Chanting.

That was the first thing that Peter heard when he finally got his hearing back. He started to slowly open and close his eyes, trying his best to focus and try go back to sleep.

"Peter? Peter." A muffled feminine voice echoed through his head.

"Five more minutes, May." Peter moaned out, wanting to sleep for a few more minutes.

"Peter!" That's when the voice became familiar.

"Sabine?" Peter opened his eyes and finally noticed Sabine, without her helmet, was sitting across from him in what looked to be some cargo containers. "Where are we?"

"Seems to me that we have been kidnapped," Sabine said with a sigh, holding up her hands to show they were cuffed. "You break us out?"

Peter looked down and noticed his cuffs were the same as hers, meaning he could easily break out of them. "I can, but..." he then looked and noticed they both had some weird device, looking similar to a restraining bolt. "I have a feeling they took some extra precautions."

Sabine looked and noticed the device herself, never noticing it. "Oh."

"I have a feeling we're gonna have to just wait this one out." Peter sighed as he stood up and walked around the container. "Hope that the others come to help us soon."

"Assuming they can find us." Sabine didn't have much faith in them finding the shuttle.

Hera and the rest flew away from the station and tried their hardest to find the shuttle before they got too far out. But by the time they got further out and were scanning for incoming and outgoing ships, the people were far gone and there was no sign of vessels in the system.

"Dang it!" Hera cried as she smacked the controls of The Ghost in anger. "No sign of them."

"What exactly happened out there? Who were these guys?" Kanan asks Hera.

"They just looked like some sort of hunters." Hera guessed as she laid back against the seat. She sighed and rubbed her head in worry. "If anything happens to them-"

"Hey, nothing will happen to them," Kanan promised as he took her hands to calm her. "But if we're going to find our team, we're going to need help."

"Like who?" Hera asks, noticing Kanan eying the kitchen. "What are you thinking?"

Kanan made his way over to the kitchen area where the others were following. All of them were wondering what their Jedi Master was planning with two of their friends missing. That's when they realized what he was planning when he picked up Peter's communicator for the other Avengers.

"What? You wanna call help from the Idiots of the Galaxy?" Zeb asks in worry.

"And the Black Panther and his sister," Ezra added in.

"We need all the help we can get, and we need as many ships as we can get," Kanan replied since all of them knew Quill and Gamora joined their crew. "It's either this or we can scour the galaxy ourselves and hope we find them eventually."

Hera sighed and knew she was going to regret this later, but right now her priority was her team. "Do it."

Kanan then activated the device and laid it on the table. They watched as the device kept blinking and nothing was happening, but it was then followed by a hologram of Gamora appearing first.

"We weren't expecting a communication today," Gamora commented but was surprised when she saw the team. "Oh, hey."

Then to her left, another hologram appeared and T'Challa came into the hologram. "We picked your communication. What is the problem?"

"Peter and Sabine have been kidnapped," Hera informed them.

"What?" Gamora asks in shock.

Quill came into the frame and he ended up pushing Gamora out of the way. "The kid was taken? By who?"

"That's what we need help figuring out," Hera stated in anger, feeling it was her fault this happened. "And we could use your help."

"Well, we're gonna need a ride." Shuri came into view behind her brother.

"We'll head for Lothal and pick you guys up." Kanan offered.

"And we can make a rendezvous point for us to meet up," Gamora confirmed and looked across her ship. "Just have to convince the captain."

"Do what you need to," Hera asked of them and hung up. "Time to set course for Lothal."

Back with the captured soldiers, the container they were in opened up and they were met with both scorching heat and unbearable light. They could barely look out of the container due to the light coming in and were then surrounded by droids and a few armed men.

"Up on your feet." One of them demanded as they aimed a gun at Peter's head. "Now."

Peter decided to just comply as he watched Sabine get the same treatment as him. They both were brought to their feet and were led outside where they were confirmed to have been brought to a desert planet.

Then they saw a large Sandrock and dura steel complex located at the fringes of the Northern Dune Sea. They were then dragged towards the doors which opened for them and they were dragged further into the castle.

"What the hell is this place?" Peter asks in confusion.

"I don't know for sure, but I have a bad feeling about this," Sabine commented as they were pushed.

When they have been dragged down a staircase, they were then met with... a truly disgusting sight. What they saw looked like a gigantic slug with arms.

He was literally a large green slug-like alien called a Hutt with some beige coloring on his pimpled face, bloated belly, and grimy underside. He also had a large mouth without teeth, a slobbery tongue, and a tattoo of his clan insignia on his right arm.

They were brought in front of the slug and brought to their knees in front of the creature. They watched as it seems that he was smoking (or what this universe considered smoking) and looked down at the two.

The slug started to make some babble that neither of them understood. Then a droid came up to his side and seemed to be similar to that 3P0 unit that they met.

"The mighty Jabba would like to know what it is that you have brought to him." The droid translated whatever he was saying.

"Contenders." One of the men brought the two of them in to explain.

"What?" Sabine and Peter both asked in shock, followed by them getting tazed by the devices on their neck.

"We thought you could use some more competitors in your tournaments for your Champion." Another explains, stopping the tazing on the two. "We watched them hold off on their own against the creature in an old mining facility. Only ones to survive."

"A Mandalorian is a hard find these days." He stated and kneed Sabine to bring her to her elbows.

Peter however started to come up with a plan. He started to realize that they wanted the two of them as some sort of bounty for a battle arena in this world. If he could keep them entertained, he could passively keep the two of them alive and as he fights, Sabine could plan their escape.

"She's not a Mandalorian." Peter quickly tells them, earning looks of confusion from everyone in the room. "We found the armor on the base we were at. I had my own armor, and she was the only one who could fit it." Sabine looked over in shock, not understanding exactly what he was planning. "Look at her. She doesn't even have the helmet." Luckily they left the helmet behind on the Phantom, so that makes their story somewhat believable. "She got lucky. I'm the one who you want, she's useless in a fight. She's just a servant on the ship. I'll willingly fight for you, I'll fight anyone, but the one thing that I ask is that you leave her out of it."

Jabba seemed to begin considering the offer and looked between Sabine and her armor. Luckily Jabba has had dealings with the Mandalorians before coming to a conclusion. Jabba then made a bunch of noises again and got the droid's attention.

"Jabba seemed to agree to your conditions." Then she gestured to the men. "Bring him to the others."

Peter was then grabbed and dragged off. But to his shock, Jabba said something and Sabine was grabbed and brought closer to the slug.

