HELLO EVERYONE! Today I'm proud to present to all of you Persona: Infinity War! Now, before we begin, I just want to inform you all that I know that I said that I was going to have this story be one big chapter, but after doing some thinking, I decided to just have it be multiple chapters instead. I know that I previously said that I was going to have it be one big chapter, but it just felt more convenient for me to just have it be multiple. I can promise that I'm going to try to have this story at least be less than 10 chapters long, plus I'm going to be taking a break from my other stories and have this one be my main focus until its completed hopefully before the release of Avengers Endgame (depending on what my college workload looks like in the following weeks).

This story was originally a challenge I came across while browsing through the crossover archives and thought it would be interesting to do, plus I personally love Avengers: Infinity War. Yes, I know, I lot of people were upset by the end (SPOILER WARNING!), but hey, like a lot of people say, it's comics, so no one really STAYS dead forever. I can't wait for Avengers Endgame to see out they finally manage to defeat Thanos.

So anyway, without further delay, lets get started!


PERSONA: INFINITY WAR

Chapter 1 - Destiny Arrives


"*Crackle Crackle* This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault. I repeat, we are under assault. The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families. We have very few soldiers here. This is not a warcraft. I repeat, this is NOT a warcraft-"

*BOOM*

The Statesman's radio instantly went silent as the opposing ship unleashed an electrical blast that crackles through the ships hull. The torn pieces of hull drifted through the airless vacuum of space as the refugee ship remained floating stationary. Within the interior of the ship, Heimdall grunted in pain as he laid prone among the fallen bodies of his fellow Asgardians, clutching the bleeding wound on his side. Among the life-less bodies littering the floor of the chamber, four dark, imposing figures stood with their weapons drawn as they scanned the room.

One was a gray skinned humanoid with long white hair and a wrinkled face. He was dressed in a black robe-like armor with gold trimming that went down to his knees, his legs covered by black baggy pants and black boots. He also wore numerous rings on his fingers.

Another was another gray skinned humanoid alien dressed in a black and gold cloak that connected to a hood and had wing-like metal protrusions sticking up from the sides of the hood. He had gray and gold armor covering his arms and legs and black markings on the sides of his face. He also brandished a golden spear that he used to impale an Asgardian that he noticed was still breathing.

The next one was a female humanoid with long blue hair and had two prominent black horns sticking out from the sides of her face. The upper-half of her face was dark blue while the bottom half was gray with a single thick blue line painted down her chin. Her attire mainly consisted of black armor with a silver breastplate and she wielded a spear much like her companion, though the blade consisted of three sharp prongs that glowed blue on one end while the other end had one long blade that also glowed blue.

Finally, the last one among them (and easily the largest) was a tall, muscular humanoid with dark brown reptilian-like scaly skin. His attire also mostly consisted of black armor that consisted of a chest piece and a shoulder plate on his right shoulder, though he also had a red sash wrapped around his waste and he wielded a mechanical ax-like weapon.

Their names were Ebony Maw, Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Cull Obsidian, members of the infamous "Black Order."

"Here me and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. It is salvation. Universal scales tip towards balance thanks to your sacrifice. Smile. For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos."

As Ebony Maw delivered his speech, Loki watched as he walked past him while the others kept their eyes on the infamous Trickster God to ensure he didn't try anything sneaky. Loki then turned towards the front of the ship to see a tall, armored humanoid looking out the large window, his brother Thor lying on the ground next to him in pain.

"I know what it's like to lose." the figure said in a deep male voice as he turned to face Loki, his face obscured by his thick gold helmet and the light the shined in from the window. "To feel so desperately that you're right... Yet to fail, nonetheless."

The figure reached down and grabbed Thor by the collar of his chest plate with one hand as he slowly walked towards Loki.

"It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. But I ask you, to what end? Dread it, run from it...destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say...I am."

The figure stepped into the light and revealed himself as a tall, muscular, purple skinned humanoid alien with a pronounced chin and clad in gold and black armor. He lifted up his right hand which was concealed by a golden gauntlet with a purple gem resting in a small slot in the knuckle area of his index finger.

Thanos the Mad Titan smirked as he clenched his gauntlet-covered fist, the Power Stone glowing brightly in the process.

Thor chocked up blood that dripped down his chin as Thanos held him by his head, glancing up at the Mad Titan with a glazed expression.

"You talk too much..."

Ignoring the God of Thunder's snarky comment, Thanos stared at Loki with an expectant look. "The Tesseract. Or your brother's head." He lowered his right arm and brought it closely towards Thor's head as the Power Stone in his gauntlet to slightly glow, a slight smile on his face. "I assume you have a preference."

"Oh, I do." Loki replied without looking frightened in the slightest. "Kill away."

Thanos' smile disappeared like mist as he pressed the Power Gem against Thor's right temple, creating purple vein-like lines running through his head. Thor began to scream and cry out as he felt like his head was being viciously torn apart from the inside out, with Loki watching as his previously bold expression began to slowly give away into a look of worry. Thanos took notice and added more power into the gem, causing Thor to let out an even louder agonizing scream than before.

Finally, Loki's poker face gave in. "All right, stop!"

Thanos removed his fist from Thor's head as the God of Thunder gasped and panted in pain until he could find his voice. "We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard."

Loki gave a look of guilt as he slowly lifted his left hand, a large blue cube suddenly appearing in his fingers. Thanos gave a slight smirk while Thor stared at his brother while panting.

"You...really are the worst, brother."

Loki slowly approached Thanos as he held the Tesseract out in front of him, his gaze focused on Thor. "I assure you, brother...the sun will shine on us again."

Thanos gave a soft chuckle. "Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian."

"Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian." Loki replied in a matter-of-fact tone. "And for another..."

As he looked like he was about to hand Thanos the Tesseract, he paused.

"We have a Hulk."

"RRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Thanos spun around just as a large green muscular figure slammed into him and sent him tumbling to the ground while Loki quickly grabbed Thor before he could fall to the ground, causing the Tesseract to fall out of his hand and clatter to the floor.

