"3000 credits ! for this thing ! AND IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK !" Francis yelled as him and Pym continued to walk the streets of Knowhere
"Well obviously it doesn't work. Only a deemed Accuser can use its power"
Francis continued to twirl the hammer in his hand as Pym brought his wrist device up
"Alright I'm calling Franklin, telling him we got the first artifact"
Francis snorted
"Maybe they'll all be this easy"
"Heh, yeah right. Fat chance in hell" Pym jokes before His wrist device turned on
"Franklin come in, this is Pym"
There was a slight sense of static before Franklin's voice could be heard
"Hey Pym who's the treasure hunt going"
"Surprisingly good, just got Ronan's Hammer from the auction only cost 3000 credits"
"Really ? wow would've thought it cost more. Alright, good job. Keep in in your possession there's actually more on Knowhere I need you to get"
Both the boys raised any eyebrow
"Where is it ?"

Sam was frantically out of breath as he just went down a 5ith blacket market ally to no prevail as he still didn't find that girl
"Shit shit shit ! so not cool" Sam groaned before sprinting again
Sam was running but he was running so fast he didn't notice where he was going and ran straight into James of all people
"WOAH ! Sam ?! THERE YOU ARE I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THIS WHOLE ENTIRE PLACE FOR YOU GUYS WHERE'S PYM AND FRANCIS !"
James seemed pretty agitated as it may be but his emotions so willed down when he saw just how nervous Sam was
"Sam you ok ?"
"WHAT ! YEAH YEAH I'M GREAT MAN ! 100 % AYE OK ! why do you ask"
He was sweating James could see it from how exposed his glands were and if there was one person you didn't want to lie to it was James. Intimidation ran strong within him thanks to his mother
"Sam I'm gonna give you-"
"I MET SOME GIRL IN A BAR AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS COMING ON TO ME BUT TURNS OUT SHE WAS JUST USING ME FOR MONEY AND SHE TOOK ALL OUR CREDITS AND NOW WERE BROKE AND I MAY HAVE JEOPARDIZED THE MISSION IM SORRY !"
Granted it was a lot to take in James got it all
And Sam really wished he didn't
"WHAT THE FUCK !" James yelled before immediately looking at his wrist device to find out they were in fact broke 0 credits
James face grew red in anger as he began to yell Russian slurs and thankfully Sam was glad he only knew one language
"ЧЕРТ ПОБЕРИ ! У НАС БЫЛА ОДНА РАБОТА! И МЫ УЖЕ ОБЪЕДИНИЛИСЬ! КАК ТЫ ТЕРЯЕШЬ 10000 КРЕДИТОВ ЗА ОДИН ГРЕБЫЙ ПРИСЕТ! ЭТОГО ТИПА БЫСТРОГО ДЕРЬМА Я ОЖИДАЮ ОТ ФРЭНСИСА! НО ТЫ ! СЭМ! ЧТО ЗА ЧЕРТ ! ТЫ ТУПОЙ БЛЯДЬ!"
When James Finished Sam just nervously chuckled
"I'm guessing none of those words mean your amazing Sam and I'm so glad you took me on this adventure ?"
"Net" James spat

"Franklin's fucking insane"
"Francis he's one of the most power cosmic beings of all time and is a multi level genius in quantum physics and science"
"All I heard was nerd talk"
Pym rolled his eyes in annoyance
"The Collector Pym really !"
"He has the second thing we need" Pym said as he opened a holograph on his wrist device showing 10 different rings
"Look, Franklin ran some tests and he said The Collector has hold of Mandarin's 10 rings, The rings of power Francis. MANDARIN'S 10 RINGS It took Tony almost forever to beat him and even longer to keep the rings sanctioned off away from him and the fact that it's here scott free where anyone can buy them doesn't sit right with Franklin and honestly it doesn't sit right with me either. We need to get them so we can send them off far away"
Again Francis rolled his eyes in utter annoyance at the words Pym spewed but deep down he knew the young genius was right
"Ok But were not doing this without James or Sam so we find them first and then we head to the Collector's Museum"
Nodding his head Pym agreed but before the two could say anything more in their discussion Pym's ears perked when he heard a flurry of Russian slurs and curses
"Well I guess that wouldn't be as hard as we thought"
Francis was only confused but soon caught his gist when he heard the same thing and turned backwards to see James yelling at Sam in Russian
"Oh ?...well that's…..convenient. What do you think that's about ?"
"I don't know ?...wanna find out ?"
"...nah let's wait until he's done first"
"Good call"

