A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've been super busy with work and school...and actually considering becoming a stripper instead of continuing my math, but that's a story for a different time.
When Maria's father arrived a short time later, everyone sat in awkward silence as John stood, glaring at all of them.
Emily looked at her cell phone as it went off, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh look, my friend Peter is here! See you later!" She exclaimed, getting up only for her father to glare at her, which made her sit back down next to Maria.
"Invite him up because you aren't going anywhere until someone here tells me what the hell is going on!" John growled, making his youngest back her chair as close to Maria and Steve as possible.
"Well John, it's like this_" Tony started, only to shut up when everyone else glared at him, "Steve?" Tony asked.
Steve sighed, "With all due respect, John, this really isn't_" Steve started, only for a voice to cut him off, calling for Emily.
"Hey Emily? Are you_"
The voice abruptly stopped when a boy of about eighteen entered.
"Is this a bad time?" He asked, looking at his friend, who nodded and he started to slowly back out of the kitchen.
"Sit your ass down, Parker! If we're going down, we're bringing you with us!" She snapped, making Peter sit down beside her.
"For the record, I have no idea what the hell is going on here."
"That makes two of us, Peter." John said, sighing, "Someone better tell me what the hell is going on before I start getting angry."
"Wait, you aren't already angry?" She asked, only to be shut up by Maria slapping her upside the head.
"Gamora's sister and Thanos. That's what's happening." The older Peter said, "Nebula is after a necklace that Gamora gave to Maria awhile back."
John turned to Maria, narrowing his eyes at her.
"I hope you realize that you're putting the children and Emily in imminent danger."
"Not_"
"And by rights I shouldn't even let you see Emily with this job of yours."
Maria cleared her throat, "Well, dad, Danny and I are still technically her legal guardians. So until the courts give you the right to have her living with you full time, I can see her all I want and you don't have any say in it." She said, standing up and glaring at him before he turned to leave, only for her voice to stop him once more, "I wish you died instead of mom."
"That makes two of us. But I suppose we can't all get what we want." He said, not turning to look back at her as he left.
"You know, for a second there I thought he was going to slap you around." Rocket said, crossing his arms.
The agent said nothing as she grabbed her things and left the kitchen, Lilith getting up and following her.
"So...Peter and I are going to go with her..." Emily said awkwardly, trailing off.
"I will go with you." Gamora said, getting up and following after them.
The rest of the group looked at each other before getting up and following Gamora, all except Pepper, Betty, and Jane, who were all confused as to what just happened.
"Where are we going?" Emily asked as everyone piled into the black SUV.
"You're not bringing us on a murder rampage, are you?" Tony asked, earning a glare from everyone.
"Are Jane, Betty, and Pepper going to notice our absense?" Drax asked.
Maria sighed, "No and quite possibly. We're going to SHIELD." She answered as she put the van in drive and pulled away from the curb.
"So, who wants to play a game?" The younger Peter asked.
"I have a great idea for a game!" Emily said excitedly.
"Really? What is it?"
"It's called the quiet game! Whoever talks first gets kicked out of the car!"
Peter gasped, "You're mean!" He said, about to say something else when the whole group cut them off.
"SHUT UP!"
A/N: Let me know what y'all think. Please review.
