Khapter (9) Níu ~ That Time Liv Checked In

~Liv~

"The hell happened to this planet?" Quill asked as we walked around Titan. "It's eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place."

"Yeah, we got one advantage. He's coming to us." Tony said as I wandered over to where Strange was floating mid-air, legs crossed with his arms resting on them, green power from the time stone circling each arm.

"I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm going to join you here for a moment," I mumbled, taking my wings out so I hovered beside the doctor, getting into a similar position.

I closed my eyes for a moment, seeing if my gatekeeper was even awake to answer my call.

Thankfully, he did, and my eyes quickly shot open.

"Liv, you're alright." He sighed, walking up and placing his hands on my shoulders.

"I am. I'm glad to see that you healed nicely. I'm sorry I couldn't do more." I grimaced.

"Nonsense. If it wasn't for you, I would be dead."

"Well, I couldn't have that. I just got you back."

"And I, you. I would hate the next time we see each other be in Valhalla." He smirked, pulling me into a hug. "Now, where are we, exactly?"

"This," I pulled away, keeping my hands in his as I looked around the forest area, small creatures flying above or running threw the brush. "Is the new Asgard. I rather you see it than where I actually am."

"And where would that be?"

"Titan. I'm with my nephew, Anthony, and my college Doctor Stephen Strange, along with some other allies. We're going to try and defeat Thanos. Or at least get his gauntlet."

"Liv, that's a death sentence for all of you. You have to-"

"I know what I have to do. I have to protect my people. Of Asgard, and of Midgard. I can't do that when this maniac is on the loose with the very weapon that could destroy the universe with a simple snap of his fingers."

Heimdall sighed as he stared at me, a sad look on his face.

"You'll be careful?"

"I am the Goddess of Life!" I laughed. "When am I ever not careful?"

"Liv, Strange, we alright, guys?" Anthony's voice broke through, making me sigh.

"I suppose that's my queue to get back."

"Don't worry. We shall see each other again."

"I know." I nodded. "I'm just not sure when that will be."

"Liv!" Anthony shouted again, and I felt myself be forcibly brought back to my body, making me gasp. "Your back, you're alright."

"What, Anthony?" I breathed heavily, looking around at everyone's eyes on me, including the other now-present doctor.

"Hey, what was that? Both of you." Peter asked from behind my nephew.

"I was checking in with a friend. Seeing how my people are doing given their stuck floating in space."

"I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict."

"Both equally important." I shrugged.

"How many did you see?" Quill asked.

"14,000,605."

"How many did we win?" Tony then asked.

Strange didn't say anything for a moment, looking between Tony and me.

"One."
