Chapter 75: A Meeting With Dr. Strange

(Queens, New York. April, 2018. Y/N's age: 20)

Y/N's P.O.V

Right now I'm out in the field as Spider-Man along with Kate as Hawkness.

We're dealing with some bank robber's outside the bank.

I web two robber's to a wall and turn to see their friends aiming their guns at me.

Y/N: Ah, crap.

The leader steps forward.

Leader: You're dead, Spider-Man.

Just then they get hit by an explosion arrow and knocked out.

I quickly web them down before turning to see Kate on car with her bow.

Kate: Looks like I'm always having to save your ass, Cowboy.

I walk over to her.

Y/N: What can I say? It's an ass worth saving.

She puts her bow on her back before jumping into my arms and wrapping her legs around me.

I spin and set her back down.

Y/N: Thank you for saving me, again.

Kate: You're welcome, baby.

After that we see cop cars show up.

Y/N: Alright, let's go.

I hold her close and web swing away with her.

(Five minutes later)

Katie and I are now on a rooftop nearby.

I take off my mask.

Kate: Well, that was fun.

Y/N: It was.

We then hold each other close.

Kate: So, what now?

Y/N: I say we just go back to our apartment and relax for the rest of the day.

She smiles.

Kate: That sounds great.

She and I lean in to kiss.

Just then I hear something next to us.

We look over and see a portal open.

A man with a clock comes out.

???: Y/N L/N, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me.

Katie and I look at him.

Stephen: Oh, uh, sorry. Didn't mean freak you guys out like this, or interrupt...

Y/N: It's fine, but why are you here?

Stephen: Like I said, I need your help. And I have a friend of yours with me. 

Just then Tony steps out.

Y/N: Hey, Tony.

After that I see Bruce come out.

My eyes widen.

Y/N: Holy crap. Bruce?

He smiles.

Bruce: Hey, Y/N.

He comes over.

Bruce: It's so good to see you, kid.

He and I hug.

Y/N: You too, man. What's going on?

Stephen: Y/N, the fate of the universe is at stake and we need your help. Just you. Sorry, Miss Bishop.

I look to Kate.

Y/N: Katie, I...

Kate: I know. Go.

(Ten minutes later)

I'm now at the Sanctum with Tony, Bruce and Dr. Strange.

I told Kate to go to the Avengers Compound with Ben and I'd meet them there later.

Strange and his friend, Wong talk us through the creation of the six Infinity Stones.

Space, Reality, Power, Soul, Mind and Time Stones.

Tony and I look at each other.

We then look to the other's.

Tony: Tell me his name again.

Bruce: Thanos.

We stand up and walk over.

Bruce: 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.

Y/N: (Whispers) This is it.

This is what I saw six years ago when I touched Loki's scepter. It has to be.

Y/N: Bruce, what'd he look like? Thanos?

Bruce: Uh, he was big and purple with a golden gauntlet.

Y/N: It is him. I knew it.

Stephen: What do you mean?

Y/N: Six years ago when we first got Loki's scepter, I made contact with it and had a vision.

Wong: A vision?

Y/N: Yeah. I saw Thanos with that gauntlet and the Infinity Stones.

Stephen: Did you see anything else that could help us?

Y/N: No. Nothing.

Tony: Okay, what's our timeline?

Bruce: No telling. He had the Power and Space Stones. That already makes him the most powerful being in the universe. If he gets his hands on all six stones, Tony.

Tony starts stretching.

Stephen: He could destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of.

Tony: Did you seriously just say, "hitherto undreamt of?"

Stephen: Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?

Strange wacks Tony's hand away.

Tony faces him.

Tony: I'm going to allow that.

I sigh.

Y/N: Look, if Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?

Stephen: No can do.

Wong: We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone with our lives.

Tony: And I swore off dairy, but then Ben & Jerry's named a flavour after me.

Tony and I try to convince them to get rid of the Time Stone, but they won't budge.

Y/N: Look, whatever. The point we're trying make is that things can change.

Stephen: Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. And this stone maybe the best chance we have against Thanos.

Y/N: Yeah, so conversely, it may also be his best chance against us.

Stephen: Well, only if we don't do our job, kid.

Y/N: And what is your job, exactly? Besides making balloon animals.

He smirks.

Stephen: Protecting your reality, you little shit.

He and I glare at each other.

Bruce: Okay, can we table this discussion right now? The fact is 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.

Tony: Yeah, that's the thing.

Tony then tells Bruce about Vision being gone.

Stephen: Who could find Vision then?

I sigh.

Y/N: Probably Steve Rogers.

Stephen: Oh, great.

Tony: Maybe.

Bruce: Call him.

Y/N: It's not that simple. Alot's changed, Bruce.

Bruce: What does that mean?

Y/N: Look, Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms anymore.

Bruce: Why?

Y/N: Because his bestie killed my birth parents.

Bruce: Oh, damn.

Tony: And that's why Cap isn't around anymore. Like I told you.

Bruce steps forward.

Bruce: Y/N, listen to me. Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. So, it doesn't matter who you're talking to or not.

I nod.

Tony looks at me.

Tony: It's your call, kid.

Y/N: Okay, I'll call him.

I pull out the burner phone Steve sent me.

Just then my spider sense starts going haywire.

I look over to see Strange's hair moving.

Y/N: Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would ya?

Stephen: Not at the moment, no.

We all hear a rumbling noise and look up to see objects flying past the window.

Something is coming. I can feel it.
