Steve, Nat, and Carol watched Y/N and Rhodey speak to Pepper in a room as Tony laid unconscious on the cot between them. Rhodey placed Tony's glasses on the table and Y/N stood up from her chair after muttering something to Pepper.

"Bruce gave him sedative," Rhodey walked out of the room.

"He's gonna be out for the rest of the day," Y/N added, joining his side.

"You guys take care of him," Carol spoke, "And I'll bring him a Xorian elixir when I get back."

"Where're you going?" Steve asked when she started to walk away.

"To kill Thanos."

"Okay, lavalamp," Y/N rolled her eyes, following her into another room, "Let me stop you right there."

"Hey," Nat walked over to her side, "You know, we usually work as a team here, and, uh, between you and I, morale's a little fragile."

"We realize up there is more your territory," Steve continued from behind the two, "But this is our fight too."

You even know where he is?" Rhodey leaned on the frame of the door.

"I know people who might," Carol shrugged.

"Don't bother," Nebula's voice caught the group's attention, "I can tell you where Thanos is."

"Thanos spent a long time trying to perfect me," Nebula zoned out at the floor, "And when he worked, he talked about his Great Plan. Even disassembled. I wanted to please him. I'd ask, 'Where would we go once his plan was complete?' And his answer was always the same," she turned to face the others in the room, "To the Garden."

"That's cute," Rhodey nodded sarcastically, "Thanos has a retirement plan."

"So where is he?" Steve walked across the room.

Rocket stood on the table and made a hologram of a planet pop up, "When Thanos snapped his fingers, Earth became ground zero for a power surge of ridiculously cosmic propotions. No one's ever seen anything like it. Until two days ago," the hologram zoomed out and showed the images of various planets and locked on one, "on this planet."

"Thanos is there," Nebula confirmed.

Nat leaned forward on the table to take a closer look at the hologram, "He used the stones again."

"Hey, hey, hey," Bruce chuckled nervously when Y/N perked up, "We'll be going in short-handed, you know?"

"Look," Rhodey started, "He's still got the stones, so—"

"So, let's get them," Carol said at once, "Use them to bring everyone back."

"Just like that?" Bruce raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, just like that," Steve stated and the two nodded at each other in determination.

"Even if there is a small chance that we can undo this," Nat turned around at everyone," I mean we owe it to everyone who's not in this room to try."

"If we do this," Bruce spoke, "How do we know it's gonna end differently than it did before?"

That one question made everyone hesitate for a fraction of a second. Y/N closed her eyes for a moment and let out a silent sigh.

"Because before you didn't have me," Everyone turned to Carol when she replied in full confidence.

"Hey, New Girl?" Rhodey turned to her, "Everybody in that room is about that superhero life. And if you don't mind me asking, where the hell have you been all this time?"

"There are a lot of other planets in the universe. And unfortunately, they didn't have you guys."

The chair creaked as Thor stood up and walked towards Carol. He outstretched his hand beside her head; Stormbreaker flew into his hand, narrowly missing Carol by centimeters. He jerked his head to the side in approval and rested both his arms on the hammer and she smirked, "I like this one."

In a rush of emotion, Steve turned to the hologram of the planet, "Let's go get this son of a bitch."