Landing in front of Thanos, who managed to quickly rise to his feet, Bruce Banner, otherwise known as the Incredible Hulk, let out another roar before he rushed forward and began to wail blow after blow onto the Mad Titan. Thanos grunted as he stumbled backwards with each punch before he finally backed against a wall. Hulk reached out and grabbed Thanos by his shoulders and began to push against the wall, making him groan out in slight pain.

Cull Obsidian growled as he gripped his weapon and advanced forward to aid his father, only for Ebony Maw to bring his hand up to stop him.

"Let him have his fun." Maw said in a neutral tone.

Thanos grabbed Hulk by his arms as the Green Goliath continued to try and strangle him. With a grunt and a shocking display of strength, Thanos slowly but surely manged to pry Hulk's arms away from him, much to the latter's utter surprise. Releasing his grip on Hulk, Thanos jabbed his right hand at his throat, causing Hulk to groan in pain as he felt the air get slightly knocked out of him.

Hulk attempted to strike Thanos with a punch, only for him to deflect it and deliver a quick jab to his face before then striking him in the chest. Hulk recovered and swung his fist again, but Thanos ducked to the side as he used Hulk's momentum to deliver a punch to his lower back. Hulk grunted again before Thanos delivered another savage blow to his face and then another to his ribs.

Hulk was in pain, but he continued to fight and swung at the Mad Titan again, only for Thanos to block and send another jab to his face again before grabbing his by the throat and delivering a powerful to his face that sent him smashing against a destroyed support beam. Dazed and now in especially great pain, Hulk was unable to defend when Thanos grabbed him by the back of his head and drove his armored knee into his face before then grabbing him again and lifting him over his head with a grunt. Holding the injured and now unconscious Avenger over his head with both arms, he then slammed him into the ground, creating a small crater beneath the green giant.

As Thanos stood over the defeated form of the Hulk, Thor suddenly rushed up towards him from the side and slammed a steel rod against the side of his helmet, causing a piece to break off and clatter to the floor. Thanos showed little reaction to this and turned towards the God of Thunder as he tried to swing again only for the Mad Titan to deliver a powerful kick that sent him flying across the room and crash to the ground.

As extra insurance, Ebony Maw made a quick flick of his wrist as several large pieces of broken metal levitated off the ground before flying towards Thor, wrapping around his body and anchoring him to the ground.

Heimdall looked over from where he laid as he and Thor shared brief eye contact. The look in Thor's eye was enough for him to know what to do and he propped his sword up against the ground.

"All-Father's..." he grunted, "let the dark magic flow through me one last...time."

He reached out with his free hand towards Hulk's body a few feet away, a light appearing in his palm. A pillar of rainbow light soon appeared out of thin air and lifted up Hulk into it before suddenly vanishing again.

Thanos slowly approached Heimdall as Corvus Glaive handed him his spear. Taking the weapon from him, he stood over the Asgardian who look back up at him defiantly.

"That was a mistake." he said.

Heimdall glanced back towards Thor just as Thanos brought the spear down into his chest, making him gag.

"NOOOOOO~!" Thor screamed as Thanos pushed the spear's tip further into Heimdall's chest. His body went completely limp and his sword clattered to the ground. Thor glared ahead at Thanos with utter fury in his eye. "You're going to die for that!"

Ebony Maw swiped his hand again and a piece of metal covered his mouth as Maw brought his finger to his lips and shushed him.

Thanos walked away from Heimdall's body, allowing Corvus to reclaim his spear, as Maw picked up the Tesseract and approached Thanos before stooping down to one knee in front of him.

"My humble personage...bows before your grandeur." As Maw spoke, Thanos removed his thick gold helmet from his head before ripping off his gold chest and shoulder plates, "No other being has ever had the might...nay, the nobility...to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones." Thanos took the Tesseract from Maw's waiting hand and held it in his palm, gazing upon it's glowing radiance. "The universe lies within your grasp."

Thanos slowly closed his hand around the cube, his fingers tightening around it with such force that it started to crack before it suddenly shattered in his palm, releasing a slight shock wave that rippled the space around him. Opening his hand up again, Thanos blew into the tiny broken shards of glass before sifting his thumb through it until among the shards, he found a single small glowing blue stone. Holding the stone in his fingers, he slowly brought it towards one of the empty slots of his gauntlet.

As soon as the stone dropped into the slot, another shock wave spread through the room and Thanos gave a loud grunt as he felt the new power flowing through his body and making blue light ripple through his veins. Once he regained his composure, he brought his gaze down towards the Space Stone that rested in his Infinity Gauntlet next to the Power Stone, glowing a beautiful shade of sky blue.

"There are two more stones on Earth." Thanos spoke before turning his attention to his four subordinates. "Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan."

"Father, we will not fail you." Proxima Midnight said as she, Corvus Glaive, and Cull Obsidian bowed before him along with Ebony Maw.

"If I may interject." Loki spoke up as he appeared from behind a pile of debris, making everyone turn towards him. "If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena."

"If you consider failure experience." Thanos said without a hint of amusement.

Loki simply shrugged. "I consider experience experience." He then took a step forward and slowly began to approach him. "Almighty Thanos...I, Loki, prince of Asgard...Odinson..."

He cast a glance towards his restrained brother, who simply stared back, before approaching Thanos again. As Thor looked closer, he noticed a small knife appear in Loki's hand, concealed by his cape. "The rightful king of Jotunheim...god of mischief...do hereby pledge to you...my undying fidelity."

Then, without warning, he swung his arm up to stab the knife into the Mad Titan's exposed throat. However, much to the Trickster God's shock, a blue spacial aura surrounded the knife and his arm as the Space Stone glowed in Thanos' gauntlet, completely stopping his arm from moving.

Thanos gave a smirk. "Undying?" He then reached up and grabbed Loki's arm as the glowing hue disappeared. "You should choose your words more carefully."

He squeezed Loki's arm in an iron grip, making him grunt as he dropped his knife and let it fall to the floor. Thanos then pulled Loki towards him and grabbed him by the throat with his gauntlet covered arm before lifting him up off the ground. Loki kicked and squirmed as he tried to fight against Thanos' grip around his neck, but he was unsuccessful and was starting to feel the air being squeezed out of him as the Mad Titan's grip on his throat blocked his access to air.

