As Thanos continued to traverse the roads towards Sokovia, he couldn't help but wonder about his own nature. Was he a mere pawn in someone else's game, manipulated by an unknown higher power, or was it the results of some cosmic coincidence that led him to this reality. He tried to push these thoughts aside and instead focused on training his psychic abilities. With each passing day, his mind reading and emotion reading powers expanded, now reaching the range of an entire house. Thanos spent his days honing his abilities while listening to the twisted thoughts of the voice in his head. He had grown used to the voice's murderous and funny commentary, and he found comfort in its company.

As Thanos neared the outskirts of Sokovia, he noticed a city in the distance. He knew that this was one of the first cities that was part of Sokovia, and he felt a sense of elation wash over him. Thanos began to read the minds of the people around him, and he learned that the Novi Grad Bombings had already occurred months ago, and that civil unrest and riots had started. Thanos theorized that the siblings' parents were already dead and that the latter had probably chosen to be experimented on, in order to acquire superpowers in the process. He decided to change his plans accordingly.

Thanos wasn't entirely sure who was responsible for the bombings, but he suspected that it might have been the USA, who had been supplied with weapons by Stark Industries. He also considered Hydra, who had proposed to enhance the people of Sokovia after the bombings. taking advantage of their anger and desperation. It was possible that the US had chosen to bomb Sokovia because there was a Hydra base nearby as well. The events surrounding the bombings were shrouded in mystery, but Thanos knew that he needed to find the siblings and make them his allies. The voice in his his head would sometimes suggest to promise the siblings vengeance, that they could kill the one who killed their parents. The perpreator, Tony Stark. But Thanos knew that these kind of methods would always bring negative results in the long term.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

'You have something better to propose? You will try making friends with unstably hormonal teenagers possessing reality warping powers and superspeed?'

The voice lampooned and Thanos answered.

"Maybe I will."

The voice turned quiet. Thinking that he managed to shut the voice up for once, the mad titan smirked.

As Thanos drove through the destroyed city, he felt a wave of sadness and despair wash over him. The people around him were filled with hatred and fear, and he could sense their emotions and thoughts. Thanos began to roam the streets with his truck, hoping to glean some useful information about the siblings. As he continued to read the minds of the civilians, he began to focus on a particular woman. Thanos delved deeper into her mind and discovered that she was a Hydra agent. He learned that she had worked in several bases in the city, and that there was a rumor of people willing to receive experimental treatments to become superhumans.

Thanos gave a sinister smile, knowing that he was getting closer to his goal. He drove towards the base that he had seen in the woman's mind, eager to find the siblings and claim them as his own. As he approached the base, he noticed a duo of two armed guards standing outside. Thanos knew that he would have to be careful and precise in his actions. He parked his truck a few blocks away and began to plan his attack.

With his mind racing and adrenaline pumping through his veins, Thanos began to formulate a plan. He knew that he had to act fast and take the guards by surprise. He silently approached the guards from behind, using his enhanced psychic abilities to read their minds and predict their movements. In one swift motion, he grabbed two skulls and violently squeezed them under his purple grip, taking them down with ease.

"Ehm, I'll need to buy some gloves."

A mad Titan exlaimed, waving his hands to get rid of the juicy mixture of brain matters oozing out from his hands. Taking a card from one of the dead guards, he put it on a scanner next to the door. A few seconds later, a green light appearead and a smiling giant entered the base of one of the most widespread organization in the world.
