"Tony Stark,"
Tony looked up from his cup of coffee he was drinking to see a portal with sparks around it. In front of the portal, a man with black hair with gray on the sides, stood. He wore blue robes and a red cloak laid on his shoulders.
"My name is Doctor Stephen Strange and I need you to come with me."
Tony's P.O.V
"At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing," A man who I learned was named Wong, began.
"Then, boom. The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe. These infinity stones each control a central aspect of existence." Wong finished but not long after Strange picked up where he left off.
The blue stone that was in the circle of stones shined brighter, "Space."
Then the red, "Reality."
Purple, "Power."
Orange, "Soul."
Yellow, "Mind."
"And time," Strange spoke, before opening the necklace around his neck revealing a green glowing stone.
My face remained expressionless as I turned my gaze back to my science bro, "Tell me his name again." I demanded more than asked as I stood up from my spot on a bench.
"Thanos. He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets. He takes what he wants. He wipes out half of the population. He sent Loki," Bruce pauses as my movements comes to a halt.
"The attack on New York, that's him." He added.
I felt my blood run cold as my vision that Wanda gave me flashes through my mind.
"This is it." I whispered while nodding. "What's our timeline?" I questioned as I began pacing again.
"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..." Bruce's rant cuts short, but Strange continues it as I stretch and lean on a cauldron.
"He could destroy life on a scale hitherto to undreamt of."
"Did you seriously just say 'hitherto to undreamt of'?"
"Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?"
"Is that what it is-" My sentence is interrupted by Strange hitting me with his cloak making me stand up straight and look back at him.
"I'm going to allow that," I taunt, "If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?" I suggested.
"No can do." Strange objects shaking his head.
"We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone with our lives." Wong chimes in.
"And I swore an oath off dairy but then Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so..." I gloated.
"Stark Raving Hazelnuts." Strange murmurs without looking up.
"It's not bad."
"A bit chalky."
"A Hunk of Hulk of Burning Fudge is our favorite." Wong stated.
"That's a thing?"
"Whatever. Point is, things change." I say getting back on topic.
