Noah was in shock. He had failed, he had been part of team that was supposed to save the multiverse. Him, Eli, Kyle, Chris, Emily, Garrett, Hunter, and Lane had all been plucked from their normal everyday lives and been forced to fight in a war. But now Kyle and Eli, Or the Doctor as he insisted to be called, were dead and who knew who else. Now he, Lane, Cisco Ramone, and Rocket Raccoon sat on a log mourning the lost of those they cared about.
"They can't be dead," River Song, the Doctor's wife, said to herself. "They can't be."
"What do you think happened to them?" Black Widow asked, looking at River Song.
"I don't know yet but they can't have died."
"I think we all just need time to mourn," said Thor. "This place isn't acceptable."
River went with Lane to go examine the Falcon's damage, while the others went inside the palace to mourn.
On Titan, Garrett, Hunter, Tony, Nebula, and Alice were the sole survivors of their group. Chris, Emily, Drax, Mantis, Quill, Peter, and Dr. Strange were all dead. Alice sat down beside Tony and tried to console him, Nebula stood and looked into the alien sunset, and Garrett and Hunter were still in shock.
"It's all my fault." Tony said, as tears rolled down his face.
"It's nobody's fault Tony." Alice whispered, putting an arm around his neck.
"All those kids, they were innocent." Tony choked, rubbing his head.
"They did not die in vain." Nebula said.
Tony looked at Nebula and stood up, he punched a rock and put his head against it.
"They died because we weren't smart enough to save them!"
Hunter came up behind them, "they died because of that phycotic giant purple alien with a nutsack chin."
"Hunter, too early." Alice whispered, looking away.
"I'm sorry." Hunter said as he sat down.
Garrett, bloodied and bruised, looked at Tony with a stern look on his face, "What now?"
Tony looked up, "We avenge."
"To avenge, we need to get back to earth." Alice pointed out.
"Nebula," Hunter asked. "you came here on a ship right?"
"Yes, but it was destroyed in the landing."
"What about the Guardians ship?" Garrett asked carefully.
"That might still be intact." Alice said.
The group set out to look for the ship. It was a long and bumpy trip, and it took two days to find it. The ship had taken major damage when Thanos threw a moon at them.
"So, you expect us to get this thing in the air?" Hunter asked curiously, looking at Alice.
"Yeah," Garrett agreed. "I don't even think the engines have enough power to get us out of orbit."
"If Hunter uses his ability to control the wind, he can launch the ship out of orbit. We can then use the ship's engines in a low gravity environment to slowly pilot ourselves back to earth."
"Or we can use his electrical powers to supercharge the engines." Nebula said.
"That could work." Tony responded as he slowly climbed into the ship after the others.
"The odds of us making it back are unlikely." Alice whispered, looking at Hunter.
"I live for those odds." Hunter said.
Everyone slowly gathered in the throne room. Nobody talked, nobody moved, they silently whispered prayers for their fallen colleagues.
Suddenly, the sound of the TARDIS engines sounded throughout the throne room, breaking the silence. Everyone looked to the left, the TARDIS stood tall and majestic against the dark room. River slightly perked up, It looked as if it had come to comfort the Doctors last companions. The doors opened up and out stepped Scott Lang. Behind him stepped out John Smith, the Doctor's half human twin, his face was cold and grey.
"Hey guys.." Scott said.
"Hello, my name is John Smith, and I'm the Doctor.."
"Doctor..- I mean John what are you doing here?" River asked, obviously flustered, John sighed heavily and stood there quietly for a moment as if he didn't know what to say.
"It all started when my wife and I.." John said as he held up his hand and showed his wedding ring.
"We were having Dinner," he smiled. "It was our anniversary, we had just started to eat when Rose said she didn't feel good. So, I followed my first instinct and went over to see if she had a fever. She didn't have one, so I thought that she was tired. When I had started to help her to bed, she fell down and fear pierced her expression. She just turned to dust in the wind, next thing I know, the TARDIS was there with Scott Lang inside, it took me here." John explained, wiping the thick tears from his eyes.
"What do we do now?" asked Hunter.
"What do mean what do we do now," Thor said. "We lost."
"You ready kid?" Tony asked Hunter.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Hunter said, sliding to the right.
