Retreating to the desert mountain beside the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility, Peter kept up the illusion that covered himself as he looks for a cave.

...

After a minute of leaping around the mountain, Peter found a cave and slipped inside, away from the onlookers as well as any spying satellites.

As soon as he was alone in the cave, Peter dropped the illusion. Instantly, the figure of the towering Mad Titan faded away, leaving Peter in his blacked-out spider suit.

Smiling down at the cube in his hand, Peter now had two of the three Infinity Stones that were currently on earth.

'I wonder how I'll convince The Ancient One to hand over the time stone?' Peter thought as that was the only one left on the planet.

While admiring the glowing cube, Peter's super hearing picked up the sounds of armed search parties making their way up the mountain.

'They're acting quick, huh?' Peter thought as he opened a portal to his bedroom and stepped inside.

By the time the armed soldiers made it to his cave, they would find nothing but the oversized footprints left behind by Peter's illusion.

The second Peter got home, he went down to the basement and disarmed the safe, so that he could admire the two Infinity Stones together.

Also, for the safety of his loved ones and anyone that enters his house. Though Peter wasn't thinking about that at the moment.

"This is so cool..." Peter muttered as he sat on the basement floor with the shining Tesseract and the metal Orb in his lap. "My precious..."

Peter felt his inner Sméagol coming out.

"You've changed a lot today... again." A familiar voice appears in the dark basement.

Jumping in fright, as he didn't expect the Ancient One's arrival, Peter holds both of the Infinity Stones behind his back.

"I won't let you lay your dirty hands on my precious collectibles..." Peter blurts out without thought. "Ahem, dangerous objects. That's right, I won't let these dangerous objects fall into the wrong hands."

"..." His teacher just stared at him as if he were an idiot. "If I wanted your 'precious collectibles', I would have taken the Orb while you were out. Impressive enchantments by the way. I could have broken them in seconds, but other Masters would have risked their lives disarming that safe."

"Thanks, I plan to create a better hiding spot for them." Peter said, happy to hear her praise, which isn't given lightly.

"You can give them to me?" She offers a helping hand. "I'll take good care of them for you."

"No, you'd most likely just return them." Peter says as he guards his collectibles closely.

"Well, would you blame me?" The Ancient One says with a sigh. "The Tesseract isn't that big of a deal, since you already screwed up the invasion timeline, but Peter Quill and his team can still be formed if the Orb is returned."

She gives her student a pleading look, hoping that he would see things her way.

"That's what you're worried about?" Peter mutters incredulously. "Just create a replica of the Orbs casing and put it in the temple. The Power Stone isn't needed for them to come together. All interested parties only have to think that the stone is inside."

"..." The Ancient One goes silent as she reluctantly agrees with her student's assessment. "Fine, I'll have a copy put in its place."

"I have no problem with that." Peter smiles in her direction. "See, we can work together."

"No, you messed up a good part of the future and I'm cleaning up your mess." She rebuts with a roll of her eyes.

"I like to think about it a bit differently. I took a very powerful weapon away from our enemy before he could take it, and you agree with my decision and wanted to help." Peter twists her words into a better light.

"Yeah... no." She says flatly.

"They say denial is the first step." Peter says in a know-it-all tone.

Of course, Peter wouldn't be answering that call right now. He knew what the calls were about.

After all, he was the cause.

His little stunt as Thanos probably sent the bald pirate into overdrive, but that was a problem for the morning.

'At least the Avengers will be wary of Thanos...' Peter thought as his eyes began to droop sleepily.

*Bang*

Just as he was about to fall asleep, someone slammed Peter's bedroom door open.

"What the..." Peter sat up and found a smirking Tony Stark standing at his door. "Why are you here?"

"Fury's freaking out about some sort of Barney the Dinosaur alien, and you weren't picking up your phone." He says as he strolls in and sits in Peter's computer chair. "So, I thought that since I know your super duper secret identity, I could stop by and see what's up."

"Who let you in?" Peter asks as the house has protections for unwanted visitors.

Only someone keyed in can grant other people access.

"Mr, Stark!" May's voice yells up the stairs. "Do you take milk and sugar in your coffee?"

"That would be your sexy Aunt." Tony says teasingly. "Yes, please!"

"Oh, god..." Peter mutters as he puts a pillow over his face and groans. "This has to be a bad dream."

"Hehe, I love knowing who you are." Tony enjoys the moment. "Maybe I'll ask your Aunt on a date?"

"..." tossing the pillow aside, Peter looks at Tony seriously. "You stay away from-"

"Mr, Stark!" May enters the room with a big mug and handed it to their guest. "I hope it's good. I recently started using a French press."

"As I said downstairs, just call me Tony." Taking a sip, Tony smiles up at her from his seat. "It's wonderful."

Tony sends her a flirtatious smile as Peter glares into the side of his head, annoyed with this entire situation.

*Knock Knock...*

Metallic knocking could be heard as Nebula stood outside of Ronan the Accusers sleeping quarters, tapping the locked door with her knuckles.

Though there was no response.

Soon, the knocking turned to banging as Nebula lost her patience.

*Bang bang...*

This seemed to get Ronan's attention as the doors swished open, and a fist flew at Nebula's face, knocking her backward and into the ship's metal hallway wall.

"Quit that incessant banging..." Ronan commands.

"You..." Nebula wipes some blood from the corner of her mouth and draws her blaster rifle on him. "You were the one who ordered me to get you when we arrived!"

Not only was she acting as a servant, but she was struck for her efforts as well. Nebula was really starting to hate her father's newest subordinate.

"We're here?" Ronan asks as he ignores the gun pointed at his chest and walks down the hall, turning his back to Nebula.

He knew she wouldn't fire.

"Aaagghh!" Nebula screams in anger as she forces herself to lower her rifle.

Her father wouldn't be happy if she killed his latest lackey...
