This is it, our final post-credit seen. You are all absolutely fabulous. I want to once again thank everybody who has been with me through these first two stories in our Tony and Steve make better choices timeline. Our fun is just beginning.


I bet you're regretting that supersized soda right now.

Late afternoon March 24, 2018

MJ: I got a very cryptic text message from my cousin about going to Norway with Asgardians for reasons she won't tell me. Then she Messaged 15 minutes later saying that she loved me. Since I haven't heard anything else for the last five hours, I'm concerned. Is there anything you want to tell me?

Girl Friday: That explains why you were so freaked out in our last class. I knew she was in New York following up on the hashtag Thor sightings reported all over twitter today, but I don't know anything beyond that. Do you want me to call my dad? Although I don't know what he can tell you at this point.

MJ: Liar. I know she was on a stakeout. In the future, just say, "I know, but it's too classified to tell you." Even though I think I have the same security clearance you do, thanks to my summer internship.

Girl Friday: I really don't know that much. Although it wasn't Twitter, it was one of Robin's drawings that you're not supposed to know about but do anyway. My dad might have an update on her or Leo.

MJ: My summer internship was very productive.

Girl Friday: But not productive enough that you and Peter managed to get together. Also, maybe you should have tried Coulson first. I know he likes you.

MJ: I did try Coulson first but didn't get an answer. As for the Peter situation, he is still lamenting the fact that Flash is dating his British West Coast look alike. I'm just going to let that work itself out.

Girl Friday: Not anymore.

Girl Friday: Also, nice to know I am your second choice.

MJ: What?

Girl Friday: The Peter clone is obviously the evil one, not that he's actually a clone. We ran a test. Although they are distantly related.

MJ: What happened?

Girl Friday: This afternoon, Flash ran across images of his now ex making out with some other girl on Instagram. After I dropped off Miles to spend quality time with May P, we started binging on ice cream. Which we're doing because I'm trying to make sure Flash gets his twelve-month chip.

MJ: Aren't you glad your cousin gave you the ability to eat food? You're also a really great friend.

Girl Friday: Very. Hey, I have to go. My Avenger line is ringing. Maybe it's an update on your cousin.

MJ: Maybe. If you hear anything, let me know.

Girl Friday: I will.

Avengers/Shield emergency communication line of Purple Princess

TMNS: Hey, I'm coming to get you. Avenger emergency, and they are calling us in. Are you at the Queen's house or with Flash? I'm leaning towards the latter since he hasn't posted anything on Instagram for the last two hours and that usually happens when you're together. Is Miles with you?

Purple Princess: I'm at Flash's apartment, and Miles is with your aunt. You know I'm going to be spending a lot of time over here for the next couple weeks due to Steve coming home from Mumbai. I love my stepdad, but I don't want to hear them having sex ever. You know how loud they are.

Purple Princess: Is this about Daisy? MJ just text me. Five hours ago, Daisy texted her to let her know that she was going to Norway with Asgardians and then followed up with I love you. In the language of superheroes, that means a possible suicide mission. Obviously, MJ is concerned that she hasn't heard anything since.

TMNS: I would make a comment about you, wishing you could go back to the days where it didn't embarrass you to hear your parents having sex, but it's not the time.

TMNS: Sorry, nothing about Daisy. Ana just told me that five minutes ago, an individual matching the description of Hawkeye, except with more tattoos, just teleported into the upstate compound and won't stop crying.

Purple Princess: You know it says a lot of things about our life where the teleporting thing doesn't bother me, but the Clint thing does.

TMNS: We all know the Bartons are on a break with Hawkeye sleeping in your dad's guest room on the West Coast with Nat Junior accompanying him. Ana confirmed to Karen that he is still there, giving Nate a bubble bath at the moment.

Girl Friday: Fuck! Ana, do you know anything else about our visitor? Also, can I have a Daisy update if you have it?

As soon as she typed the words, Afia collapses to the floor as a sea of data overcomes her consciousness.


"Peter, Ana has just informed me that the visitor and Laura Barton have disappeared from the Avenger's compound." Peter hears his AI whisper in his ear.

