Cindy and I were having coffee at a bagel shop.  It's been almost three years since Steve, Sam, and Natasha went rogue, and I haven't seen them since.  Most of us didn't pick sides during the "Civil War" as people are calling it, except for Riri who sided with Tony, no surprise there.  Anyways, it's been a nice, sunny morning, just spending time with my girlfriend.  That is, until some weird circle that looked like it was made of sparks appeared under us, and we fell into some dark, creepy mansion.

Leek: What the hell?

Cindy and I tensed up, standing back to back.

Tony: Calm down, you two.

I turned to the voice, and Tony was sitting on a couch in the corner of the room.  And next to him was...

Leek: Bruce?

Bruce: In the flesh.

I walked over and hugged him.

Tony: And this here is Professor Strange.

He gestured at a man wearing a weird red cape, a big golden necklace shaped like an eye, and some kind of spiritual looking outfit.

Dr. Strange: Nice to meet you two, my name is DOCTOR Steven Strange.

I shook his hand, still not having any idea who the hell this guy is.  Then he explained that he was a "master of the mystic arts" and now I'm even more confused.

Bruce: We were telling Tony about some intergalactic tyrant named Thanos, and-

Leek: Did you just say Thanos?  Big purple guy, weird chin, obsessed with wiping out half of all life?

Bruce: Uh... yeah, that's him.

Leek: Is he here?  On Earth?

Bruce: Not yet.  He's gathering what he called the "Infinity Stones".

Dr. Strange explained to us what the Infinity Stones were, and what they were capable of if they were all used together.

Cindy: Leek, do you know him?

Leek: I've... witnessed what Thanos is capable of, and I've seen the power some of those stupid rocks contain.  He is NOT someone you want on this planet, under any circumstances.  Unfortunately, I have a feeling that one of the Infinity Stones is in our friend's head.

There was an explosion outside, and a loud humming sound that I knew all too well.

Leek: Me and my big mouth.

I teleported outside, to find Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian in the street, ripping the buildings apart.

Maw: Rejoice!  For you shall be granted the honor of dying to the hands of Tha-

I shot an energy blast at him but a chunk of concrete rose from the road, blocking it.  He glared at me, recognizing me.

Leek: Hey, Maw!  Long time no see!

I fired another shot at him, making sure to use as little power as possible.

Maw: Why are you here, Saiyan?

Leek: Well, Maw, if you must know, I've settled down.  I'm done doing your precious leader's dirty work.  So now, I have a proposition.  Actually, it's more of an ultimatum.  Either leave now...

I powered up to Super Saiyan 3.

Leek: Or die screaming.  Your choice.

He started laughing, and I walked towards him.

Maw: Please, as if you could even touch me.  You were the weakest member of the Black Order, and you think you can-

He was cut off by me appearing in front of him, and punching him in the stomach, sending him flying down the street.  Cull swung his hammer at me, but I just grabbed it and crushed it with one hand.
