For the first time since I got to this place I had a good sleep. I think it was because I could feel MJ's presence, it was comforting. I opened my eyes to see that MJ had crept a little closer. I didn't want to disturb her so I moved as slowly as I could. I stood up to notice that most of the heroes where awake, all except Sam and t'challa; I walked over to them.

"Who's the girl?" Asked Bucky
"A friend" I responded "should I wake her up?"
"No let her rest" Wanda said
"What are we going to do today?" I questioned
"Steven suggested we try splitting up into two groups and search around" peter answered
"I don't see the point of searching we haven't found anything ,during the three days we've been here, but flat orange plains" Bucky countered
"I don't want to be the bear of bad news but bucky's got a point" Sam said as he got up
We must of woken him.
" then what are we supposed to do?" Mantis asked in an innocent tone
"Wait for cap or tony to figure a way to get us out of here" Sam responded
"But what if they don't know that where here" I said, everyone stared at me "well we all just disappeared they don't know that we're...Here" I gestured to our soundings "let alone alive"
"Then what do we do in the mean time?" Drax commented
"Explore" strange answered
"Fine we'll explore. Magic man can contact us every night and if we find something he can teleport us" Sam agreed with a hint of sarcasm
"Sounds like a plan" I said "who's going with who? "
"How about us" peter said gesturing to the remaining guardians "Peter and his friend. Then the rest of you go in a group"
"That good with you peter?" Doctor strange said to me
"Yeah" I nodded "I'll just go wake up MJ" I said pointing behind me
"MJ? What kind of name is that?" I herd drax say as I was walking back to Michelle

I sat down next to her. She looked peaceful, I didn't want to wake her but I had to.
"MJ" I shook her shoulder ever so slightly
"Mmmm" she mumbled "what"
"We need to go"
"Where"
"Look around"
She opened her eyes and looked at me, I smiled
"Come on" I stood up and put out a hand to help her up
She took it and I pulled her to her feet
"We've been paired with the guardians"
"Who?"
"I'll introduce"

We walked back over and I introduced her to everyone, t'challa was up now, then we split off into our groups
We went one way and the others went the opposite.

It had been a while since we split and it was silent
Michelle walked next to me and the guardians walked in front of us
"So how long have you two known each other?" Star-lord broke the silence
"Ever since high school started" MJ spoke up "how long have all of you known each other?" She gestured to the guardians
"I think 6 or 7 years now" peter said not looking back
MJ looked at me and smiled
"New suit Parker" she said
"Yeah Mr.Stark gave it to me when I first got on the ship" I said smiling
She bumped my arm with her shoulder somehow a few weeks ago I had gotten taller then her, she wasn't to happy about it. Michelle and I where talking about what happened during the battle with thanos when we realised the Guardians stopped walking. We stopped too once we noticed what they where gaping at
"I am groot" groot said in awe
"Mountains!" I said, happy that we found something other then flat land
"They are not mountains, they are hills. Orange hills" drax corrected me
"Who cares what they are let's go check them out" MJ said starting to walk. I followed her and the guardians tailed

"I don't like this" Mantis said once we came closer
"I don't either" I admitted
"I can feel something" Mantis replied while the ends of her antenna glowed. Her big black eyes opened, then she spoke in an Erie voice "something is here"
Just then the hills moved
"Woah what the-" peter exclaimed
They started to get smaller.Then they just disappeared.
"This place is just getting weirder and weirder by the minute" MJ commented
There was quietness as we all stared off into the place where the hills had been. I felt my spider senses tingle
"It's not over" I said
"What do yo-" MJ was cut of when the hills started to rise underneath us and we all stumbled
The hills kept rising and we all fell except groot who had implanted his feet to the ground
MJ fell across me. Then the hills stopped growing. We weren't a long way from the ground flat land but we weren't close either.
"Sorry" MJ apologised as she got up
"All good" I hoisted my self onto my feet
"Ok so that was really weird" peter said
"Hills are not supposed to move" drax added
"I am groot" he agreed
"we should get off the hill before something else happens" Mantis suggested
"Good thinking" I responded

Once we got to the bottom of the moving hill we started to keep moving but not to far. We thought it would be good to show Mr.Strange and see what he thought. It was almost night anyway. Once night did come we sat down and waited for strange to contact us.
golden sparks appeared forming a circle next to drax

Steven's head popped into view
"Did you find anything?" He asked straight away
"We found hills that move" drax replied "just over there"
Strange's head and shoulders  came through the circle, he looked towards the hills
"Well that's something other than plains at least" he said
"Did you find anything?" MJ wondered aloud
"Actually, yes" he responded
"What did you find?" I asked
"A stone arch in the middle of no where" he paused
"Anything else?" Quill asked
"Yeah. A green skinned women"
