↳ becoming an avenger... again?

the needles were pressing into strange's skin, he grunted when they entered. evi closed her eyes, that must've really hurt.

"they were originally designed for microsurgery" explained the alien "and any of them-" he was interrupted by a loud thud and turned around, behind him stood stark and evi, ready to fight, stark already loading his lasers. "-could end your friend's life in an instant" he ended

"i gotta tell you, he's not really my friend, saving his life is more of a professional courtesy"

the alien outstretched his hand and let a metallic object levitate beside him. "you've saved nothing" he did the same on his other side "your powers are inconsequential compared to mine"

"yeah, but the kids seen more movies"
a little laser came out of his shoulder and shot into the side of the spaceship, opening it up, the pressure sucking the alien along with his objects out into space.

strange was also beginning to fall out, but was catches by his cape, evi helping with her powers, she could feel them coming back and getting stronger again, her death had taken a lot of effort and her powers had suffered from that, so they weren't enough yet, to set strange onto the ground beside her. he couldn't hold onto the cape anymore, flying towards the exit

"shit!" evi exclaimed, but peter reacted fast and could hold strange right before he was sucked into space, his suit having spider legs and holding him around the lack. "yes!" he screamed excited "wait, what are those?" he pushed them both off, back into the ship again, while stark froze off the exit, closing the lack.

"hey we haven't officially met" peter said, holding his hand out to the cape, which turned away

"i think it has no interest in meeting you, spider-boy"

"it's spider-man, b-but you can call me whatever you want"

"i think i'll stick with peter then" evi laughed

"um yeah sure, that's- thats totally fine, ugh ms maximoff"

at that evi laughed even more "you don't have to call me ms maximoff, that's my sister i guess, just call me evi. we're the same age, aren't we?"

peter nodded quickly "alright, yeah and theoretically you're older, i was born in 2001 but you were born in 1999, so i guess you've not aged since then but today you would be-"

"-nineteen" interrupted evi, sinking her head, tears beginning to well in her eyes.

"i'm sorry?" peter exclaimed startled at her reaction "did i say something wrong?"

evi just shook her head and turned away from him "don't worry about it"

"we gotta turn the ship around" exclaimed strange in that moment

"yeah, now he wants to run, great plan"
stark said sarcastically

the cape positioned itself around strange's shoulder again "no i want to protect the stone"

"and i want you to thank me, now, go ahead. i'm listening"

"for what? nearly blasting me into space?"

"who just saved your magical ass? me!"

"no" evi exclaimed, stepping up beside strange "peter did, you just did what you got told to do"

"i seriously don't know how you fit your head into that helmet" continued strange

"admit it, you should've ducked out when i told you to. i tried to bench you, you refused"

"unlike everyone else in your life, i don't work for you. you might have the power to dictate your little entourage but that's it"
he pointed behind him to evi and peter

"we're not his entourage" evi exclaimed outraged "i for my part don't take any commands from that man, i'm just here, because i couldn't leave the boy and because i was told i would be needed"

"yeah, what she said" tony slapped his hand away in annoyance "and due to the fact you don't work for me, we're now in a flying doughnut billions of miles away from earth with no backup"

"we're backup" peter rose his hand and pointed at evi and himself

"no you're a stowaway, she is a moody teenage witch, the adults are talking"

"i'm sorry, i'm confused as to the relationship here, what is he, your ward?

"no" said peter "i'm peter, by the way" he stepped forward outstretching his hand to shake strange's

"doctor strange" he pulled his hand back

"oh, we're using our made-up names. um.. i'm spider-man then"

"and she what's her relation to you?"

"we were on the same team for awhile, after she became good, but then she-"

"-i died. is that enough relation to you?" evi asked annoyed, doctor strange just nodded, noticing the discomfort and that she didn't like to talk about her past

"the ship is self-correcting its course, things on autopilot" stark said

"can we control it? fly us home?" no one answered that "stark? can you get us home?"

"yeah, i heard you. i'm thinking i'm not so sure we should"

"under no circumstances can we bring the time stone to thanos"

"yes, he's right! are you implying to walk right onto his planet and then what? fight him with four people? you must be kidding, stark, you know how this ends. let's just turn around, okay? i just want to see my sister again, before it's too late"

stark sunk his head, clearly understanding where she was coming from

"she's right, i don't think you quite understand what's at stake here"

"it's you who doesn't understand that thanos has been inside my head for six years, since he sent an army to new york and now he's back and i don't know what to do"

"well, not that" evi bellowed

stark turned his head away from her and back to strange "i'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on our turf or his... but you saw what they did, what they can do. at least on his turf, he's not expecting it." he made a pause and caught evi's eyes "and i'm sorry maximoff, i really am, but i say we take the fight to him, doctor"

"no!" evi screamed "we can't fight him alone, we need the others, we-we need steve and wanda and vision, we cannot do this alone, this hasn't worked stark and you know that"

"what is she talking about?" peter asked confused

"i'm talking about the last time that we lost"

"the last time? we never fought before" exclaimed peter

"steve told me" evi sighed "steve told me that we lost the last time and stark said it too, in- in the future"

peter made a shocked sound at that, the doctor just grinning at her answer

"you come from the future?" asked peter, unsure

"i was dead before and am alive again, we're on a giant doughnut flying into space, after we fought an alien, you're spider-boy, he's a wizard and stark is- something.. and me coming from the future is the part you don't believe?" asked evi sarcastically

"alright that's fair" said stark "but we cannot run now"

"alright, stark. we go to him, but you have to understand if it comes to saving you or the kids or the time stone.. i will not hesitate to let either of you die. i can't because the universe depends on it"

"nice. good, moral compass" stark patted strange's arm "we're straight"

he stepped away from strange, evi let her head sink into her hands "this is not going to end well" she muttered

"alright, kid" stark exclaimed at peter, taking his arm from shoulder to shoulder as if he would appoint him to a knight "your an avenger now. and you" he turned to look at evi "are one again"

he walked away from them. peter looked as if he had just won a gold medal, the proudness evident in his face

evi rolled her eyes "believe me" she stated "that is not as good as it sounds"
