(I was thinking about giving Bucky and (Y/n) a kid during the five years but it would be hard to put a kid in when I do "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.")
We all got in the spaceship that Tony was in before and flew off into space.
"Okay. Who here hasn't been to space?" Rocket asked everyone turning around.
Steve, Nat, Rhodey, and I always our hands, Carol, Thor, Nebula, Banner and Rocket obviously didn't.
"Why?" I asked.
"You better not throw up on my ship." Rocket said.
"Approaching jump in three..." Nebula announced. "Two, one."
I hold on tightly to my seat as we shot forward everything went by so fast. The colours of the stars flashed by. I couldn't tell what I was feeling more scared, nervous, or amazed.
In no time at all the ships stopped in front of the planet.
"I'll head down for recon." Carol told us over the speaker as she was now outside of the ship flying in space. She bolted down.
"You okay, Steve?" I asked is I just saw him looking down at the picture of Peggy he kept in the compass. He quickly closed it and put it away.
"Yeah." Steve looks at me. "This is gonna work."
"I know it will. I don't know what I'm gonna do if it doesn't." I tell him.
——
Carol came back , "No satellites. No ships. No armies. No ground defenses of any kind. It's just him."
"And that's enough." Nebula said.
We lowered to the ground, Carol went in first, then banner in the hulk armour then Rhodey then Thor. Steve and Nat and I walked up into the little cottage. Steve leading Nat and I behind. We walked around to the front of Thanos. Carol was holding him by the neck, Rhodey holding one arm, and Banner holding the other. Thor standing behind after he cut off the arm with the gauntlet attached.
We walked over to rocket as he flipped the gauntlet over, it was all melted and burnt to his who is skin but there was no Stones, they were gone.
"Oh, no." Rocket look up.
"Where are they?" Steve asked Thanos.
"Answer the question." Carol told Thanos as he granted.
"The universe required correction. After that, the Stones served no purpose... beyond temptation." Thanos said.
"You murdered trillions!" Banner shouted, throwing Thanos back.
"You should be grateful." Thanos told us.
"You killed my Husband!" I yell and Banner punch Thanos in the face.
"Where are the Stones?" Nat asked calmly.
"Gone." Thanos said. "Reduced to atoms."
"You used them two days ago!" Banner shouted.
"I used to the Stones to destroy the Stones." Thanos explained. "It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable."
"We have to tear this place apart. He hast to be lying." Rhodey stuttered.
"My Father is many things. A liar is not one of them." Nebula walked up.
"Ah. Thank you, Daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly." Just as Thanos said that, Thor swung his Ax in the air, and brought it down cutting Thanos's head clean off.
"What did you do?" Rocket asked.
"I went for the head." Thor said, and slowly walked out.
The Sones are gone, without the Stones we can't bring everyone back, I can't bring Bucky back.
——————FIVE YEARS LATER————
I had this anger inside of me, great hatred boiling, eating me. Bucky is gone, again. I felt broken and cheated. I knew Clint went dark after losing his whole family. I just lost Bucky, my Husband, I still have Steve, but I needed Bucky. I went dark as well, I killed people that I knew were hydra, killed people that are bad that have done bad and still are. I didn't talk to anyone for the first four years. Everything's that I did before avengers take it with me again, I was the monster, I am the monster.
Even before all this it always felt like Bucky and I hardly had any time together, we got married two years before the US joined the war, then I thought he was dead for 70 years only to find out he was at the exact same place I was, then he got his mind fixed and now he's gone again.
I was walking through some familiar streets when I stopped in front of a house, my house, Bucky's and my house in the 40's.
I walked the empty hall's dust coated everything. No one had lived here for a long time. I walked up the stairs brushing the dust off the railing. I pushed the door open to what was mine and Bucky's bedroom. In the centre of the room I sat down prying some boards up. I reached in and pulled out a box.
The first photo was of me, Steve and Bucky not really doing anything just smiling and laughing. The next was of Bucky and me in our uniforms for the war. I pulled one more photo out and his dog tags before closing the box and putting it back.
That is when I decided I shouldn't be alone anymore. I slowly started talking to Steve and then Nat.
Just about a week ago, I went back to the compound. It was nice seeing Steve face-to-face, and Nat.
————
"(Y/n)." I head Steve call.
I come down and stand shocked when I see Scott. I walk over to Steve as Scott walks back and forth.
"Scott? Are you okay?" Steve asked him as he walked in circles.
"Have either of you guys ever studied quantum physics?" Scott asked.
"Only to make conversation." Nat said.
"All right, so. Five years ago, right before... Thanos... I was in a place called the Quantum Realm." Scott explained. "The Quantum Realm is like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be incredibly small. Hope. She's my, um... She was my... She was supposed to pull me out. And then Thanos happened... and I got stuck in there."
"I'm sorry, that must have been a very long five years." Nat apologized.
"Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was five hours. See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is there anybody's sandwich?" I just got randomly asked and walked over to it. "I'm starving."
"Scott. What are you talking about?" Steve wondered.
"So." Scott mumbled with the food still in his mouth, he chewed a bit before we spoke again. " What I'm saying is... time works differently in the Quantum Realm. The only problem is right now we don't have a way to navigate it. But what if we do? I can't stop thinking about it. What if we could some how controlled the chaos... And we could navigate it? What if there was a way... that we could enter the Quantum Realm at a certain point in time... but then exit the Quantum Realm, at another point in time? Like... like before Thanos."
"Wait." Steve said.
"So like a time machine?" I say before Steve could.
"No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. This is more like a..." Scott thought for a moment. " Yeah. Like a time machine. I know, it's crazy. It's crazy. But I-I can't stop thinking about it. There's got to be... somewhere. It's crazy."
"Scott. I get emails from a raccoon... so nothing sounds crazy anymore." Nat told him.
"So, who do we talk to about this?" Scott asked.