As he squirmed and kicked, Thanos glanced at Thor with a faint smirk as the God of Thunder watched with a wide-eyed expressed and started to breath more heavily behind the metal blocking mouth.

Thanos looked back at Loki, who was beginning to strain for breath as he tried to speak. "You...will never be...a god."

The Mad Titan just stared him in the eyes before giving a slightly wider smirk as he added a bit more pressure to his grip. The audible sound of bones snapping was heard as Loki's body went limp, his face blue from lack of oxygen and his eyes completely blood shot.

"No!" Thor managed to get out in a muffled cry as he witnessed his brother be murdered right before his eyes.

Thanos turned to face him and slowly approached, still holding Loki's lifeless body up with one arm. With a slight sneer, he dropped Loki's body in front of Thor as if it were dead weight.

"No resurrections this time."

Thanos then raised the Infinity Gauntlet above his head as the Power Gem began to glow before closing his fist, causing a purple shock wave to spread through the floor. Purple cracks began to appear along the walls and the floor before they began to erupt into explosions of purple flames. Just as the flames were about to reach Thanos and his group, the Space Stone in his gauntlet glowed as a spacial portal to appear behind them and swallowed them all up before the flames reached them.

As soon as they disappeared, the metal restraints holding Thor finally clattered to the floor and released him, allowing him to use what remaining strength he had to crawl towards the lifeless corpse of his brother.

"No...Loki..." Thor managed to let out as he grabbed his shirt collar. Not getting a single response, Thor began to break down into tears as he rested his head on Loki's chest, ignoring the mass of purple explosions that consumed the entire ship.


The New York Sanctum, New York City:

At the entrance hall of the New York Sanctum, one of the three bases of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, Doctor Stephen Strange, who dressed himself in more casual clothing aside from his usual sorcerer garbs or the Cloak of Levitation, turned towards his companion with a look of surprise.

"Seriously, you don't have any money?"

"Attachment from the material is detachment from the spiritual." Wong replied as he and Strange walked down the stairs towards the door.

Strange rolled his eyes. "I'll tell the guys at the deli. Maybe they'll make you a metaphysical ham on rye."

Wong suddenly stopped and reached into a pocket in his robes. "Oh. Wait, wait, wait. I think I have 200."

"Dollars?"

"Rupees." he replied with a smile.

"Which is?"

"Uh, buck and a half."

Strange sighed before making his way back down the stairs again. "What do you want?"

Wong thought about it for a second. "I would say no to a tuna melt."

BOOOOOM!

As soon as the two made it to the bottom of the stairs, the sound of a large explosion rang out from behind them and shook the room. The two sorcerers dropped down to their knees and covered their heads to brace themselves before turning around to find a pillar of light shining down upon a large hole that appeared in the middle of the stairs they had just walked down.

Once the light faded, Strange immediately used his magic to dawn his sorcerer's clothing as the Cloak of Levitation flew into the room and attached itself to him while Wong conjured up two Eldrich Magical spell Tao Mandalas around his fists. The two cautiously approached the hole and looked down to see a shirtless man with grayish black hair lying in a pile of broken wood, panting and breathing heavily.

"Thanos is coming." he said with a look of what could only be described as pure fear. "He's coming."

Strange and Wong shared a look towards each other before looking back down at the man, the former's expression becoming one of confusion.

"Who?"


Time Square, New York City:

Standing among the bustling crowd, a young man around 18 years of age with frizzy black hair, dark gray eyes covered by a set of black framed glasses stood at a street corner with a bag over his shoulder, eyeing the busy crowds. Dressed in an unbuttoned black blazer over a black-trimmed cream sweater, blue jeans, and brown shoes, he really didn't seem to stand out among the crowd.

Turning his attention down to his smartphone, he opened the app that showed a map of the area where he was and eyed it with a confused expression.

"This is weird. We're at the right spot, right?" he asked himself, hoping that he wasn't lost.

"Hey, Akira! Are we there yet?" a voice suddenly called from within the confines of his bag. Popping out of the partially open bag, a small black and white cat with blue eyes looked up at the boy. Normally, anyone would be freaking out at the fact that their cat was talking to them, but not in this instance.

Akira Kurusu, the boy identified by the cat, shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know yet Morgana. This should be the spot, but so far nobody's showed up yet."

Morgana, the cat, let out groan of annoyance. "Ugh! What's taking those slowpokes so long?! I bet you it's Ryuji and Lady Ann arguing again."

Akira shook his head. "Maybe, but I bet it's probably because Yusuke's taking his time taking in the sights. This is a foreign city after all."

Morgana gave him a challenging look. "Okay then, smart guy, let's have a bet then. If my guess is correct, then you have to buy me all the sushi I demand!"

"Fine by me. If I win, you have to wear that sweater mom bought for you." the gray eyed boy replied with a smirk. "In public."

The cat suddenly felt a chill crawl up his spine as the memory of that sinister pink cat sweater Akira's mom had bought from the pet store the moment the boy brought him home. He swore to avoid wearing it for as long as he lived, but now it seemed that fate had brought him to this.

"...Fine, deal." Morgana reached out with his paw and Akira gently took it with his hand, the two sharing a hand/paw shake that seemed to catch the attention of a few bystanders.

After a few more minutes of waiting at that street corner, Akira looked like he was on the verge of loosing his patience and was about to open up his contacts when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

"Akira?"

The bespectacled boy blinked at the sudden familiar voice and turned around to face the owner. Standing there was a young girl around his age with short brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs and a French-braid styled headband that matched her hair. Her eyes were unusual as they were red in color, though one could argue that they were reddish-brown. Her attire consisted of a black turtleneck shirt under a teal blue coat, with tight black pants and brown-tan knee-high boots.

Akira's eyes widened with surprise, for he knew exactly who this girl was.

"Makoto?"

