As Peter was about to leave the Flagship to deal with some money-grubbing scrappers, he was stopped by a beeping sound that suddenly went off in the control room.

"Sir, we have an incoming call." Jarvis informs, causing Peter to freeze for a moment as his eyebrow arches upwards.

"Answer it." Peter replies and looks toward the screen on the wall. "But record our conversation just in case."

"Yes, sir..." Jarvis says as a familiar voice fills the room.

"I knew you were incompetent, though I didn't know you were a traitor, Ronan." A seated Thanos appears on screen with distant stars at his back.

"I'm afraid Ronan can't come to the phone right now." Peter says as he internally freaks out about meeting the real Thanos. "Can I take a message?"

"Who are you?" Thanos asks as he looks down at Peter, who is garbed in his usual spider attire.

"I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man," Peter says as if Thanos would understand that. "May I ask who's calling? I can forward your message to Ronan, but it may take a while for him to receive it."

"Are you playing with me, Boy?" Thanos tilts his head and glares at Peter through the screen.

"Yes." Peter nods and gives the purple giant a thumbs up.

"Ronan is dead, isn't he?" Thanos states and doesn't wait long enough for Peter to confirm before cursing the dead. "What a waste of resources..."

"Yeah, he left behind this cool hammer though, and for that I am thankful." Peter says as he pulls the Cosmic Rod from his back and spins it between his fingers. "Anyway, are you the mastermind or something? If that's the case, I'd like to thank you for the ships. Earth is behind when it comes to space travel, so your contribution to my growing space fleet is appreciated."

"I see, every word that comes from your mouth is tailored to anger me." Thanos says as he leans forward in his chair. "It isn't smart to anger me, Boy."

"Eh, worst case scenario, you send another army." Peter shrugs as if he didn't care at all. "I could always use more ships for my growing fleet. Unless, of course, you come here yourself?"

"I'm a bit busy at the moment, though I could give you an infinite amount of ships, for a price." Thanos offers as he leans back in his chair.

"Nah, I don't have that Tesseract thingy Ronan was after." Peter refuses instantly. "You know, I've heard a bit about you from your daughter, Nebula."

"What has my most pitiful daughter been saying?" Thanos asks with a small chuckle.

"Oh, just how all-powerful you are and all that." Peter explains as if he didn't believe her.

"You should take her advice." Thanos says threateningly.

"Eh, I think she's just scared of her abusive daddy." Peter waves off the thinly veiled threat.

"Yes, sir." Jarvis replies affirmatively. "I'll alert you when anything of interest is found."

Every organization came to the Tower and handed over their scraps, though some would think themselves smart and stash away the good stuff.

'It's human nature.' Peter thought without a doubt. 'We're all greedy after all.'

Currently, the storage floors under the tower are packed with Chitauri ship debris, which Peter is planning to move to the Kree and Chitauri ships in the Mojave desert.

Tony was able to fly down two of the Chitauri ships, while the other three were portal'd over by Peter, as they were inoperable.

Due to the congregation of warships in the Mojave desert, Tony has a perimeter being built alongside some facilities, so they could work on their new fleet.

At this point, two of the Kree ships have been outfitted with understandable controls, which makes it possible for them to fly if needed, though they could always just have Jarvis do all of the work.

Sort of like a perfect autopilot.

As for his conversation with Thanos, every council member saw the recording and most weren't happy with Peter's taunting.

'Well, Tony gave me a thumbs up and Erik smirked, while everyone else wasn't so supportive.' Peter laughed internally.

Though they got over it fairly quickly.

After all, Thanos would have attacked again either way. He wanted the Space Stone and nothing would stop him in his quest for balance.

There is one good thing that came of them seeing the recording though. The whole council was suddenly very interested in the progress of the Super Soldier Serum.

Dealing with an alien invasion as well as threats of another on the horizon seemed to spark the need for more manpower.

After all, if they had a small army of Super Soldiers, then dealing with their newfound enemy and his armies would be far easier.

Not to mention the other empires and alien organizations out there that could come knocking at any moment.

Thanks to Jarvis cataloging the entirety of the Kree databanks, they all knew a lot more about the infinite universe than before.

"I thought the Earth had problems..." Fury commented as he read about all of the different Empires and their wars over the years.

"There's more human-like races than I thought there would be..." Tony said as he went over the information.

"Yeah, most aliens seem to be humanoid but add in a random characteristic. Like blue skin or some sort of accenting feature." Peter nodded as he came to the same conclusion.

"We could reach out to one of the more respectable Empires and ally ourselves with them?" Charles offers an idea.

"I doubt any Empire would want to ally with us, as they would be making an enemy out of Thanos, but we can try."
