Carol's ship came to a halt. (Y/N) woke from his sleep as it did. The trip from Xandar to Krypton had been a long one.

"We're here," Carol said from the cockpit.

(Y/N) walked over and looked out at the planet of his birth.

It was ruined, that's for sure. The surface was completely gray, with the smaller remains forming rings around the larger bits. The light of the red star did nothing to change the gloom that hung over the planet. There was no light coming from inside the shattered ball, only the darkness of space.

"I want to see it," said (Y/N).

"What?"

(Y/N) walked to the ship's airlock and grabbed an oxygen mask. Due to the planet's star he wouldn't be able to function in space. He pulled the lever, opening the airlock, and floated out of the ship to gaze upon his ruined world himself.

He floated down towards one of the larger pieces, landing gracefully. His foot left a print on the surface, something that wouldn't go away for millennia, now that the atmosphere was ripped apart.

(Y/N) jumped as something tapped his shoulder. It was Carol.

"You ok?" She asked.

"It's safe."

"What?"

"The reason I left Earth. There's someone there, someone I love. I left to make sure nothing from my world ever threatened us again. But now I know. It's safe."

"If you love them why did you leave?"

(Y/N) didn't know the answer.

"Look. You've come all this way. Let me take you back to Earth. I have friends there too, maybe I could meet this person you love."

"That would be great," (Y/N) said. "Thank you. I don't know why you chose to help me, but you did."

"Truthfully, I don't either. It just felt like the right thing to do."

(Y/N) smiled. Carol was such a nice person, and a good friend.

It was at that moment that (Y/N) heard a voice in his head, one that wasn't his own.

"(Y/N)? (Y/N), can you hear me?"

It was Wanda. She was in his head.

"What is it?" Carol said as he turned away from her.

"It's her."

That was all Carol needed to know.

"Wanda? What's happening? How are you in my head this far away?"

"We need you. We need your help. Back home. They're trying to get Vision's stone."

"I'm coming. Hold them off for as long as you can. I'll be there soon."

"I have to go," (Y/N) said. "Point me in the direction of Earth."

Carol pointed towards the sun. (Y/N) shot off the rock, causing it to flip over itself. He was flying at such speed he had never gone before in his life.

Wanda was in trouble.
