worth it?

All this fighting, when they could just end the battle with a single snap?

No more battles. Just peace. Never knowing what they had lost.

Could he really make the choice, to take Jason's life away? When he had just gotten it back? When they had all just gotten it back?
