On planet Morag in the year 2014, 2014 Peter Quill was listening to his Walkman and dancing as he listens to the hit 1974 song 'Come and Get Your Love' by Redbone.

Hey (hey) What's the matter with your mind and all your sighing?

And-a ooh-ohh

Peter kicks a group of Orloni creatures.

Hey (hey) Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it

Come on and find it

Peter grabs a Orloni creature and pretends it to be a microphone.

Hell, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine

And you look so divine

"Come and get your love. Come and get your love." 2014 Peter sang.

Meanwhile, unknown to 2014 Peter, Rhodey, Valerie and Nebula were hiding behind a large boulder and observing him dancing, which didn't impress Valerie and Rhodey.

"This is the guy?" Valerie asked.

"So, he's an idiot?" Rhodey asked.

"Yeah." Nebula replied.

Rhodey then proceed to punch 2014 Peter in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"That was harsh but okay." Valerie said.

Nebula then check 2014 Peter's knapsack to loot some of the tools he had.

"What's that?" Rhodey asked.

"The tool of a thief." Nebula replied.

Nebula then proceed to open the doors to the tomb while Rhodey holds 2014 Peter's plasma sphere and Valerie stands by. The three then saw the Orb in the forcefield. Nebula was about to go in, but Rhodey stop her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the part where spikes come out with skeletons on the end of them and everything." Rhodey said.

"What are you talking about?" Nebula asked.

"When you break into a place called 'The Temple of the Power Stone', there's gonna be a bunch of booby traps." Rhodey said.

"Dude, you watch way too many movies, unless of course you're in the Ghost Zone." Valerie said.

"Oh, my God." Nebula said in annoyance as she enters the tomb.

"Okay. All right. Go ahead." Rhodey said.

The three then walked to where the Orb is.

"So, how are we suppose to get it?" Valerie asked.

Nebula reached in the pedestal, bypassing the incineration field and retrieving the Orb and hand it to Rhodey as she blows her cyborg hand. Rhodey and Valerie witnesses her cyborg hand at its base mechanics.

"If you don't mind me asking. Were you always like that?" Valerie asked.

"I wasn't always like this." Nebula replied.

"Me either." Rhodey said.

"I wasn't how I am today either." Valerie said.

"But we work with what we got, right?" Rhodey asked.

"Hmm." Nebula hummed.

"Let's sync up." Rhodey said.

Rhodey, Valerie and Nebula activate their Advance Tech Suits, preparing to return to the present.

"Three, two, one." Rhodey said.

At that moment, Rhodey and Valerie starts to return to the present. However, Nebula gets a glitch and her Synaptic Drive overloads. She collapse to the ground as she sees 2014 Ebony Maw examining 2014 Nebula's memory network.

...

Back on the Sanctuary II, 2014 Thanos continue to see Nebula's memories through a hologram on 2014 Nebula's drive.

"You murdered trillions!" the projection of Bruce said.

"You should be grateful." the projection of 2014 Thanos' future self said.

"Grateful?! You killed my family! My friends! My girlfriend!" the projection of Danny said.

"Danny, stop!" the projection of Salzer said.

"Don't, stick to the plan, Dani." the projection of Valerie said.

"Fine, but he's lucky he's not receiving the end of a ecto-fire blast after killing my family, best friends and boyfriend." the projection of Dani said.

"Where are the stones?" the projection of Natasha said.

"Gone. Reduced to atoms." the projection of 2014 Thanos' future self replied.

"You used them two days ago!" the projection of Bruce said.

"I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable." the projection of 2014 Thanos' future self said before the projection pauses.

"What did you do to them?" 2014 Gamroa asked.

"Nothing. Yet. They're not trying to stop something I'm going to do in our time. They're trying to undo something I've already done in theirs." 2014 Thanos said.

"The stones." 2014 Gamora said.

"I found them all. I won. Tipped the cosmic scales to balance." 2014 Thanos said before 2014 Gamora bows down before him.

"This is your future." 2014 Ebony Maw said.

"It's my destiny." 2014 Thanos said as 2014 Ebony Maw resumes playing the projection.

"My father is many things. A liar is not one of them." the projection of Nebula said.

"Ah. Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly." the projection of 2014 Thanos' future self said.

2014 Thanos then witness his future self's beheading by the hands of Thor, shocking 2014 Gamora.

"And that is destiny fulfilled." 2014 Thanos calmly said.

"Sire... your daughter..." 2014 Ebony Maw said as he attempts to strangle 2014 Nebula with his powers.

"No!" 2014 Nebula begged.

"Is a traitor." 2014 Ebony Maw said.

"That's not me. It's not, I could never... I would never betray you. Never. Never." 2014 Nebula begged.

2014 Thanos broke 2014 Nebula free from her restrains on her neck and holds up her chin.

"I know. And you'll have the chance to prove it." 2014 Thanos said.

...

Back at Morag, Nebula awakes from her memory link and becomes horrified.

"No! He knows!" Nebula said in horror.

Nebula then rushes back to the Benatar space pod to warn Clint and Natasha that 2014 Thanos is aware of their plans.

"Barton! Barton, come in. Romanoff! Come in, we have a problem. Come on! Come in, we have a... Thanos knows. Thanos..." Nebula said.

As Nebula tries to warn Clint and Natasha, the Sanctuary II descends on Morag and tracks the space pod. It fires a tractor beam and captures Nebula.
