Many had gathered at the Avengers base. Pretty much everyone who played a part in saving the universe. This was their victory party, or rather as much as a party they could afford given the loss. They had earned this win. They, also included Luis, Kurt, Dave, Ned, Wong, Korg and Miek.

Peter was hanging out celebrating with his best friend, Ned, and off course with him being an official Avenger and all that. His memory was a bit fuzzy on what had actually happened. The last he remembered was his body shifting into ash, dying in Tony Stark's arms. The next he knew he was back on Earth, together with an equally baffled Quill, Mantis and Drax. At least Doctor Strange seemed to have an idea of what transpired, with a smile saying 'They did it. They all succeeded.'

As an Avenger, Peter knew the details from the debrief reports off course but today was the first time he met Ned since he was back and he was dying to know the first hand account.

Peter (Grins): Hey Ned, I read about what happened. How did it go man? How do you feel now that you've actually saved the universe?

Ned (Gushing): It was SO FREAKING AWESOME, I wish you were there to see it!

Peter: I'll bet it was. Care to share a first hand account story?

Ned (gesturing to Luis): Nahhh Dude. You want a story, you should hear it from the man himself.

Luis (turning around flashing his widest smile): You wanna hear the story?

Luis (nudging Scott excitedly): Hewannahearthestory.

Scott (eyes turning wide in horror): Oh no you don't wanna do that -

Thor (booms while holding a gigantic mug of beer): Did I hear someone say story? I too, would like to hear the tale of the fall of Thanos as well as the heroics of these fine warriors. (gesturing to Ned, Luis, Kurt, Dave, Korg, Miek and Wong, as he comfortably sank into the couch beside Luis)

Kurt (eyeing Scott): The God wvants to hear the story.

Dave (chimes in): Yea yea, you can't really deny a guy like that what he wants. Dude's a god.

Drax (interjecting immediately): He is not a dude.

Peter Quill (rolls his eyes): Yes we know. Now are we getting on with the story telling or what?

Scott (sighs and looks at Luis): Go on. Take it away Luis.

Luis: Alrite, alrite. See back when the Snap happened, me and my bros were on phone making big bucks. Cuz we run a security company that's now basically famous and stuff, which was thanks to our buddy Scotty, who was supposed to be on house arrest but not on house arrest, who was sprung out by Doctor Pym and his ex-girlfriend now girlfriend Hope, who had a giant ant to pretend to be Scotty to fool the popo so that he could go on this secret mission with them to get back her momma.

Scott: Woah woah hold up. Straight to the story. (whispering) they don't need to hear the full story before that.

Luis: Rite rite man. So check this out, while we were on the phone, suddenly our client stopped talking. We thought Dave forgot to pay the phone bill again but we called back and nothing. Nobody answered. Nada," (pausing dramatically) "That's when we heard the noises. BING! BANG! BADA BOOM! Turns out there were car crashes left and right, airplanes falling from the sky. Total End of the World stuff. And that's when I remembered my man Scotty was out there doing some science stuff with Hope and her parents. I told Kurt and Dave 'Yo man! We gotta bounce and find Scotty and the others!'

Luis: Everybody was trippin out there. People poofing to dust left and right. Man, I know your homie here done some not so legal stuff but we all started to pray to Jesus. That's when the big man upstairs answered our prayers. (pointing to Ned)

Luis: Dude pushed us out of the way from an incoming spaceship that almost crash landed Dorothy Wizard of Oz style on us. 'Hey man you saved our lives! And dude responds 'No problemo bro, I'm Guy in the Chair by the way.'

(Peter discreetly fist bumps Ned)

Drax: Does he permanently sit in a chair?

Peter Quill (rolls his eyes): No, Drax. He does not. It's a slang. He sits in a chair to recon and monitor stuff and gives directions to those on a mission.

Drax (deadpans): I do not need someone sitting in a chair to tell me what to do. I rather have an extra pair of hands to fight.

Ned (leans in to whisper to Peter): Are you sure they saved the galaxy twice already?

Peter: Yuppp. (making a pop sound at the end)

Groot: I am Groot.

Rocket (translating and seems to enjoy sipping on a margarita): Groot says let the guy who speaks really fast continue with the story.