"Mighty Jabba says that he might still have use for you if not for a competitor." The droid explains.

Sabine groaned and was disgusted as she was getting some bad ideas about what was going to go down.

Peter was then shoved into a dark room that looked like it was some sort of prison. He got up and saw the handcuffs come off as he ran over to the door. But he was too late when the door was closed and he couldn't get out. He couldn't even explain his plan to Sabine as she was definitely going to try and save him.

He sighed as he started to look around the area, seeing nothing but complete darkness around him. He then heard what sounded like pitter-patter from the darkness and became worried.

"Who's there?" Peter asks in the darkness.

He then heard clunking and knew something was coming, and got ready for a fight with whatever was coming for him. But he was surprised by the fact that the intruder was a droid. This droid was a few feet tall, barely bigger than Peter's own feet. It even looked like it was on two small legs with a pair of binoculars as a head.

The droid then whistled and bleeped, and Peter was surprisingly able to keep up. It was like it was speaking in morris code, which Peter was able to understand.

"Uh, hi." Peter greeted the droid as he kneeled so he could be face to-face (as much as he can). "What's your name?"

The droid slowly approached, reminding Peter of cats on his earth, as it slowly approached him. It then bleeped and made its way over to Peter.

"BD-22?" Peter asks, making sure that he understood him correctly.

BD-22 bleeped to confirm that he was right and jumped on Peter's knee. He chuckled and caressed the head of the robot.

"Okay, nice to meet you. My name is Peter." Peter introduced himself as he stood up and looked sprung. "You know what's going to happen to my friend?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Ghost crew quickly picked up the Wakandan royals as they needed to get all the allies that they had together. With their friends gone, they were down two of their most powerful members, not to mention that one of those members is an Avenger, an Outsider. This means if he were ever discovered, he would be headed right for the Empire.

They were then making their way for Numidian Prime where the Guardians said they would be making their appearance. Kanan and Hera were the only two who went, along with T'Challa and Shuri as they were the only responsible ones. They were waiting worryingly, wondering what was happening to their friends.

Were they going to be sold as slaves in some backwater world? Were they going to kill them and then strip them of their armor?

"Hey, guys," Quill called out as he, Gamora, a man, and a Wookie approached them. "You made it."

"Quill. Gamora. Thank you for coming for our hour in need." Kanan said with a sigh and shook their hands. "And you are?"

Han Solo then walked ahead and kept one hand near his blaster. "Han Solo, Captain of the Millennium Falcon."

"Thank you for agreeing to help us," Hera said with relief.

"For a price, no doubt." Kanan took a guess.

"Hey, we're just trying to make our way through the galaxy, can't do that without credits." Han shrugged.

Chewbacca growled and howled at his friend.

"I've got it, Chewie," Han promises, and the group was led to an empty table. "So, your friends were taken?"

"By some sort of scouting group," Hera said as she lowered a holo chip to the table and showed them the ship. "This is what came and took them."

"Ah, I'm familiar with this class," Han admitted as he looked it over. "Only a handful of them exist through the galaxy. All under the same hand."

"Who?" Hera was happy to hear that he knows about the ship.

"The Hutts." Han was sorry to tell them.

Kanan and Hera looked at one another in worry, both of them knowing of the name. Quill and Gamora however haven't had the experience with the planet to be as familiar with that name.

"What's a Hutt?" Quill asks them.

"They run the biggest crime family everywhere," Kanan explains to them. "Heard the stories during the Clone Wars."

"And also I work for them from time to time," Han admitted with a sigh. "Thanks to these guys, I was able to pay off the large debt I had to Jabba."

"You didn't make it easy," Gamora commented.

"Yeah, that job on Lola Sayu didn't exactly make things easy." Quill scoffed and crossed his arms.

"Hey, you got out of there alive, didn't you?" Han asked as he turned to face him.

"More than what I can say about M'crath." Gamora scoffed.

"Who?" Hera asks.

"You don't wanna know," Quill stated, shuttering at the reminder. "The way his skin melted."

"Wait, hold up." Han was looking over the information about where they were taken and headed. "These ships require a lot of fuel, and to get away they'd have to use a Hyperspace route."

"So?" Gamora asks in curiousness.

"So, that means that they would have had to refuel, given they had to make an unexpected detour. Which means, the only place they could have gone is..." he then pulled up a system and was surprised. "Bespin."

"What's on Beapin?" Kanan wonders.

"A mutual friend," Gamora admitted with a sigh. "If that's what you call that."

"Lando Calrissian," Han explains and showed them a holo of Lando. "I've heard you've met."

"Yes." Kanan sighed. "We've met."

"When he sold his farm after finding a fortune with that pig, he bought the mining facility of Cloud City, and went straight," Gamora explains to them.

"He also keeps files on every ship that comes and goes from his station," Han added on some good news. "So if we go, we might be able to find out where they were heading."

"And that could lead us to them," Hera said as she jumped to her feet. "What are we waiting for?"

Meanwhile, on Tatooine, Hope had gone into the marketplace to get some supplies whilst Scott was roaming Obi-Wan's place. He was a little confused why the man had a camp sight set up when he had a place where he could be living in.

"Honestly, why live in the two suns when you have a place with a roof?" Scott mumbled to himself as he wandered around.

While he was wandering around, a visitor by the name of Luke Skywalker was there. He was there to talk with Obi-Wan (or Ben as he knows him as). Kenobi was worried that with the change of the tide, the boy needed to know the truth to be prepared for what was about to come.

"No, my father didn't fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter." Luke scoffed as he sat across from Obi-Wan.

"That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals." Obi-Wan explains as he sat down and caressed his beard. "Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved."

"You fought in the Clone Wars?" Luke asks in curiousness.

"Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father," Obi-Wan said as he was sorry to think of his friend, recalling what he has now become.

Luke sighed as he thought of the father he would never know. "I wish I'd known him."

"He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and he was a cunning warrior and a good friend," Obi-Wan informs Luke. "I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. Which reminds me..."

Obi gets up and goes to a chest where he rummages around. As Luke watches shuffles up and presents Luke with a short handle with several electronic gadgets attached to it. It looked nothing like Kanan's, but it was the same tool.

"I have something here for you." Obi hands Luke the saber.

Luke then starts to inspect the weapon in curiousness. "What is it?"

"Your father's lightsaber," Obi explains as Luke then pushes a button on the handle. A long beam shoots out about four feet and flickers there. "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."

Luke hasn't really been listening as he was messing with the blade, but then pushed the button to close the blade. "How did my father die?"

