"From the dawn of the Universe, there was nothing. Then, boom!" Wong explained as he uses magic to project an image of the Galaxy. Then an image of an explosion appears then reveals The Stones. "The Big Bang sends six elemental crystals, hurdling across the virgin Universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence." He said.

"Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind." You listed off as the stones showed themselves. Then you turn to Stephen, who places his hands on the Eye of Agamotto and said. "And Time." Then he makes a gesture with his hands to open the Eye, revealing the Time Stone.

Tony stares at this then to Bruce and said. "Tell me his name again."

"Thanos." Bruce replied as he walks up to Tony. "He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets. He takes what he wants. He wipes out half the population. He sent Loki. The attack on New York. That's him."

"What's our time line?" Tony asked him as he paces around in place. "No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that only makes him the strongest creature in the whole Universe. If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony..." Bruce started to explain as Tony walks over to the side of the staircase and leans against a cauldron.

"He can destroy life on a scale of hitherto undreamt of." Stephen finished as he walks up next to Tony. "Did you seriously just say hitherto undreamt of?" Tony asked.

"Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?" You asked, arms folded across your chest. "Is that what that is?" Tony asked just as the Cloak of Levitation smacks Tony's hand off of the Cauldron. Tony, shocked by this, looks towards you and Stephen as you two raise your eyebrows at him. 

"I'm going to allow that." He said, pointing at you two. "If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?" He said as he points at the Eye of Agamotto. "No can do." You replied, firmly. "We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone with our lives." Wong informed him.

"And I swore off dairy, but Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so..." Tony said, shrugging. "Stark Raving Hazelnuts." Stephen replied. Tony turns to him and said. "It's not bad."

"A bit chalky." Stephen remarked.

"A Hunka-Hulka Burning Fudge is our favorite." Wong replied. "That's a thing?" Bruce asked him, shocked.

"Whatever. Point is, things change." Tony exclaimed.

"Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change." You said to Tony. "This Stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos."

"And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us!" Tony exclaimed, angrily.

"Only if we don't do our jobs." said Stephen.

"What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?" Tony asked, sarcastically. You and Stephen glare at him until Stephen speaks. "Protecting your reality, douchebag." He said, in a low voice.

Tony and Stephen glare at each other when Bruce speaks up. "Okay guys, can we quick cable this discussion right now? The fact is we have the stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone. And we have to find him now."

"Yeah, that's the thing." said Tony.

"What do you mean?" Bruce asked as Tony walks up to him. "Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline." Tony replied. "What? Tony, you lost another super bot?" Bruce asked, exasperated, while Tony turns away from him. "I didn't lose him. He's more than that. He's evolving." said Tony as he walks away from you guys, his back facing the four of you.

"Who could find Vision, then?" You asked him. Tony looks up then looks around before he lets out a sigh. "Probably Steve Rogers." He replied and you groan as Stephen mutters. "Oh, great."

"Maybe. But..." Tony trails off as he thinks. "Call him." Bruce pleads. Tony turns his head towards him and said. "It's not that easy." Then he turns to face Bruce and said. "God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we? The Avengers broke up. We're toast."

"Broke up? Like a band? Like The Beatles?" Bruce asked him. "Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms." replied Tony. Bruce walks closer to his friend and said. "Tony, listen to me. Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not."

Thor's gone? Oh God! You thought, fearfully, as Tony stands there for a moment before he pulls out an old flip phone. He opens it, pulls up the contact list to see the phone highlighting Steve Rogers's number. He stares at it, intently, and was about to push it when he stops.

There was a very faint noise he could hear. He looks around to see where it was coming from only to see your's and Stephen's hair were moving slightly, like a wind was blowing them. "Say, Doc, you and ypur girlfriend wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?" Tony asked Stephen. "Not at the moment, no." Stephen replied as you shake your head.

All five of you look up at the hole in the roof and see debris flying overhead. You look towards the door and see people running past the door, they all looked like they were running away from something. "Look!" You said, softly, pointing at the door. 

All of the men look towards the door and see what you saw. Tony walks up to the door then back towards you before he opens the door and walks out on the street to see civilians running and screaming in terror. You, Stephen, Wong and Bruce were not far behind him as a man falls in front of Tony. "You okay?" Tony asked the man as he helps him up. 

The man nods just as a car comes hurtling towards them but thankfully hits a pole instead of them. The man runs away as Tony turns to you guys and points at the car and shouts. "Help him. Wong, Doc."

