"My lord, t-the girl is growing stronger each day! Lord Thanos...i-if you are to act, it should be now!"
The red creature growled, his lips forming into a snarl. "That girl was a mistake from the beginning! If she finds out who she really is WE'RE DEAD! I do not wish this to happen!"
"Y-yes! Yes, my lord! Do not worry, our allies on Earth have tried to-"
"THEY FAILED!" he barked. "SHE GOT AWAY! SHE'S GONE! OUR WEAPON, GONE!"
The blue creature who was trying to soothe Thanos backed down. He breathed out slowly, showing his nasty, wood-like teeth. This creature knew his master was right, that girl was the key to everything. She was the key to Thanos's original plan, the plan that would make him king over everything.
Of course, the plan would only work if the girl could pull off her part of the plan.
"She will do it, I know. It's her only calling." said the blue creature. Thanos grunted in reply. "My lord you are magnificent! You created her with your power, your own mind! She shall do your bidding and bring you to the punty Earth Loki did not destroy! She will build you an army, build you followers! You will be great, my lord, greater than any of your forefathers! Greater than your father!"
"Yes...I just hope little Maryah Stark is ready to handle her true duty! Her true power!"
Malibu, California, Tony Stark's House, 1500 hours
"Okay, JARVIS, you've got everything done for when they come home?"
"Yes, Ms. Stark, everything is ready and set up for your parents arrival."
A sigh. "JARVIS, I told you to call me Maryah, not 'Ms. Stark'. That annoys me a lot!"
"My apologies, Ms. Stark, but it is not in my programming to call you that. If you could hack into my mainframe and change your father's design, then I perhaps would be able to." replied JARVIS, the computer and 'best friend' to Tony Stark.
"I've already read over the codes, JARVIS, I'd need more than just a dinner with the Captain to get into that maze. The security system connected to you? No problem! But your code in general...that's a tough nut to crack. It probably took him a while too." replied Maryah. She sat on the very expensive couch in the main room connected to the kitchen, a glass of soda in her hand. In her other was a tablet with many numbers and letters scrolling down it at once. "When will they be home?"
"Estimated time of arrival is in one minute." replied the computer in his monotone voice. "Shall I unlock the garage for you, Ms. Stark?"
"Yes, if you'd be so kind. Make it so then when I enter, only I can go in until tomorrow." she replied as she got off the couch, soda in hand. With quick steps she made it to the kitchen, grabbed the box of pizza off of the counter, and headed towards the garage. The door swung open as she reached the door, and she closed it behind her.
She sat down in her father's desk chair, putting the pizza and drink to the left of her. Propping her feet up, she grabbed a piece of pizza and relaxed back into the chair.
"They are home, Ms. Stark." said JARVIS.
"Thank you for notification, JARVIS." she replied.
"You are welcome. Oh, and Mr. Banner is on the line for you, shall I patch him through?"
She nodded. "Go 'head."
JARVIS complied and the familiar face of Bruce Banner, or 'The Hulk', popped up on her screen.
"How can I help you Mr. Banner?" she asked, swallowing her pizza as she looked into the computer screen.
Bruce Banner gave her a knowing look. His hair was dischevled curly mess, not that it usually wasn't, but more than usual. Bags settled under his eyes, showing he'd been doing a lot of work lately which meant sleepless nights.
"Maryah, we've gotten past the 'Mr. Banner' shit since last week." he replied, a tired smile on his face.
"Fine, Bruce. What's up? Did my test results come in yet?" she asked nervously. The pizza was put down on the top of the box.
He nodded. "Yes, and it's not great. It's interesting, actually, that this chemical could go from you to Tony. I've never known paladium could be transmitted like that."
"But what if it wasn't given to me by my father?"
"You mean like the machine you have in you?" She nodded. "No, it had no traces of plutonium in it, I helped him make it so I should know."
She sighed and got up. "No, but what if it's not that either!"
"Maryah, calm down. What do you mean?" Bruce was now very concerned. When she was still at the Avengers mansion(before Pepper and Tony decided to take a vacation), Maryah worked in the lab with Bruce constantly. She was very impressed with his work and how he did it. She was, also, very impressed with how the Hulk was created.
"I don't know, Bruce. It's just...I keep seeing this creature in my dreams! Like last night, he was talking about me and Loki! He was saying how I wouldn't fail where Loki did! He was huge, like HUGE, and red. And creepy, don't ever forget fucking creepy! I'm just...it's freaking me out!" She stopped for a second and breathed. "And don't you dare look at me like I'm crazy! We could ask Loki if we wanted too! If the all supreme ruler that blue piece of shit alien told him about was Thanos!"
Bruce ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "Thor is on Asgard, but he's been watching you a lot. He probably just saw this conversation, unless Heimdall is watching over Jane. But he watches over all, and Thor cares for you like a sister. so he knows most likely. Listen, Maryah, just-wait...did you say Thanos?"
"Yes...I did. Why?" Maryah looked confused. "What are you thinking of, Bruce?"
"Nothing-I'll get back to you. Bye Maryah!"
The screen went blank and Maryah sighed. Her head fell as she began to scrounge to her father's desk, looking for the tool she'd been using for the past week. She found it, took out the box, then opened it to reveal a tiny silver mechanism her father used in his past. Quickly she brought the device to her finger and it pricked her.
"You're paladium levels are ten percent higher than yesterday Ms. Stark at thirty-five percent. Would you like me to do anything?" asked JARVIS.
She shook her head and sighed again. "No, it's okay. If I'm going to die, might as well do it in style by saving the world, right JARVIS?"
"If that's what you wish, Ms. Stark."
