UNIVERSE 12041
When the Avengers travel back from a mission to Dimension Z, but before they reach home, their Avenjet starts creating the turbulence.
"Whoa. Planetary alarms are going crazy!" Falcon said in a shocked voice.
"Sounds like we missed a party. What happened?" Tony asked.
"That happened!" Falcon replied by pointing towards a machine in the middle of New York.
"He has returned, Avengers! The Devourer of Worlds! Galactus!" Thor said while seeing the Galactus.
"And he's already past the appetizer stage. Avengers, we've got less than five minutes before Galactus powers up his munch-o-tron and sucks all the energy from Earth." Iron Man explained as he noticed Galactus was going on the next stage.
"It means, if we don't stop him now, hehehe there will be nothing left," Ben said, he asked, "So what's the plan?"
"I've prepared a strategy specifically to deal with his return," Captain America answered. He gives command to Thor, "Thor, summon every electron within a hundred kilometers. One bolt, make it count."
Then Steve turned towards Hawkeye, "Hawkeye, break out the heavy artillery." Then he turned towards Tony, "Tony, route all uni-bram power…"
But before he completed his sentence, he was cut by Tony, "Captain, I never told you this, but I only went along with your Galactus prep drills because I thought he'd never come back. Now that he's here…"
"Oh, no. You are not going rogue. The entire planet is at stake! We need to act as a team!" Captain explained his reason.
"And hopefully, you will. Ben you come with me, and make Galactus fall asleep," Tony said, as he flew away from there, Ben followed him back by saying to the team, "Wheeewww, good luck Avengers, hehehe." He also flew towards the Galactus.
"Jarvis locked onto the Galactus data stream, Ben tried to go inside his ship, when he attacked me, you made him fall asleep." Tony gives his command, Ben goes inside the ship by hiding, while Tony starts the conversation with Galactus.
Seeing that Tony was disturbing him, Galactus released a beam from his eyes, which hit Tony, then he told him, "Few have attained direct communication with Galactus. You are unlikely to survive."
"Galactus, you need to think about the seven billion other people on this planet who aren't going to fare any better." Iron Man shouted back on him.
"Forget about them, Galactus' hunger is more important than them, and Galactus will feed them," Galactus argued back, but at the same time, Ben started flying around him.
"Tehehehe, sleep Galactus, sleep, you need a good sleep, wheeewww," Ben shouted as he spread the Sleep Dust all over the Galactus face, causing the Galactus to sleep down. But at the same time Tony did something, and Tony, Ben and Galactus with his ship all disappeared from the place.
The Avenjet comes towards them, they see Iron Man, and Ben disappearing with the Galactus.
"Tony, Ben, no," Thor shouted, but they weren't able to do anything.
"That was his plan?" Hawkeye asked.
"Iron Man and Ben have Perished? This cannot be!" Thor shouted.
"Why is he always pulling these crazy moves and not telling us?" Hawkeye questioned.
"This was his style, but this time he also took Ben," Hulk said.
"Do you all think he actually sacrificed himself and Ben for saving the earth," Captain asked.
"Don't say that. Jarvis! Replay event from onboard recorders." Falcon said, as he brought back everyone's attention towards him. "Extreme slo-mo. Full-spectrum enhancement!"
They noticed again that Iron Man and Ben vanished together with Galactus after making him sleep.
"See. He evaporated," Hawkeye said.
"No, he didn't evaporate, he teleported with everyone. Tony's armor has a built-in travel frequency. Micro pings that only we can track. Even across light years." Falcon explained, and they all went in for hyperspace travel.

In space, Avengers noticed, the group of millions of Aliens were evacuated somewhere. There they find Galactus' vessel, and go towards it. But they were attacked by another big ship, and the big ship pulled the Avenjet inside their ship.
Inside the ship, they are confronted by the Guardian of Galaxy. Star-Lord explained they are evacuating the ten Billion D'Bari species.
"We're here to find our missing teammates, not to interfere in your matters," Captain explained.
Then they go and find out that Tony has brought Ben and Galactus to the D'Bari planet.
"Hello, Tony, Ben, what is happening here?" Steve asked Tony and Ben.
"Tehehehe, Thanks for coming here, but now we need to go away from here," Ben said while surrounding them.
