Hulk slowly turns back into Bruce and crashes into the sanctum sanctorium. Dr Strange and Wong turn to see him, making their magic appear and turning into their normal fighting attire. "Thanos is coming. He's coming" Bruce says

"Who?" Strange asks. Bruce gets himself up and strange finds him some clothes as he explains the situation. They decide to go and seek the avengers help. Strange creates a portal to where Tony is. He walks through seeing Tony and Pepper where they walk through the park and says, "Tony Stark, I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way"

"I'm sorry, you giving out tickets or something?" Tony asks

"We need your help. Look, it's not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at stake" Strange begins

"And who's 'we?' Tony asks. Bruce steps from out of the portal nervously fiddling with his sleeves.

"Hey, Tony" he says,

"Bruce" Tony says surprised

"Pepper" Bruce adds

Pepper gently replies with a "Hi.

"You okay?" Tony asks, but Bruce gives Tony a hug, not answering. Tony looks nervously at Strange wondering what has happened.

Back at the Sanctum Sanctorum wong uses magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones. "From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurdling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence"

"Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time" strange says, pointing to all of them as he does so. When he gets to time, he opens up the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone.

"Tell me his name again" Tony orders.

"Thanos. He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population. He sent Loki The attack on New York, that's him. And the titan who destroyed Aloisias planet. That's Thanos Tony!" Bruce says

"Shit" Tony quickly turns back to bruce, "Have you seen Al. I heard she was off world" While Natasha may have been criminal Tony had ended up getting in touch with her. And Tony had repeatedly phoned Aloisia, who had left her phone with Natasha. So the other woman picked up and explained what was going on to Tony.

Bruce nods, "she was with me and Thor. We had to kill Thors sister the Goddess of death, and we were on out way back here when Thanos attacked" Tony pauses.

"Is she alive?" When Tony gets to response he repeats, "Bruce, tell me she is alive"

"I'm sorry tony. I don't know"

"This is it...What's our timeline?"

"No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest creature in the whole universe! If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony..."

"He can destroy life on a scale hither to undreamt of" Strange adds

Tony leans against a cauldron, stretching casually, "Did you seriously just say "hither to undreamt of?"

"Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?"

"Is that what this is...?" Tony wonders, making no effort to move but The Cloak of Levitation smacks Tony, who turns to strange, "I'm going to allow that. If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?"

"No can do"

"We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives"

"And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so..."
