The story starts by showing the new Avengers Facility, it shows Tony working on a desk with his Friday A.I system, he is working on a brand new armor with a silver/chrome coloring below the chest, he asks F.R.I.D.A.Y to build it before sitting down and overlooks a clear sunny day over the lake, he begins to relax, before he is interrupted by a ringing on his wrist, he looks down to his wrist to see his watch blinking, he reluctantly passes his hand over the screen and it displays a hologram of Steve, "Tony, if you aren't busy we need you in the briefing room" asks Steve, "Of all the times you need to talk to me, you choose the exact time I took a break" replies Tony, a little cross about his break being interrupted, "It's important" Steve highlights his point. "Fine, I'll be there, this better not be Ross again, where's Thor when we need him," Tony says nonchalantly. "It's Fury, something about an emergency" Steve reassures him
Scene changes to all the Avengers in a meeting room, Sam, Rhodes who can move normally, Steve, Tony, Wanda, Vision, are all seated around a table, they are facing Fury, he has a hat and is carrying something in his hands, "The Avengers were created to protect the world, you stopped Loki's invasion, you stopped Ultron from committing a planet-wide genocide and you managed to not tear yourself apart when the accords threatened to limit your freedom" states Fury. "If we didn't have Thor's help, we may have done so" replies Steve "And I'm glad, if the Avengers were split, I would have had to call Carol," Fury says, "Who's Carol?" asks Tony. Fury turns around to see all the Avengers looking at him "Carol is the reason the Avengers exist, I met her 19 years ago, she tore an armada of alien ships in half by flying through it" Fury casually replies "So if you had someone like that why did you form this team?" asks Sam "Because the universe is a big place, she can't be everywhere at once" Fury fires back "So are we going to meet this Carol then?" asks Rhodey "In time, if you all fail to protect the world then she may just turn up at the doorstep, or if I'm just bored" Fury states "So why call this meeting then?" asks Wanda, "The world is far from normal, part of Congress still wants you to sign the accords and the world knows that that the Avengers was nearly toast, keep your head down for a year or two and act in small teams, the world needs you and keep protecting the world" Fury says, gravitating everyone to his speech, "So you just came down to give us a pep talk?" Tony asks questionably "Yes, and if you don't mind, I'm going to tend to my garden, the daffodils aren't going to grow out themselves!" replies Fury he then walks out
The Avengers then sitting on bean bags begin to talk, "So what do we do now?" asks Tony, "What Fury said, if there's any trouble in the world we act, we keep destruction to a minimum and keep saving the world" replies Steve "So what are we some heroes for hire then?" Sam asks "At least you won't worry about me blowing up a building" replies Wanda, Vision then looks at her "What you did, we know that you did not meant do, it's in the past, mistakes are what we learn from, Captian Rogers was not the super soldier on his first day, Mr. Stark couldn't even fly properly at the start, Wanda does not blame yourself, what matters now is you practice and learn" Vision says calmly, Wanda looks back with some tears, "Thank you" she replies "It's not the same without Nat" replies Steve. "Where is she?" asks Tony, "I have no idea, she could be anywhere in the world" replies Steve. "Wherever she is, she would be protecting people," says Sam "We have to get her back" Wanda states "We will Wanda, just not right now" Steve states "How are we going to find her?" asks Rhodes "We need someone who knows her incredibly well" says Tony "We can't ask Barton to come back, he retired permanently" says Tony "It's that or have one our friends, one of the team still out there in the world" replies Sam "We'll start on it tomorrow, everyone get some rest, the world may need us in any given moment" Steve commands "If we not on the same page of the accords you wouldn't be doing this you know" Tony states with a smirk on his face, Steve turns to him "Go and see Pepper Tony" he replies, "What are you, my calendar?" He heads off to see his girlfriend
Tl;DR: Civil War happens differently, Avengers never break up, Natasha is still on the run, Fury says Carol's the reason the Avengers were formed
As for timeline, Thanos if this timeline goes to 2023 dies, Endgame and Infinity War never happen in this reality, assume the Gamora of 2014 and Nebula of 2014 goes back to their appropriate points in time due to Tony using the gauntlet to restore the timeline in my story, Gamora and Nebula know what happened to Thanos
