"Oh fuck", Emil swore as flaming meteorites came hurtling towards them. He didn't know where to go. There was no where to go. He was panicking. He could feel his breath speeding up as he watched the meteors explode around him.

Just as one was going to hit him, something hit his back and he was pulled sharply into the air. "Oh Peter!" Emil gasped as his boyfriend swung through the wreckage of the ships. He had Emil by a web and was tugging him along like a kite as he spun and flipped around the meteors. "I fucking love you", Emil sighed in relief as Peter hoisted him up and grabbed him around the waist. He pulled him up into a shielded crevice in one of the wrecks. Around them, Emil could see the limp webbed up figures of the guardians along with the blue girl, hanging protected on various metal platforms.

"Are you okay?" Peter asked breathlessly. Emil wrapped his arms around his neck in a tight hug as their breathing calmed down. They were both sweaty and covered in dust. Emil could see where Peter's new armour had been scraped, the colour scratched in places to show the metal.

"Yeah. Are you okay?"

"Bruised", Peter replied with a groan. Emil chuckled lightly. They were bruised, grimy and glad to be alive.

There was another explosion from below, a distant yell. Emil glanced down then back up to Peter's face, laughter fading. "Stark and Strange are still fighting. I'm going to go and help. You stay here and protect the others". Peter looked like he might protest but Emil placed a gentle finger to the mask over his lips. "You're stronger than me. I wouldn't be able to carry them all even with the weird gravity".

Peter nodded. "Just be safe okay". He pulled up the bottom of his mask and pressed a kiss to Emil's forehead. Emil closed his eyes to savour the light warmth for second before Peter pulled away.

"I'll try", Emil's eye crinkled in a reassuring smile over the top of his mask,  before he disappeared in a blue flash.

Emil landed on the battlefield just in time to watch Thanos throw Strange, the landing knocking him out. Darting forwards, Emil landed a kick on his jaw before back flipping backwards and out of arms reach.

"Well well well", Thanos chuckled, one hand rubbing the place Emil kicked. "If it isn't the little boy who shot me. Quite commendable I must say. No ones managed to hurt me like that in years". He gestured to the charred hole in his breastplate over his collar bone where dark blood was dripping. Apart from the blood, the hole barely seemed to affect the Titan. Emil knew that the shot wasn't very deep, but he had hoped that it would limit the other more.

"I'll take it as a compliment", Emil returned with a scowl. He dropped into a crouch, ready to move at a moments notice.

"What is your name?" Thanos asked in curiosity. "May I know the name of the one who injured me?"

"People call me Boo", Emil grunted. He teleported into the air behind Thanos, aiming to kick him around the head. Thanos had been anticipating it. He turned and caught him by the leg in one huge hand. Emil was spun round and hoisted upside down in front of Thanos' face.

"Ah I can feel it now", the purple Titan grinned as he looked Emil up and down. "You're a child of the stones aren't you? A being created through their power. I applaud you Boo", he smiled at the struggling Emil patronisingly. "At another time I would of had use for you and kept you alive. But now, you're nothing more than a small yapping dog. An annoyance".

He threw Emil almost lazily to the side. The force sending him rolling several meters into one of the craters caused by the meteors. The crater was large and Emil fell down it, landing at the bottom with a thud. He'd hit his head at some point and he could feel blood dripping down his face. As he tried to summon the strength to move, the world swayed dizzily around him. Slumping back, he lost consciousness.

When Emil awoke, it was to pain. His whole body ached and throbbed like one massive wound. He was pretty sure he cracked something, maybe his head? Blood was still pouring down his face. With a moan, he pulled himself to his feet, stumbling a few times in the sand before steadying himself and rising. He could feel the energy below his skin, buzzing frantically. He was low. The kinetic energy he had gained by being thrown around like a rag doll left him both feeling both hyper and exhausted. With a sigh, he teleported back to the fight.

When he landed it was to a destroying scene. Thanos had Stark on his knees. Most of his armour had been ripped away, exposing parts of his face and chest. There was a metal spear impaled under his ribs, from which blood spurted. Strange was lying on a pile of rubble a few feet away. His lip was split and he had a cut on his forehead. Thanos stood above them, gauntlets raised.

"Spare his life and I'll give you the stone", Strange was saying. Emil gasped at the words.

"No tricks", Thanos growled, gauntlet still aimed at Stark.

Strange raised a hand and made a symbol in the air. A green stone appeared over his palm, hovering and twisting. With a sigh, Strange opened his hand and the stone floated through the air to Thanos. Emil watched was the Titan grabbed it and placed it in the empty socket on his thumb. As it connected, the huge body shuddered at the influx of power. Thanos raised his arms and smiled cruelly down at them.

"Ah finally", he laughed. Behind him a blue swirling portal formed. It was a circle of electrical storm and Thanos turned towards it, stepping through. The portal closed up behind him and he was gone.
