── CHILDREN OF THANOS ──

"F.R.I.D.A.Y., what am I looking at?" Tony asks after he's put on his tech glasses before it responded, "Not sure, I'm working on it." Tony turned to look at Strange, "Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!" Alessia looked between the two ready to cut off any banter that may happen.

"Might wanna use it," Strange tells him as bands of spells are readied around his forearms. A mechanical hum grows louder as Tony approaches the intersection. As he turns the corner, he sees a huge circular ship floating over Bleecker Street.

Alessia knew instantly what was happening and what was coming and she wasn't sure she was ready to face this, she wasn't certain that they could all get through this. She looked at Tony, a pit forming in her stomach as she let out an anxious sigh allowing herself to breath deeply and focus on the task at hand.

A short distance away, On a school bus, the hairs on Peter Parker's arms stand up. He looks out the window and sees the ship. Tapping his best friend in the seat in front of him, "Ned, hey. I need you to cause a distraction." Ned turns around and sees the spaceship, "Holy shit! We're all gonna die! There's a spaceship!"

All of the students rushed to the back of the bus to look at the spaceship with mixed emotions. Peter quickly slides on one of his Stark-made webshooters, and webs the emergency exit lever on the opposite side of the bus. "What's the matter with you kids? You've never seen a spaceship before?" A legendary bus driver says as he turns to them.

Peter jumps out the window, clinging to the side of the bus and pulling on his mask before leaping over the side of the bridge, shooting a web-line and swinging free. He makes his way hastily towards the ship ready to help in any way he possibly could.

Over with the others, Tony orders F.R.I.D.A.Y to evacuate the area before Doctor Strange throws the Winds of Watoomb over Bleeker Street, and winks at Tony. The dust clears while Tony is begrudgingly amused for a split second. Alessia smiles sweetly at Doctor Strange who smiles kindly back making Tony roll his eyes at the two powerful magic users.

Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian exit the ship by transmat, "Hear me, and rejoice... You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to the balance of-" Tony is quick to cut off Maw, "I'm sorry, Earth is closed today! You better pack it up and get outta here."

Maw glares at Tony before glancing from Alessia to Strange, "Stonekeeper..." Maw then gestures to Tony, "Does this chattering animal speak for you?" Tony scoffed as Doctor Strange spoke, "Certainly not. I speak for myself."

Magical shields are readied with his fists before Strange steps forward, "But you're trespassing in this city and on this planet." Wong steps forwars readying his own magic as Alessia cracked her knuckles. "It means get lost, Squidward!" Tony taunts Maw making him scowl, "He exhaust me."

Cull Obsidian speaks to Maw in an untranslated language. "Bring me the Stone," Ebony Maw orders getting a quick response from Cull Obsidian before he drops his huge alien hammer and drags it along as he obeys his brethren.

Tony turns to Bruce allowing Hulk the opportunity to fight the larger alien but Hulk refuses causing Alessia to look at him with worry. Wong steps in front of Bruce as Tony looks to Alessia, "What about you?" She sighed as she turned to the larger creature.

"This is not what I'd call fun," Alessia mutters as her veins and eyes began to glow a vibrant gold, golden cracks of energy formed through her face as she levitated up. Maw watched the energy surged around her with awe knowing the power of the stones before realising the threat the woman would pose against the Mad Titan.

Alessia dropped to the ground before throwing up a field of energy similar to a hand held shield to block Cull Obsidian's attempt to slam his hammer down on her. She smirked up at him before forcing electric energy through the hammer into his system making him stumble back for the powerful energy.

She threw a couple of punches at the large beast before he managed to overpower her and throw her to the side, Strange using his powers to prevent her from slamming into the stone and brick before sitting her gently against the wall as Tony looked from her to the large alien.

Tony dons his nanotech Iron Man suit in the space of three steps. He grows a shield on one arm to protect himself against the large hammer belonging to Cull Obsidian. He then grows a set of blasters that easily throw the large creature back to Maw, who gestures and deflects his massive companion into some cars with telekinesis. Bruce and Tony get distracted by the reveal of the nanotech allowing Maw an opportunity to attack Iron Man.

Ebony Maw creates a spike of earth that throws Iron Man far up, and attacks the rest of the team with uprooted trees and other debris. Wong quickly summons the Shield of the Seraphim. Doctor Strange turns to Bruce, "Dr. Banner, if the rest of your green friend won't be joining us..."

Strange teleports Bruce to a nearby park along with half a taxi before sending Alessia through with him to keep the injured woman from the fight. Iron Man returns and joins the fight, pushing a car thrown by Maw back at him. Maw cuts it in half and lets the pieces fly past him, untouched.

Bruce rushes over to Alessia resting her head in his lap before brushing the hair out of her face, "Alessia? You gotta get up now." Alessia stirred before opening her eyes and looking up at Bruce, "You and Hulk have a lot to talk about, you know that. I think his ego is bruised."

Hulk made a slight show growling at Alessia's taunting words before letting out a low whimper allowing Bruce full control again making him and Alessia sigh in defeat knowing that Hulk wouldn't be making an appearance for them today.

