- What's up, guys? It's been a rough few months and I hope you're all safe and healthy. It does suck sometimes to be stuck in the house all day but I'd say it's a lot better than risking the chance of getting sick right now. Don't worry, I'm still writing. Not as much as I'd like though since I still have to work from home.

- Anyways, this chapter picks up where the previous one left off and has a love scene right at the start. I'd like to think my abilities in writing sex scenes are getting better but it's a very slow work in progress. If it's terrible, I apologize.

Enjoy.

Gasping for air, Darcy quivered uncontrollably as her orgasm rocked her whole body. Her inner fluids squirted all over Peter's face and he did his best to lick away most of the mess. The two of them hadn't wasted any time in getting busy once they were in his room. They practically tore each other's clothes off before he gently pushed her down to the bed and began to pleasure her body.

Peter had already fingered her sex to the point of climax once earlier and now his tongue just made her cum again. Her boyfriend was well-versed in the art of pleasuring a woman...now it was her turn to make him feel good. Darcy grabbed hold of Peter's hard dick and began to rub away gently. He breathed out a low groan, the hand-job she was giving him felt wonderful.

Her lips curled into a horny grin. "I've missed having your big cock in me, Peter...don't hold back, okay?"

Darcy positioned herself on top before she pushed her pussy down onto Peter's dick. The brunette woman shuddered out of delight as she felt his dick press against her cervix. Once she got used to the feeling, Darcy slowly moved her hips up and down. Peter's hands shot up and grabbed hold of her modest sized breasts. His fingers pinched away at Darcy's firm nipples, eliciting a loud moan out of her.

"D-damn! Oh yes, fuck me harder!" Darcy cried out.

Peter happily obliged and drove his cock into her pussy with a bit more strength. His hands moved down to her hips and held on. She rode him vigorously, making her tits bounce up and down. The sound of their flesh slapping against each other echoed in the room. After a while, Darcy could feel her orgasm rapidly approaching and her vaginal muscles tightened around Peter's cock. The young Spider thrusted into her vagina a few more times before she suddenly came.

"Ahhh! P-Peter, I-I'm cumming!"

Darcy's eyes rolled to the back of her head as a powerful sense of pleasure and bliss surged through her whole body. Pulling out of her pussy, Peter held Darcy against his chest and waited for her to catch her breath.

"Holy hell, that felt amazing." She breathed out.

"Want to keep going?"

Darcy got down on her hands and knees. Shaking her firm ass seductively, she looked at Peter with a coy little smirk.

"There's no way I want us to stop now. Been a while since we've done anal...I want you to fuck the hell out of my ass."

He grinned. "As you wish, milady."

Peter spread her ass cheeks and slammed his dick deep into her tight asshole. Darcy bit her lower lip as she felt his cock stretch out her anus. He stayed still, giving her time to get used to the feeling. After a moment passed, the brunette woman nodded for him to go ahead and move. Peter bucked his hips forward at a slow gentle pace at first before he increased the strength and speed gradually.

"Hnngh! Oh, yes!" Darcy cried out, gritting her teeth. "Fuck me right there, baby!"

Peter grunted as he thrusted into Darcy's tight ass. His hands snaked around her body, with the left groping her breast while his right hand massaged her soaked pussy. Caressing the side of his face, Darcy turned her head around and crashed her lips into Peter's for a deep hot kiss. Their sweaty bodies rocked with each other for a long time until Peter finally came, shooting out his sperm into the depths of her ass. Darcy's ass muscles clamped around his dick as she hit her orgasm seconds later. Having lost all feeling in her limbs just now, her body lazily slumped down to the bed.

Peter slowly pulled his dick out of her ass. Some of his seed leaked out of her well-fucked asshole and dripped onto the bed.

"Oh man..." He murmured, laying down beside her. "Are you all right?"

Darcy smiled as she rested her head on Peter's chest. "I'm fine. My ass will be a little sore tomorrow though."

It was too hot to be covered with blankets for now so the young couple just cuddled with each other while laying naked on the bed. There was still a few hours before the evening began...plenty of time for them to relax for a little while.

"Peter?"

"Hmm?"

She climbed on top of his body and looked at him with curious eyes. "Do you really think this time travel plan will work?"

"...I don't know." He admitted. There was no point in lying about his personal thoughts regarding this. "Nothing like this has ever been done before."

