Peter ran as fast as he could. His assailant was quickly catching up with no problem. He heard the sound of a starship from above flying by him. It was his starship! It was the Milano.

The Milano lowered down, dangerously close to the ground. The hatch slid open to reveal Gamora reaching out her hand.

" Peter you need to jump into the ship! " Gamora yelled out as the Milano slowed down. Gamora eyed the bounty hunter chasing Peter. The bounty hunter was dangerous and after Peter for a lot of units.

Peter grimaced and jumped.


Natasha sat down into the chair wearily. She didn't know how long she could hold out. She's been fighting this war for a whole year and a few months more, barely hanging on. She looked at Clint sitting in across from her. He looked equally tired and extremely worn out. Clint had a small glass in his hand and took a sip.

The small lightbulb above them dimly light the room. It made the atomsphere even more depressing. Barely anyone went in the room.

" How's your family doing Clint? " Natasha asked the archer.

Clint looked up and sighed. " Fine. They're managing. The base where they are placed is safe enough, " Clint paused. " For now. " He put on a faint smile, it wasn't real.

Natasha imagined how differently things would go if Steve, Tony, and Thor were missing. Not to mention Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Natasha had briefly met the twins during the battle against Ultron but they soon went missing. Natasha thought the kids would've been good Avengers if they hadn't chosen the wrong side. The twins had helped Ultron all the way until Ultron's demise.

Thor was most likely still in Asgard not coming to help them fight the war. Tony went missing during the battle against Ultron and now Pepper was taking care of the company. Even Steve had gone missing with no trace.

Only Bruce, Sam, Rhodey, Natasha and Clint remained. They were the remaining Avengers and to be honest they weren't that good without the rest of their teammates. Of course they had met Antman and he helped but he just wasn't strong enough to help end the war.


" Sir, people have spotted two unidentified flying ships in orbit! They both seem to be more advanced than anything from here. They look like they're made from alien tech. It also looks like they're both fighting each other. "

" That's not very helpful news. Definitely not what I was hoping for but when has any good news reached us. We'll have to be cautious and hope they're not with the enemy. " Fury gravely said.


A little girl huddled in closer to her mother. She was a frail young child. Lack of food made her that way. Her mother was in no better condition.

" Mommy where are the rest of the Avengers? Where's Iron Man and Captain America? Where's Thor? " The little girl whispered to her mother.

Her mother drew her child closer to her. " I don't know sweetie. They've been missing for almost over a year now. "

" Will they come back and save us? "

" I... don't know honey. I don't know. "


Natasha listened to the soldiers and agents ready their weapons at the unidentified alien spaceship. The hatch opened to reveal a man with his hands up. He was wearing a red jacket and dark pants with boots. His hair was dark and slightly messy. The man looked pretty normal bit looks weren't everything. They could be pretty deceiving.

Clint tensed behind Natasha and Bruce tried to stay calm. Sam was keeping a watchful eye on all of them from above.

Fury took a step forward and spoke. " Who're you? "

The man seemed to stand up straighter as if he was about to reveal something big. " Starlord. "

" Who? Uh, are we supposed to know you or something? "

" Nevermind. Just forget it. "
