It was a normal day flying through space when I heard an emergency call come through. I was currently helping the few survivors of Xander so I decided to help after I was done. I had taken another hour before I could head that way but I had finally arrived to a terrible scene a broken ship and body's everywhere, so I set to work since some races can survive in space without air for a while I started checking but they all seemed dead as I was getting ready to follow a trail made by a large space ship I notice a flash of green around one of the body's so I decided to grab the body and head to closet planet. When I landed I gently laid the person on the ground and noticed a large amount of bruising around his neck, most likely broken but he was still breathing so I spoke hoping he would wake up. "Hey, can you hear me?" I waited to see if her responded I thought it useless until his eyes fluttered open but he didn't move just stared at me he must have sensed his neck was injured because he raised a hand and green magic spewed from his hand healing the bones but the bruises were still there he finally spoke "Thank you for saving me, but we need to go."

"What do you mean?" I asked concerned as he sat up rubbing gently on his neck as he coughed in pain he responded "Thanos, he is collecting the infinity stones and is going to snap, He sent his people to Tera to collect some, they are meeting on Titan."

"Then we better get to Titan. Think you for holding your breath for long enough?" I asked as he looked at me confused but nodded So I knelt and allowed him to crawl on my back as we head towards Titan. As we arrived we noticed a large crashed, a normal size ship, and a large not crashed ship so we got closer and landed as we landed Loki jumped off my back and we prepared for a fight.

We lost. I was helping Mr. Stark off the ground. He was gushing blood so I was patching it up some when my senses blared causing me to turn to two people landing taking a fighting stance so I pushed Tony behind me ready to attack but he looked scared but he spoke "Loki? What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were locked up?" The lady with him looked confusedly at him as he smirked and told Tony what happened at an abbreviated pace. Tony looked surprised as Loki said "Where are the avengers?" With a confused look Tony huffed and said "Got into a fight avengers are done they don't exist." Loki looked sad which Tony noticed and gave a questioning look and asked "Why the long face reindeer game?" Loki snorted and responded "The whole goal of New York was to bring you together, and hope to god someone knock the crap out of me, I always planned to lose. I had to make sure you guys saw the threat." Tony took a step back, eyes wide as he said this as if something clicked he said "You we're under control? Who else knows?" Loki smiled sadly and nodded before saying "Just Bruce." Before my Spidey Sense blurred I fell from it and looked up with horror as everyone watched me confused "He.... He .... He did something about to happen." Everyone's faces fell and then Drax, Mantis, and Quill turned to dust. We heard "Aw man..." From Quill. We turned to Strange as he spoke to me, still blaring. I curled up into a ball, a tear coming down my face as I watched him dust, saying to Tony ''It was the only way..." Before disappearing. Nebula went quietly and my senses calmed down before one large rush hit me as my head turned to Mr. Stark I stood and as he reached forward hugging me I cried "No.. No.. Mr. Stark, please Don't." He looked at me as I laid him on the ground and said to us as Loki joined me "Don't cry.... I believe in you..." Before making eye contact with Loki and saying "Protect him.." Before leaving us as well I looked at my hands The dust covering them was Mr. Stark I cried Loki Gently hugged me after deciding how to treat me. We sat there for a few minutes before I spoke. "We need to leave. If we stay we die." As I looked up at Loki looking at me with Pity and Carol the same she nodded and Said "We have two space ships we should take the small one it should be faster." So we headed to the Milano and boarded. We didn't worry about fixing the flying mechanism, instead we decided where to go. We found a table where you could see the whole space so They explained how it worked to me which was fun. I tried to Push the death into the back of my head. I had to be strong. Halfway through their explanation a ping went off on a planet unlabeled. Carol looked shocked and said "He used the stones again." I sighed waiting for the pain again but it never came, But I had a plane. I looked at them as they looked at each other like having a silent conversation. I broke their silence as I said "I have a plan, It's risky but It could work but we only have one chance." They stared at me, eyeing me up as Loki said, "Child, what is this plan?" Curiously
