Time

1 Year Later

Tomura sat in his home and looked over his warehouses, it had been a quick year. Honestly nothing really happened, a few scuffles a ton of exploring and fighting random eldritch horrors with Strange.

Strange was now the Sorcerer Supreme, in less than 2 years the man was highest rank possible for a sorcerer. He didn't expect anything else from the genius but it was still surprising.

The Avengers had a fight, and well he's not even sure the Avengers are a thing anymore. Neither side Caps or Tony's wanted to recruit him.

Given he took down a military base and threatened to murder the Secretary of State neither needed him apparently.

He looked over at Jean, she was sleeping. The relationship they had developed, it was more serious now with more nights spent with each other than alone.

He was happy about that for sure, but was worried. Him and Strange now had 5 different Nomus they had found on destroyed planets.

He didn't know why.

Did All For One just enjoyed destroying random planets? Him and Strange hadn't found any similarities between the planets.

All the signs pointed to was needless destruction.

All For One hadn't left a message, hadn't even appeared in his thoughts nothing.

No signs, no contact.

It was eerie, it felt like the god wanted him to get comfortable.

He looked back at Jean, and he had to admit he was getting comfortable. That doesn't mean he had stopped his training at all, in fact he had met a certain Danny Rand recently on the streets and built a tentative friendship.

When Tomura found out the man was a billionaire he had the sudden urge to scam him but ignored it.

From then he met plenty of other Vigilantes that Danny knew, the standout one had been a certain Daredevil.

The man had claimed to be blind and it just made zero sense, none at all. How could a blind man fight so well?

Him and Danny Rand had to be the best martial artists he has ever met and he had to admit he had learned quite a bit of the men.

In return he had given them his number and given them to call him if they ever had need of a hero with abit more firepower.

They had agreed but he wasn't sure if he was ever going to get that call, they seemed to stick to lower tier villians.

Well lower tier was a bad way to put it, they were despicable but just couldn't blow up a city.

He climbed back into his warm bed and made sure not to disturb Jean as he didn't want to wake her up.

Turns out she's not a fan of early mornings like him, and if she's ever woken up too early she will more than likely throw the perpetrator out of a window.

He looked at the recently repaired window and winced, the memory wasn't the most pleasant.

The Bifröst tore down the Sanctums roof and magical defenses apart like paper, Strange quickly raised his guard.

An Asgardian attack would be frankly outrageous but if Loki was still ruling it couldn't be disregarded.

But when a familiar Bruce Banner was left naked on the remains of what used to be a staircase Doctor Strange felt something in him urge him to check the future.

"T-Thanos" were the words that dragged themselves out of his damaged throat as he passed out in the floor.

Strange felt a pit if dread enter his stomach and settle as he thought on that name.

Tomura was sat opposite Jean, they were eating at some fancy restaurant. He looked back at the food infront of him.

It was nice though he thought to himself as he dug into the meal. Jean called the meal a brunch, he felt weird even saying the word.

Isn't it just an early breakfast? He thought to himself as he looked back upto Jean.

Before he could speak a sudden portal opened underneath them. Tomura groaned as the table, chairs, food, Jean and Him came tumbling out of the portal onto the Sanctums floor.

He stood and glowered at Strange, he went to speak but was beaten to it by Jean. "If you don't want to be telekinetically castrated you might want to explain, fast" she said towards the Sorcerer Supreme.

Tomura winced at the image, that was unnecessarily cruel. He would have just threatened to punch the man…not castrate.

"We've got a visitor coming to Earth, he is looking for the Infinity stones and wants to wipe out half of the universe" he said plainly leaving Tomura and Jean both confused "Was your food perhaps more important than trillions of lives?".

Jean looked like she was going to agree with the man's last question but Tomura spoke up. "Infinity Stones?" He asked.

"They are the 6 pillars of creation" he pulled up some sort of magic conjuration that displayed six stones.

"Power, Reality, Space, Time, Soul and Mind" he explained "If this visitor does get all the stones he will wipe out half of life in a single burst of power"

Tomuras eyes were now wide as he looked towards Jean, he swallowed and turned back to his friend. "How long do we have?" He asked.

"Not even 24 hours" he said with a clenched jaw "Now he currently has 2 stones but he will have 4 when he gets here trying to get the last 2"

Tomura felt oddly sick, what the fuck.

"What's the plan?" He asked the Sorcerer.

Who to Tomuras dread shrugged helplessly "Tomura I need you to collect all the heroes in New York. Jean you need to contact the X-Men" Tomuras friend seemed to be working off autopilot as he thought on the spot.

"Okay, I can do that" Tomura said with a nod "Where do I bring them?" He asked.

Strange spoke "Bring them here"

Jean nodded "I'll let the X-Men know, can you open a porta-" a sudden portal to the Xavier's School opened to her right and she nodded in thanks before departing.

"Strange" Tomura said and the man looked at him "What's this guys name?".

"The Mad Titan Thanos"

SORRY FOR THE TIMESKIP! I was gonna do an arc with Doctor Doom and ease my way to Thanos but honestly I think I backed myself into a corner and timeskip was the only way out. Sorry :)
