No hate to any of the actors or characters.


[Back at the Sanctum Sanctorum.]

Wong: [Using magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones.] From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.

Everyone was now intently listening to Wong.

Stephen Strange: [Each Stone lights up as Dr. Strange names them.] Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. [Dr. Strange opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone emitting emerald light.] And Time.

Everyone was now looking at Strange surprised. Nebula stated," You have the time stone." Everyone jumped a little forgotten that she was here.

Strange sighed and said," The eye of Agamotto or the time stone is promised to be protected by the sorcerors. It has been with us for centuries."

Tony Stark: [Very attentive] Tell me his name again.

Everyone said," Thanos."

Bruce Banner: Thanos. 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.

All the people who were present during the attack on New York screamed," What?"

Thor asked Loki," Brother, What is Banner talking about?"

Loki ashamedly put his head down and said," When I fell from the Bifrost, Thanos found me. He tortured and controlled me to lead the attack on Midgard."

T'challa asked," What do you mean controlled?"

Loki answered," From the mind stone of the scepter."

Everyone felt bad for him especially Clint.

Thor asked," Why didn't you tell me, Brother?"

Loki retorted," Would you have believed me then?"

Thor said," No, I wouldn't have but brother you should have at least told me. I am sorry, Loki. You didn't deserve it."

Loki turned his head to the screen but everyone could see a slight smile on his face while he said," No worries, brother. It is in the past now. I forgive you and I hope that you forgive me too."

Thor broadly smiled and said," Of course, brother."

Tony Stark: [Speaking to himself] This is it... What's our timeline?

Steve asked Tony," You knew about this?"

Tony said," Why do you think I created Ultron?"

At the mention of Ultron, Wanda let her head down in guilt.

Bruce Banner: No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest creature in the whole universe. If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony...

Stephen Strange: He can destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of.

Tony asked," Did he just say 'hitherto'?

Strange asked," Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?"

Tony Stark: Did you seriously just say "hitherto undreamt of"?

Stephen Strange: Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?

Everyone laughed at the coincidence. While some of them chanted," Parrot. Parrot."

Tony Stark: Is that what this is...?

Strange replied," Yes, it is what it is."

[The Cloak of Levitation smacks Tony's arm, surprising him.]

Tony Stark: [Looking offended] [Straightening himself] I'm going to allow that.

Rhodey wheezed," This is gold." While everyone excluding Tony laughed. Tony looked mildly offended.

Tony Stark: If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?

Tony asked,'' Yeah, why don't you do that?"

Stephen Strange: No can do.

Wong: We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives.

Strange nodded his head.

Tony Stark: And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so...

Clint grimaced saying," Stark Raving Hazelnuts."

Tony asked," Why did you make that face?"

Clint just shrugged his shoulders trying not to offend Tony.

Stephen Strange: Stark Raving Hazelnuts.

Tony Stark: It's not bad.

Stephen Strange: A bit chalky.

Tony said," No, it's not. It is perfectly fine."

When no one answered Tony, he asked," Come on, Kid, Pep, and Rhodey. Back me up."

Rhodey and Pepper were suddenly finding their nails quite interesting. Peter answered," Uhhh.."

Tony put his hands on his head.

Wong: A Hunka-Hulka Burning Fudge is our favorite.

Bruce asked," That is a thing?" While Peter said to Strange," Wow, we both have the same taste." and looked at Tony apologetically.

Bruce Banner: That's a thing?

Everyone chuckled at his surprised face and the same question.

Tony Stark: Whatever. Point is: things change.

Stephen Strange: Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. This Stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos.

Wanda said," That is right."

Tony Stark: And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us.

Steve said," That is also right."

Stephen Strange: Well, if we don't do our jobs.

Tony Stark: [Slightly condescending] What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?

Everyone looked at Tony while Tony seemed unabashed and said," I won't take anything back.''

Stephen Strange: [Completely calm] Protecting your reality, douchebag.

Everyone laughed at this and Clint said," Woah, It seems like you met your rival in sarcasm."

Rhodey remarked," They both even have the same kind of goatee."

Sam said," They both are geniuses in their own fields."

Pepper said," Both have ego's the same the size of their heads."

Scott said," You both are the same."

Everyone was laughing clutching their stomachs while Strange and Tony seemed to be waiting for the ground to swallow them whole.

Bruce Banner: Okay, guys, could we table this discussion right now? The fact is that 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.

Wanda and Vision cringed and said," Oh, no." because they knew what happened. While Tony muttered a small," Shit.''

Tony Stark: [Awkwardly] Yeah, that's the... thing.

Mantis said,'' Why what happened?" Everyone was waiting for Tony, Vision, or Wanda to answer. But no answer was heard.

Bruce Banner: What do you mean?

Tony Stark: Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline.

Vision said sorry to all of them.

Bruce Banner: What? Tony, you lost another super bot?

Tony tried to joke," We have problems with our super bots, don't we?''

No one smiled or laughed they were thinking about what was going to happen now.

Tony Stark: I didn't lose him. He's more than that. He's evolving.

Wanda nodded her head in affirmative and said," That he is."

Stephen Strange: Who could find Vision, then?

Tony Stark: [Quietly to himself] Shit. [To the other men in a normal tone] Probably Steve Rogers.

Steve and Tony looked at each other. Both sporting the same face of guilt.

Stephen Strange: [Sighing in exasperation] Oh, great.

Bruce, Thor, and Loki were confused.

Tony Stark: Maybe. But... [Sighs]

Bruce Banner: [Missing the events of the Avengers' Civil War] Call him.

Bruce asked,'' Why aren't you calling?"

Tony Stark: It's not that easy. God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we?

Bruce Banner: No.

Tony Stark: The Avengers broke up. We're toast.

Everyone who missed the events of the Civil war screamed," What?''

The Guardians were surprised because they didn't think that it was so serious.

Bruce Banner: [Rather surprised and slightly let-down] Broke up? Like a band? Like The Beatles?

Some (Tony, Clint, Sam, Scott, Quill, and Peter) chuckled. When Hope disapprovingly looked at Scott, he defended himself saying," It was funny."

Tony Stark: Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms.

Thor asked," When did that happen?"

Steve replied," 2016"

Fury said," I go incognito and everything goes to hell."

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

Everyone said," Yeah."

[Tony hesitates, before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering 'flip phone'.]

Steve asked shockingly," You take that everywhere?"

Tony scratched his neck and answered," Yeah."

[Before clicking "Call", he pauses, distracted by an unusual rumbling.]

Rocket threw his hands over his head and asked," Now What?''

Bucky said to Tony," At least you were going to call."

Tony smiled at Bucky which he replied with a hesitant tug on his lips.

Tony Stark: Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?

Stephen Strange: [Looking up at his forelock fluttering] Not at the moment, no.

Carol asked," You do that?"

Strange defended himself," Hey, It happens when I perform my spells."
