(Well. After some pondering, deleting, and rewriting, I've come up with this. Tell me if it's OCC for Valkyrie, or not following the RP timeline, or if anything else is wrong!)
Ugh. Valkyrie was stuck on an abandoned planet with whatever remnants of Asgard that had survived Thanos's attack. It wasn't a very pleasant situation, to say the least. She glanced around, hoping to see some sign of technology, or even life, in her surroundings, but no. Simply a stretching, barren landscape. Valkyrie grimaced to herself, turning around. Ah. She had lost the other Asgardians. Well, now she was alone on abandoned planet. That made the situation worse than before. She sighed to herself, starting walking in a random direction. It couldn't hurt, right? After a few minutes of walking, she paused, looking to her side. That pile of sand looked suspiciously like a spaceship. She approached the pile cautiously. Wait. It was a spaceship! A spaceship covered in dirt, but a spaceship noneless. "Yes!" She exclaimed to herself, before getting to work uncovering the ship. After quite some time, she had managed to uncover enough to get into the ship, and get off this planet. So, get off the planet she did. Before long, she was out of the atmosphere. "Well," She remarked to herself, "Earth, I guess."

Thanos
Thanos leaned closer, one golden boot planted on the center of the Collector’s chest. “You have one last chance, Taneleer. Where is the stone?”
“I told you, I sold it!”
“Please. At least make an attempt to be believable.”
“I didn’t know what it was!”
Thanos chuckled. “Not even you are that foolish.”
“Why would I lie? It would be suicide!”
“Indeed, but even you would rather die before giving up something so precious.” With that, Thanos began to press more of his weight down on the Collector, who let out a feeble cough under the strain, his chest slowly being crushed.

Cap:
Steve looked out the front window past Daisy as the jet flew on. "I'll wait until we get back," he decided after a moment. "I know this is urgent, but we'll see who's at base first and then make our calls. I'd rather talk face to face if I can first. No need to get things out of proportion until we're all informed of the situation." His hand went instinctively towards his pocket, then, where the sister cell phone to the one he'd given Stark rested in his pocket. He had a phone if he needed to use one, but it could wait a little longer. He'd wait to see who was waiting for them at base first, figure out what they knew, and then decide which people he was going to call.
Bucky:
He nodded, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand. "It's your choice," he said at last. If it was his decision, he would have had her stay back and rest. He couldn't fight and protect her at the same time. But he knew that she and her brother were both skilled, and they needed every person they could get on their sides. He couldn't stop her from fighting, just as much as he knew he couldn't stop himself from fighting. The war was going to call them all, and each of them had to decide for themselves if they were going to answer it. "If you are feeling up for the challenge, I won't hold you back. It's been a while since we had the whole gang back together fighting side by side, anyways." He managed to crack a smile.
Quill:
Peter walked a step in front of Gamora, attempting to be the leader of their little band. He had one hand at his belt, fingering around with a weapon in case he needed it, and the other held up for the others to wait a bit behind him as they walked. He could see Thanos torturing the Collector beyond the rubble and boxes, and he could hear both of their voices loud and clear. Thanos was right there, and they could stop him before it was too late. They just needed to come up with some sort of plan. He turned around. "Everyone stay behind me," he whispered. "We have the element of surprise, so we can get him before he even knows we're here."

Gamora:
Gamora did listen to Peter... at least somewhat. He was right about the element of surprise, but when she was able to tear her gaze off of the sight of Thanos over the Collector, she didn't wait and stay behind Peter. She knew better than anyone how Thanos worked. He was probably expecting her to come eventually, so she had to move fast. Before the Collector gave in and gave up the stone. She slowly made her way around the boxes and closer to Thanos, staying in the shadows of the wreckage of the building. When she knew she was as close as possible without Thanos noticing her, she stopped. One hand gripped the hilt of her long, retractable sword, the other on her jeweled knife, the very knife Thanos had given to her as a child. She tensed in a crouched position, waiting for the perfect moment to leap out at Thanos and catch him off guard. She was ready.

