"This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman! We are under assault. I repeat we are under assault. The engines are dead, and life support is failing! Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, we have very few soldiers here! This is not a warcraft, I repeat, this is not a warcraft!"

Inside the ship, Ebony Maw walks among the bodies of dead Asgardian and fighters. He steps over them as he speaks with no mind as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.

"Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan." Ebony monologues as he strolled over the dead bodies. "You may think this is suffering. No... It is salvation. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos."

Loki stood in the middle of all of the carnage as the day came that he feared the most.

The mad Titan himself was staring out of the gaping hole of the ship he had made. "I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right... yet to fail, nonetheless." He then grabs Thor by the head and kept walking toward Loki. "It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. But I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here." Thanos holds up his hand to reveal the Gauntlet, which already hosts the Power Stone. "Or should I say... I AM."

Thor exhaustedly spitting blood from his mouth. "You talk too much."

"The Tesseract." Thanos didn't pay Thor any mind. "Or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference."

Loki only smiled as he heard his demands. "Oh, I do. Kill away!"

Thanos only smiles as he leans over and sets the gauntlet on Thor's temple. The purple stone glows brightly as Thor lets out ear-piercing screams of pain.

Loki cringed and looked away from his brother's pain and just left it for a few seconds before he gave in. "ALRIGHT, STOP!"

Thanos moved the stone away from Thor's head and allowed him to breathe. "We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard."

Lokiglances at thor like he knows something he doesn't. He then lifts his right hand into the air and the Tesseract reveals itself.

Thor couldn't help but scoff. "You really are the worst, brother."

Loki was holding the Tesseract out to Thanos and advancing. "I assure you, brother, the Sun will shine on us again."

"Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian." Thanos proclaimed.

"Well, for one thing: I'm not Asgardian." Loki reminded him. "And for another... We have a Hulk."

Loki then quickly tackles Thor out of the way as the Incredible Hulk emerges and tackles Thanos like it was nothing. Punches are exchanged and Thanos is forced into the wall of the ship. Cull was able to stand in when Maw stops Cull from interfering.

"Let him have his fun," Maw tells him.

Thanos waits and sees an opening when he is shoved against the wall. In three short moves, punching his throat and chest, he defeats Hulk and dumps him to the ground. Thor tries to interfere but Maw binds him with metal he shoved at the man.

Heimdall however wasn't done as he groaned our one last request. "All fathers... let the dark magic flow through me one last... time."

Heimdall then finally manages to summons the Bifeost, which carries Hulk away.

Thanos seemed to be upset by this as he walks over and picks up a spear on his way. "That was a mistake."

"NO!" Thor cried in pain, seeing another friend of his die. "You're going to die for that!"

Maw then shoved some metal over his mouth to keep him silent. "Shhhh." Then he went over toward Thanos and kneeled. Holding the Tesseract, on one knee. "My humble personage... bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones. The universe lies within your grasp."

Thanos crushed the cube, revealing the Space Stone. He then blows the rest of it away and places the second stone on the gauntlet. He felt the energy surge through him and needed a second to get used to it.

"There are two more Stones on Earth," Thanos tells his children. "Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan."

"Father, we will not fail you."

Loki then emerges from a separate section of the ship. "If I might, interject..." he quickly got everyone's attention. "If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena."

"If you consider failure experience..." Thanos mocked him.

"I consider experience, experience," Loki stated as he started to make his way toward Thanos. "Almighty Thanos. I, Loki, of Asgard, Son of Odin... do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity."

Thor squints and notices a dagger in Loki's hand behind his back. He was starting to worry about what his brother was planning when Loki attempts to stab Thanos but fails. He managed to use the power of the stone to stop Loki mid-swing.

Thanos smiled as he finally had a good reason to finally do this. "Undying... You should choose your words more carefully."

Thanos then grabs Loki and lifts him off the ground by his neck. He begins to tighten his hold around Loki's neck. He makes eye contact with Thor before he increases the force on his neck.

Loki knew there was no way out and this was the last stand of Loki. "You... will never be... a god."

Thanos just smiles as he then crushed Loki's neck, with no effort. Thor let out muffled cries as he watched his brother fall lifelessly on the ground.

"No resurrections this time," Thanos promises, using turn power stone to destroy the rest and let the ship before escaping.

