I drove incredibly fast as I make my way to the old headquarters. I turn the car very quickly and drive up on the driveway where I see Steve Rodgers standing there. I stop the car but pull the car back a bit and rolled down the window.

"Why the long face?" I asked Steve. "Let me guess. He turned into a baby." I said. "Among other things, yeah. What are you doing here?" Steve asked as I start to get out of his car.

"That's the EPR paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky. Dangerous. Somebody coulda cautioned you against it." I said. "You did." Steve said to me. "Oh, did I? Thank God, I'm here. Regardless, I fixed it." I said as I hold up my fist to show a small circular device on the back of my hand.

"A fully functioning time-space GPS. I just want peace. Turns out, resentment is corrosive, and I hate it." I said to Steve. "Me, too." Steve said.

"We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priority is to bring back what we lost? I hope, yes. Keep what I found? I have to, at all costs. And, maybe not die trying will be nice." I said and Steve nods. "Sounds like a deal." Steve said and we shake hands. Then I go to the trunk of my car, open it and pulls out Steve's shield.

"Tony, I don't know..." Steve said, with uncertainty. "Why? He made it for you. Plus, honestly I have to get it out the garage before Morgan takes it sledding." I said as I hand the shield to Steve, who accepts. "Thank you, Tony." Steve said.

"Will you keep that a little quietly? Didn't bring one for the whole team." I said as I shut the trunk. "We are getting, the whole team, yeah?" I asked Steve. "We're working on that right now." Steve replied and we enter the building.

"Drifting left. On the side there, Lebowski." I said to Thor as I wheel in some parts for the time machine while Thor was walking around, carrying a can of beer. He finally came back after Bruce and the raccoon convinced him to come back but I gotta say...he really let himself go. "Ratchet, how's it going?" I asked the raccoon. "It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're not the only genius on Earth, pal." Rocket remarked as he continues to work on the machine.

Later on, Natasha brought Clint Barton back from Tokyo. She had been looking for him the last few years and Rhodey was able to track him down, since he went rogue and hunted down bad guys, because he felt that they should've died not his family.

But anyway, Clint volunteered to test out the machine once it was fixed and eventually, Rocket got it fixed. Clint was wearing the new white and red suit as he climbed up on the machine and Bruce began to type away on the control panel. "All right, Clint. We're going in 3...2...1..." Bruce counts down and a second later Clint was gone.

We waited for about ten seconds before Bruce flips some switches and pushed buttons and Clint returned, hunched over and carrying something.

Natasha runs to him first as Steve and I follow her. "Hey, hey. Look at me. You okay?" She asked him as he starts to stand up. "Yeah. It worked. It worked." He said as he holds a baseball mitten and tosses it to Steve, who catches. Then all of us look around at each other and smile at this accomplishment.

"Okay, so the how works. Now we gotta figure out the when, and the where." Steve said as we were gathered in a conference room, staring at the screen that showed all six Infinity stones. "Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones." He said. "Well, I'd subtitute the word encounter for damn near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones." I corrected.

"I haven't. I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about. Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history. Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in." Scott said as he looks around at everyone.

"Which means we have to pick our targets." Natasha said. "Correct. So....Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?" Steve asked and all of us turn to Thor, who was sitting in a chair, motionless. "Is he asleep?" Natasha asked. "No, I think he's dead." Rhodey said.

Eventually, Thor wakes up and walks up to the screen that showed the Reality Stone. "Where to start? Umm...The Aether, first, is not a stone. Someone's called it a stone before. Ahem...It's more of a...an angry sludge, sort of thing. So...Someone's gonna need to amend that, and stop saying that." Thor rambles while everyone face-palms at this meanwhile Scott was doing his best to listen.

"Here's an interesting story, though. About the Aether. My grandafther, many years ago, had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. Scary beings. Ooohhhh." Thor said as he raises his hands and wiggles his finger, indicating something spooky.

Then he taps on the screen and a picture of a woman appears. "So Jane..Oh, there she is. That's Jane...She's...an old flame of mine. She...she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time... and then the Aether stuck itself inside her. And, she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my Mother..." Then he stops as he starts to frown at this. "...who's dead, and umm....Oh, you know. Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so...These things happen though, you know. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that..." Thor continues until I stand up and walk over to him.

