Chapter 76 - Worthy

                                    

                                          
You helped Loki up as Clint remained on the floor, catching his breath as the gauntlet stayed huddled by his side. 
                          
And to your surpise, Nebula was fine, more than fine actually-- she didn't have a scratch on her. 
                          
"Oh, hey," Clint pants out, giving Nebula the glove as she raised it into her arms. Keeping it protectively. 
                          
Her hand went straight to her ear, "Father," She called out, and you swore you heard the records crash. Heads perk up to her but she remained unimpressed, "I have the stones." 
                          
You tilt your head, "What?" 
                          
Her foot went on top of Clint's chest, a gun popping out of no where as it was now pointed to his head, ready to shoot. 
                          
"Stop," Another voice called out, a green woman came, which made Nebula switch positions. Now by Clint's head. 
                          
"You're betraying him," Nebula states in a whisper as a large sound makes way to your hand, revealing a beam of light as her gun was now pointed to you. 
                          
Clint's nose crinkled in disgust as her dirty boot went to his forehead. 
                          
Your mouth fell agape as another Nebula came in, her hands up in a surrendering position as the other Nebula struggles to pick who to point the gun at. 
                          
"You don't have to do this," The Nebula with her arms up spoke up. 
                          
You raise your eyebrows in confusion, "What?" Your voice rang out but it was ignored. 
                          
For a moment, there was a staring competition between the trio. Clint remained in the corner, the gauntlet held closely to his chest. 
                          
Loki stood in front of you, pushing you behind him. His hand making way to your stomach as he kept you from moving forward. 
                          
"Nebula, listen to her," The green-skinned woman pleads, supposedly, Gamora. 
                          
"You can change," The surrendered Nebula spoke, making you squint your eyes with undying confusion. 
                          
A moment of silence was shared as the threatening Nebula's bottom lip started to quiver. 
                          
"He won't let me," She whispered before cocking her gun, pointing it to Gamora who let her hand out. 
                          
"No!" She shouts, but before Gamora was shot-- Nebula fell face flat to the floor. 
                          
In the corner springed out Natasha, who made a hole to Nebula's chest. You jumped at the sound of the bullet as it echoes through the shallow walls. 
                          
"Well, nice to see you too, Nat," Clint spoke up, interrupting the eerie silence that burned your ears. 
                          
"Clint, Loki, find the others," You order, watching as Clint salutes before moving, Loki advancing in front of you, "Yes, I'll keep safe," You told him with a smirk. 
                          
"Was I that predictable?" Loki asks, shrugging to himself before gaining the confidence to give a small kiss to your forehead. Running away quickly after. You felt your cheeks burn, but shrugged it off. This was no time for lovey-dovey madness.
                          
You lent a hand to the green-skinned woman, "Gamora, I bet?" You ask as she nods, shaking your hand, "Nat, you and I are going to have some business with Thanos," You spoke as Gamora and Nebula parted ways. 
                          
She grinned, "Oh, this will be fun, won't it?" She asks. 
                          
You nod, "I'll make sure of it."

Thor shouts in agony as Stormbreaker was now held by Thanos, cutting through his armor and to his flesh as blood seeps out. 
                          
Thanos was interrupted by his body flinging away with mjolnir, freeing Thor out of his grip as it revealed Natasha. Wielding the hammer.
