Your name is Maite Hirsch and you're fighting Afghani terrorists.
This is not exactly how you thought this jump would go, you find yourself thinking as you try to protect a newly healed Yinsen as best as you can.
Finally, the Mark 1 rounds the corner and abruptly halts, Tony inside clearly a bit overwhelmed with the fact that there's a magic vs. guns battle happening right in front of him.
Mind helping me out?! you shout at him.
That seems to shake him out of his stupor and the two of you make quick work of the Ten Rings encampment- or at least the inhabitants. Somewhere along the way, Yinsen got injured again and you finally know why Amy told you to bring the sling ring.
You go destroy the weapons- I'll get Yinsen to a safe place. No need to worry about us, you shoot Tony a reassuring smile.
He asks where you even came from. You tell him that that's a long story. If I get the chance, I'll tell you, you promise.
"I'll take your word for it, Sabrina," Tony nods and exits the cave.
Yinsen groans from where he's lying next to you. He asks you to leave him so he can see his family.
"I just promised Tony to get you help, Ho. Besides, I think you'll like this place," you smile and open a portal to Kamar-Taj. "Scuse me!" you yell through.
A very surprised Wong enters the portal's vicinity. "Hi, sorry, my name is Maite Hirsch, I'm not a member yet," you heave Yinsen to his feet and walk through the portal, the doctor leaning heavily on you.
"Yet?" Wong asks.
You set the sluggishly bleeding doctor down on a nearby bench and fumble the amulet out from under your tunic. Wong's eyes light up in understanding.
"When will you get here?"
"Um, I visit again sometime... 2013 or so? My actual self gets here 2014 in the New York Sanctum."
Yinsen grunts confusedly.
"Oh yea, can you get him some medical attention?" you point at the doctor, a bit sheepishly. "And I might need to borrow a computer for a moment- I need to sling somewhere, but I don't have a clear picture."
As it turns out, Kamar-Taj is all too happy to oblige and around twenty minutes later, you have a picture of the Afghani desert at least moderately near where Tony was being held.
You open a portal and start walking. Approximately five minutes into trekking through the unforgiving hot sand, you remember that you learnt a tracking spell and smack a hand to your forehead. Idiot, you mutter and start weaving the spell matrix into the air.
You set off in the right direction this time- which was to the left behind you. Figures. You rub off the sweat collecting on your brow as you jog through the desert sands.
Finally, you spot your target in the distance. "Tony!" you shout.
The figure halts, clearly confused even from this far away and you start running in earnest. "Back here!" you yell again.
Tony -now only a few hundred meters away- turns to look at you. "Holy shit, it's you!" he yelps.
You reach him and rest your hands on your knees for a moment, panting slightly as the spell matrix flickers out.
"Yeah... It's me. Hi. Yinsen's fine, by the way," you add.
"That's... good. Really good. How did you get here?" He asks. You both start moving again in order to get away from the camp.
"Well, I can make portals," you shrug. "I need a clear picture though, so it took me a while to find you again."
"So, if you had a picture of my home, you could get me there?"
"Unless you happen to have a photograph of your living room with you, I'm afraid I can mostly get you to two apartments on two seperate alien planets, a house in Greenwich, New York and a temple in Tibet."
"... Wait, alien planets?"
"... Shit, forget I said that," you curse. "It's not important for a few more years."
"Okay, explain."
"Basically, I'm from 2015. The alien thing became a thing that's important... 2011, I think? So yeah, you still have some time left."
"Time travel. Why not..." He mutters.
Amy hums against your collarbone. "Speaking of which, I need to skedaddle," you say.
Tony shoots you a weird look, then you vanish.
Loki steadies you when the ground changes from the slope of a dune to your apartment floor. You thank him before reporting what happened this time.
Your name is Maite Hirsch and you interrupt your explanation when you feel the Reality Stone activate.
Erm... oops? I didn't mean to take quite this long.