Thor escaped his binds as he crawled over and huddled his brother close. Waiting for the inevitable to come of the entire ship explosion consumed both of them.

But then a miracle happened.

Loki gasped and opened his eyes. He sat up and was looking to see he was laying against water, yet he wasn't soaking.

"What?" Loki asks in shock as he stood up. "Huh. I escaped. I love it when I do that."

"Well, not exactly." A familiar voice echoed.

Loki spun around the area and drew some knives. "Who is there?" He then pointed the knife out and aimed it around. "Show yourself!"

Then Madame Web appears on a throne of webbing and a smile. "No need to be hasty, Loki Laufyson. I was gonna do it eventually."

"Who are you?" Loki asks her.

"I am Madame Web. Of the Multiverse." Madame Web decided to have some fun with him, recalling the Loki from universe Earth-616. "And I am here to burden you with a glorious purpose."

A while after Peter Quill and Gamora left the group and were now scouring the galaxy with a crew, they were still searching for their friends. Whilst that was going on, they were also taking care of searching the outer rim for any of the other Avengers thanks to Peter's descriptions. Not to mention with their communicators, they can make holographic projections of everyone.

"We've just left Dantooine, working on a smuggling case," Gamora informed Peter. "It's not the best job, but it sticks it to the Empire."

"Gamora, we're all outlaws," Peter assured her he didn't care much about the laws of this dimension. Most of them were made by power-hungry tyrants as it is. "You find anything?"

"Nothing of interest," Quill said with a sigh. "No Avengers that match your description. But I did learn that people call us "Outsiders." Gotta say it's pretty catchy."

Peter rolled his eyes and looked at the Black Panther. "Your Majesties?"

"We have scoured the entire world. We can't find any trace of any Avengers or anyone from our universe." Shuri informed the boy. "We are the only one's here."

"As of now." T'Challa looked on the bright side. "I am certain the others are working on traveling the galaxy themselves. They'll eventually find their way here at some point."

"Right. Okay." Peter sighed as he laid back. He knew he was making quick progress, considering he found four of them in the past short weeks. But that was four out of...he wasn't actually sure how many of them there were. "Well, this channel is always open. So just send the word if you find even some sort of rumor of sorts."

"We shall," T'Challa confirmed as he then closed the channel and vanished.

"See ya, kid," Quill said as he closed the channel.

Peter leaned back and sat down on the bench as he sat alone on the ship. Ezra, Sabine, and Hera were currently away on a mission that came from an informant known as Fulcrum. They knew nothing about the character and Hera kept saying that it was a need to know. Not something that Peter liked to hear, as the last need-to-know thing he was never told, he ended up ruining a mission for the FBI between the buyers and Vulture.

And that's when he felt the ship shake and heard the Phantom coming into park. Seems that they were back.

The doorway opened up and Peter looked over to see it was Sabine who came stumbling in with a sigh. She placed her helmet on the table and sighed as she sat down next to Peter.

"So..." Peter acted cheerful. "How'd it go?"

Sabine seemed to pick up on his sarcastic tone and played along. "Oh, you know, went for a fly, got shot at, almost died."

"So, a usual Thursday?" Peter jokingly told her. "Or whatever weeks are."

Sabine chuckled as Hera came down from the latter, followed by Ezra. Kanan and Zeb walked over to greet them, giving Peter the room while he was on call.

"Everyone okay?" Kanan asks.

"We're fine, but I scrapped the Phantom's underbelly," Hera admitted with a shrug.

Kanan was shocked to hear that, "You?"

"It was unavoidable." Hera sighed in defeat, but then smiled and pointed to Kanan. "Once your plan went south."

"Ah, there we go." Kanan seemed to have expected that as Zeb and Ezra tried to sneak away. "I knew there had to be a way to make this my fault."

"And you were right, dear," Hera stated, quickly turning towards the escaping members. "Zeb, I'll need the Phantom ready to pick up supplies from Fulcrum. Adjust the steering and run a diagnostic. Chopper and Ezra will help you fix any problems you find."

Zeb scoffed when he heard that. "Really? Have you met them?"

Ezra hit and shoved the Lassant as he and Zeb started to make their way upward. "And I'm leaving soon, so get to it!"

Then Kanan and Hera made their way to the cockpit of the ship, leaving Peter and Sabine together. Seems that neither has been having a good day so far.