Obi sighed as he knew that he had to keep this secret. "He has been corrupted by the Dark Side of the Force."

Peter was left in his cell when someone came and opened his cell, carrying an electric rod. He activated it and gestured to Peter to exit the cell. BD scurried off into a corner and hid in the darkness as Peter was taken away.

BD watched as he was taken away and sneaked into the corner where there was a hole that he used to escape. Peter was just led through the castle where he was then led to a strange arena that was once used for Pod-racing. He was surrounded by dozens of people who were chanting over and over. Jabba then came rolling into sight as he came up to a small widow to stay out of the heat. In the crowd was a certain figure who was wearing a robe and cloak that Obi-Wan had given her with a hood so that she could stay hidden.

Peter looked closely and then noticed that there was a figure being dragged on a chain. And that's when Peter realized that it was Sabine, who was stripped of her armor and was forced to wear a gold metal bikini, as long as a giant see-through cloth around her while suffering her bound torture from the Hutt. Seems the device that Peter still had attached to him was also removed from Sabine.

Peter was disgusted by this Hutt and was starting to wonder about taking this freak down. He actually figured the universes might be better if he killed this Hutt.

"The Mighty Jabba welcomes all to the new tournament." The droid who translated for Jabba earlier speaks to the crowd. "Now...we wish to introduce our new challenger for our contender."

Peter listened as he got cheers and boos from everyone all around him as he stood in the middle of the arena. He sighed and knew he wasn't here to get applauded, he just wanted to fight and get the hell out of this place. He watched as a door across from him started to open, only to unveil there was another door underneath that door.

Peter quickly got ready as he got down into his usual predator-like stance and activated the suit's extra arms for support. He started to become worried as his senses started to alert him, warning him to run and hide. But even if he listened, there was nowhere for him to go without either being out in the open or tazed again. And he didn't want to be weakened when he has to go into a fight.

Then Peter wanted as something big and scary was starting to rip its way through the doors of the place. It then grabbed the doors as it was moving too slowly, followed by it ripping the doors open.

What he saw was a green-skinned, hulking, and muscular humanoid with both dark hair and eyebrows and bright green eyes. It wore an armored shoulder guard and a Spartan helmet. He carries a Warhammer in one hand and a battleaxe in the other. It pounds his chest and roars, further energizing an already frenzied crowd. It roared out as the arena cheered and even Sabine looked shocked and horrified at the sight of the creature.

But Peter however decided to go with a different route, instead of going with fear and terror, he went with...cheerful?

"Hulk!"

In deep space, the powerful pirate starship blasts through space as it heads toward the soft pink planet of Bespin. The Ghost was flying right beside them and was keeping comms open between the two ships. It is down on the gaseous planet. Huge billowing clouds form a canyon as the ship's bank around them, heading toward the system's Cloud City.

Suddenly, two twin-pod cloud cars appear and move toward the Falcon. The cloud cars draw up alongside the starship. One of the cloud cars opens fire on the Falcon, its flak rocking the ship.

Chewie barks his concern.

Han was talking into the transmitter. "No, I don't have a landing permit. I'm trying to reach Lando Calrissian."

More flak bursts outside the cockpit window and rattles the ship's interior. Hera was starting to become concerned as she didn't want them to open fire on her ship.

"Whoa! Wait a minute! Let me explain." Han tried to get through to them.

"You will not deviate from your present course." Someone on the ship says.

Chewie barks and growls at his friend.

"Well, that was a long time ago," Han commented. "I'm sure he's forgotten about that."

"Permission granted to land on Platform Three-two-seven."

Han sighed as he saw they were able to land. "Thank you."

Angry, Han snaps off the intercom. Chewie looks at him and grunts. Han turns to the worried half-god and Daughter of Thanos.

Han rolled his eyes and tries to ease them. "There's nothing to worry about. We go way back, Lando and me. Remember?"

Gamora doesn't look convinced as she rolled her eyes. "Who's worried?"

The clouds part to reveal a full view of the city as it bobs in and out of the cloud surface. The cloud cars and the Falcon and Ghost head for the gleaming white metropolis. With the cloud cars still guarding it, the Falcon lands on one of the Cloud City's platforms.

Han and Quill stand at the open door, armed. Behind them, Chewie, also armed, surveys the scene warily.

"I don't like this," Gamora commented, feeling things are too quiet.

"Well, what would you like?" Quill asks as he took it as a blessing and walked around.

"Well, they did let us land." Ezra shrugged.

"Look, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. Trust me." Han promises them.

Lando Calrissian, a suave, dashing black man in his thirties, leads a group of aides and some Cloud City guard rapidly toward the landing platform.

The group, like the other citizens of the city, is a motley collection of aliens, droids, and humans of all descriptions. Lando has a grim expression on his face as he moves onto the landing platform.

"See? My friend." Han stated as he looked at Chewie. "Keep your eyes open, okay?"

Chewie growls as Han walks down the ramp. Lando and his men head across the bridge to meet the space pirate. Lando stops ten feet from Han. The two men eye each other carefully.

Lando shakes his head. "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler! You've got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled."

Han points to himself innocently, mouthing, "Me?"

Lando moved threateningly toward Han and looked like he was readying for a fight. Suddenly, he throws his arms around his startled, long-lost friend and embraces him.

"How are you doing, you old pirate?" Lando asks his buddy with a laugh. "So good to see you! I never thought I'd catch up with you again. Where have you been?"

"Well, we need some help," Han explains and gestured to the Ghost crew. "You're familiar, I gathered."

"Well, if it isn't Captain Syndulla." Lando greeted with a smile. "What can we do for you?"

"We're here to cash in on the favor you owe us," Hera stated and poked him in the chest. "Two of our crew have been taken, and we know they came through here for a fueling."

"Well, you're lucky I keep a list of ships and their destinations," Lando said with a smile as he gestured to one of the people with him. "Go get the list of everyone who left the last day."

"Yes, Calrissian." His man says and walks off.

"This should just be a moment," Lando promises them and walked to the doors. "But...there is someone here who wishes to see you."

All of them looked at one another, none of them sure who was here who wanted to see them.

Hulk, the Strongest Avenger, was there in the middle of the arena, shouting out as he raised his hands and weapons. He seemed to be relishing in the cheers he was receiving from the crowd. Peter however was jumping for joy, even though he wasn't quite sure how or why the Hulk was here, he'd recognize that creature anywhere in the multiverse.

