We Can't Just Unmake the Cosmos. We Have to Talk Ourselves INTO It First

Wanda: "No, Dr. Banner. You did not hurt anyone. The base might be another
story, but it is only a building."

(She checks with Vision.)

"I wonder... If there is a way to balance your rage with your clear love for humanity, by using the love stone? The love stone's effects enabled me to help Jean Gray overcome her blinding rage as Dark Phoenix."

Storm murmurs, "The sun was mad at me! Well, not me personally." She turns to Star Lord and says cheerfully. "More likely, it was mad at you. But still disturbing."

She looks around, "What is left to be done? Anyone lost, suffering, or disorientated?"

The Scarlet Witch replies:

"Vee are missing anyone who vas brought back from death. Including the residents of the other planet who were turned into zombies. And, including my brother..."

She looks at Captain Purple-Eyes/aka Star Lord sadly. "Your father also."

"Hey, my fath .. my FATHER wasn't a zombie! He shouldn't be dead, man!" says Star-Lord. "Isn't that how it works?"

She looks at Banner. "Is this the right time to experiment? I vould be villing to try."

"What is that, a, a love stone? Love magic seems to work just fine on me, but, uh, they don't do much for the, y'know, other guy."

  1. Wanda:
    To Dr. Banner: "Perhaps it is time that you and 'the other guy' talked. Who is he? Is he from another dimension?"
    To Star Lord:
    "He was injured. Probably severely. But he is a true super being, so... perhaps not..." Her eyes light up. "Perhaps it is a clerical error. Like that film that was on at 2 in the morning that we watched. 'Here Comes Mr. Jordenski.'" In which case, we should certainly try to find him."

    "These infinity stones are very dangerous! What shall we do with them? Not even the Illuminati could be trusted with such power! Perhaps we should give the gems to an irresponsible yet lascivious troll, an artificial man tormented by self-doubt destined to become ultimately evil, a female space-assassin, a notorious but literal minded space-criminal bent on revenge, an arrogant bald telepath woman, and give one back to Thanos.

    "If this seems like an utterly absurd and ridiculous group of people to whom to entrust the nigh-infinite power of the gems, maybe we should just keep them. We can call ourselves SPIDERMAN AND HIS AMAZING INFINITY WATCH.

    "Either that, or THE AMAZING EIGHT. Groups where you just pick a flattering adjective and your number are the best kind. Did I count right? An adventuress, a witch, a mutant, a robot, two insect men, a space rogue in rocket boots, and were-astronaut?

    "We may need to split two gems into four, or find other infinities to loot. We don't have enough for everyone right now. I can ask The Watcher where they are! He says he never interferes, but he is a big sweetheart, and helps out a lot. For example, does Eternity have any brothers or sisters? Maybe they have gems."

    2. Spider-Man

      Spidey Says to the Invisible Girl (he used to be able to think it, but he gave up his infinite power for his mindbogglingly short life to continue for an infinitesimal fraction of a cosmic second. It was probably worth it, though, because if he was dead, who would take care of aunt May?! Who would deliver the pictures he took to J. Jonah Jameson?!! And who would explain to M.J. that he missed their date on the most flimsiest of pretenses DEATH?!?!?! No he can't die so he will continue to express everything he means, OUT LOUD!!!(He thinks this forgetting the mindlink.)) "Sue, I think you will need to greatly improve the name of the team before it will be usable. THE AMAZING EIGHT is a terrible team name, THERE IS NO ALLITERATION!!! Something like THE EXCELLENT EIGHT would be a much better name, don't you think?"

    "I see no one has any ideas on how to save the dead people. Hay, Vig, maybe you can ask Eternity how to do it... or we could just invade The Land of the Dead to get them back. That might work as well. Ow and Invisible Girl, what makes you think that that Team you suggested is a good group of people to hand Eternity to?... And how did you come up with that concept at all?"

  4. The Vision says:

    "In your history, do groups make better decisions than individuals? If so, let us divide the Stones among those we know well."

    "It might be best to entrust the Infinity Gems to someone who can make mistakes, but cannot go mad with rage or greed. I have the perfect candidate."

    1. "Zo, you are villing?" Wanda smiles at him.

    2. "Oh. I did not mean myself," says the Vision, although he doesn't blush, already being very red indeed. "I meant Machine Man."

    3. Wanda: "I am sure Machine Man vill do a fine job...but he is not immune to anger. Unless..."
      She turns to Machine Man.
      "You have devised a protocol?"

  5. "Was he killed by the sun?" Storm asks Star Lord. "Your father, I mean. Is he elsewhere in space?"
