Purple Path 2: Robbers of the Skyways!

The Scarlet Witch gestures at Star-Lord, allowing filaments of crawling red energy to infiltrate his mind.

Or at least, that's the plan. Instead, they are held at bay by a purple glow, like a wind blowing outward from Star-Lord and resisting the hex force.

"Oh, great," says Star-Lord. "Captain Marvel."

"That is Mar-VELL, Earthborn interloper!" says Captain Marvel, and throws a sparkling energy bolt at Star-Lord.

Star-Lord dodges with practiced ease. But he still would have been hit, had not the purple glow bent Mar-Vell's bolt away from him.

"Seek to stand between me and my revenge, and I will end you on the point of my knife," snarls Drax the Destroyer, the big green guy, "just as I will destroy Thanos if it is the last thing I do in life!"

"You and him? Great, you tussle," says Star-Lord, indicating Captain Mar-Vell and Drax. "I just got one little thing to get done, and we're outta here."

Drax leaps at Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell leaps at Drax.

Star-Lord leaps -- well, lopes -- toward the building housing the Genetic Archives, as Mar-Vell said.

  1. Scarlet Witch floats in front of Drax:
    "As it happens all of us have the same notion. To eliminate Thanos. You should not waste your energies pummeling one another."

  2. Storm will take this opportunity to follow Star-Lord. His destination looks interesting.

    (Boys will answer this evening.)
