When they went up against Giant-Man, Vance got hit a couple of times. Not enough to keep him out of the fight, but enough that his bell was definitely rung. And his reactions weren't the fastest at the moment.

Still, between Danny, Wash and Ray, he has time to plant himself between them and the portal, expanding out his telekinetic shield to cover the front of the portal, shoring it up as best he could.

"He's right, Worldmind." Luckily, he could hold a conversation even with a headache. "I mean. It's not like I don't get it. You lost so much with the loss of Xandar and the Nova Corps. And with the Annihilation Wave. You and Rich both saw so much senseless death and destruction."

Appealing to Rich wouldn't help. They knew that Rich was in there and fighting. But the Worldmind was...immense. Even the strongest minds would have trouble fighting against that on their own. Rich was strong. The Worldmind was stronger.

"Look around you, Worldmind. Look into Rich's mind." He makes a sweeping gesture to the world around them. "Nobody is happy here. All that there is here is death and more death. Life doesn't have value here." A pause, then, "I know what it's like to not want to lose anybody else, Worldmind. But this isn't the way."