To say the place was weird with James or Francis or Pym was an understatement
It was more or less quiet
Things ran smoothly in the Helicarrier with Director James Rogers even if Azari caught glimpses of the Agents sad faces that James wasn't here
You would think that they were worried for their very integral and essential leader. As he was not only director of the rebuilding world's top government organization and leader of the Avengers. But he also happened to be the world's next step in Super Soldier evaluation
Not to mention he was the Son of Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov
But not none of that was why they missed James
They missed him because without James who else would they look at when he was doing his morning workouts
Azari just laughed and chuckled
Leave it to a bunch of highly operated military agents to fall to their knees at the sight of James
But there was a silver lining to this all
Now the training room was open
Or so Azari thought as he was so sure fire that he would be able to run the training simulation alone this morning but was proven wrong when he heard the sounds of robots being cut into pieces and heavy breathe grunts and slashes
Emerging closer to the room Azari found Torunn fighting away at the simulation and by the racks of holographic pieces and robot parts all laid across the ground Azari could tell she's been in here for a while
By the way her movements weren't futile as she looked like a bull who was staring at the color red it seemed like she was full with anger in her body right now
Where else to let that anger out but the training simulation
"Taking a page from James's guide of how to deal with your problems 101, you do know he came from parents who gave him the natural gift to be bred for combat right ?"
"And so do I" Torunn grunted before slashing right through a hologram
"Yeah but this seems a little to easy for you, it's like if you tried to lift a car for your warm up it would be to easy"
"Is there an end to your mutiny" Torunn said as she grabbed a robot by the neck and crushed it in her hands
The sight made Azari flinch as he grabbed his own neck while a shiver ran down his spine
Luckily that so happened to make Torunn smile as she just casually waved her hands ending the simulation before bringing her sword to the holster on her back before taking a seat
Torunn buried her face in her hands and began to majorly slouch giving Azari the indication something was wrong as he began to rub his arm before making his way to her
"Hey" he said nudging her arm as he sat beside her she didn't move her head but her knew she knew he was there
Granted speeches were not really his thing and that was more so James's playing field he was a great listener
"I get the indication something is wrong, And now im no speech giver like James but I am a great listener"
A small chuckle escaped Torunn's lips
"Don't really think I need that right now"
"Well what do you need ? A friend ? A teammate ? A brother ?"
"Definitely not a Brother. I've had enough of that for a lifetime by now"
'Ohh right Torunn's half brother' Azari thought
'That's what this is about'
A great deal of silence was casted among the two and even if no words were spoken Azari knew it's what Torunn needed right now just someone to know he was there for her
Torunn let out a sigh as she finally made a movement towards Azari resting her head upon his shoulder before she spoke
"Do you ever wonder what life would be like if we were raised by our parents"
Looking blankly at the training rooms view of the city Azari kept his hands laced together tightly as he replied with one word
"Everyday"

"YOU WHAT !" Pym yelled as both him and Francis looked at their device to reveal every single credit they originally had was gone in the blink of an eye
Chuckling nervously Sam spoke
"Fun fact did you guys know only credits are called credits when it's online in person their money is space it called Units"
"SAM !" they all yelled in unison
"I SAID I WAS SORRY !"
Everyone groaned loudly in deep passionate anger all with different expressions
James gripped his blood red hair tightly
Pym let out a deep groan turning around not even able to look at at Sam
And Francis used every amount of willpower not to take an arrow out from his quiver
"What are we gonna do, were about to face the universe's biggest hoarder without any money or anything to trade and what we need in there is sure as hell worth a lot of money
"Units…." Sam corrected
"SHUT. UP." Francis yelled back
This was without a doubt the biggest candurum they had to face as the 4 boys found themselves in a stuck situation
With his hands on his hips James began to stuck on his teeth as he started to think
"ok well…..we have some options here"
"What options ?" Francis said
"We have no money and nothing to trade. We just got this stupid hammer and I'm sure you're not gonna give something that's worth more than the freaking Mona Lisa THAT'S ON YOUR BACK !"
"NO ! FRANCIS ! I'M NOT !" James yelled before sighing as he ran his hands through his hair
"But we do have something that's probably worth more value than anything we have to offer"
"What ?" Pym asked
"...Me"
