This Chapter will probably be the shortest one yet, I had this story already full written out and I wasn't satisfied with the way I brought back STARK and the others so I've been adding a lot of new stuff and somedays I just have writers block and I can't work, I have recently been re invigorated and I'll start updating more though.
Lane sat inside the burned out cockpit of the Falcon, he toyed with some of the switch's to try and restore the power with no avail. River stepped through the half open door and sat down in the copilot seat by Lane.
"I'm not gonna lie, this thing is pretty much destroyed." She said,
"Oh great." Lane said as he put his head in his hands.
"This is all wrong." River said as she looked at the wires dangling from the control panels. "This wasn't the plan."
"Well in my experience things never go quite as planned." Lane said.
"I don't understand, the whole purpose of this was so that we would win, how did we lose?" River asked.
"Maybe it's because you threw seven teenagers at almost undefeatable space god," Lane said a little angry, "On my earth this was a film, we weren't here, and they still lost."
"Even if you hadn't come your friends would still be dead." River said.
"Do you always have an answer for everything?" Lane asked.
"Not everything, I don't know where Stark is, I have no idea where the TARDIS went, and we have no idea who's still alive" River said as she looked through the Falcon's cracked windows at the fields, billows of smoke pouring out of crashed fighters and soldiers still milling around. Lane saw a few soldiers carrying Noah on a stretcher. He got up and ran after them.
"What the heck happened?" Lane asked.
"He passed out looking for survivors," A wakandan soldier answered, "we're taking him to Suri right now."
"Get him there faster." Lane says.
"So let me get this straight," Tony said as he and the other stood in the main control room of the Zephyr, "Coulson survived getting stabbed, he didn't tell us and rebuilt SHIELD after its collapse a few years ago, and your half alien with earthquake powers?"
"Has no one watched the news?" Daisy asked.
"If it makes you feel better, I hadn't seen a lightbulb till this morning." Alice said.
"Enough of me," Daisy said, "Who are you guys?"
"I'm Garrett, this is Alice, Nebula, and the unconscious gentlemen down stairs is Hunter." Garrett said.
"Why do you look like you're from Hogwarts?" Daisy asked.
"Because I am." Garrett said plainly, Daisy looked at him with surprise and was about to ask him how but Garrett answered her question, "it's the Multiverse."
"What are you guys doing in space?" Daisy asked.
"What are you guys doing in space?" Tony asked.
"We're tracking down our friends kind of dead husband." Daisy said, "What is your excuse?"
"Fighting Thanos." Tony answered.
"Thanos, Talbot was saying something about him when he was going crazy." Daisy said.
"Glenn Talbot?" Tony asked.
"Yeah." Daisy answered.
"You know him?" Garrett asked.
"Yeah, used to give him weapons back in the day." Tony said, "What happened to him?"
"He tried to destroy the planet, so I launched him into space." Daisy answered.
"How exactly?" Tony asked.
"I used my inhuman seismic ability to blast him." Daisy said.
"That's cool." Garrett said.
"Thanks." Daisy said.
"We have to get back to Earth." Tony said.
"I'm sorry but we're a little preoccupied at the moment." Simmons said behind them.
"With what?" Tony asked as he turned around, "What could possibly be more important than this?"
"What could be possibly more important than finding my husband!?" Simmons shouted.
"I hate to break it to you," Tony said as he approached her, "But your husband is probably dead."
"Easy Tony." Garrett said.
"You don't know that." Simmons said.
"It's simple statistics, half of all life is eliminated that means, that more than likely your husband was killed." Tony said.
"Some hero you are, aren't you supposed to stop this kind of thing!?" Simmons asked.
"I tried, believe me!" Tony said as he turned around and shouted as if he was addressing a large crowd, "I said that we needed a suit of armor around the world, whether it stepped on our precious freedoms or not."
"And look what that did." Garrett said.
"You be quite kid," Tony said as he walked over to him and put his finger to Garretts chest., "you weren't there, you didn't kill those people, you don't get to talk about how high and mighty you are. You were supposed to be reinforcements but you and your friends argue like a bunch of teenagers the whole time!"
"I didn't want to be here tony!" Garrett shouted as he threw his hands up.
"Guess what, we didn't need you here!" Tony shouted back.
"You know what," Garrett said, "I looked up to you, I idolized you! You're the man who never gives up, always finds a way out of any situation, and here you are blubbering away inside of a giant plane in the cold vacuum of space!"
"Alright guys that's enough!" Alice said.
"Listen we lost, big deal, but now we've got to figure out away to get those we lost back!" Alice said.
"She's right." Hunter said as he hobbled his way in the room.
"We've got to get back to earth." Garrett said.
"Not happening!" Simmons said.
"Yes it is." Tony said as he approached a massive red switch, Daisy nodded and began typing in the coordinates of Earth.
"I'm so close to getting him back you cannot possibly-" Simmons said before she was interrupted.
"Sorry kid." Tony said as he pulled the lever and earth jumped toward earth.
"No wait we have not calibrated for the-" Daisy tried to state before the plane jumped away.
