Snake Eyes immediately assessed the situation. He stood in the middle of a green field. Shots and explosions were heard nearby near houses and lakes. Someone was standing behind of silent ninja. Snake Eyes jumped back and turned around. He saw the titan Thanos.
Snake Eyes didn't know who it was, but he sensed that he was not a friend.
“LOOK OUT!” Someone yelled.
A red car flew over Snake Eyes. Deadpool, Cable, Psylocke and Domino jumped out of it. Cable and girls shot at Thanos from different directions.
“Holy shit. What a cool mask!” Deadpool admired, noticing Snake Eyes. “Did you buy it on Ali Express”
Snake Eyes didn't answer.
“Wade, you better help or take the civilian away!” Cable shouted.
“Have you seen his mask?!” Deadpool pointed at Snake Eyes.
Snake Eyes took out his black katana and jumped over Thanos.
Thanos stopped twitching and fell in half. His body evaporated.
“DID YOU SEE IT?!” Deadpool shouted.
“He used the same trick I did when I first got here,” Psylocke answered.
Snake Eyes noticed that Thanos' blood on the sword had also disappeared. He turned to X-Force and gestured to introduce himself and ask what was going on here.
“We are in a dimension unknown to us, friend,” said Cable. “My name is Cable. These beauties are called Domino and Psylocke”
“Hey!” said Deadpool.
“And Deadpool. He's good, but he's difficult”
“We’ll continue the conversation at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters,” said Psylocke. “A new batch is approaching”
Cable, Psylocke, Domino and Deadpool ran towards the red car. Snake Eyes noticed purple lightning in the sky. People jumped out of the flying bus.
This world seemed very strange to Snake Eyes. But he was not surprised, because he had seen a lot in his life.
***
The flying car landed on the Helicarrier of S.H.I.E.L.D. . There they were met by Tony Stark and Captain America.
“New guy,” Tony noted. “But not from our world”
“His name is Snake Eyes,” said Cable. “He helped us in the battle against Thanos”
“Not for long,” said Captain America. “But we accept any help. Welcome aboard, soldier,” the Captain saluted.
Snake Eyes saluted too.
“Glitter,” Tony rolled his eyes. “Another military man”
Snake Eyes was brought to the bridge, where there were Black Panther, Black Widow, Blade, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Doctor Doom, Ghost Rider, Groot, She-Hulk, Mystique, Silver Surfer, Storm, Taskmaster, Thor, Venom and Wolverine.
Seeing Black Widow, Snake Eyes thought it was Scarlett. But she turned out to be different: she had flowing darker red hair and a white uniform.
“Our mute friend Snake Eyes wants to know where we are,” said Cable.
“We all want to know, my friend,” Thor replied. “This world - the Nexus - is something like a gladiatorial arena. Someone is looking for the best fighters from different worlds and sending them here”
Snake Eyes noticed on one of the monitors a bodybuilder with the head of a cat and a banana man with machine guns. He is sure that his friends will not believe what he saw.
“And why should he be with us?” - asked Wolverine. “He is not from our Universe”
“I agree,” Thor stood up, “but I have a feeling that his world is somehow connected with ours.”
“It’s like a piece of our Universe has returned,” agreed the Silver Surfer.
Snake Eyes did not feel same way and assumed that he reminded them of someone. Maybe the Universe was testing him.
Captain America resembled Duke, Tony - Flint, and Black Widow - Scarlett. Even Doctor Doom was a mix of Destro and Cobra Commander.
Snake Eyes took out his smartphone and showed a group photo of G.I. Joe. Captain America took a closer look and said:
“No, we didn't see them”
“But this redhead is hot,” Tony smiled.
Snake Eyes took the smartphone and turned it off. He hoped that Scarlett would not come to this world.
“And how can he help us?” Doctor Doom asked in an authoritative tone. “He is not a titan and not God! We must kick him out of our area!”
“As if our plan is working,” said Captain Marvel.
“Yes!” Deadpool agreed. “Who the idiot came up with the idea that only the heroes of our Universe live here?! If we had followed my plan, we would all be home!”
Everyone looked at Deadpool like he was a desperate idiot.
“For the first time I regret that Bullseye is not here,” Taskmaster whispered. “He would have finished him off for the day.”
“Your genius plan is to give everyone your costumes and have a burrito and taco party here?” - asked Wolverine to Deadpool.
“This is a brilliant plan to make friends!” Deadpool exclaimed.
“Only our dumb friend joined us without your costumes,” reminded Domino.
Snake Eyes signed that he would help them, but would not wear the Deadpool costume. Deadpool sadly sat down on a chair.
“This is my place,” Venom’s eyes appeared on the chair.
Deadpool squealed and jumped.
“Yeah, we have fun here,” She-Hulk said to Snake Eyes.
“I Am Groot,” Groot added.
“And this is Groot. He only knows three words. And he's harmless”
Groot reminded the Autobot from Griffin Rock. He was also big and caring.
“Does anyone know when the new portion of beer will drop?” Rocket came with a can of beer. - “This emo again threw a tantrum out of nowhere”
Snake Eyes pointed at him, trying to figure out why the raccoon was talking with Bradley Cooper's voice.
“This is Rocket,” She-Hulk answered. “He's Groot's friend”
“Ah, new guy,” Rocket took a sip. “Wonderful. Welcome to the Nexus, buddy. And you're dead.
Rocket took aim at Snake Eyes.
Wolverine immediately stood between the ninja and the raccoon and shouted “No” with the others. Groot grabbed Rocket.
“He's on our side!” said Ghost Rider.
“Since when do we recruit allies from other worlds?” asked Rocket. “I thought it was every world for itself.”
“As it turns out, Tony and Doom’s plan didn’t work,” Captain Marvel crossed her arms and looked at Tony.
Tony drank the juice.
“Talk to Cap for a plan” he said. “And welcome... whatever his name is”
“Snake Eyes,” said Psylocke.
“ Snake Eyes! I wouldn’t be surprised if he wears persings behind that mask,” Tony left.
Snake Eyes rolled his eyes. He heard similar things from Scarlett's mother.
“Welcome to the team, Snake Eyes,” Captain America shook his hand.
“What do you want?!” yelled Finn.
“Recruit into our team so that we can return home,” said Rocket.
“Listen to us, friend,” said Thor. “Together we can help each other to escape from this Universe”
“Will you take Kylo too?” Finn asked.
Behind him, Wolverine and Snake Eyes fought against hysterical Kylo Ren.
“We’ll see,” said Mystique. “Otherwise, he and Rey have big ego problems”
