"What the hell happened to this planet? It's 8 degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place." Quill studied, holding out a device in this hand.

They were outside the ship; in a place called Titan now. It used to be the home of Thanos- before it was destroyed.

"Yeah, we got one advantage." Tony started. Nikki zoned out and went to walk towards Peter, who was staring at Mantis while she was jumping. She smirked at Peter. "You look like you want to have fun and join Mantis, but you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of dad because 'you're an avenger now', correct?"

Peter gulped and tore away his eyes from Mantis. "Correct,"

"We'll use it," Tony suddenly said and faced the kids. "Alright, I have a plan." he rubbed his hands together.

"It's pretty simple." he started. "We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. We definitely don't want to dance with this guy, we just want the gauntlet."

"Yup. It's pretty simple," Nikki but in, soon furrowing her eyes together. "Too simple actually. It won't work dad." she deadpanned, making her father sigh and rub his temple.

A sound of someone yawning broke the silence. Tony snapped his head towards the sound and looked at Drax in disbelief. "Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I'm breaking it down? Did you hear what I said?" he bombarded Drax with questions, making him look at Mantis with a look no-one can read.

"I stopped listening after you said that we need a plan." he said softly.

"Your now my favourite person, Drax. Bye Peetie." Nikki spoke up and gave Drax thumbs up.

Tony then looked at his daughter, again, with disbelief. "Okay, Mr. Clean's on his own page." he faced Quill, who in return, gave Tony a shrug.

"See, not winging it isn't really what they do." Quill spoke out.

"What exactly is it that they do?" Peter acquired, now next to Tony.

"Kick names, take ass."

Nikki, Peter, and Tony had a surprised look plastered on their faces. Due to being in a deep state of shock, they stayed silent for a couple of seconds.

Tony sighed. "Alright, just get over here, please?"

"Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?" Tony asked, facing Quill. Quill smirked at Tony. "Star -Lord is fine."

"We've gotta coalesce. Because if all we come at him with this plucky attitude..." Tony trailed off, only to be stopped by Quill.

"Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means."

"All right, we're optimistic, yes. I like your plan, except it sucks. So let me do the plan, and that way, it might be really good." Quill stated. Nikki stared at the grown men arguing infront of her.

"Even though I don't like this guy, I got to say, it is true." she but in.

"Tell him about the dance-off to save the Universe." Drax told Quill, whose face instantly fell into an embarassed look.

"A dance off?"

"It's not a.. It's not a...." Quill struggled to lie.

"Like in Footloose? The movie?" Nikki asked Quill. His embarassed look dropped and was replaced by a curious one. "Yes! Like footloose! Is it still the greatest movie in history?"

"It never was." Peter pointed out.

"Don't encourage this, allright? We're getting no help with Flash Gordon." Tony took Peter and dragged him away.

"Flash Gordon? By the way, that's a compliment."

Quill started getting closer to Tony. "Don't forget. I'm half-human. So that's 50% of me that's stupid," he placed a hand on Tony's chest. "And that's 100% you."

"Your math is blowing my mind." the sarcastic voice of the young girl spoke.

"Excuse me? Does your friend often do that?" Mantis, who was the only one paying attention to Strange, asked. He was moving so fast that he looked like a glitch from a game.

Tony walked towards the wizard and took him by his shoulders. "Strange!" he exclaimed. Strange gasped out loud and fell on the floor, making everyone genually worried about him.

"Your back. Your alright." Tony tried to calm him down.

"What was that?"

"I went forward in time, to view alternate futures... To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict." he stated, still shaky of what just happened.

"How many did you see?" Nikki asked, now going beside Tony to face Strange.

"14,000,605."

"How many did we win?" Peter asked from behind. Strange closed his eyes and let out a small, shaky breath.

"One."