"I told Jane about it earlier today and she says it sounds too dangerous to even attempt."

"She's probably right...but this might be the only chance we have to bring everyone back. At the very least, we have to try something."

Darcy nodded in understanding. "I get it...which is why Jane wanted me to let you know we're here to provide our assistance if you need it."

Peter kissed her with a smile. "Thank you."

"Of course. Just let us know if we can do something to help."

Darcy gave Peter another quick kiss before she laid her head back down on his chest. He placed his arm around Darcy's waist and held her close. It had been a while since they were alone together and the two of them wanted to enjoy this moment for as long as possible.

Fortunately, Dr. Banner was more than willing to provide his assistance so they could actually pull off this time heist. Because of his unfamiliarity with how quantum physics worked, the gamma specialist spent about a week studying that particular field of science by reading numerous research papers and books. During that time, Dr. Foster helped Peter find out more about the potential dangers of traveling through the quantum realm. Astrophysics and quantum physics were vastly different from each other but there were parts of Jane's research that proved to be useful in modifying the quantum tunnel they had.

As it turns out, Dr. Pym had built a smaller version of his lab's quantum tunnel in the back of Mr. Lang's van shortly before he was erased from existence. Scott completely forgot about it in his rush to get to the Avengers Compound and he informed them about the fact only a few days ago. Peter and some of the others were a bit annoyed that Mr. Lang didn't remember such an important fact sooner but at least now they didn't have to build one from scratch.

After making some modifications to the quantum tunnel in Scott's van, Bruce decided it was time to take it for a test run a few days later. Peter went over the calculations with the Hulked-out professor while Darcy helped Natasha check the power generators to make sure they were working properly. Steve set the breakers on standby in case the test failed and they needed to kill the power right away.

"Okay, here we go. Time travel test number one." Bruce said before he pointed at Lang, who was wearing a rather clunky looking suit. "Scott, fire up the, uh, the van thing."

Ant-Man opened the backdoors of his van and activated the quantum tunnel located in the trunk. The machine came to life, pulsing steady waves of blue and gold energy from the centre.

Cap came back into the room. "Breakers are set. Emergency generators are on standby."

"Good. Because if we blow the grid, I don't want to lose, uh, Tiny here in the 1950s."

Scott overheard what he said and gave Dr. Banner an incredulous look. "Excuse me?"

The Black Widow shook her head at his poorly timed jest. "He's kidding. You can't say things like that."

"S-sorry. It was a bad joke." Bruce stammered.

Lang nodded at this before he moved to stand in front of the quantum tunnel.

"...You were kidding, right?" She asked, sounding a bit more serious.

"I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here...either it's all a joke or none of it is."

Bruce turned his attention back to Scott and gave him a thumbs up with a fake smile. "We're good! Get your helmet on."

Behind him, Darcy literally face-palmed herself. "Oh, that was real smooth."

Peter just chuckled quietly. Dr. Banner's joke may have been made a little too soon but he could understand why the gamma physicist felt nervous. There were still a lot of risks that remained unknown...and unfortunately the only way to find out about them was to observe the test run carefully.

"Alright, Mr. Lang. We're going to send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour, and then bring you back in ten seconds." Jane explained, typing away on the control panel. "Does that make sense?"

"Perfectly not confusing."

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

Ant-Man flashed a goofy smile, looking as though he just listened to the greatest pep talk in the world. "You're right. I do, Captain America."

Lang quickly vanished into the tunnel. Jane monitored the time gauge, waiting until ten seconds passed before she nodded for Dr. Banner to bring him back.

"On a count of three..." Bruce said, flipping a couple of switches. "Three, two, one."

In an instant, Scott reappeared again in the back of the van...looking very different than he did earlier. Standing before them was what seemed to be an awkward teenage version of the man, looking a lot shorter than he had been just a moment ago.

"Uh...guys? This doesn't feel right." Lang said in a high pitched voice.

Captain America quickly grew confused by what he was seeing. "What is this?"

"Who is that?" Natasha asked. "Is that Scott?"

"Yes, it's Scott!" The kid replied.

Jane and Bruce double-checked the control panel to make sure they hadn't typed in the destination and time wrong. The gamma specialist ducked beneath the table and hit a button, sending Scott back into the quantum tunnel before he quickly reappeared again...as an old man.

The elderly Lang quickly reached for his spine in pain. "Oh, my back!"

