they’re back home at this point , tired & bruised & both looking like they could sleep at this point . they were told to stay behind , to essentially play defense & make sure everything where they are in the states is safe . ( translation : as useful as they both are, they’re still s e v e n t e e n & maybe it is better if they stay behind , just in case . )
but they’re successful in staying home : people are safe , are going to be okay because of them . now , they’re just waiting for the update that its all over , that the fight was over , that the good guys won .
but that’s not the call they get . it’s not the victory call . it’s a panicked call asking what’s going on over there , because they didn’t win . they failed . they lost , vision died , they still had members like IRON MAN missing , & thanos snapped his fingers & vanished , & its complete chaos in wakanda now . THEY LOST.
blue eyes , full of panic & suprise , meet max , & as he stands completely still , waiting for everything to come crumbling down , literally & figuratively , it’s a shaky voice that laces the words that tumble out of his mouth . “ what does -------- w --- what does this mean ? max ? ” / @flockleads
