Part 9

Thor looked confused as he looked at the burning glove on Thanos's hand.


"What did you do?" Thor asked as he looked around.


"What'd you do?!" Thor asked again, instead of an answer, Thanos created a portal and fell through it, leaving Thor's hammer on the ground.


"Where'd he go?" Steve panted. "Thor. Where'd he go?" Steve asked again.


"Steve?" Bucky asked as he walked forward, his arms was turning into dust along with the rest of his body. His gun fell on the ground as Savannah let out a choked cough.


"He did it. He snapped his fingers." Tamara said as she looked over at Savannah.


"Tammy." Savannah called, Tamara looked over to see her best friends legs start to dust.


"Take care of Paul-" Savannah dissolved as Tamara looked to Steve with a horrified expression.


"Wanda!" Tamara yelled, she heard nothing in response. "Wanda! Pietro!" Tamara heard no response.


People began to disappear, and not like Tamara did when she went through portals, but into dust, like how people would when they died.


She heard Rhodey call out for Sam, but she knew he was gone too.


"There gone." Tamara whimpered. "There all gone." She said as she looked up to Steve.


"What is this?" Banner asked


"What the hell is happening?" Rhodey asked.


"Oh, God." Steve panted.

One Week Later.....


"Auntie Tammy?" Paul asked as she held his hand to Sam and Savannah's house.


"Yeah, Paul?" Tamara answered as she pulled out her key and placed it in the lock.


"Where are mommy and daddy?" He asked, Tamara froze with the key in the lock before taking a shaky breath and looking back down to Paul.


She knelt down to his height as she took his hands into hers.


"Mommy and daddy went on a trip...a vacation..." Tamara told him shakily.


"Will they be back soon?" Paul asked with a small smile.


"They'll be back as soon as they can." Tamara told him before getting back onto her feet and opening up the door.


A couple hours after Thanos, Tamara found out why she felt so torn apart on the inside. It was because somehow, Thanos took away her powers.


She tried to make a portal but nothing happen, she tried to scream but it wasn't like her old sonic scream it was like a regular scream.


She didn't really want to know if her quick healing was still there, or go through the lengths to get that answer.


Tamara lost a lot only a week ago, her best friends, her brother, her sister, her boyfriend, she lost half of herself, almost more.


But she still gained in a way that Tamara was ready to think about yet. She gained a house, a kid, and she gained what she hadn't even realized she had yet.


Her phone buzzed and Logan's photo popped up.


Logan


Hey, are you still there? Not a lot of people have made it but if you're there, I'm still here.


Tamara sighed as she answered.


I'm here, but you're right, a lot of people are gone.


Tamara saw that the message was read and three dots arrived.


If you lost anyone, I'm always here to talk. I lost a few as well.


She wasn't completely sure about doing that right now. She felt a tug at her hand as she saw a truck arrive.


She was moving in to keep Paul up and going. And she was going to make sure she did a great job raising him, for Savannah and Sam.


Tamara took in a breath as she walked inside the still furnished house with Paul, he smiled and ran into the kitchen looking for some food as Tamara grabbed a bottle of water.


"It's pretty late, Paul. Why don't you go and get yourself into some pajamas and I'll bring in the boxes." Tamara told him making him whine.


"But it's only six." He said tugging on Tamara cardigan.


"I said get ready for bed, not go to bed. After I get the boxes inside, we can have some dinner, watch a little something and then you can got to sleep. How does that sound?" Tamara asked making her godsons face light up.


"Ok!" He said happily, Tamara smiled and walked out of the house. But paused when she saw Steve standing on the lawn.


Tamara snapped out of the staring contest and walked over to the boxes that the man had already started taking out.


"Need any help ma'am?" The man asked.


"Sure, just leave everything in the front by the door." Tamara nodded with a small smile.


Steve grabbed a box that Tamara was gonna take making her look at him.


"What are you doing here, Steve?" Tamara asked.


"How are you." He asked as she picked up a box and started up the driveway.


"It's been a week, Steve. I feel like shit. Course I can't say that in front of Paul, and I can't have a mental breakdown in front of him either. So Steve, I'm fine." Tamara said as she put a box down in the house as the man walked out.


"You know you can talk to me, about any of it. Your siblings...Paul's parents...Buck-"


"Steve!" Tamara said sternly as she leaned on a box and took a breath.


Ever since that day, Thanos and his stupid fingers, she hasn't said any of their names. It was too early to feel like she hadn't messed up.


"I'll keep in touch, but for now, if you're gonna be here, either help with the boxes, if you want to say hi to Paul you can, but if you just want to talk about that day... I'm not interested." Tamara said.


"Okay...have you seen Tony? By any chance at all?" Steve asked.


"I haven't seen Tony since the Sokovian Accords." Tamara crossed her arms.


Steve sighed in defeat as he started walking out towards the door.


"But.." Tamara stopped him. "Before this whole thing really started, I saw him on the news. Him and that Spider-Man kid went missing the same day Thanos showed up. They might now be here, Steve." Tamara said as Steve nodded.


Paul came down the stairs and grinned when he saw Steve.


"Uncle Stevie!!!" Paul shrieked as he ran up and jumped up to Steves arms.


"Hey, kid." Steve smiled.


"Is he gonna stay and babysit me too?" Paul asked sparking an idea.


Tamara thought for a moment before looking back to Steve.


"I don't know, Paul. You wanna stay and babysit him too?" Tamara asked as Steve chuckled slightly.


"Why not?" Steve answered as Paul shouted out in excitement.


"You can make dinner! Auntie Tammy isn't very good at that." Paul said as he began dragging Steve to the kitchen.


"Hey!" Tamara warned making the two chuckle.


It would take some time to get over Thanos, and everything he did.


But right now, all Tamara needed was Paul and Steve...maybe even Logan too.