Makoto Niijima, the girl before him, gave a bright smile before grabbing the boy and pulling him into a tight hug. "Oh my god! It really is you! It's been so long since I've seen you!"

Akira smiled and hugged his girlfriend back. "Oh, come on. It wasn't that long."

"Yes it was." she replied as she pulled away with a frown. "We haven't seen since you visited last Summer, remember?"

"Oh, right." he said as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly upon remembering.

Makoto smiled at him before she noticed the cat peaking out of his bag. "Oh, Morgana! It's good to see you too."

"Good to see you again, Makoto." the cat replied before looking behind her. "But is it just you here? Where's everybody else?"

The brown-haired girl blinked before looking over her shoulder. "Huh, that's weird. They were behind me a few minutes ago."

Morgana gave a snicker into Akira's ear. "Bet you it's my prediction. I can already smell the sushi."

"We'll see." he whispered back.

"What are you guys talking about?" Makoto asked as she faced them again with a confused look.

Akira smiled. "Don't worry, just a little bet the two of us had."

"What kind?" she asked again, but before either of them could reply, another familiar voice called from behind the girl.

"Jeez, come on Ryuji! We're gonna keep Makoto waiting!" a female voice called from around the corner of the building they were standing near.

"Me?! It ain't my fault! Yusuke keeps taking his sweet time looking at everything we pass!" a male voice shouted back in aggravation.

At that moment, a small group of people rounded that corner and approached them. Upon seeing them, especially Akira, a beaming smile lite up on all of their faces.

The first one to appear was a boy with gray eyes and dark blue hair with parted bangs that covered his left eye. His outfit was simple and consisted of a white gakuran-style shirt embroidered with a fleur-de-lis, fitted black pants and black loafers. His appearance could easily make him come off as a "pretty boy" to most people, even some of his friends. He was Yusuke Kitagawa.

The second was also a boy, though his appearance made him come off more as the thug type in contrast to Yusuke. He had short spiky dyed blonde hair and dark brown eyes, though he had once been told that apparently his natural hair color was black. He had a noticeable windows peak and his eyebrows were unusual in that he lacked the outer sides. He wore a dark purple hooded sweater over a black t-shirt with a yellow emogi-like face with sunglasses printed on the front as well as black skintight jeans and yellow tenny shoes. Known for being the loudest and most vulgar among their group, he was Ryuji Sakamoto.

The third was a young girl with bright blue eyes and wavy platinum blonde hair styled into two bushy pigtails, with parted side bangs on the right side of her face. She was accessorized with a single yellow hair clip above her left ear and big red round earrings. Her attire was made up of a lavender button-up shirt under a red and white jersey jacket with an S symbol near the front bottom on one side. She also had on a white skirt, black leggings and red converse shoes. The owner of the irritated voice from just now, though Akira thought it was because of Ryuji's antics again, she was Ann Takamaki.

The next one was another young, bespectacled girl who was very short, even compared to other girls. She had long dyed orange hair with straight-cut bangs and two long strands in the front along with a single small, thin strand at the top. Her brown eyes had some faint purple tones in them, making them appear mauve. She had on large black circular glasses and wore a set of AKG K845BT headphones with red ear-pads. Her outfit consisted of multiple layers; an off-shoulder white top with a red splatter-like pattern on her chest with five asterisks, which were reminiscent of a passport input system, in the red splatter, with a black tank top underneath that, and a dark green jacket with a faux fur trimmed hood and had "A.F.K." printed on the back. She also wore black short shorts, a studded black belt in a slanted position, black thigh high socks and black knee-high boots with buckles and studs at the top. The groups resident tech hacker and the most socially awkward out of them, she was Futaba Sakura.

Finally, the last one was yet another girl with chin-length curly light auburn hair, brown eyes, and was of average height, being taller than Futaba, but shorter than Ann and Makoto. Like Yusuke, her attire was pretty simple and consisted of a white dress shirt with a dark blue ribbon, a pale green fluffy coat, a pink skirt, white tights and brown shoes. The sweet and caring (yet mildly sadistic) former daughter of a wealthy family before the unfortunate death of her father, she was Haru Okumura.

"Akira-kun? Is that you?" Haru asked in disbelief, staring with wide eyes at her long missed friend.

"Yeah Haru, I'm back." Akira replied calmly with a smile to Haru, who seemed to be trying to hold back tears of joy.

"Makoto told us she was planning a surprise for us when we got here. Man, it's good to see you, you big bastard!" Ryuji grinned as he walked up and gave his friend a high-five, which he gladly returned.

"About time you got back Akira! We were all bored out of our minds without you!" Futaba exclaimed loudly with a wide smile of her own.

"Yeah, nothing was really the same after you left." Ann said, making gestures to emphasize how much she missed Akira.

"Indeed. The mood soured quite a bit when you left us." Yusuke added with a small smile.

"Hey! I'm here too, you know!" Morgana exclaimed as he glared at the group with offense.

Haru turned to look at the cat with surprise. "Oh, Mona-chan! I'm sorry, I didn't notice you there."

Ryuji jumped slightly in surprise upon noticing Morgana. "Whoa! How'd you even get him here?"

"Well...I sort of had bribe my way past the staff to let him get on with me." Akira replied as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Futaba gave a sly smirk as she adjusted her glasses. "You used your charm to sweet talk the stewardesses to let him on, didn't you."

The nervous laugh he gave was enough of an answer for them and they soon couldn't help but join in with him. Once they all caught their breath, Yusuke asked an important question. "By the way, how did you manage to get a ticket to come here as well?"

"Makoto mailed me the extra ticket that you guys got and told me that she wanted to keep it a secret that I was coming her from you guys."

"Huh. Didn't know our former Student Council Prez was a party planner." Ryuji commented, making Makoto blush a little from embarrassment.

"I still can't believe her sister even won those tickets for us." Ann added. "We really have to thank her for that."

"We can do that after we get back." Makoto replied before realizing something. "By the way, what happened to you guys earlier? Last I recalled you guys were right behind me, but when I got here you all vanished."

