Lavinia laid on the ground. She crawled towards her sword. Ebony Maw kicks it away. Bella hides behind the throne with Hudson in her arms. Regina sat on the ground, mourning for the dead Asgardians. Peyton sat next to Thor, who was injured. Heimdall laid on the ground, injured. Loki stood next to the Black Order.

"Here me and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. It is salvation. Universal scales tip towards balance because of your sacrifice. Smile. For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos".

"I know what it's like to loose", Thanos said. "To feel so desperately that you're right yet to fail nonetheless". Thanos grabbed Thor. He pushes Peyton away. "It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. But I asked you, to what end? Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say. I am".

The purple infinity stone in Thanos's glove shined. "You talk to much", Thor says.

"The Tesseract", Thanos says. "Or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference".

"Oh, I do", Loki says. "Kill away".

"No!" Regina shouted.

The power stone glows as Thor screams in pain. Lavinia looked at Loki, begging him to stop.

"Brother. Please", Regina begged.

"Alright, stop!" Loki shouted. The bright light faded and the screaming stopped.

"The Tesseract was destroyed on Asgard", Lavinia said.

"It's true", Loki said.

"Not exactly", Regina said. Everyone looked at her. She stood up and the Tesseract appeared in her hand.

"Regina", Loki said. Regina looked at the ground. "What are you doing?"

"I'm doing what you couldn't, brother. I'm giving Thanos the Tesseract", Regina said. "Did you really think I was on Sakaar for the past 50 years?"

"Regina. Why?" Peyton asked.

"I didn't want to do this to you, to any of you. But I have no choice", Regina said.

"Regina", Loki said.

"I'm sorry".

"The sun will shine on us of again".

Thanos chuckles. "Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian".

"Well for one thing, I'm not Asgardian. And for another...we have a Hulk".

The Hulk tackles Thanos as Loki and Regina pushes Thor out of the way. The Tesseract dropped to the ground.

Loki and Regina sat next to Bella. "Are you alright?" Loki asked. Bella nodded. "Stop trying to kill your brother. Is that some kind of hobby for you both?" Bella asked.

They looked at Thanos and Hulk. Hulk was defeated. "Oh god", Peyton said.

Thor punched Thanos, but it didn't hurt Thanos. Thanos kicks Thor to the ground. Metal flies towards Thor. It wraps around him, becoming a metal restraint.

The Bifrost came and lifted Hulk away. Thanos walks toward Heimdall. "That was a mistake", Thanos says. He stabs Heimdall.

"No!" Thor and Lavinia shouted, but Lavinia's shout was louder.

Lavinia crawled towards her husband. She cries into his chest. Bella looked at Hudson, who was asleep in her arms.

"This is all my fault", Regina said.

Lavinia got up. She ran towards Thanos, but a metal restraint wrapped around her and her legs, knocking her to the ground.

"You're going to die for that!" Thor said.

A piece of metal flies towards Thor and covers his mouth. Thanos walks toward Ebony Maw and grabbed the Tesseract from him. He crushed the Tesseract and it broke. A blue stone was in his hand. He placed the stone into his glove.

"There are two more stones on earth. Find them, my children. Bring them to me on Titan", Thanos says.

"Father, we will not fail you", one of them said.

Regina stands up. Thanos looked at her. "Well done, child. The rest is up to you. Kill them", Thanos said. Regina looked at Thor and Loki. Then, she looks at Lavinia.

Regina looks back at Loki. "The sun will shine on us again", She said, quoting what he said earlier. Loki realizes that his dagger was missing.

"Sister", Loki said.

"I'm sorry", Regina said.

She was going to stab Thanos, but he used the purple stone to catch her hand. "Disappointing", Thanos said. He grabbed Regina by her throat and lifted her off the ground.

"Let her go!" Loki shouted. He ran towards Thanos. Thanos pushed Loki away with the power stone.

"You've failed me. You and your brother",Thanos said to Regina. Regina looked at Thor and Loki. The three siblings had tears in their eyes.

"I love you", Regina says to her brothers before Thanos snaps her neck.

"Regina!" Loki and Peyton shouted.

Thanos walked towards them. He dropped Regina's dead body next to them.

"No", Peyton said sadly.

"No!" Lavinia shouted.

Thanos and his children disappeared and the ship began to explode. Lavinia and Thor were released from their metal restraints. Bella, Lavinia, Thor, Loki and Peyton gathered next to Regina's body. Loki held her body in his arms.

"Regina", Thor said sadly.

Bella gives Hudson to Lavinia. She puts a force field around them. "Jean will be here. I've seen it", Bella said.