"Hey!" Peter waved his hands to get Sabine's attention. "Sabine! We know each other! He's an Avenger!"

Sabine wasn't sure how to respond, especially since she couldn't shout down to Peter from where she was. All she did (and could do) was looking back and forth between Peter and Hulk while moving only her eyes. She wasn't sure what to think when she heard this guy was meant to be a Mighty Hero. He looked like a gigantic brute rather than a warrior.

"Where have you been?" Peter asks so casually as Hulk turned to face him. " Everybody thought you were killed by Ultron. And, I mean, we could have used you on Earth. You could have been a great help against Thanos." He then sighed and chuckled when he saw Hulk was a little confused. "We never officially met, but I know you. I'm...I'm Spider-Man. I know Iron Man." He chuckled and just kept a smile on under the mask. "It's just...it's a huge honor to officially meet you, Dr. Banner."

Hulk is still eyeballing Peter while the capacity crowd chants insanely for "HULK! HULK! HULK!"

"Banner. Hey, Banner!" Peter tried to get his attention again.

Hulk's face grimaces and contorts, getting angry at the reminder of the scientist. "NO BANNER!" Hulk proclaimed in anger. "Only Hulk!"

Peter was a little confused about what he meant by that when he felt his senses then go off. Hulk then started to charge toward Peter as he was starting to become worried.

"Wait, Hulk, wait. Wait!" Peter cried in terror as Hulk leaped into the air.

Peter quickly ducked and rolled out of the way as he didn't want to be crushed under the weight of his fists and weapons. Peter quickly got to his feet and used his mechanical arms to shield himself when Hulk spun and punched Peter with his Warhammer. Peter took the weapon head-on and was flung across the battle arena. He managed to dig his hands into the sand and slow himself down and got back up.

Sabine was starting to watch in worry, not sure how this was going to end now. She was concerned that Peter would hold back because of whatever history he and this brute had, but it didn't seem Hulk was going to give him the same courtesy. In the crowd, the hooded figure started to make their way out to not witness the fight but rather to get help.

Hulk raised his weapons and banged them together and roared. Peter just tried to get through to him, explaining that he isn't trying to hurt him. Even if that is something he wouldn't likely be able to accomplish.

"Dr. Banner, please, I don't want to fight you," Peter begged the man underneath the monster.

But Hulk didn't seem to be listening as he leaped into attack Peter again, but this time he retaliated rather than run. He used his mechanical hands to block the Battleaxe, then his actual hands to block the Warhammer, and two of the other suit's arms to dig into the ground to help him stand his ground. Peter leaped over Hulk and shot a web in his face, blinding him so that Peter could land and yank the web, sending Hulk tripping on the ground.

Peter thought he finally got a head-on over the Hulk, but then that was crushed when Hulk grabbed his webbing and spun him around. Peter shrieked in terror as he was spun around and then thrown across the arena, embedding himself into the wall in the process.

"Ow..." Peter groaned in pain. Then he saw that the Hulk was coming at him as fast as he could. "Oh, god!"

Peter shot out two webs and flung himself off the wall before ramming the Hulk. It seems that they were both going fast and strong enough that it ended with both of them flinging one another backward. It didn't take a minute for Hulk to get back on his feet, but it did for Peter. He groaned and crawled up, grabbing his leg as he felt the pain through the armor.

"Okay...you know what?" Peter then grabbed the Hulk's Warhammer that he dropped and spun it around. "Just screw it."

Hulk picked up his axe and swung it at Peter, who just leaped and spun to dodge the attack. He then swung the Warhammer into the Hulk's face, sending him flying and skidding back.

Peter didn't stop as he then shot a web onto Hulk's foot and yanked it, causing him to slip and fall. Peter then spin the Warhammer in his hands and raced at the Hulk. He went to attack his weapon first, cutting the axe in two before he swung to hit the Hulk in his back, but the monster managed to block the swing with his entire fist. Peter started to become worried and full of fear as he wasn't sure what was going to come next.

Hulk rose to his feet in complete anger, to the point Peter could see the anger in his eyes. Peter closed his eyes and waited for what came next, which was the Hulk punching him in the stomach and Peter was sent skipping across the arena. Sabine gasped as she saw Peter wasn't going to be able to get up from that and stayed down.

Except Hulk wasn't done with him yet, leaping into the air at high speed, he landed right on top of Peter and started to pound him into the ground. Sabine covered her mouth and grew worried more and more by the second as she didn't know how this was going to end. She had a feeling, but she hoped that something would intervene.

And that's exactly what happened.

Peter's hand sprouted from the ground and caught the Hulk's fist before it could keep pummeling him. But it wasn't Peter who was controlling his armor. Hulk looked confused and shocked as Peter groaned and woke up to see what his suit was doing.

"Huh?" Peter was shocked to see the suit stopped the Hulk.

"Hello, Peter." A familiar feminine voice filled his suit, giving Peter a moment of shock.

"Karen?" Peter was shocked that his AI has been unlocked. "How...?"

"You have activated the suit's systems when your vitals started to drop exponentially," Karen explains as she used his other hand to catch Hulk's other incoming fist. "Would you like to activate the enhanced combat mode now?"

"Yes! Do it!" Peter cried in pain.

Then Peter watched as his suit's interworking systems started to change and he saw a small hologram of his suit appear on his screen. "Enhancing suit durability."

"What does that mean?" Peter questions.

But as he was questioning it, his suit started to morph around him so it was no longer made of just nanotechnology anymore. The suit started to bulk itself out more, making it more based on the armor aspect rather than the suit itself. It is now abandoned its multicolor scheme and now bears a metallic red, with the spider emblem, eye lenses, bracers, and boots being golden. To match Iron Man's armor, the suit bears a blue arc reactor in its chest as well as repulsors on its gauntlets and boots. His lenses also extended to the point that they were expanded from the main suit to protect his eyes.

The endurance of the suit was also enhanced so that the legs could dig into the ground and rise Peter off the ground before raising his palms. Peter was shocked when he heard a hmm he hasn't heard since Titan. His suit then sent out repulsor blasts that shot Hulk backward and sent him tumbling.

Then Peter went and took control as he ran and used the feet repulsers to punch the Hulk in the face before crawling around him. Peter started to cocoon the Hulk up with his webs to keep him still. But that didn't hold him back for long until Peter managed to sucker-punch him while using the thrusters for extra strength and speed. This finally sends Hulk flying across the ground and even manages to keep him down.

