Avengers Alternative Endgame-ing - Mercorabilia


Ok, this probably goes without saying but:

***SPOILER ALERT***
***SPOILER ALERT***
***SPOILER ALERT***
You Have Been Warned



The Avengers prepare for Banner to don the gauntlet.
Stark: Friday, do me a favour and activate Protocol 8.
Friday: Yes, boss.
Banner: (looking down at the gauntlet) Everybody comes home.
He moves his hand towards the gauntlet which expands to fit. it closes around his wrist and he drops to his knees as the power of the stones begins to flow through his body. he roars with pain as the others watch warily.
Thor: Take it off. Take it off!
Captain America: No, wait, Bruce, are you okay?
Stark: Talk to me, Banner.
Banner: (after a pause) I'm okay. I'm okay.
Banner gathers his strength and lifts the gauntlet up. He forces his fingers together and *click* 
Banner collapses to the ground and the gauntlet falls from his hand. The others crowd around and observe the damage to his arm.
- Bruce!
- Don't move him.
- Did it work?
They attempt to move the gauntlet away from him.
Banner: Wait! Wait! Wait!
Banner reaches out for the gauntlet and pulls it back towards him.
Thor: No!
Stark: You can't.
Hawkeye seizes the gauntlet to try to stop him.
Hawkeye: It'll kill you.
Banner looks back at him.
Banner: Whatever it takes.
Hawkeye pauses and then with a forlorn look on his face lets go. Banner pulls the gauntlet onto his undamaged arm and it closes. Again he roars with pain as the energy of the stones courses through him.
The others stand around; flabbergasted at what he's done. Banner pushes his hand up and clicks his fingers. He colllapses to the ground once more and the gauntlet rolls away. The others gather to inspect the damage. Thor picks up the gauntlet to ensure Banner doesn't reach for it again.
Thor: What did you do?
Banner: (weakly) Thanos.
Stark: Thanos?
Banner nods.
Banner: Had to... had to do it... Otherwise he... he would have just... got the stones again and we... we'd be back to square one.
There is a pause while they all contemplate this.
Rocket: Dude - do you realise what you've done?
Banner: Eliminated one of the greatest threats we've ever known and... saved the lives of... everyone in the universe.
Rocket: No - you've just denied us the chance of taking part in one of the greatest battles in cinematic history!
Captain America: Oh, man! The CGI on that would have been awesome!
Banner grunts his disapproval.
Banner: Guys... you NEED to sort out your priorities.
