Assemble Part Two

Planet Titan
Deep Space

"Whoa! Mr. Stark! Look over there!" Peter shouts in amazement as he gestures wildly at the giant beam of colorful light slamming down onto the surface of the planet. It's almost blinding to look at and he's never seen anything like it before.

"He's here then." Quill asked, standing and shielding his eyes as he looked off into the distance. "We're not even in position yet and our plans not exactly fool proof so..." Tony's eyes go wide and he motions for Quill to shut up.

"No that's.."

"Thor." Dr. Strange finishes for him. The bifrost disappears and the small gathering of Avengers can see three people in the distance. One appears to be hurt, laying on the ground while the other is cradling them gently. The third person, who is standing, is clearly the God of Thunder. "And he's not alone."

"Is that.." Tony murmurs, his mask already coming down over his face before he shoots off into the air toward his friends.

"Hey! Mr. Stark wait up!" Peter shouts, ready to swing into action, though there wasn't much to swing on it this desolate landscape.

"Jesus that's far." Quill complains. "Hey Doc, instead of us all running over there could you.." Quill makes a spinning motion with his hand and Dr. Strange sighs heavily before doing just that and holding his hand out into the distance so another portal can open near the trio.

"Thor, where are we?" Wanda asks with concern and fear. This place, she had never seen anything like it. So many destroyed buildings and the red, barren landscape did nothing to calm her frazzled nerves. "Is this a different planet?" It had to be. She'd never seen anything like this on earth.

"Yes though I don't know why we're here." Thor said, flipping his axe in his hand as he surveyed the land. He could hear a noise though, it sounded like rocket boosters and Thor turned toward the sound. Something was flying up towards them. Wanda breathed in deeply and then cried out in alarm as a glowing portal suddenly appeared near her. She tried to scramble away, Vision still clutched tightly in her arms. He groaned a little and she stopped.

"Hey! Hey, it's alright." Quill said, stepping through first. "Where have you been God of Losers?" Thor frowned, recognizing the Guardians as well as Dr. Strange but not the young boy who stepped through with them. Maybe he was also a Guardian that Thor hadn't met.

"Magician man. You know these Guardians too?"

"Hardly." Dr. Strange said with a roll of his eyes. Thor looked back to the sky and recognized Tony's suit. He smiled broadly. It had been a really long time since he had seen him.

"Tony! Man of Iron, it's good to see you." Thor exclaimed as Tony finally landed and walked towards the God of Thunder.

"Next time, just tell me you're going to open a magic hole so I don't waste my energy, thanks." Dr. Strange would havee flipped Tony off but it was a childish gesture. "What are you doing here big man? Here to help us fight Thanos?" He glanced towards Vision and Wanda. Vision seemed to be... Hurt. Tony never thought an android could look hurt. "You okay Vis? Wanda, it's been a while." Wanda would've spit out a sarcastic remark but she was too concentrated on Vision.

"Still alive."

"Barely. You need to help fix him Tony." Wanda said adamantly.

"What's wrong? I thought that stone sort of made him immortal." Tony said, tapping the middle of his own forehead.

"It doesn't. Thanos' goons have been trying to remove it." Thor said with a bit of contempt.

"Thanos? Was he on earth?" Dr. Strange asks.
