He sounded sad and tired.

"TONY?!" Steve yelled, running towards his voice.

I followed him to a small, upset, Tony.

"Tony!!" I squealed. And another girl comes out. Blue skin, she looks robotic.

"Hi." She said. Unhappy.  I wonder why.

"Where Peter?! And Strange?" I ask.

Rocket runs at Tony.

"Where are Peter and Gamora?! What about Drax and Mantis?" He hissed, grabbing his shirt.

"Gone." He sobbed. "They all turned to dust."

My heart stopped. We came all this way. They where gone. Peter was such a young boy. He was so innocent. Too innocent.

Rocket froze. He stopped breathing.

"Rocket..." I said, pulling him into a hug. "I'm so sor-"

Then he moved. He punched and kicked at me. My stomach, my eyes, he pulled my hair, whatever he could get his hands on.

"LEMME GO!!" He screamed.

I can't. He needs other people, as much as he won't admit it. He bit my arm, and I screamed. His sharp little teeth dug further into me. Steve pulled Rocket off of me.

Before Steve had a fully embraced Rocket, he ran off. I looked into my arm. I was bleeding pretty badly, but I couldn't leave Rocket out there all alone.

I shot up, leaving the others and their calls for me behind.  I turn invisible, and teleport by Rocket.

"God, I'm such an idiot."  He says, looking into the dirt.

"Leaving you guys alone." 

I don't say anything.

"Groot also turned into dust." 

He sniffs.

"But I'm ok."  He said.

No he's not.  We both know. 

"Quill, I'd be happy to you even you now." 

I swear, I can fell my heart breaking.

"I'll kill him for you.  I promise."  He stood up.  "I'll make that son of a b**** pay." 

He starts to walk my way, and I fly up, careful not to disturb Rocket.  He started back to the ship.  I teleport back before he can see I was gone.  We all pile onto the ship.

Tony eats half our food, the robot lady charges herself.  ( How ever that works)   We all just get ready to head home.

6 months later

It's been a year since we've seen earth.  In two days we'll be home.  A hole year.  Most our our food is gone, along with all of our ways of talking to anyone on earth.  We most likely won't live to see landing. 

"Chess, can you teleport us to safety?"  Steve asked.

"Not this far I can't.  Once we're closer I can."  I say.

Well really, I can't.  I'll die.  But, better one dead then six. 

"Ok.  How much closer?"  He asks.

"A day away."  I tell him. 

"Got it."  He runs off to tell the others.
