Wanda's POV

"So there are more than six stones", Rhodes said.

"That is correct", Percy responded.

"And you have one other", Bruce said.

"We are in the possession of the other three", Percy concluded. They sat in silence for a moment. Not even Wanda knew about this. Did Vision learn of this and didn't tell her?

"This completely changes everything we know", Banner said blatantly. "How was Thanos able to snap if he didn't have all nine stones? How long have these been around? What powers could these hold? Wha-".

"You're overthinking it", Percy interupted. "Thanos was able to snap because the ones he used were the original original ones. The life and death stone later and the knowledge stone even later. These have been around for about seven thousand years, and as I said, these are the stones of life, death, and knowledge. The life stone can heal, the death stone can harm, and the knowledge stone gives you knowledge in exchange for a small bit of your soul".

"Your soul?" Banner asked. "Wha-"

"Again, you're overthinking it", Percy intercepted. "It gives you knowledge for your soul and that bit of soul powers the stone.

"However these stones are more powerful than the other stones. These ones need a mask. Something that weakens its power just enough to not kill everyone in touches. Hence the term, catalyst.

"Catalysts are rare, but our society has access to quite a few. I posses one, and so do some of my other friends. These are powerful on its own but with a stone it is blown out of the water. Thus, there is little that stops a catalyst wielder".

"And what is stopping you from turning it on the world?" Clint asked.

"Why would we turn it on the world?" Percy countered. "We have no reason to. We're more likely to kill one of you guys than we are to turn this on the world, and trust me, we have no intentions of killing you".

The conversation propmtly ended there. They went back to their respective worlds, and they didn't see each other for six months. Eventually, Percy called everyone back to camp.

"What happened?" Rhodes asked.

"Well", Percy sighed. "We were given a prophecy. These are never good things".

"What was it?" Banner asked.

Life and Mind have now become friends

Knowing they could be at the end

Of all planets and life alike

Death and soul are now the air strike

They will end civilization without a thought

Knowledge and reality have fought and fought

"It's not giving us much, but from what we understand, which is very little", Percy explained. "The death stone gets stolen, the weilders of the knowledge and reality stones will have a fallout, and the wielders of the life and mind stone will become friends".

"Wow", Banner said. "Thanks for stating the obvious. But we really are not doing very well as of now; group-wise and civilization-wise. If there is going to be an attack, it's going to be now".

"Then we'll have to be prepared for it", Percy said, obviously trying to sound (and failing) confident.

In the corner, you could hear Rhodes say, "We're so fucked".
