3rd Person POV
"Wake up, it's already 3:00."
Thor Odinson groaned and opened his eye to see his wife standing above him, arms crossed.
"I'm sorry Val." He said, sitting up. "I'm a failure."
Valkyrie sat down next to her husband and sighed. She grasped his hand and used her free one to hold his face. Her thumb gently brushed up and down his eyepatch as she spoke,
"No you're not. I couldn't save my sisters, my family... does that make me a failure?"
"Of course not." Thor said, Val nodded.
"You did everything you could, you're the farthest thing from a failure."
She kissed her husband before standing up and yanking him out of bed.
"I'm not letting you repeat my mistakes, we're going for an adventure today."
Val threw clothes at Thor while assuring him that Brun and Dahlia were with Enar and Britt and they'd be fine. Once he was ready, Thor and Val made their way down to Heimdall's post.
"Heimdall!" Val called, the man turned and smiled at the pair.
"Tell Thor what you told me." Val said, he nodded.
"Mista is well. As is Graham and Frigga."
"Where are they?" Thor asked suddenly.
"That... I don't know." Heimdall lied, for he did know. But he could not say. Right after Mista and the others were taken into space, Dr. Strange pulled Heimdall aside.
"I need you to lie and say that you have no idea where any of them are. And if they ask say that Brenner was in the beam, trust me. You need to."
"I will, Strange," Heimdall said, "But only because The Ancient One trusted you. Don't let us down."
Strange nodded and shook his hand.
"Thank you, Heimdall."
Strange walked away but Wong stayed and rubbed his temples.
"I need you to tell me if they ever become mortally wounded. Strange has shared to me his plan, and all of them need to be alive for it to work."
Heimdall nodded and Wong quickly thanked him before walking off.
"See, Mista is ok." Val said, holding Thor's hand.
"Is that all you wished to show me?"
"No, Thor we are going to to relive the old days."

"Tony, Thor's here!" Pepper called, as her long time friends entered her home. Tony rounded a corner, sunglasses and suit on, clapping his hands together.
"Point-break, Vino, what's up?"
"You know why we're here Tony, now where are the others?"
Steve Rogers smiled and rounded the same corner with his old suit on.
"Looking fierce Rogers." Tony said, making finger guns.
"Is everyone hiding back there?" Val asked, Steve nodded.
"Come on out then!" Val called, Thor chuckled.
Natasha, Bruce, Clint, Bucky, Sam, Scott, Hope, Peter Parker and Loki rounded the corner all at once.
All of them were in their old suits. (Banner wore slacks and a button up shirt)
"Loki, what are you doing here?"
"Well, we all were thinking and the kids wouldn't want us to be sad." Hope said, "While searching for them, we should still make time for ourselves. We're doing all we can do."
"Speaking of which, that ship you took to Earth. Garbage, the thing's unfixable. I'm going to have to make a new ship out of scratch." Tony butted in.
"But, that's beside the point." Sam said.
"So, we thought we'd start back up our game nights." Bruce said, Thor smiled.
"I'd like that."
They started off the night with good old fashioned Sorry! Because the game only had four players they split up into groups, of three.
The blue team was Thor, Val and Loki. The green team was Bruce, Nat, and Tony. The yellow team was Sam, Steve and Bucky. And the red team was Peter and Clint.
Shockingly, the red team one. Next up was BINGO which Tony argued shouldn't be played seen as though it was a game of luck. He lost. In fact, the victor was none other than Clint Barton himself.
"You cheated."
"How could I have cheated? If anybody cheated it'd be Loki."
Loki smirked.
"He rigged it." Tony said, Nat gave him a pat on the shoulder.
Next up was twister, the person in charge of the spinner was Bruce seen as though high stress situations seemed to trigger the big guy. And Twister stressed the scientist out.
People dropped one by one until there were only two left, Natasha Romanoff-Banner, and Scott Lang.
"How are you so good at this, Scott?" Clint asked in amazement.
"Cassie loved this game when she was younger. We used to play it all the time."
"It's true." Hope said, crossing her arms.
"I thought it was going to come down to Natasha and Hope." Bruce added in.
"We all did." Bucky said.
"Left hand on green." Bruce said.
Nat carefully moved her hand to the nearest green space as did Scott. Problem was, Scott had occupied the space she was going for, making her twist her arm in an unnatural way.
"Give up yet Ms. Black Widow?" Scott asked, sweat pouring down his face.
Nat purposely fell, making Scott the victor. He jumped up and huggged Hope screaming, "I did it! I did it!" Over and over again.
"You let him win?" Val asked angrily, "he's never going to stop mentioning it."
"He deserves the win." Nat said, thinking about Janice and her own little girl.
"What's next on the gaming radar?"
Before Nat could respond, FRIDAY's voice rang throughout the room.
"Incoming message from Nick Fury."
Her voice was soon replaced by Fury's.
"Attention Stark, we found the headquarters of what we believe to be the last remaining HYDRA operatives."
Scott looked around the room before saying,
"Let's go kick their ass."