"So, what's up with you?" Peter was curious to know what was wrong. "You seem...agitated about something."

"Just this whole blindly trusting this Fulcrum character," Sabine explains and laid back. "You ever had to blindly trust someone and hope for the best?"

Peter thought about it and could only recall one time. "Only this one time... against Thanos. On Titan. And that person was Quill."

Sabine raised a brow, recalling exactly what Peter said happened during Titan. "Really?"

"Hey, you asked." Peter shrugged, knowing it wasn't the best example.

Sabine then sighed and got up. "I'm gonna have a word with Hera."

"Glad I could help," Peter said rhetorically as Sabine walked away.

Peter sighed and laid his head against the table, fiddling with the communicator for the other Avengers. He couldn't help but think back to his world, wondering how everyone was doing. How Tony was feeling after Titan. Was he still there? Did he make his way back to Earth? Was he even alive?

Then all of a sudden, he heard fumbling from the latter to the Phantom, which he then watched as Chopper, who was being rode on by Ezra, and chased by Zeb who came running past. He then watched as Hera and Sabine came up to him and looked up at the Phantom.

"Did they finish up there?" Hera asks Peter.

"I would guess, but I'd double-check," Peter stated, having blacked out and not sure how long he was in his own head. He then pointed back down the hall. "They went that way."

Hera sighed and walked off to find out if they did their tasks. Sabine stayed back and looked at Peter. "I'm gonna go with Hera, see if I can figure out what's going on with this Fulcrum guy."

"You sure that's a good idea?" Peter asks her. "I mean, if he's in the dark, he's in the dark for a reason."

"When was the last time you followed what you were told?" Sabine asks Peter and crossed her arms.

Peter thought about it and recalled the last time. "Probably when Tony said to hand the suit over. After I destroyed a ferry." Then he noticed how confused sabine was and groaned. "Basically, it's a ship that can only move on water. "What I'm saying is I needed to learn a few lines could be crossed. But other lines are there for a reason."

"That might work for you, Pete." Sabine understood what he was saying. "But I've already been kept in the dark, and I don't want to repeat it."

They then heard the clanking of metal down the hall and Peter winced, thinking of being confined on the ship with those two on the loose. "You mind one more tagalong?" He then went to begging a little too quickly. "Please don't leave me on this ship with these two unsupervised."

Sabine looked down the hall and knew Peter was right that they could be a handful, and he wasn't exactly used to a large group like them quite yet. Living as an only child and having no parents don't exactly help. She then gestured to the latter and basically told him to board.

Meanwhile, two figures were landing with their ship at the rendezvous point, which was an old Grand Army of the Republic asteroid base. Once the ship landed, the two figures emerged from the ship and were revealed to be Ahsoka and James Barnes.

"Alright, let's get these crates unloaded," Ahsoka tells Bucky as she pushed a button and Bucky watched her hover the crate away. "Still impressed?"

"Hey, this might be causal tech for you, but it's still impressive to me," Bucky stated as he slid his rifle over his shoulder and got to work. "So, who is this Spector contact of yours?"

"Just another section of the Phoenix Squadron, helping us cause trouble for the Empire." Ahsoka shrugged as she walked over and grabbed another crate. "Nothing really unique about them."

Bucky was listening when he looked around at the abandoned base. He started to get a bit of a flashback to his time back in the war. How all of his fightings ended up with him being turned against the people he fought aside for years. Ahsoka noticed he seemed to be flashing back and walked up aside to show him some support.

"Sorry." Bucky managed to slip free of his trance and rubbed his head. "Might not have been my war, but I can still..."

"Feel the battle?" Ahsoka asked, following what he was saying. "Yeah, I can't say I don't understand."

"Should make sure your contact is on their way," Bucky stated as he walked over towards the shuttle.

"That's a good idea." Ahsoka agreed as she pulled her small communicator.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Back inside the Phantom, Hera didn't seem to have anything against Peter joining the two as they separated from the Ghost. Making their way through the air and starting their flight path to the rendezvous.

"So, who exactly is this Fulcrum?" Sabine asked as she stayed near Hera. "Is he another smuggler like Vizago and Lando? Why all of the secrecy?"

"Well, it's no secret that we're fighting against the Empire." Hera shrugged as she fiddled with a few controls. "We need all the allies that we can get."

"How do you find a way of answering questions without giving any answers?" Sabine asks her.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" Hera asked jokingly.

