Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC's Tamu and Kamau and any alterations to the original storyline plot their combined presence creates to various readers amusement everywhere across the globe during these dark and grim days.
The Sweetest Night Flower Of Wakanda 3 Chapter 4
With Tony Stark refusing to take part in the plan those searching for an expert with a brain equal to his knew of only one final solution.
Bruce Banner.
Bruce actually isn't nearly as difficult to locate as he previously was when he used to be on the run from the American government.
But the surprise came when they did find him at a diner where he was having an early dinner.
Bruce was in Hulk's form, but the mind occupying it and in full control is fully his, fully clothed and wearing glasses. None of them could remove their eyes from Bruce's new image because of how strange and weird it actually is.
Even more so to a little boy. Once the adults snapped out of it Tamu has to constantly make sure Kamau isn't opening gapping and staring at Bruce like a fish. It's quite a comical sight. Truthfully Tamu battles to keep a straight face during the whole conversation they have. All of it threatening to burst forth. Luckily she manages to keep it together.
To be honest Bruce was, also, skeptical about the idea, but wasn't completely against the notion like Tony was. The two have good intentions, carrying alternate priorities. No, his concerns are whether or not he can really do it correctly since it's not his area of expertise. To be fair no one is. Time travel has never been done before. Fortunately, after a little gentle coaxing by Natasha, he was convinced to go through with trying at the very least.
So the group returns to the Avengers Compound in upstate New York. The facility is already equipped with the materials they need for this. They just hadn't realized it at the time. The one thing missing as the van containing equipment that Scott in the past used while working with is the old team. Without it things would've taken weeks if not months to prepare even with the few Pym Particles Scott snagged before the Snap went down. This saves a lot of time for them. Although considering this is simply in the first stages of testing so they're not really expecting that much. They'll need a far bigger machine than the portal in the van to follow through in the mission.
This is an extremely delicate operation. Every meticulous action and detail must be scrutinized closely. The slightest error may mean victory or another disastrous defeat that no one thinks they can handle a second time in disappointment. There's too much at stake which incredibly so is an understatement.
Since he has the most experience going through the Quantum Realm out of all of them Scott is the chosen test subject to go through the process first. Tamu is observing the test from a safe distance just in case something big goes wrong. She's standing on a catwalk on one of the upper levels with Kamau playing occupied at her feet. In a facility like this Tamu doesn't want to let a little boy his age out of her sight.
With Steve, Bruce, and Natasha standing by Scott jumps right into it…only to return after the time limit seconds later as a little boy a few years older than Kamau. Scott is sent back twice in order to reverse the change, but each time he either comes back as an old man or infant. On the 4th try, Scott is back to normal. Everyone's pleased to see him back safe and sound, whole and in one piece, but these results aren't encouraging besides Bruce's point of view. Turns out instead of going through time it instead messed with Scott's own genetic structure which reverts him to different ages. Something Tony had feared and mentioned to them during their visit to the lake house.
Then something astonishing happens.
Tony Stark arrives to help, stating that he'd figured out a safe and secure solution to time travel. Exactly the reassurance they've been missing all along.
Now things can move forward according to the system in the plan.
Rocket and Nebula are called in from outer space, Rhodey from his regular patrols and work with the military, Natasha retrieving Clint, and Bruce and Rocket collecting an indisposed and much changed Thor. The latter Tamu met with disbelief and disgust once discovering how he let himself go. Still everyone is needing to contribute their set of skills in unique ways.
They're all going to be needed in what's to come with how everything is supposed to go.
While it may seem impossible the hardest part in making the machine and actually testing if it'll work once perfected is the easy part. The real hard part is surmising where and when in time the stones are along with those to arrange into teams in order to get them. It's so beneficial that a majority of Avengers have encountered at least one of the Infinity Stones or realizes where a couple of them can be. Took a lot longer to get this done than the original labor.
Scott, Tony, Steve, and Bruce will be retrieving the Space, Time, and Mind Stones from during the attack on New York City when Thanos first attempts to purify the planet with Loki as the proxy. Rhodey and Nebula will be retrieving the Power Stone before Quill has a chance to steal it. Rocket and Thor are teaming up to acquire the Reality Stone from Jane when she was on Asgard with Thor. Lastly Clint and Natasha are being sent for the Soul Stone.
Tamu is the only one who won't be participating in the time travel. She will be staying behind to make sure everything is functioning properly with the Quantum Tunnel on her end so everyone can make it back. Also, Tamu isn't much of a scientist like Shuri, but she lives in the most technologically advanced place in the world. She can handle this just perfectly fine. Also, understandably, Tamu is scared to death about an accident leaving her trapped either in the Quantum Realm or lost in time. The stress brought onto her already anxious nerves was concerning. A mishap will result in her boy being left without both his parents instead of one. The others refuse to fault her for this including Tony and Scott who have kids of their own.
Speaking of which Pepper picked up Kamau a little bit before this. Kamau would stay at the lakehouse until it was safe to come back.
Hypothetically this may simply take a small handful of minutes where she is, but that doesn't mean those minutes aren't crucial. Every second traveling in space and time counts.
They cannot fail.
Authors Note:
I don't know about the rest of you, but I was in shock and disbelief as soon as I learned of Chadwick's passing. It's so sad for both his family and fans. He was such a good man.
At last! At long last! The 100th story is finally created! Ah! I'm so happy and proud with myself. The goal has been reached, but that doesn't mean I'm not opened to continuing to receive other story suggestions in the future. I'll always be open to them. Feel free to let me know what they are and if they click then I'll get right to it. Glad to have and am thankful for all your support.
Watching Justice League: Dark Apokolips gave me a certain idea. What do you guys think of me combining my characters Audrina from Heart Of Atlantis and Danika from this one once we get to this new movie?
Also, I still haven't figured out what Danika's superhero name should be. I really need this figured out because the following chapter after this one will be where her superhero name is chosen for this story. The choices are now down to Tempest and Twilight.
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while now and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it. Apologies for it taking so long. I've been debating on how to go about it for a while and finally figured it out.
Right now during this epidemic with the coronavirus that's impacting every nation in the entire world we really do need find whatever sources we possibly can in order to lighten our spirits. Especially those who are unfortunately stuck sick or those locked in self isolation in order to prevent both contraction and spread of the illness. For those of us who have the abilities to do this we have a duty to keep up morale and that's exactly what I wholeheartedly desire these new stories and updates concocted during this time do for you.

Since there are still just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.
I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con 2019! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D
For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance. Unfortunately this year it appears like Comic Con might be skipped not just in New York, but also in all it's regular places during the course of scheduled events. I think we all know the reason for it is plain as day.
The coronavirus.
Can't exactly blame with how dreadful things are getting in escalation and the fact that places like the Javits Center in New York have been temporarily converted into makeshift hospitals in order to deal with the overflow of people contracting infections from this rapidly spreading virus that might as well be called a plague at this point. Let's keep fingers crossed that an aim is to have this pass us before then so things can get back on track. If it is then New York Comic Con might be exactly what people need in order to lighten their spirits after all this darkness. Stay safe everyone and long to eventually see you there.
