* explanation: the last chapter was 3 years ago. Pretty self explanatory but just making it extra clear incase yous get confused*
Natasha POV
I was having a virtual meeting with rocket, nebula, Rhode, carol and okoye. These style of meeting will never feel normal to me. To weird.
Eventually they left, leaving Rhode who told me Clint was... well building up on red just as I once used to do. Thankfully I'm getting sent his next location and from there I'll go see him, bring him back to normal. Help him, the same way he helped me before any of this.
I sighed and put my feet up on the table leaning back in my chair, holding in the tears threatening to fall.
'I'd offer to cook you dinner, but you look pretty miserable already' Steve said catching me by surprise.
'Came here to do your laundry?' I joked
'Came to see a friend'
'Clearly your friend is fine'
'Hey listen' he said walking over and taking a seat on the table where my feet once were. 'I'm sorry I moved out'
'Listen. I get it. Really I do'
'I think you should too, Natasha'
'If I do that then who does this.'
'Maybe this doesn't need to be done anymore'
I looked at him 'before this I had nothing.'
'I know. But it's time to move on'
'Security breach at the front door' Friday said And then an image popped up of Scott.
'Hey guy? Hello? Anyone there. It's me. It's Scott. You mightn't remember me. I'm antman. Come on I know you know about antman.' He said through the speaker not knowing we were watching
My immediate reaction was shocked. Completely shocked. He was snapped away. Right?
'Is this a recorded message?' Steve asked
'It's the front gate...'
We let him in and he came running into the room and without even saying anything he picked up my peanut butter and started making a sandwich with it.
'Scott? You okay?' I asked
He explained to us what happened him. How he wasn't snapped away. He was stuck in the quantum realm or whatever it's called. How he was there for 5 hours when for us it was 5 years. How he thinks we could go back in time using the quantum realm and get the stones before thanos.
Which leads us to where we are now. Tony's house.
We pulled up and walked to the door of his, might I just say absolutely gorgeous, wooden house. Steve knocked and a few seconds later a litter girl pulled open the door.
'Oh... are you all the post men?' She questioned
'Uh, no. We, um, we need to talk with your... dad?' Steve said
'Magnua! Lunchtime!' He head tony sing-shout
'Daddyyy!' She shouted and within 10 seconds Tony was there. In front of us.
'Hi' I said feeling rather awkward
'Morgan go to mom. I'll be back in a minute' he said
'Are they the people Alice tells me story's about' she whispered
'Yeah. That's them' he whispered back smiling at us
She turned and ran back, probably to the kitchen maybe.
'So what brings you guys here?' He asked
'We've thought of something. Something that could bring everyone back' Steve said
'Well I came up with it' scott said under his breath
'Which is?'
Blah blah blah I won't bore you with the details.
'So Tony. Do you think anything like this is possible?' Steve said
'I don't know. It messes with the plank scale which then triggers a whole load of things, can we agree on that?'
No one answered
He turned and looked at scott 'it means your not coming home '
'I did. I came back'
'No, you accidentally survived. That's a billion to one cosmic flook... and now you wanna pull a... what do you call it?' He said then turning to look at scott again
'Uh... a- time heist' he said looking proud of himself
'Yeah. A time heist. Ofcourse. Why didn't we think of this before? Oh. Cause it laughable?'
'The stones are in the past, we can go back and we can get them' Steve said
'We can snap our own fingers, we can bring everybody back' I added
'It's a second chance Tony' Steve said basically pleading with him
Suddenly the little girl from before came running out and Tony lifted her up
'Mommy told me to come and save you' she said
'Good job. I'm saved' he said holding her closer
'Sorry cap but I got my second chance right here. I'm not going to- Morgan go back inside a minute okay?'
He put her down and she walked back in
'I'm not going to let what happened to Alice happen to her too. I got it lucky, I know that. And I can't risk losing it all. I've got pep, Alice, Morgan and Alissas basically family now.'
'So your just not going to even-'
'That's right scott. I won't even' Tony said. '... listen guys I wish I could. Really I do it's just too big of a sacrifice if it goes wrong. The tables set for 6 feel free to join' he said then walking inside.
We just left.
'What are we going to do now...' Scott said
'We're gonna need a bigger brain'
'Bigger then his?'
I'll skip all the boring details but we went and see Bruce who is now in the hulks body. I know, yikes. He's helping us. Things went... bad when we first tried it. Scott came back as a baby among other stages of life. But we got him back eventually so it's fine.
Alice
Hey, did my dad turn down helping you bring everyone back? Xx
Yeah he did. How did you find out xx
Steve texted and told me but I was just making sure with u before I ring him and 'talk' some sense into him xx
Don't be too harsh chicken xx
Hmmm depends on how I'm feeling xx
So yeah long story short Tony showed up the next day, apologised, made his priorities clear 'get the stones and bring everyone back yes but keep what I have, have to at all cost' which is a fair enough request.
But now comes the hard part.
Getting everyone back together.
A/N
I'm backkkk. Don't hate me, I'm sorry. I was gone for 13 days buttt I had my reasonings. It was my last two weeks of school before summer and I had so much work to get handed it.
But I'm back now so it's fineee.
This chapter is kinda shitty, soz. But it's like a filler chapter for the next one.
Thanks for reading <3
