Peter is just fixing some adjustments to his suit watches in his room as Quill comes in. "Hey, we just got a distress signal. We need to get ready." He tells Peter. "Okay, who's the signal from?" Peter asks. "Apparently, it's an Asgard refugee ship." Quill says. "So, were gonna need some tunes." He says, leaving his room. Peter gets ready to help and moves to the front of the ship as they warp-jump and take off. Quill starts playing Rubberband man as they start to head to the signal. They all start mimicking the words as Groot keeps playing Defender. "Sing it, Drax!" Quill says as Drax sleeps in the front row. "Remind me why we're doing this again." Rocket asks. "It's a distress signal, Rocket. Someone could be dying." Gamora says. "I get that, but why are we doing it?" He asks again. "Because were heroes?" Peter says. "And maybe whoever it is will give us some cheddar cheese for our efforts." Quill says. "Which isn't the point." Gamora says. "Which isn't the point." Quill says. "I mean, If he doesn't pay up.." he says and Drax finishes. "We'll take his ship." Drax says. "Exactly!" Rocket says. "Ba-ba-ba-bingo!" Quill says. "We are arriving." Mantis says. "Yeah, we're nearing the coordinates." Peter says. "All right, Guardians, don't forget, this might be dangerous. So let's put on our mean faces." Quill says and they see Groot playing Defender. "Groot, put it away, I don't wanna tell you again." Peter tells him. Groot doesn't listen. "Groot." Peter says, firmly. "I am Groot." He says. "Woah!" Rocket says. "Language!" Peter says. "You've got some acorns on you, kid." Quill says. "Ever since you got a little sap, you're a total D-hole." Rocket says. "Keep that up, and I might just smash that thing to pieces." Peter says to him. They leave hyper jump and see bodies of Asgardians everywhere and broken ship pieces. They all look in shock. "What happened?" Mantis asks. "Who could've done this?" Peter asks as he sees the thousands of bodies. "Looks like we're not getting paid." Rocket says as a body hits their ship. "Ew! Wipers, Wipers! Get it off!" Rocket yells. As Peter's senses go off, telling him he's alive. "Wait!" He says as the man on their window opens his one eye and they scream.
Later, Peter goes out to retrieve him and bring him back inside. They place him on the center table. "How is this dude still alive?" Quill asks. "He's not a dude. You're a dude." Drax says to him. "This...this is a man. A handsome, muscular man." He says. "I'm muscular." Quill says. "Oh, who are you kidding, Quill, you're a sandwich away from fat." Peter says. "Yeah, right." Quill says. "It's true. You have put on weight." Drax says. "What? Gamora, do you think I'm...?" He ssks But stops as he realizes the truth. Mantis puts her hand on the man's head. "He is anxious, angry. He feels tremendous loss and guilt." Mantis tells them. "Sounds like he's been to Las Vegas." Peter says. "It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel." Drax says, regarding the man's looks. "Wow. This is a real wake up call for me. Okay. I'm gonna get a Bowflex. I'm gonna commit. I'm gonna get some dumbbells." Quill says. "You know you can't eat dumbbells, right?" Rocket asks. Gamora grabs his hand. "It's like his muscles are made out of Cotati metal fibers." Gamora says. "Stop massaging his muscles." Quill says as she drops his hand. "Mantis, wake him up." Peter says. Mantis puts her hand to his head again. "Wake." She says and the man leaps up and gasps and turns to see them all have their weapons ready as Groot continues to play Defender. "Who the hell are you guys?" He asks them.