Iron Man flies through Ebony Maw's obstacle course but is cut short by Cull Obsidian's hammer, sending him through a building and into the park at high speed, plowing into the ground and fetching up against a tree. Bruce and Alessia looked over at Tony before they rushed over to him frantically.

"Tony, you okay? How we doing? Good? Bad?" Bruce asks making Alessia sigh as she healed his deeper injuries that he had already sustained. "Really, really good. Really good. Do you plan on helping out?" Tony sarcastically answers him before breathlessly smiling at Alessia whose eyes began glowing for a moment.

Cull Obsidian arrives at the park and throws his hammer at Bruce and Iron Man. Alessia quickly pulled Bruce out of the way as Iron Man's energy beam deflects off Cull Obsidian's shield, slicing down trees. Alessia sits up against the tree breathlessly now wishing she hadn't left her bed ealier that morning.

She was now beginning to realise that her visions were coming true, they were no longer potential outcomes of the future. Iron Man is knocked down by Obsidian, who is about to deliver a decisive blow, but the alien's hammer is easily caught by Spider-Man.

Alessia smiled at the arrival of Spider-Man as she used her powers to clear the area to prevent any more danger to civilians. Cull Obsidian grabs Spider-Man and throws him away. "What is this guy's problem, Mr. Stark?" Peter asks Tony who quickly answers him, "He's from space. He came here to steal a necklace from a wizard."

Alessia shook her head as she stood up leaning against the tree, the use of her energy was draining and she needed a power source to refill but without Thor's lightening and Tony no longer having an energy source in his chest, she wasn't able to find a quick refill of energy.

Meanwhile, Wong and Doctor Strange fight Ebony Maw. Ebony Maw lifts several bricks from the ground and turns them into sharp points. He sends them towards Wong and Doctor Strange. The two make portals and boomerang them back towards Ebony Maw.

Ebony Maw moves a car to protect himself, but one spike still hits his head, creating a cut. Angered, Ebony Maw uses a broken fire hydrant's water stream to knock Wong back several meters, rendering him unconscious.

Doctor Strange snaps a whip of magical energy to bind Maw's hands and yanks, but Maw flies forward with the pull and pins Doctor Strange upside-down against a building, using the bricks to trap the Sorcerer Supreme. "Your powers are quaint. You must be popular with children," Ebony Maw taunts.

Ebony Maw attempts to grab the amulet only to be burned by a protection spell that had been casted upon it. "It's a simple spell, but quite unbreakable," Strange tells him with a small smirk. Maw scowled at the powerful sorcerer, "Then I'll take it off your corpse!"

Maw pulls Doctor Strange away from the building and throws him to the ground. Doctor Strange starts the gestures to use the Eye of Agamotto, but utility cables first pin Doctor Strange's arms, interrupting the spell and closing the Eye, while another cable winds around his torso, then tightens around his throat.

Doctor Strange falls unconscious and to the ground; Maw raises a portion of street pavement to use as a carrier, but the Cloak of Levitation works its master loose of the cable spiral and flies Doctor Strange away.

Soon enough, Strange is levitated past the park where Iron Man and Spider-Man fight Cull Obsidian. " Kid, that's the wizard. Get on it," Tony tells Peter before the teenager followed Ebony Maw who was floating speedily and upright on a small platform of burbling debris leaving a deep rut in the streets, who in turn chases the Cloak-driven Doctor Strange through Manhattan; Maw attacks him, throwing a Rocket Mortgage billboard at Spider-Man to be rid of him.

Maw bends all the utility poles in the path of the fleeing Cloak, finally snagging the loyal garment and ripping it loose of its master. Spider-Man scoops up Doctor Strange before he hits the pavement, but before he can get away with the unconscious Doctor Strange, a cone of blue light starts pulling the mage inexorably upwards. Spider-Man grabs a light pole to anchor himself, but Maw uproots it, sending Doctor Strange, Cloak and teenager on their way to his ship.

Cull Obsidian's hammer doubles as a claw, pinning Iron Man to the ground and shorting his suit. As Obsidian jumps towards Iron Man, blades ready to end this fight, he is sent through a portal instead. The alien turns and leaps to return the same way, but Wong closes it rapidly; only Obsidian's severed hand makes it back to the park.

Bruce kicks the hand away with a noise of disgust. "Wong, you're invited to my wedding," Tony comments before flying off after the spaceship where Peter is holding on for dear life as he runs out of oxygen the higher it gets.

Bruce finds Tony's flip-phone in the debris on the street and picks it up thoughtfully before turning to look at Alessia watching as Wong opens up a portal back to the Sanctum. "Where you going?" Bruce questioned the wizard.

"The Time Stone's been taken. The Sanctum remains unguarded. What will you do?" Wong questions Bruce as Alessia approaches them before looking up to where the ship had disappeared to. Bruce held up the phone for both heros to see, "I'm gonna make a call."

I won't be writing the movies scene by scene, I will be writing the scenes that involve Alessia. If you wish to know what else happens, Go watch Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Love you all!
