Ch#3- Thanos!?

[Marvel Opening Credits]

"Anyone knows what Marvel is?" Tony asked and everyone shakes their heads.

[Radio transmission sound]

Asgardian PA: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault, I repeat, we are under assault -

"Asgardian Refugee Vessel!?" Tony asked Thor. "What happened."

"My Friends, Asgard is no more." Thor sighs.

"But they were supposed to be one of greatest power of Galaxy?" Carol asked.

"Ragnarok." Loki said as it supposed to be answer her question. It did, to some people. Others not so much.

Before anyone can say anymore, Strange started the 'movie'.

Asgardian PA: The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. [the voice becomes more desperate and pleading] Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, we have very few soldiers here. This is not a Warcraft. I repeat, this is not a Warcraft!

No one said anything. Loki seeing Sanctuary 2 paled. And Thor noted 22 jump points, in his head.

[Inside the ship, Ebony Maw walks among the bodies of dead Asgardians. Heimdall, badly wounded, reaches out as if he would stop Maw as he passes, but lacks the strength. Maw steps over them with no mind as he speaks, as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.]

Everyone was Horrified by the state of one of the Biggest power in Galaxy.

Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan... You may think this is suffering... No. it is salvation.

"Salvation!?" Shuri asked outraged.

"He is on screen for maybe 10 seconds and I hate him" Tony said.

Everyone nodded in Agreement.

Ebony Maw: Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... [Corvus Glaive stabs one of the lingering Asgardians] For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos.

"Thanos!?" Quill said horrified.

[Loki stands with the Black Order. He watches Thanos, shrouded in darkness and light, a vague silhouette.]

Every eye turn to Loki and he visibly gulped.

Strange seeing Loki on screen surrounded by others at gun point if you say so. He thought other things going on and before anyone say anything, he again started the movie.

Every eye instantly turn to Screen.

Thanos: [Looking out the large window we saw at the end of Thor: Ragnarok] I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right... yet to fail, nonetheless. [lifts Thor by the neck of his breastplate. Thor struggles feebly.] It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say... I AM.

"Is he Thanos?" Asked Strange and get nods from, Drax and Gamora.

[Thanos holds up his hand to reveal the Infinity Gauntlet, which already hosts the violet Power Stone.]

"How he get it!?" Quill asked. "We gave it to Nova Corp. Its on Xandar."

"Maybe, someone on screen will explain?" Peter explained, in somewhat self questioning tone.

Thor: [now being held by Thanos with one huge hand wrapping around his head; blood drools from his mouth] You talk too much.

"You Joked!?" Tony asked in mocking Shock.

"Not now Tony." Steve said and Tony sensing the tone of 'movie' nods.

Thanos: [to Loki] The Tesseract, or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference.

"Tesseract!?" Said Carol, Fury and Clint.

"Why Loki AGAIN have the Tesseract?" Clint asked after shock.

But Movie continued.

[The Black Order heft their weapons or smirks, as appropriate]

"Well something says, you are not with them." Thor said relieved.

Loki: Oh, I do. Kill away!

"Loki!?" Almost everyone said, except, Thor, Guardians, or Carol.

Thor looked down, thinking of what Loki said.

[Thanos' face expresses surprise briefly before presses the gauntlet to Thor's left temple. The Power Stone glows brightly. Thor screams hoarsely.]

Every was shocked at seeing a God screaming.

Tension was getting higher with pointed looks to Loki.

Loki: [starts losing his cool demeanor almost immediately as Thor suffers, and breaks after only a few moments] ALL RIGHT, STOP!

"Alright" T'challa said.

Everyone relaxed.

Thor looked Hopeful.

Thor: We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard.

[Loki glances at Thor like he knows something he doesn't. He lifts his right hand into the air and the Tesseract reveals itself]

"Why we are Not surprised" Clint said with hand in air.

Thor: You really are the worst brother.

Loki: [While holding the Tesseract out to Thanos and advancing] I assure you, brother... the sun will shine on us again.

Thanos: Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian.

Loki: Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian. And for another... We have a Hulk.

"What!?" Came from everyone except Loki, Banner and Thor. From Avengers and Agents in excitement and from Guardians and Carol in confusion of what can get Avengers this excited.

And Tony pouted "You stole My line." Pointing to Loki, who just shrugged.

[Thanos looks to his right just as a green and very angry mass slams into him. Loki dives for Thor, pulling both of them out of the way as the Tesseract skitters across the floor, and the Hulk charges Thanos. The Hulk pummels Thanos, forcing him backwards and shoving him into the wall of the ship. Maw stops Cull Obsidian from interfering.]

Avengers were Cheering. And others had a Smile on their face.

Ebony Maw: Let him have his fun.

Pin drop silence felt. Cheering stopped and smiles vanished.

"He cannot defeat the Hulk, Can he?" Wanda wondered.

[Thanos pries the Hulk's hands away; an expression of surprise and fear crosses his green face. After several hard blows, Thanos picks up the Hulk and slams him to the deck, defeated.]

"What!?" Bruce exclaimed.

Avengers had shocked looks and other have frown on their faces.

[Thor slams a metal bar across Thanos's back to no avail, is kicked across the deck by Thanos and is promptly bound in metal debris by Ebony Maw to keep him from interfering further.]

"I am gonna kill this Guy." Tony snarled angrily. And got nods from everywhere.

Heimdall: [prays] Allfather… let the dark magic flow through me one last... time.

[Heimdall summons the Bifrost, which carries the Hulk away; he meets Thor's eye.]

"Good now you can warn us before." Tony said thoughtfully.

Everyone had a relief of Bruce being safe, but also a fear of what will happen to Heimdall now.

Thanos: That was a mistake.

