Chapter 2: Glimmers of Hope

The three Avengers burst into Tony's lab where Captain Marvel stood, arms crossed with a concerned look on her face.

"Thank God you're here" Tony gasped, out of breath from running down 12 flights of stairs. He turned to Banner, who was standing stiff beside her.

"Bruce, who is this woman, and is she single" Tony whispered.

"I'm Carol Danvers, and yes, I am. Unfortunately for you, you don't spark my interest." Captain Marvel said cooly, "And I don't know why you assumed I couldn't hear you when you're standing literally 10 feet away from me."

"Damn, she and Natasha are going to get along great" Cap muttered into Tony's ear.

"First off language Steve, and second we are here for a reason, I need you," Tony said pointing at Captain Marvel, "to get back everyone in the soul stone, most importantly Peter Parker.

"I really don't mean to be a naysayer, but we don't even know where Thanos is, much less how to stop him." Bruce voiced.

Tony sighed, "I didn't think about that, we need someway to find him-" his voice broke "-or we'll never get Peter back."

"There might be someone who can find him, but we need to get them on our side first." Bruce said. "We need to call Nebula and Rocket."

The five stepped back into the conference room, everyone could tell Tony was getting more anxious by the minute. Bruce brought up the call screen.

"Don't get too excited, this may not work" Bruce stated.

"It has too Bruce, it has too. I need Peter back" Tony reasoned.

"Don't forget Bucky" Steve added.

"STEVE SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH BUCKY IS A GROWN MAN, PETER IS A CHILD" Tony yelled, "He's stuck in that place with no one else, he has no one."

There was silence, which was extremely rare among the Avengers. It blanketed the room, smothering the occupants with the reality of the stakes they were facing. They had one more shot to beat Thanos and save their friends lives. If they failed, there would be no one left to save the people they care about. A tear ran down Tony's face at the realization, he needed to save Peter. The kid was only 15. He didn't deserve to die. Peter had his whole life ahead of him: girlfriends, prom, graduation, kids, and just about everything he could think of. Why did it have to be Peter? Tony wished he could reverse time and trade places with him, but it was too late. He couldn't focus on the past, only the future; saving Peter. (A/N this is what happens when you ask your friend for iron dad.)

Someone cleared their throat. No one had noticed that Rocket had slunk into the room, quickly followed by Nebula.

"I knew it would work Bruce" Tony exclaimed wiping the tears from his eyes. He turned to Rocket and Nebula, "How did you get here so fast?"

"We drive a spaceship." Nebula said curtly. "Why did you call us here?"

"We need someone to go after Thanos and we can't do it alone. We need someone who can find Thanos, and we help bring Peter back." Tony said talking quickly

"And why" Nebula questioned "should we help you?"

"Because" Tony answered, "we can get back your sister"
