[Cut to Vormir, where Thanos and Gamora have just appeared outside a mountain]

Gamora tenses 

Thanos: The stone had better be up there...For your sister's sake.

(Cut to inside the mountain where Thanos and Gamora stand before a cloaked, faceless figure there to guard the way)

"That looks like a dementor" Remus says 

"I'm scared" Sirius pouts and Remus rolls his eyes and hugs him 

"I'm scared too Reg" James pouts and fakes a shiver 

"I don't care" Regulus says bluntly 

People laugh at the interaction

Stonekeeper: Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros. Gamora, daughter of Thanos.

Thanos: You know us?

Stonekeeper: It is my curse to know all who journey here.

Thanos: Where's the Soul Stone?

Stonekeeper: You should know...It extracts a terrible price.

Everyone is dreading what is coming next 

Thanos: I am prepared.

Stonekeeper: We all think that at first. (The figure glides farther out of the shadows and reveals the face of who we know to be Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger) We are all wrong.

Steve and Bucky tense and look at the screen in shock everyone else looks confused

"What's wrong capsicle?" Tony asks

"That's red skull, the one we fought during the war" Bucky answers him 

"That's him!" Antonio asks 

"That doesn't make sense"  

(Cut to the Red Skull leading Thanos and Gamora to an outside pinnacle)

Thanos: How is it you know this place so well?

Red Skull: A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here. Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.

(They come to the edge of mountaintop, and stop at the precipice)

Red Skull: What you seek lies before you. As does what you fear.

Thanos: What's this?

Red Skull: The price. Soul hold a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say it has a certain wisdom.

Thanos: Tell me what it needs.

Red Skull: To ensure that whoever possesses it... Understands its power... The stone demands a sacrifice.

Quill tenses and holds onto Gamora 

Thanos: Of what?

Red Skull: In order to take the stone you must lose that which you love. A soul...For a soul.

Everyone gasps 

(Gamora begins to laugh at the irony of the situation)

Gamora: All my life, I dreamed of a day...A moment when you would get what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now...You kill and torture...And you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize, and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one.
