You let out a yawn as you walked into the Tower's living room from the balcony with Sam. Sam took off his helmet while you pulled off your mask.

Y

/N: Man, talk about a long day.

Sam: I know. I'm beat. We got food in here, right?

Widow looked over the couch and saw the two of you walking in, looking exhausted.

Y/N: Yo. I'm back. Finally.

You and Sam walked over to the fridge and grabbed some milk from the fridge while Viv handed you the box of cereal. You grabbed a fork and headed to the table.

Viv: You have traces of space minerals on your skin.

Y/N: Yep. Went to space.

Widow: And how was that?

You and Sam looked at each other before you both just shivered. You sat at the table and poured yourself some cereal. You and Sam ate in peace, before something landed on the balcony. The door opened and everyone watched as a horse like creature walked in.

Widow: Oh, uh, hey, Beta Ray. What are you doing here?

Beta looked over at you and Sam. He then pointed at you both.

Beta: They must pay for their crimes!

Widow looked over at you both with unamused eyes.

Widow: The hell did you two do?

Sam: Nothing. We literally did nothing.

Y/N: Is this about those spiders? It was in self defense.

Beta: Why did you aid Captain Skaarn?

You and Sam looked at each other.

Sam: The guy needed a boost.

Beta: So you helped one of the darkest souls in our quadrant?

Y/N: Darkest souls? The guy was strained in space while some dudes were blasting away.

Venom: I can confirm.

Beta looked over to Widow who just put her hands up.

Widow: I have no idea what they're talking about. They just got back. But they're good kids. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

Beta turned back to you and Sam.

Beta: It is true. You saw my people attacking Captain Skaarn's ship. But you you didn't see, what you could not have seen, was that Skaarn attacked and enslaved my people while I was away on a journey.

You and Sam sat there for a moment before you dropped your head to the table and Sam threw his helmet across the room.

Y/N: Sam?

Sam: Yeah?

Y/N: We fucked up.

Sam: Yeah.

Beta set his hammer down on the counter beside Viv who looked at it with interest. Widow also got up and walked over to you.

Beta: I can see that you are upset to learn that you helped a true villian, but I have no more time to spend on Earth. I cam to see what your roles in this misadventure were. Now I must find Skaarn and free my people before he can bring them any more harm.

You stood up while Sam retrieved his helmet.

Y/N: We're going to help.

Sam: We need to help.

Beta smiled.

Beta: It speaks to your character that you would want to clean up this mess.

Viv: Than you mustn't delay.

She held out Beta's hammer towards him which he slowly took while eyeing the synthezoid.

Beta: Aye.

He then turned back to you.

Beta: My name is Beta Ray Bill.

Y/N: Monster. So, you friends with Thor?

Beta: How could you tell?

Venom: Call it a random guesss. Widow, ssssweetheart, we'll be back late.

Widow rolled her eyes as the three of you headed to the balcony. You activated the energy force and flew off. Viv watched for a moment before Nadia rushed in.

Nadia: I heard space stuff! What did I miss?

Monster:
Year 1

Sam: Alright, Helmet. Where is Skaarn's ship? Zero in on that dead Nova's helmet.

No response.

Sam: Seriously? How damaged are you?

Beta: No matter, young Nova. We shall have to develop another way to find Skaarn's ship.

Y/N: I have an idea. Why don't we follow his trail of destruction?

Beta nodded and lead the way.

Beta: We will make this right.

Y/N: We better. I still can't believe we helped a slaver. Man, Twitter would so cancel us if they knew.

Sam nodded in agreement while Beta was confused. What was a Twitter?

Regardless, you flew through space looking for any trace of Skaarn that you could. Luckily, Beta knew a few places you could check out so you wouldn't be spending years looking for a clue.

Beta: He has been attacking ships around this system for several Earth months.

Y/N: Looks like this is as good a place to start looking.

As you flew, Sam kept his helmet open to all channels. However, you didn't need a signal to tell you that those were explosions in the distance.

Y/N: That ship's under attack!

Beta: Then we shall save them.

You all flew to the ship. You saw a breach in the hull and moved quickly before one of the ship's occupants could fly out. You quickly caught them and flew them back inside while Sam covered the hole with Nova force.

Y/N: You alright?

Alien: I swear, from this cycle forward I shall never again say a bad word against an earthling. How could I ever thank you?

Y/N: Trust me, it's the least we can do. Get to a safe place in the ship. I'll fix this hole.

The alien nodded and hurried off. Sam let go of the hole and you moved out and forced the metal together before you welded it together with your flames.

Below, Beta caught the ship to stop it from crashing into the planet below.

Beta: ODIN, GIVE ME STRENGTH!

You and Sam flew down and helped him.

Sam: The crew is safe.

Beta: Let us stabilize their orbit, but we mustn't delay our pursuit for Skaarn.

