Earth, New York, Sanctum Sanctorum

Tony and Bruce stood together in a corner along with Wong, while the Teserract was kept on a table. Strange was levitating in the air in a meditation position, green energy flowing around him while his head turned and twisted.

"And it's even weirder in person", Tony commented.

"So you have seen that before?" Wong inquired.

"Yes, we were shown that when we were in the future", Tony said.

"We know about you too, nice to meet you, Beyoncé", Bruce said, raising his hand, as Wong rolled his eyes and shook it.

"For some reason, I feel you have picked up my personality traits", Tony said to Bruce. "Because I'm the one who would do this."

"Well, let's just say I can have fun too", Bruce said and the two shared a chuckle.

Strange had his eyes closed and was breathing heavily, trying to look into all of the futures he could, and to see which one had them winning with the most minimum number of casualties.

Then suddenly he found his astral form in Space/Time, and before him was another Strange, an older one with greying hair and beard. The Eye of Agamotto was hanging on his neck as well, but it didn't feel as powerful as his own.

"Strange", Strange greeted the other one.

"Strange", the other one greeted back. "I see you are trying to determine the best future."

"You must be future Strange from the time period to which the Avengers were taken", Strange noted and his future self nodded.

"Correct", future Strange said to him. "Now you must be wondering why I am here."

"Trying to tell me how to win?" Strange asked.

"No", future Strange said. "Just, you do not need to rely on the Time Stone to look into timelines, that power lies in the Eye of Agamotto itself, the Stone just makes it easier to access due to its own time related capabilities."

"So you accessed it?" Strange asked.

"In the future, the Time Stone has been reduced to atoms for years", future Strange told him. "So yes, I have accessed the true power of the Eye of Agamotto, and that is why I am the Sorcerer Supreme. You can be too, once you tap into your true power."

"Thank you for the advice", Strange said gratefully as future Strange nodded.

"Good luck", future Strange said. "I know you can get through this."

"Thanks", Strange said as his future self disappeared, while Strange was back in the Sanctorum, hovering in the air once more.

"So, Sherlock, got anything for us?" Tony asked.

"Yes, I actually do, Sherlock", Strange replied back as he straightened and landed on the ground. "We have the Time and Space Stones here, you are about to take the Mind Stone out of Vision, and I can get us the Reality Stone easily."

"You're going to get it?" Bruce asked.

"Sure", Strange said.

Same time, Collector's Museum

Tanleer Tivan aka The Collector was carrying Cosmo away, petting him. "I know you love me, but we need to establish some rules."

Unseen to him, a yellow portal opened underneath the Aether behind him, and the Aether fell into it while the portal closed.

Same time, New York, Sanctum Sanctorum

"And there we have it", Strange said as Tony, Bruce and Wong looked at the Aether that housed the Reality Stone within it.

"Job well done", Tony said.

"Now come on, we have more work to do", Strange said he walked to them.

"Also", Tony said as Strange looked at him. "Mordo has been killing Sorcerers and absorbing their magic. Thought you should know."

Strange and Wong exchanged a sad look, clearly disappointed and heartbroken at what Mordo was up to, before Strange looked at Tony. "Thank you for telling us."

With that, he opened a portal and said. "Come on."

He then turned to Wong and said. "Keep the Reality Stone in a different Sanctum."

"Sure will", Wong nodded as he used magic to lift up the Aether and walked away with it.

Other than him, all of them walked into the portal Strange had opened and were back in the Stark Tower, as the other Avengers turned to them with wide eyes.

"And now I've seen it in person", Peter said cheerfully.

"It looks cool", Wanda agreed.

"So we have jobs to do, and I am here to help you out with them", Strange said before opening a portal. "That leads to Wakanda. King T'Challa, take Vision there with you, and get the procedure started immediately."

"Yes I will", T'Challa agreed as he turned to Vision. "Come on."

"I shall leave with him and return when the procedure is finished", Vision told the rest.

"Good luck", Wanda said as she raised both thumbs and he nodded.

"I know your sister can do this", Steve assured T'Challa.

"She will do it", T'Challa agreed before he and Vision shared nods with the rest and walked into the portal back to Wakanda, and then Strange closed it.

He then turned to the rest. "Once the Mind Stone is out of Vision, we shall go to Xander and convince them to let us help them against Thanos. Thanos would not have any of the Stones when he attacks Xander, so that is our best chance to take him out together."

"Yes, Xandar it is", Steve agreed. "And during that time, Thor will find the Guardians and Carol, and build Stormbreaker, then come to help us out."

"Oh! And Cap, there's something you need", Tony said he walked into a room. "Come on."

Steve followed him into the lab.

"I've got something for you, Cap", Tony said as he dug around until he found what he was looking for. "Here we go."

Steve stared in surprise as Tony pulled out his old shield, which had been repaired now from when T'Challa had scratched it at the airport in Germany.

"Like I would have said to you in 2023, he made it for you", Tony said. "And it took too much space in the lab anyway."

Steve took it gratefully with appreciation shining in his eyes as he looked at Tony. "Thank you, Tony."

"No problem, Cap", Tony said, and that was when Strange walked into the room.

"Dude, I don't have one for you", Tony said.

"I don't need one", Strange shrugged before turning to Steve. "Thanos broke your shield in 2023, didn't he?"

"Yeah, unfortunately", Steve sighed. "But we will try to avoid that this time."

