Tim sighed as he made his way through the air vents. Has he mentioned he hates using the air vents? Unfortunately the air vents were the only way into this compound since Tim didn't really want to alert them to his presence while hacking their system. Let's say he almost triggered a failsafe while trying to gain access to some files... but on the bright side, at least he got them!
Hearing slight mumbling, Tim slowed down and finally saw the same blonde from before with a woman having a mix of blonde and red hair and lastly the guy from the van all assembled in the same room. The blonde and the female were looking at the van guy as he paced around mumbling to himself about something Tim could not quite make
"Scott. Are you okay?" blonde said as the now identified Scott stopped his pacing
"Yeah. I'm fine" Scott said as he struggles to ask something. Finally it seems he had enough and just said it "Have you ever studied Quantum Physics?"
Tim wondered where this was going. Quantum physics is basically the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. He wasn't quite sure what Scott had in mind with that
"Only to make conversation" the female said
"Alright. So... five years ago, right before Thanos, I was in a place called the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be incredibly small"
'Thanos? Wonder who that could be. On another note he's like Ray Palmer in the sense that he can shrink in size. Maybe Ray would have liked this Quantum Realm or even this Scott guy'
"Hope, she's my... um... she what... she was my... she... she was supposed to pull me out and then Thanos happened and I got stuck in there" Scott said, struggling during the middle about what Hope was to him. Tim knew enough to realize whoever this Hope was, clearly meant a lot to Scott
"I'm sorry. That must've been a very long five years" the female said in sympathy
"Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was five hours"
Tim looked to be in deep thought 'I guess it makes sense. He did say the Quantum Realm was it's own separate universe. What's stopping it from having different rules of time involved. Quantum physics isn't something we can predict'
"See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is that anybody's sandwich? I'm starving" Scott said as he moves towards the sandwich and bits a piece off without waiting for an answer from either adult
'Thank you for proving my time Scott' Tim said moving forward slightly to get a better view
"Scott, what are you talking about?" blonde asked as Scott continued his explanation
"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 did? I can't stop thinking about it. What if, we could somehow control the chaos, and we could navigate it? What if there was a way to enter the Quantum Realm at a certain point in time but then exit at another point in time? Like... Like before Thanos"
"Wait, are you talking about a time machine?" blonde asked
"No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. It's more like a... Yeah, a time machine" Scott finally admits "I know it's crazy. But I can't stop thinking about it. There's gotta be some way... There's gotta be...some w... it's crazy"
'They can't seriously be thinking about messing up time right? Anytime someone messes with anything, even something small, it changes the timeline. For better or worst, remains to be seen. Just look at Flash, he created Flashpoint after deciding to run back and save his mother' Tim thought and yes he read the files Bruce had on Flashpoint. However he suddenly heard the vent starting to bend due to his weight 'This is not good. Not good at all'
Without warning, the vent just caved in and broke as suddenly Tim found himself free falling, unable to even grab onto the ledge and landing on what looked to be a person
"Next time I use the front door" Tim mumbled checking himself over as he picked himself off the person he landed on, checked to see if he'd broken anything and turned when he felt stares on him as he noticed both the blonde and female in battle ready stances should he turn out to be a threat to them
"Ok ow and what the heck were you doing up there?" Scott asked as Tim turned back towards the guy and saw him pick himself off the ground
Tim hadn't really planned on interacting with them, but the universe loves to mess with him. Now how was he suppose to explain this?
Author's Note: I watched Endgame the other day and made me want to take up this story again! Tim meets Scott, Steve and Natasha! Not the way he wanted to thought, since he didn't plan on that happening. Even though the story is gonna be on hiatus, I'll try and still update it :)
