PART 2
Chapter 2x21: Rewind
"So I'm a teenager again?" - asked Arash
"According to this, you are back to be 15 years old and a couple of weeks, basically when everything started" - explained Bruce
"I basically just rewind this last 5 years...well fuck" - said Arash stunned
It's been a couple of hours after the team grieve the loss of Natasha, when everybody changed before going to talk in the lakeside of the Compound to mourn her, Arash saw himself in the mirror noticing his look was now younger which explained also his clothes not quiet fitting now, he freaked out and screamed calling the attention of some of the heroes who also realize as well what happened to the boy, except for Farah and Eddie who noticed as soon as they saw him after the minute in the chamber.
He did got a side effect after all but it wasn't as big as they expect, after the mourn in the lakeside, Bruce did some studies on the boy to see how much he got affected, other thing that they notice was a blond streak on his hair that he didn't have before, maybe another side effect, Tony trying to light up the mood joked about how he could just dye that part and Farah offered to buy the hair dye, but Arash voted against the idea, he was ok with it, in fact he like it, it reminded him of the very streaks that Natasha kept on her hair after her natural red color was back.
"Maybe we can work something on the machine to help you get back" - said Bruce
"No, it's fine, I even feel my powers flowing through me stronger" - said Arash as his eyes and ring glowed golden but not only them, now even his hair was all golden as well when he activate his powers (except for the streak on his hair that turned black like his natural hair color) before stopping - "whatever happens, I get the feeling we need all the boost we can have around here" - he added confident
"Are you sure you about your "ring tingle" being right?" - asked Tony
"When you guys were 30 seconds in I could feel it" - said Arash - "Something was wrong...but I don't think it was Nat, something wrong about timeline" - he explained a little mad he couldn't just say the things he saw on the vision as he thought about the possibility of a butterfly effect by telling others - "by the way, stop calling it "tingle" please" - he added rolling his eyes at Stark who just smirked
"Well Steve and I had to get back further in time to get the Space Stone because Loki escaped with other one, maybe it was that, we had to activate the time travel again and we overwork you" - explained Tony
"Maybe that has something to do with what happened to me...but I don't think that is what my ring sensed, because I can still sense something" - said Arash
"Well whatever it is, we are gonna be prepare and suit up when we try to get everybody back, I have a tingle about it" - teased Tony making the King roll his eyes at him
"Well if you all are done with "Glowy King", we need to start working on the gauntlet for the stones" - said Rocket
"Yeah, we are done" - said Arash starting to leave but stopping next to Hulk - "Bruce" - he called making the scientist turn to him - "whatever you need...I know how you felt about her and...you both were there for me before...so...I'm here for you too" - he said with a hand on the man's shoulder who smiled weakly and gave him a nod - "see you guys later" - said Arash walking away
"Hey" - called out Farah joining the now teen boy as he walked out of the lab - "so...everything good?" - He asked
"Yeah...well besides being back to growing pains, I'm good" - said Arash
"Do you think this had something to do with that issue on the chamber when you hit the 30 seconds on the countdown?" - asked Farah
"I think so...but something else is wrong, my ring is telling me about it and it hasn't been wrong before, so we gotta keep our eyes open" - explained Arash as he still thought something could be happening about his vision and Tony
- Time Skip -
The gauntlet was ready so everybody go to suit up before doing The Snap all over again, Arash was on his room sitting on the bed pulling himself together, this was it, this was the moment of the truth, he took deep breaths before finally going to the drawer where his suit was, but not the Nightcrow suit, the Vizier suit, after all like Nat told him, the world needs the hero now, not the vigilant.
When the Persian boy open the drawer he found a piece of paper folded in half at the top of his suit, he took it the paper and lift it making something fall off from it, he took the object and saw that it was a silver necklace with a green eye shape jewel on it, he was a little confused by that and decided to look the piece of paper seeing as it had something written on it, he open it and started to read.
I don't know how you found out about it, but you knew something was gonna happened and I just tried to assure you that it can't be undone, what I'm going to do it can't be undone, but it's something that is gonna help a lot of people and I'm proud of it, I'm proud of what I become this last couple of years working with the team and I'm proud that at the end of it all I found a family, not only brothers and sisters, but even the closest thing I could have to someone I could teach things and watch them grown even from a far because I know maybe I didn't do my best or didn't always said the right things, but I tried because I care for you.
In case what we talked wasn't about me and it was about you or someone else, remember: do the right thing for a greater good.
P.S. This is the necklace I was wearing when we first met, I don't actually have many things to leave behind, but if I want someone to have this...is you.
Nat
A single tear escaped from the eyes of the now teenage King as he looked at the letter on one of his hands and the necklace in the other, he pulled the necklace close to his chest and hug it taking a deep breath as more tears fall from his eyes, but he wasn't sobbing like yesterday, he could collect after a minute.
"I cared about you too Nat" - whispered Arash looking at the letter and the necklace
The Persian boy put the letter on the top of the drawer and looking himself in the mirror he fixed the necklace around his neck and saw how the necklace looks on him, he smiled weakly at the reflection in the mirror just before taking the rest of his suit to put it on, except for the mask, he didn't need to wear that anymore as Vizier because everybody knows is him, so it's pointless to hide.
