Chapter 37 - New Friends?

"You couldn't kill me if you tried." I laugh.

"Wait, what. Thanos?" Strange asks, "Alright, let me ask you this one time: What master do you serve?"

"What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say? Jesus?" The man asks.

"You're from Earth?" Tony asks.

The man shakes his head. "I'm not from Earth. I'm from Missouri."

"Yeah, that's on Earth, dip-shit; What are you hassling us for?" I ask.

Peter sounds crushed, "So, you're not with Thanos?"

"With Thanos?! No! I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl- Wai- who are you?" The man asks.

"We're the Avengers, man." Peter says, taking off his helmet.

"Oh."

"You're the ones Thor told us about!" The woman says.

"You know Thor!?" I ask urgently.

"Yeah. Tall guy, not that good-looking," Peter and I give him a weird look. "Needed saving."

"Where is he now?"

"Nivadellir." The woman says. "He said he needed a new weapon."

After quick introductions, we all go outside. I put my arm around Peter's shoulders and smile.

"The heck happened to this planet? It's eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place." Quill says.

in the background, Mantis is jumping joyfully in a low gravity spot. Tony nods, "Yeah, we got one advantage. He's coming to us. We'll use it. All right, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one. It's pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. Definitely don't wanna dance with this guy. We just want the gauntlet." Dead yawns, "Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I'm breaking it down? Huh? Did you hear what I said?"

"I stopped listening after you said, We need a plan."

"Okay, Mr. Clean is on his own page." I sigh.

"See, not winging it isn't really what they do." Quill says.

"Uh, what exactly is it that they do?" Peter asks.

"Kick names, take ass." Mantis says.

Drax nods. "Yeah, that's right."

"Alright, just get over here, please. Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?" Tony asks.

"Mr. Lord.....Star-Lord is fine." He Motions to Drax and Mantis.

"We gotta coalesce. 'Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude...."

"Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means. Alright, we're optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plan, and that way it might be really good." Quill points.

"Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe." Drax says.

"What dance-off?" I ask.

Quill shakes his head, "It's not a... it's not... it's nothing."

"Like in Footloose, the movie?" Peter asks.

"Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?" Quill gets excited.

Peter shakes his head, "It never was." I laugh as Peter says this.

"Don't encourage this, alright?" Tony says. "We're getting no help from Flash Gordon here."

"Flash Gordon? By the way, that's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm half human." Quill points at us three, "So that 50% of me that's stupid? That's 100% you."

"Your math is blowing my mind." I say.

"Excuse me, but... does your friend often do that?" Mantis asks.

We turn to see Dr. Strange is sitting cross-legged, floating slightly above the ground, his hands poised in a mystic gesture with the Time Stone glowing brightly Green vapor-like energy flows from the stone, and more intricate magical energy patterns circle Dr. Strange's forearms. The Cloak of Levitation flows behind him as if the Stone is creating a strong breeze. His eyes are closed, and his head is jerking rapidly from side to side, the motion blurring, but resembling looking for something.

"Strange, we alright?" Tony asks. Dr. Strange snaps out of his trance and falls forward, letting out a cry. "You're back. You're alright."

"Hey, what was that?" Peter asks.

"I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict." Strange says.

"How many did you see?" Quill asks.

"14,000,605."

"How many did we win?" Tony helps him up.

Strange stares at Tony for a moment, "One."
