Thanos hotline

Deus ex machina

TITAN

Tony Stark- Let's go back to the spaceship.

Scott Lang- Hold up.

Antman downsizes to his small form, and perches himself onto Iron Man's shoulder. Iron man and Hulk fly up to Talos' spaceship.

TALOS SPACESHIP

Talos- So all that, for nothing...

Tony Stark and Bruce Banner walk out of their suits.

Tony Stark- I had expected this.

Bruce Banner- What?

Tony Stark- In the alternate future we viewed, we had managed to get the infinity stones, but Thanos' had acquired the infinity droids and used it to destroy us.

Bruce Banner- Correct. But the actual future was opposite, since they were negative infinity stones...

Tony Stark- which meant we would have never got the infinity stones, and Thanos' would never get our droids.

Rocket- Hold up, didn't you say if revive the universe again, Thanos' could just undo it?

Tony Stark- I think Thanos destroyed the stones.

Nebula- Why?

Bruce Banner- This... pompous show of a contest, his iron gauntlet, it may be possible.

Tony Stark- Its a gut feeling.

Rocket- But what if he didn't?

There is a moment of silence in the room.

Tony Stark- We ought to try anyway, for them.

Bruce Banner- Yup, if we never try, we'll never get to know.

Tony Stark- Infinity droids.

From the back of the spaceship, the 6 negative infinity androids activate, and walk to the center of the spaceship.

Tony Stark- It is time.

Scott Lang- Not just time, but space, power, reality, mind...

No one seems to have heard the joke.

Power- The resulting explosion could be large. It is better if we go outside the spaceship.

Talos gives commands to a Skrull pilot to open the airlock. 

The airlock opens, and the robots land smoothly on Titan's dusty surface.

The infinity droids arrange themselves in a circle, and a pulse radiates from their stones.

The explosion creates a mini-crater on Titan, and there's a blinding flash of light.

The droids' circuits have melted and fried, and their entire structure is too damaged. One of the droids barely stands up, and a static can be heard on the spaceship's comms.

Time droid- Structural integrity at 5%, farewell creator.

The time droid collapses as well. Their stones also minimize and disappear, as there's nothing to keep them from going back into the quantum realm.

Tony Stark- Did it work?

Bruce Banner- Look.

Outside the spaceship, Peter Quill (Star-Lord), Spiderman, Mantis, Drax and Dr. Strange emerge on Titan.

Spiderman- Mr. Stark, can we get a lift?!

The entire team on Talos' spaceship erupts into joy. Talos is instructing the pilot to land.

Rocket- Yahooo!

Bruce Banner- We did it.

The spaceship has landed, and the passengers board on to the spaceship.

Peter Parker- Mr. Stark, I feel good.

Tony Stark- Glad you are back kid. Its time you become an Avenger.

Peter Parker- Wow, really!! I mean, that's awesome! Thank you, Mr. Stark, I...

Peter Quill- Who's this guy? (pointing to Talos)

Talos- Captain of this ship.

Peter Quill- Where's my ship?? (looking around) Where's Gamora??

No one answers Quill.

Peter Quill- I need to know, where is she?

Tony Stark- The androids were designed to undo the snap.

Tony Stark- They didn't have the power to do more.

Peter Quill- What? 

Peter Quill- No, this can't be... (Quill is close to a breakdown)

Nebula- Quill.

Quill looks up to Nebula.

Nebula- Thanos still lives.

Rocket- And he doesn't have the stones.

Quill wipes his tears, and his face has a look of determination and resolve.

Quill- I must avenge Gamora.

Drax- And I my family.

Bruce Banner- Hulk wouldn't mind thrashing Thanos a second-time.

Quill- Who's this guy? And who's Hulk?

Tony Stark- Look, Star-lord guy, we'll explain later. You want a spaceship, we'll get you one in Wakanda, on Earth. 

Quill- Earth has spaceships now?

Tony Stark- Its an exclusive thing. But some of us here have had enough of fighting for a lifetime, and would rather go back to their homes and sleep than go on a wild goose-chase after Thanos, who could have teleported absolutely anywhere in this universe.

Quill- Oh yeah, who all over here wants to hunt for Thanos?

The Guardians of the Galaxy and Bruce Banner raise their hands.

Quill- See, we are in the majority. You aren't.

Tony Stark- In any case the Skrulls wouldn't want to get involved into your pointless hunt. Am I right, Talos?

Everyone looks towards Talos, the Skrull's leader.

Talos- Thanos has done a lot of crimes, and he should pay for it...

Talos- But I have my responsibility towards my people. Now that the fallen have revived, we must reunite with the rest back in the Alpha galaxy, to continue our search for a safe haven from the Kree. We don't want anything to do with Thanos.

Quill- How long it will take to drop you losers off?

Talos-Not very long, I assure you.

Quill (sighs)- Ugh, fine.

The spaceship sets course towards Earth.
