The Second Chance

By Blood and Power

He watches the vast depth of space. Only seeing his conquest and destiny days away. He removes his armor and sits down on his bed. Soft but not firm enough. His head perches up and back down again as he notices a uninvited guest in his quarters.

"I believe your not personally invited here Goddess." Thanos deep voice speaks as he slightly turns his head to the greenish black figure behind him.

"Oh please Mad Titan, you brooding in your room doesn't get us to glory." Hela smirks as he approaches him.

"True as that is I'm a man of my word." He stands and he towers over the Goddess of Death, shrouding over her.

"Well, I suppose you have other thoughts on your mind then?" Hela coyly asks stroking his chest and he let's out a aerie chuckle.

"I must say you are tempting to say the least." He says as he strokes her face. "But what could you possibly offer me?" He suddenly frowns and turns away from her.

"I am a woman of many things but you Thanos, you hide it within. You crave death, worship it, consider it a gift."* She whispers in his ear. "I am truly death."

*This version of Thanos is has some quantities similar to the comic version.

Thanos allows a small smile to be free as he holds her hand.
"I do find it fascinating when they beg for it. The bittersweetness of it enlightens my mood. There is no saving these souls with their existence." He turns to her and sees her twisted smile.

"You've conquered Nine Realms, now you can start another. When I'm done here, you can lead my army across multiple universes and become the Goddess of Death to all." He gives her a golden sword and she slide it into her arm.

"You will be rewarded greatly for this Thanos. Death shall ride with you till time ends."

They kiss. Embracing against each other in a foreign and forbidden dance of love. He feels lust again after all these years and it's power grows on him. She slithers around him like a snake searching to bite it's prey.  She allows herself to be vulnerable around him. They both feel the connection of power and desire with each stroke and kiss. He uses the Reality Stone and they surround themselves in a green field with blood of their enemies pouring around them, their remains on spikes and their bones scattered around decoratively.

"You really know how to make a Goddess feel comfortable." She says with flirtatious smile.

"Anything to satisfy my dark empress." He says as she lies on his chest naked.

"Well then, my heart is yours as well then." She smiles as she holds a heart in her hand kisses the Mad Titan.

He wakes up with the Gaunlet still attached in his hand and Hela forming her dress.

"See you later love." She sinisterly smiles at him and teleports away.

He sits in front of the window and sighs. He felt love after all these years and yet there's always one thing missing. He felt the Goddess of the Death and to him it felt like scripture. A woman he can truly love and desire for centuries to come. Her long Raven hair, her emerald eyes, her sleek skin, and her dark heart made him warm. But right now it wasn't a time to reminisce about love, just death. He uses the time stone to see the near future and squints his eyes.

"Is that so?"

He uses the soul stone to track a few certain individuals and a sinister grin creeps across his face.

"You have already doomed them."

He engages the soul and mind stone.

"Time for some mind games." He grins.