Haru gave a slight giggle. "Oh, sorry about that Mako-chan. Yusuke-kun got interested in the sights, so he had to stop to let his 'artist spirit' capture the moment."

"This is the first time I've visited a foreign country." Yusuke added as he looked off to the side and pointed his thumb and index fingers out while positioning them like a picture frame. "I could use this opportunity to use the sights here as inspiration for my art."

At that point, Akira glanced over his shoulder at Morgana with a faint smirk, though the cat was able to pick up on it and began to sweat nervously.

"I'll have the sweater ready as soon as we get back."

"I hate you, frizzy hair."

Ann tilted her head with confusion. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing important. Don't worry." Akira replied. "So now that we're all here, where should we go first?"

"Oh, oh! Let's go visit Coney Island! I hear the roller coaster there is super sick!" Futaba shouted excitedly while raising her hand.

Ryuji looked at her with a look of surprise. "Really? Ain't that place supposed to be super crowded though? You sure you can handle it?"

The bespectacled girl merely puffed her chest out proudly. "I'll have you know, Ryuji, that I've been training to conqueror that old fear of mine. Crowded places mean nothing to me anymore!"

Akira looked at Futaba with a proud smile. "Good for you, Futaba. But I kinda wanted to grab something to eat first. Morgana and I haven't eaten since we got on the plane."

"So hungry..." Morgana groaned as his tiny cat stomach started to growl.

"I actually think there's a good restaurant not far down the street from here. Lets try that." Haru suggested as she pointed down the street.

"I could use something to eat as well." Yusuke said as brought a hand to his stomach. "I've mostly been living off of sprouts and salt water for the last few days."

"...You seriously need help, Inari." Futaba commented with a flat expression.

Everyone else started laughing again as Yusuke and Futaba began to argue back and forth like old times. The scene was nostalgic for Akira and couldn't hold back a smile. They may not be the Phantom Thieves of Hearts anymore, but that didn't mean that their friendship was over.


Central Park, New York:

"Chie, quit hogging all the meat! Some of us are hungry too, you know!"

"I'll stop when you quit hassling me over it!"

Meanwhile, in the wide expanse of green in the middle of New York known as Central Park, another duo from another group of young adults hailing from rural Japan were bickering among themselves as they all sat at a large picnic table, the others from the group trying to ignore the squabbling.

"C'mon Senpai's! How are we supposed to enjoy our lunch if you two keep squawking?!" The taller member of the group yelled irritably. He had black hear and dark eyes covered by a pair of glasses as well as a scar above his left eye. He wore a simple white button-up shirt over a yellow t-shirt, dark pants held up by a studded belt and dark shoes. Known for being a delinquent since middle school, he was actually quite a passionate sewer and knitter, though he gets embarrassed about talking about it to others. He was Kanji Tatsumi.

One of the other adults that was arguing was another male that was shorter than than the first. He owned slightly unkempt brown dyed hair and wore a hot pink T-shirt with thin white stripes and aqua green pants. Known mostly for being the clumsy member of the group, he was Yosuke Hanamura.

The other young adult, the one that was arguing with Yosuke, was a young woman with short brown hair and similar colored eyes. Her outfit consisted of a yellow tank-top that went down to her hips, a blue short-sleeved jean-jacket that went down to her mid-waist, knee-length black leather shorts and white sneakers with yellow socks. An upbeat girl who had a fondness for practicing karate and eating mostly meat, she was Chie Satonaka.

The next person was a slightly shy girl who had her hands on her lap and held herself in a lady-like fashion. She had pitch-black hair that she wore in a neat bun and dark brown eyes. She wore a snow white dress with a sky blue cardigan, a red jewel necklace around her neck, and white sandals. The inheritor of a famous local family inn, she was Yukiko Amagi.

Another person among them was a young boy with golden-blonde hair that was swept to the right, as though a large gale had blown it sideways, and bright blue eyes. He wore a blue and white striped T-shirt with an anchor design, navy shorts and yellow shoes. Originally a Shadow that had acquired a Persona and became human, he was Teddie.

The next person was a girl with short blue-hair and gray eyes. She wore a white button-up shirt with no sleeves over a blue tank-top, a navy blue skirt that went down to her knees, and wore a silver necklace around her neck. Once known as the "Detective Prince" back in high school (for being a young detective as well as for dressing like a boy) she was Naoto Shirogane.

Sitting beside her to her left was another girl who had long copper-colored hair that hung down. brown eyes, and pale skin. She wore a white see-through halter top, with a pink, light blue and orange shirt underneath it and tan pants. A famous idol from Japan who's fame had actually just recently gone global, she was known as "Risette" to all of her fans, but to her close friends and family, she was Rise Kujikawa.

Finally, the last individual who was sitting beside Rise was a male with silver bowl-shaped hair and gray eyes. His attire was pretty simple, consisting of an aqua v-collar shirt, gray plaid trousers, and tan shoes. A calm and collected young man who always stood up for those in need, he was Yu Narukami.

Yosuke turned towards Kanji while jerking his thumb in Chie's direction. "Hey, blame Chie! We aren't gonna have any food left if she eats all of it!"

Chie looked at the boy in shock before it turned to anger. "What was that?! You wanna go?!"

"Guys, that's enough." Naoto spoke up with a sigh of exasperation. "This is supposed to be a celebration for Rise-san, so please try to keep yourselves under control."

"Plus, your kinda giving us some unwanted attention." Yukiko added, slightly gesturing to the surrounding people who were staring at them due to the loud argument the two young adults had.

Yosuke and Chie fell silent and nodded sheepishly as they went back to eating while mumbling out a quiet "Sorry" to them.

Teddie finished swallowing a piece of watermelon before smiling towards the copper-haired idol. "Congratulations again on going global, Rise-chan! How does it feel being an even bigger idol than before?"

"It's a little nerve-wracking actually." Rise replied while scratching the side of her head with a sheepish smile. "But I was actually really surprised when Inoue-san said that they were gonna have me do a performance here in New York. I'm a little nervous since this is my first time here in America."

Yu smiled warmly as he put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be amazing, Rise. Besides, it's the first time for all of us too."

