Vanyel immediately flops on the ground, in the middle of the city sidewalk. He's probably been this tired before but he's not coming up with any specific examples. Also his head is killing him. 

- after five seconds it occurs to him that whatever just happened - it's still a blur - he thinks Leareth hadn't yet gotten out, when he did. 

He struggles up on one elbow. "Leareth?" 

Leareth is sprawled in a heap. He's not moving.

Nayoki is already crouched by his side, though. 

:He needs medical attention!: she tells anyone within twenty feet of her, which is hopefully mostly Avengers. :Now: 

Well, that's concerning but it seems like someone's handling it. 

Vanyel's thoughts aren't being very cooperative. His head feels kind of like someone just swished a bunch of lava around inside his skull. 

.....Brightstar? 

"Brightstar?" he tries to call out. 

Featherfire is looking around frantically as well. 

"Brightstar? Brightstar!" 

:Is he here? Did anyone see him?: she demands of the other Avengers. 

Tony's Iron Man suit has a lot of emergency medical capabilities. He removes it and puts it on Leareth, and it manages to get his pulse and breathing stabilized.

"I don't think Brightstar made it. Or Strange. I'm sorry."

Featherfire curls up and hugs her knees and puts her head down. 

He needs to think but thinking is really hard with the godawful headache.

Also the fact that Brightstar is dead, but honestly Vanyel's emotions aren't really processing that yet. 

...The first thought Vanyel manages to squeeze out is that he should fix this bottleneck. 

:Does anyone -: owwwwwww Mindspeaking is terrible right now, :- have - painkillers...: 

Nayoki really wishes there were a Healer here who could tell what was going on, but at least it looks like Leareth isn't about to die of backlash shock on the spot, it can wait. 

:Are we safe here: she asks Tony and the other Avengers. :If Thanos found us there - he might guess we would come back here -: 

"I don't think he can track us—2012 New York was a really obvious place to get the Stones, and Thanos knows that, because he orchestrated it originally. But the Avengers Facility is also a really obvious place to be, so we need to get the Stones that we do have out of there. Off this planet, preferably. Is anyone remotely in shape to do a Gate back there?"

:I can do it. I will be very tired afterward though. ...Can someone else carry Leareth, if we are all going and then departing from there?: 

Vanyel makes an effort to stand up, decides that this is not happening, and looks around hopefully for aid. 

"I don't know if you'd call it 'carrying', but—"

His suit, which Leareth is now wearing, fires some small thrusters, and Leareth's unconscious form levitates beside them.

Thor can carry Vanyel just fine. It's the least he could do, for someone that Stormbreaker apparently considers worthy.

Nayoki raises a Gate back to the 2018 version of the Avengers' headquarters. 

:Featherfire: she prods. :Featherfire, we need to go: 

Featherfire drags herself to her feet, scrubs at tearstained cheeks, and follows them through the Gate. 

"FRIDAY," says Tony to no one in particular, the moment he's through the gate—most of the Facility is wired to pick up voice commands—"tell everyone there's an emergency meeting, at this spot, now. Also we have two wizards in need of medical attention and we need a wizard doctor."

Emergency meeting in the main hangar immediately. A Velgarth Healer is also needed urgently. Everyone in the complex can hear her.

Fëanor and Maedhros are the first to reach them.

"What happened?" Fëanor asks.

"Thanos showed up. Used the Time Stone to try to trap us there. We had to use the other Time Stone to make a space to get out. Ended up destroying it, probably. Strange and Brightstar didn't make it—we don't know if they're dead or just trapped there, but I'm not going to risk going back until we find out where Thanos went. We need to get the two stones that we do have somewhere he won't find them."

(He is not going to process any of this until the battle is over, and it isn't yet over.)

Fëanor considers this a moment.

"We should go back to Valinor, I think," he says. "The defenses are obviously not strong enough to keep out Thanos with the Stones, but it has the advantage that I don't think Thanos knows it exists. We should also consider hiding the Stones in a different time, but we can consider that once we're in slightly less immediate danger."

Several of Leareth's Healers arrive at a run and start checking the two injured mages over. 

Vanyel's condition isn't too bad, actually. He has some nasty backlash, but nothing a day's rest won't fix, though it'll be a miserable day unless they can obtain him some Earth painkillers that are hopefully better than the Velgarth versions. 

Leareth is mostly stabilized thanks to Tony's suit, but they'll be lucky if he even regains consciousness today. He doesn't have anywhere close to Vanyel's strength of Gift, and he stayed longer and took the brunt of all the extra power dropped on him when Vanyel left.
