--Sanctum Sactorum--

"So, you must be Tony Stark?" Strange asked, holding a glass of wine.

"Yes, I am. Before we start, may I talk to my colleagues here?" Tony said, looking at both Thor and Bruce. They both stood up and walked over to Tony and Peter.

"Who's the kid?" Bruce asked.

" 'Kid's a hero who took care of New York while both of you were wandering around space."

"We weren't wandering. We were looking for the Infinity Stones that are in space." Thor said.

"Ok, do you still have the Tesseract?"

"Loki has it," Bruce said before Thor could get a word out of his mouth.

"You couldn't take care of a stone."

"Long story, for another time." Thor said.

Everyone took a seat on the table where Doctor Strange was sitting. Tony was thinking in his mind, 'how could a god not take care of an Infinity Stones?' Peter noticed that the hair on his elbows were rising. He wondered if the house was really magical.

"So, all of you may know what an Infinity Stone is, but for Stark, I'll be explaining it since I can feel he does not understand," Tony looked surprised that a person can do that, besides Wanda.

"How do you know?" Tony asked

"I am a sorcerer, Mr. Stark, I'm unpredictable in everything I do. Before the universe ever exploded, there were six powerful sources that were forged into stones; all of which include the Power, Reality, Space, Mind, Soul and Time Stone, which I have." Strange said.

"So you have a stone around here. Well, we have one of them on an android."

"That must be the Mind Stone?"

"Yes, it is. In a few days, we will be going to space to find the 4 stones that are lost," Thor said.

"We are?" Tony felt confused.

"Yes, that is the only way to know that they are safe."

"You must know, I feel a dark force coming to Earth and destroying us all. We must know their exact location and how trustworthy the owners are." Strange said.

"Ok, Strange, but will you be joining us on our quest?" Tony asked.

"Of course, you must need my mystic powers to take on whatever is in our way. Meet me on Wednesday."

"Ok, nice meeting. Thanks for giving us a history lesson. Let's go outside."

Tony, Thor, Bruce and Peter went outside the sanctorum and into the streets of New York. "So, what next?" Tony asked.

"We must get ready for our adventure; it will be dangerous." Thor said.

"Kid, your aunt going to let you join us?"

"I'll try my best to persuade her. Don't think she'll let me though," Peter said, letting out a sigh.

"Kid, this will be a learning experience. We're getting a tour in space."

"Ok then. I'll just message you, Mr. Stark." Peter then started walking to the alleyway with his bag.

"Kid, where you going?" Tony asked.

"I'll be using my suit, Mr. Stark. See ya," Peter changed and swung his way around New York, "I wonder why my hair rose."

--Wakanda--

All Steve could think of last night, was how many superheroes the world was producing. There were the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the new group who calls themselves the Defenders. He knew the more heroes, the more villains- and chaos will be brought to the world. He heard a knock on his door that finally made him get up.

"Steve, time for breakfast," Sam said knocking on his door.

"I'll be out in a second," Steve got his shirt from his closet and went outside to the cafeteria.

"All of you seem upset," Sam telling the group.

"We're running from the law, Sam, there's nothing we can do," Natasha said taking a drink from her coffee.

"When did you blonde your hair?" Steve said getting some bacon and eggs.

"Yesterday. Can't you believe I still had time to actually blond my hair?"

"I just want to kick some ass again and send criminals to jail," Clint said.

"If you try to do that, they'll be putting you to jail, Clint," Wanda said with a sad voice.

"Have you been ok for the past few days?" Steve asked.

"Partially," Wanda said, poking at her food.

"Steve, I got something you've got to see," T'challa said at the doors of the cafeteria.

Steve walked to the medic bay to see T'challa. He usually goes there to check on Bucky and what his progress is in recovery. "What is it, T'challa? Steve asked.

"We will be letting him out now. He has recovered enough, and the memories of him as a Winter Soldier has been removed, his latest memory is of you and him fighting Tony."

"About his arm, will we leave him with no arm?" T'challa went over to a box and opened it, showing Steve a complete robotic arm. The chamber began to open and Bucky stepped out.

"Steve, is that you?" Bucky asked.

"Glad to see you again, old pal." Steve said with tears coming out of his eyes.