"Phantom, this is Fulcrum." A voice came through on their communications. "Come in."

"This is Specter-2, Fulcrum." Hera made contact.

"Why don't I talk to him?" Sabine tried to intervene.

"Don't you dare." Hera warned her away from that.

"Already at the rendezvous, Specter-2. Supplies are unloaded and ready. Should I wait?"

Sabine then jumped in and tapped the comms. "Yeah, stick around. Specter-2 and I would love to talk to you."

"Specter-2, what's the problem?" Ahsoka asks.

"No problem, Fulcrum. Specter-5 and 7 decided to help with the supply run." Hera explains and sternly looked down on Sabine.

"Understood. Fulcrum out." Then it seems that the connection was closed.

"You know. An outburst like that is not appreciated." Hera informed Sabine.

"Neither is all of this secrecy," Sabine replied and crossed her arms.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

By the time the Phantom came in for a landing, they saw that there was nobody else around and gave the impression that "he" left. Ahsoka and Bucky have indeed left their supplies for them to arrive and take before they then took off. The Phantom came down and landed in the middle of an opening where Ahsoka and Bucky previously landed.

"So, where is this mystery man?" Sabine wonders as she looks around.

"I don't know, maybe he didn't appreciate your attitude," Hera stated sarcastically. "I know that I didn't."

They then started to walk towards a few crates that were nearby and Peter couldn't help but feel something was off. As he was starting to look around to try and focus his senses, he wondered what could possibly be here that sets his senses off. Deciding to just ignore it, he walked over and activated one of the crates so it would hover and he could drag it over.

But as he was moving the crate over, he suddenly stopped and felt his spider senses go off. He froze and felt something was wrong. He could hear the muffled voices of Hera and Sabine talking as he looked around. He heard what sounded like scraping and spun around to notice there was a missing crate.

"Faith that there is a long-term plan that's bigger than you or me, bigger than Lothal. Bigger than the entire Outer Rim." Hera stated to Sabine as Peter walked over and kneeled to the crates. "We- Peter, what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure," Peter said as he eyed the scratch marks on the ground. He then quickly activate his suit and used his suit's systems to scan the markings. "But something was just here."

"There were definitely more crates." Hera took notice of this.

"Seems someone dragged them away." Peter took notice.

"Maybe he's still here." Sabine took a guess.

"Who?" Hera wonders.

"Fulcrum." Sabine guesses.

"No." Hera denied that as it didn't add up.

"Well, who else knows about this place?" Sabine wonders as Peter followed the scratches.

"Not sure, this base was abandoned years ago, after the Clone Wars," Hera explains to them and trying to make sense of it all. "Besides, why drag them? Why not use the anti-grav?"

Then a meteorite came around and blocked off the light from the Star for a moment. It face them with a bit of darkness for a good second before the light quickly returned.

"Whoa, sunrise comes along fast in these parts." Sabine jokes.

Peter made it to the inside of the base and found a completely destroyed shuttle, followed by his switching to night vision. "Uh...I have a feeling something else comes along fast." He then came across the crates and quickly shot out a web. "Found the crates."

Peter then pulled the crates out into the light as they started to enter the facility a little. "Someone was eager to get to what was inside."

"Too eager to open the hatch and take it?" Hera questions. "Who would-"

That's when they started to hear a chittering creature from within the base. They started to back away and make it into the light.

"That's comforting," Sabine commented in worry. "You don't happen to know why this base was abandoned?"

Then they heard hissing that sounded like an earth cat to Peter but sounded like something else demonic.

"I'm starting to have my suspicions," Hera commented in worry.

"Oh, man," Peter stated as he tried to scan for life forms in the dark. "If I haven't seen The Conjuring, I wouldn't be nearly as frightened right now."

Sabine and Hera look at Peter with confusion, due to their not being familiar with the movie. It took Peter a moment to figure it out and recalled that none of them know this film.

Peter sighed and rubbed his head. "Right, I keep forgetting that I'm in a different universe that no one has ever heard of The Conjuring. Don't you guys even have horror movies?"

They just continued to back away when suddenly one of the creatures came into view. What they saw were ferocious silicon-based species that attacked their prey with sharp teeth and claws and crawled out.

Peter quickly shot a few webs to keep them in the dark and they backed away into the light further. They then watched as they scurried back into the darkness and left them alone.