(Everyone who surrounded Luis stayed quiet beckoning him to continue)

Luis: So back to the Guy in the Chair, he was like 'Yo man, I got lost and ended up here and I need to find my best friend cuz he went off to join the Avengers to fight some aliens.' And I was like 'Me too! Is your best friend an Avenger? Ma best friend is pals with Cap.' And he was like 'No wayyyy. That's dope. We should all stick together and find them.'

Luis: At that moment, those two climbed out of that bad ass looking spaceship. (points to Korg and Miek) One was carrying an alien head. Dave went 'Ohmygawd! Ohmygawd! Ohmygawd! We all gonna dieeeee.' Kurt goes 'We're gonna end up like that head.' Guy in the Chair was like 'Woahhh that some wild lookin rock solid alien. But please don't kill us!

Luis: The Rock, seewhatIdidthere? Cuz dude is made out of real rock -

Korg to Miek: I still don't know what that means. Is this Rock man a distant relative of mine? (Miek shakes his head)

Luis: - said 'Hey man, how's it goin? I'm The Rock and he's ma bro Bug Head.' Ya know I have a sense about people rite? So I just know who's the good guy, the good bad guy or bad bad guy. Only they're alien so they're not exactly people am I rite? But I got a good feelin about them ya know? So I say to them 'Ya'll guys lookin so rad with the rock bod and live head all that, you guys with the Avengers?'

Luis: and The Rock goes like 'Naw man, we got no idea who ya talking about, we just ran from space from the Big Purple Prune. We bounced from Asgard with MC Hammer, his bro Horny, that badass stupid fine warrior chic, the green but not always green guy and all the other people that's left when the Giant Red Demon faced off with MC Hammer's sister from Hel that wiped off their home off the map. Then, Big Purple Prune turned up and separated half of us from the ship. We were trapped and couldn't leave ya know, cuz there weren't enough escape pods for everyone. We thought MC Hammer and the others who were on the other side with Big Purple Prune got popped for sure.'

Luis: 'And then it happened. People poofing into dust left and right. Nobody could outrun it and ya know it some crazy scary shit happening cuz ya didn't know who'd be next right? Finally the poofing stopped on our ship and all that's left of us took an escape pod. I took Bug Head and we set off but our pod's sizzstems were fried and we landed here.'

Thor gives Korg and Miek a tight hug, his Asgardian god like physique wrapping them both in his embrace.

Thor: I'm so relieved you all made it. Valkyrie too. (eyes Valkyrie who was chatting to Okoye at the bar, bottle in hand)

Miek responds with an appreciative clicking sound.

Korg (says casually): It's all right min. The revolution worked out didn't it? We hopped off Sakaar and into Asgard. Although Asgard burned to the ground, half of the survivors died, your only family and best friend died, the others we're still trying to find, but we stopped the Big Bad Purple Prune, saved the universe and you got a new hemmah.

Thor swallowed hard, eyes reflecting his sorrow for an instant. The God of Thunder looks back up at Luis, sadness erased from his face and replaced with a tight smile.

Thor: Please continue with your tale, oh wise bard.

Luis: Okay bro. So there we were wondering what to do next, cuz it was just us three security extraordinaire experts, a smart kid and two aliens, one of which is without his body. The world was ending, but not like what they show in the movies ya know, not everybody dies, there's no Day After Tomorrow disaster, no aliens comin to zap us, but who're we kidding, we ain't the Avengers. My bro Scotty is still missing, we got no clue where Guy in the Chair's bestie is. So this is the point like the movies where all hope is lost, everyone is gonna give up but you know ya homie ain't a quitter, like I only quit when I know the popo are on to me or when Mrs Hernandez is chasing for rent. And here's the best part rite, at that moment sparkles appeared and out stepped - (Luis points to Wong) - Wizard Miyagi.

Wong (waves with a deadpanned voice): Hi.

Scott (whispers to Luis): That is a dope nickname. (Luis returns with a lowkey fistbump).

Peter Quill: I understood that reference!

Gamora: But his name is Wong. Who's Miyagi?

Mantis (giving a knowing grin): Why is Miyagi?

Drax (responds instinctively): How is Miyagi? (Both Peters facepalm)

Stephen (appearing with Tony from a portal): I also understood that reference. (turning to Wong) Nice name by the way, least it has more than one syllable.

