You stood there awkwardly as Viv scanned you and Nadia. Once she was done, she looked at you.

Viv: Your power has increased drastically.

Sam laughed. He currently had a arm around Molly's shoulder as she leaned into him. You kinda wanted to punch him again.

Sam: You should've seen him at Sakaar. He was destroying everything around us.

You smirked a bit.

Y/N: Actually, I got some more after I went to Asgard.

Riri: The blessing?

You shook your head. You walked a ways away and took a deep breath. You then focused your power before activating the Godslayer Armor which sent mostly everyone to the ground. The only ones standing were Warlock, Thor, Robbie, and Sam. You turned it off and let out the breath your were holding. There was a small crater under you.

Sam: You can go super sayan?!

He helped Molly up while you looked at him oddly.

Y/N: What's that?

Sam looked at Nadia disappointed.

Sam: You two were in space for two years and you never showed him Dragon Ball?

Nadia: I didn't even watch it on Earth.

You walked over and helped her up before you looked at the others. Everyone really had changed over the last few years. It was actually nice to see.

Y/N: Where's everyone else?

Eli: Depends on who you're asking for.

Nadia: Laura and Kitty?

Gwendolyn: X Mansion working as teachers.

Y/N: Danny and Cindy?

Gwen: Defenders. Well, the New Defenders.

Nadia: Felicia and Doreen?

Molly: They joined SHEILD.

Y/N: Tandy and Tyrone?

Robbie: MIA as far as we know.

Nadia: Miles and Quentin?

Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

Riri: They both left. Miles took over as the new Spider-Man and Quentin, just dissapeared.

You realized the mood had greatly dropped. You and Nadia looked at each other before you looked back to the Guardians.

Y/N: Oh! Guys!

You moved so you were standing between the two groups.

Y/N: Guardians, Avengers. Avengers, Guardians.

Riri: You guys are the Guardians Sam told us about?

Peter: I guess. You guys must be Y/N's friends he can't shut up about.

They all looked at you. You just shrugged.

Y/N: I missed you all.

You looked over to where Viv was standing.

Y/N: All of you.

Viv blushed a bit but looked away. Seems that she isn't quite ready to talk. That was fine. You understood.

Viv: We missed you both as well.

You looked up at her voice. She wasn't looking at you, but she was smiling. You couldn't help but smile back.

Gwendolyn: So the two of you finally tied the knot. I honestly thought Danny and Cindy would be the first ones.

You smiled as you wrapped and arm around Nadia to pull her close.

Y/N: I wish you guys could've been there! She was so beautiful in her dress that I almost cried!

Nadia tried to push you off as you hugged her tighter.

Nadia: You're, crushing, me.

Everyone laughed a bit at your weird display of affection. You let go and kissed her forehead before you turned back to the others.

???: Hello?! Where is everyone?!

You froze in place as the doors from the main building opened behind you. You slowly turned around and found both Felicia and Doreen stepping outside. They stopped when they saw you and Nadia. The Guardians looked at them, then at you, back at them, then back at you.

Rocket: Oh. This is going to be good.

Y/N: H-Hey.

Doreen: You're back?

Y/N: Temporarily.

Felicia: Is that a wedding ring?

Nadia: Yeah.

Doreen: You two got married?

Y/N: Last week.

Everyone could feel the extremely thick tension in the air. Now, you have faced a god by this point. You have also gone toe to toe, and won, against a verison of yourself that had defeated multiple gods. You have seen death time and time again. The horrors of war, the struggles of homelessness, and even the terror of watching all of your friends die.

None of those could compare to the fear you felt right at this moment.

Peter: Oh, my, God. This is amazing.

You and Nadia looked at each other nervously.

Y/N: Uh, I got a lot to explain.

Felicia: Damn right you do.

Y/N: Right. I should start at the beginning.
-----------
Robbie: Wow. The fuck is going on in space?

Sam: It's like the wild west out there man. Crazy stuff.

You had just gotten done telling everyone everything from when you left after learning about the Godslayer Protocol up to how you became the All-Father. Everyone was pretty speechless. This was understandable. It was quite the odyssey.

Eli: So you're completely free from the Protocol and you're the king of both a ragtag group of gladiators and Asgard?

You nodded.

Gwen: Wow. I don't know if I should bow.

Y/N: Please don't. It's so uncomfortable.

Kamala: And when you fought Warlock for the first time, was there any sexual tension or...

Everyone looked ta her.

Kamala: Strictly platonic. Got it.

You rolled your eyes before you glanced over to where Felicia, Doreen, and Viv were sitting. They seem to be thinking.

Riri: So you're looking for Jane so you can fight Laufey? We can help to.

Nadia: Really?!

Sam: Of course. You guys might not be apart of the Avengers but you are our friends.

Molly: And family.

Robbie: Strikers stay together. Even now.

You looked at everyone and smiled.

Y/N: You guys are really willing to help us?

Kamala: Of course! Let's go kick some frosty ass!

Gwendolyn: FANTASY BATTLE!

