ALEX AND TONY RAN THROUGH A SMALL PARK, NEVER LEAVING A LIGHT JOG AS THEY CHATTED. TONY CAUGHT Alex up with everything that had happened since she was gone, his main focus being Pepper.

"So, let me get this straight, you had a dream she got pregnant?"

"Yep. So vivid."

"My dreams are vivid too, but never involving children. You should look that up. Maybe it means something."

"I think it means it's time to have a mini genius, billionaire, playboy--"

Tony's words were cut off by a familiar orange portal opening up in front of them.

"Tony Stark, I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me."

Dr. Strange then looked to Alex.

"Alex, I'm sorry about the turn of events that have happened regarding Loki."

"Thanks, Dumbledore. Means a lot." She deadpanned.

"I'm sorry, are you giving out tickets or something? Alex, you know this guy?" Tony was beyond confused.

"Sort of. Not really. He can see time, though."

"Time is a construct, I cannot 'see'--"

"Not now." Alex held her hand up.

While Dr. Strange was absolutely appalled she had just spoken to him this way, he sighed and simply shook his head.

"We need your help. Look, it's not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at stake."

"Who's we?" Tony rose an eyebrow.

Suddenly, Bruce emerged from behind Dr. Strange in the portal. Once his eyes set on Alex, he hastily embraced her.

"How the hell did you get off that ship?" He asked.

"I have my ways."

"Hey, Tony." Bruce spoke.

"You okay?" Tony asked before being caught off guard by Bruce hugging him.

They stepped through the portal, and they were back in the building Alex remembered from before Sakaar. They met an accomplice of Dr. Strange, who went by the name 'Wong'. The place was torn up, from the stairs being broken in half to battered books lying around.

"Love what you've done with Hogwarts." Alex said to Dr. Strange, who rolled his eyes.

Tony sat on what might be the ugliest couch in New York while Wong spoke:

"From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurdling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence."
