[Aron's first Person POV]

  Natasha tensed. "The good."

  "The good news is that the alien girl's name is Nebu and she's Thanos's daughter. Thanos is a mad Titan who wants to destroy Earth and offer the souls to Lady Death. Why is it good news? Well, because we got time to prepare for the threat," I sighed and tinued, "The bad news is that Thanos is going after the Infinity Stones. Now, if he gets his hand on all the six stones, he would bee practically unstoppable. He dismahe entire universe into atoms and recreate it on his vision with a snap of his finger."

  Natasha sat up straight with a baffled expression. 'You gotta be kidding me!' She thought.

  "Nope. Not kidding. Sorry, for reading your mind." I apologized.

  'It's fine...' She pressed her eyebrows in worry and looked down.

  "We o inform Fury. How long do we have?" She asked, standing up.

  "Thanos is building the Infinity Gauo taiones' power, that's all I got from her memories and well, he got a massive army so yeah it's not gonna be pretty," I answered as I stretched my o the side. "So, give or take a couple of months to a year,"

  'Damn, that's insane,' She muttered and paused.

  I grabbed Natasha and teleported to Nebu, then after grabbing her I teleported to the Shield's base entrahe agents outside reacted almost instantly with their guns aimed at me, but then they realized it was Natasha and lowered their guns.

  Natasha lifted her hand as she stood before them. "Fury in?"

  "Yes ma'am," The agents replied and stepped aside for her to enter.

  We walked into the base, Nebu still encased in her ice prison, h behind me like some twisted trophy. Before me was Natasha, walking through the halls. I couldn't help but smirk a little. She was already ba aode, even after nearly dying. That's the Bck Widow for ya.

  The pce was full of agents and workers. Some were running around with files and others with boxes of supplies. Everyone was busy and focused on their work. There were turrets and cameras everywhere. The whole pce was heavily secured. The SHIELD agents stared as we passed. Some whispered. 't bme them, it's not every day one sees a frozen blue alien.

  We reached Fury's offiatasha didn't even knock—just barged in like she owhe pce. Fury looked up from his desk, his one eye narrowing as he took in the se. 'Thank God, she's alright.' He thought. 'She brought Aron and an alien?'

  "Romanoff," he said, his voice calm but sharp. "Care to expin? You went off-grid and none of the agents are replying. What happened out there?"

  Natasha walked towards Fury and sat down in front of him, while I pebu oable.

  "Everyone's dead. If not for Aron, I would have beeoo," She informed him.

  Fury turned his attention to me and asked, "Dead? How?"

  "Her," She poi the frozen Nebu oable. "We were waiting for the X-Force to arrive, but she got a jump on us and we were too weak against her cyberic impnts and teology. Send a team to recover the bodies." Natasha sighed, pressing her fingers against her forehead, recalling all those people that she lost.

  "Who is she?" Fury asked as he stood up to take a closer look at Nebu. "And why did she attack you?"

  "She's Nebu, Thanos's daughter," I answered. "She was seo acquire data oh's heroes and teology ahem back to Thanos. And well, she failed."

  Fury leaned ba his chair, his single eye narrowing. "You're saying this—" he gestured to the frozen Nebu, "—is Thanos's daughter, and she's here to scout Earth for an invasion?"

  I nodded grimly. "That's the gist of it. But instead of me expining everything, it's better if I show you two."

  Natasha tilted her head, her gaze pierg. "What do you mean, show?"

  I stepped closer, resting my hand oable. "I'll use telepathy to einds to her memories. You'll see everything firsthand—Thanos's quest, his army, and his pns. But fair warning, it's not going to be easy to watch."

  Natasha's lips tightened. Fury studied me for a moment befiving a curt nod. "Do it."

  I extended my telepathic power, linking their minds with mine and eg all three to Nebu's frozen sciousness. The fragments of her memories swirled in my head like shards of broken gss, eae sharp and jagged. I pieced them together carefully, guiding Natasha and Fury into the heart of her experiences.

  The office around us dissolved, repced by the bck void of space. Fury and Natasha stood beside me, invisible observers in Nebu's fractured mind.

  A young Nebu appeared before us—a child on a distant, barre. Her blue skin shimmered uhe harsh alien sun as she trained with other children uhe watchful eye of Thanos. He loomed above them, a menag figure of power and cruelty, his voice cold as he barked orders.

  "Only the strong survive," he said, his tone devoid of mercy.

  The se shifted to a brutal sparring match. A young Gamora, Nebu's sister, bested her in bat. Nebu fell, wounded and desperate, as Thanos approached.