Everyone then looked over to the three girls.

Riri: You guys in to?

Viv nodded.

Viv: I shall join in this fight. For my, friends.

Felicia: We might as well come along to.

Doreen: Agreed.

You smiled. Maybe you could make up with them after all.

Danny: And you can count us in as well.

You stokd up and turned around to see Danny entering the room with Cindy. You smiled before you noticed who they were with.

Y/N: Shang-Chi? Luna?! The hell are you guys doing here?

Danny smiled as he signaled to them.

Danny: Meet the new Defenders.

Shang-Chi: Though, now that you're back, I want that rematch.

You laughed a bit before you and Danny shared a hug.

Danny: It is good to see you are well my friend.

Y/N: Likewise you hippie.

You teo separated and you turned back to the others. The Avengers, the Defenders, the Guardians, and even most of the Strikers. Looks like you have the army you need after all.

Thor: In that case, I shall set off on my quest.

Nadia: To find Jane?

Thor: She can still be of great use to us. I shall return with her before the battle.

You shook his hand.

Y/N: Godspeed.

Thor gave you an odd look.

Y/N: It's just something we say.

Thor: Well then, Godspeed.

He bowed before he headed out. It was now just you and your friends.

Y/N: I, ah, just want to say thank you.

Riri: You can thank us after you get that third blessing.

You smiled. You almsot forgot how it felt to have a family.

Shang-Chi: So, let's see that power.

You smirked.

Y/N: You sure about that?
-------
After, a very quick, beating, you streached while noticing you didn't even break a sweat. Shang-Chi, on the other hand, was half way buried under the ground.

Luna: You have gotten a lot stronger. I don't think I've ever seen you use blue flames.

Y/N: They're kinda new.

You looked over to the others and saw that Nadia was talking to the girls as they gushed over her ring.

Robbie: They missed you a lot you know.

You looked to your friend who was also looking at the girls.

Sam: Yeah. All of us did.

Eli: Things really weren't the same after you left. I, uh, actually kinda had a vendetta against you for a while.

Y/N: Because of the Protocol?

Eli nodded.

Sam: A lot of us didn't know what to believe anymore. It caused a rift between us and it was the reason some of us left.

Eli: Miles, Laura, Kitty, and even Danny. Nadia to but I'm guessing you already knew that.

Y/N: Yeah. She told me. I'm sorry for putting you guys through that.

Robbie laughed.

Robbie: Like you had a choice. You had no say in the matter. At the end of the day, no one hates you.

Y/N: I did just leave to space without any warning.

Sam: To get the power to stop the end of the universe.

You shrugged.

Y/N: Still. I...

Eli: Cut the shit man. We forgave you a long time ago. Stop beating yourself up.

Robbie: As for the girls, they forgive you. It might take some time but they'll eventually talk to you again. Just give it some time.

You smiled.

Y/N: Thanks. I appreciate it.
------------
At a unknown location,

???: What was that?

Scientist: I said, the aging process has made an unexpected change.

The man stood up and pushed the scientist away. He marched his way over to the testing room and found that the three children had aged faster than expected. They were no long 5. They were now 13.

???: How did this happen?!

Scientist: T-The serum affected the aging process.

???: Then stop it!

The Scientist rushed off to get to work while the man stared at the three, teenagers.

Stella: I'm so bored! Why do we still have to take these tests?

Sun: To test our minds! After this we can have playtime.

Stella: Yeah but, what's the point? We already have our powers down by now.

Sun: But we can get better!

Stella just sighed before she turned to her other brother.

Stella: What do you think about this Jericho?

The long haired boy just shrugged. He wasn't the strongest or the smartest. He was the leader regardless. Even if he didn't want to be.

Jericho: We should focus on training. We can always get better.

Sun stuck his tounge out at at his siter who just rolled her eyes.

Stella: Whatever.

She crossed her arms before the door opened and their "mother" stepped in.

Mother: Hello my sweeties. Did you two give it your all?

No one answered.

Mother: That's what I like to hear. You can now go have playtime.

All: Thank you Mother.

The lady left and the three teens stood up. Sun was the strongest of the three while Stella had the brains. Jericho led them out of the room and into the next one which was filled with various items they could use to test their powers even more.

Jericho looked down at his hand and coated it with ice. He walked over to the ounching bag and covered his other hand in ice. He began his workout while Sun took off his shirt and summoned his flames. Stella decided to head to the obstacle course in the next room as electricity coated her entire body.

The man watched in both anger and interest. The aging process has messed up the original plan but it seems that they were still competent enough to learn on their own.

???: Those damn scientists.

Jericho kept on beating on the bag before he looked at the glass that separated them from the others. He looked at the man who simply stared back.

The man who was the reason for everything.

Jericho: Bastard.

He punched the bag one last time causing it to go flying off the chains. Sun completely melted the three dummies in front of him. Stella turned her body into electricity and blasted through the course with amazing speeds.

Not too far from the secret island, four men sailed towards them.
