[Back in Wakanda, Shuri is working steadily to complete the Mind Stone's removal; Wanda stands by tensely]

[The Kingsguard, Borderers and Jabari have little success going against Cull Obsidian's chained hammer -- he either sends them flying or punches them into the ground. The Black Panther gets free of his other sorties, leaps and uses all his collected kinetic energy behind a punch that lays Obsidian flat.]

"Whoa!? That's new, What was that?" Peter asked.

"The Vibranium of my brother's suit store Kinetic Energy of any impact to be released at will." Shuri explained.

Rocket: [Having found a clear spot] Come and get some, space dogs! [Another wave of Outriders heads right for the raccoon. The Winter Soldier, having come up behind Rocket, grabs him with his mechanical arm, holds him at arms length and spins 540 degrees, firing his own M-249 at the same time.] Come on, get some, get some! Come on, get some! [The Winter Soldier drops Rocket, who looks up at him with an impressed gleam] How much for the gun?

Bucky Barnes: [Snaps off another burst] Not for sale.

"Than, How much for the Arm?" Rocket asked.

Rocket: Okay, how much for the arm? [The Winter Soldier just gives him a look and moves off] Oh, I'll get that arm.

At this Avengers raised eyebrows.

"It seems that stealing of prosthetic eye wasn't a one time thing." Rhody comments, but got no response from the Raccoon. Just embarrassed looks from Quill.

"No, one time when we were breaking out of jail, Rocket asked us to get a prisoner's prosthetic leg" Drax provided.

"Hold on. You broke out of jail!?" Steve asked worried, Just who are the guardians.

[The tides of battle cause Thor, using Stormbreaker to great effect, and Captain America together. They take a breather.]

Steve Rogers: [Panting] New haircut?

"Chit-chat?" Maria asked astonished.

Thor: [Grinning] Notice you've copied my beard.

"Does it suits me?" Steve asked, he did have to voice this that Thor's entrance has a reviling affect on the team, much greater after the absence of Hulk in the fight.

"More than My Brother!" Loki said looking sideways towards Thor. Who gave an undignified 'hey' towards Loki, while others looked at him as if the ex-villain had grown a second head to try and start a friendly banter with Captain America.

[Captain America nods, wearily gesturing at his own face with a shield-covered hand. Groot skewers three Outriders with his right arm.]

Thor: By the way, this is a friend of mine. Tree. [Gestures towards Groot with Stormbreaker]

"Rabbit and Tree, Pointbreak?" Tony couldn't hold it in him, but his comment eased the populace of the theatre.

Groot: [In full battle snarl] I AM GROOT! (Translation: You gonna help me or what?!)

Steve Rogers: [Formally, but bemused] I am Steve Rogers.

Quill laughed out at that, Thor, Loki and Stephen smirked at the misunderstanding.

[In Shuri's lab, a deep rumbling can be heard even at their height. Wanda looks down on the battlefield, and sees movement through the blazing forest between the troopships and the dome. When the disturbance reaches the edge of the trees, it turns into vast moving mounds of earth that easily bypass the force field and emerge -- Threshers, sets of massive, motorized spiked wheels, intended for nothing more than shredding everything in their paths.]