"Hold on a second. Could I get a little space here?"

Steve quickly moved out of the way. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you bring him back?"

"We're working on it." Bruce said before Jane flipped another switch.

Ant-Man once again disappeared and came back...this time, as an infant.

"...It's a baby." Cap deadpanned.

"It's Scott."

"Yeah, as a baby!"

"He'll grow!" The Hulk retorted.

Jane slapped the gamma physicist on the arm. "Dr. Banner, that's not funny!"

"Bring Scott back."

Bruce pointed for Natasha to get to the generators. "When I say kill the power, kill the power!"

"Oh my god..." The Black Widow muttered as she ran towards the control box of the power generators.

Darcy turned to Peter with a lost expression on her face. "Now Mr. Lang's a baby? What's going on?"

By this point, Spidey had worked out why Ant-Man kept coming back at different ages. The hint of realization in Jane's eyes told him that she just figured it out too. Explanations would have to come later though...right now, they needed to bring back Scott properly.

"And...kill it!" Bruce said before he and Jane hit two different buttons simultaneously.

Natasha yanked the lever on the control box down, shutting off the power immediately. The infant vanished once more and quickly returned again as the middle aged Scott. The quantum tunnel soon turned off and the pulsing energy waves faded away.

Lang seemed to be a little spooked out. "Somebody peed my pants."

"Oh, thank god." Natasha said, relieved that they were able to bring Scott back properly this time.

"But I don't know if it was old me or baby me." He paused to sniff at the scent of urine coming from below his waist. "...Or just me me."

Bruce threw his arms up in victory. "Time travel!"

Steve just gave him an incredulous look before he sighed out of exasperation and left the room to get some air.

"What? I-I see this as an absolute win."

Jane rubbed her head out of annoyance at what just transpired. "We were lucky to be able to bring Mr. Lang back, Dr. Banner. We should probably take a look at the data that was recorded."

The Hulk nodded and immediately moved to shut down the control panel so the quantum tunnel wouldn't turn on again by accident. Scott left to go change out of his suit and put on a new change of clothes. Peter and Darcy followed Natasha outside to check on Cap. The super soldier was at the main entrance of the building, looking a little disappointed as he stood by the pillars.

"You okay?" The Black Widow asked.

Steve gave a little nod. "Yeah...that's just not what I was hoping to happen."

"To be fair, it was only a test run." Spidey pointed out. "We weren't really expecting it to work right off the bat."

"What happened though? Why did Mr. Lang appear as an old man and baby?" Darcy inquired.

Peter knew it was best to explain in layman's terms, otherwise none of them would understand. The science behind what happened was a little complicated even for him.

"Instead of pushing Scott through time, time got pushed through him instead. The cells in his body physically reacted to that passage of time by aging and de-aging swiftly...which is why we saw him as a teenager, old man, and then an infant. How that works is actually really complex but it's the most basic way I can explain it."

Natasha and Darcy got the gist of his explanation while Cap just barely understood what he was saying.

"So what do we do now?" He asked.

Peter didn't have an answer for that. The trial run they just did revealed a lot of dangers and flaws...but unfortunately, there weren't any easy solutions for them. Unless they devised a more reliable and safe method to navigate through the quantum realm, any more attempts through the tunnel would just end in them getting unnaturally older or younger like it did for Scott a moment ago.

Steve heard what sounded like a car engine revving away in the distance. When he looked up, there was indeed a silver car driving quickly down the path that led to the building. Peter and the others watched curiously as the black Audi slowed and stopped in front of where they were all standing. The window rolled down, revealing Tony Stark to be the one in the driver's seat.

"...Why the long faces? Let me guess, he turned into a baby."

Cap slowly nodded. "Among other things, yeah. What are you doing here?"

Stark got out of his car. "It's the EPR paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've pushed time through Lang. It's tricky, dangerous. Someone might've cautioned you against it."

"You did. Peter already explained to us about why it didn't work."

"Of course he did. I mean no offense but when it comes to this stuff, he's smarter than most of you combined."

"No arguments here."

The young Spider just shrugged his shoulders. "My expertise didn't really help us much in the end...but I'm guessing you're here to tell us that you've fixed the problem, right?"

"Got it in one, kid." Tony said before he raised his right arm. There was a small watch-like device attached to the back of his hand. "Here you are, a fully functional time-space GPS."

Cap couldn't help but smile a bit...he knew the billionaire would be able to figure something out.

