Chapter 5

Lily's POV

Lily: We can find her right? I thought you said you had a security camera in every room, Mr Stark.

Tony: We do.

We all rush to the security room.

Tony: Ok let me pull up the footage in the nursery room. Ok there we go.

We see Gamora place Astra down to play and she leaves the room.

Lily: There!

We see Vision appear in the room and pick up Astra. We disappears again.

Wanda: It's Vision...

Gamora: We need to get her back.

Nebula: Thanos will be smart about this. He obviously knows we are coming for her.

Cap: Ok so what's the plan? We don't even know where they're hiding.

Peter: Wait look! Zoom in where Vision was standing.

We zoom in and see a piece of paper lying in the corner.

Lily: Come on. Let's go check it out.

We head to the nursery room and I pick up the note.

Lily: Coordinates.

Banner: Its here on Earth?

Nat: Looks like it.

Starlord: Well lets get going! Suit up!

Tony: Look I know you want to get to your daughter as fast as you can but we don't have a plan.

Banner: We should look at the base and see if we can find anything that can help us with the plan.

Tony: Ok well...

He pulls up a 3D hologram.

Tony: There. It looks like a ventilation system. But I don't think we can fit in there.

Lily: I could.

Peter: No.

Strange: We can't just send you in there.

Lily: You guys can just cause a distraction and I'll grab Astra and get out of there! The vent opens up right in the main room. That's probably where Astra would be.

Nebula: Yes. But Thanos and Vision would likely be there as well.

Lily: Well you could distract them.

Tony: And what if Vision or Thanos goes and one of them stays?

Lily: Then I can fight them.

Wanda: No offence but if Thanos is left there, I don't know if you will be able to knock him down long enough to grab Astra. And you won't be able to beat Vision. He is too overpowered.

Cap: There is only one person that could beat Vision and that was Wanda. You aren't as strong as Wanda so it would be a tight chance you would make it out of there.

Strange: We have to find another plan.

Peter: Yea that plan is too risky.

Lily: Or.....

Strange: Or? That doesn't sound reassuring.

Lily: What if we make a trade?

Everyone: No!

Peter: Are you crazy? Ok sure, and no offence Gamora, but doing that would give you up along with a lot of info and power compared to a baby who can't really do anything yet!

Strange: He's right.

Barton: Or you know we could just blow the place up.

Thor: That would provoke them.

Barton: Fair enough.

Lily: Ok then. So do we really have another plan besides the vent or trade plan? Cause if anyone has ideas, I'm all ears. It's not like we can go full combat mode.

Starlord: Well....

Gamora: Quill! That would endanger Astra too.

Lily: So vent or trade?

Tony: I guess vent is the only reasonable one we have of the two.

Lily: It's settled then. Dad can get me up to the vent. I'll go in and you guys can cause a distraction. Then I'll create a rope and grab Astra. Then I'll climb out of the vent with Astra and mission accomplished.

Banner: Ok but how do we communicate when you shouldn't talk cause they'll hear you?

Tony: Here.

He hands a necklace. It has a button in the middle.

Tony: It's like morse code. Have it around your neck. Click once when you get to the end of the vent and see Astra or anyone at all in the main room. Once we get that signal, we'll create a distraction on the other side of the base. Click twice when you have successfully gotten Astra. Click three times when you are ready to get out of the vent. We'll check if the coast is clear before sending back a signal of the same clicks. If you need help or if you are in danger, just click rapidly. Got it?

Lily: That's a lot of memorize but yes, I got it.

Tony: Great then lets all suit up and get going.

We all get in the aircraft and start flying towards the base. We land a ways away from the base.

Nat: We don't know if they can sense the aircraft or not so let's take it on foot here.

We reach the base and we head towards the vent.

Lily: This is it.

I give everyone a hug before going in.

Gamora: Thank you for doing this Lily. We'll never forget it.

Lily: Oh don't thank me yet. Be careful guys. Wait for my signal.

Tony gives me a pat on the shoulder and when I walk to Peter, he pulls me in for a kiss and a hug.

Peter: Promise me you'll be careful.

Lily: I promise. Ok dad, fly me up.

My dad grabs my waist and we start to fly up to the vent. I get in the vent but dad doesn't let go of my hand.

Lily: It'll be fine.

I go down and crawl all the way to the end. I see THanos and Vision in the main room along with Astra.

Thanos: How are the security systems?

Vision: We're working on it.

Thanos: We need to finish before the Avengers get here.

Vision: Yes and perhaps we need to focus on blocking the vents too.

Vision waves his hand and I fall out of the vent.

Thanos: Well well well.

I start clicking the button rapidly but Vision destroys it.

Vision: Another prisoner.