Once Arash was ready he walked out of the room to meet the rest of the heroes, the King looked around to see Thor, Bruce, Farah who was wearing her Dawn suit, Eddie didn't need a suit but was wearing yesterday's jacket, then he looked at Tony who smiled at him making Arash remember what Stark was talking to himself in the room nights ago and his vision, his ring still was giving him the sense of something about to happened so he was gonna keep an eye on the man just in case.
"All right, the glove's ready" - declared Rocket - "question is, who's gonna snap their freaking fingers?" - He asked
"I'll do it" - said Thor
"Excuse me?" - asked Arash confused
"It's okay" - answered Thor starting to walk towards the gauntlet
"Thor, wait, just wait" - said Arash nervously holding up his friend
"We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet" - said Steve
"I'm sorry, we're just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?" - asked Thor
"We should at least discuss it" - said Scott
"No, no, sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring everybody back" - said Thor mad - "I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me, it's my duty" - he explained
"It's not about that-" - started to say Arash worried
"It's not that..." - interrupted Thor - "stop it! Just let me!" - He said tearing up - "just let me do it...just let me do something good...something right" - he cried
"Thor..." - sighed Arash feeling the sadness of his friend
"Look, it's not just the fact that that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you, you're in no condition" - explained Tony
"What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?" - asked Thor
"Cheez Whiz?" - asked Rhodey making the Persian King eyed at him mad
"Lightning" - declared Thor
"Lightning won't help you, pal, it's gotta be me" - said Bruce
"What? Why?" - Asked Arash letting go his friend and now worried about the scientist
"You saw what those stones did to Thanos, it almost killed him, none of you could survive" - explained Bruce
"How do we know you will?" - asked Steve
"We don't, but the radiation's mostly gamma..." - trailed Bruce looking at the gauntlet - "...it's like...I was made for this" - he declared
"Well whatever happens, Thanos didn't have someone like me" - said Arash making the scientist look at him - "I will use my powers to heal you while you are doing it, I'm not gonna let that thing kill you" - he explained
While everybody was talking Nebula took the moment to sneak out of the discussion thinking that nobody will notice except for Dawn who look confused at the blue alien, first she thought it was about them talking about her dead father, but something was off and decided to follow her.
"Good to go, yeah?" - asked Tony to Hulk
"Let's do it" - said Bruce who looked at the Persian boy who nod at him
"Just remember everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today, don't change anything from the last five years" - explained Tony
"Got it" - said Bruce as everybody took a stand getting ready
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., do me a favor and activate Barn Door Protocol, will you?" - said Tony
"Yes, boss" - said F.R.I.D.A.Y. as the Avengers facility goes on lockdown
"Everybody comes home" - said Bruce moving his hand to put on the gauntlet, which nanobotically expands to fit his hand and the power surge overwhelms him, making him grunts in pain
"Take it off! Take it off!" - said Thor nervously
"No, wait...Bruce, are you okay?" - asked Steve
"Talk to me, Banner" - said Tony
"I'm okay, I'm okay" - said Bruce turning to look at Arash - "do your thing" - he said
Arash used his powers to make a golden energy surround Bruce's body like a personal shield focusing extra on the arm that had the gauntlet, he also concentrate on healing the pain the scientist was feeling and the man could feel himself a little better.
"What are you doing?" - Asked Farah to Nebula who was opening the Quantum Tunnel - "Stop!" - She ordered going to where the blue alien was to grab her
But Thanos daughter didn't back down and started to fight the Persian girl who didn't get to stop her as she finished putting the coordinates on the machine and clicking the right button to bring the Sanctuary II to the present.
Bruce manage to snap his fingers making him kneel on the floor in pain as the gauntlet slides off his arm, Clink kicks the gauntlet away while Arash hold his powers around his arm and rest of the body doing his best to heal the man.
"Bruce!" - called out Steve getting close
"Don't move him" - said Arash quickly to Cap making him stop his tracks
"Did it work?" - asked Bruce looking up
The heroes sigh in relieve as Hulk slowly stands up and the Arash stopped his powers showing that a scar on the man's arm was left after using the gauntlet which was just a little of damage compared to what happened to Thanos when he use it before.
Everybody was quiet while Scott walked towards the outside window seeing plants and birds, Clint hears his phone ringing and walked to see it's his wife calling, Arash phone also ringed showing in the ID that it was his aunt, both answered their phones.
"Honey...Honey" - said Clint struggling to contain his happiness
"What happened?" - Asked Arash scared but in a second his face changed, he looked happy and was struggling with tears just like Hawkeye - "guys...my family...it worked!" - He said crying
Suddenly a missile heading towards the base blow Scott away and then a continuous array of missiles destroyed the base completely making everyone sinks below to the underground.
A/N: And that is how I made Arash go back to be a teen, so don't worry is legal for him to be with Peter, if they ever get to be together of course, we are getting closer to the end guy, get ready for the big battle coming.