  "You've disappointed me again," Thanos said, his voice dripping with disdaiioo his stists, whed the screaming child away.

  The memory shifted, showing Nebu undergoing horrific cyberic modifications. Piece by piece, her anic body was repced with maery, each surgery more brutal tha. Every time she lost, Thanos would repce a part of her with a mae. Natasha fli the sight, her jaw tightening. Fury's expression darkened, his eye focused ily on the se.

  Nebu's adult self emerged, a warrior hardened by years of torment. Her hatred famora and Thanos burned brightly, but so did her fear of her father.

  The se shifted...

  A p burned below us, its surfaed by fire and chaos. The skies were filled with smoke, and the screams of its inhabitants echoed faintly in the distahanos's massive ship loomed overhead, c most of the sky.

  Nebu stood otlefield, surrounded by Thanos's forces. His army was a nightmarish sight—Chitauri soldiers swarmed the ground, their grotesque forms running around and killing everything in their sight. Leviathans, massive serpentine warships, soared through the skies, raining missiles and psma on the fleeing popuce.

  At the forefrohanos's generals, and the Bck Order. Corvus Give, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, and Cull Obsidian ahe assault. The heroes of that p were falling like flies, uo resist the insane army.

  In the midst of the chaos, Thanos desded to the surface, his massive frame unyielding as he ran through the destru with his giant bde. The ground trembled beh his feet. Survivors who dared to fight were effortlessly cut down, while others were dragged before him in s.

  Ebony Maw called it honor and mercy. But it was nothing more than sadistic pleasure. It was a se of pure horror. Thanos raised his sword and brought it down on the helpless prisoner, splitting the man in two. Blood sprayed across the ground, staining the soil red. Then he killed them all, one by ohe Chitauri, the Bck Order, and everyone else on the p rejoiced in blood and sughter.

  Thanos then kneeled before a pile of bodies and closed his eyes, "My mistress... A small gift from an insignifit world. May its sacrifice please you. They shall be your sve ih."

  Then the se shifted...

  Nebu stood aboard the and deck of his fgship, watg as a hologram projected his vast army. The Chitauri were only one piece of the puzzle. The Outriders, horrifying creatures bred solely for war, moved iless waves, their cws dripping with blood. Entire fleets of warships, each bristling with onry capable of decimating ps, were stationed across the gaxy.

  Thanos's forces were a juggernaut of destru that had already cimed tless worlds.

  Nebu's fear deepened as Thanos turned his gaze to her. "Earth," he said, pointing to a glowing hologram of the p. "They will resist, but they will fall. And when they do, I will offer their souls to my mistress." He leaned ba his throne and looked at Nebu, who just went through another enha. "Your new enha will give you an edge. Leave. Gather intelligen their heroes and teology and don't fail me again. Gamora, how's the search for the infinity stones going?"

  His voice echoed throughout the and deck.

  "Knowhere. Collector. I will he alpha team," Gamora said.

  "Take them," Thanos ordered as he stood up and walked to Gamora. He then pced his hand on her shoulder. "Daughter... Once I get the stones, I finally do what must be done. Offer all souls to my Mistress. You must succeed." He paused and looked at Nebu, "All of you must succeed."

  The se shifted again...

  Nebu arrived oh, her mission clear. She used two decoys to attract the attention of the heroes. First was an army of robots in the Sahara, where they would attack the heroes or anyone who arrived there first. If a few civilians die, then the heroes are bound to show up and those robots will s the heroes' fighting style, teology, and power ahem back to Thanos.

  Then the sed decoy was at the North Pole where Natasha and the rest were waiting for the X-Force to arrive. The X-Force arrived and well... You guys know what happened. With her captured, she could send those data back to Thanos. In short, Thanos has all the information on the Avengers who went to the Sahara, but thanks to my quick thinking, he shouldn't have mufo oants or me, since I captured Nebu and there was nothing in her memories that says she transferred the info.

  But let's say, Thanos saw everything through her impnts during ht, well, that purple fuckface will only know that I use ice power.

  The memories faded, and we were ba Fury's office.

  Natasha's hands gripped the chair's armrests, her knuckles white. Fury leaned forward, his expression grim. her spoke at first, the weight of what they had just witnessed settling over them like a suffog cloud.

  "That army…" Natasha finally said, her voice low. "It's… it's too much. Even if we had every hero, every resource, it's not enough."

  Fury exhaled slowly, his eye fixed on me. "And those stones. If he gets them all…"

  "He won't," I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tension. "There are two Infinity Stones, right here oh."
