Tony Stark hovered above the battlefield, his arc reactor glowing brightly in the night. Below him, chaos raged. The Avengers were struggling, and Arjun lay buried under the rubble.
His son was down.
His patience was gone.
"Alright, Speedy," Tony muttered, locking onto Pietro Maximoff, who was zipping through the battlefield, taking out Hydra and Avengers alike. "Let's slow you down."
J.A.R.V.I.S. immediately responded, "Sir, tracking patterns show he moves in short bursts. Predicting his trajectory and deploying countermeasures."
Tony smirked. "Perfect."
With a flick of his wrist, his repulsors fired micro-tracking drones, spreading out in all directions. Pietro, oblivious to the incoming counter, dashed toward Thor—only for the drones to activate an electric pulse grid.
A split second delay.
A minor hesitation.
That was all Tony needed.
BOOM!
A focused energy blast slammed into Pietro's chest, sending him crashing through a pile of rubble.
Dust settled.
Pietro groaned, trying to push himself up. He was fast—but he wasn't invincible.
Tony landed next to him, his repulsors aimed.
"Nap time, Sonic," he muttered before blasting him unconscious.
---
The Hydra forces were in full retreat.
With the Maximoff twins neutralized and the base defenses down, what remained of the enemy scattered into the night.
Steve wiped blood from his lip as he surveyed the battlefield. "That went—messier than expected."
Thor grunted, lifting his hammer from a pile of bodies. "Indeed. These warriors fought well… too well."
Natasha stood beside Clint, helping him back on his feet. "They weren't fighting us willingly," she muttered. "Something was off."
Tony, meanwhile, wasn't listening.
His eyes were on Arjun.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., medical scan."
"Vitals stable, sir. Minor fractures, but nothing life-threatening."
Tony exhaled sharply. He was about to move forward—
Then his HUD flashed red.
A security breach inside the Hydra base.
Tony's heart dropped.
---
While the Avengers secured the battlefield, Wanda Maximoff was inside the Hydra base.
Moving unnoticed.
She had been hiding, waiting for the right moment.
Now—the moment had come.
Her boots echoed against the cold steel floors as she moved past lifeless Hydra guards, her fingers glowing scarlet.
She reached the central research lab and her breath hitched.
Before her lay a Leviathan.
A massive, biomechanical Chitauri war beast, its body restrained by thick metal braces, its flesh riddled with wires and tubes.
It was from New York.
From Stark's war.
She stepped forward, her fingers trailing over the cold surface.
"They kept this," she whispered.
Her eyes flickered toward the control monitors—research logs displayed files of experiments, notes, and Stark's name.
Hydra had been studying it.
She clenched her fists.
"Monsters," she spat.
Baron Strucker, injured but still alive, was crawling toward the exit.
Wanda turned to him.
His eyes widened in horror. "Wait—!"
A wave of red energy struck him, sending him crashing into the monitors. The screens sparked, casting shadows across the room.
Baron slumped forward.
Unconscious. Defeated.
Wanda took a shaky breath.
Then—a voice echoed from behind her.
A/N: I shouldn't break the rhythm, but I had to. Sorry for the inconvenience. But there are two important announcements and one thing that I would like to clarify. Some of the readers are calling me out because I have left some fanfics, some dropped some on hiatus. I don't mind u calling me out on that. It is great, but here's the thing. Any of the fanfics I wrote were all AUs. Yet they need the characters to be as they were in the series, movies or comics or whatsoever. That' s not how things worked. Some cursed me for that, some went on as far as calling me things and spreading hatred by leaving negative reviews. I didn't like the fact that the only things I got were those negative reviews while some other author who had shit plot, shit character and world development got positive reviews and a lot of patreons, because he wrote smut. I tried it, I really did. But I couldn't give a good smut FanFic. So I continued. Here's an ultimatum if u don't like it, don't read. But just because u don't get smut and other shits that u expect don't leave negative reviews or hatred comments. If it is ur personal preference please just state that. When u say it is shit or trash, ppl believe it. Regardless of how it can be personal dislikes or not.so that's it
And about the 2 announcements.
1. I am working on a new FanFic. The boys one, I am coming to an end, so the new FanFic I thought is Final Destination. Still I would post it after I finish the boys one. In a few days. So give support there. Obviously patreons would get the first view and all.
The second announcement is that, I have officially published a crime thriller novel. It is out in Amazon. Kindle unlimited readers can read it. And leave reviews. If possible. It isn't too big. Just around 10 chaps. It is part 1 of a crime thriller series. Here is the blurb just so u could get interest. Not the official, just writing it.
So the story is about a cop, mainly from his pov. His city is plagued by a serial killer who kills people and leave behind memes or other funny quotes at the crime scene. The cop has to work his way from the depths of hell that his life and the killer weaves around him. Relationship breaks, people die. His loved ones in danger. And all that shit. U would see gore too.
Name of the series is- Trace Evidence.
Name of the book is- Meme Killer
Author's name- Akhil Pillai.
I would leave the link in my comments. If possible support it.
Thank you.

"Well… that's interesting."
She turned.
Tony Stark stood in the doorway.
---
Tony had followed the security breach.
He had expected a Hydra straggler.
Instead, he found her.
"Damn," he muttered, looking at the wrecked lab. "You really did a number on this place."
Wanda didn't speak.
Her fingers twitched.
Tony took a step forward, raising a hand. "Look, I get it. Hydra screwed with your head, used you and your brother as weapons. But we're not your enemies."
Wanda's eyes darkened.
"No?" she whispered.
Before Tony could react—
Her hand shot forward.
A scarlet mist wrapped around his head, curling into his mind like tendrils of smoke.
Then—he was somewhere else.
New York.
But it wasn't the New York he remembered.
---
Tony staggered, gasping for breath.
He was standing on a ruined battlefield.
His armor was broken.
Smoke and ash filled the air.
Then he saw them—
The bodies.
Steve's shield was shattered, his body lifeless beneath it.
Thor lay among the rubble, Mjolnir fallen from his grasp.
Clint, Natasha, Bruce—all of them dead.
His friends.
His team.
But worst of all—
At the edge of the battlefield, Arjun's body lay in the dirt.
"No," Tony whispered, stumbling forward.
His son's lifeless eyes stared at the sky.
Blood soaked through his suit.
Pepper was there too—her face frozen in fear, her arms outstretched toward him, as if she had been reaching for him in her final moments.
"No, no, no—" Tony's breath came in ragged gasps. "This—this isn't real!"
Then—
A deep rumble.
He turned, and his blood ran cold.
Above them, the sky tore open.
A black hole—the portal from New York.
But this time, he saw the other side.
The void.
A massive armada of ships, countless creatures, waiting beyond the darkness.
Waiting for the moment to return.
Tony fell to his knees, shaking.
He had failed.
The world was gone.
A voice whispered in his ear.
"You could have stopped this."
Tony turned—
And saw Wanda standing behind him.
Her eyes were glowing red, her expression unreadable.
"This is your legacy, Stark," she murmured. "Your monsters… your war… your failure."
She raised her hand—
And everything collapsed.
---
Tony snapped awake, gasping for air.
He was on the ground, his suit flickering with sparks.
Wanda stood over him, her fingers still crackling with energy.
For the first time, Tony Stark felt helpless.
Powerless.
But before Wanda could continue—
Pietro appeared.
"Wanda," he panted, eyes darting between her and the fallen Iron Man. "We have to go. Now."
Wanda hesitated.
She looked down at Tony one last time.
Then—she turned away.
In a blur of motion, the Maximoff twins vanished into the night.
Leaving Tony alone.
With his nightmare.
With the truth.
