I don't own Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, KHR, HP, Sherlock, or any Marvel Characters!
Quick Note: Sorry for the long-overdue chapter, there were many things that came up, including a holiday weekend with the in-laws that turned into a royal headache. Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but sometimes... Anyway, on with the writing.
A Little Disruption
A duct taped Scott Lang, and a few hours later... a van pulled up to the Stark cabin.
Tony looked less than pleased to see them, but he wasn't as arrogant and finger-pointing blame as the last time, "Good to see you Natasha, boys... Rogers."
"Tony."
"Hi Mr. Stark! It's an honor to meet you again! See last time I was fighting you and I got really really big and then really really small! And yeah! Hi!" Scott had somehow gotten free of the duct tape and was shaking Tony's hand like crazy.
"Wait, you were Gigantor? Huh, thought you'd be taller," Stark snarked in surprise. "You can let go of my hand now."
"Oh! Sorry! Pleased to meet me again!" Scott rambled excitedly.
"Definitely the comic relief," Harry mumbled to Tsuna, who could only sigh in agreement.
"So, would you like a turkey sandwich? I believe Pepper's making some right now for lunch," Tony began.
"Actually, Tony, we're here about a chance to bring everyone back," Steve stated tiredly, knowing that this wasn't going to get them anywhere.
"It's not possible. We lost, Steve, or did you forget that little detail? WE LOST!" Tony glared at Steve. "You said we'd fight together and you were no where around! Thanos beat us, and that's that."
"Um, actually, there may be a way. I don't know if it's possible, but I was counted among the Missing until a few days ago," Scott interjected before anything got too heated. "Do you know anything about Quantum stuff?"
"What?" Tony blinked as he tried to comprehend what the one-time-Giant was trying to get across. "And of course I know about Quantum Physics! I'm Tony freakin' Stark. What does that have to do with the Dim Sum in China?"
"I'm getting to that. So, you see I was working with the Pym family; Hank, Janet van Dyne, and my girlfriend, Hope Van Dyne. We were seeing if there was a possible way that we could use some of the particles in the Quantum Realm to help people, like to stop cancer or something," Scott rambled.
"Get to the point, Gigantor," Tony glowered at him.
"I'm getting there. So, when everyone vanished, I was trapped in the Quantum Realm when they disappeared, and while it was three and a half years for you guys, it was three and a half hours inside the Quantum Realm. Isn't it possible that we could use the Quantum Realm to sling-shot back in time and stop everyone from vanishing?"
"Hate to burst your bubble, Sparky, but that's not how Quantum Physics works. You can't just jump through time-" Tony pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, "You aren't seriously suggesting that I build you all a time machine?"
"Um, pretty much," Scott shrugged.
"And how much of this idiotic theory of yours is from Back to the Future?" Tony snarked. "The answer is no. It can't be done!"
"Tony, we have to try something. Some people have adjusted, but most people can't move on," Steve sighed sadly. "If we've got a chance in hell, we've got to try it."
"The answer is no. It's not possible and not happening," Tony glared at Steve.
"Nana said it was possible," Harry mumbled loudly enough for Stark to hear him.
"Kid, I don't know who your nana was, but she was clearly smoking something-"
"Nana is my mother's name, Stark. Though I believe you should remember your introduction to her. After all, she hired May Parker to work at the Hibari as Manager. I believe she introduced herself as Nana Yamamoto-Black," Tsuna's eyes flashed gold, making Tony recognize something.
"DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!"
"Hey Pumpkin, what's up?" Tony picked up the cute three year old girl.
"Mommy told me to come save you!" the little girl hugged him tightly.
"Well, you did. You saved me, Morgan," Tony eyed both boys warily, before turning back to Steve, Scott, and Natasha. "It's been great seeing you all again. Stay for lunch if you want, but it's not possible."
"Tony, please?" Natasha begged him.
"Sorry Nat, but I have my family right here and they need me more than a hair-brained scheme," Tony walked back into the house.
Harry rolled his eyes, "He's given up. He doesn't care about Peter and Hermione or Mama and Bucky and all the other people we've lost. There has to be someone else, anyone else besides this guy?"
"There's one guy, he's got a bigger brain than Tony, but it's not exactly in his wheel-house," Steve sighed.
"Who?" Tsuna asked curiously.
"Bruce Banner," Steve stated.
A few hours later, they were all in a cafe talking to a giant green man with glasses and a Hawaiian shirt, "Hey guys! How is everyone doing? Natasha."
"Bruce?" Natasha blinked in surprise at him.
"Are you okay?" Steve asked worriedly.
"Nothing bad, I'm actually more in-tune now. So, after Thanos, me and the Hulk decided to work together and we merged. This is what happened. It's the best of both worlds, my brains, his brawn. We're invincible," Bruce smiled happily. "So, what brings you all out to my part of the world?"
"So, we had a theory... What do you know about Quantum Physics?" Steve asked Bruce.
"Not too much, I know more about Gamma radiation and particles, but I suppose I could brush up on it. What's the theory?" Bruce asked curiously.
"Well..." And that was when Scott began his spiel again, the exact same story he told Tony. "So, do you think it's possible?"
"Anything is possible, but I don't think I'm the best person to do this. Isn't there someone else?" Bruce inquired.
"Bruce, you're all we've got," Steve winced.
"Well, count me in, for all the good it will do," Bruce shrugged and then posed for a photo with some kids.
Scott was a bit put-out that no one recognized him as Ant-Man, but Harry nudged him, "Hey, can Tsuna and I get a picture with you, later on, in your suit? When Nana comes back, I'd like to show it to her."
"Really? She'd want to see that?" Scott smiled happily.
"Yeah, she'll want to see if you want to join the Powered People Underground," Tsuna grinned. "Never know, you could be key in extraction missions."
"Extraction? What type of extraction?" Scott asked worriedly.
"People," Harry explained simply. "Did you know that Trask Industries and Wilson Fisk have got a thing against any people with powers or machines that enhance them? There's even a group called the Friends of Humanity and they are against it too."
"So, you're saying that these three groups kidnap people and your Nana-lady saves them or mounts a rescue mission?" Scott blinked in surprise.
"Exactly," Tsuna chuckled. "What do you say? Want to meet with Nana and see if it's a good fit?"
"That... Wow. Is this a job offer?" Scott couldn't seem to get his mind around it.
"Think of it as a potential job offer. After all, we need someone to sneak in and steal people's freedom back," Tsuna smiled knowing that they'd caught Scott's attention."
"I'd have to talk to Hank and Hope when they get back, but I think it might be a great fit!" Scott grinned, "Just one thing, does that mean I have to move to New York?"
"Not at all, we could always open a Hibari Hotel in California," Tsuna smirked at Scott's flummoxed expression.
"Hotel?!"
