"Some time ago this was how I left Earth." Astra commented, she, Groot, Rocket and the god of thunder all in the Bifrost. "Now I'm going right back with it."

"Earth may not be the same." Thor warned her.

"Where's the fun in consistency?" She smirked. "We're approaching the solar system, I have one more stop to make."

"Oh! Are you doing the thing?" Rocket wondered enthusiastically.

"I'm doing the thing." She confirmed.

"Astra, you can't survive in space." Thor told her.

"I can withstand it just like you, Thor." She told him. "Being a cosmicite includes being able to breathe in space. Thought you would know that."

"Well, you're beings are full of surprises." He responded plainly.

Astra continued to look though what she could see. "Meet you down." She said quickly and dove through the Bifrost and into an asteroid field.

Meanwhile, on Earth, the Avengers and Wakandans struggled against the Outriders. The disgusting creature would claw and bite, trying to fulfill their purpose to Thanos. Fortunately, Thor had arrived just on time, the Bifrost landed in the middle of the battle and Thor's new axe cut through the creatures that slowed on top of his friends.

The warriors looked at the new guests as the Bifrost disappeared, revealing Thor with Rocket jumping of his shoulder and Groot. The trip stood there observing the land and prepared to fight. "What was that 'thing' Astra is doing?" Thor whispered to the raccoon.

"Oh, that? You'll see." Rocket smirked.

As if, right on cue, dozens of asteroids entered the field. The outriders screeched in a threatened way and the Avengers all looked at it all with relief. Now, the cosmicite herself jumped off the asteroid she was riding, landing beside the trio in a squat. She created a sword in her right armored hand and stared straight at her 'siblings.'

Natasha couldn't hide the smile when seeing her best friend, and Steve couldn't hide his own grin either when he stood up. Bruce had the helmet from the Hulkbuster slide off as he laughed. "You guys are so screwed now!"

Prixima Midnight and Black Dwarf growled to hide their fear. They couldn't even kill Astra 3 years ago, and now she wasn't alone and more powerful.

The girl spun he sword to get a good feel while she walked beside Thor. "Bring me Thonos!" He yelled and the 4 ran into battle. When close enough, Astra jumped high into the air, and sticking her sword into ground when she came down, a gust of air sliced like a knife through the Outriders that surrounded her.

The right continued. Neither side giving up. Rocket shouted at the Outriders while shooting them up, then having lots of fun when Bucky picked him spun him as they both shot the space dogs up.

"How much for the gun?" Rocket asked him.

"Not for sale." Bucky answered him, taking some more precise shots.