Peter started to stand up by himself as his suit legs were embedded into the ground, showing their newfound strength. He then retracted the legs and started to march towards the downed Hulk.

Sabine watched in shock and amazement that his suit managed to save his life and transform. She watched as Peter marched his way toward Hulk so he could end this once and for all. Jabba noticed this and pulled out a remote that started to glow. Sabine looked over and wondered what he was going to do when Jabba hit the button and it charges blue.

Suddenly, Peter felt something jolt throughout his body from his neck where the device was. He then ended up falling over and losing control of his limbs. Dropping to the ground, he was left with electricity flowing through him as he spazzed out on the ground. Hulk then got back up and went for a finisher move as he leaped into the move and went higher than the arena itself.

Sabine had to look away as she didn't want to see what was coming as Peter only happened to open his eyes for the sudden crushing of the Hulk.

In Cloud City, the group crossed the narrow bridge and entered the city. They walk down the lovely Art Deco passageway, rounding several corners and passing many small plazas as they go.

"How's the gas mine?" Han wonders. "Is it paying off for you?"

Lando sighed as he gestured to spring them. "Oh, not as well as I'd like. We're a small outpost and not very self-sufficient. And I've had supply problems of every kind. I've had labor difficulties..." he then catches Han grinning at him. "What's so funny?

"You," Han explains why he's laughing. "Listen to you - you sound like a businessman, a responsible leader. Who'd have thought that, huh?"

Lando rolled his eyes and threw an arm over his shoulder. "You know, seeing you sure brings back a few things."

"Yeah." Han chuckled.

Lando shakes his head. "Yeah. I'm responsible these days. It's the price you pay for being successful."

Han and Lando laugh together, and the group moves on through the corridor. Then they came across a room where they saw someone standing in the middle.

"Is that...?" Quill was starting to notice the similarities.

"Mantis, I have some people here to see you," Lando stated.

"Mantis?" Gamora asks in shock.

Then the figure turned around and then revealed to have been Mantis the whole time. When she saw her fellow Guardians, she race over with a squeal and wrapped herself around her friends.

"Peter! Gamora!" Mantis seemed thrilled to be back with her friends. "It is amazing to see you again!"

"Found her in a pod on my travel here. Offered her a place here until I could find a way to get into contact with you lot." Lando explains what she was doing in Cloud City. "How many of you are there in the Galaxy?"

"You wouldn't believe it," Gamora stated with a scoff.

Then someone came up to Lando and handed him a holo-list of the specific ship that came through the place. "Oh, boy."

"What is it now?" Kanan asks in worry.

"Seems we know where your ship was headed," Lando said in concern and sighed. "They were taken to Tatooine."

Hera and Kanan looked in worry as both of them know the stories, and the Falcon crew looked just as worried. But not for the same reasons as them, because they have visited the desert planet. They know that if they were taken to Tatooine, it was either to be sold into slavery or worse...the tournaments.

Peter then gasped when he opened his eyes, revealing he was inside some sort of cylinder container. He raised his hands and pushed against the glass when he looked over and noticed Sabine was there, caressing the glass.

"Hey, you're okay." Sabine's muffled voice assured him. "You're okay. Just hang in there."

Then there was some beeping and Peter felt the...whatever he was floating in was starting to drain out of the tank. Then the top of it opened and Peter was able to remove the device put it in his mouth to breathe, reminding him of some scuba gear, and crawled out. He gasped and sucked in a large breath of air as he fell to the ground. Realizing he wasn't in his armor, he looked and saw that the device was retracted and still attached to his hip.

"Yeah, that retracted after that big guy pummeled you to the ground," Sabine explains. "Well, after I got close enough. They decided to leave me with you since it was the only way to keep the suit off you."

"Must know that you can be trusted." Peter guessed as he lay on his knees and looked back to the device. "What...what is that?"

"It's a Bacta tank. It healed your wounds, and your powers sped the process quicker than most." Sabine explains to him what was going on. "Yet again, if it were anyone else, they'd be dead."

"Yeah." Peter groaned as Sabine helped him to his feet. Then he actually got a look at what they put her in and sighed. "Wow, I can't believe them."

"Yeah, I know. They stole the armor and threw it in the armory." Sabine sighed and tried to cover herself up the best she could. "Probably the longest I've been without it on."

"Really?" Peter asks in surprise. "It's only been a day or so."

Sabine shrugged and knew he was right on that part. "Okay, this isn't what I'm used to wearing."

"That feels right." Peter agreed as he looked around the room. "Where are we?"

"Seems you got upgraded after giving their most skilled challenger a challenge," Sabine explains as they started to look around. "But...be warned. You're sharing it."

"With who?" Peter wonders as he grabbed some clothes.

Then they heard what sounded like water being pushed around and spun around where they saw a shadow in the darkness, a familiar shadow. Hulk has eased himself into a large steaming bath. Peter looks at him quizzically: Hulk isn't angry, he's relaxed, but he's not turning into Banner. That goes against everything that he has learned and been told about how he works.

"We good?" Peter asks in worry.

Hulk grunts in response.

"It's Hulk in a hot tub," Peter muttered to himself as he looked out the small windows to the long miles of desert, confirming they were brought back to Jabba's castle. "How long have you been like that?"

"Like what?" Hulk asks, seemingly not understanding the question.

"Like...this. Hulk." Peter explains as Sabine helps him to a seat.

"Hulk always Hulk," Hulk responds.

"This guy is an Avenger?" Sabine asks as Peter hands her a blanket to try and cover herself. "I don't see it."

"He's a great hero." Peter defended as he looked over to the Hulk. "Or he was. He even saved my life...during the Battle of New York."

"He did?" Sabine asks and looked over to the Hulk. "Who's Banner?"

"Supposed to be his other half. He has a...split personality of sorts." Peter explains and gestured to himself. "He looks like me, then when he gets angry he would turn into this. Then when he gets calm, he turns back to Banner."

"So, why isn't he turning into Banner?" Sabine wonders.

"That's what I wanna know," Peter stated as he looked at hulk. "How'd you get here?"

"Winning," Hulk stated.

"You mean cheating?" Peter asks sarcastically, pulling his shirt to show off the device. "Were they wearing one of these when you won?" He then scoffed and released the shirt. "How'd you get to this world?"

Hulk shrugged. "Madame Web."

"Madame Web brought you here?" Peter was shocked to hear. "She...she must have split the two of you. Banner remained on Earth, and you were transported here. Given a whole new body and everything."

"So, Madame Web split his personalities into two separate people?" Sabine questions in surprise.

