Grace say grace will die, rocky fix.

You knew how things were going to end. You saw it coming, when you saw wanda get defeated by Thanos, a realization dawned on you so strong it almost knocked the air out of your lungs. But you still pushed through, you fought like you weren't about to die. 

You slice through the neck of the alien, watching the body drop to the floor, your chest heaves, your legs wobbly with exhaustion. It feels like this war has been going on for years, decades. 

Even with all the people on our side coming back from being blipped, it isn't enough, it will never be enough. 

Thanos is just too strong, too eager to get the destruction he has been craving. 

You spot Bucky fighting alongside Rocket, you make your way over to him, when he notices you his face softens, eyes scanning you for injuries. 

“Are you okay baby?” he says frantically when you fight through more enemies, you pull him into a hiding spot under a piece of shrapnel. 

He hugs you, strong. You only lost him for about 15 minutes, but they felt like the longest minutes of your life. 

Your arms wrap around his neck, savouring his scent, savouring the feeling of being in his embrace. 

“I love you so much, buck.” you say into his neck, he breathes a deep breath. 

“I love you more.” he says as you pull away, an explosion from near you snaps the moment in two, you give him one last look before you walk back onto the battlefield. 

You duck as an explosion sends shrapnel flying your way, missing you by a strand of hair. 

You look up to see Tony on the floor next to Thanos, clutching a wound through his destroyed suit. 

Something in your mind snaps, you push your legs forward, sprinting up behind him. He has no time to react before you're on his back, you claw at the gauntlet. Seconds later he throws you off, you go flying, hitting the ground hard enough your ribs break. 

“I am… inevitable.” Thanos says as you pull yourself up to your knees. Your chest heaves as he snaps his fingers, but nothing happens, because they are on you. the suit you and Tony made together aligning the infinity stones on your hand. You feel a surge of mind blowing power through your whole body, the power of everything surges through your bones as you glare at him with agony filled eyes. 

“NO!” Bucky says from the side, you look at him with a soft expression, your face filled with so much love, before you snap your fingers, there's a flash of white light before there's quiet, in your mind and in the world.

You watch through blurred vision as Thanos drops to his knees, disappearing in a cloud of dust, along with half the battlefield. 

You stumble backwards, leaving against some shrapnel as you feel the life drain out of you. 

Bucky drops to his knees next to you, already sobbing, his shaky hands hovering over your body. 

You look over at him slightly, that alone tries you out. 

“Why did you do that…. Baby please dont leave me..” he sobs, his head resting on your chest as you go. 

“Our time will come soon..” you say, barely audible, the only thing your vocal cords can muster. 

Bucky watches the life drain out of the woman he loves, he watches your chest stop rising and falling, he checks your pulse, gone. 

He stares wide eyed at your body, your lifeless eyes, missing that spark he fell in love with, your skin missing its colour, its life. Because you are gone, and you can't come back. 

You sacrificed yourself for the world, a world that has treated you awfully, you died, for a world that never really wanted you. 

Because that's who you were, you were a hero. 

And that's who Bucky will always remember you as, as he watches you smile at him from the stars.