(Wong shrugs)

Tony took a seat beside Stephen.

Tony: Well carry on. By all means don't stop on my account. We haven't even reached the climax yet.

Dave: - wait. How did you know the story when you only just got in?

Tony: For starters, Peter (everyone turned to Peter Quill), the young (Tony corrects) has been sending me live streams since this story started. I was having a err...meeting with Stephen but then we decided we should come and hear it for ourselves.

Stephen: Yup. Story was too distracting for anything else and Tony wouldn't turn off the live stream (he eyes Tony quizzically).

Luis: Wow, Iron Man himself wants me to tell the story. Ican' .

Steve walks over.

Steve (smiling): Slow down there soldier. We'll all take the one way ticket on Luis' bullet train, I don't think we can take the hyperspeed version.

Luis (squeaks): Cap!

Kurt to Luis: Breatheeee man, breatheeee.

Luis (composes himself): (mutters) You da man! You da man! (exhales) So anyways Wizard Miyagi steps through the portal rite? He goes 'Damn this place has gone to hell! The Avengers must've lost to that Purple Prune. I did some cool wizard stuff and it lead me here. I need to find my friend Harry Potter (Stephen does a massive eye-roll with Tony smirking) and retrieve the sparkly stone he was holding, and hope we can fix some stuff. We ain't the Avengers, actually we ain't even close to the them but since my magic lead me here to you guys, we gotta help them out. We're the only wingmen they got.'

Luis: Dave goes 'Woah that some Braveheart shit man. We gotta do this for sure!' in which Kurt says 'We would love to help for realz but how we gonna do that.' Then, Wizard Miyagi lays out the plan. 'Okay so I can trace the energy of the green stone that will lead us to the Purple Prune but we gonna need to fix the ship to fly there.'

Luis: Guy in the Chair goes like 'oooh man, that's ma jam. I can fix it!' So him, The Rock and Bug Head fixed up the ship and before you know it, we're in spaceeeee. I mean, as a boy, I wanted to be an astronaut and all that, but then I learnt that you gotta do all those tests, fitness and stuff but then life got tough and I thought like hey, maybe there's an easier way to make money, and that's when I became a con, I met Scotty cuz he was ma cellie but now we gone legit with our own security company X-Con.'

Nebula (whispers to Gamora): Am I the only one who finds this ironic that a group of ex-convicts now run a security detail named X-Con?

Gamora (mutters): Don't ask.

Luis: Lemme tell ya, Space is a whole new game level! Never in ma life would I have imagined we were in a space ship, though we were on our way to beat up the Purple Prune, save our friends and die in the process, but hey least we got to sit in a space ship! Wizard Miyagi helped set our destination and the spaceship hyper-jumped (says it proudly), see I know that term cuz I just watched Star Wars the other day with Cassie. (Scott gave Luis an Obama-equese impressed frown). Before ya know it, we reached the Purple Prune's lair (adds in dramatic pause).

Everyone else: Oooohhhh

Luis: So there we were, and Wizard Miyagi brought us close to a hut? Kurt says 'Wvait, you tellin us that the biggest baddest alien is living in that hut?' Wizard Miyagi goes like 'Gee I dunno man. I only traced the sparkly stone's energy here. If it's here, dude's gotta be here too rite?' Guy in the Chair goes 'so how do we know for sure? And if it's in there how do we steal back his bling?' Then Dave says 'We need a distraction, so we can sneak into his hut, find the bling and steal it back.' But then I say 'But wait, we're stealing shit again? But we just gone legit man.' The Rock says 'But it's for the good of the universe man. And Bug Head says that the Purple Prune stole them bling from other people in the first place, so we're stealin it back.' Wizard Miyagi replies 'Preach, brotha.'

Luis: Plan in place, ya homie, who was very nervous, sweating and scared that I was gonna die by the way cuz I was aboutta knock on the door of the biggest bad guy in the UNIVERSE -

Luis: - to tell him a story.

Author's Note: I had an absolute blast writing this. I wanted these characters to meet for some time (thanks memes) and now it has finally happened, at least in my universe. This turned out to be more like a campfire story concept where more and more characters join in to listen to the story. I intended this to be a two part story so share with me your thoughts on what you do think is going to happen next.
