"NUH-UH! You said we make Sakaar an enemy, and it was fine since they were killable beings. You said let's mess with the Kree; it was fine; they can't focus on measly us. Now you want to mess with the fucking eater of worlds? And who even told you his name?" Yondu, as always, was the most knowledgeable man about space in the room. He had heard about the eater of the worlds, a scary entity that nobody would want to mess with.

"We are not going there anytime soon, Yondu. I know my limits. I can't face that freak yet. But trust me, I know things that would make Supreme Intelligence sell the Kree Empire. So, for now, our goal is to arm Moran, get the army trained, form an armada and bring the Skrull Princess to power. Do we have any other options right now? If yes, then tell me," Hector sat back in his seat.

All relevant parties sat around the round table in Hector's oval office. Moony, Adam, Logan and Yondu were always there, but now Peter had joined as well.

"Move the Moranians to another planet. There are enough uninhabited ones out there," Yondu suggested.

"But that does not change the fact that Kree Empire is our enemy, and they will come after us. My struggle is not for Moranians only, but also our own survival." Hector countered.

"I bet whoever that crazy exiled Skrull that guy talked about will be of no help. If she's religious, then she's no good." Logan added.

"We won't know unless we go there. So calm down and train yourself. We have a war to fight. Adam, what about you? Did you find the location of Vormir?" Hector asked. He had given him the task so he could get the soul stone.

"I have not found any mention of a planet with such a name, Mister President. I don't understand where to begin the search. The Universe is vast."

"Hmm..." He caressed his beard and tried to think about a way. There was one, but it was risky, "As far as I know, daughters of Thanos might know about this. One is a cyborg named Nebula, and the other is a green girl. Find out more about Gamora, and if she's out on any mission, tell me. I will meet her."

"Here we go messing with another warlord. I'm going to need those sleeping pills." Yondu left the meeting.

Hector, too, decided to go to his bedroom and rest. He'd been up for a long time now. "All right, I'm heading to my room as well. Get some rest until we get to that Skrull Princess."

...

But he didn't need to sleep. So instead, he went to Funhouse dimension to meet Erskine and see what progress he had made.

Hector loudly entered the castle, "Look what I got you, my boy."

"A wife?"

(￣▽￣)"

"No, I brought you the blood sample of a person whose body got mutated from the energy of the tesseract, and she gained mad powers. She can shoot energy blasts from her fist and fly across space. Here, check it out." Hector handed him a jug full of blood.

Erskine frowned, "So much! Was she menstruating or something?"

*Cough* "No, no, I beat the crap out of her."

Erskine didn't know if he should be happy or sad, "Why does menstruation blood sound better? Anyway, I'm tired here now. I want to see the world outside. Take me along. I even trained here with the Skull Knight, and now I can fight."

"Sure, you can come. In fact, I urge you to come out. You can take over the engineering bay on my ship." Hector did feel bad for this man. He's been in the dimension ever since his death was faked.

"AH! THANK YOU!" Erskine hugged him with tears in his eyes. Then he went to a table and tapped a few buttons, "So long, Clint Eastwood and Zorro, thank you for satisfying my needs all these years."

Hector awkwardly witnessed the scene of Erskine decommissioning the sex machine that choked him and poked him. He did not feel it right to speak about them, so he focused elsewhere.

...

Freedom One,

The ship was silently traversing through the various Star systems, jumping from one point to another. Talos had revealed the location of the planet. It was space, so there was no day and night time. Instead, there were shifts according to which they slept and stayed up.

Natasha and Yelena were given a small room to sleep in. It had bunk beds and an entertainment screen. The bigger sister held the little one in her arms as they shared the same bed today. Yelena was so small that she seemed to disappear in Natasha's arms.

"Why do you act so close to all of them? We barely know them. You can't just trust people like that, Yelena." Natasha warned her little sister, the only true family known to her. She knew they were not blood-related, but Yelena saw it that way.

Yelena abruptly turned her face up, shoving her hair on Natasha's mouth, "Umm... but Freedom Glanpa is so kind. He gave chocolates and... mister Moony."

"It's grandpa, not glanpa. And they gave us chocolates in the academy too, but did you like that place?" Natasha reasoned.

"No, I hated Madame B. She yells at me." As soon as she said that, her bad experiences resurfaced, and her eyes watered up, "Big sister, I don't wanna go back there,"

~Is this why she acts so close to everyone? So they won't push her away and send her back?~ Natasha wondered silently. It was plausible, as Yelena was also selected for the Black Widow programme, and she also had exceptional talent in mind and body.

Wanting to make her feel good, she hugged her tighter, "Don't worry, nobody is coming to take you. The academy was destroyed, remember?"

"Where do you think mom and dad are?" Yelena wondered then.

Natasha hugged her tighter, knowing very well how fake it was. "Probably somewhere on Earth. It's better if we don't see them for now. What if it puts them in danger?"

"Okie"

*WOOSH*

A magic portal appeared, and Moony entered their room from it, "Woof!"

"Mister Moony!" Yelena jumped to hug the furball. Moony even took out a bar of chocolate from his fur and gave the two. Then he jumped in between them, allowing them to hug him.

Moony also fell asleep right there. He was a dog from heaven, after all. If not him, who else would understand children the best?

...

6 Hours Later,

"This is amazing. The level of technology, even a single patch of this ship has more technology than Earth. This is madness." Erskine was out of his hole, and like a mad scientist, he was going around, checking things. He even looked at the prosthetic limbs of Ravagers.

But all quickly started respecting him as everyone loves an in-house mechanic. This means they won't have to go to some planet to get their stuff fixed.

"Calm down, Erskine. We're on an important mission today. First, Yondu, land the ship. Talos, are you sure nobody is watching this planet?"

"Well, there is no reason to. The place is so deserted; folks don't even get lost here." Talos ensured.

Logan grunted then, "Then she's probably dead. Look at the place; it's a desert. And even if she's somehow alive, she'd be just skin and bones,"

"Let's bet then," Hector suggested.

Logan was always ready for such things. He did it often with Moony. "Sure, what's the bargain?"

"If the Skrull Princess turns out to be alive and well, you will call me Onii-Chan for a week. If you win, I will call you that." Hector proposed, extending his hand out to him.

Logan frowned hard. But you need to take risks to earn big. So he spat at his palm and shook the hand, "Deal,"

"What the heck is Onii-Chan?" Talos wondered.

Adam quickly opened the Earth's dictionary and answered, "It seems to be a word for big brother but in a more intimate way. Usually, little girls use it."

"Pfft..."

The ship started to descend and land on the sandy surface of the unknown planet. It simply had no name. But since the woman was stuck here for a while now, they expected her to be desperate. They hoped that she had already seen the ship and should be running to them.

"Let's go and see," Hector excitedly opened the hatch.

Erskine also walked out with him, just excited about seeing another planet in the Universe. "This looks like a dead place and..." He abruptly stopped, and his jaw fell, "Mister President, it seems little Erskine has real-life Clint Eastwood and Zorro,"

"What?" Hector looked at the horizon. A woman was walking toward them, and she was wearing a tight bodysuit that seemed futuristic. She was green and looked healthy. A Skrull, for sure.

When Logan saw that, he had only one thing to say, "FUCK—MY—LUCK!"
