**Setting: Avengers Compound – Briefing Room**
It had been months since the final battle with Thanos, but for Jordan, the universe still felt like it was in a state of upheaval. The Avengers had not only won the battle but had also secured the safety of Earth for the time being. Yet, the war had left deep scars—both physical and emotional—that were not so easily healed.
Jordan sat at the briefing table with the Avengers, each of them looking wearier than before, but also more determined. The room hummed with the quiet energy of a team that had been through the worst and was now preparing for whatever came next. They had grown used to their role as the world's protectors, but they knew that the real fight wasn't over.
"We've had a relative peace," Steve Rogers said, his voice steady, "but there's something we're all feeling. The world's been put back together, but it's not the same as it was before."
Tony Stark, ever the realist, looked up from his tablet. "The universe never sleeps. Neither do its problems."
A holographic map of Earth appeared before them, and Tony zoomed in on several hot spots. Jordan looked closely. It wasn't just Earth at risk—it was the universe. There were signs of cosmic disturbances, dimensional rifts, and unexplained phenomena popping up all over.
"We're not the only ones who noticed," Tony continued, his voice grim. "Multiversal energy levels have spiked. We're talking about other timelines, other realities, colliding. Something's out there trying to break through."

**Setting: New York City – The Streets**
The Multiverse wasn't just a theory anymore—it was a reality. And Jordan's powers were key to understanding it.
Weeks had passed since the briefing, and Jordan was deep into his training. But something felt different. The air around him crackled with an unfamiliar energy, like the world itself was warping and shifting. His connection to the *Reality Stone* felt stronger, but also more unstable, like something was pulling on it from the other side.
As Jordan walked through the bustling streets of New York City, his senses were on high alert. The world felt… off. He had learned to tune into the vibrations of reality itself, to understand when things were out of balance, but today, it was impossible to ignore. The space around him rippled as if reality itself were being stretched.
Suddenly, the ground trembled beneath him. Cars swerved as if caught in an unseen storm. People screamed as shadows loomed from above—huge, glowing entities that appeared to be phasing in and out of existence. It was like the very fabric of the universe was tearing open.
Jordan snapped his fingers, using the power of the *Reality Stone* to stabilize the surrounding space, but the rift only grew larger. From the tear emerged a massive, cosmic figure—one that Jordan immediately recognized.
It was **Kang the Conqueror**—a being from the future, a master of time and the multiverse. His presence brought a chill to the air, and Jordan could feel the weight of his immense power.
Kang didn't waste time with pleasantries. "You're a powerful one," he said, his voice reverberating through Jordan's mind. "But you're too late. The Multiverse is already unraveling, and there's nothing you or your precious Avengers can do to stop it."
Jordan gritted his teeth, his powers flaring up. He raised his hand to summon energy, but Kang's presence seemed to dampen his abilities. With a flick of his wrist, Kang sent Jordan flying backward, his back slamming against a nearby building.
As Jordan struggled to get up, he could hear the roar of battle in the distance—his teammates were already fighting the other threats that had emerged alongside Kang. But Jordan's mind raced. The multiverse was in danger, and Kang was only the beginning.

**Setting: Avengers Compound – War Room**
The Avengers quickly mobilized to deal with the growing multiversal crisis. With the rift in New York still unstable, they began formulating a plan to deal with Kang and the others who were coming through.
"Listen up," Tony said, looking over the war room table. "We're dealing with something on a cosmic scale. This isn't just about taking down an enemy. This is about fixing the very fabric of the universe."
Steve Rogers nodded. "We've fought Thanos, we've faced the supernatural, and we've survived, but this is different. If we don't act fast, everything we've fought for could collapse."
Jordan stood with them, his hand clenched in a fist. He wasn't just going to sit on the sidelines this time. His powers were evolving rapidly, and he had a new understanding of how to use them—but he needed more training. More control. The stakes were too high.
"That's where I come in," Doctor Strange said, stepping forward. "I can sense the distortions in the multiverse. These rifts are being opened intentionally. Kang isn't acting alone."
Natasha Romanoff's voice cut through the tension. "So what are we dealing with here? Another big bad from another universe?"
"Not just any villain," Strange replied. "Kang is a time traveler—a conqueror. His plan is to collapse the timelines, destroy the foundations of reality itself. And he's not working alone. There are beings out there—dark forces—who want to see everything burn."

**Setting: The Cosmos – Beyond Earth**
While Earth struggled with the growing multiversal threat, the cosmic entities were also becoming aware of the unraveling realities. The **Celestials**, god-like beings that had once shaped the universe, began to stir from their slumber. Their interest in the Avengers' world had always been minimal, but now they watched closely.
At the same time, the mysterious **Eternals**—beings tasked with guiding and protecting humanity—were growing restless. They had their own role to play in the cosmic balance, but they were aware that their power could either save or doom the multiverse.
Meanwhile, **Galactus**, the devourer of worlds, had begun to stir from his slumber as well. The cosmic balance was disturbed, and with it, the hunger of the devourer. The Avengers would soon realize that the battle for Earth was about to intersect with the survival of the universe.

**Setting: Avengers Compound – Training Room**
Jordan knew that time was running out. Kang's arrival had made it clear that something much bigger than just a rogue villain was at play. His training had to accelerate, and fast.
He continued working with Doctor Strange, learning to harness the deeper layers of his reality-warping abilities. The bond between them had grown, with Strange guiding him to control the more chaotic aspects of his powers, teaching him to stabilize the rifts and protect the fabric of reality.
But even as Jordan grew stronger, he knew that his greatest test was yet to come. The forces of the multiverse were not easily defeated, and the Avengers couldn't do it alone. The universe was fractured, and it would take more than just their strength to set things right.
