“Thor! What are you doing?” Thor only hugged him tighter. He didn’t get the chance to finish his question, because Thor had lifted him off his feet in a crushing hug. Very much alive, though his hair was rather shorter than Thor was accustomed to of late. He turned to see whose they were and felt like he’d been struck in the chest. There was an overturned table, with food, plates, and cutlery strewn all across the floor.
He was no longer on the battlefield on Earth, being consumed by green fire instead, he found he was sitting on the steps in one of the feast halls in the palace. Thor felt a sensation not unlike missing a step when going down stairs. He turned his gaze to the past and yelled as he felt himself unraveling. He clung to it even tighter, though the pain was building. None showed the faces he longed to see again.ĭimly, he could hear voices shouting at him to let the Stone go, but he would not. He saw the future stretching out ahead of him too, in all its possibilities. All those centuries of taking everything he had for granted. He could suddenly see his entire life stretching out behind him.
Burning green light erupted from between his fingers, growing steadily brighter. He clenched his fist around Time hard enough to drive it into his flesh. “You shouldn’t be holding one of those things in your bare hand.” “Thor, what are you doing?” It was the rabbit.

He used the point of Stormbreaker’s purple-stained blade to pry the Time Stone free of the gauntlet, then bent down and picked it up. Someone was calling his name-Rogers, perhaps. What was left for him now but to go back to the refugees who’d fled with the Valkyrie? Surely there was nothing else he could do. Neither mattered to him at all now, and what was losing an eye compared to nearly everyone he had ever loved? It seemed incredible that he had cared so much about losing his hair and his hammer so recently. How little time it had taken for Thor to lose everything. The green gem in the thumb setting faced upward. The gauntlet lay on the grass at his feet, still on Thanos’s severed arm. “I told you you would die for that.”Īll around Thor, the battle was coming to an end. There was another spray of violet blood, followed by two more thumps. Thanos tried to attack with his remaining hand, but with a mighty roar, Thor swung Stormbreaker again, this time for the neck. “You call it salvation, slaughtering half of my people when they were already but a fraction of Asgard’s numbers from mere weeks ago? Wiping out the dwarves and leaving only their king behind to suffer? You think yourself a just god, capable of making the hard choices. “You’ve doomed us all! I would have saved the universe.” Staring into those eyes without pity, Thor pushed the axe even deeper until it severed the arm completely. The arm hung useless and Thanos’s eyes were wide with pain and disbelief. This was not a joyous victory, but damn if it was not a satisfying one. He landed behind it and bared his teeth in a mirthless grin. It cut through the power of all the Stones and struck home deep in the left shoulder.