[Thanos borrows Corvus's glaive and stabs Heimdall through the heart, twisting the blade in the wound.]

Thor: NO!!!

"No!!!" Thor said with his movie counterpart.

Every head drops to the heroic work of Heimdall.

Thor: [after Thanos kills Heimdall] You're going to die for that!

Ebony Maw: [shuts Thor's mouth with his telekinesis] Shhh.

Everyone agreed with Thor and vows to stop this Maniac.

Ebony Maw: [kneels before Thanos, offering up the Tesseract] My humble personage… bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones. The universe lies within your grasp.

"You are wrong Maw. I have had Tesseract and Sceptre at the same time. I wielded Two stones before." Loki pointed out smirking.

"Would you just Shut Up" Strange said angrily and started the movie again.

[Thanos crushes the Tesseract, revealing the blue Space Stone. He blows some of the fractals away, fingering the Stone between his thumb and index, before placing it on the gauntlet, and is momentarily rocked by the surge of energy that pulses as the stone seats in its setting.]

Thanos: There are two more Stones on Earth. Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan.

"Two!?" Fury exclaimed, "one is in Vision's forehead but where is the other one"

Strange just sat there without phasing. Thinking he have to explain them a lot.

Proxima Midnight: [kneeling] Father, we will not fail you.

"Father!?" Tony smirked. "Is they really are his Children?"

"Adopted" Gamora said.

Before anyone ask how she knew it. Movie again started.

[Loki emerges from behind the Black Order]

Loki: [cheerfully] If I might interject… If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena.

"Loki!?" Everyone said outraged.

"Can you please decide which team you are on?" Tony asked with mocking puppy eyes.

Thanos: [unimpressed] If you consider failure experience.

Loki: I consider experience, experience.

Loki: Almighty Thanos, I... Loki... Prince of Asgard... [looks significantly at Thor] Odinson... The rightful King of Jotunheim... God of Mischief... do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity.

Everyone was starring at Loki, intensely, when notices Dagger, and Prying for Loki to Succeed.

[Thor squints and notices a dagger materialize in Loki's hand. Loki braces himself, thrusts upward with lightning speed and attempts to stab Thanos, but is frozen in place by the Space Stone's power before the point could strike home.]

"Oh no." Was the word everyone uttered or thought.

Thanos: "Undying." You should choose your words more carefully.

[Thanos twists the dagger out of Loki's hand with his right hand, then takes hold of Loki's neck with the gauntlet and lifts him to eye level. Loki struggles, kicking, as his throat is squeezed. He makes eye contact with Thor before he increases his force on Loki's neck.]

Loki: [Giving up on fighting against Thanos] You will... never be... a god. [Thanos smiles at him, crushes Loki's neck, killing him]

"No!!" Came from Thor.

Everyone was watching Loki with a Sympathy even Clint. He will not accept it but, not even Loki deserves this Fate.

Thanos: [walks over and drops Loki's body in front of Thor] No resurrections this time.

[Thanos raises the gauntlet, sends violet Power fire through the remains of the Statesman, and uses the Space Stone to teleport away with the Black Order.]

Thor: No… Loki…

[Thor is released from his bonds. He crawls over to Loki's body and lays his head down on Loki's chest, shedding tears for all that he has lost. The ship explodes.]

"Did this just Happened." Tony asked. "Did Thor died" he choked as he uttered last words.

None said anything.

[The Bifrost continues its journey, bringing the Hulk across space to Earth.]

"At least you are safe, Doctor Banner." Vision tried to see positively.

[Sanctum Sanctorum, New York City]

[Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, proceeds down the main steps of the Sanctum with Wong.]

"Ohh it's you." Peter said.

Doctor Strange: [dressed in casual American clothes] Seriously? You don't have any money?

Wong: [dressed as Wong is always dressed] Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual.

"You a Monk?" Natasha asked.

Strange just rolled his eyes.

Doctor Strange: I'll tell the guys at the deli. [wryly] Maybe they'll make you a metaphysical ham on rye.

Wong: Oh, wait, wait, wait, I think I have 200.

Doctor Strange: Dollars?

Wong: Rupees.

Doctor Strange: Which is?

Wong: Uh, buck and a half.

"You guys seriously are broke. How you maintain the house in New York." Tony asked smirking.

"Magic!?" Peter said.

"Well, Let's do this, Do you all like drinks." Dr strange asks.

"I want that beer, Wizard." Thor exclaimed.

Everyone has a drink in their hands. Thor had Beer, others have Tea.

"Tea?!" Tony said.

"Okay here you go." He asked everyone what they want and give them their drinks.

Peter, Groot and Shuri had Orange Juice.

Loki, Bruce and Natasha has Tea.

Clint, Scott and Fury had Coffee.

Tony, Rhodes, Sam, Bucky, Hill and Gamora had Wine.

T'challa, Quill and Carol had Cocktails.

Steve, Wanda, Vision had Apple Juice.

Drax, Rocket, Mantis also had Beer.

Doctor Strange: What do you want?
Wong: I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt.

"If you can do this" pointing at her wine "why you go outside?" Asked Hill.

"Well all this drink's taste depends on me, how I remembered them. Sometimes real food is good." Strange shrugged.

[Bruce crash-lands through the Sanctum stairs. The Cloak of Levitation swirls around Strange's shoulders immediately.]

Bruce Banner: Thanos is coming. He's coming...

Doctor Strange: [Sharing a look with Wong, and now fully in his mage attire] Who?

[Title Screen: Avengers: Infinity War]

"Hey why you get us here if it is about Avengers?" Quill asked.

"I don't know!? I got a message for taking you all here and get you all to watch this." Strange shrugged.
