(Now I'm ready to start Infinity Wars)
It's been two years since that time. Mary is still an Avenger and Clint is still returned to dad duties and training a now two-year-old Clark Barton control of his banshee screams. Mary helps, too, when she's not on missions or if Katie and Elijah don't have her at the river behind Laura and Henry's house. Right now, Bruce us with Tony and a wizard called Dr. Strange. He missed out what happened two years ago.
"Call him," Bruce says in reference to Steve.
"It's not that easy," Tony replies. "God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we?"
"No," Bruce replies. He's spoken to Mary but that was when she told him that she was reunited with Bucky, her brother.
"The Avengers broke up," Tony replies. "We're toast,"
"Broke up?" Bruce frowns. "Like a band? Like The Beatles?"
"Cap and I fell out... hard," Tony states. "We're not on speaking terms."
"Tony, listen to me," Bruce urges. "Thor is gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not."
Tony hesitates before he pulls out the cellphone that Steve sent him two years ago after that whole ordeal. He mutters 'flip phone' in distaste. He clicks clicks call and he hears unusual sounds.
"Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?" Tony asks.
Doctor Strange tries to look up at one his his stray hairs. "... not at the moment, no."
Tony looks at the ceiling and sees metal scraps flying outside. He exits the Sanctum and scans the chaotic surroundings before helping a woman up.
"You okay?" Tony asks but she ignores him and runs away; a car crashes into the pole behind him. "Help him! Wong, Doc!
"Go! Got it!" Bruce urges.
Tony puts his sunglasses on. "F.R.I.D.A.Y., what am I looking at?" He asks.
"Not sure, working on it," F.R.I.D.A.Y. answers.
"Hey!" Tony calls out to Strange. "You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, a doc!"
"Might wanna use it," Strange replies.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y., evac anyone south of 43rd Street," Tony instructs. "Notify first responders."
"Will do," FRIDAY replies.
Doctor Strange stops the ship above's engine. The dust clears. Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf exit the ship and go to the ground.
"Her me, and rejoice," Ebony Maw says. "You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to..."
"I'm sorry, Earth is closed today," Tony says. "You better pack it up and get outta here."
Ebony Maw looks at Strange. "Stone keeper... does this chattering animal speak for you?"
"Certainly not," Strange replies. "I speak for myself. But you're trespassing in this city and on this planet."
"It means get lost, Squidward!" Tony belts out.
"He exhausts me," Ebony Maw claims. "Bring me the stone."
"Banner, you want a piece?" Tony asks.
"No, not really," Bruce replies, "but when do I ever get what I want?"
"That's right," Tony remarks,
Bruce attempts to release Hulk. Instead of Hulk coming out easily, the most that turns green is Bruce's neck.
