By the next day, the kids stayed with their babysitter while we drove down to see Tony.

Steve drove the car, I was in the passenger seat and Scott and Natasha were in the backseats. We soon approached Tony's cabin, and once Steve parked we all piled out to see Tony start to enter his house with Morgan. Tony was almost frozen in shock when he saw Scott with us. Morgan on the other hand waved. "Hi auntie rory, nat and uncle steve!"

Nat and I smiled along with the boys. "Hi morgan." I looked up to meet Tony's eye. "Can we talk?"

Tony did let us inside. He told Morgan to go wait inside and we spoke freely on the cabin porch.

"Now, we know what it sounds like..." Scott said in defense after explaining our plan.

"Tony, after everything you've seen, is anything really impossible?" I asked him as he poured me a drink. I mean, I'm- or I used to be a God. I'm from outer space for Odin sake.

"Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck Scale, which then triggers the Deutsch Proposition." Tony states. "Can we agree on that?"

We all just gave him puzzled looks since science isn't really any of our fields. I have no idea what any of that actually means. "Thanks," I said as he handed me the drink.

"In Layman's terms, it means you're not coming home." Tony said, explaining what he had said in more simpler terms.

"I did." Scott argued.

"No, you accidentally survived. It's a billion to one cosmic fluke. And now you wanna pull off a... What do you call it?" Tony corrected/questioned.

"A time heist?" Scott replied, trying to hide his pride.

"Yeah, a time heist. Of course, why didn't we think of this before?" Tony sassed. "Oh, because it's laughable? Because it's a pipedream?"

"The Stones are in the past. We can go back and get them." Steve shared with him.

"We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everyone back." Nat continued.

"Or screw it up worse than he already has, right?" Tony said with doubt.

"I don't believe we would." I said with a shake of my head. Things are already bad enough. I would like my children to meet their family, not just know about them from stories I tell them.

"Gotta say, sometimes I miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help if there's no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute said time heist." Tony explained. "I believe the most likely outcome would be our collective demise."
