Y/n's POV

"Well we might have found a way to time travel." Steve said plainly. Tony rolled his eyes, he was already doubting us.

"No wait. See the quantum realm has messed up times so if we work out how to control all the chaos we can use it to enter in one time period and exit it in another. But we need something to control it if that's even possible and you're the man who has all the plans and the tech and the brains. It's all to do with quantum Physics. I went into the Quantum realm, accidentally got stuck but then somehow got brought back. What was five years for everyone else was just five hours for me. If we get this right we can do a... a time heist." Scott told the unimpressed man hurriedly.

Tony looked at him with blank eyes and then began to pour a glass of orange juice. "Sounds like you've all gone a little loopy whilst I've been gone. Time travel is impossible." Tony huffed.

"No. We know what it sounds like." Scott replied quickly.

"Tony, after everything you've seen, is anything really impossible?" Steve asked.

"Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck scale, which then triggers the Deutsch Proposition. Can we agree on that?" Tony asked, looking from face to face. There was no response from anyone but Harriet and I shook our heads. He handed a glass to Steve who thanked him.

"In layman's terms, it means you're not coming home." Tony said seriously. Would it really be that drastic?

"I did." Scott told him.

"No. You accidentally survived. It's a billion-to-one cosmic fluke." Tony stuttered, messing over his words as he tried to get his point across. "And now you wanna pull a... what do you call it?" Tony handed a glass to Scott and Nat, his expression still baffled.

"A time heist." Scott said a little too proudly, making me sigh. He really wasn't selling this plan.

"Yeah. A time heist. Of course. Why didn't we think of this before? Oh because it's laughable? Because it's a pipe dream?" He looked at us all, a frown on his face.

"The stones are in the past. We could go back, we could get them." Steve spoke calmly.

"We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back." Nat said firmly.

"Or screw it up worse than he already has, right?" Tony said in slight disbelief.

"I don't believe we would." Steve replied, there once again was the hopeful figure of America.

"Gotta say it, I sometimes 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 sat down, looking up at us. "I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise." He admitted. That didn't sound too great I had to admit.

"Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. All right? It means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting events-" Scott took a seat beside Tony as he went on.

"I'm going to stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on Back to the future? Is it?" Tony rested his elbow on the table to get closer to Scott.

"No." Scott shook his head.

"Good. You had me worried there. Cause that would be horseshit. That's not how quantum physics works." Tony explained. Nat was looking disappointed at his pessimistic or realistic words depending on how you looked at it. I gave her a little nudge and Harriet patted her on the head.

"Tony." She muttered. "We have to take a stand." She looked at him hopefully.

"We did stand. And yet, here we are." Tony sighed. Nat looked around at the tranquil lake and I smiled. I continued to sway and bounce and hum quietly to keep Haz quiet.
