Character's Converse to Save the Universe

Chappie 3: The Trip

A time skip appears on the screen in white lettering reading 8 years later.

"Okay, so we're getting more recent now. That's good." Bruce observed.

"Has it really been 8 years since we fought him?" Tony looked to Loki.

"Time sure does fly." Steve agreed.

"Damn, feels like just yesterday you threw me head first out of my own tower reindeer games." Tony reminisced. Mostly because falling from insane heights just so happened to be a recurring nightmare for the billionaire.

"Loki." Thor glared at his brother disapprovingly. "Mortals are far more fragile than us. You cannot just throw them like rag dolls they'll shatter like mother's fine chalice's."

"Since when do you have a problem with throwing things or people?" Loki challenged with a glare. His brother hurling his body at the sakaar guards still fresh in his mind. He hated doing get help. Not to mention his mother was definitely still a major sore spot for the god of mischief.

Thor shut his mouth. He couldn't argue about that, plus the loss of his mother still echoed in his heart. He almost regretted mentioning her. He was thankful he hadn't said her name aloud.

"At any rate, I hope there are more time skips than this or we're going to be here a while." Clint sighed.

"You're that eager to be back on that airstrip?" Natasha raised an eyebrow. It was not lost on the spy that things were still tense in the room. Sure they were all speaking with each other, but things were different out there. Right now they were trapped in their own little world. All that would change once they got back.

"No, no, that reminded me of Budapest just a bit too much. It's just...we're watching this kids life, Nat. It feels a little intrusive." Clint replied.

"A little?" Peter muttered still lying down. "Try completely." Had he been shown on screen yet? No. Was he dreading the moment he would be? Absolutely. Why did it have to be him? He was just some nerdy teen from Queens. Everything special about him came from a spider. They were so cool and he just wasn't ...

The same warehouse as earlier is shown. Crates move along a conveyer belt with alien tech resting a top them. The men operating the equipment are wearing masks to protect their faces from dust and other debri as men worked on alien tech. The camera roams around the shop resting on a trio who fires a deadly purple gun at a fridge. The poor item now reduced to nothing but scrap metal. The weapon in question is placed in a crate, drilled shut, and loaded into a white van that speeds out of the warehouse. The screen cuts off to a money counter with 50 dollar bills inside it easily cranks up to 400 dollars when the screen jumps to something flying fast in the sky. It appeared to be a man, but it was too quick to tell. The warehouse ceiling slides open and the workers pause to watch as two crates are dropped to the floor. Not a second later the man swoops down and we get a good look at his suit. It looks absolutely vulturous with wings and claws and a mask with glowing green eyes to conceal the man's identity.

Clarity jumped her eyes widening in fear the vulture's menacing glowing green eyes and metallic claws frightening her. The lights in the room flickering for a moment reacting to her fright. This wasn't a man anymore, this was a monster, a villainous entity that threatened the safety of her home, or rather this ghost of home. She put her head down hugging one of her two cushion's between her chest and knees her forehead resting against the soft padding. It wasn't perfect but it was as close to her favorite stuffed animal as she was going to get right now. She wanted to go home. She wanted to go home so bad that it hurt. Why had she all but begged Peter to let her do this alone? She should have let him come with her. Had she been that desperate to prove to her best friend that she could be a hero like he was? She was so stupid. She hadn't been ready for this. Not by a long shot and yet here she was. In a room with people she both knew and didn't know. It was really just settling in now that they were strangers. She had expected everything would be the same, but clearly that wasn't the case.
