they had collectively decided to walk out of the ship and search for thanos, after introducing themselves to each other

the alien lady turned out to be called mantis, quill was peter quill or starlord as he liked to call himself. the grey guy was drax

"what the hell happened to this planet?" wondered quill "it's eight degree off its axis" he held some sort of scale in his hand "gravitational pull is all over the place"

"yeah, we got one advantage. he's coming to us" tony said "we'll use it, alright i have a plan or at least the beginnings of one. it's pretty simple. we draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. definitely don't wanna dance with this guy, we just want the gauntlet"

drax yawned audibly

"are you yawing?"

he yawned again

"in the middle of this while i'm breaking it down? huh? did you hear what i said?"

"i stopped listening after you said 'we need a plan'"

"okay, mr clean is on his own page"

"see, "not winging it" isn't really what they do" explained quill

"are you kidding me?!" evi put her face into her hands

"uh, what exactly is it that they do?" asked peter pointing at mantis and drax behind evis back

"kick names, take ass" said mantis proudly

"yeah that's right"

"i'm sure something just got lost in translation" evi whispered at peter, who nodded wide eyed

tony stared at them like he was trying to figure out a puzzle and sighed as if he couldn't find an answer

"all right, just get over here, please" he advised "mr lord can you get your folks to circle up?"

"star-lord is fine"

they stepped closer after quill had nodded at them

"we gotta coalesce, cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude.."

"dude don't call us plucky. we don't know what it means" quill interrupted "all right, we're optimistic, yes. i like your plan... except it sucks so let me do the plan and that way it might be really good"

"tell him about the dance-off to save the universe" said drax

"this is gonna be a disaster" whispered evi, hiding her face in peters shoulder. she wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry at these ridiculous people

"what dance-off?" asked tony

"it's not a- it's not- it's nothing"

"like in footloose, the movie?" peter assisted

"exactly like the movie"

"peter" evi warned through her teeth

"i'm sorry, it's a great movie" peter said, raising his hands in defence

"it is!" said quill excitingly "it's still the greatest movie in history right?"

"it never was" said peter, after evi had slapped his arm to say something that would get quill away from his trip down memory lane and focus on the task at hand

"don't encourage this alright?" tony advised, turning around and stepping down in their direction "we're not getting any help from flash gordon here"

"flash gordon? by the way that's a compliment... don't forget i'm half human, so that 50% of me that's stupid, that's a 100% you" he drew an invisible circle around the three in front of him
