Chapter 115
Captain Steve look at me in tatters, injured, my one arm is burned with purple veins crawling reaching my shoulders.
I don't have to say so much things as Captain Steve understood what is happening and what must be done but the feeling of losing someone they cared about still affected even the man who had strong convictions.
I raised my other hand which is all right and tap his shoulder. Others just watched on the side but refrained from speaking anything, though they saw me on my current condition.
" Captain, the world is now in chaos. 'Our' …responsibility as Earth's mightiest heroes isn't done yet. The world lost the war, but it still has a leader. The world must have a guide, a guide with hope. Some people who will take advantage of the world's chaotic situation."
I stared at his eyes, we both saw deeper that we are all the same, tired and wanted a rest…but I continued " A hope. There will be hope, we temporarily lost the battle but we must prepare for war, we did not lose all of us."
We all looked at each other and nodded to each other. Thor seriously agreed as he still at a lost about his failure, he thinks it is his responsibility. His failure that costed everyone to fail and causing Thanos to succeed in snapping his fingers.
We all look at Captain America with resolve. Captain's Steve stood straight like a commander ready to command his subordinates. As a Captain, he has the responsibility to lead and guide not only the heroes but the people who have lost their ways.
The world; the universe rather is in chaos, the heroes failed to foil the way of blocking Thanos' plans.
Captain Steve resolutely commanded " Rhody, connect to the military. The Avengers is on initiative as an organisation, we serve no one and only focus on protecting the peace of the world."
" Yes, Captain." Rhody might receive a complicated order and the procedure might be difficult to finish but there is no timeline for his command.
Captain Steve glanced at Natasha wanting to open his mouth but Natasha already opened hers.
Natasha " I'll connect to the SHIELD."
Captain Steve nodded " While the rest, we are responsible for enforcing the law around the world, silence those with voices that conveys conflicts and more chaos. Lead the people to help themselves and their neighbours to stop turmoils from their own communities."
" Kill those who desire unspeakable crime and terrorism, the current world must need a peaceful voice of the law enforcement but… some had to be a forceful bullet." Steve's eyes are tint with coldness when he spoke those words. He may be a hero who lead justice and good heart but he is a soldier first; a man before becoming a hero and saviour.
" Yes, Captain! "
Thor nodded and replied a few words before he took off " I'll let the Asgardian provide a hand."
Captain Marvel aka Carol Denvers interrupted the discussion as she blurted out what should be done " Wait, shouldn't we first find Thanos? The infinity stones is with him, we take the stones, kill him and bring everyone back."
Rocket responded with his classic sarcastic remarks " You're right woman, we should do that, except we have done that exactly but failed and you are aware what happened when Thanos snap his fingers. His arm is burned by the immense power and the gauntlet melted on his skin. He must have already escaped out there hiding with the use of space stone and don't forget. Don't forget, the time stone can reverse his body to peak state."
Rocket got emotional specially since Groot is also included to the snap.
Captain Steve didn't took Rocket's words to heart as he ask " Don't take his words literally, he is just emotional. Please understand. By the way, what is your name and are you also a human?"
Captain Marvel responded with just glance but in her mind, she took Rocket's words. No matter what his tone when he said it. He spoke facts and truths as she also witnessed everything that happen.
" Captain Steve, I've heard of you. You may call me Carol or Carol Denvers. I'm a human, a pilot exactly who have been involved to extraterrestrial with Nick Fury. I roam the universe, thats all I can talk about right now."
Captain Steve nodded as he doesn't have any obligation to investigate someone who have help them fight Thanos and his army while protecting the world. Specially, those inside Nick Fury's circle.
Okoye, who have been watching the discussion at the side listen attentively but her mind still in shocked as both the Kind and the princess disappeared from the snap.
Her duty as a Wakanda's dora milaje was to protect the royal family. She should have been prioritising the porple of Wakanda but instead chose to listen first to Captain Steve in cases of important informations.
Thanos left with the Infinity stones, only few know what happened after Thanos snap, the last words of her King reminded her that this will no be the end.
The council of Wakanda have been contacting her of the situation. The people around the world disappeared simultaneously. This phenomenon only happen at same time as the alien spacecrafts sending Outriders or mindless alien creatures to attack the Earth.
The rest of the Outriders have been killed all over the world. The only problem was to find Thanos with the stone and take back all the people that disappears.
Captain Steve gave command appropriately for each members. The world is experiencing a huge phenomena and someone has to solve this problems before it turns into a larger scale of chaos.
Captain Steve looked at all of us as he eyed Carol and me.
" Do you have any plans, Carol? You said you've been in outer space all this time, do you have any idea where Thanos might hide or any of his headquarters?"
Captain Marvel thought for a moment, however, shook her head as she replied " No, my sector have never been in conflict with Thanos and his Order, but there should be information I can find. The only problem is it will take a long time hoing back and forth between here and the Kree empire."
I only listen to their discussion as I have depleted my energy and having a hard time staying awake. The arm which held the power gem have difficulty in healing itself as the huge amount of energy from the power gem is influencing the solar energy should be used to help the arm heals.
The purple veins are throbbing, muscles constantly tightening and the energy are forcing its way to my head. I have to provide a portion of my focus on controlling it little by little in order to prevent it going up unless it goes to my brain.
" Captain-.." I subconsciously mouthed that word so the two people look at me simultaneously. The two look at each other and turn to me and wait for me to continue.
" I… might know …something." I struggled to form words as I'm thinking of where to start.
Captain Marvel frowned but Captain Steve only walk towards me and help sit down and responded " You still all right? Tell us what you know slowly."
I gave a glance at Captain Marvel and said " Mr Tony Stark should have fought with Thanos with Dr Strange, the person who's holding the time gem. Thanos got the time gem before he got here so they already fought but since the beginning, Thanos have never killed anyone."
Captain Steve and the others also realise this but refrained from talking. Thor left earlier to travel to other country and solve the rest of the outriders.
Carol " How do you know where they fought? And how can you be so sure they got spared instead?"
I gave her a deep look with my tired eyes " let me finish."
Carol paused for a while and nodded seeing me getting silent.
" They should be in the planet Titan, Thanos lived there until its demise. Don't ask how I know, just go there and you can save Mr Stark and the others, someone might know the location of Thanos after he snap." After saying all my piece, I close my eyes. I had to pretend losing consciousness due to my injuries.
I don't know how to explain how I know the location of Mr Stark and the others are since I've never left the planet or have contacts to a very long distance.
Carol and Steve look at each other thinking the same that they still dumbfounded about the information.
Steve chose to trust my words and asked Carol " Cain have no reasons to lie so maybe you can go to the home planet of Thanos, there is a big chance what he said is the truth and I also have confidence that with Tony's brain, our success of locating Thanos will have great boost."
