In outer space, a large ship was floating around without any specific direction in mind. Inside the ship, there were thousands upon thousands of Chitauri creatures working on similar or separate tasks. In a room on the ship, and large throne like chair sat in it. On top of the throne, a purple Mad Titan sat there while his servant, Maw, kneeled on one knee to Thanos.
"Have you found the last signature of the Mind Stone?" Thanos asked grimly.
"No sire, it's simply not possible from this distance. And whoever absorbed its power uses it only every now and then which only makes it more difficult to locate them." Maw explained.
"We must find the Mind Stone quickly. If this Earthling bonds with the Mind Stone to 100%, it's only a matter of time before his power skyrockets." Thanos said, clearly upset.
"What's the percentage of their bonding?" Thanos asked.
"From this distance, I can only calculate a range. The absorbtion process is definitively less than 8% as of now." Maw answered respectfully. Thanos put his right hand on his chin and gazed at the stars thoughtfully.
"Get us closer to Earth without having any of 'them' notice us. It's unwanted trouble, even if we could win a battle if one was to break out." Thanos said. Maw nodded and went to the navigation/control room of the ship to change direction of the ship and boost in the direction of Earth.
'Your time is coming human.' Thanos thought menacingly as the ship stopped just outside of the Earth's exosphere.
"Is camouflage mode on?" Thanos asked his humble servant as they approached him.
"Yes sire. The new and improved calculations will be given to you the next time the human releases a signature." Maw explained diligently.
"Good." Thanos grinned.

'It's ready.' I thought. I had just finished testing a copy of the game that was sent to me by Pablo. It's been weeks since my encounter with Colleen Wing and I haven't visited her since then.
'It's best to keep my distance from her until I'm certain she realizes who the Hand really are.' Because of this thought, I've been keeping track of the fights being held in the cage to see if she books a fight. She hasn't yet, so I have other matters to attend to.
["Its up."] Pablo said over the phone. I leaned back in my chair and breathed a sigh. It was unreal to me that I had "made" a video game.
"Thank you Pablo." I said in to the phone.
["Just remember my part of the deal old man."] Pablo said before hanging up the phone.
'You're only a few months younger than me.' I thought, preventing myself from twitching in irritation. I rubbed my temple and thought deeply. There was no point in checking sales, because I know that the game obviously wouldn't have any by now.
It was only released on Steam and mobile as of now. The game would need to get bigger before attracting companies such as PlayStation or Xbox.
'I'm bored again, but I think I've had enough adventure for the days.' I looked back towards the laptop on the desk and had thoughts run through my mind.
'I have nearly zero experience in the stock market, but if I dabble in companies that are small that I know become big, I'd surely make something.' I thought.
I hopped on the stock market and began to buy and invest in companies that were familiar to me and popular in my past life. I looked at my portfolio and analyzed it closely to make sure I was correct in my selections.
Seeing I was, I closed the laptop.
'Sigh, it could take years before some of those companies to rise to glory.'

Else where in New York, stranger things were happening.
In a place known as 177 Bleeker Street, a strange looking house sat. Inside the house, a bald woman sat on a specialized mat in a medative position. A green stone in a necklace in the shape of an eye glowed brightly, and it's been doing so for a long time.
The bald woman was of course the Sorcerer Supreme, also known as the Ancient One. She was trying to figure out how and why the Time Stone was glowing the way it was. She found out long ago, but simply couldn't find out a solution to fix it.
In her eyes, her options were very limited.
"I've never peacefully visited anyone who thought outside of my morals. But for the sake of the world, I might have to." The Ancient One thought. She glanced down at the Time Stone and grazed it with her fingers.
'The Infinity Stones were created from the Big Bang. Because of their immense power when combined, they've always wished to be reunited with one another to be one big energy source. The Time Stone senses the Mind Stone energy within Azrael and wants to reunite with it in hopes that Azrael finds the other stones.' The Ancient One confirmed to herself.
She's thought about this over and over again in hopes that she figures out how to make the Time Stone not attracted to the power without either killing Azrael or giving him the Time Stone.
She was in a small pit and seeing into the past and even the future gave her no other way.
'What are you, Azrael Maximoff?'
