I smile at my friends before walking down the ships open door.

"I was gone for like a day, what happened?" I ask jokingly as I look around the damaged city.

"Very funny." Tony says sarcastically.

"Where were you, and who are they?" Sam interrogates.

I turn to my left after hearing a noise and shoot a stray alien coming at us.

"I'll explain later, right now we've got a job and these guys are with me." I look back at my new friends.

They all shrug and I roll my eyes.

"The only problem is these cuffs are blocking my powers. I can't get them off." I say as I approach the team. "But I think Wanda might be able to get them off."

"Ok shes this way." Steve says and takes off down the rubble filled street.

I follow behind him until we reach a four way intersection. I look to the center of the street to see Wanda fending off a large group of both aliens and HYDRA assassins.

"Ok so nows probably not the best time for that." I sigh. "I'll stick to guns for now." I cock my gun and start fighting.

Steve tosses me an ear piece and I slide it on.

"Where on the legs is the weak point?" I shout to Gamora who was fighting a few feet away from me.

"The back of the legs just below the knees. There should be like a darker purple crease." She shouts back.

"Everyone hear that?" I ask through comms.

"Yup." Nat says.

I use the gun I had until I had used up all of its energy or ammo or whatever it ran on. I sigh as I toss it aside and whip two small blades I had stolen from the ship out of my waistband.

I charge at the aliens flipping over them and landing behind them. They made a noise that was almost a scream when I cut their leg. They fall to the ground unable to walk. This certainly made it easier.

We had made a significant dent in their little army but we were starting to get tired. I look over and see Wanda getting slower and slower. I had to get these good damn cuffs off!

There was quite a few of my teammates around. I sigh and shout out to Bucky who was the closest.

"BUCKY! SHOOT MY HANDS WITH THE UDHAR GUN!" I say as I navigate through some of the enemies to get closer.

He tilted his head as he shot off some of the HYDRA agents.

"NOW BARNES!" I say harshly.

I hold my hands into the air and everything slows down for a moment. This would either work or take off my hands. Let's hope for option one.

Bucky shoots twice, one for each hand. I move my hands quickly to the side just a little bit. The energy blasts whiz past me and I hear a clunk on the ground. I smile to the see the cuffs smoking on the ground.

All the built up energy from the previous days surges through my veins and I gasp. It felt amazing. I charge my hands and lift myself into the air.

Some of the HYDRA agents run the opposite way and I nod to my team to get them. I handle the Udhar, sending blasts their way that go straight through them.

I land on the ground moments later after finishing off the last of the aliens.

"Damn. Didn't know you could do that." I hear someone say behind me.

I turn and see Rocket just standing there. I laugh and jog over to Wanda.

"You ok?" I ask as she stands hunched over.

She pants and stands straight. "Yea i'll be ok."

We walk back to the rest of the group.

"So what the hell did I miss?" I ask once we're all collected.

Steve runs up to me and hugs me. "You got to stop disappearing on us." He chuckles.

I laugh and hug him tighter.

He lets me go and I smile at everyone else.

"So when are we getting paid?" Quill asks from beside me.

I roll my eyes. "Is there somewhere we can go to talk?" I ask Tony.

He nods. We all trudge down the street until the tower comes into view. It was still standing but the bottom half looked kind of gross.

We entered the deserted building took the elevator up to the living room. The guardians were silent the entire time. Didn't know they did that.

Once the doors opened again everyone walked to the couch and fell onto the cushions. After a few minutes of silence Clint speaks up.

"So where we're you?" He asks.

I laugh. "I was on a different planet. Loki took me there put those cuffs on and then just kind of left me there."

They all look at me concerned. "You were on a different planet?!" Wanda asks confused.

I nod. "I think he said Vulra?" I say unsure of my answer.

"Vulara." Gamora corrects me.

I nod and point to her. "Yea that."

"Why vulara?" Steve asks innocently.

"That's the Udhars planet so i'm guessing that's where they're working from." Quill says from beside Gamora.

"I'm sorry, who is this?" Tony says sassily.

I roll my eyes. "Avengers, Guardians. Guardians, Avengers. These guys got me off the planet and got me home." I say pointing to the Guardians.

The Avengers nod and look the Guardians up and down.

"So are we gonna get paid..." Drax asks.

Gamora smacks him.

"Paid?" Clint asks raising an eyebrow.

I chuckle and raise my eyebrows. "I needed them to bring me home." I say and turn to Tony.

He responds with a sigh.

"What do you want?" He asks and turns to the strangers in his living room.

"Guns!" Rocket shouts enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry why is the cat talking?" Tony snaps.

Rocket growls. "I'm a Raccoon asshole."

"Like he said, guns." Quill backs him up.

Tony sighs. "I've got some stuff."

Rocket smirks.

"Anyways... we need to stop Loki. I'm guessing that New York wasn't the only city he's acted in?" I sigh.

"How did you know?" Thor asks confused.

"Your brother has got the largest ego ever. It was just a guess." I laugh.

Thor sighs. "Paris, Berlin, Rome, DC, and London."

My eyes widen in shock. "Are you serious? I was gone for a day!"

"No, you were gone for nearly a week." Sam argues.

What? How was that possible? I furrow my brows and turn to the Guardians.

"Time works differently on Vulara, something about its rotations." Quill says crossing his arms.

I put my head in my hands. "Jesus ok. Well that doesn't matter right now. We need to take back the cities that Loki has taken. Once we do that we can find the bastard himself and get him." I say leaning back into the couch.

Everyone nods.

"If you want any extra help we wouldn't mind sticking around." Gamora butts in.

I turn to her and smile. "Yea definitely. We could use all the help we can get."

"I've got some extra rooms for you guys if you want in." Tony sighs.

"Clean up and police services are sweeping the streets now. SHIELD is taking any Udhar and HYDRA that are still alive. The citizens here are safe for now." Steve says staring out the windows into the streets below.

"Well taking the cities back should be somewhat easier now. We've got more information. I'd say it's time to kick some alien ass." I smirk
