"So, how are they going to beat him now?" Tony asked.

"You won't believe me if I told you." Benjamin told him.

"Really? Something ridiculous?" Rhodes asked.

"Kind of." Logan said.

"Sort of." Odinson said at the same time.

"We need to see that." Sam said.

Groot dragged Drax out of the fountain and turning his branch into a sharp fingernail, hit his chest, making him cough out all the fountain water as he woke up and started breathing.

"The biggest idiot is awake!" Scott said.

"He actually drunk-dialed Ronan." Fury shook his head.

"Revenge does that to people." Odinson told him.

"Still, he went too far with that." Loki said.

Rocket's pod landed and he got out, saying they were all idiots as Quill had gotten himself captured because Drax had single-handedly tried to take on a frickin' army.

"He is right about that." Hill said.

Drax agreed, saying he was a fool and all the anger and rage was just to cover his loss.

"First step in repenting for your mistakes is to realize you've made a mistake." Steve said and everyone nodded, "And he has realized it."

Rocket mocked the deaths of his family in a rage as Groot put a hand on his mouth in horror.

"That was really, really mean." Hope said.

Rocket looked at Groot's face and said he didn't care if it was mean. Everyone had dead people but that was no excuse to get others dead along the way.

"He is right about that too." Natasha said.

"That is a very wise rabbit." Thor said.

"Groot is pretty forgiving." Clint said, "Drax attacked him and he is still comforting him."

"Groot is like Hobbits in a way." Bruce said and nods followed.

Rocket turned away, saying they should get to the other side of the Universe so they could live full lives before Ronan ever got there. Groot stood up and declared, "I am Groot." Rocket asked how they will save them. Groot repeated his line and Rocket said he knew they were the only friends they had but they had an army of Ravagers around them and they were only two. Drax staggered up and putting a hand on Groot's shoulder said, "Three."

"Looks like differences are put aside finally." Pepper said.

"Damn right!" Fury said.

Rocket angrily turned around and kicked grass, "You're making me beat….up grass!"

Everyone burst out laughing as Aunt May said, "He has some pretty funny outbursts."

On the Dark Aster, Ronan was on video call with Thanos as he said the Orb was in his possession. Thanos asked him to bring it to him but Ronan said now that he knew it contained an Infinity Stone, he had no use of Thanos. "Boy. I would reconsider your current course." Thanos said threateningly. Ronan angrily opened the Orb, revealing the Power Stone as Korath warned, "Master! You cannot! Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe." Ronan looked at the Stone and said, "Not anymore." With that, he grabbed the Power Stone with his hand, roaring in anger and pain before Korath handed him his hammer. He managed to put the Power Stone in it.

"Oh boy!" Tony said in horror as they all watched the scene.

"Now he has it." Steve muttered.

"And he will use it to destroy Xander." Thor said.

"Could he have beaten Thanos with it?" Peter asked.

"No." Logan said, "Even with the Power Stone, he would have lost to Thanos' superior strength, speed and skills."

"Thanos is a cunning strategist. He knows that one villain can betray another villain." Odinson said, "He would have been prepared for Ronan. And Ronan has the Power Stone in his hammer, not in his being. So Thanos could have easily disarmed him and won."

"So he is the toughest nut to crack in that case." Bucky said and nods followed.

Ronan angrily declared, "You call me "boy!" I will unfurl 1,000 years of Kree justice on Xandar, and burn it to its core! Then, Thanos, I am coming for you." Thanos looked angry but unconcerned about Ronan as he cut the call.

"Based on his expression, he really doesn't look that much concerned about Ronan coming after him." Bruce agreed with Logan's and Odinson's observation.

Nebula asked Ronan if he was going to kill her father after Xander. He asked if she was opposing him but she said her father had turned her into a monster. So if he killed Thanos, she would help him destroy a thousand more planets.

"Looks like both of daddy dearest's daughters hate him with a passion." Fury said.

"No kidding." Natasha agreed.

In the Ravager ship, Gamora and Quill were both restrained as Yondu beat up the latter for stealing his money and betraying him.

"Actions having consequences." Rhodes muttered, "Damn!"

Gamora asked him to stop as Yondu again said when he had picked him up, his boys had wanted to eat him because they had never tasted Terran before and he had saved Quill's life. Quill asked him to stop with that as normal people never thought about eating each other, much less someone having to be grateful for it. He then pointed out Yondu had abducted him, stole him from his home and family.

"That is definitely true." Wanda said.

"Quill would later realize Yondu was family too." Benjamin said and everyone wondered what he was talking about.

Yondu told Quill he didn't really care about Terra and he was scared because he was soft in the heart. Gamora told Yondu that Ronan had an Infinity Stone and he would use it to wipe out Xandar so they needed to warn them or billions would perish. Yondu angrily slapped Quill, asking if Gamora had filled his brain with sentiment and eaten away at it like maggots.

"Damn! He is a hardass!" Hill commented.

"He has some sentiments himself." Benjamin said, "He just doesn't show them."

Yondu then brandished his Yaka arrow with a whistle and it was right at Quill's throat, to Gamora's horror.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Peter was saying as everyone was tense.

