↳ "it's scott - it's a baby"

evi was awoken by steve's phone that was ringing.

they had both been sleeping on the couch after they had spent all night watching their favorite movies.

both steve and evi hadn't really been into watching tv at first. for steve it had to do with him still adjusting to his new time, not overly liking todays pop culture and evi never had so much as a living room or a tv when she was little. she only ever watched shows and films before the bombing, that being in the early two thousands, a lot had changed since then

a year ago, when steve had adopted her, he established a movie night, in which they both tried to get up with the latest shows and movies

steve's favorite were the office and dead poets society

evi shared the same favorite movie and also back to the future. but her favorite show had been gilmore girls, she remembered watching a few episodes when it just came out. and of course the dick van dyke show, which she held dear to her heart, but whenever they watched, they would skip the one episode. wanda's favorite, and the last one they had watched mere seconds before the bomb hit.

"bruce says we should come to the compound"

"sure"

"be ready in 10?" steve asked, as he watched evi get up and walk towards the steps.

"yep"

evi took out her phone, while she was walking into her room. quickly texting tony and asking him if he could make it too

-

"okay, here we go" bruce said half an hour later "time travel test number one, scott fire up the van thing"

"breakers are set. emergency generators are on standby" steve said walking towards bruce and evi

"good, because if we blow the grid, i don't want to lose, uh, tiny here in the 1950s"

"excuse me?" scott asked

"he's kidding" nat smiled "you can't say things like that"

"it was a bad joke"

"guys, why aren't we waiting for tony? i'm sure he will be here any minute now" evi said

"we don't have time for that, he said he wouldn't come" steve shook his head

"he will" steve and her kept a close look at each other. evi tried to mirror his honest expression

"we're good" said bruce "get your helmet on. scott, i'm gonna send you back a week.. let you walk around for an hour, then bring you back in ten seconds. makes sense?"

"perfectly not confusing" scott nodded

"good luck, scott. you got this"

"i still think we should wait" evi muttered to steve, but kept a toothy smile at scott, so he wouldn't be nervous about her worry

"you're right, i do, captain america"

suddenly scott was gone

"on a count of three. three, two, one," bruce pressed a thousand different buttons and scott was back but he was .. a child?

"uh, guys? this- this doesn't feel right"

"what is this?" asked steve worryingly

"what's going on?"

"who is that?"

"i think that's scott" evi assisted

"yes it's scott" the kid exclaimed angrily

the next second he was gone once again, and an older version of him stood in front of them.

"what's going on bruce?" the man asked "oh my back"

"can you bring him back" steve walked closer to the machine

"i'm working on it"

scott turned into a baby, it seemed that whatever bruce did, it was the wrong thing.

"it's a baby"

"it's scott"

"yes, bruce but about forty years too early" evi exclaimed

"he'll grow"

"oh, you're gonna bring him up? feed him with your breasts?" evi asked sarcastically

"just bring scott back" steve interrupted

"when i say kill the power, kill the power" bruce instructed

"oh my god" nat muttered

"and... kill it"

luckily with that, the normal scott turned up again. "somebody peed my pants" he said as a greeting

"oh, believe me, we know" evi smiled

"but i don't know if it was baby me or old me.. or just me me"

"time travel!" bruce exclaimed excited, opening up his arms

"yeah.. no"

"i see this as an absolute win"

"maybe you need new glasses"

evi and steve walked outside together, ignoring bruce protest, that everything would work the second time they would try

suddenly they could hear a car approaching in the distance, tony coming to a halt in front of them

"why the long faces?" he asked "let me guess, he turned into a baby"

"among other things, yeah" steve nodded "what are you doing here?"

"didn't evi tell you i would come?"

"yeah, didn't i tell you he would come?" she asked her father sarcastically

"yeah you did, i'm sorry"

"alright, it's the EPR paradox" he explained while climbing out the car "instead of pushing lang through time, you might've wound up.. pushing time through lang. it's tricky, dangerous. somebody could've cautioned you against it"

"you did"

"oh, did i?" the irony nearly hit steve in the face "well, thank god i'm here. regardless, i fixed it" he pulled up his hand, holding a little metal thing. "a fully functioning time-space GPS. i just want peace. turns out resentment is corrosive and i hate it"

"me too"

"we got a shot of getting these stones, but i gotta tell you my priorities. bring back what we lost, i hope, yes. keep what i found, i have to, at all costs and maybe not die while trying, would be nice"

"sounds like a deal" said steve while shaking tony's hand "we can share those priorities if you don't mind" he smiled looking towards evi

tony walked toward the end of the car, pulling out steve's shield.

steve sighed. "tony, i don't know"

"why?" tony asked "he made it for you, plus honestly, i have to get it out of the garage, before morgan and evi take it sledding, i heard them talk about doing that"

steve took it into his arm. "thank you, tony"

"will you keep that a little quiet? didn't bring much for the whole team" he turned back at steve and evi "we are getting the whole team, yeah?"

"we're working on that right now"
