In the distance I can see a planet approaching, but our ship doesn't show any signs of slowing down. "I think... I think we're here."

Tony approaches my side quickly, "I don't think this rig has a self-park function." He motions for me to take a hold of a handle. "Get your hand into this steering gimbal. Close those around it. You understand?"

"Got it Tony." I steady myself and ground my feet into the ground, preparing to use my strength to guide the ship.

"This was meant for one big guy, so we gotta to move at the same time Tink."

"Ok. Let's do this. Peter hang on..." I glance back to make sure he heard me, he gives me a small nod in reassurance. Facing forward again I wait for more instructions from Tony.

"We might wanna turn. Turn! Turn! Turn!!" I hear Peter's panicked voice from behind us. I can see our ship heading straight for a building that looked like a jack. I could see Tony using all his force to move his steering gimbal, so I did the same. It was no use, we couldn't get the ship to turn away in time, and we clipped the jack looking building. I'm pretty sure the ship was severely damaged now. There's no escape. My mind said, and another wave of nausea racked through me. Breathing deep I tried to push the feeling down and focus.

I notice Strange grab Peter and pull him towards us before making motions with his hand causing a shield of energy to surround us. It is clear this landing will be rough. "Brace yourselves!" I call out as the ship starts to crash through the ground. The earth beneath the ship flying up into the air, the impact sending us crashing down, losing our footing and grip on the steering. Eventually the ship came to a halt. I picked myself up off the floor, mentally checking myself over assuring myself I was fine and no damage had come to us.

I could see Strange helping Tony off the floor.

"You alright?" Tony says panting, the landing taking more out of us than we probably care to admit. "That was close. I owe you one." He said while looking at Strange. He looks at me quickly and gives me a small nod once he realizes I'm unharmed. Then Peter drops down in front of us, hanging upside down on his web.

"Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something, and I eat one of you, I'm sorry."

I roll my eyes and puff out a mix between a groan and a sigh. Tony points up at him, slight irritation in his voice as he speaks. "I don't wanna hear another single pop culture out of you for the rest of the trip. You understand?"

"I'm trying to say that...something is coming." No sooner were the words out of Peter's mouth did a grenade roll into my view. Before I could react and shield either Peter or Tony the energy blast sent us all flying. I hit the ground hard and stumbled to my feet disoriented as people ran into the ship, one of them yelling Thanos' name at the top of his lungs.

I watch, half dazed, as the man launched a blade at Strange who easily deflected it. His coat wrapped around another one's face, smothering him and throwing him on the floor. Tony flying into the fight in his suit, getting pinned onto a metal structure magnetically. Peter scared beyond belief, webbing up another one before the first one kicks him down on the floor. Enraged I launch at him and pull him off of Peter, my motherly instincts kicking in.

"Leave him alone!" I yell as we tussle on the floor. I stand up over the man, but he launches something at me wrapping me up causing me to fall on the floor rather suddenly.

Everything moves as a quick blur. Tony pulls free of the magnet while the man struggling with the cape finds release from it as well. Tony clamps on him, keeping him on the floor a cannon aimed at him towards the floor. The man who I fought with grabs Peter again, this time in a head-lock and a gun pressed to his temple. Strange brings out one of his magical shields while I continue to struggle on the floor to break the binds.