Rise smiled back as she leaned into him with a content sigh. "I'm just glad you'll be there too, Yu. I don't think I could've agreed to do this without you there with me."

"Anything for you, Rise." Yu replied smoothly, making Rise give another content sigh.

"Okay now, why don't you two love birds save that for later." Yosuke said with a teasing look on his face.

Rise blushed upon realizing her friends were watching them with equally teasing expressions and looked away with embarrassment. Yukiko tried to hold back a laugh upon seeing the look on her face, but was failing miserably, much to the annoyance of Chie.

"Say, when's your big show supposed to start again?" Kanji asked with curiosity.

Rise, after getting over her previous embarrassment, pulled out her phone and looked through her messages. "Inoue-san said that the performance starts tonight at nine, so we still have plenty of time before. So lets go check out the sights after this!"

"Oh, I know! We should go check out Time Square!" Chie suggested. "I hear there's lots of cool places to check out there."

"Why not take a boat out to the Statue of Liberty as well?" Naoto added. "I've always wanted to see it in person."

Teddie waved his hand with excitement. "I wanna go visit Boardway!"

Yosuke blinked. "Don't you mean Broadway?"

"Isn't that what I just said?"

"No, you dumb bear!" Kanji exclaimed in annoyance.

Yukiko, who was still trying to hold in her laughter, finally ended up cracking. "Snrk... Heehee... Ahahaha, ahahahahahahaha! B-Boardway, bwahahahaha!"

"It wasn't even that funny!" Chie hissed in annoyance.

As the group continued to interact around the table, Yu and Rise couldn't help but smile at the scene. For Yu in particular, the sight was pretty nostalgic, reminding him of all the times they would meet at the Junes Food Court in Inaba and tear their hair out over the murder case. But still, there were also the fun times that they shared together to remember as well. Rise noticed the nostalgic look on her boyfriends face and nudged his arm with her elbow.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Yu just turned to her, his smile never leaving. "About all of us, and everything we went through to reach this point. We all went through a lot of struggling, but we still managed to make it through together."

Rise smiled back at leaned into him again. "That's because we had such a great leader to show us the way. I'll follow you no matter what."

The silver-haired young mans smile brightened as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Thank you, Rise."

"Anything for you, leader~"


"Slow down, slow down. I'll spell it out for you."

"You're totally rambling."

"No, I'm not."

"You lost me."

In another area of Central Park, a man in his late 40's with brown hair and a goatee was walking with a woman with long orange-blonde hair tied into a pony tail after finishing their daily routine of jogging, both dressed in almost matching black long-sleeved track suits with orange trimming and black sweatpants.

But these two were far from just your normal everyday New York citizens.

The man was actually none other than Tony Stark, famous billionaire industrialist, inventor, and former CEO of Stark Industries. But he also went by another alias: Iron Man, the armored Avenger and savior of Earth. Joining Tony for his was his fiancée Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, his former personal assistant and now the current CEO of Stark Industries after Tony retired to become a full-time superhero.

After calming down from his nervous rambling, Tony tried to clear up what he was trying to say. "Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee."

"Yeah." Pepper replied, still not quite sure what her husband was trying to tell her.

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

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

Tony pointed at her, feeling like she was starting to get what he was trying to say. "Yes."

"Yeah. Everyone has that."

"Right, that's the point I'm trying to make." Tony said as he took a deep breath, as if preparing himself for something. "Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt we had a kid. It was so real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name? Morgan! Morgan."

"Riiight." Pepper drawled. "So you woke up..."

"Naturally."

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

"Expecting."

"Yeah."

"Yes?"

"No."

Tony shook his head. "I had a dream about it. It was so real."

"If you wanted a kid," Pepper began as she untied the sleeves of Tony's running track sweater that was tied around his neck before tapping at the triangular piece of metal on his chest, "you wouldn't have done that."

The armored Avenger seemed slightly taken aback, but tried to keep his cool. "I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano-particles."

Pepper shook her head. "You're not helping your case, okay?"

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

"You don't need that." his fiancée cut him off with a slightly more serious tone.

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

"Shirts."

Tony gave a smile. "You know me so well. You finish all my sentences."

Pepper let out a sigh as she shook her head slightly. "You should have shirts in your closet."

"Yeah." Tony replied before an idea came to his mind. "You know what there should be? Know more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston." Pepper gave a chuckle at that part. "Right? And we should have know more surprises. Ever. I should promise you."

The blonde nodded. "Yes."

"I will." The two then leaned in and began to share a short kiss until a voice interrupted the two love birds.

"Tony Stark."

The two quickly turned to see a man with a goatee and dressed in a blue uniform with a red cape step out of a swirling orange portal before approaching them.

"I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me."

Tony and Pepper stared at the newcomer in astonishment, with the former gripping Pepper by the shoulder. It was at that moment that Strange noticed the blonde standing next to Tony.

"Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way."

"I'm sorry, you giving out tickets or something?" Tony questioned as he stared at the sorcerer with caution.

The Master of the Mystic Arts turned to Tony with a serious expression. "We need your help. It's not overselling it to say that the fate of the universe is at stake."

"And who's 'we'?"

At that moment, a familiar man dressed in a dark shirt and jacket stepped out from behind Strange. "Hey, Tony."

Tony's eyes widened in utter shock to see an old friend he hadn't seen since the Sokovia Incident. "Bruce."

Bruce then turned from his friend to the blonde. "Pepper."

"Hi." she responded with equal shock as Bruce walked up to her fiancé.

"You okay?" Tony asked before his science bro suddenly pulled him into a hug. Tony accepted it, but he and Pepper glanced at each other with shock and confusion, wondering what was going on.


Gekkoukan High School, Tatsumi Port Island, Japan; 8 years earlier:

"The wind feels so nice..."

On the rooftop of a massive high school, seated on a stone bench, a young girl with short blonde hair and bright blue eyes stared up at the bright blue sky as the breeze sent cherry blossom petals scattering through the air. She wore a black school uniform with a red ribbon wrapped around her neck and what almost appeared to be a pair red headphone-like disks on the sides of her head.

