Darkseid sat in his Throne Room on Apokolips, observing a golden glove with six different colored gems. "Grail, tell me where you found this," he demanded of his kneeling daughter. "I don't know father, it just appeared," Grail said, looking up. Darkseid growled in frustration, "Give this to Desaad, and tell him to research this item!" He ordered, throwing the glove to his daughter. Grail stood, grabbing it, "As you wish," she said, walking off to Desaad's research lab.
Grail entered the deformed bleach colored man's lab, "Hey freak, Darkseid wants you figure out what this glove is." Desaad grabbed the gauntlet from her hands and placed it under his computer's scanner. Desaad turned back to Grail, "Is that it?" Grail nodded yes. "Then leave child, and let me do my work in peace," he rasped. Grail glared at him, then left the room to go and spar with The Furies. After Desaad's computer finished the scan, it showed him everything about it. "Oh, is Darkseid gonna be pleased with these results," he cackled.
Meanwhile in another universe
Thanos slowly walked through his room of collections, he headed to the back to his favorite item, the Infinity Gauntlet. But to his surprise it wasn't there. The glass case which held the object was now replaced with a Boom Tube. Enraged, Thanos roared and viciously destroyed everything near him, except for the boomtube, he grabbed it and studied it for a checked for any buttons or switches but found nothing. 'What the hell could this be?!" He asked himself in fury.
Instantly Thanos knew someone who might know of this box's origin and what it does. Thanos quickly used one of his own devices to teleport himself to the presence of Galactus. Galactus felt Thanos's arrival and faced. "What is it that you seek to know Thanos?" Asked the conqueror of worlds. Thanos showed Galactus the Boom Tube. "Wish to know what this object is and how it works." Galactus grabbed, and observed it for a few moments. "Hmm, interesting. This object is not of our universe, but belongs to another…"