"Got it." Bruce said as he and Wong go over to the car to help. "Friday, what am I looking at?" Tony asked his AI as he puts on his glasses. "Not sure. I'm working on it." She said then Tony turns to Stephen and said. "You better not put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!"

"I might wanna use it." Stephen said as you and him made some gestures with your hands, summoning up some shields as you three turn around the corner to see a wall of dust covering up the city while a giant circular ship was hovering above.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a school bus drives down the road when the hairs on a young teenagers, Peter Parker, arm stands up. Peter looks at his arm then out towards the window to see the giant spacecraft. As he stares at it, he pats his friend's, Ned, shoulder then pulled off his ear bud. "Ned, hey. I need you to cause a distraction." He says, quietly, to him. Ned turns and sees the ship and said in fear. "Holy shit! We're all gonna die!" 

The bus load of teenagers heard him and started to run over to the side of the bus and stare at the ship as Peter pulls out his web shooters and aims a web at the emergency exit lever and pulls it down, opening the window wide enough for him to climb through. "What's the matter with you kids? You never seen a spaceship before?" The bus driver asked as Peter sticks to the side of the bus, puts on his mask and swings off.

"Friday, evac anyone south of 43rd Street, notify first responders." Tony ordered as all of you walk towards the wall of dust. "Will do." Friday said as you and Stephen move your hands really fast and fluid like. Then you thrust the spell forward and blew away the dust, making it easier for you and the boys to see. You turn to Tony and gave him a wink as a beam, from the ship, slams down and two figures appear before you guys as Wong and Bruce catch up with the rest of you.

One figure, called Cull Obsidian, was a huge and reptilian looking with at least four arms and carrying a giant hammer. The other figure, Ebony Maw, was a smaller one but he was tall and thin with his hands in the praying position. He smiles as he speaks to you and the others. "Hear me, and rejoice! You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to..."

"I'm sorry, Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here." Tony shouted at him. Ebony glares at Tony then turns his gaze to Stephen. "Stone keeper...Does this chattering animal speak for you?" Ebony asked. "Certainly not. I speak for myself." Stephen said as you and him summon up some shields again and both of you get into a fighting stance. "There's no trespassing in this city and on this planet." Stephen shouted.

"You need to get lost, Squidward!" Tony exclaimed as Ebony turns to Cull. "They exhaust me. Bring me the Stone." He ordered and Cull begins to roar.

"Hey, do you want a piece?" Tony asked Bruce as he turns to face him. Bruce looks at Tony then said. "No, not really. But when do I ever get what I want." Then he closes his eyes and tries to summon up the Hulk. "Been a while. Good to have you, buddy." Tony said as Bruce's neck was turning green but nothing was happening. "I just...I need to concentrate for a second." Bruce mutters as he groans and strains to bring the Hulk out but nothing was happening.

You and Stephen look over at Bruce with concern as Cull begins to walk towards you guys. "Where's your guy?" Tony asked Bruce. "I don't know. We're certainly having a thing." Bruce said after he takes a breathe. "There's no time for a thing. That's the thing right there. Let's go." Tony said as he pats Bruce's shoulder. Bruce, once agains tries to summon the Hulk but nothing happens but him screaming out in pain. He leans over on his knees as he catches his breathe.

You, Stephen and Wong stare at the two when Tony turns to Bruce. "Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizards." He mutters to him. "I can't...He won't..." Bruce said, fearfully. "It's okay. Stand down." Tony said, quickly. "Can I leave you with him?" Bruce asked and Tony nods. "Thank you." Bruce said. "I have him." said Tony as he starts to pull off his glasses just as the nano-bots in his reactor start to form around his body, turning into a brand new Iron Man suit.

As Cull gets closer, he raises his axe and attacks Tony buy Tony makes a shield form over his arm and blocks the hit. Then he uses the shield to hit Cull and knock him back. Then four device pull out of Tony's back and aim at Cull and blasts the monster away. Cull was flying towards Ebony but Ebony moves his hand and Cull flew off to the side.

"Where'd that come from?" Bruce asked, astonished. "It's nano-tech. You like it? A little..." Tony started to say as he turns to Bruce but suddenly he was thrown up in the air, thanks to Ebony Maw.

Maw then used his power to pull out a tree and flung it towards you guys but Wong got in front and made a shield to cover all of you. You turned to Bruce and said. "Dr. Banner, if the rest of your green friend won't be joining us..." and you make a portal appear behind Bruce, who falls backwards towards it, then closed it once he was safely away.