"Must be." Peter took a guess and sighed. "We gotta get out of here." He then got up and started to walk off. "We'll find your armor, get the hell out of here, then Hotwire a shuttle or something."

"What about him?" Sabine asks as she gestured to the Hulk.

"What help is he?" Peter asks with a scoff. "Didn't do much help with me back in that arena."

"And what about these?" Sabine asks and raises her chains. "I am not breaking out of these without help."

Peter walked up and tried to rip the chains, but the device on his neck activated and zapped him. He yipped and grabbed his neck in agony and saw there were still a few precautions they needed to take care of.

"Okay." Peter groaned as he held his neck. "We have a few things to figure out before we can attempt a full-fledged escape."

The Falcon and Ghost landed on the plane Tatooine and the crews were leaving their ships. They started to look around and tried to see if they could get any clues about where they could find their friends. Seems that there wasn't much on the planet so that helped to narrow their search down a bit.

Kanan was looking around the marketplace when he felt a disturbance in the Force. He looked around where he then spotted a figure standing in the middle of a clearing. He wore an old hood and robe with something attached to his belt. Squinting his eyes to get a better look, he couldn't help but feel like he recognized that person.

"Is that...?" Kanan wonders in surprise.

"Kanan." Hera got his attention away. "You find anything?"

Kanan looked back over to the hooded figure only to see nobody there. "Uh, no, just thought I saw something."

"Well, we learned that there was a fight here last night," Quill said as he approached them with Gamora. "Spider-Man and some giant brute were in the arena, both of them managed to survive."

"They were taken to Jabba's palace," Gamora explains and gestured to the location.

"Then let's get going," Kanan stated as he wanted to save them. "We can't leave Peter or Sabine there for long."

What they missed were two small figures that hitched a ride by leaping onto Quill and Gamora's shoulders. They were there to help and were in place of the old man who wished to stay hidden to keep the boy safe.

Back inside the chambers, Peter was sitting down and looked over to see Sabine covering herself the best she could. He sighed as he reached up to try and pry the device off of his neck. But all he did was activate some precautions that ended up zapping him and causing him to let it go in pain.

"Bug-boy sad," Hulk said from the bed.

"Just leave me alone," Peter demanded the big guy as he sighed.

Hulk got off the bed and walked over to him before pushing him. "Bug-boy sad!"

Peter scurried to his feet after that push and grew angry. "I'm not sad, I'm angry!" He then kicked a tray in anger. "I'm trapped here in an arena fighting for my life! My friend is stuck as some slave servant. And I can't do anything!"

"Don't kick stuff!" Hulk demanded as he tossed a ball that Peter dodged.

"You're being a really bad hero!" Peter stated in anger.

"You bad hero!" Hulk replied.

"You know what they call you back home?" Peter asks in anger. "You're the stupidest Avenger!"

"You're Tiny Avenger!" Hulk proclaimed as he tossed a giant shield across the room.

Peter quickly dodged the shield as it was embedded into the wall and he flinched from the noise. "What are you, crazy?!"

Hulk picked up another battle axe. "Yes."

"You know what? Earth hates you." Peter proclaimed in anger.

But then he watched as the Hulk gets sad. He then slammed the axe and walks over to his bed to mope as he took a seat. Peter realizes he went too far and started to feel sorry as he walks over and joins him on the bed.

"I'm sorry I said those things." Peter apologizes in sorrow. "You're not the stupid Avenger. Nobody calls you the stupid Avenger. I...actually defend you a lot, when others call you a monster."

"It's okay," Hulk assured him.

"You just can't go around throwing shields at people. Could have killed me." Peter informed him with a chuckle.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just get so angry all the time." Hulk apologizes. "Hulk always, always angry."

"Yeah, well, it is sort of your thing." Peter shrugged and even bumped his shoulder a little.

Hulk then became a little curious about something that Peter said. "Hulk saved your life?"

Peter nodded to confirm it. "Yeah, you saved me during the Battle of New York." He then recalled the moment in his head. "I was out with my parents. Then we saw Iron Man come flying past. The portal opened..." Sabine became a little curious as she started to listen in on their conversation. "And then the sky broke open. The Chitauri came in and shot my parents. I was stuck there...frozen in fear. One of them came and got ready to shoot me...then you came in." He looked over to the Hulk with a smile. "Then you saved me. I never saw you as a monster, you were always a hero in my book." Hulk grunted as he pats Peter on the back, causing him to wince from the injuries yet to heal. "Ow."

Then all of a sudden, they heard what sounded like metal skidding across the ground. It was coming near the door where they then looked and saw it came from Sabine's armor. Sabine was shocked when she saw her armor was returned and even her blasters. She walked over and slowly picked up her chest plate, wondering if this was some sort of trap. But then they watched as Peter's neck glitched and the device that was attached to it then let go and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Peter wonders as he picked up the device. He walked over and saw Sabine wasn't wasting any time to get her armor back on. "Who did this?"

Then to their shock, BD-22 leaped off of the pile of armor and bleeped and whistled.

"BD-22?" Peter was shocked to see he was there.

"You know this droid?" Sabine asks as she started to put her boots on.

"Yeah, he was in my cell," Peter explains as he leaned down and pet his head. "You stole our armor? By yourself?"

BD-22 then whistled and looked towards the doorway. Standing in the doorway was a skiff guard with a mask on over his head. "Hello, there."

"Who's this?" Sabine asks.

The man then looked over himself and smacked his head. "Of course, nobody would recognize me like this. That was the point." Then a green flow of light emitted from him as the illusion is lifted and unveiled who was underneath: Loki. "Well, are we escaping?"

"Loki!?" Peter asks in shock and anger.

"The guy who tried to destroy your world?" Sabine asks as she eyed Loki.

"I...did do that, once upon a time," Loki confessed with a sheepish look. "But I have been reformed! Took a few beatings from the Hulk, a Valkyrie, and Thanos snapping my neck."

"You're reformed?" Peter asks, not exactly convinced.

Loki then pointed behind them and gestured to the Hulk. "He will vouch for me."

Hulk just sat there and was munching on something that they could swear was screaming. "He helped fight against Ragnarok."

"Ragnarok?" Sabine didn't seem to understand.

"Long mythological story, I'll explain," Peter promises and looked to Loki. "So, you're what, here to help?"

"That's what Madame Web told me." Loki shrugged and gestured to BD. "The droid showed me where the armory was, lead me to the armor, and figured you'd want it."

