The Infinity Saga

Chapter 10: Time for Family

--Avengers Headquarters--

"What the hell is that?" Quill said, looking up the sky.

There was what seemed to be an explosion in the sky. But it was not near Earth, it was farther into space.

"Should we check on it?" Gamora asked.

"We will, once Rocket finishes with those bombs."

"I'm almost done. Just give me a few more minutes." Rocket said, putting some gas into the bomb.

"Do you think it will explode once it hits a surface?" Bruce asked, as he and Tony stood there watching.

"And done, it will explode upon impact. Watch this." Rocket said, throwing the bomb out the broken window.

Soon, gas appeared from the window while Bruce stood in amazement.

"You could've thrown it somewhere else." Tony said.

"That will do. What were you calling me for, Quill?"

"You see that?" Quill asked, pointing at the explosion in space.

"Yeah, what's so interesting?"

"C'mon, Rocket, there's an explosion in space."

"We have to check it out." Gamora said.

"Fine, get your gear ready. We're going in a few hours."

"We have to wait for Steve's plan first." Tony said.

"Steve again, and again, is he your baby sitter?"

"No, but he is a leader."

Soon, a taxi arrived outside the headquarters and a boy walked up the stairs.

"Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark." Peter said repeatedly.

"Why'd you go here, kid?" Tony asked.

"I saw this big space ship, and there were aliens there, and there were heroes fighting, it was crazy."

"Who were the heroes?"

"I saw the Avengers there, but there was these other heroes."

"Was it those guys, the Defenders?"

"I think so."

"Hey, Tony, we got fifteen bombs here. Want to bring them all?" Bruce asked.

"Sure, we need all the firepower we can get. Now, we just have to think of a plan to get to space."

"Milano is damage; those Skrulls shot it while were fighting." Rocket said.

"I think some of the bullets you shot hit the Milano." Quill said, looking at Rocket.

"I was having the time of my life."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Oh, I'm not Quill, it was the happiest time of my life. Right, Groot?"