Stephen tries to do a spell as a car comes at you guys but Tony comes flying back and shoots the car back towards Ebony, who raises his hand and made the car split in half. "You gotta get that stone outta here, now." Tony said to Stephen. "It stays with me." Stephen said to him, firmly. "Exactly. Bye!" Tony said and he takes off after Ebony but Cull wakes up and uses his axe and knocks Tony away from you, Stephen and Wong. 

As Cull goes after Tony, debris fly up in the air next to Maw, who turns them into spears and aims them all to you, Stephen and Wong but all you and Stephen summoned portals as one portal took them in and the other poetal aimed those spears back to Ebony, who used a car to block them but there were too many as one hits the side of his head. He helps in pain then glares at the three of you.

He raises his hand and a huge spurt of water, from a hydrant, shoots out and knocks Wong back. "Wong!" You shouted then you started waving your arms around, throwing as much spells as you could but Ebony was able to move those spells out of the way then waves his hand again and knocks you back. 

Stephen looks over his shoulder at you in shock then turns back to face Ebony, angrily. Then he summons a whip but Ebony catches it and Stephen pulls Ebony towards him. Ebony hurls towards him, grabs him and flies towards the side of the building and uses his powers to make the bricks form around Stephen's body.

"Your powers are quaint. You must be popular with children." Ebony said as he reaches out for the Eye of Agamotto but the spell that was protecting the artifact comes on as Ebony wraps his fingers around it. Ebony screams out in pain and pulled his hand back, seeing that the spell left a mark on the palm. "It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable." Stephen sneered at him. "Then I'll take it off your corpse." Ebony exclaimed, angrily, and he grabs the collar of the Cloak and pulls him put of the wall. 

Stephen pulls away from Ebony then starts to activate the Time Stone but some wires come up and wrap around Stephen's arms. Stephen looks down as the Eye closes and the Stone deactivates. Then the wires wrap all around Stephen's body, then up to his neck. "You wouldn't. Removing a dead man's spell...Troublesome." Stephen gasped as he tries to catch his breathe. "You'll only wish you were dead." Ebony said as he clenches his fist and the wires wrap tighter around Stephen's neck until he passes out.

Ebony smiles as Stephen falls over and lands on the pavement. Ebony lifts up the piece of pavement and begins to fly off as the Cloak struggles to free Stephen. Luckily, the pavement section stops. Ebony turns to see you holding out your hands, using magic to hold on to the pavement, as the Cloak wiggled and freed Stephen out of the trap and starts to fly towards you. "No!" Ebony screamed as the Cloak flies Stephen towards you. You grab him and start to fly away from Ebony as you put Stephen's arm around your shoulder. "I've got you, love." You muttered to him as you swerve and dodge, avoiding Ebony as he follows after you two.

Meanwhile, over at the park, Tony and Peter Parker aka Spider-Man, who finally showed up, were fighting Cull when you and Stephen fly past them. "Kid, those are the wizards. Get on it." Tony ordered. "On it!" Peter exclaims and web slings towards you two.

You look behind you to see Ebony was still flying towards, menacingly, and objects try to grab at you but you swerve away from them. Spidey was not that far behind but Ebony used a highway sign to knock him down. Spidey gets up and shakes his head. "Ah, not cool!" He said and he continues after y'all.

You were still avoid the object but suddenly a couple of poles folded over and grabbed your leg and the Cloak. "No! Stephen!" You shout, in fear, as Stephen's body flies off but Spidey comes in time and webs up Stephen. "Gotcha!" He shouts and he swings away with Stephen as you look at him, confused. "What the hell?" You asked, aloud, as the Cloak struggles free then goes over to you and helps you out.

The Cloak latches around your shoulders and the two of you fly after Spidey and Stephen until a beam comes down, pulling Stephen and Spidey. Spider-Man grabs the light post with one hand and the other hand holds the web attached to Stephen. "Mr. Stark? I'm being beamed up." Spidey calls out as you come in and grab Stephen but unfortunately you couldn't pull away from the beam and start to be pulled towards the ship with Stephen. "Hang on, kid." Tony said as Spidey gets pulled up.

You and Stephen were beamed on the ship but the Cloak pulls you off to the side and the edges of the collar covered your mouth as you see Ebony walking towards Stephen and smiles as he waves his hand and Stephen's body floats up and the two walk away. "Okay, buddy....let's go and save him." You whispered to the Cloak as it removes the collar off of your mouth. The Cloak makes a little wave at you, as if nodding, and you sneak around the ship while devising a plan to save the man you love.
