Waking up 30 seconds before the plane your in crashes into the ground is nothing short of terrifying. Especially if you have no idea how you got on the plane in the first place or why you are in the pilot seat.
The earth is a beautiful planet but not when you find yourself crashing towards it in a plane that you are not sure how you found yourself on. Worse still you are in the pilot seat and only now realize that your plane isn't a plane but some kind of spaceship. Your only hope is for a painless death upon impact or that the ship's safety features kicked in and saved your ass. Either way, the one thing that you don't want is to be considered an alien on earth as you know the likely result would be.
pressing random buttons seemed to work as the ship suddenly stopped a few feet from the ground and then gently landed on the ground. It was only then that a screen seemed to pop into existence in front of your face.

Okay, I was wrong before everyone else died because of this stupid system! Who willingly shut down their brain for ten minutes right before a deadly test that starts in five minutes? That is the definition of being set up for failure! Before I could continue my internal rant a screen from the ship's computer lit up again showing what is going on outside. It seems like my ship is surrounded by soldiers and some kind of special agents. I guess just because my brain stopped working for ten minutes doesn't mean that the rest of the universe did. One of them walked closer to the ship but for some reason, he seemed familiar.
Agent: This is Phil Colson of Shield depart your vehicle and surrender yourself to Shield's custody now or we will open fire!
Did he just say, Shield? Am I in the marvel universe? Before I could even begin figuring out the situation a man dropped down from the sky wearing blue and red tights wearing the letter S.
Superman: Please Stand down we don't know the situation yet so we shouldn't threaten whoever is inside
Wait a minute Superman is not in Marvel yet somehow he is here. Rather than wait for either Shield or Superman to drag me out I decided to go out myself and find out exactly what was going on.
"Hey I'm coming out please don't shoot I'm too tired to deal with that"
Everyone turned to face the ship as I walked out with my helmet on before placing the ship into my inventory which seemed to shock everyone.
"I didn't mean to land here I was just flying through space before your planet somehow appeared out of nowhere. I hate to ask because I am afraid of the answer but is this Earth?"
