The rainbow light, or more of a beam, that held hulk traveled thousands, if not more, to finally arrive to earth. Where the location was turned out to be none other than New York City. While in the beam, Hulk was changing back into his normal self; Bruce Banner.

A view of the sanctum comes into the scene. "Seriously, you don't have any money?" Doctor Strange begins to speak as a view of both him and Wong is revealed a second later. "Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual." Wong replied they started to walk down the steps towards the door. That's when Strange added "I'll tell the guys at the deli. Maybe they'll make you a metaphysical ham on rye." Wong was just a step or two behind from Strange but he quickly spoke as he checked his pocket "Oh. Wait, wait, wait. I think I have 200." Stephen turned around.

"Dollars?" He asked him as he noticed Wong with something in his hands. "Rupees." Wong replied in an innocent like tone. "Which is?" Strange asked. "Uh, buck and a half." He answered and Strange sighed. "What do you want?" He quipped back After as they continued down a few steps. "I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt." Wong told him and as soon as they were at the last of the steps, the light beam stuck down at the stairs; causing a giant hole to form.

Both Strange and Wong duck down quickly from the flying debris before turning in their places to see what it was. Running back up the stairs, making sure not to fall or trip from any broken pieces, Stephen's cloak flew and wrapped itself right around him. Wong readied himself in case a fight were to break out.

The view now turns and shows a topless Bruce Banner breathing heavily below them in the hole shaped area. "Thanos is coming." Was what he was able to get out through breaths looking at Strange before adding, "He's coming." At this, Strange glances at Wong before replying "Who?" Out of pure confusion.

The view of a park with part of the city from far away now is shown as Stark's voice is heard speaking to his fiancée, Pepper. "Slow down, slow down. I'll spell it out for you."

"You're totally rambling."

He continues "No, I'm not."

"You lost me." She adds

"Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee." He states as the view starts to pan downwards and now reveals the two of them in activewear as they finished exercising. People are seen passing by walking or running from behind them.

"Yeah"

"Okay. And then you're like, 'Oh, my god. There's no bathrooms. What am I gonna do? Oh, someone's watching.'"

"Right."

"Oh, I'm gonna go in my pants."

"And then you wake up in real life and you actually have to pee." Pepper finishes.

"Yes"

"Yeah"

"Ok."

"Everybody has that."

"Right, that's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night I dreamt we had a kid." Tony tells her as they both stopped walking and continued to look at each other. "It was so real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name?"

"Right."

"Morgan! Morgan."

"So you woke up..."

"Naturally."

"...and thought that we were..."

"Expecting."

"Yeah."

"Yes?"

"No." Pepper tells him as she smiles and shakes her head lightly.

"I had a dream about it. It was so real." Tony exclaims.

"If you wanted to have a kid..." Pepper started to say as she started to undo the light sweater he had tied around his shoulders. "You wouldn't have done that." She added as she pointed at the reactor he had displayed on his chest.

"I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing." He admitted as he placed a finger on it and made a little face. "It's just a housing unit for nanoparticles."

"You're not helping your case, ok?"

"No, this is detachable. It's not a..."

"You don't need that." Pepper stated.

"I know, I had the surgery. I'm just trying to protect us... and the future us' and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet. Instead of, you know..."

"Shirts." Pepper says as she tries to suppress a smile as she looks at him and the way he tries to explain it all.

"You know me so well."

She sighs. "God."

"You finish all my sentences."

She shakes him by the arms lightly as she adds "You should have shirts in your closet."

"Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston."

Pepper chuckles softly as she smiles and continues to look at him.

"Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you."

"Yes."

"I will." He replies then kisses Pepper. "Thank you."

Doctor Strange's portal starts to open near them as he interrupts their moment. "Tony Stark." He calls out and both Tony and Pepper break to look at the man. "I'm Dr. Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me." He announces as a view of Strange is revealed and he stops walking.

