The air is cold on the moon of Saturn as Thanos arrives home and is addressed by his daughter Nebula...
"Did you get it?" Thanos looks at her with a smile...
"You doubt me daughter!"
"Not at all, but it is the hometown of The Avengers," Thanos' smile fades as he faces his daughter with an expressionless face...
"Remember who you are addressing child, I have no reason to fear The Avengers, they should fear me, I'm going to end this universe and then the next," Nebula stares at her father with guilt...
"Forgive me father, it won't happen again"
"Ensure it does not."

Meanwhile, on Earth, Fury heads out in search of Captain America, he heads into the Brooklyn gymnasium as the sound of pounds emerge from the building. Fury walks into the gym to find Rogers pounding his fists at a punching bag with a pile of destroyed, torn bags lie on the floor next to him.

"I think I'm experiencing deja vu here," says Fury as he walks over to Rogers.
"Don't you knock Fury?" Asks Rogers as he turns to face Fury.
"Oh come now Steve, surely you know me by now." Rogers stares at Fury as he unfolds his hand tape...
"What do you want Fury?" Fury drops all facial expression as he explains the situation to Steve...
"We have a problem, we had a very powerful piece of alien technology that's been stolen, it's power is strong Steve, strong enough to destroy this universe and the next, and the guy who took it plans on doing just that," Rogers looks at Fury with curiosity...
"Who took it?" Asks Rogers as Fury starts walking off...
"I'll explain later, but right now you have an important mission of your own, you have to get the team back together and you exactly where to start," Rogers looks at Fury and sighs...
"Stark."

"And that is why I'm rich and popular and your you," the cocky words of Tony Stark as he addresses his best friend James Rhodes...
"Tony I can't thank you enough, this is unbelievable," the grateful words of Rhodes as he walks over to Stark with joy on his face.
"Well that's a sign of a miracle," says Rogers as he walks into Starks penthouse above Stark Tower...
"It's called science Rogers and I don't remember inviting you," says Tony as he turns to speak to Steve...
"How'd you get Rhodes to walk again?"
"It's called a biometric implant that I've implanted into his spine, and just to think I wouldn't need to if it wasn't for you Rogers," Tony stares with cruel eyes at Rogers as if to stare right into his soul.
"Stark I know you hate me right now but we have a bigger problem, Fury spoke to me and he told me that someone had stolen a piece of alien tech that is powerful enough to destroy this universe and the next, it's one job Tony, please I can't do this without you," Stark turns to Rhodes then to Rogers...
"Fine but it's for the universe not you,"

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D, Thor and Barry wait the return of Fury...
"So Azgard is where you're from?" Asks Barry to Thor...
"Yes"
"And you have a magic portal that can take you anywhere?"
"Yes," Barry let's out a huge sigh and says...
"That is so awesome," Thor looks at Barry and shakes his head...
"Is everyone in your universe this annoying?" Barrys mouth drops as if to show he's insulted. Just then Fury walks through the door...
"Ready to go ladies?" With much excitement, Barry leaps up...
"Oh hell yes," Fury looks at Thor...
"Let's go," Thor raises his hammer in the air and in a matter of seconds the three men find themselves surrounded by a white beacon of light, Barry, now terrified, closes his eyes and covers his head. The men find themselves standing on the rainbow bridge of Azgard...
"Ok ladies let's go," Thor and Fury both their way to the gate keepers lair followed by Barry who looks around everywhere in shock...
"This is amazing," Fury grabs Barry and brings him towards the gate entrance to his world...
"Let's go Thor," the three men enter the gate and are immediately transported to Central City.

"Oh it is so good to be home, nothing feels more like home than the weirdness of your own world," Fury turns to both men and says...
"Ok Allen, surely you know of other heroes in your world besides Superman?" Barry answers Fury...
"Ya I have buddies in Star City that will be of much help"
"Good you and Thor will head there now, in the meantime I'm gonna head to Metropolis to find Superman, DO NOT draw attention to yourself," Barry with much respect says...
"You can count on us Fury,"
"We will meet at the Central City docks later," says Fury. The three men depart ways, meanwhile on Saturns moon...