Once the ship was able to fly on its own, you all let go and waved at the people on board before flying off.

Beta: Skarrn must be stopped before he strikes again. Did either of you see a star chart? Perhaps you heard something.

Venom: He sssaid he wassss going nowhere.

Y/N: That's right. When I asked him where he was going, he just said "nowhere".

Beta hummed.

Beta: You may know more than you think, young Monster.

Sam: Wow. First for everything.

You just laughed as Beta opened up a portal that you flew through. As you did, you chuckled to yourself.

Y/N: Hey, doesn't space kinda smell like fireworks?

Sam: It does!

Beta: And the crackle of ozone.

The three of you laughed.

Sam: Hey, thanks for helping us with this Skaarn mess.

Beta: No need to thank me. I only help to prevent more innocents from being taken from their homes. Home is everything, heroes.

Home is everything.

You gritted your teeth.

Felicia: We're leaving.

You still haven't told Sam about it yet. That's probably why he's not being all sensitive about the issue like Widow was. Felt kinda nice.

Suddenly, you found something that made you and Sam stop with wide eyes.

Y/N: Woah.

Beta: Boys, this is Knowhere!

Sam: Is that...a giant head?

Beta: Aye. The head of a long dead celestial. It is now neutral ground for all kinds of folk. It also has its share of scoundrels and mutts, and there is even a powerful teleporter, couple of spanning cosmos.

Y/N: People like living in a giant head?

Beta pulled his cape over his head in an attempt to cover himself.

Beta: This calls for subterfuge.

Sam and you looked at him confused.

Y/N: Come again?

Beta: I'm going to scout around Knowhere quietly. Skaarn has never seen me. I also want to find an earthling aboard named Cosmo. If Skaarn has been doing business here, he'll know.

Y/N: I'll go with you. Venom can cover me.

Sam: Guess I'll just wait here, on my own, doing nothing.
----------
Venom covered your body as you entered the bar with Beta. It was filled to the brim with all kinds of alien life forms. From those who look kinda human, to those who looked nowhere near human.

Ghal: Mr. Skaarn, your reputation proceeds you. So let me say that my War Bringer is cloaked outside and slightly out of phase with this universe. But it could be brought to bear at any moment.

You stopped at the conversation and hung around after getting Beta's attention.

Skaarn: I'm glad you mentioned your giant. I'm looking to trade manpower for firepower. I'm planning a job and I need some brute strength.

Ghal: Such a thing is doable specifically?

War bringer? That seems like a big issue.

Skaan: I would like one of those mechanical War Bringers.

Ghal: HA! Like you could possibly afford it. You offer slaves, a commodity among the stars. How do you propose to acquire something as special as a giant War Bringer?

Skaarn: You have haven't heard my final offer.

Ghal: Oh?

Skaarn: Here it is.

He suddenly pulled out a blaster and shot the alien which made everyone get up in a panic.

Skaarn: Should've given me what I wanted. War Bringer, activate.

Beta: Go help Nova deal with the giant. I shall deal with the murderer!

You nodded and flew out of the bar. You flew around the massive head and found the massive robot appear in front of Sam.

Sam: Woah. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Y/N: Sam, that's a War Bringer!

Sam turned around at your voice but the War Bringer swung his hand and smacked both of you through the side of the head which caused your to crash through it. You hit something rolled away and your face landed in something soft.

Alien: Uh, you're gonna have to pay for that.

You pulled yourself away and your face went red when you realized you were surrounded by alien women.

Y/N: Uh, hey, ladies.

Alien: You're kinda too you g to be in here, kid.

Alien: The force shield went up over the breach, but I see something else.

You rushed over to the wall just in time to see the War Bringer's fist coming right towards the head. You instead flew out and caught the fist with your energy forcing you forward. As you held back the fist, Sam sat up and groaned.

Sam: Ouch. Back to work.

Sam flew out and punched the War Bringer which caused it to fly back. You turned back to the women.

Y/N: Sorry for the damage!

Alien: Honey, if you can beat that thing, we'll owe you one.

You blushed a bit.

Y/N: O-Oh. I'll keep that in mind.

Venom: Alien choocie!

You turned back to the War Bringer and flew off towards it.  It grabbed Sam in his hand but Sam channeled his energy into a blast that blew the hand wide open.

You then flew forward and let out a war cry as you flew right into the mouth of the machine. You focused your energy and powers which created massive ball of energy from the inside of the machine.

Sam watched as the whole robot erupted in the vacuum of space. Floating there, was you with bright eyes and more energy than he had ever seen before.

Sam: Dude, how did you do that?

You looked at your hands as you returned to normal.

Y/N: I...I have no idea. But that was awesome!

You did a flip and laughed before you and Sam high fived. You saved Knowhere.
-------------
Beta: You both fought valiantly. Good work.