Before he raised his arms and began to use his powers to lift the ship into the air. The ship began to groan as it tottered from side to side.
"Hunter you got this?" Garrett asked.
"Oh yes." Hunter Groaned, letting the lightning surge off his body.
The ship began to move forward at an increasing rate of speed. The orange sky began to melt away and was replaced by the stars of space. Nebula was at the controls and began to try and fire off the engines.
"No wonder the engines are so weak." Nebula shouted as she turned around to face them. "We don't have enough power!"
"I can fix that." Hunter said, running toward the engines.
"The rest of you.. strap yourselves in." Nebula shouted.
"All right, I can do this," he said to himself out loud, "its like powering a car..right?" He took the main power cable and pulled it apart. He then let the electricity flow through him, he let it flow full force. The ship flew through the air with its engine fully powered. It flew through space at incredibly fast speed. Hunter was feeling the stress of all the lightning
"Hey Sparky!" Tony barked. "I think we have enough." Hunter heard that and went to ease up, but he had stretched himself to thin and passed out, and with that the ship stopped.
"What the heck happened?" Garrett asked as he stepped out of his seat.
"Hunter overused himself." Alice said as she held him, "He's gonna be okay but he can't do that again or it will kill him."
"Great, now what?" Tony asked as he turned to Nebula, "Blue man group, where are we?"
"We seem to be in orbit somewhere over Naro-Atzia." Nebula said.
"Great let's see if we can radio for help." Garrett said as he reached for the communication device.
"No!" Nebula said before she grabbed Garrett's hand.
"Why not, we can stop there, fix the ship and refuel." Garrett said.
"We can't." Nebula said.
"Why can't we?" Garrett asked.
"Because we don't own this ship, if we go down there we will be arrested and executed for theft."
"Well that's a bit intense." Tony said.
"That's way of this planet." Nebula says.
"So we just sit here?" Tony asked.
"No, we work on the ship with what we have." Nebula said as she stood up from her chair to head to the back to the ship. Garrett took her place and messed with the communication device to try and contact a passing ship.
"Yeah, we have nothing!" Stark shouted, "I searched the ship as soon as I got on here there are no tools!"
"Tony are you okay?" Alice asked.
"Did you seriously just ask me that?" Tony retaliated. "We are trapped on a metal a metal whale in the blackness of space, orbiting a planet that we can't go to, and we just lost the biggest battle in the history of the Multiverse."
"I don't know about that," Garrett said as he continued to turn dials, "at least there isn't a wave of antimatter destroying the Multiverse."
"I'm sorry what?" Tony said.
"Oh nothing," Garrett said, he then spoke under his breath, "Please don't tell me we we're going to have to deal with that too."
"Tony, I'm sure there's a way to get them back, there has to be." Alice said as she too began to feel the gravity of what just occurred. Then it hit her, "Tom!?"
Garrett looked out the window and saw a ship passing by. He quickly started speaking into the microphone. "Come in, come in, we are in danger we need help. There is an unresponsive crew member.-" The ship jumped away before Garrett finished. Tony kept going on about how much of a failure the Avengers were, Alice cried when she realised who she lost, and Garrett just kept holding the radio. He then looked out into the black of space. He felt so weak. This war had taken everything from him, his home, his family, and now his friends. He then made one last attempt to call help "Hello. Anyone. Please. Anyone out there, please help." Garrett sat down the radio controls and leaned back in the pilot's chair and prepared to die. He had closed his eyes and began to drift off when he heard something come over the radio.
"Hello?" a female voice said, "This is…...one…...copy," the voice kept cutting in and out, but it sounded familiar to Garrett he began to turn the dials.
"Yes, yes, we copy!" Garrett replied.
"This agent…of…...do you copy?" The woman said as it cut in out of the static, again Garrett replied as he got the right frequency.
"Yes, we copy, this Garrett Cash and I'm on the Benatar, we're out of power and our ship is badly damaged we need help!"
"Do you copy?" the voice said clearly, then Garrett began to recognise the voice. It was from some show Eli used to make him watch. He couldn't remember which one it was though. Then voice spoke. "This is S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson onboard Zephyr One, we will be sending a boarding party to get you guys out of there."
"Did she just say she was from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Tony asked.
"Yes," Garrett said with a smile, "yes she did."