"How'd you...?" Peter gestured to the mark on his neck.

Loki held up the device that Jabba had with him. "They need better security out there."

"Let's not look the gift horse in the mouth," Peter stated as he activated his suit, watching as it started to form around him. The suit didn't form around him like usual, it actually took a moment due to the bulky look. "Karen, any chance you can help?"

"One moment," Karen says.

"Karen?" Sabine was shocked to hear.

"Oh, right. Karen, meet Sabine. Sabine, meet Karen." Peter introduced the two, gesturing one to the other.

"Pleasure." Karen greeted through the suit. "And it seems that I have a layout and could even plan an escape route if you wish, Peter."

"Let's have a laugh and say I do wanna escape." Peter sarcastically tells his suit. He then looked over to the Hulk and to the exit where Loki, BD, and Sabine were waiting. "You coming with us?"

Hulk sat there and watched them prepare to leave. "Won't stop. But won't help."

Peter sighed and should have figured that would have been his answer. "Fine." He then activated his mask and looked at the route that Karen found them. "Let's get out of here."

The rescue team was currently camping out just outside of Jabba's palace with a few mountains helping keep the distance. They used their binoculars to look closer at the castle and got a look at their security.

"There's no way we're getting in there through the front door," Quill said as he closed his mask. "We need to find an alternative way."

"Or..." a new voice said, causing Quill to jump and shriek.

"Who said that?" Quill asks as he spun and looked around.

"Don't freak out." The voice said, only confusing them more. "Look on your shoulder."

Quill did so and saw a tiny person standing on his shoulder. "Gamora, someone shrunk the kids."

Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne then few behind the mountain and got all of their attention. They were shocked and a little alarmed when they saw the mysterious figures, but then it dawned that they recalled Peter's stories.

"Ant-Man?" Hera guessed.

"Yeh, that's me," Scott confirmed and retracted his mask.

"I saw you guys were looking for Spider-Man. And I watched him fight the Hulk in the arena." Hope explains and gestured to Scott. "We were planning to go in and help them escape ourselves, but then figured to tag along with you."

"So, you guys are Avengers?" Ezra asks as he looked at their suits.

"Uh...unofficially." Scott chuckled.

"Look, we'll sneak in and help break them out. All we need is you guys to be ready to break us out if it goes south." Hope explains the plan. "We can sneak in undetected easily."

"Stealth mission," Scott confirmed and activated his mask, quickly shrinking.

Hope rolled her eyes and activated her own mask. "As stealthy as he can be." She shrank and activated her wings to start flying toward the castle. "Let's go."

Hera ruched up and contacted Chopper. "Chopper, get the Ghost nearby. We might need a quick escape."

Back with the three of them, Loki was typing in a code into a doorway so they could get through. Peter knew Loki would double cross often, but knows if he follows Karen, she'd get them out safely. BD even stuck along and was hanging on Peter's suit shoulder thanks to his magnetic claws on his feet.

"Still think I plan to double cross?" Loki asks as he opened the door. He was about to walk through when a guard came in with an axe raised. "Whoa!"

Sabine how we acted fast and shot the guard and strolled through the doorway. "Come on."

Peter followed Karen's path and answered Loki's question. "Let's just say after what happened in New York, I'm skeptical to learn you've traded sides. You have a history of stabbing people in the back."

Loki had to admit that there was a fair point and sighed. "Fair enough."

Then a dozen other guards came out and tried to take them down. Peter worked fast and his suit transferred into the bulky form again. He leaped and used his thrusters before shooting two webs and yanking on them. Two of the guards were knocked into two different guards and knocked four out at once. Peter then fell down and crashed into another, taking out five of them at once.

Sabine went in and took two blasters and opened fire on the rest of them. Loki saw bigger guards coming and quickly drew a knife and stabbed them in the back before they could realize he was there.

"It's a habit." Loki shrugged and drew his knives back. The two of them fell over and Loki spun his knives. "Glorious."

They then opened another door and entered a giant clearing that led to the doors of Jabba's hanger. The three of them started to walk, feeling all of their problems were literally behind them now. Except that was stopped when serval dozens of armed men and guards came out and aimed their weapons at them. Jabba then laughed as he strolled inside on an anti-gravity chair.

"The mighty Jabba claims that this betrayal will now not go unpunished." The droid translated what he was saying. "For this, you shall be thrown into the belly of the Sarlakk."

"Is that bad?" Loki was curious to know.

"In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested for over a thousand years." The droid translated.

"Well, luckily we don't even live that long." Peter joked and looked at Sabine. "Right?"

"Right," Sabine confirmed.

"Speak for yourselves." Loki scoffed and fixed his clothes. "I'm already a thousand."

"He's a thousand?" Sabine asks Peter.

"I mean, technically he's a God," Peter admitted. "I'll explain later."

"If there is a later," Sabine commented.

"Now, you're not giving up on us, are ya?" Scott said, shocking both of them.

Hope then started to open fire and take a few that were closer to their allies. They were all confused and fired to fight back against the insects, but couldn't locate them. Scott jumped and grew large as he punched one in the face and shrank down.

Hope grew large and shot one of the guards and kicked another. Shrinking down, she then yanked one over her shoulder and tossed him into another guard. She then grew larger and saw the three of them.

"Loki?" Hope asks in shock.

"Reformed!" Loki said as he helped by tossing a dagger into one of them. "Shall we?"

Peter and Sabine then got into it and the five of them started to fight back. Peter shot webs everywhere to blind or bind the guards as Hope and Scott opened fire to shoot them down.

One of the guards however managed to get lucky and shot Hope in her left blaster. "Gah!"

Scott worked fast and used a Pym particle to shrink the guard down and stepped on him. Then they all looked over towards Jabba who was stuck there.

"What do we do about him?" Scott wonders.

Jabba how we just laughed and hit a button on his chair. Peter's senses went off and he worried about exactly what that button did. Then they heard a gigantic door start to raise and they saw something coming out.

"Uh...what's that?" Peter asks in worry, watching as BD whimpers and hides.

"A Rancor," Sabine said in worry.

Standing tall, taller than all of them, with their long arms, immense jaws, and armored hides that could withstand blaster fire, they were formidable predators. It started to march and snarl toward them, all slowly. It then started to swing its arm and they were all getting ready for a fight.

But it seemed a bit too late when suddenly the Rancor was dragged backward and thrown around. They were all wondering who or how when they saw the figure standing above the fallen Rancor.