Later, he explains that he is Thor, the god of thunder, and that Thanos came to his ship and killed half of everyone to get the tesseract/space stone. And as of this moment, Thanos has 2 of the 6 Infinity Stones. "In the entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal. To bring balance to the universe by wiping out half of it." Gamora says as Thor has a blanket around him and eating soup Peter brought him. "He used to go planet by planet, massacre by massacre." She continues. "Including my own." Drax says and Peter remembers how badly Drax wants to fight Thanos and kill him. "If Thanos gets all of the 6 Infinity Stones, he can do it like this." She says snapping her fingers. "He should find a better hobby." Peter says. "You seem to know a great deal about Thanos." Thor says. "Well...she's the daughter of Thanos." Peter says, slowly not knowing how he'll react. "Your father killed my brother." Thor says, getting up. "Adopted father." Quill interjects, protecting her. "Technically. She hates him as much as you do." Quill says. Thor puts his hand on her shoulder. "Families can be tough. Before my father died, he told me I had a half sister who he improsined in hell. So she returned home and stabbed me in the eye, and so I had to kill her." He says and Quill doesn't like how he's touching her shoulder. "That's life though, isn't it? I feel your pain." Thor says as Quill comes in between them. "Yeah, I feel your pain, too." Quill says. "I mean, it's not a competition or anything, but I've been through a lot. My father killed my mother." Quill says and Thor starts slurping to drown him out. "And then I had to kill my father. That was hard." He says and Peter and Rocket roll their eyes on how it became a Who has a worse backstory contest between the two. As he keeps going on, Thor looks at his spoon. "I don't need a spoon, I need a hammer." He says and only Peter could hear him clearly. He walks over to their jumpship. "Uh, how do I open this?" He asks and starts messing with the access code. "Is it, Uh, maybe a birthday." He says. "What are you trying to do, if you don't mind me asking." Peter asks. "I'm taking your pod." Thor says as Quill clears his throat and starts doing an impression of his accent. "No you're not." He says. "You will not be taking our pod today, sir." Quill says. "Uh...Quill, are you making your voice deeper?" Rocket asks. "No." Quill says. "Yeah you are." Peter says. "You are. You're imitating the god man. It's weird." Drax says. "No, I'm not." Quill says and Mantis gasps. "He just did it again." She says. "This is my voice." Quill says as Thor walks up to his face. "You mocking me?" He asks Quill. "You mocking me?" Quill asks. "Stop it, you're doing it again." Thor says. "He's trying to copy me." Quill says. "Stop it, you're doing it again." Thor says. "Enough!" Gamora says. "We need to stop Thanos, and to do that we need to know where he's going." She says. "Knowhere." Thor says as he walks across the room to the kitchen area. "He must be going somewhere." Mantis says. "No, Knowhere is a place, Mantis. It's terrible." Peter says to her. "Excuse me, That's our food." Quill says as Thor ransacks the fridge. "Not anymore." Thor says. "Thor...why would he be heading there?" Gamora asks. "Because for years, the reality stone has been there being protected by a man named the Collector." Thor says. "If it's with the Collector, it's not safe." Peter says. "Yeah, only an idiot would give him a stone." Quill says. "Or a genius." Thor says. "How do you know he's not going for the other stones?" Gamora asks. "There's 6 Infinity Stones out there. Thanks already has the power stone he stole when he decimated Xandar, last week. He has the space stone he got from me when he slaughtered half of my people. The time and mind stones are safe, they're with the Avengers." Thor explains. "The Avengers?" Peter asks, never hearing about them. "Yeah, Earths Mightiest Heroes." Thor says. "Like Kevin Bacon?" Mantis asks. "He May be on the team, I haven't been there in a while." Thor says. "As for the soul stone, we'll no one's ever seen it, nobody even knows where it is. Therefore he's gonna to Knowhere, hence he's getting the reality stone. You're welcome." Thor says. "Then we hate to get to Knowhere and stop him." Gamora says. "Wrong. Where we need to go is Nidavellir." Thor says. "That's a made up word." Drax says. "All words are made up." Thor says and even Peter can't argue with that and he realizes what he just said. "Wait, Nidavellir is real?" Peter asks. Rocket jumps up on the table. "Seriously?" He asks. "That place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the universe. I would very much like to go there." Rocket says. "The rabbit correct and clearly the smartest amung you." Thor says. "Rabbit?" Rocket asks and starts feeling his face. "Only Eitrie the Dwarf can make me the weapon I need." Thor says and looks to Rocket. "I assume your the captain, sir." He says. "You're very perceptive." Rocket says. "You seem like a noble leader. Would you join me on my quest to Nidavellir?" He asks. "Well, let me ask the captain. Oh, wait it's me." Rocket says. "Wonderful." Thor says and they walk towards the pod. "Except, I'm the captain." Quill says. "Quiet." Thor says. "And that's my backpack." He says. "Go sit down." Rocket says. "Look, this is my ship and I'm not going to...wait, what kind of weapon are we talking about here?" He asks Thor. "The Thanos killing kind." He answers. "Don't you think we should all have a weapon like that?" Quill asks. "No, your bodies lack the strength to wield them. Your bodies would crumble as your minds drift into madness." Thor explains as Rocket opens the pod. "Is it weird I wanna do it even more now?" He asks them. "A little bit, Yeah." Thor says. "If we don't stop Tanos, he'll be to powerful to stop." Gamora says. "He already is." Thor says. "I've got it figured out." Rocket says. "We've got 2 ships and a large assortment of morons. So me, Pete and Groot will go with the pirate angel here, while the morons go toKnowhere to try to stop Thanos. Cool? Cool." He states. "So cool." Thor says as Peter makes sure his watches work and heads in the pod. "Come on, Groot." Peter tells him still playing the game. "For the record." Quill says looking at Rocket. "I know you're taking them with you, because it's where Thanos isn't." Quill says. "You know, you shouldn't talk that way to your captain, Quill." Rocket says. "Come on, guys. Groot, put that game down. You'll rot your brain." He tells Groot as they step into the pod. "I bid you farewell and good luck, morons." Thor says as they split off and fly towards Nidavellir.
