── BANNER'S WARNING ──

── ☆ ──

Alessia gasped painfully as she tossed and turned in her bed as a sudden scene appeared in front of her eyes. Asgardians laying dead by the hands of Thanos' people, Loki standing in front of the titan himself as he lifts Thor by his shirt. Alessia had tears falling from her eyes at the sight of the gauntlet on Thanos' hand as he began crushing Thor's head before pushing a purple infinity stone to his head tormenting Loki.

Loki finally stopped Thanos from harming his brother further. Loki held out his hand as he glanced from his brother to the mad titan standing before him, the tesseract appearing in his hand as he stepped towards Thanos, "I assure you brother, the sun will shine on us again." The words were distant in Alessia's ears but they still held the familiar pain and heartbreak.

Suddenly, the hulk appeared throwing Thanos into a wall as he let out a roar. Alessia jumped up letting out a high-pitched scream as her power sent an after wave of energy causing all the lights to turn on and blow. She was breathing heavily as Bucky sat up pulling his wife into his arms as she mumbled the same thing over and over again, "He is coming. The titan is coming for us all." Bucky rubbed her back soothingly as she felt the death of Loki through Thor's scream.

Alessia stood in the small kitchen in their cabin home in Wakanda as her hands continued shaking. Bucky approached her slowly before carefully placing his hands on her waist, kissing her cheek as she took slow deep breaths letting the presence of her husband calm her. "Something bad is coming our way, Bucky. I can feel it," Alessia says as she turns to him. Bucky kissed her forehead as he realised just how shaken up she really was, "We'll get through it, we always do." She attempted a smile when a knock on the door caught their attention, "Mr Barnes, it's time for another session."

Bucky looked at Alessia who smiled sweetly, "Go, I'll be alright." He hesitantly agreed, kissing her passionately before leaving her to ponder in her own thoughts. A sudden spark of energy caught her attention, she made her way outside to see Stephen Strange standing there. "Mrs Barnes, I'm afraid I must advise you to come with me. The fate of the universe is at stake," Dr Strange tells her making her sigh as she used her power to leave a last-minute note for Bucky letting him know that she was okay and with her new mentor.

She followed him through the portal only to be met with Bruce, she smiled at him as they hugged. "Mrs Barnes, huh?" Bruce spoke softly, Alessia smiled at him as she pulled away, "You missed my wedding day." Bruce smiled sheepishly as Dr Strange left to bring Tony to them per Bruce's request, "Tony Stark, I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way."

Alessia turned to a shaken up Bruce with a sad and broken expression, "I saw it, Bruce, I felt Loki die through Thor." Tony and Pepper were stunned by the sudden appearance of Dr Strange before Bruce and Alessia stepped through the portal into the view of Tony and Pepper. Bruce hugged Tony as he and Pepper looked at Alessia. "Hey, Tony. You need to come with us," Alessia says as she smiled lightly at Pepper.

Tony was sat on a bench as Stephen, Bruce, Alessia and Wong all stood around. "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," Wong explains using his magic to show the birth of the infinity stones. "Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time," Dr Strange continues before he opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone emitting emerald light.

Tony looked up at Bruce, "Tell me his name again." Bruce stepped forward, "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!" Alessia ran her fingers through her hair as everything crashed down on her within her mind.

Dr Strange's coat of levitation swirled around her gaining the attention of Stephen and Wong who quickly realised the worthy nature she possessed for the cape. "This is it...What's our timeline?" Tony starts off whispering to himself before looking up at Bruce with the question.

Alessia stepped forward as the cape approached Dr Strange again, settling back onto its rightful place upon his shoulders. "No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, which already makes him the strongest creature in the whole universe. If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony..." Bruce explains as though those very words carried the weight of the world. "He can destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of," Strange adds as Tony stood up from the bench.

Tony leaned against a cauldron stretching as though he was preparing for a marathon, "Did you seriously just say "hitherto undreamt of"?" Alessia rolled her eyes at the comment as Strange scoffed, "Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?" Alessia zoned out of their conversation as a strange spark of energy coursed through her body making her eyes glow to which Bruce had noticed. He went to step forward when Tony's voice caught both his and Alessia's attention, "If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?"

Alessia shook her head at Tony's comment knowing it would be a classic thing in any conversation with him. "No can do," Strange answers him before Wong continues, "We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives." Tony scoffed at Wong's response, "And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry's named a flavour after me, so..."

The three men continued talking about ice cream until Alessia stepped forward, "Enough! That's not important right now." Strange looked from Alessia back to Tony, "Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. This Stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos." Alessia nodded in understanding.

"And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us," Tony adds before glancing at Alessia hoping for her assistance in this, unluckily for him, Alessia was on Strange's side of things. "Well, if we don't do our jobs," Strange comments making Alessia quickly realize that their egos were just as large as each other.

The two continued bickering until Alessia had enough sending a light spark of energy out to shut them up, "That is enough! You two are so damn childish, the universe is in danger so deflate the ego's for a moment." The man stayed silent as the woman calmed down, her glowing golden eyes fading back to her normal eye colour.

Bruce nodded before stepping up next to Alessia, "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." Alessia and Tony made eye contact before Tony explained that Vision had turned off his transponder.

Before realizing that Steve would be able to find him which lead to Bruce telling Tony to call Steve which left Alessia running her fingers through her hair awkwardly as Bruce noticed the change in their demeanour, a newfound tension between the two.

Tony looked up at Bruce, "The Avengers broke up. We're toast." Bruce shook his head slightly before speaking in a surprised yet let-down tone, "Broke up? Like a band? Like The Beatles?" Tony sighed, "Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms."

Bruce looked at Alessia who looked down under his gaze knowing it was better not to speak up about it. Bruce turned back to Tony, "Tony, listen to me. Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not." He pleaded which made Alessia look up at him.

Tony hesitates for a moment looking at Bruce then Alessia before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering 'flip phone'. It seems as though he brings it everywhere, always ready to call his lost friend causing a smile to appear on Alessia face knowing the two would be able to reconcile their friendship.

Before clicking "Call", he pauses, distracted by an unusual rumbling. "Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?" Tony asks Strange who looks up at the loose strand of hair, "Not at the moment, no." Tony looks at the Hulk-made opening through the ceiling and sees debris flying by outside.

He exits the Sanctum through the front door and scans the chaotic surroundings, people running and screaming in alarm, the traffic becoming impossibly tangled, a trash-filled wind like a tornado blew through the streets. A woman falls nearly at his feet and he helps her up, "You okay?"

The woman ignores him and runs away. A car crashes in on a pole behind Tony as Alessia followed behind him, watching as the people scramble away from whatever was endangering them, Alessia mentally prepared herself for whatever was to come though she knew; Her visions were coming true.