"This is my first time experiencing spring..."

The girl looked down and her eyes met a pair of steely grey pupils, which belonged to a blue haired boy, whose head was resting on her lap. The boys eyes seemed tired, and yet she could see that he was in peace. She looked up again and saw flower petals fluttering in the air. The warmth in the air brought comfort to the girl, and she closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.

"But, this season will eventually pass..." She said. She looked down again, and once again, their eyes met. "After fighting alongside you, and facing the worlds end, I finally began to understand what it meant to live." She smiled as she brought a hand to his face, brushing his blue hair aside. In return, he gave her a tired smile.

His face seemed awfully pale and was very tired. It was probably due to to the fact that he managed to save the world with that mysterious power of his. After everything that he had done, he deserved a well-earned rest.

"Thinking for yourself, not running away... Accepting the inevitable... All things eventually come to an end..." It was an undeniable truth. No matter how we live our lives, only death matters.

"Every living thing will one day disappear. Only by accepting this can one discover what they truly want, what the meaning of their life will be..." The girl shut her eyes, feeling something surging within her.

"I understand now why I was so tormented by my lack of strength," she began to notice the crack in her voice as she said that. "Protecting others became more than just an order I had to obey." She could see her hand tremble as she brushed his blue locks. "I wanted to do it for my own reasons. I realized this once I decided to try and prevent the Fall. When I thought I might never see you again, something else became clear to me - what I wanted most."

At that moment, she realized something fell onto the back of her hand, something wet and warm. At first, she thought it was raining, but soon she realized that it was something else entirely.

Trying to ignore the sensation she felt in her chest, she continued. "And so, I made up my mind." More of it fell onto her hand, and then onto his face. The girl also felt it in her eyes, and it refused to stop. "I decided that I would continue to protect you. I want to be your strength. I know I'm not the only one who can do this... but it's okay. My life will be worth living if it's for this reason..."

Tears unbidden, as their eyes met again, she smiled as she choked back a sob.

"Thank you..."

He brought up his hand, wiping away her tears with his fingers. Those steely, grey eyes were filled with concern. With a soft voice, he spoke to her as he swept away her tears.

"It'll be okay..."

From his voice alone, she knew that he was very tired. Even so, he was more concerned about her than himself.

"Your right. What am I doing?" She said, holding his hand that tenderly touched her face as he wiped away her tears. "I understand now, so I should be happy..." She was grateful and happy that it was him who saw her like this.

As he comforted her while she was crying, they heard a familiar voice, and then footsteps. It appeared the others might have regained their memories what they had gone through together. Soon, they would be surrounded by everyone, and she wanted him to see their smiles. She wanted him to know that they were never alone.

"I realize now that I have friends as well." She stroked his face as she said that. "You don't have to save the world to find meaning in life. Sometimes, all you need is something simple, like someone to take care of." With renewed conviction and determination, she continued. "I'll keep on living no matter what, so that I can protect you."

The sounds of footsteps became closer.

"Thank you for everything..."


New York City; Present Day:

"Oi! Earth to Aigis!"

The Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon looked up from her drink upon hearing someone call her name from across the table. Aigis looked around and noticed that they were seated at the window seat of a small cafe. It appeared that she had been daydreaming.

Aigis turned her attention back to the person seated across from her, who was a teenage girl with pale skin, piercing red eyes, and long bluish-grey hair tied into a ponytail. She also appeared to be dressed in something that resembled a Japanese summer school uniform, consisting of a short sleeved white shirt with a black cape with yellow trimming and a black and white checker patterned skirt. Despite the fact that the girl looked incredibly human, she was actually an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon like Aigis, but was an earlier model than the blonde that could alter her appearance to look more human.

"I'm sorry, Labrys. It seems I was lost in thought for a moment." the blonde android apologized sincerely.

Labrys waved it off with a smile as she spoke in her usual Kansai dialect. "It's all fine. You just scared me a little when ya started spacin' out for no reason."

Aigis nodded. "Yes, I'm truly sorry. I was just remembering something."

Although she was trying to be evasive of the subject, Labrys could already what her sister was thinking about. "You were thinking about him again, right?"

Aigis was silent for a moment before slowly nodding. "It's already been 8 years now since Minato-san left this world. It feels odd that it's already that long since he became the Great Seal between us and death. Every year, I just can't help but wonder if he'll ever come back."

Labrys frowned sympathetically as she watched her sisters face become crestfallen. She had never personally met the human called Minato Arisato, having not met Aigis or the others until the Pre-One Grand Prix that Hi-no-Kagutsuchi orchestrated, which was around 2 years after the boys 'death'. However, she had learned of who he was and what kind of person he was from stories Aigis and the rest of the Shadow Operatives had told her.

She could understand the pain that Aigis was going through. She remembered the pain she felt from having been forced to kill Unit #024 by the Kirijo Group scientists 19 years ago, along with her other sister units. She understood what it truly meant to lose someone precious and knew that Aigis was really suffering through the issue with Minato.

"Sis," Labrys spoke softly, gaining the blonde androids attention, "I know that your hurtin' right now, and I also know that this whole thing with Minato-kun's been eatin' at ya, but I don't think he'd want to see you constantly beatin' yourself up over him being gone, y'know?"

Aigis nodded solemnly. "Yes, I know. But-"

"But nothin'!" Labrys cut her off, surprising her sister. "Look, Misturu-san was willin' to send us out here so we could get some down time, so how 'bout the two of us have a good time and try not to worry about anything. Ya get me?"

Aigis was silent for a moment before she finally gave a smile. "Yes, your right sister. I'll try and think more positively for now. I know Minato-san would be quite sad if he saw me worrying like this."

Labrys grinned as she gave a thumbs up. "There ya go, sis! Now you're gettin' into it! So, ya got any plans for what we should do later?"

"I haven't quite thought about it yet." the mechanical maiden said while slightly tapping her chin. "Is there somewhere you wish to go, Labrys?"

"You bet there is!" the silver-haired android exclaimed. "I really wanna go check out that really tall building we passed on the way here! What did you say it was called again?"