"I just want peace. Turns out resentment is corrosive and I hate it."

"Me too." Steve said quietly.

Stark took a deep breath. "We got a shot at getting these stones but I got to tell you my priorities. Bring back what we lost, I hope, yes. Keep what I found, I have to, at all costs. And maybe not die trying would be nice."

The others didn't think that was so unreasonable. Neither did the super soldier as he offered his hand. "Sounds like a deal."

Tony shook his hand for a moment before he let go and went to the back of his car. Popping open the trunk, the billionaire carried out a pile of blankets and a dog doll that was sitting on top of something round. He quickly tossed the blankets and dog doll back into his car...revealing the round object to be none other than the Vibranium shield of the first Avenger.

Steve however seemed a little hesitant to take the shield back. After all, he nearly killed Tony once with it a few years ago. "Tony, I don't know..."

"Why? He made it for you." Stark said, holding out the shield. "Plus, honestly, I have to get it out of the garage before Morgan takes it sledding."

Peter and Darcy grinned as they pictured the four year old girl sledding down a snowy hill with Cap's shield. The funny thing was that it probably would work and it'd be a very fast ride down the hill.

Cap slowly placed his arm through the leather grip. Despite his misgivings, it felt nice to be able to hold the shield again. "...Thank you, Tony."

"Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team. Sorry, kid."

Spidey smirked. "It's fine, Mr. Stark...I probably couldn't even use a shield properly anyways."

Tony grabbed a toolbox out of his car before he closed the trunk. "We are getting the whole team, yeah?"

"We're working on that right now." Steve said, leading the way inside with Stark following right behind him.

The two Spiders and Darcy stayed behind for a moment and watched the two men walk away. Seeing Captain America and Iron Man agree to work together again gave them a good feeling. Peter couldn't help but think their chances of making this time heist plan an actual success just went up.

...

"Are you sure about this? I could come with you."

"I'll be alright. It's best that I do this alone...if there's more than one of us, he might think we're there to bring him into custody."

The Black Widow loaded her pistol with a fresh magazine and placed it in a small holster on the side of her pants. She was arming herself for a little trip to the other side of the world. Jessica had managed to pull off a encrypted set of longitude and latitude coordinates from that flip-phone they found in London. Those coordinates turned out to be in Tokyo, Japan...and Natasha believed that's where Clint was now. It would only take a few hours to get there if she flew in the Quinjet.

"Besides, you're about to leave for New Asgard yourself with Bruce and Jane." She said.

Peter sighed. "I know...but I'm pretty sure they'll be able to bring Thor back without me. All Jane has to do is scold him into helping us out."

Natasha chuckled at the thought before she put on a jacket and headed for the launch pads outside. Spidey leapt off the table he'd been sitting on and quickly followed her. They walked past Tony, who was building a new quantum tunnel in the room their test run recently happened in. The construction had just begun a couple of hours ago but there already was a foundation on which the rest of the tunnel would be standing on halfway done. If there was one thing certain about the billionaire, it was that he didn't waste any time in building something when it really mattered.

Stark spotted the two Spiders going by and lazily waved at them in greeting before he went back to work. Spider-Man and the Black Widow walked outside, where they saw the Benatar parked out on the front lawn of the building. Sitting on a bench nearby was Scott...who was staring at the ship in wonder as he ate a burrito. Bruce, Jane, and Darcy were already waiting inside the ship. Rocket was waiting by the bay-doors and looked over at Peter when he saw him approach.

"Let's go, Webs." Rocket said, waving for him to get inside too. "We don't want to be late in getting to New Asgard."

"I'll be right there. Just give me a minute."

Peter turned back to Natasha. "...You should bring an umbrella. Karen told me it's raining pretty hard in Japan right now."

Natasha gave Peter a quick kiss. "I'll remember that. See you in a bit."

"Yeah. Good luck out there...and be careful."

The Black Widow nodded and kissed Peter once more before she turned around to get to the Quinjet. He watched Natasha leave, silently hoping things would go alright for her. Not wanting to keep the others waiting any longer, Peter stepped aboard the Benatar so they could begin to make their way to New Asgard.

...

- Peter's explanation regarding why Ant-Man aged and deaged so quickly was just something I made up. I tried to find out the science behind it but none of the articles that I found explained why or how it happened.

- Stay safe and healthy, folks. See you all next time.
