"How do you feel?"

"I'm fine"

"Tell me the truth James, you've been coming here for years"

"Why do I have to be here again?"

"You know it's required, why don't you start with the girl you always talk about?"

"Natasha" He mumbles

"We were like every the average love story"

"Like a fairytale"

"Y'know where the two best friends can't be just friends and they fall inlove?"

"Yeah that was us" Marcus sat in a chair facing his therapist.

"How did that make you feel?" The therapist, Mr. Adam's asked jotting down things on his notepad. "It was great, y'know good old 1990's" Marcus said chuckling but looking down.

"Tell me what happened"

---------------------------

Marcus finished his therapy session and went back to his shared apartment with Ray. He got his keys out and unlocked the door "Raymond, I'm back!" He called through the house.

He closed the door behind him and walked up the stairs into his room, taking his coat off and passing the many photos he had of him, Natasha, Peter and his mother on his desk.

"James Quill" He closes his eyes, hearing the one voice he hadn't heard in years, slowly turning around to face the man. "Fury" The two stare at each other unfazed "You need my help" Marcus states already knowing.

"Matter of a fact I do" He places down the photo of the tesseract on his bed. Marcus doesn't even need to look twice, knowing what it is already "The tesseract?" He states but it turns out more like a question. "It's been taken" Fury says but Marcus sighs "Fury I already told you I'm not doing anymore dirty work. I joined to find Peter not anything else" He says sitting in his desk chair.

Fury holds his grudge "What about your super team? The adventure bros?" Fury glares at him "Avengers! Sorry, my bad" He half jokes, Fury shakes his head standing up "We need you on this, if not the-" "Who took it?" Marcus cuts him off. Fury didn't like being cut off. "He's not from here, goes by the name of Loki-" "God of mischief? Brother of Thor and son of Odin?" He furrows his eyebrows cutting Fury off again.

He definitely did his research.... everywhere, literally everything. "Yes, that's him. He's taken down our headquarters and we're trying to get the avengers together. We want you to be apart of it" "Woah woah woah! I got a grandfather to take care of. I can't put him or my cousin in danger its better for them. Now if you'll please get the hell out of my house" He says but Fury stays completely ignoring him.

"You are the definition of dangerous James." Fury glares. "My name is Marcus, and I know. But at least I can control it, unlike that Bruce guy. But seriously who the hell would- you know nevermind" Marcus says.

"Fine, Marcus. If you don't help this whole world could be destroyed. You don't want that for your Grandfather or your cousin right?" Fury says and Marcus rolls his eyes, thinking, then finally giving in "Fine. Let's get this son of a bitch then. No offense Odin, just a reference" He says after and Fury nods his head slowly, eyebrows furrowed. "Just send me the coordinates to the helicarrier I can fly there. I just have some things to do" Fury nods and the coordinates are immediately sent. "Pleasure doing business with ya" He says and Fury rolls his eye. "Wish I could say the same" He then walks out the door.

Marcus grunts "Now I have more shit to do. Great" He gets a text from Jason "Git shum. Cooffe poleas" He chuckles "Still doesn't know how to text" then he leaves out the house, Gets coffee from Tim Hortons and goes to Jason's nursing home. He opens the door and sees one of the assistants "Afternoon Mrs. Garcia" He says giving her a side hug "Good afternoon Marcus" He goes into the main room and finds Jason's space "Hey grandpa" He hands him the coffee and sits down "When are you going to start coming back around Marc?" He gets straight to the point "I can't stay for long I have some things to do I'll be back in a few days" He ignores his question kissing his cheek then speed walking out of the building.

He grabs the bag he packed out of the car and parks it in his secret garage. "Why do I do these things?" He questions himself and checks all of his stuff, taking his phone out and checking the coordinates fury sent. He takes off in the sky and lands on the carrier not long after, there was workers running to initiate the flight plan "You supposed to be here?" A mysterious voice comes from behind him, he turns around to a woman with a finger on her gun which was in her hip holster. She had familiar red hair, plump pink lips, arched eyebrows, and forest green eyes He once knew.

His heart skipped a beat, her eyes softened like she recognized him too. But he shook it off, it couldn't be her. She left, she's gone. "I think I'm in the right place, do I know you by the way?" But her eyes were focused on one thing, the necklace "Where did you get that?" She asks reaching for it, he steps back "Woah, slow your roll. It was a gift, well I kind of-" but he sees the necklace on the woman identical to the one he got Natasha. The sun "No no no, no, it can't be no" He paces, eventually finding himself in a hidden part of the carrier. All of the memories, the pictures, the dinners, the family, then the pain.

He throws up and starts sweating, shaking, hyperventilating but feels and hand on his back. He meets the eyes of woman he loved maybe the woman he loves. The stare looking at each other "Nat?" He finally breaks the silence.

"Jay?"
