United We Stand (Avengers short story)

"Together."

Thanos had the nano guantlet.

Everybody was panicking, as the mad Titan lifted his hand to snap.

Tony looked over at Dr. Strange.

The sorcerer lifted up his index finger and mouthed, "One." Referring to their only chance, out of 14,000,605, to win.

Tony knew what he had to do. He launched at the Titan and started tugging harshly at the guantlet, trying to remove it from the villain's hand.

Thanos punched Tony, causing him to fall on the ground a few feet away from him.

"I am inevitable." Thanos said, as he snapped his fingers. But nothing happened.

He turned his hand to find the Infinty stones gone.

He looked at Tony.

He was on his knees, lifting up his hand while the stones took their places on his suit.

Before Tony could snap, he heard Quill yell for him in the distance.

"STARK, WAIT!" He yelled, running over to him.

Peter held his hand, feeling the stones' energy flow through him.

He let his other arm out for someone to grap it.

Soon, every hero on the battlefield formed a perfect circle in the rubble.

As Thanos started to leap forward to garp the stones, Carol held him in a headlock to stop him.

Tony looked around him and found everybody holding each other's hands, letting the energy travel into their body.

He startels when he feels someone grasping his right arm, the one with the stones embedded in, they interlock their fingers and raise their hands.

Steve held Tony's right hand, and gave him a sharp nod.

Iron man relaxes a bit, slowly feeling the energy disperse from his body and crawl into the heroes bodies.

"Together." Captain America mouthed.

He slowly lets go of Tony's fingers, but left his hand on the other's forearm.

Iron man looks Thanos dead in the eyes wishing for him and his armies to disappear.

"And we...are...the Avengers." He said, and snapped his fingers, turning the villains to nothing but dust.
