"What, you didn't see the force field surrounding us?" Bella asked. She and Lavinia sat down. "Is Baby nephew okay?"

"Yeah", Lavinia said. "He's just a little fussy. I wouldn't blame him".

"I've never held a force field that long in my life", Bella says. She sounded exhausted.

"You did good", Loki said.

"I knew you guys would show up. I'm glad you did", Bella said to the Guardians.

"Even though there was a force field, I'm surprised that you all survived", Jean says.

"Well, Asgardians are hard to kill", Lavinia said. The Guardians looked at Jean.

"You're Asgardian?" Jean asked. Bella walked towards her. "You're Bella". Bella nodded.

"Yeah. Jean is Asgardian. Like us", Bella said to Thor and Loki.

"You're Asgardian?" Loki asks.

"Yeah. What happened?"

"Our planet was destroyed. Half of Asgard's people were killed. Including Heimdall and...my Aunt", Bella said.

"I'm sorry I didn't get there on time".

"It wasn't your fault, Jean", Peter said.

"He's right", Gamora said.

"Even if you had gotten there in time, there's nothing you could've done",Loki said. Jean looked at the ground. Maybe he was right. Peter puts his arm around Jean.

Jean looked at Loki. Inside her head, she thought, "He is kinda cute".

"Bella, you know her?" Lavinia asked, referring to Jean.

"For the past three months, me and Jean have communicated through thoughts. We've gotten to know each other and each other's gifts", Bella explained.

"Bella can see through time. Past, Present and Future. She can predict the future and she has the power of the infinity stones. All 6", Jean said to the Guardians.

"And Jean can sense danger and deaths and she can manipulate light and dark energy", Bella said to the Asgardians and Peyton.

"Who are they?" Peter asked Jean.

"I'm Bella. That's my sister, Lavinia. My father, Loki. That's Uncle Thor. And the little one is Hudson, my baby nephew. And Peyton will be my aunt once she marries my uncle", Bella said.

"We're not-"

"Just give up", Peyton said, interrupting Thor.

"We have a lot to talk about", Jean said. She looked at Bella. "Who killed the people of Asgard?"

The Asgardians sat down and were eating while Gamora spoke. Hudson was asleep in Jean's arms.

"The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal. To bring balance to the universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people, planet by planet, massacre by massacre", Gamora said.
