--Wakanda--

Shuri was lying on the table with some Wakandan doctors to her side. Thor was also healing from the injuries Loki had done to them. The appearance of Loki was a surprise, Shuri said. He came out of a portal and threatened her to give up the location of T'Challa. Luckily they arrived in time to save her from that.

Steve, who's back was aching, sat beside Thor who was placing some alcohol on his chest. He could tell that he was in pain when he was biting his teeth.

"Do you want some water?" Steve offered as he sat on the bed across from Thor.

"Thanks..." Thor closed his eyes in pain as he applied alcohol, "I'm quite fine."

"After getting attacked by your brother, I'm not sure if that qualifies as fine for you." Steve chuckled as he looked at Shuri, "So, what did she tell you?"

"The usual stuff. Portal. Loki. I still do not understand why Loki would want T'Challa though. Is it because of the Vibranium?" Thor assumed

"It's probably not. He already has the Mind Stone and Outriders as bodyguards, why would he want Vibranium." Steve and Thor started thinking.

"Maybe he wants the throne of Wakanda..." Thor stuttered "or the location of Wakanda. It's a very strategic location. "Thor pointed out.

"Or maybe someone sent a assassin to kill him. Who do you bet? I have my money at the Creator. He's the one who hired him after all."

"I know my brother well, he won't do favours for killing anyone, especially as high of order as T'Challa. Maybe he was pissing us of-" Thor stopped when T'Challa entered the room.

T'Challa was neatly dressed, had his purple jacket, black jeans and sneakers. He had a worried face though when he entered the room. He immediately checked Shuri who was sleeping. He touched her face and whispered something in her ear. After he was finished, he walked over to Thor and Steve. He placed a beer bottle in the middle and smiled at both of them.

"Feeling generous today?" Steve chuckled

"I thought I would share my appreciation for helping my sister." T'Challa explained

Thor drank some of it and it burned through his entire mouth, "It's strong. Really strong."

"I said I want to show my appreciation." T'Challa smiled as he went back to the doctors.

"Is that really strong like what you're talking about?" Reed asked

"It is barely strong. I was just faking it so it doesn't hurt his feelings." Thor laughed and the doctors looked at him. He stopped laughing and said sorry.

"Jokes on you, pal." Steve chuckled as they drank the beer.

"So, if Loki has the Mind Stone Thanos must be looking for him." Reed said

"No, they won't find him. He's a God of Mischief, he can lead them to a trap. I'll do it myself." Thor said, standing up.

"I'll go with you." Reed said, standing up. Steve took a sip of beer and stood up as well, "Looks like both of us are going."

"I have nothing to do anyways." Steve said

"Well..." Thor said when they were walking to the elevator, "It's going to be quite the ride."

--Knowhere--

Loki had arrived at Knowhere after he learned that the Reality Stone was with the Collector. He knew he could get more power with it. He and his Outriders landed the ship and went out with the Mind Stone in hand. He passed by some of the bartenders and entered the room of the Collector.

The Collector still had many artifacts in his hands. The dog, the egg and the duck. He was looking out into space until he was disturbed by Loki. He had thrown a guard through the door to see him.

"The Collector!" Loki greeted as he and his Outriders walked with him, "You have weak security."

"Because I didn't know people like you will show up." The Creator smiled as he put his glasses down.

"Well," Loki lifted his hands, "I'm here and I have something that I want. And that is the Reality Stone."

"Don't you remember? I gave it away to Thanos the last time he visited." The Collector explained

"Then why do my sources say that the Reality Stone is here? Here with you! Stop hiding it!" Loki shouted, as he saw blood on the floor. "What's that."

"You don't know it yet, do you?" The Collector showed his chest which had a hole in it, "I've been dead for a while now."

Suddenly the whole place was on fire and on front of Loki was Thanos, Strange and Carol. Thanos was grinning with the Infinity Gauntlet almost complete. He looked into his hand which had the Mind Stone.

"You didn't know that he died a few weeks ago? By the blade of my own child?" Thanos exclaimed as he walked around Loki.

Loki was starting to shake when Thanos went over to his ear. There was people screaming outside of the bar of Knowhere after the explosions and fire that is happening.

"You have something that I want, and that something is in your hand. So give it to me and no violence shall be displayed." Thanos whispered

"You will let this happen?!" Loki shouted at Carol and Strange, "You will let him kill innocent people?!"

"Who killed more, huh?" Strange said with a angered voice.

"You don't know it yet." Loki said before getting strangled by Thanos. He lifted him up.

"Stone and I'll let you live." Thanos said, as Loki opened his hand which revealed the Mind Stone.

When Thanos dropped Loki, he started to run and his Outriders tackled Thanos. Thanos fell to the floor but he used the Power Stone to throw them away. Carol and Strange were also getting attacked by Outriders but they managed. Thanos checked the Mind Stone that Loki gave but it was a fake.

Thanos checked his back and more of those Outriders started coming in. The Soul Stone lighted up but it had no effect on the Outriders because they were already dead. Thanos nodded in disappointment as Carol and Strange were starting to get overwhelmed. The Reality Stone lighted up and the Outriders turned into stone statues.

Carol and Strange sat on some places where they could seat and started to take a breath. Thanos threw a pile of stone at the fire and shouted in anger. He used the Time Stone to rebuild the place they destroyed.

"So much for scaring him with the destruction, huh?" Thanos said

"I told you that we should have Space Stone to transport him here." Strange pointed out

"Now we don't know where he is so the Space Stone is useless!" Thanos shouted in anger once more, breaking the stone that was in his hand. He started to chuckle when he remembered something, "I remember that someone told me Quill called me the biggest asshole in the Galaxy."

"Only when you were sitting on a chair and doing nothing. What were you doing when you were sitting on your chair?" Carol asked

"Studying. Studying the Avengers, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four, Inhumans and so much more. So I wouldn't say my time on the chair wouldn't be useless."
