Tony Stark is known to be a lot of things; no one would ever image that being a father was one of them. Before he was Iron Man, and before he was CEO of Stark Industries; he was just a father to his little girl.

A MAD TITAN SUDDENLY APPEARS from a ripple of black that tears through the orange sky. His dark eyes slowly skate across the desolate landscape that stretches out in every direction around him, searching, searching, always searching for them. Thunder and lightning cracks through the desolate planet before his eyes. The titan's wandering gaze finally comes to a sharp stop when it finds that a confident man with a maroon cloak sits comfortably across from them.
"Oh yeah." Stephen slowly hums out, studying the titan, "You're much more of a Thanos,"
"I take it that the Maw is dead... This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, they accomplished their mission," Thanos says.
"You may regret that," Stephen threatens casually, "They brought you face to face with the Master of the Mystic Arts."
The titan moves closer to the two, "Where so you think they brought you?"
"Let me guess." Stephen lowly says, "Your home?"
"It was," Thanos quietly concedes and then the reality stone hums within the gauntlet.
Then the world around them changes to something from long ago, lush and green and populated.
"And it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets: too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution,"
"Genocide?" Stephen offers in disgusted disbelief.
"At random." Thanos confirms so plainly, seeing nothing wrong with what he wanted, "Dispassionate, fair. For rich and poor alike. And they called me a madman..." the world is pulled back into reality, dusty, and devastated, "And what I predicted came to past."
"Congratulations, you're a prophet." Stephen spits out with narrowed eyes.
"I'm a survivor,"
"Who wants to murder trillions!"
"With all six Stones, I could simply snap my fingers," he raises his hand and then does as he says, "And it would all cease to exist. I call that... mercy,"
Stephen slowly stands and takes a few steps down the platform, "And then that?"
"I finally rest. And watch the sunrise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills." Thanos says.
Stephen swiftly brings his hands together and then his hands are glowing with power once more, "I think you'll find our will equals to yours."