His smile brought her to smile. It was widening over her lips, flashing pearly whites and her cheeks to warm yet again as she looked down for a brief moment. “Well, after this is all over we can certainly take as long of a rest as we want,” she promised. Oh how little did they know what would eventually happen. Slowly, she raised their hands and pressed a light kiss to his knuckles, eyes closed for a brief moment and intaking his emotions. Alyona merely relaxed then, settling into his side and Borya instead speaking.
“If you fight alongside her, take care of her,” Borya rumbled out. He was serious, his dark orbs flickering between the two before he rolled over and sat up to look at Logan. “Its nice to see you again Logan,” he grunted. He would let Alyona call him Kitty

(does anybody actually have Drax to try and kill Thanos but be knocked out and fall, or are we doing something else, or what?)
Loki sat in silence for a moment, waiting to see if Rogers was going to say anything else. “So, do I tell you now, or are we waiting until the team assembles?”

(We can do something else, if you want. That way we don't have to follow script XD)
Cap:
With so much going on, Steve had almost missed what Loki had said. But he looked back to the Asgardian and finally said, "We haven't spoken to Thor in a while. He's been off the grid lately, as Bruce has also been, so I'm sure whatever it is you want to catch us up on is news to us. And now is as best as any time."
Bucky:
Bucky smiled, looking out into the jet. "Well, hopefully it's a quick one," he said. Seeing as the last war they had was still playing in his mind and they were still technically on the run, he wasn't sure how much rest would be possible, but still. Maybe saving the world - once again - from trouble would get them back in good standings with the people that no longer liked them. He then turned his head to look at Borya. "Like family," he responded. Of course he'd protect her. He'd protect any one of them.
Logan:
Logan looked over to Borya and gave him a head nod. "It's been a while, hasn't it?" he said, lifting an eyebrow. When you were as old as him, sometimes time blurred, but it really had been a while since he'd seen the kid. Well, he wasn't really a kid anymore. "You've gotten yourself into a fair amount of trouble, but it's good to see you, too, and I'm glad you made it out okay."
Quill:
Peter let out an irritated growl in the back of his throat and followed behind his team. "Don't worry, guys," he whispered, "I'll watch the rear." He stopped right behind Gamora, watching her body tense. He knew she wanted to take on Thanos herself, and there was probably nothing he could do to stop her. If he did try to stop her, it might cause more of a distraction and their element of surprise would be gone. Instead, he just prayed that she knew what she was doing. He had to trust her.

Gamora:
Gamora was done waiting. Thanos was turned away from her now, busy practically crushing the Collector, and she had her chance. With a motion swift as lightning, Gamora leapt out from where she crouched, darted to Thanos' side, and thrusted her sword up into his chin. Her knife followed soon after, finding its place deep in his chest. She wouldn't step away, wouldn't stand down until she was sure that Thanos was defeated. She stood her ground, looking him in the eyes with an expression that said 'I will never let you hurt anyone. Not if I can help it.'

Thanos turned just in time to see a flash of green, then Gamora plunged a sword into his head, followed by a knife to the chest. He coughed, a trickle of purple blood running down his chin as he dropped to his knees. The Collector, getting up and stumbling backwards, away from Thanos, fell into one of his cages, the door shutting behind him. “Why... daughter...” Thanos whispered, before falling backwards, ceasing to move, his eyelids flickering shut.
(Sorry I’ve been taking a while to get Loki up. I should have that done later today, but I’m not sure when.)

Gamora:
When Thanos fell to his knees, Gamora stepped back, taking her weapons with her. Seeing him like that, looking beaten and weaker than she'd ever thought he could be, sent a variety of conflicting emotions rushing through her heart. She couldn't decide whether to be relieved or distressed. But hearing Thanos call her 'daughter' caused her to burst into tears. She knew he deserved what he'd gotten, that anyone who had plans to destroy half the universe should get no sympathy, but... after all that had happened, he still saw her as his daughter. And rather than reciprocating that, she'd murdered him.