"Why, you bring Galactus to this planet?" Star-Lord asked Tony.
"It was because D'bari's planet had already become unstable; even before Galactus arrived. So the Galactus' arrival will make the D'Bari people escape." Tony explained his reason for bringing the Galactus here.
"Wheeewww, And the same time planet's explosion will give so much energy to Galactus, that he is not able to consume it, and will fall asleep for many years," Ben explained, and when they noticed the planet was going to explode, they flew away from there.
After they repaired the Avenjet, after saying goodbye to Guardian of Galaxy, Captain America tells Star-Lord that he hopes that their paths cross again. They returned back towards the Earth.

After a few days, the Avengers were going towards a place, to search for Cabal's members. It happened because Cabal had stolen the Tesseract, and after it, they just vanished. This was the first time they knew a little bit of information about the Cabal.
"Widow, you sure your tip was accurate," Hawkeye asked, looking towards the scene, he continued, "This place is emptier than Hulk's head."
"It is the S.H.I.E.L.D tip. It's the first place we trashed and the last place we looked," Black Widow explained.
"Stop talking. After Cabal gets Tesseract, the first time we get some information, we need to search it every place," Captain America said.
"Listen to uncle cap, he is right. Who knows what weapon they've supercharged with its cosmic energy," Tony said while flying around, he continued "Jarvis broadened my infra-reds. Skull not catching me with my iron pants down again."
"Supercharged? Tesseract can do it," Falcon asked in amazement.
"Yes, Tesseract is a mass of energy, with it it can do many glorious and terrible feats," Thor replied.
"Wheeewww, wheeewww, hehehehehe," Ben was flying here and there, "I think there they were, hehehehe," he pointed towards a big bunker. And they all go towards it.
Inside the bunker, a portal opened, with the help of Tesseract, Modok, Dracula, Attuma and Hyperion came out with some Atlantean's and some A.I.M soldiers.
"Why Modok, why did you bring the Attuma in this Frozen place? Reply to me, or I know how to make you talk," Attuma questioned Modok.
"Not for listening to your rubbish talk, bloated puffer fish," Modok said, then he did something with a device, and a container came out from the ground. Inside the container was Iridium.
"Iridium? Interesting!" Hyperion chuckled.
"More than interesting, Hyperion! It is the keystone to our success," Modok explained, as he was going to take it, suddenly Avengers came, where they attacked on the Cabal.
Ben was going towards the Hyperion, because only Hyperion is easy for him, but before he reached there, Attuma with Tesseract powers weapon, attacked on the Hulk.
Hulk collided with Falcon, and both by breaking the bunker, started falling outside, Avengers goes first to save them, while Cabal gets the Iridium and they open a portal and fly away from there.
Falcon was falling down from the sky, and since Hulk was also on him, he wasn't able to leave. Both of them collided on the ground.
When the team reaches, Falcon was already knocked out, after they bring him, although he was safe from critical harm due to all the attack taken by the suit, but he goes in the Koma.
Seeing the Falcon was injured with his decision, Tony decided to take a strict action on himself, "Listen Avengers. Effectively Immediately. I'm stepping down as leader of the Team."
"Do you think this is really the time for that, Tony?" Captain asked, looking at him with an awkward expression.
"What time for that?" Tony asked back.
"The 'woe is me' routine," Hawkeye mocked.
"Hulk will become leader," Hulk shouted, making every Avengers stare at him. He continued, "What, you all never understand."
"Today's already been full of so many surprises, that my brain literally cannot comprehend the words coming out of your mouth," Hawkeye said to Hulk.
"Can it comprehend my first?" Hulk shouted as he pointed his punches towards Hawkeye.
"Stop, all of this joke," Black Widow tried to calm the situation.
"I will become the leader, leader position only suits the son of Asgard," Thor shouted.
Hulk and Thor were just going to fight, but stopped when Ben started flying around them, "Wheeewww, I will become leader, I am stronger than all of you, I can make you fall asleep, and also feel your dreams with pain, hehehe," He pointed his fist in sky position and decided.
Hulk and Thor quickly surrender, they have first hand experience of Ben's dream torture. After some bickering, it is decided, Ben will become the leader, Tony will give the support from his room.
