Infinity Conquest

“This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman! We are under assault, I repeat, we are under assault – The engines are dead, life support failing! Requesting aid from any vessel within range…We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, we have very few soldiers here! This is not a war craft, I repeat, this is not a war craft!”

Inside the ship, Ebony Maw walks among the bodies of dead Asgardians. He steps over them as he speaks with no mind, as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.

“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. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile…For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos.”

In corner stands Loki, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive have their weapons drown on him and Cull Obsidian is standing behind them, growling.

Loki is staring ahead of himself, with fear in his eyes as he watches The Mad Titan.

“I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you’re right… yet to fail, nonetheless.”

Thanos starts speaking as he moves closer to Loki while he also grabs Thor, who was lying on the ground by head.

“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.”

Thanos holds his left hand up to show Infinity Gauntlet which already hosts the Power Stone that is glowing brightly.

Thor exhaustedly spits blood from his mouth “You talk too much.”

Thanos doesn’t react to him and continues staring at Loki

“The Tesseract, or your brother’s head. I assume you have a preference.”

Loki smirks “Oh, I do. Kill away!”

Thanos doesn’t hesitate and uses Power Stone against Thor’s temple. Thor stars screaming in pain as power of the Purple Infinity Stone enters his body.

Thanos doesn’t take his eyes away from Loki who starts to look concerned and afraid for his brother.

“ALRIGHT, STOP!”

Thanos immediately stops, not saying a word, just waiting.

“We don’t have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard.”

Thor tries to reason with The Mad Titan while he also spits some more blood.

Loki glances at Thor with apologizing expression before he lifts his right hand into the air and the Tesseract reveals itself.

Thor roles his eye looking down “You really are the worst, brother”

Loki moves closer to Thanos holding out the Tesseract while he is looking Thor directly into eyes “I assure you, brother, the Sun will shine on us again.”

“Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian.” Thanos says calmly and Loki smirks.

“Well, for one thing: I’m not Asgardian. And for another… We have a Hulk.”

Loki quickly tackles Thor out of a way as the Hulk emerges and fights Thanos.

Punches are exchanged and Thanos is forced into the wall of the ship. Cull Obsidian is moving to fight The Hulk but Ebony Maw stops him.

“Let him have his fun”

The Hulk punches Thanos into a face and then tries to choke him. Thanos collects himself and to Hulk’s shock he overpowers him, quickly punching him under his chin.

Hulk stumbles back and tries to punch Thanos again but Thanos dodges and throws his own punches.

In the end The Hulk wasn’t strong enough and Thanos and slams him to the ground.

Thor tries to interfere but Ebony Maw binds him to the ground.

Heimdall, who is lying not far away from The Hulk injured sees that The Battle is lost and makes a choice

“Allfathers… let the dark magic flow through me one last… time.”

Heimdall summons the Bifrost, which carries Hulk away. Thanos and The Black Order shift their eyes to him

“That was a mistake.” Thanos says as Colvus Glaive hands him his spear.

Thor realizing what Thanos is about to do tries to free himself but its too late. Thanos stabs Hemidall right through his heart and Heimdall dies.

“NO!!! You’re going to die for that!” Thor yells still trying to free himself but Ebony Maw only tightened his grip and gaps Thor’s mouth.

Ebony Maw smirks at Thor and presses his finger to his mouth “Shhhh” He then picks up The Tesseract and holds it out for Thanos to take.

“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.”

Thanos takes off his Battle Armor and Helmet and takes The Tesseract from Maw.

For a moment Thanos is just staring at it before he crushes it revealing the Space Stone. He places it on the gauntlet and power burst threw his body.

The Black Order kneels before him.

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

“Father, we will not fail you.” Proxima says standing up as do all members of Black Order.

Loki emerges from a separate section of the ship

”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.”

“If you consider failure experience…” Thanos says clearly not impressed.

“I consider experience, experience.” Loki says with frown before he starts to move closer to Thanos

“Almighty Thanos. I, Loki, Prince of Asgard… Odinson…” Loki says looking sadly at Thor who is watching this with concern in his eyes.

“The rightful King of Jotunheim, God of Mischief, do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity”

Loki continues and Thor notices a dagger in Loki’s hand. Loki tries to stab Thanos in neck but Thanos uses The Space Stone and Loki is frozen in place.

“Undying. You should choose your words more carefully.”

Thanos picks Loki by the neck and Loki goes pale as he tries to free himself from Titan’s grasp.

Thanos makes an eye contact with Thor who is again, trying to free himself, desperately.

Loki, Giving up on fighting against Thanos manages to whisper

“You… will never be… a god.”

Thanos snaps Loki’s neck, killing him.

Tears start rolling down on Thor’s cheeks as he tries to scream but cannot do even that.

“No resurrections this time.” Thanos says sparing one last glance at Loki’s body.

Thanos looks at Thor and looks like he is thinking about something before he slowly shakes his head and powers up Power Stone. The Ship starts to glow purple and Thanos opens a portal and with Black Order leaves.

Thor is released from his binds. He crawls over to Loki’s body and lays his head down on Loki’s chest, crying. Around him The Power of Power Stone builds up and The ship explodes.

Life is going well for Tony Stark.