"All right then. So, about ten years ago, I discovered that I wasn't actually an Asgardian, and as a result was pretty angry at my family. Thor was banished for unrelated reasons, and I briefly gained the throne as Odin slept the Odinsleep. I made a few questionable decisions, tried to prove myself to Odin by destroying Jotunheim, and ended up falling off the Rainbow Bridge, where I met Thanos. He gave me my scepter and army, and sent me to Earth to obtain the Tesseract, and I'm assuming all of you are aware of how that played out. After that, I was imprisoned under Asgard, as you might expect. I would most likely still be there if it wasn't for the dark elves. They attacked, killing my mother, and Odin forbade Thor from counter-attacking, as he believed they would strike again. Thor disagreed with this decision, and enlisted my help in escaping from Asgard. For some reason, his girlfriend had managed to absorb the Aether, which contained the Reality Stone. Malekith, leader of the Dark Elves, tried to get it and end all the Nine Realms, and I was instrumental in aiding Thor. You may remember the incident with the large, black alien ship in Greenwich. Afterwards, we gave the Stone to the Collector. During this time, I may possibly have faked my death and taken Odin's place on the throne, and Thor discovered this fact fairly recently, although in my defense, I was an excellent ruler. Soon thereafter, Odin died, and our sister, Hela, returned, destroying Thor's hammer, and Thor and I ended up on the planet Sakaar. The Hulk was there, and with the aid of Valkyrie, the three of us managed to escape and stop Hela from gaining ultimate power and conquering the Nine Realms, which I did by personally starting Ragnarok after aiding in the evacuation of Asgard. We were on our way to Earth with all the Asgardian refugees when Thanos attacked, slaughtering my people and stealing the Space Stone from me. I tried to kill him, at which point he, I'm fairly certain, broke my neck, before destroying our ship."

Like family. Her eyes shifted, glancing to Bucky for a brief second before glancing away. He's right- she would try to protect everyone as much as she could herself. Nestled against his side, Alyona found herself able to breathe in a soft breath and her eyes close. It was very relaxing to be around him, and her whole body seemed to physically relax. She was calm, listening to his own breathing and her head on his shoulder. She felt icky and all sticky, and she made sure to carefully move her hair so the red tints would stain only her skin and clothing... Which, looked pretty bad. The wound had stopped bleeding sure, but she was careful enough not to reopen it. Speaking of it- her hand lifted, covering up where she had been hurt and frowned at the scabs that had formed around it. She was ready to scratch at it when Viktor's hand clutched hers.
"Don't. You'll worsen the wound," his deep voice warned, making sure to retract his hand as fast as he touched hers and frowned. Alyona nervously stared at him, his own dark gaze staring right back at her. "I can already smell the stale stench from you, and its starting to freshen from you. I don't need to overbear my senses and to have him-" he used his thumb and pointed at Logan, "- to freak out. You know how much he hates planes as is; don't worsen his anxiety."
Alyona stared at the mutant that was now apparently their ally. She simply held her scabbed over side, her lips pursing and shifting to sink further against Bucky. "Okay." was all she murmured.
Borya snorted slightly, his devilish smirk reappearing as he looked to Logan. "More trouble than you thinking," he grunted out. He managed to shift his weight, leaning back on his hands only for a moment as his evergreen hues glinted and his smirk faded into a frown. A hand lifted, pointing at his head and he grunted out, "Got a bit... overconfident." His head tilted, gesturing back at Bucky as he continued lowly, "And guess who decided to take care of me and put me out for awhile." It caused Alyona to squeak and blubber out in Russian, as if trying to explain that it was necessary and that Bucky was only trying to protect her. She however hushed in the end, pouting and turning her attention to listen in on what Loki was telling Steve and the others up front- despite the low voices.

The body lying before Gamora dissolved into red droplets, the real Thanos materializing from much the same, the Reality Stone glowing brightly on his left hand as a red mist swept around the room, revealing a Knowhere in shambles, fire slowly consuming the dead Celestial’s head. “I thought as much,” Thanos rumbled, approaching Gamora. “Despite how you profess to hate me so, you still care.” (So this is probably going to be my last reply for a little while. I’m doing a thing at the naval Academy until the 8th, which I’m super pumped for, but I’m also going to be extremely busy and not have my phone except at night, at which point I will want to go to bed because I’ll be running on six hours of sleep max and the days are going to be jam-packed with nonstop activities.) ( pumpkin pie, seeing as Tals has replied, I would greatly appreciate a Strange reply from you when I return. Laura can wait if you want.) |

When Thanos' body dissolved in front of her, Gamora stumbled back in shock. She watched with wide eyes as her surroundings changed, first dark and empty, then crumbling and ablaze. Thanos was standing in front of her again, and she could see that he was alive and well, and already had the stone. Everything that had just happened was an illusion. It was all a trick. Thanos had already won.
A shiver of dread crept slowly up Gamora's spine like the fire devouring Knowhere around her. What could be done now? Thanos knew she and the others were there; they couldn't just leave now. Thanos would never allow it. They would have to fight their way out, but she was not optimistic about how it might turn out.