"Huh, must be some sort of nocturnal creature." Peter guessed as he retracted his mask. Then he saw that neither of them understood the meaning of that word. "Means that they don't like the light."

"Okay, but you see that?" Sabine asks as she gestured to a gigantic meteorite. "That asteroid will block the light for quite a while."

"How long?" Hera questions.

"I don't know, long enough for us to become lunch!" Sabine cried in terror.

"Luckily we weren't planning on staying," Hera stated as they gesture to the crates. "Let's go."

They then started to continue loading the shuttle, none of them aware of the leakage underneath the ship. They just went on and continued to load up the ship as Peter kept looking up at the meteorites, worried about smaller ones giving the creatures time to attack.

"Last one," Sabine said with a sigh.

"Alright, let's get out of here." Peter was happy to see they didn't have any other problems.

Hera complied as she took the pilot seat and got ready for takeoff. But when she started the shuttle, they were getting alerts from the systems and she started to become worried.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Hera cried in worry when she saw the empty tank. "We had nearly a full tank when we landed. Now we're out of fuel?"

Peter was shocked (but not surprised) when he heard that. "What? Out of fuel?! Didn't Zeb, Ezra, and Chopper run a diagnostic-" he then sighed as he knew he should have checked the diagnostics. "Of course... I gotta make a call."

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Back on the Ghost, Ezra was rising Chopper around and knocking him with a wrench. He was enjoying getting some payback for what happened when they were fixing the Phantom. Zeb was in the kitchen making himself something to eat when he came rolling inside.

"Hera is not here to save you now!" Ezra cheered as he continued to hit him.

But then Chopper spun his head around and smacked Ezra into Zeb's food. Zeb now become irritated and grabbed the boy, kidding the droid back and getting ready to pummel him.

But Peter's voice luckily came just in time when he filled their comms. "Spectre-7 to Spectre-4. Come in. Specter-7 to Specter-4. Come in!"

Zeb sighed and dropped the boy. "Go ahead, Specter-7."

"You did run a full diagnostic on the Phantom, right?" Peter asks his crewmates.

"Of course." Zeb seemed a little offended by that.

"And you checked the results?" Peter asks them. "Please tell me that you guys did."

Zeb, Ezra, and Chopper immediately became silent and freaked out. They then ran through the ship to the docking port so they could check the results. That's when they learned that there was indeed a problem when they saw a fuel leak was a problem.

Zeb scratched his head and pulled his comm back out. "Uh, Spectre-7, there might be a small problem with the fuel line."

"Small Problem? SMALL PROBLEM?!" Peter cried in worry, causing Zeb to move the comm away due to the volume. "Uh, guys, we have an Alien situation on our hands. And yes! I know you guys are not familiar with that movie. But, seriously, we have a situation!"

"Understood," Zeb said and sighed. "Hang tight, we'll be there soon."

Then he hung up as Ezra was still a bit confused by what he meant. "Who's the alien in this scenario?"

"I have no idea," Zeb admitted, not understanding the reference either.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Peter sighed and rubbed his head and knew he should double-check any job those two do together. Especially with Chopper in the mix, since it seems impossible to get the three of them to work together.

"And this is why I'm glad to be an only child." Peter sighed to himself.

Sabine was looking up at the asteroid in worry. "No way they get here before that asteroid blocks the Star and-" Then they hear the screeching from within the base, making them guess they were waiting for the darkness. "I guess we could hole up in the Phantom."

"Judging by the torn-up shuttle in there, locking ourselves in the Phantom won't protect us." Hera took a wild guess. "Could get grim."

"Well, I'll take grim right now," Sabine stated as she walked towards something.

Peter sighed as he exited the Phantom and gestured back inside. "Well, I activated the beacon. They'll be able to find us whenever they arrive. And if we're lucky, maybe some passing ships will notice it." Then he noticed Sabine already walked off and was looking over an old crate. "What's that?"

"Thought I recognized these markings," Sabine said as she flipped a switch and the crate hummed to life. "Say hello to one of my oldest and most explosive friends. Rhydonium."

"This is not what I mean when I say you need more friends." Peter quipped and crossed his arms. "What's the plan?"

"Well, since we don't know how many of those creatures are in there, we can set up groups of canisters and create explosions that take them out a wave at a time."

