I am super excited about this story idea, the chapter is super short but just a start for the story I have in mind!

All the team wanted to talk about when Stark arrived was the fact he'd perfected time travel. The realization that they could fix what had already been done, and the logistics of getting everyone back. But before long Tony was quickly tired of talking about his latest discovery, he shook away his teammates and their relentless questions and found himself in the old lab he'd had built for the complex what felt like an eternity ago. Natasha had quickly gone back to her office to start calling the team back together; Or at least, what members of the team they were still in contact with. Banner was gathering some supplies Stark had requested, Scott was still recovering from his failed attempt at time traveling.
Now it was just Tony and Steve alone together in the lab. They were trying not to think about the other times they'd spent with just the two of them, times that almost always would end up with fitting and arguments.
Never at ease with uncomfortable silences, Tony started to fill the room with a relentless stream of questions. "How long will it take to get the rest of whatever team we have left here? Is my favorite smurf still around? I could use her help building this thing. What about the flying, glowing chick? Oh, ok, if she's two galaxies away I guess that's a pretty good excuse for her not to have to come help out with this... Also, can someone refresh my memory? I haven't been here in a hot minute, just because I paid for, designed and built this place doesn't mean I remember where everything is. Do we have two bedrooms adjacent to one another? Preferably with easy access to the backyard? Little miss likes being outside, don't want her to feel like she's trapped in here, away from the trees and the sky and all that stuff she likes. Plus Pepper has become quite the fan of the outdoors. Always pegged her for a city girl, but now she gets a bit green around the gills if she's away from nature for too long."
Steve furrowed his brows together, trying to understand what he was hearing. "What? Yeah, I mean, we have a couple rooms that are connected... I think the one across from the gym is pretty close to the backyard. But, um, you're bringing Pepper and Morgan here? Are you sure that's the best idea Tony?" At this question Stark ceased throwing his blueprints up on a white board, and turned to face the Captain. "Rogers, I don't know how long I'm going to be here. Or what's going to happen after this, "thing" gets built. I'm going to spend as much time with my family as I can before whatever happens because of this device, happens. And if that's not an option, then this entire deal is off the table."
Tony had a defensive look on his face, he was clearly ready to fight. But Steve couldn't find a flaw to argue in the logic that Stark wanted to spend as much time as he could with the ones he loved before embarking on a dangerous mission they might not be coming back from.
"I can't argue with that Tony. Can't say I wouldn't do the same if I wasn't in your shoes; But honestly are you ready to have your daughter around us? To expose this part of your past to her? We've hardly heard from you since everything happened. We figured you didn't want us to have anything to do with your family."
Tony had paused what he was doing to listen to Steve, now in this moment he almost looked embarrassed. He was scratching at the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact with the Captain. "Yeah... Look, I've made some mistakes. Who hasn't? You can understand that. Maybe I should have buried the hatchet sooner. Tried to be the bigger man. But things went downhill so quickly after the snap. I know we didn't part on the best of terms, it's not exactly easy to go from constantly being at each other's throats to inviting you to my kids birthday party. But what's done is done, not like I can go back and change the choices me and Pepper made..." Stark glanced over towards the blueprints he'd been putting up, he smirked a bit. "Well, at least I can't until this thing gets built."
Tony shook his head slightly, pulling himself out whatever thoughts he was having about the choices he'd made regarding himself and his family after the snap. "But again, can't do anything about it now. So I figure it's about time Morgan spends some quality time with Uncle Stevie, Aunt Romanoff and whoever else is still around from this dysfunctional little family."

Okay, this chapter was short and is sort of a toe in the water to see if there is any interest in this story? Ideally I want to write a chapter where Morgan interacts with each unsnapped member of the Avengers at least once. So like a Hawkeye chapter, Thor chapter, Nebula chapter, you get the you want to read this or have any interactions you want to read about Morgan having with the Avengers please let me know!
