Avengers Compound, night

Inside, Natasha is prepping a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while having a meeting with the other Avengers, who were all at different locations, where she was provided with updates on what they were doing lately. In the past five years, Natasha continued the team, with Carol, Rocket, Nebula, Rhodey, Okoye, Kirby, SpongeBob, Mikey, Espio, Vector, Jet, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Donnie acting as members, operating on a bigger scale than they used to, helping reform the world back to normal after the Decimation. Natasha is currently having a meeting with on holographic channels.

Rocket: Yeah, we boarded that highly suspect warship Danvers pinged.

Nebula: It was an infectious garbage scowl.

Rocket: So, thanks for the hot tip. [turns to Danvers and replies back with a smirk]

Carol: Well, you were closer.

Rocket: Yeah. And now we smell like garbage.

Jet: I was wondering if there were treasure in there?!

Shadow: Don't get used to it, Jet!

Amy: Knuckles said that he is also guarding the Master Emerald around the clock on Angel Island.

Natasha: (turns to Espio and Vector) Espio, Vector! How are things going down there?

Vector: Well it looks like we've been helping Mr. McBride out since his family vanished.

Espio: And he's quite friendly all of a sudden.

Natasha: [turns to Okoye] You get a reading on those tremors?

Okoye: 'Twas a mild subduction under the African plate.

Natasha: Do we have a visual? How are we handling it?

Okoye: Nat, it's an earthquake under the ocean. We handle it by not handling it.

Natasha: (turns to Danvers) Carol, are we seeing you here next month?

Carol: Not likely.

Rocket: What, you gonna get another haircut?

Kirby: Rocket?!

Carol: (irritated) Listen fur-face, I'm covering a lot of territory. The things that are happening on Earth, are happening everywhere, on thousands of planets.

Rocket: (murmurs to himself) All right, all right, that's a good point. That's a good point.

Kirby: It looks like Popstar is still in one piece.

Carol: So you might not see me for a long time.

Kirby: Unless I come by to see you guys.

Donnie: At least I'm taking care of Tails' Lab since he disappeared along with Master Splinter.

Rouge: Unless you invite Sonic and your brothers over for a visit.

SpongeBob: Well I'm taking care of the Krusty Krab, Sandy's Treedome, and Patrick's House while they're gone since Gary disappeared along with them.

Natasha: Alright. Uh, well. This channel is always active. So, if anything goes sideways... anyone's making trouble where they shouldn't... comes through me.

Okoye agrees in her language.

Rocket: Okay.

Donnie: Give some to Leo and Raph.

Shadow: Tell Sonic we said hello.

SpongeBob: I'll see you later.

Natasha: All right.

The Avengers cut off their calls one by one...

Carol: (To Rhodey) Good luck. (cuts off call)

Except for Rhodes. Nat sighs exhausted, and sits down, as she notices Rhodes still online in the call.

Natasha: Where are you?

Rhodey: Mexico. The Federales found a room full of bodies. Looks like a bunch of cartel guys. Never even had the chance to get their guns off.

Natasha: It's probably a rival gang.

Rhodey: Except it isn't. [Nat realizes something.] It's definitely Barton. What he's done here, what he's been doing for the last few years... I mean, the scene that he left... [Nat starts to show signs of sadness as she gradually tears up.] I gotta tell you, there's a part of me that doesn't even want to find him.

In an abrupt moment of silence, she tries to chew her tears and emotional feelings as she eats a sandwich.

Natasha: Will you find out where he's going next?

Rhodey: Nat...

Natasha: Please.

Rhodey: [reluctantly] Okay. [then Rhodes cuts off his]

Back in San Francisco

After reuniting with his daughter and half of his friends, Scott heads back to the storage unit to reclaim Luis' van in order to get to the Avengers to have a major solution to their Thanos problem. However, Shadow appears in front of him.

Scott: Who are you? And what are you doing here anyway?!

Shadow: My name is Shadow! Shadow the Hedgehog!

Scott: I'm Scott Lang. I've heard a lot about you since Hank and Hope told me about the Space Colony ARK incident.

Shadow: Very well! It's been five years since the Snap happened. All of us thought you were dead.

Scott: Apparently, the Quantum Realm is five hours. And I am not dead.

Shadow: For us it's five years.

Scott: Time dilation?

Shadow: Yes! This is what how it looks different from the real world.

Scott: So that's why Janet never figured out time dilation since she was in there for 30 years.

Shadow: What you are saying is that. You need to find a way into the Quantum Realm.

Scott: But first things first. You need to use your Chaos Control to send me where Cap is.

Shadow: On it!

He teleports himself, Scott and the van to Avengers Compound.

Back to Natasha, who is joined by Steve.

Natasha: [Deep in her thoughts] I used to have nothing. And then I got this. This job... this family. And I was... I was better because of it. And even though... they're gone... I'm still trying to be better.

Steve: I think we both need to get a life.

Natasha: [Smiling] You first.

A camera footage pops up in front of them, showing Scott Lang with his Quantum Realm Van behind him.

Scott: Oh! Hi. Hi! Is anyone home? This is Scott Lang. We met a few years ago, at the airport? In Germany? I got really big, and I had my mask on. You wouldn't recognize me.

Steve: [Standing up] Is this an old message?

Natasha: [Also standing up] It's the front gate.

Sonic and Leo arrive to join them.

Sonic: Would you look at that! Scott is alive!

Leo: I knew he was still alive.

Sonic: Wait! Wasn't he even dead at the time?!

Scott: Ant-Man? Ant-Man, I know you know that. I need to talk to you guys.

Inside the Avengers Compound, Scott pacing worriedly in front of Steve, Natasha, Sonic, and Leo.

Steve: Scott. Are you okay?

Scott: Yeah. I'm fine.

[He struggles to ask about something. He finally blurts it out.]

Scott: Have you ever studied Quantum Physics?

Sonic: Well Tails has studied them. And Lincoln said Lisa does too.

Leo: Or Don. SpongeBob said that Sandy studied them recently.

Natasha: Only to make conversation.

Scott: Alright. So... five years ago, right before Thanos, I was in a place called the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be incredibly small. Hope, she's my... She was my... [struggling to not tell the entire truth about their relationship] She was supposed to pull me out. And then Thanos happened, and I got stuck in there.

Natasha: I'm sorry. That must've been a very long five years.

Lincoln: Wait 'til everyone sees you.

Scott: Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was five hours.

Sonic and Leo: Five hours?

The group share a quick bewildered glance.

Scott: See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is that anybody's sandwich? I'm starving.

He strides over to pick up Nat's sandwich, and bites into it.

Steve: Scott, what are you talking about?

Scott: What I'm saying is, time works differently in the Quantum Realm. The only problem is right now, we don't have a way to navigate it. But what if we did? I can't stop thinking about it. What if, we could somehow control the chaos, and we could navigate it? What if there was a way to enter the Quantum Realm at a certain point in time but then exit at another point in time? Like... Like before Thanos.

Sonic: It looks like Chaos Control could be useless by that.

Steve: Wait, are you talking about a time machine?

Scott: No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. It's more like a... Yeah, a time machine. I know it's crazy. But I can't stop thinking about it. There's gotta be some way... There's gotta be...some w... it's crazy.

Natasha: Scott, I get e-mails from a raccoon, so nothing sounds crazy anymore.

Scott: So who do we talk to about this?

Sonic: Maybe an old friend would.

Just in case I did not add part of the Steve and Natasha scene in it. Thus I added the Scott and Shadow scene.
