On Nidavellir, Thor, Peyton, Rocket and Groot followed Eitri to the forge. "This is your plan? We're gonna hit him with a brick?" Rocket asked.

"It's a mold. A king's weapon. Meant to be the greatest in Asgard. In theory, it could even summon the Bifrost", Eitri said.

"Did it have a name?" Thor asked.

"Stormbreaker", Eitri said.

"That's a bit much", Rocket said. Peyton, on the other hand, thought it was a catchy name.

"So how do we make it?" Peyton asked.

"You'll have to restart the forge. Awaken the heart of a dying star", Eitri said.

"Rabbit, fire up the pod", Thor said.

"The hell happened to this planet? It's eight degrees off it's axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place",Quill said. Jean stood next to him.

"We've got one advantage. He's coming to us. We'll use it. Alright, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one", Tony said. "It's pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need".

"Okay, well, pinning him down may be a challenge, but if we can do that, we can get what we need, right?" Jean asked.

"Hopefully. But we wouldn't want to dance with this guy. We just want the gauntlet", Tony said. He looks at Drax, who was yawning. "Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I'm breaking it down, huh? Did you hear what I said?"

"I stopped listening after you said, 'We need a plan'", Drax said. Jean and Lavinia facepalms.

"Okay, Mr. Clean is on his own page".

"He's like that sometimes", Jean said.

"See, 'not winging it' isn't really what they do", Quill said.

"Uh, what exactly is it that they do?" Peter asked.

"Kick names. Take ass", Mantis said.

"Yeah, that's right", Drax said in agreement. There is a moment of silence. Peter and Jean looked at Tony, who sighs. "Boy, we're dealing with a handful", Lavinia thought.

"Alright, just get over here, please", Tony said. Everyone except Strange walks closer to Tony. "Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?"

"'Mr. Lord'. Star-lord is fine", Quill said.

"Or Fart-Lord", Jean said.

"No. Jean, no", Quill said. Jean rolled her eyes.

"We gotta coalesce. Cause if all we come at him with is a pluky attitude-" Tony was cut off by Quill.

"Dude, don't call us pluky. We don't know what it means".

"Showing or having determined courage in difficulties", Jean said.

"Not now, Jean", Quill said. "I like your plan. Except it sucks so let me do the talking and that way, it might be really good".

"That makes no sense", Lavinia said.

"Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe", Drax said. Jean nodded her head as she smiled.
