(Third person pov)

Thanos came through some type of portal, like he teleported or something, and stood in the middle of the ruins of what Nova guessed was once a beautiful planet once upon a time long ago.

He took a couple of slow steps forward before stopping and looking around.

From where she was hiding, Nova swapped uneasy glances with Peter.

Something told her this wasn't going to end well and her heart was pounding against her ribcage as she waited for the signal.

"Oh yeah", said Strange, announcing his presence to Thanos. "You're much more of a Thanos."

"I take it the Maw is dead", said Thanos and Strange nodded. "This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission."

"You may regret that", said Strange. "He brought you face- to- face with the Master of th Mystical Arts."

"And where do you think he brought you?", Thanos asked taking slow steps towards Strange.

"Let me guess", said Strange. "Your home?"

"It was", Thanos corrected him, stopping in his tracks. He clenched his fist he had the glove on and used the reality stone to show everyone what it used to look like. "And it was beautiful."

Nova looked around and she was right. It was once a beautiful planet before it was ruins no doubt at the hands of Thanos himself.

"Titan was like most planets", Thanos continued. "Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution."

"Genocide", Strange stated in question.

"But random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman", said Thanos.

"I wonder why", Nova mumbled quietly to herself.

"And what I predicted came to pass", Thanos finished, and it all disappeared.

"Congratulations, you're a prophet", Strange said with slight sarcasm.

"I'm a survivor", Thanos told him.

"Who wants to murder trillions", Stange added.

"With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers", said Thanos and snapped his fingers of his glove less hand.

Nova made a weird face and mimicked Thanos by pretending to snap her fingers while mouthing his words before rolling her eyes.

"They would all cease to exist and I call that mercy", Thanos told Strange.

"And then what?", Strange asked.

"I'd finally rest...and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe", Thanos explained. "The hardest choices require the strongest wills."

"I think you'll find our will equal to yours", said Strange and he did the cool hand thing again.

"Our?", Thanos asked and looked up just as Tony pushed what looked like an old building onto him from the sky in his Ironman suit.

"Piece of cake, Quill", said Tony.

"Yeah, if your goal was to piss him off", said Quill, coming out from where he was hiding and putting his mask back on.

Thanos yelled and used one of the stones to make the building, or whatever it was Tony pushed onto him, to explode before he used the reality stone to turn the bits left of it into moths or butterflies or something and made them chase Tony.

Peter swung by a shot Thanos in the face with his webs, covering his eyes. Then drax slid by and sliced his knife across Thanos's calves while Strange walked through one of his portals.
