PROLOGUE
The end of the universe was nigh, and the Beings of Power did gather in a desperate attempt to stop this catastrophe. Ego sauntered across the wasteland that was once the mighty Titan, kicking various pieces of debri as he went. The meeting place was within view, and he spied his ancient companions already poised and waiting for him. The Ancient One, hovering a few feet above the ground, her legs folded into a lotus position, the monastery cloak of Earth that she favoured rippling around her. A golden chain hung around her neck, the eye pendant glowing a soft green as the Time Stone aided her meditation. Ego knew she was viewing potential outcomes of this meeting of the Ages. A little way in the distance stood Odin, a being of considerable power, but Ego did not consider him to be the god that his nine realms considered him to be. Not compared to himself at least. Odin did, however, look every bit the king that he was, gazing into the distance with his long cape flowing behind him. He turned at Ego's approach with an eyebrow arched over his patched eye.
"Welcome, friend -" Odin didn't get to finish before Ego cut him off.
"I am not your friend, Asgardian. My being here is a matter of self preservation," Ego spat.
"Are we not facing the same threat?" Odin remained unfazed. "Are we not fighting on the same side in the war to come? As Allies?" He came towards Ego as he spoke, spreading his arms in a welcoming gesture. Ego said nothing.
"Then today I call you friend."
"This alliance is wise." The Ancient One spoke softly, her eyes open as if she had been watching the previous exchange. Her feet touched down to the ground as the green light from the Time Stone faded.
"Asgardians and humans," Ego started, his tone still venomous, "do not concern me. I have answered your summons, oh Ancient One, now tell me why I am here, on Titan of all places, before I grow bored."
The Ancient One took a few steps towards him until she was barely a foot in front of him. He was suddenly very aware of the power she possessed.
"This concerns the entire universe, Ego, even you." She matched her tone to his, expressing her distaste for his, well, ego. "In a few Earth years, a great battle is to take place on this very spot. The fate of all living things will hang in the balance. Today we have gathered because I believe I have a way to stop it."
"A girl," Odin continued on from her, "with the foreknowledge to do what is necessary to bring together the warriors that will vanquish this great evil."
"A girl?" Ego remained unconvinced.
"Yes." The Ancient One replied simply.
"And what can she do that we cannot with our collective power and the Time Stone?" Ego scoffed.
"She is not of this universe."
Ego started at that. The theory of parallel universes was just that. A theory. But perhaps…
"I assume there will be more than one infinity stone involved if you plan on traversing different universes?" he asked, all animosity forgotten in his curiosity.
"The infinity stones are to be scattered across the stars in order to delay the impending doom," answered Odin. Ego raised his eyebrows at the apparent finality of the statement.
"What the AllFather means," the Ancient One glanced at Odin with mild annoyance as she spoke, "is that the stones must be separated and remain so." Ego huffed out a breath and began to walk away.
"However," he turned back sharply as the Ancient One spoke again, "With my Time Stone, and the Allfather's access to the Aether and the Tesseract, we believe it may be possible to summon one into this universe. Once she is here, I can continue with just the Time Stone to communicate with her and make sure she is where we need her."
Now that sounded like a more solid plan. Ego grinned at his companions.
"When do we start?"
