I do not own the Avengers, this is just my idea for what could happen after Infinity War. I do not know anything about what will actually be in this movie, so none of this is a spoiler. Will be posting chapters every week leading up to the movie. Let me know what you think and if you enjoy writing, follow my meme page on Instagram memesforwriters

Titan

"This is my fault," Tony Stark said, clutching his side. The nanobots that powered his armor were able to stop the bleeding of his wound, taking the shape of stitches and a tight brace around his torso, but there was nothing on Titan that could ease his pain. Half of everyone he had ever loved was gone, and in his heart, he wished he could be amongst them. Nick Fury was right, the only thing worse than death was being one of the last survivors.

Nebula had no response. She was too busy digging through the rubble that littered the abandoned surface of Titan, the once vibrant homeworld of the Mad Titan.

"How are you not hurt?" Stark asked the cyborg daughter of Thanos. "You just watched your friends vanish into nothing."

Nebula turned to him, with a straight face. "They meant nothing to me."

"And what about your sister?" Tony asked. "Gamora, or whatever her name was. You said you cared about her before."

Nebula clenched her fist. "She was the only person in this universe I ever cared about."

"You don't seem upset."

Nebula looked away. "Thanos never taught us to mourn. He turned us into killers, heartless assassins that did as he wished. I no longer feel after all he has done to me. He's taken me apart so many times that I think I'm hardly alive. All that's left of me is a thirst to find Thanos and slit his throat."

"Your a little late," Tony said, letting Peter Parker's ashes blow through his fingers. "It's over."

"Maybe for the dead," Nebula said, lifting a boulder from the moon Thanos had thrown at them to reveal Star Lord's ship, the Milano. "I rather die trying to kill that monster than live the rest of my life knowing he lives peacefully on some farm near the edge of the universe, proud of all the destruction he's caused."

"That's suicide," Tony said.

Nebula shrugged. "You have a better idea?"

"No," Tony said, grimly looking up at the stars, "but perhaps someone on Earth does."

Nebula moved some more rubble of the starship that belonged to the Guardians of the Galaxy. "Even if this wreck could still fly, I wouldn't waste any of my time taking you to that primitive planet."

"Let me take a look," Tony said. "Maybe I can fix it."

Nebula shook her head. "Stupid human, you've never even seen a starship in your life. You can't do anything for the Milano."

"Sounds like a challenge," Tony Stark said, pushing himself up onto his feet with a slight limp. "Tell you what, if I fix this ship you come to Earth with me."

"I'll drop you off at your homeworld, but then I'll be on my way," Nebula said. "The sooner I find Thanos the better,"

"Are you really in such a hurry to die?" Stark asked, dusting off the windshield of the ship. "Some of my friends on Earth are pretty powerful. Maybe we could team up and face this together?"

Nebula just stared for a moment and continued to dig out the ship.

"Seriously, think about it," Tony said, accessing the damage. "If you face Thanos alone now, you die. Come with us and maybe, perhaps you get the chance to kill your father."

"The other man said the odds of that happening were 14,000,605 to one."

Tony shrugged. "If you go yourself, there's no chance at all."

"Why do you care about me," Nebula asked.

Stark shrugged. "I don't even know what you are. All I understand is that you know more about Thanos than anyone else we have. If we are going to beat him, we need all the help we can get.

"We?" Nebula asked, trying to find a way to say what she was thinking in the least brutal manner. "How do we even know your friends survived."

"I'm assuming half the Avengers are still alive, but you're right. There's nothing saying they weren't murdered, or erased by Thanos. I guess all we can do now is go to Earth and find out for ourselves," Tony said, willing the nanobots into the shapes of some pre-programmed tools.

After working on the ship for twenty minutes Tony said. "The thrusters and the control systems were shot, but that was nothing. I did build a pocket-sized arc reactor in a cave surrounded by terrorist after all."

"A what," Nebula asked.

"Nevermind," Tony said, shaking his head. Turning and crouching down by the ship he said, "She just needs to charge up. Be ready to leave within the hour."

Nebula took a seat on the dusty ground across from Tony. "What do we do till then."

"I don't know," Tony shrugged. "I've never done an alien before."

There was no hesitation from Nebula to pull her blaster out and point it at Tony's head.

'No sense of humor. Got it," Tony said, holding his arms up in the air. She still held up the blaster, without a sign of emotion on her face. "Relax, I was kidding. I'm engaged."

Suddenly Tony froze. "Pepper," he whispered. "What if she's gone?"

"Try not to think about it," Nebula said. "There's nothing we can do now."

Tony nodded. An hour later, he and Nebula boarded the Milano to take off on their twelve-hour flight to Earth, where Thanos had instantly snapped his fingers to erase half of all living things in the universe. The Earth they landed on would be so much different than the planet Tony had left just a day ago.
