[MCU] Without the infinity stones...

How do Captain Marvel and Scarlett Witch still have their powers? I always assumed that they could continually draw power from the stones, but if the stones are destroyed, what is the source of their power? Did the stones grant them infinite power? Will it ever run out?

Edit: I’m downvoted for having a question sorry?

The Stones are a universal constant; they can't really be destroyed, and they will eventually reform, even if that takes centuries. The energies they manipulate are still there, it's just that you can't directly control them using the Stones right now.

Carol and Wanda don't draw their power *from* the Stones, however. Their bodies were permanently altered by one of the Stones, and as such are almost like mini-Stones themselves. They now have an innate ability to manipulate cosmic energies.