As Yondu turned around, Quill said if Yondu killed him, he would be missing the biggest score of his life. Yondu turned around with a smile and said no one was stealing the Stone from Ronan but Quill said they had Gamora who knew everything to know about Ronan and she played along with him, saying he was vulnerable. Quill said they could take down a mark side-by-side like the old days. Yondu considered for a few seconds, and then withdrew his Yaka arrow with a whistle.

"Phew!" Peter said as everyone released breaths they hadn't realized they were holding.

"I still want that arrow." Clint said and everyone chuckled.

He then laughed and hugged Quill as everyone else laughed too while Gamora freed herself. Suddenly, the entire ship shook and they ran to the controls room as the ship shook two more times from the shots.

"I think I know who that is." Wanda said.

"We all do, Miss Maximoff." T'Challa said.

Drax was seen standing over a craft in a suit with some kind of weapon as Rocket announced that the lunatic on the craft had a Hadron Enforcer of his design and if they didn't hand over their companions, they were going to blow their ship a very big, new one. With that, Rocket started counting down from 5 but Quill and Gamora arrived and the former frantically stopped them, saying they had figured it out.

"Wait, they were going to save them by blowing them up?" Peter asked and everyone's eyes widened.

"That plan still gives me a headache." Logan said.

"Definitely not recruiting any of them now." Fury said.

Later, the five were sitting together in the ship as Rocket asked how they were going to rob the people who had beat them senseless. Quill told him senseless was trying to save them by blowing them up.

"Thank you." Peter said.

Rocket said they were going to blow them up only if they didn't hand them over. Quill asked how they would do that in 5 seconds as Rocket said they didn't have time to go over the minutiae of the plan. He said to Groot this is what they got for trying to act altruistically and Groot repeated his line as Rocket agreed they were being ungrateful.

"And your plan is devoid of logic." Tony said.

"The rabbit is stubborn." Thor said.

"With a mouth that would make a sailor blush." Loki said and everyone chuckled.

Gamora said they now needed to get the Ravager army to help save Xandar as Rocket pointed out Yondu will sell the Stone to someone even worse and Quill said they would figure that part out later. Gamora said they had to stop Ronan. Quill then said he had a plan. Rocket said Quill was copying him from when he had said it and Quill said he wasn't as people said it all the time and it wasn't a unique thing to say.

"He is not wrong about that." Steve said.

"I'm pretty sure I said it too in the first recording." Thor reminded everyone and they nodded.

Rocket said he didn't believe he had a plan. Quill said he had part of a plan. Drax asked what percentage but Gamora said he didn't get to ask questions after the nonsense he pulled on Knowhere. He said he had just saved them but Quill said they had just established that blowing up the ship he was on wasn't saving. Drax asked when had that happened and Quill said 3 seconds ago. Drax said he wasn't listening as he was thinking of something else, annoying the others.

"Really? Does he ever listen?" Tony asked.

"No. He yawns." Benjamin said with a chuckle, remembering when Drax had done it during the time Tony was telling the plan.

"But he gets the job done somehow." Logan said, "All of them do."

"Yeah. I saw that when I was with them." Odinson said.

Rocket agreed, saying he didn't get an opinion. Rocket asked the percentage and Quill said it was 12%, shocking everyone.

"You have found a kindred spirit." Pepper joked to Tony and everyone chuckled.

"I give 12% credit. He has 12% of a plan." Tony quipped and there were some more chuckles.

Rocket laughed but Quill said it was a fake laugh. Rocket said it was the most authentic laugh of his entire life because it wasn't a plan and Gamora agreed, saying it was not even a concept. Quill was shocked that she took their side when Groot spoke his line and Rocket asked why it mattered if it was better than 11%. Quill thanked him, saying he was the only one who had a clue but then Groot ate a leaf on his arm and everyone looked shocked.

"Really? That shocks them?" Scott asked.

Quill said Yondu was going to be here in 2 seconds and he expected to hear this big plan of theirs. He then said, "I need your help. I look around at us. You know what I see? Losers." They looked offended and he clarified, "I mean, like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have. Man, we have. All of us. Our homes, our families, normal lives. And, usually, life takes more than it gives. But not today. Today, it's given us something. It has given us a chance." Drax asked, "To do what?" Quill looked at him and said, "To give a shit. For once. Not run away. I, for one, am not gonna stand by and watch as Ronan wipes out billions of innocent lives."

"He is pretty good at this." Tony commented.

"He is." Steve agreed.

"He might give you a run for your money." Bucky joked and everyone chuckled.

Rocket said stopping Ronan was impossible and he was asking them to die. Quill sighed and said he was as he turned around. "Quill." Gamora said as he turned around, "I have lived most my life surrounded by my enemies." She then got up and said, "I will be grateful to die among my friends." Drax got up and said, "You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter again." Quill nodded as Groot got up and said, "I am Groot."

"He said he will fight alongside them." Thor said.

"Yeah, we got that." Scott said.

"What the hell. I don't got that long a lifespan, anyway." Rocket said and got up, "Now I'm standing. Y'all happy? We're all standing up now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle."

Everyone burst out laughing as Steve said, "Now I guess they will fight Ronan and his army."

"Oh they will." Odinson smirked.