"Why don't you come sit down." I said. "I'm not done yet. The only thing that is permanent in life, is impermanence." Thor said and everyone just stares at him. "Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" I asked him. "No. I'd like a Bloody Mary." Thor replied and I rolled my eyes at this.

"Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag." Rocket said as the screen shows the Power Stone. "Is that a person?" Bruce asked. "Morag's a planet. Quill was a person." Rocket said as he walks along the table and everyone was eating Chinese food.
"Like a planet? Like in outer space?" Scott asked. "Oh, look. It's like a little puppy, all happy and everything." Rocket said as he walks over to Scott then he starts to pet the top of Scott's head, like one would with a puppy. "Do you wanna go to space? You wanna go to space, puppy? I'll take you to space." He said.

"Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir." Nebula said as the Soul Stone appeared on screen. "What is Vormir?" Natasha asked her. "A dominion of death, at the very center of Celestial existence. It's where...Thanos murdered my sister." Nebula replied and all of us look up at her in shock. "Not it." Scott mutters.

"That Time Stone guy..." Natasha said, vaguely, as her and I were laying on top of the table while Bruce was on the floor. It was late and we were all very tired. "Doctor Strange." I said. "Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?" She asked me. "Neurostuff meets rabbit from a hat." I said. "Nice place in the village, though." Bruce said. "Yeah. Sullivan Street." I said. "Hmm... Bleecker." Bruce corrected me.

"Wait, he lived in New York?" Natasha asked us. "No. He lived in Toronto." I said, sarcastically, while Bruce said. "Yeah, not Bleecker. It's Sullivan."

"Guys, if you pick the right year, there are three stones in New York." Natasha said and all of us sat there in shock silence. "Shut the front door!" Bruce exclaims in shock as he sits up.

"All right. We have a plan. Six stones, three teams, one shot." Steve said the next day and all of us went to go get ready for the mission.

*Flashback*

"Day 11, test 37, configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety." (Y/n) said as I stand in the middle of the basement, once again, and she stands off to the side. I turn to the robotic arm and threatened it. "If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college." I said then I turn to (y/n).

"All right, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with 1% thrust capacity." I said and I get into a stance. "And three, two, one." She counts down and I push the button and was able to hover up a few feet.
"Okay." I said as (y/n) looks up at me in shock then she smiles.

I land back down then look over at the robot arm, that was holding the fire extinguisher, and said. "Please don't follow me around with it, either, 'cause I feel like I'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down! If something happens, then come in."

I turn my head to (y/n) and said. "And again, let's bring it up to 2.5." She nods then she taps on the tablet then gives me a thumbs up. "Three, two, one." She said and I start to hover higher in the air.

"Okay, this is where I don't want to be!" I said in fear as I start to fly over towards the cars nearby. "Not the car, not the car!" I said as I fly away from the car and over to the table, making papers fly around. "Table!" I exclaimed and moved away from the table.

"Could be worse!" (Y/n) said to me as I hover around. "Yeah, you're right....Could be worse. We're fine! Okay." I said, assuring myself as I hover in the air for a few more minutes then I land down.

"Yeah, I can fly." I said and she claps her hand. "That was awesome!" She said and runs over to me. I kneel down and she hugs me. "We did it, babygirl." I said to her and she looks up at me. "I love you, Daddy." She said and I smile down at her. "I love you too, babygirl." I said and we hug each other again.

*Present Day*

"Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends...We lost family...We lost a part of ourselves." Steve said as we, wearing the new suits, stand in the middle of the time machine. "Today, we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know. But it doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other." He said as I look up at him and smile.

"This is the fight of our lives. And we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck." He said and we put our fists in the middle, like friends do when the put their hands on top of one another, then we stand back and stand towards the edges.

"He's pretty good at that." Rocket said to Scott. "Right?" Scott exclaims. "All right. You heard the man. Stroke those keys, jelly green." I said to Bruce, who was typing away at the control panel. "Tractors engaged." He said as Clint opens his hand, holding a shrunken version of the Benatar.
"You promise to bring that back in one piece, right?" Rocket asked Clint. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay." Clint mutters but Rocket continues to stare at him. "I'll do my best." Clint said with a smirk.

"As promises go, that was pretty lame." Rocket grumbles. The machine starts up and Bruce hurries over to stand with rest of us.
"See you in a minute." Natasha said, smiling, and we tapped on the GPS device on our hands. Then the helmets formed over our heads as the machine turns on and we were pulled into the Quantum Realm.