Tony placed a hand on Pepper's shoulder as he took a step back. Tony had the face of 'what the hell and who the hell are you' while Pepper looked all confused.

"Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way." Strange mentioned looking at Pepper.

"I'm sorry, you giving out tickets to something?"

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

"And who's 'we'?" Tony demands as Bruce then appears from behind Strange; revealing himself to both Tony and Pepper. "Hey, Tony." He says. "Bruce." Tony replies. "Pepper." Bruce added and Pepper just says "Hi." Bruce shakes his head at Tony. "Oh." - "You ok?"




Wong starts to speak as the view now shows Tony sitting on the couch in the sanctum while listening. "At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then... boom." The scene now shows Wong explaining everything through his projection. "The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals... hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence." The stones are shown in front of them. Now it's Strange's turn to speak up as he explains.

"Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time." That's when he looked down at the amulet around his neck as he started to move his hands in a motion to reveal the stone for Tony to see for himself.

"Tell me his name again." Tony finally speaks.

"Thanos. He's a plague, Tony. He invaded planets. He takes what he wants. He wipes out half the population. He sent Loki." Bruce describes to Tony as he gives a look then continues "The attack on New York, that's him."

"This is it." Tony muttered as he looks away slightly before speaking up again. "What's our timeline?"

"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..."

"He could destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of." Strange intercepted to finish Bruce's point to Tony.

"Did you seriously just say 'hitherto undreamt of'?"

"Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?" Strange quipped back.

"Is that what it is?"

Strange's cloak smacks Tony's leaning arm away from the Cauldron; causing him to stand back up in disbelief.

"I'm going to allow that." He admitted towards Strange. "If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?" He then gestured towards the Time Stone that the Dr. had possessed.

"No can do."

"We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone with our lives." Wong stated as he stepped forward towards Tony.

"And I swore off dairy... but then Ben & Jerry's name's a flavor after me, so..."

"Stark Raving Hazelnuts."

"It's not bad."

"A bit chalky."

"A Hunk Of Hulk of Burning Fudge is our favorite." Wong mentioned and Bruce gives him a look.

"That's a thing?" Bruce asked confused

"Whatever. Point is, things change."

"Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. And this stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos."

"Yeah, so conversely, it may also be his best chance against us."

"Well, If we don't do our jobs."

"What is your job exactly? Besides making balloon animals."

"Protecting your reality, douchebag."

"Ok, guys. Could we table this discussion right now? The fact is we have this stone. We know where it is." Bruce announced and the view shows all four of them closely in a square like format conversing. "Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone... and we have to find him now."

"Yeah, that's the thing."

"What do you mean?"

"Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline."

"What?"

"Yeah."

"Tony, you lost another super-bot?"

"I didn't lose him. He's more than that. He's evolving."

"Who could find Vision then?" Strange asked interrupting Bruce and Tony's conversation. Tony continued to walk away from the three in a different direction.

"Shit." Stark said to himself quietly before speaking out loud. "Probably Steve Rogers."

"Oh, great." Strange commented.

"Maybe. But..." Tony adds as he sighs.

"Call him." Bruce said.

"It's not that easy. God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we?"

"No."

"The Avengers broke up. We're toast." He told Bruce.

"Broke up? Like a band? Like... Like the Beatles?"

"Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms."

"Tony, listen to me. Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not." Bruce begged him. Tony sighed as he thought for a moment of what to truly do. He then turns and pulls out his flip phone Steve had sent to him through mail. Scoffing lightly he pulled up the contact but abruptly stops.

Rumbling is heard in the distance which had caused him to look up. He turned around as objects could be heard rattling. Looking over at Strange, he asks. "Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would ya?"

Strange, looking around, says "Not at the moment, no."

More rumbling could be heard in the background as everyone looks around. Tony glanced up at the huge hole in the roof where Hulk had fell through as he spots a few objects flying by. The scene then shows the four standing side by side to each other as they're trying to figure out what is actually going on at the moment.