"We can do a bit better", Strange said as he opened another portal. "To fight someone like Thanos, you need better than even an indestructible shield."

Strange walked into the portal and Steve followed, apprehensive for good reason. They found themselves in a grassy area.

"Where are we?" Steve asked before he realized where they were. "Wait! I remember this place from the recordings."

"This is Norway, Captain", Strange informed Steve before looking at something on the ground, and Steve followed his gaze to see what he was looking at.

"Oh!" Steve simply said.

The remnants of Mjolnir lay on the ground where Hela had shattered it. It was still lying there, with no change in its condition.

"I think I can use the Time Stone this once", Strange said as he pointed at the remnants and the Eye of Agamotto glowed while he rotated his hands anti-clockwise.

The remnants of Mjolnir were all covered in a green glow resembling a clock as they started coming back together while even the sky glowed brightly as energy was formed, and the energy slowly seeped into Mjolnir, which started humming and cracking, and in a few seconds, the hammer was fully formed again.

"This shall be what you can use to battle Thanos", Strange said to Steve.

Steve simply walked to Mjolnir, a bit transfixed by it, and stood over it.

"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."

Odin's words rang through Steve's head as he moved his hand towards the hammer's handle, and grasped it slowly but firmly.

Strange was 100% sure that King Arthur pulling Excalibur out of the Stone would have looked a lot like what he was witnessing, and he was proud and happy to witness this.

Lightning cracked in the sky and clouds gathered as Steve lifted Mjolnir up and raised it into the sky, closing his eyes as he felt the power of Thor go through him. When he opened his eyes, they were cracking with lightning due to him holding Mjolnir.

"So, how do you like your new weapon, Cap?" Strange inquired.

"Thank you for letting me have the honor of wielding this", Steve said gratefully and humbly. "Once the battle is over, I shall return it to Thor, as it belongs to him."

"Yes, but until then, it's yours", Strange said to Steve who nodded with a smile.

Same time, Space

"So we sure we have to find her first?" Heimdall asked.

"Yes", Thor said. "She is quite arrogant, she will not listen very easily. The Guardians, other than Gamora and Rocket, aren't the brightest, but not too arrogant, so they will listen to what I have to say, especially since they have had dealings with Thanos before, so they will know to take him seriously."

"Honestly, her excuse of there being too many planets still falls flat", Loki told Thor. "With the amount of genocide he committed, her not being around to stop him doesn't make sense."

"I know what you mean, she wasn't doing her duties properly", Heimdall said as his eyes widened. "She is very close by."

"I guess she is on this planet", Loki said as they stopped near it. "Why is she here at a desolate planet?"

"Probably checking something out", Thor said as he walked to where the ramp would be. "I will go talk to her."

"You sure that's a good idea, brother?" Loki asked.

"Well, as someone who used to be arrogant, I feel I am the best-suited to talk to her", Thor said as Heimdall nodded and pulled a lever, opening up the ramp.

Thor looked at them both and flew down, sensing her power coming closer, and hovered in mid-air as a golden light streaked to him before stopping and straightening as Carol Danvers looked at Thor, her body surrounded by a golden aura.

"Who are you?" Carol asked him.

"I am Thor Odinson, God of Thunder", Thor said casually. "And I know who you are. I am here because we need your help against Thanos."

"You know about him?" Carol asked. "Tell me where he is and I'll be on my way to beat him."

"You think you can do it alone?" Thor asked.

"Sure", Carol shrugged. "Just tell me where he is."

"If you could beat him alone, why haven't you done anything about him until now?" Thor asked and she flinched.

"I haven't met him yet", Carol said.

"Really?" Thor asked. "Because he has been committing genocide on multiple planets for years, going from place to place, and you haven't done anything about it, even though you go between multiple planets."

"Are you questioning how I do my job?" She snarled.

"I think I am", Thor shrugged casually. Next moment, he was punched on the face hard at high speed as he crashed on the planet, forming a crater where he fell.

He chuckled at what had happened as Carol streaked down at him but he rolled away to avoid the attack at the last moment as Carol slid while he got up.

She fired her beams but Thor fired his lightning, both grunting as they tried to overpower each other, but Thor's lightning overpowered her beams, and she was hit, being sent back by a few feet.

Before she could recover, Thor rushed her and punched her hard on the face, sending her back again as she crashed on the ground once more.

She groaned and got up as she looked at Thor, who was still smirking. She then rushed him at full speed again, managing to punch him away and was upon him, punching him multiple times.

Thor then put his hand in the way, blocking a punch, and moved her hand away before giving her a hard head-butt that sent her flying off and crashing back to the ground. Before she could get up again, Thor had his foot on her, pinning her down.

"You still think you are the biggest thing around?" Thor asked. "I used to think the same, then I realized the hard way that I really wasn't. You want to defeat Thanos, work with me and my friends, we know things about him, and what moves he is going to make, you don't know. The arrogance is only going to get you killed if you meet someone more powerful than you who is not a good person."

Carol seemed to consider as Thor gave her a hand and after some hesitation, she accepted as he took his foot off of her and she stood up.

"Never been beaten in a fight before", Carol said. It was obvious she still wasn't fully on-board, but she was slightly more open-minded now.

"First time for everything", Thor told her. "We still need your help after all, in the big fight. But we need to meet more people first."
