It wasn't Coulson. Black mist floated near them, which used to have Coulson's voice, but now was quiet. Each person took ready, but not before Quill shot his gun into the mist, in which it became something unholy.

Snake-like eyes, A body like a dragon, but everywhere was as black as the night, except for blood-red teeth and spikes. No one needed to be told. They ran.

A wave of black washed over Katriana, and she was pulled into some else's memory, not hers.

"Stay strong Peter." A young Peter Quill sat at the edge of his mother's deathbed, before she laid back, closing her eyes. The small Quill ran away, not before a UFO took him away.

"I put the brain tumor in Meredith's head. Pity really." And now the memories were at another foreign place.

"YOU WHAT?" 

Another memory, this time more recent.

"Peter," Gamora begged, Thanos, holding her. Quill blasted, but all that came out was bubbles.

The scene changed to the one where he condemned them all. 

"ASSHOLE. TELL ME WHERE SHE IS." 

Some unintelligible words, then they were knocked out of Peter Quill's mind.

"I'm sorry Quill," Kat replies, not knowing what to say.

"It's fine. Those, things. They-" Quill start.

"They bring out your worst memories, for others to view," Wanda replies.

"How did they track us?" Fury questions.

"Don't know." Wanda shook her head.

"Then we better move. I don't think anyone wants their memories shown to the public." Maria says, and they all muttered assent, before walking away.

"So what if the creatures catch us again?" Peter questions.

"Then we'll grit our teeth and do it." Bucky replies.

"Oh yeah, let's just hope that nothing bad happens to us while we are in someone's memories," Sam adds.

The team laughed quietly, before walking forward. Slowly, more buildings came into their presence.

"New Mexico?" Fury questions.

"Be glad we have something," Kat replies, lifting the stone in the doorway. They walked in, looking around the destroyed house. It was all broken in, and the roof was at a tilt. Rubble littered the ground, but there were some things that worked, like the shower, and tap. There were mattresses and bedposts, and blankets. 

They slowly cleared out everything, making a camp there, as Fury made a fire in the fireplace. 

The flames crackled to life, but then it hit them. What were they to eat?

"Can we eat?" Gamora asks.

"Yes, and no." Strange answers. "We can survive another week without food and water, but if we die of starvation, I'm not sure." 

"There's a ruined city up there, maybe there's something there." Drax answers.

"Ooh, yes." Mantis bobbed her head excitedly.

The 3 Maximoffs looked out and stopped.

"Sokovia?" Pietro questions.

"Can we?" Bucky questions.

"We'll go." The Maximoffs immediately said.

"We don't have money," Maria says.

"Then you steal. You guys do not know Sokovia like we do, we know where the most food is." Wanda answers.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Hank answers.

"Unlike almost everyone here, we don't have everything handed to us on a silver platter," Pietro replies. Wanda hopped into Pietro's arms, bridal style, while Kat hopped on his back, and they sped off. 

"They have a valid point." Vision replies.

"Oh shut up." Loki answers.

The 3 Maximoffs arrived in their ruined city and began scrounging for food. In the broken food stands. Butcher shops. Candy stores. It was really a free for all, as it was almost completely empty. They looked in houses but left behind a good amount for other people. 

Then they arrived at the ruins of their apartment. They set the food down, staring at the remnants of want was once home.

"Come on, let's go. No doubt they'll have torn each other to pieces by now." Kat answers, picking up the food, and walking away. The eldest Maximoffs shared a look, before leaving. 

"We've missed you Kitty-Ana." Pietro starts, using her nickname.

"I did too." Kat answers. 

Black mist slithered by them.
