Tony'S POV

The team and I were right now on a spaceship. Yeah, a spaceship. 

Why? You may ask. We need to see this guy, 'the collector' as he called himself. We heard he has some things we needed (A/N. I can't think of nothing atm lol) The Guardians asked us if we needed a ride, but I think that all of them are weird, especially that 'starlord' guy. 

So I built a spaceship from scratch, that is how awesome I am. Because, of course, he is in the middle of the goddamn galaxy. So we just hooped on a spaceship, and we are on our way to see him.

I could feel that all of us were on edge. I mean, it is our first time in space, and we have no idea what to expect, how the collector going to be. Is he even a human?

As we finally arrived and entered the collector 'sanctuary'....

This place feels like those rooms where people smoked weed, something I would definitely not be.

Well, I would, but that is not the point. I already hate this place.

We could see that this guy has everything, no joke. I even saw a.. like a duck-guy? I don't know, he could talk.

Pietro and Sam keep saying that the duck-guy thing was like me, they swear that he even talks like me. God, I hate both of them.

The collector guy is weird, he talks, acts, and sounds weird. Great, now I hate this place and its owner. "C'mon, girl scouts. Let's get this over with." I said to the rest of the team, who were close behind. 

This place was full of these weird chambers, they were tiny, like, really, really tiny. The size oft the chambers made them look like if me or even Peter entered one of them, we could only stand up, there was literally no space to sit.

We kept walking and walking to the place where this guy had the thing we needed, I kept seeing these chambers with the most weird shit you could imagine in them.

Then we stumbled upon one chamber, one specific chamber. It had a boy in it. A human boy. A kid. He looked no older than 17, for god's sake!

"Umm, guys?" I think Bruce said. Catching the attention of the ones a little ahead of us and the collector guy.

"Oh! I see you have seen my most recent acquisition. " This is weird "He is quite... delightful." This is even weirder. Why even does he talk like that?

"The fuck you mean delightful!" The boy screamed while he punched the glass. "I'm going to beat the fuck out of you as soon as I get out of this collection box thingy. You son of a bitch" 

So, the kid speaks, and he has quite a personality. I think Steve just had like four heart attacks regarding his language.

I share a look between all of us, none of us know what to do, so I just do what I think is the best option.

"How much?" I say. "Excuse me?" The collector says. "I want to... to buy... the boy." That statement makes me feel a little weird. 

I think that the kid already knows my plan, because he just stares at us with a 'Please hurry up.' look.

After what felt like hours of negotiation, the guy finally 'sold' me the boy. Gezz, this guy is really greedy.

As soon as the collector's minions opened the chamber, the boy literally jumped over the weird guy and started punching him.

The man just laid on the floor, screaming like a baby. We just looked in complete shock. 

Clint and Bucky were the first ones to snap out of it and inmediatly went and pulled the boy away from the collector. Who was still on the floor.. for some reason. 

The kid kept fighting and fighting with Bucky's and Clint's grab, trying to get free so he could go back and beat the crap out of him again.

Finally, the boy calmed down, ande we decided to just speed-walk to the ship before he could launch at the guy again.

We all just sat there in a somewhat uncomfortable silence while Clint started the ship. 

"So... What's your name?" Pietro asked. The kid just looked at him cautiously before answering. "Y/N." 

Wanda now spoke. "And why are you here? I mean, in the middle of the galaxy." She calmly asked, It was clear that she was just trying to make the boy a little more comfortable. But we needed that information anyway. 

"I don't really remember much. I was walking home after school, and I decided to take a shortcut to the forest. It was day, and I didn't see anything weird, so I just walked in there. But then I saw this weird spaceship and this talking tree along with some other weird... individuals."

He is talking about the guardians!

"And I was bored, so I started to think 'Why don't I just enter that super-cool spaceship?' And I did. After a while, they came back and just started flying. It was too late to say something, and my life is pretty boring anyway, so I just stayed hidden. After what felt like 5 minutes, we were in a completely different place. They landed the ship, so I took that opportunity and snuck out. That's when that weird ass guy saw me and just ordered his pink minions to take me. I fought a little, but they just knocked me out. Then I woke up in that cell, and after a while, you guys appeared."

Okay, that was a lot. I looked over at Natasha, and she had that face she makes when she is thinking about something.

"What is your middle name? I mean, your parents must be worried right now." Ohh, of course, he hadn't mentioned his parents, that was a little weird. 

"Oh, no. Don't worry about them. They must be fine." The kid said, it was obvious he didn't want to talk about it, so we just dropped it.

We just keep talking to the boy for the whole ride. He was actually really smart and funny.

When I say smart, I mean the level of smart that he freaked out and started fangirling when he saw Bruce.

I think Peter would like a little help in the lab...