The Incredible Hulk let out a giant roar and turned to face them with an angered face. Jabba laughed, feeling he was on his side but the others recognized he was eyeing the slug himself. Hulk then looked around before eying the Rancor getting up, the five heroes, and the ceiling.

"HULK!" Hulk raised his hands in the shape of fists. "SMAAAAAASH!"

Hulk then threw his fists into the ground at full force and caused the ground to shake. The entire group was trying to hold their own ground when the ceiling was starting to collapse in on them.

"I believe that's Hulk for... run!" Scott commented. "Also, when'd Hulk get here?!"

"Talk later, run now!" Sabine stated as they all ran for the exit.

Jabba screamed in panic and even tried to slither away, but a portion of the roof came crashing and crushed him. The Rancor was crawling back and trying to stop them when the Hulk came in and punched it in the face, leaping then yanking its head to drag him to the ground.

Loki opened the door for them and they all ran for it. The outside started a landslide and they all worried about where they were going to go. Dozens of the guards started to come back and got ready to shoot them. Then lights came in and they looked to see a dust cloud forming as the Ghost came flying in.

Just then, the doors opened up and Zeb started to open fire on the guards. "Come on!"

Shuri joined him by his side and used her gauntlets to shoot them with vibration blasts. Scott and Hope shrank down and started to help clear a path for them when the Falcon came flying in and shot them down. Quill was in the gunner seat from below and was having the time of his life.

"Whoo!" Quill shouted as he spun around and opened fire.

Peter quickly grabbed Sabine and leaped up, using his thrusters, to reach the Ghost. Looking back, he saw Loki was still fighting back and the Rancor was still fighting the Hulk.

"Loki! Come on." Peter called out to the God of Mischief.

Loki looked up and saw his ride was leaving. He quickly held a hand up as Peter shot a web to yank him. Loki was dragged to the ship as Zeb fought the incoming hunters.

Scott and Hope then flew in and they closed the doors. Hulk threw the Rancor and charged his way out before thunder clapping and sending them flying. Hulk let out a roar and calmed down when he looked at the ships. He smiled and saw Peter looking through the gunner seat. The two saw the silent agreement as they flew off and left the Hulk.

Hulk smiled and saw he made the right call and looked to the hunter's left standing. "Your boss is dead. Any nominations?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Peter and Sabine were sitting on the seats around the table as there were holograms of Quill and T'Challa and Shuri were in the Ghost. They were all happy to see their friends were back and where they belonged.

"Thanks for saving us back there," Peter tells the Avengers and Guardians.

"Yeah." Sabine sighed as she held her helmet. Happy to have it back. "We owe you guys one."

"Let's call it even for bringing us back together," Gamora tells them and showed Mantis.

"Hi, Spider-Man." Mantis greeted.

"Mantis?" Peter was happy to see all but one of the Guardians were back. "Great to see you."

"If you need us, we'll be here," Quill said as they then hung up.

"Where can we drop you guys off?" Hera asks Hope and Scott.

"Oh, back to town," Scott said.

"Yeah, we've got a mutual arrangement with this man," Hope explains and looked at her broken stinger. "Gotta see if I can fix this."

"Look, guys, I'm sorry about not checking the diagnostic." Zeb tells Peter, Hera, and Sabine.

"Yeah, we're all sorry." Ezra agreed and looked at Chopper. "Right, Chopper?"

Chopper grunted and waved one of his claw hands around.

"Anyway, we'll fix the Phantom," Ezra stated.

"Don't even worry about it," Zeb assured them.

Peter didn't seem convinced. "Worried? Why would we be worried?"

Sabine decided to play along and hum. "Maybe because the last time they fixed it, we nearly wound up as lunch? Or maybe because of that, we also almost became slaves to the Hutts? Or maybe because you had to fight in an arena to keep us alive?"

"Oh, yeah." Peter kept going as he and Sabine got up. "That's why."

Sabine and Peter strolled down the halls Sabine reached her door and opened it. She then stopped and sighed before looking over to Peter.

"Pete?" Sabine called out as he looked over. "Thanks for what you did back there."

"All I did was try to make sure you got out alive." Peter shrugged and leaned on the doorway. "Sorry for what they had you wearing."

"It was worth it to escape," Sabine assured him before getting angry. "But if you tell anyone, I'll rip your arms off like a Wookie."

Peter chuckled and nodded his head. "Don't worry. I won't tell."

Sabine smiled. "Good." Then she punched his shoulder. "And never do what you did back there again!"

Peter chuckled and rubbed his shoulder. "Agreed."

Sabine then looked around and leaned to peck his cheek. "Good."

Peter was a little confused when the doors then closed and Sabine sighed on her side and placed her helmet down. She thought about the escape and how willing Peter went to fight the Hulk to save her life from slavery as a gladiator. Of course, she was forced to wear that stupid outfit, but he still managed to save them. She couldn't help but blush and smile when she was thinking of the boy. Thinking of how well he fought and never backed down, but also refused to fight a friend.

He would have made quite the Mandalorian.

Peter was on the other end of the doorway and smiled as BD chirped on his shoulder.

"What?" Peter scoffed. "No, she doesn't like me."

"Are you sure?" Karen asks.

"Karen, no siding with the BD," Peter demanded his AI.

"Well..." Peter looked to see Loki. "That was eventful."

"So, what are you going to do?" Peter was curious to know.

Loki sighed and leaned on the wall. "I don't know. Mind if I stuck around with you for a while? Just until I find my own place in this galaxy?"

"Be my guest." Peter shrugged.

Loki nodded and walked down the hall. "Oh, and I agree with both of them." Peter was confused by that and started to understand he was referring to BD and Karen. "I think that girl has a thing for you."

"Like you know anything about girls." Peter scoffed and walked off.

Peter however didn't know Loki had all kinds of information when it came to both boys and girls. But that wouldn't consider how Peter feels, thinking nobody's capable of loving him. At least like that. There was no way that Sabine had a thing for him. Out of all people, there was no way that super-heroic Mandalorian warrior girl had a thing for Peter Parker.

Right?

Back on Tatooine with the Hulk, he was walking through the halls of the recently deceased Jabba's palace. He walked into his throne room and walked up to the green Twi'lek kept on a chain. He then grabbed and crushed the chain, setting her free. He grunted and gestured to the door, causing the girl to get up and run for it.

Hulk smiled with a gigantic grin as he marched up and took his place on the throne. He sat there and got a feeling for the chair and placed both his arms on the chair's arms and laid back with a sigh.

This was now Hulk's Palace.