He has everything that he ever wanted, family, friends, loving girlfriend and peace.

But, it could have been better, if there wasn’t a small militia, knocking on Clint’s doors.

Apparently, they are some guys that got burned during the whole “info dump” thing in 2014 and want revenge.

They wanted Romanoff, but she is somewhere in the wind, so they decided to go after the next best thing. Hawkeye.

Luckily for Clint… After Ultron, Tony spend a lot of time on the farm and made them even better defense system then the President has himself.

So Clint, knew they were coming miles before they arrived and it gave him time to prepare and call for back up.

Those assholes surely didn’t expect to fight against The Iron Man and Rescue. Judging by their surprised reaction.

Some of them outright bolted out of there, while others became even more eager for a fight.

Huh… Idiots.

That’s what is going inside of Tony’s mind as he dodges another purple blast coming at him and grunts.

Did he forget to mention that outside of Choppers, Armored Trucks, Exo Skeletons, they also have Chitauri tech ?

Seriously?…

How much ammo do you need to capture or kill two kids, a toddler, a housewife, and a guy with a bow and arrow.

Iron Man fires another missile at one of the choppers, destroying it instantly and making it come crashing down.

“Hey! Watch out for my farm!” Clint’s voice rings through the comms, but there is no heat behind his words.

“Relaaax. I already got a new one for you”

Tony can hear Clint humming through the comms. The Archer is grateful for everything that Tony has done for him and his family, but he still, feels guilty about the whole “Civil War” 

Tony told him many times, that it’s okay. That he doesn’t blame him for anything and that all is forgiven between them.

But Clint cannot help himself.

“Chief, Big Sis, Birbrain. Quinjet is almost at the position.” Jocasta’s amused voice comes ringing from the comms and Tony can hear Clint snort in annoyance.

Jocasta bless her… she is so much like Tony in personality that it’s almost scary.

“You can land Jo. The area is clear from idiots” Friday’s voice, also amused comes through comms while explosion is heard in distance.

“Okay, we are coming towards you.” Clint says and Tony sees from above as Clint is standing before his house, bodies all around him. Then kids and Laura come rushing outside.

Tony must give it to little agents… they have strong stomachs.

He hears a sound coming from a distance and sees three new choppers. Under them is at least seven other armored trucks, all coming right at them.

“Make it quick, second wave is coming!”

Tony instantly ducked to avoid being hit by another Chitauri beam and flied down, crushing on the top of on of the trucks, destroying it completely.

Some assholes manages to get outside the truck before Tony crushes it, but before they could run, he used his lasers and split them in half.

This job…

He quickly then fires another missile at the truck behind him and unibeam at the one before him. Killing it’s passengers instantly.

Isn’t pretty…

Tony looks up and sees that Friday, managed to destroy all three choppers without much of a trouble. She quickly turns her trajectory and flies in direction that the Quinjet landed. Tony follows quickly behind her.

Just as they arrived, Clint ran out outside the Quinjet to meet them.

“Thank you both so much for the help. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if you wouldn’t show up…”

Before Tony and Friday can say anything Jocasta’s panicked voice tries to warn them.

“Missile detected. It’s heading straight for you!”

They don’t have much time, only seconds. So, both Tony and Friday try to shield Clint as best as possible with their own bodies, but to no use. All three of them are send flying on the impact.

The suits absorbed most of the hit, but Clint is knocked out and his ears are bleeding. After making sure he doesn’t have any spinal injury, they quickly load him on to the Quinjet and they take off.

On the Jet, Laura is trying to stop Clint’s bleeding while Friday is keeping the kids preoccupied.

Tony runs a hand through his hair…

“Jo?”

“Yes dad?”

“Can you call Helen for me, please?”

“Already on it”

There is a soft beep and Helen’s sleepy voice speaks up. “Tony? Is everything okay?”

“We got them out, but Clint got hit. He doesn’t have any serious visible injuries, but his ears are bleeding.”

“Bring him to Malibu. I will see what I can do.” 

Tony is nodding, even when Helen doesn’t see him “See ya soon”

“Bye”

The call disconnects and Tony inspects his damaged Suit. It served him well, but it’s time for an upgrade.

Peter will be also excited to help with the suit.

The kid had been staying with them for a week now. School break.

In New York, it’s a sunny day and inside Sanctum Sanctorum. Dr. Stephen Strange is walking with his friend Wong down the stairs.

“Seriously? You don’t have any money?” Strange asks with raised eyebrow

“Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual.”

“I’ll tell the guys at the deli. Maybe they’ll make you a metaphysical Ham on Rye.”

Wong reaches into his pockets “Oh, wait, wait, wait, I think I have 200”

“Dollars?”

“Rupees.”

“Which is?”

“Uh, buck and a half.”

Strange roles his eyes “What do you want?”

“I wouldn’t say no to a Tuna Melt.” Wong replies catching up to Strange.

They are about to leave when The Bifrost lands on the Sanctum stairs and create small crater.

Strange and Wong quickly prepare for fight but stop when they see that Inside the crater, The Hulk is shifting back into Bruce Banner.

Bruce looks scared “Thanos is coming. He’s coming…”

Strange shares a confused look with Wong

“… Who?”