You and Sam found Beta in the center hub of Knowhere. In his custody was none other than Skaarn.

Sam: So, you got our not so friendly Captain?

Beta: And the rest of his crew is being dealt with. However, I haven't the slightest clue as to what to do with him. He does have a rather large bounty on his head.

You gave it some thought before you snapped your finger.

Y/N: I have an idea. In order to get something that will make all this worth it and then some.

Sam and Beta looked at you for a moment as you grinned. The two followed you as you flew through space before you opened up a portal of your own using a spell Wanda taught you.

You all flew through it when a ship appeared.

Sam: Oh. Oh! Let's go!

Beta: I shall await your return.
----------
Cadivan: You again?! Why have you returned to my ship?!

You and Sam sat at the table that was set with more food than you had ever seen in your entire life. Cadivan's wife, Lylina, did say that you could help yourself to it.

Sam: I can't belive you put out a table like this for us. I thought you hated us.

Cadivan: It's not for you, and I don't like you. Getting back to your offer: You're just giving me a valuable criminal with a massive bounty on his head? And what do you suppose your cut should be?

Sam leaned forward.

Sam: You only have one thing I want. The helmet.

Cadivan slammed his fist in the table causing some food to fall over but you and Venom managed to catch a few plates.

Cadivan: NEVER! I won that old Nova helmet fair and square!

Lylina: CADIVAN!

Everyone froze at the sound of his wife as she walked back in to see what had happened.

Lylina: I worked all cycle for this feast!

Cadivan: Uh, sorry?

Lylina: You should be. Now give these boys that helmet.

Cadivan: I earned it!

Sam: I'm not a boy!

Y/N: This food is delicious.

Venom: Agreed.

Lylina smiled at your compliment before she turned back to her husband.

Lylina: How long do you plan to laze about while you empty our coffers? When was the last time you bagged a smuggler or murderer?

Cadivan: I don't...

Lylina: And then a bounty drops into your lap and you hem and haw about giving up a helmet that doesn't even fit your head? Grow up! Perhaps I need to come out of retirement and start bounty hunting myself. Besides, he's clearly tracking us through it. Who knows what else he can do with it.....

Lylina stormed off into the next room. As she contiued her rant while the three of you sat there in fear and awe.

Cadivan: Bring the prisoner on board and you can take the helmet. Bow go before she gets mad.

Venom: Ssshe isssn't mad already?

Hell has no scorn like a woman's wrath. Or however the saying goes.
-------------
You sat next to Sam and Beta as you drank whatever was in the space cup you were given by one of the women of Knowhere.

Beta: A glorious conclusion to this wonderful adventure.

Sam: To losing my V-Card in space! The question is, which one will I pick?

Venom: The blue one! No, wait, the red one!

You just laughed as you drank some more. Is this how being drunk feels? Cause it feels awesome. Plus there was like, so many boobs in here.

Beta: You two have more than earned this. Have fun!

Y/N: Deal! Now, what was that favor you owed me?

The women giggled as you stood up and stumbled over to one.

Y/N: I got some stuff to get off my mind and some feelings to repress. To bed!

The women all laughed as you made your way to the back. You found the bed and sat down as you laughed.

Alien: So, hon, what do you like?

Y/N: Hm?

Alien: Well, it's my specialty. I can be whatever you want me to be.

She ran her finger against your cheek. You gave it some thought before you shrugged.

Y/N: I dunno.

Alien: Course you do. You just can't word it. Let me.

She placed a hand on your head and you felt her look through your mind. She found what she was looking for and you watched as she changed. Your smile slowly faded when you saw who she had become.

Y/N: Felicia?

Alien: Is that who this is? Well, here I am.

She slowly lowered herself towards you as you stared at her.

Alien: Now, what do you want me to do?

You shook your head.

Y/N: I....I can't do this. Sorry.

You got off the bed and headed back to the lounge. There, you found Beta getting some attention from the girls while Sam was ready to make his move. However, he noticed you standing there and stood up.

Sam: Hey, you good? You look a bit sick.

You shook your head.

Y/N: No. I'm not. It's...Felicia left.

Sam looked at you for a moment before he noticed the Felicia look a like in the doorway. He pieced it together and nodded.

Sam: Beta, uh, we're gonna go back.

Beta: Already? Very well. I shall keep these women company! Safe travels, my friends. Godspeed!

You both nodded and left. As you flew through space, you felt guilt.

Y/N: I'm sorry.

Sam: Nah. Besides, I kinda want to sleep with a human for my first time. And, uh, I wasn't going to keep you there.

You smiled slightly.

Y/N: Thank you, Sam.

Sam: Nah. Just being a good friend. Now let's head back so we can play some Street Kombat.

You nodded and ended up racing back to earth.

It was late when Widow walked into the lounge and found you and Sam asleep on the couch, exhausted from the longest two days of your life.
