[Cut to Ebony Maw interrogating Doctor Strange. Strange is  floating horizontally, face down, and is surrounded by dozens of glassy  needles, each about two feet long]

Ebony Maw: In all the time I've served Thanos, I've never  failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on Titan with the Time  Stone still attached to your vaguely irritating person, there would  be...judgement. [the needles start to contact Strange's face, causing an obviously painful whitish subcutaneous glow at each touch] Give me... the stone.

[Cut to Iron Man who is watching, hidden, from above. The  Cloak of Levitation taps Stark on the arm. He raises his hand to it,  ready to shoot, but he sees what it is and stands down.]

Tony Stark: Wow you're a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren't you?

Peter Parker: Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty...

[Iron Man and the Cloak turn to face Spider-Man, dropping down from above]

Tony Stark: What the-

Peter Parker: I know what you're gonna say.

Tony Stark: You should not be here.

[The Cloak moves to "stand" at Iron Man's side]

Peter Parker: I was gonna go home -

Tony Stark: I don't wanna hear it.

Peter Parker: But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way -

Tony Stark: And now I gotta hear it.

[The Cloak shakes its collar in sympathy and shrugs]

Peter Parker: ...And I kinda stuck to the side of the  ship. And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So if  anything, it's kinda your fault that I'm here.

[The Cloak looks shocked]

Tony Stark: (seriously) What did you just say?

Peter Parker: I take that back. And now I'm here in space.

Tony Stark: Yeah. [Iron Man crosses to stand right in front of Spidey]  Right where I don't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island. This isn't  a field trip. It's one-way ticket. You hear me? Don't pretend like you  thought this through. You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker: No. I did think this through.

Tony Stark: You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker: It's just- You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man when there's no neighborhood. [he waits for Iron Man's reaction] Okay. That didn't really make any sense, but you know what I'm trying to say.

Tony Stark: [breaths shakily] Come on. We got a situation. [he  leads Spider-Man over to a viewpoint on the torture below. Spidey  crouches to study the situation, the Cloak leaning over his shoulder.] See him down there? He's in trouble. What's your plan? Go.

Peter Parker: Um. Okay, okay...uh.... [Spidey and the Cloak pop back upright] Okay. Did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?

[The Cloak lifts its collar in surprise]

[Cut back to Ebony Maw interrogating Strange, who groans loudly.]

Ebony Maw: Painful aren't they? They were originally designed for microsurgery. And any one of them...

[at the "thump" behind him, Maw turns to see Iron Man standing there, hand repulsors ready to fire.]
