Y/N: So, none of us had a good time.

Gwendolyn: Speak for yourself. I blew up space people.

Everyone was now back at HQ as night approached. Everyone gave their reports, some had better luck than others, as you held Nadia and Viv allowed Felicia to hold her as they were still reeling from their nightmare visions.

Robbie: So the Titan has the Space Stone already. That's troubling.

Danny: We are running out of time.

Riri: at least we know where five Stones are. The Space, Power, Time, Mind, and Reality Stone. That just leaves one.

Sam: The Soul Stone. No one knows where it is.

Tandy: And I highly doubt that the Nova Corps will be willing to give us the Power Stone.

That could be a problem. You can't protect a place that pretty much declared you an enemy. On top of that, you had no idea where to look for the Soul Stone.

Viv: Perhaps, you're squeezing me Felicia, perhaps we can ask the Guardians once they fully recover.

Not long after Gamora told you about Thanos having the Space Stone, she ended up falling back to sleep. Of course Drax had no idea what was even going on.

Kamala: But, what do we do with the others?

Quentin: T-Thanos will b-be looking for t-them.

Riri: Right. Any plans?

Everyone looked at you. You just shrugged. You didn't have all the answers.

Katie: Well, maybe we can separate them. I mean, there's two Stones in New York right now. That's just one attack to take them.

Luna: You mean we should spread them out?

Shang-Chi: That's a good plan. That way, even if Thanos attacks, we would have time to act.

You nodded. It was the best you had right now.

Tyrone: Where will we put them? The Time Stone needs to stay with Strange and the Mind Stone is embedded in Viv.

Doreen: Then we just need to move Viv somewhere safe.

Viv: What?

Molly: It's our best bet. If you're protected, then Thanos can't get the Stone.

Viv: But I, you're still squeezing, I would be out of the fight.

Y/N: And that's just the way it'll need to be.

Quentin: Y-You'll be s-safe.

Eli: But who will be watching the other two Stones if we're taking care of her?

Silence filled the room. Molly raised her hand.

Molly: I may have an idea.

Riri: Go ahead.

Molly: Well, we can call the Knights and have them take Viv to Wakanda. The Avengers can go to Symkaria to watch over the Reality Stone and we can call whoever is left to protect the Time Stone in New York. The rest of us will head to space to get the other two.

Everyone seemed to give it some thought.

Gwen: Who would go to space?

Miles: Right. Who's staying?

Y/N: I will go.

Everyone looked at you.

Y/N: This is my responsibility so I'm going.

Robbie: Well, guess the Strikers are going to space again.

You looked over at him.

Y/N: What?

Doreen: The Strikers were created because we had no one else. You brought us together and dragged us into this world.

Molly: Plus, you're our family. We can't just let you go at this alone.

You looked at Tandy and Tyrone who nodded. Even Felicia agreed.

Y/N: Ok. Then it's settled. The Strikers will go.

Sam: I'm going go. If we're gonna take on the Nova Corps, you'll need me.

Danny: I shall go as well. Space is Thanos' turf. If you are attacked, you'll need the help.

Riri: So it's settled. Well call up the Knights and tell them about this plan and contact anyone else for New York.

You just sighed as you looked at Nadia.

Y/N: Can you go with Viv? I'd feel better if I knew someone was with her.

Nadia: Of course. Should we leave Elise with your dad.

Y/N: It would be best.

She nodded as you looked at the table. Looks like you had a plan set. All you needed go do now was to wait for the Guardians to recover.
--------
You took a drag from your cigarette before you sighed. It was late. You should be asleep, especially after such a long day. You just couldn't find kt in yourself. You ended up being restless after everything that has happened.

Thanos has been a part of your life even before you were born. Your destiny since Reed and Moony created the Avengers. So many people had given up their lives for you to have a chance to stop Thanos. Everything had lead to this.

And you've never even met the guy.

Y/N: Fuck.

Tandy: You better not let Elise hear you.

You turned around and found your wife walking towards you. Unlike everyone else who was asleep, Tandy wore a white sweater and some black leggings. Her hair was tied up.

Tandy: Nadia would kill you if she ever repeats half the shit you say.

She laughed which made you smile a bit as she joined you on leaning against the railing. She looked at you for a moment before she snatched your cigarette and took a drag.

Tandy: So, what's on your mind?

Y/N: Nothing.

Tandy: Bullshit. You're clearly troubled about something. Talk to me babe.

You looked at her for a moment before sighing.

Y/N: It's just, everything I've ever done has lead to this. Everything leads back to Thanos. I'm going to have to fight him. It's inevitable. I just, don't want anyone to get hurt in the process.

Tandy placed a hand on your and tossed the cigarette away.

Tandy: If we do, it's because we chose to follow you. It's not your fault. It'll never be your fault.

Y/N: I know.

Tandy: This includes all of us regardless of rather or not this is your destiny. The moment we decided to be heroes, we were involved.

She kissed your cheek and turned your head so that you were looking at her.

Tandy: So don't blame yourself. We're with you. 110%

You smiled before leaning in to kiss her. The two of you enjoyed the silent moment as you wondered what was coming next.

Whatever it was, you were ready.
