In Remembrance of a Sacrifice
(This is what would have happened if I had written Avengers: Endgame!)
The battle was raging, Chitauri and Avengers alike, locked in the melee and yet, the ugly purple titan stood near the sidelines, not really participating, a grin etched across his grotesque heliotrope features.

"I mean that you're about to learn the outcome of a thing called The Infinity Saga…"
