I'd be careful going that way.
We just had the floors waxed.
Yeah, I'm looking for Doctor Strange.
You're about five years too early.
Stephen Strange is currently performing surgery
about 20 blocks that way.
What do you want from him?
That, actually.
Ah!
I'm afraid not.
Sorry, but I wasn't asking.
You don't want to do this.
You're right, I don't.
But I need that stone and I don't have time to debate it.
Let's start over, shall we?
Please, please.
I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce.
If I give up the Time Stone
to help your reality, I'm dooming my own.
With all due respect, all right...
I'm not sure the science really supports that.
The Infinity Stones create
what you experience as the flow of time.
Remove one of the stones...
and that flow splits.
Now, this may benefit your reality...
but my new one, not so much.
In this new branch reality...
without our chief weapon
against the forces of darkness...
our world would be overrun.
Millions will suffer.
So, tell me, Doctor.
Can your science prevent all that?
No...
but we can erase it.
Because once we're done with the stones...
we can return each one to its own timeline...
at the moment it was taken.
So, chronologically...
in that reality...
it never left.
Yes, but you're leaving out the most important part.
In order to return the stones, you have to survive.
We will. I will. I promise.
I can't risk this reality on a promise.
It's the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme
to protect the Time Stone.
Then why the hell did Strange give it away?
What did you say?
Strange. He gave it away. He gave it to Thanos.
- Willingly? - Yes.
- Why? - I have no idea.
Maybe he made a mistake.
Or I did.
Strange is meant to be the best of us.
So, he must've done it for a reason.
I fear you might be right.
Thank you.
I'm counting on you, Bruce.
We all are.