"Ah, you mean the Empire State Building. I would much like to go there too."

Labrys nodded. "Alright then, it's settled. After this, we're headin' to the Empire State Building! Let's have fun too, kay?"

Aigis returned the nod with a smile. "Yes, lets."


The New York Sanctum:

"At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then...boom." Wong used his magic to create a life-like projection of a stars and nebula's above the main hall of the sanctum. "The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each controlled an essential aspect of existence."

At one end of the large room, seated on a cushioned bench, Tony watched with deep focus as Wong then used his magic to create five different colored crystal projections that levitated in the center of the room. One red, one orange, one yellow, one blue, and one purple.

Doctor Strange stared at the six stones, with each one briefly glowing as he listed them off. First the blue, then the red, purple, orange and yellow. "Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time."

He finished by making a motion with his arms as the Eye of Agamotto hanging from his neck opened up, revealing a glowing green gem that was secured inside.

Tony stared in silence for a brief moment before turning towards Bruce. "Tell me his name again."

"Thanos." he replied with slight dread. "He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population. He sent Loki." The Iron Avenger turned to him in shock. "The attack on New York, that's him."

Tony looked off to the side, with a serious expression. "This is it... What's our timeline?"

Bruce shook his head. "No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones. That already makes him the most powerful creature in the whole universe. If he gets his hands on all six stones Tony..."

"He could destroy all life on a scale hitherto undreamt of." Strange interjected.

Tony then placed his hand on a large cauldron-like object and suddenly began to stretch his leg. "Did you seriously just say 'hitherto undreamt of'?"

"Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?"

"Is that what it is?" he asked before Strange used the Cloak of Levitation to smack his hand away off of the cauldron.

Tony stared at Strange, slightly surprised by the sorcerer's action. "I'm going to allow that. If Thanos needs all six, why don't we stick this one down a garbage disposal?"

Strange shook his head. "No can do."

"We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone with our lives." Wong said sternly.

"And I swore off dairy...but then Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me." Tony joked lightly.

Strange sighed. "Stark Raving Hazelnuts."

Tony nodded. "Not bad."

"A bit chalky."

"A Hunk of Hulk of Burning Fudge is our favorite." Wong added, much to Bruce's confusion.

"That's a thing?"

Tony shook his head, deciding to get things back on track. "Whatever. The point is, things change."

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

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

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

"What is your job exactly?" the former billionaire CEO asked. "Besides making balloon animals."

Strange just stared at him before giving an almost smug look. "Protecting your reality, douchebag."

Tony glared at the sorcerer's insult before Bruce finally stepped in. "Okay, guys. Could we table this discussion right now? The fact is we have this stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find him now."

Tony crossed his arms. "Yeah, that's the thing..."

"What do you mean?"

He sighed and shook his head. "Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline."

Bruce's eyes widened. "What? Tony, you lost another super-bot?"

"I didn't lose him." Tony denied as started pacing slightly. "He's more than that. He's evolving."

"Who could find Vision then?" Strange asked.

Tony stopped before shaking his head, silently cursing. "...Probably Steve Rogers."

"Oh, great." Strange groaned quietly.

"Maybe. But..." the Armored Avenger sighed.

Bruce walked up to him. "Call him."

"It's not that easy." Tony said as he turned to face him, seeing the look of confusion on his fellow scientists face. "God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we?"

Bruce shook his head. "No."

"The Avengers broke up. We're toast." Tony finally revealed.

"Broke up?" Bruce stared at Tony in even more confusion, but also shock. "Like a band? Like...like the Beatles?"

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

"Tony, listen to me." Bruce said slowly. "Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not."

Tony took in what his friend was saying, knowing deep down that he was right. Just several months earlier, he had considered calling Steve and patch up their relationship once again, but ended up getting sidetracked with other things. But right now, things were serious. If they were going to stop Thanos, they needed all of the help that they could get.

He nodded in acceptance and stepped off to the side slightly before pulling out the old flip phone that Cap had mailed him after their falling out, in the event that Tony needed to call him should he need him. He looked through the contacts list and found Steve's number to the only one listed. His finger hovered over the call button...

...When a distant rumbling caught his attention.

Tony brought his gaze up from the phone and looked around, hearing slight clattering from some of the objects rattling in the room. He turned himself around and noticed a small of tuft of Doctor Strange's hair seemingly move from an invisible breeze as he also looked around for the source of the rumbling.

"Say Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?" Tony inquired.

"Not at the moment, no." Strange answered.

Tony turned his attention up towards the hole in the ceiling from when Bruce had crashed through it and noticed scraps of paper flying by from a strong breeze. He snapped the flip phone shut as he and the others in the room turned their attention towards the front door, hearing the sounds of muffled screaming and catching glimpses of people run past the building in a panic through the glass.

Tony walked up towards the doors before opening them, now noticing a full crowed of people screaming and running for their lives, with some even getting out of their cars to join the fearful crowd. Tony noticed that they were all running in the same direction and started to head in the opposite direction as people ran past him. One woman ended up tripping and falling on her side before Tony came up to her and helped her to her feet.

"You okay?" he asked, only to receive a yelp of fear in response before she continued on running. A car ended up crashing into a streetlamp in the ensuing chaos, prompting Tony to take action. "Help him!"

"Banner!" Wong called to the scientist.

"Go, go! We got this!" Bruce called to Tony as he and Wong went to aid the man in the car.

Tony placed a pair of glasses over his eyes before continuing to head towards the source of the commotion. "Friday, what am I looking at?"

[Not sure. I'm working on it.] The female artificial intelligence answered.

Tony turned around towards Doctor Strange, who was following behind him. "Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!"

"Might wanna use it." Strange replied as he conjured two Tao Mandalas around his arms, preparing himself for combat.

Tony stuck himself to the corner of the building before peaking around the corner to look down the street, only to quickly move his head back as a piece of red sheet metal came flying past before clipping on the roof of a car and slamming into the side of another building. Tony and Strange both stepped out from behind the building and into the middle of the street to see what was causing the chaos.

What they both saw was something neither would ever forget.