"How do you plan on getting the creatures close enough to the explosives to be effective?" Hera questions.

"We're gonna need bait." Sabine took this into account.

"And I have a bad feeling of what the bait is," Peter said in worry. "It's us, isn't it?"

"Point for the Spider-Man," Sabine confirmed his worry.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

It took the group some time to set things up, putting all of the crates into a position where they would be useful. Peter's super strength and speed helped a big part in setting the canisters up quicker. They were done with a few moments to spare before the darkness of the asteroid came over them. When the darkness was starting to come in, they started to notice the creatures starting to come out of the base.

"Wave 1 coming in!" Hera warned as they ran into position, taking it just a few feet away from the closest bombs to the base.

Peter peaked over and took in the dozens of creatures that were coming as wave 1. "Woah, that's a lot."

Hera and Sabine then started to open fire on them and shot the canisters. The explosion then sent a few of them flying, but then revealed there were a dozen more of them coming out.

"Fall back." Hera cried as they started to retreat further back.

As they ran, Peter used his mechanical arms to run whilst he shot the creatures with his webbing to keep them back. He couldn't shoot the canisters with his webbing, but he could keel back the creatures from attacking. But as they kept going wave after wave, canister after canister, it seemed more and more kept coming.

"Wave five?" Peter asks in shock.

"We didn't have a plan for wave five." Hera was sorry to say.

"Phantom?" Sabine gestured to the ship.

"Not inside. Go up." Hera tells them.

Peter grabbed the both from behind and wrapped his hands around their hips. "Hold on."

They then held their friend as Peter leaped them into the air and landed on top of the Phantom to give them some room. They kept opening fire and were starting to become surrounded. Then they opened fire again and tried to take them down.

"We're surrounded!" Sabine cried in worry, grabbing one of them and tossing him.

"Tell me something I don't know!" Hera cried as she kept opening fire.

"We're gonna die!" Sabine proclaimed.

"Again!" Hera didn't see that as news.

But then they watched as there was sudden interference in a dozen blaster fire and they looked to see sudden lights coming down and scaring the creatures. Except they were expecting to see the Ghost, but then they saw that it was some sort of different ship.

What they saw was a large trapezium-shaped starship with two wings on either side. They were confused about who this was and was confused when the doors then opened and Peter's senses went off and he realized they weren't friendlies.

"Guys, watch out!" Peter warned them a little too late.

Sabine was the first to get shot with a stunning setting, causing a blue ring to fly and shoot the Mandalorian down. Peter, no idea what it was doing, quickly leaped ahead of Hera and took the shot for her. He and Sabine were rendered unconscious and Hera quickly dropped down to get out of their range of fire and huddled against the ship. She was wondering who these people were, then figured that they picked up on Peter's signal and came to "help". She sneaked off into the darkness to keep them out of her line of sight to stay safe.

"Where'd the Twi'lek go?" One of them asks as they started to take the unconscious forms of her teammates.

"Who cares? We have the Mandalorian and this guy. These two will fetch a high price. You see how they fought?"

Hera was shocked to hear this and was starting to worry about what was going to happen to her teammates. But she couldn't do much as it seemed that they were outnumbered by professionals. She just needed to wait it out and hope the others arrived soon.

Then she heard the ship take off and the asteroid left, giving her the light she needed to stay alive. She was able to leave her hiding spot and looked out to see if she could see what direction the ship was headed. But she came short of nothing.

The Ghost however flew into view, and Hera knew she was going to get them back. Even if she needed to scour the universe to get them back.

"I died?" Loki was shocked to hear.

"You're surprised?" Madame Web asked with a raised brow. "Your neck was snapped. Well, crushed."

Loki sighed and spun around the area. "So, what is this? Valhalla? Or am I in Hel?"

"You're in neither. In the last moments of your life, I retrieved you from the timeline." Madame Web explains with a sigh. "I've gotta get out of the habit. Keep this up, I might merge the two universes. Though, it wouldn't be the worst thing."

"What?" Loki was getting lost on all accounts.

"You're basically a test run if I can do this." Madame Web explains and leaned on her chair. "Seems all I have to do is bend the rules with anyone around the Infinity Stones. I can't counteract the stones themselves, but I can bend the rules of both space and time, but not soul, reality, or mind. I can't send you back, Loki. But...I can send you somewhere else."

"And where would that be?" Loki wonders.
