"Okay, here we go. Time travel test number one." Elena pressed her lips together, "Oh god."

"Scott...fire up, the uh van thing." He instructed.

"Breakers are set," Steve walked over, "Emergency generators are on standby."

"Good, because if we blow off the grid, I don't want to lose, uh tiny over here in the 1950s." Elena stood beside Natasha nervously watching them set this whole thing up.

"Excuse me?" Scott asked, "He's kidding." Natasha shook her head, "Is he though?" Elena questioned.

"You can't say things like that." Natasha looked at both Elena and Banner, "It was a bad joke." Banner stammered.

Scott nodded turning to face the van, "You were kidding right?" Natasha asked, worriedly.

"I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here." Banner spoke, voice hushed.

"He's right Nat, this has a high probability of ending badly." Elena whispered.

"We're good." Banner gave Scott a thumbs up, "Get your helmet on. Scott I'm going to send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour and then bring you back in ten seconds. Make sense?"

Scott stared at him blankly, "Perfectly not confusing."

"Good luck, Scott." Steve stated, "You got this."

"You're right. I do, Captain America." Scott spoke, he got sucked back into the van seconds later. Elena stared at where he was previously standing, "This shit is wild."

"On a count of three," Banner started, "Three, two, one." Banner pressed some buttons, and he was back, but not quite the right age.

"Uh guys," Scott spoke, "This doesn't feel right."

"What's going on?" Steve asked, "Who is that?" Natasha followed.

"Hold on," Banner leaned down, "Is that Scott?" Elena asked, "Yes, it's Scott." He said moments before disappearing again.

"What's going on, Bruce?" Natasha asked, "Oh my back!" Scott exclaimed reappearing way too old.

"Well this can't be good." Elena stated, pulling Yelena's vest tighter against her torso.

"Wait a second, could I get a little space here?" Bruce questioned, and Elena took a couple of steps away.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you bring him back?" Steve asked moving.

"I'm working on it." He pressed a bunch of buttons.

"It's a baby." Steve quipped, "It's Scott." Bruce countered, "Yeah, as a damn baby." Elena added.

"Not helping, Ellie." Natasha said quietly.

"He'll grow." Banner stated, "Bring Scott back." Steve instructed, "He's trying!" Elena exclaimed, "You're trying right?"

"When I say kill the power. Kill the power." Bruce instructed.

"Oh my god." Natasha said, minorly freaking out.

"And kill it!" Banner exclaimed, and Natasha pulled the lever.