"Shit," Peter exclaimed as he kept making his way to Afia's current location.

"Arrange for a ride. Have the jet pick us up as close to Flash's apartment as they can get. Tell her I'll be there in two minutes."

"I am already rerouting the Quinjet to the roof of Flash's apartment. ETA six minutes. Unfortunately, I cannot inform Afia of this because she is off-line." Karen explains

"What do you mean Afia has gone off-line? How did she go off-line? What does that mean?" Peter asked Karen, who he knew was interfacing with Ana.

"Her system was overwhelmed with data, similar to a denial of service attack." His AI explained.

Peter doesn't actually listen to Karen as she speaks. He's too worried about Afia. And maybe if Peter weren't so concerned, he would have taken two minutes to deactivate the nano suit before coming into Flash's apartment. But he could already see the unconscious Afia lying on the floor with Flash above her trying to find a pulse. One that Flash won't fine because she never had one in the first place. In his ear, he hears Karen telling him how to reboot Afia. Her left ear contains the manual restart disguised as an earring.

"Your Spider-man? I kissed you last year? That's when he realizes that he's standing in Flash's apartment mask off. Karen must have dissolved the mask while he was reviving Afia.

"Not the time Flash."

"You rejected me twice on the same day, and she didn't tell me." Flash sounded hurt.

"Because I asked her not to." Just like she didn't tell me that you started dating my look-alike last summer. He found out about it when he came across a picture of it on Afia's cell phone by accident. "This is not the time to freak out about this."

"It is a perfect time. I can't believe I kissed you after you rejected me for MJ, who you still haven't made a move on. If I'm going to be friend-zoned, at least make a move on MJ."

"I'm not Friend zoning you, it's…" Peter started to say, just as Afia opened her eyes.

"Great, dad won the bet. He is going to be insufferable." His friend said groggily.

"What bet? Are you okay?" Flash asked

"When Peter would accidentally tell you that he Spider-Man. We started a betting pool last year at the Fitzsimmons wedding before the terrorists arrived. I'm surprised it took this long. Oh God, I feel like I'm going to throw up. Peter, why are you here?" Afia asked, trying to sit up.

"You don't remember our text conversation 10 minutes ago? The situation has been upgraded to Laura being kidnapped by the tattooed spouse look alike." Peter explained.

"We have to get to the compound. Also, Karen just informed me that you're going to have to get any updates on Daisy from your dad. Apparently, it's above your clearance level."

"That's never a good sign. I'm so glad I told dad I didn't want to go to the Fitzsimmons anniversary party. The last thing I remember was I was dropping off Miles with your aunt and grabbing ice cream so that we could mourn the ex-boyfriend. The asshole actually ended things by posting a picture of his new girlfriend on Instagram. Then the jerk dared to tell Flash that they were never really together. He actually said it was a phase. I'm planning to make sure he never gets another internship anywhere again tonight."

"That was two hours ago, and you already enacted your revenge. Also, I didn't want Parker to know that I got dumped via Instagram." Flash told both of them. This is not the time to examine why he wants to go to California to punch out Flash's now ex-boyfriend. They need to focus on why Afia doesn't remember the last two hours.

"You received a large amount of data from designate Friday from the year 2023. Since Afia is no longer an AI, this caused her system to shut down." Karen explained. "Ana redirected the information to the compound servers, and your body is rebooting with your most recent backup memories. You will be missing two hours of memories, but Ana is attempting to recover."

"What is going on?" Flash asked, confused even though he was still holding onto her.

"So, you remember all those times I joked about being a robot? I wasn't joking. You just took it that way. Also, your first two male crushes were on the same person. Surprise. And at least it's a better surprise than what you saw on Instagram."

Afia told him just as Flash collapsed in front of him. He only caught him in time because his 'Peter Tingle' told him to. This was going to be a long day.


Aifa Stark-Rogers and Peter Parker will return in Infinite Text Messaging to The Endgame.

Coming January 2020

Be on the lookout for a trailer chapter on either this and or the other story before the end of the year. In the meantime, I chose to mark this story as done.
