Chapter 8

Time Heist

Steve and Tony went inside and had Bruce, Scott, and Natasha take a lunch break. Scott is sitting outside. Just then the Benatar landed and Nebula and Rocket got out. Then Rhodey landed next to Scott scaring him half to death. Nebula, Rocket, and Rhodey joined Natasha, Yumi, Jeremie, Sarah, Steve, and Tony for lunch.

" I know where Barton is headed next." said Rhodey

"Where?" asked Natasha

"He's headed for Tokyo Japan." informed Rhodey

After lunch Natasha had watch Sarah. She got into a quin jet and headed for Tokyo. By the time she got there and found Barton. The man had just killed a group of Yakuza. He stood and wiped his sword on his sleeve. Knowing that someone was there.

"You shouldn't be here." warned Barton

"Neither should you." replied Natasha

Barton turn around and saw Natasha who was standing under a black umbrella. Considering it was raining hard.

"We found a way to bring everyone back." Natasha assured

"Don't give me any hope Nat." remarked Barton

"I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner." replied Natasha

She held out her hand and Barton took it. Natasha took him to the quin jet. Meanwhile Banner and Rocket took the Benatar to New Asgard to find Thor. They landed a few miles away. And rode in the back of a truck into New Asgard. Once in New Asgard Bruce found Thor's house. He knocked on the door and they found Thor. Gone is the muscle bound short hair friend they knew. Standing before them is fat slob with long hair and wild beard.

"Hello my friends welcome to my home." said Thor

"Hi Thor we're here to ask you to rejoin the team." said Bruce

"No thank you Bruce I have no interest of rejoining the team. Besides there is no need to even to get the team together." argued Thor

"We are getting the team together. Because we have found a way to bring everyone back. And possibly take care of Thanos once and for all." assured Bruce

Thor didn't answer he just stared across the room.

"There is beer on the ship." added Rocket

Thor reluctantly agreed to go with Rocket and Bruce. Once everyone was back at the compound. Dinner was ready Steve and Yumi had ordered out for Pizza and wings. Sarah gladly met all of the new people that have come to the compound. After dinner everyone just relaxed and talked. A month later work on the quantum tunnel is done. Now they just have to test it. Barton offered to help test it. He got into the quantum suit that Tony came up with. Barton stepped onto the platform. Bruce flipped some switches.

"We'll send you back for a minute. Then bring you back." informed Bruce

With that said Barton disappeared then he suddenly came back. Barton held up a baseball glove.

"It works." assured Barton

Now that they know they quantum tunnel works. They just need to figure out. Were to find the stones and what years to go get them. So they went into the conference room. First Rocket talked about the power stone. Then Nebula talked about the soul stone. Thor then tried talking about the reality stone aka the ether. Then Steve, Tony, and Bruce talked about what they knew about the space and mind stones. They only stone they don't really know much about is the time stone. But they do know that Doctor Strange was located in New York. Now they have to figure out what years to go back to. To get the the stones.

So far they have figured out 2013 on Asgard for the reality stone. They just have to figure out. What years to go to. For the power, soul, space, time, and mind stones. With Bruce's help they soon figured out. 2014 is the year to get the power and soul stones. Soon Natasha is lying on a table next to Tony. And Bruce is on the floor next to the table. The red/blonde headed woman is between two men. With triple digit IQ's. And between the two men they have several doctorates. Natasha is smart in her own right but not as smart as they are. Just then Natasha had an idea. "You do realize if given the right year. There are three infinity stones in New York." informed Natasha

"Shut the front door." said Bruce rolling over to his side

They figured that 2012 is the best year to go to. Now they have a plan. Thor and Rocket will go to 2013 Asgard to get the reality stone. Rhodey and Nebula will go to 2014 Morag. Natasha and Clint will take the Benatar to 2014 Vormir. And Tony, Steve, and Scott will go to 2012 New York. It's late so they had dinner. They then hung out until went to bed. The next day after breakfast. Natasha, Steve, Thor Tony, Bruce, Clint, Scott, Rhodey, Rocket, and Nebula got into their quantum suits. Before going out to the quantum tunnel. Natasha found Sarah and knelt down in front of her.

"Mommy and Daddy have to go do something. We will be back soon. You be good for Auntie Yumi." informed Natasha

"Ok Mommy." said Sarah

Natasha stood up and the group went out to the quantum tunnel. They all stepped onto the platform. Natasha looked at Steve and said "See you soon." Soon Steve, Tony, Bruce, and Scott are in 2012 New York. Rocket and Thor arrived safely on Asgard the year 2013. Rhodey, Nebula, Clint, and Natasha are on Morag the year 2014. Natasha and Clint are leaving Rhodey and Nebula on Morag. While she and Clint go to Vormir to get the soul stone.

"I pre programmed the ship to take you two to Vormir.' informed Nebula

Natasha and Clint nodded and got into the ship. They pressed the buttons that Nebula told them to press and they were off. Meanwhile in 2012 New York Bruce got the time stone. Steve got Loki's scepter with the mind stone in it. But Tony and Scott failed to get the tessarat. But then Tony an idea so he looked at Steve.

"I think I know another time to get the cube." informed Tony

"Are you sure Tony?" asked Steve

"Do you trust me?" asked Tony

"I do." replied Steve

"Head back to base Scott." said Steve

Tony and Steve used the device on their wrists and they disappeared. On Asgard Thor was no help to Rocket. Thor ended up talking to his mother. And getting Mjoinir proving that he is still worthy. Luckily Rocket was able to get the Aether. On Morag Rhodey and Nebula knocked out Star Lord. They went to the temple and got the power stone. Rhodey headed back but Nebula malfunctioned. When she came too she know that Thanos know what they are doing. She ran back to the pod.

"Rhodey come in Rhodey Thanos knows!" shouted Nebula

Just as she finished the pod was beamed up into a huge ship. Once on the ship she was beaten by Thanos. On Vorrmir Natasha and Clint made their way up to a temple that is by a cliff. Once at the temple the red skull told them how to get the soul stone.

"Can you believe that guy?" asked Clint

"It's no coincidence that left here without his daughter." argued Natasha

The two friends knew what they had to do. Suddenly Natasha grabbed Clint and flipped him slamming him onto the ground.

"Tell, Steve, Sarah, and Yumi that I love them." demanded Natasha.

Clint saw an opening and flipped Natasha pinned her.

"Tell them yourself. You'll be telling my family that I love them. argued Clint

He got off of Natasha and ran for the cliff. Natasha quickly got into a kneeling potion. And threw two of her smoke bombs. The smoke bombs went off and Clint started coughing. Natasha dashed toward the cliff. Clint quickly waved the smoke from his eyes. Grabbed one of his exploding arrows aimed and fired. The arrow exploded right next to Natasha. Knocking her off her feet and onto the ground. Clint took off toward the cliff. Before Natasha can do anything Clint jumped off the cliff. Natasha got up and looked over the ledge. She can see Clint laying motionless below.

Suddenly all went black for Natasha. When she came too was was in a pool of water. She sat up and opened her right hand to see the soul stone. Natasha started and said "It should have been me." Meanwhile at Camp Lehigh in the 1970's. Tony and Steve luckily got the tesseract. Steve saw Peggy Carter hi first love. But he looked at his wedding ring. And reminded himself that he's married to his other love Natasha. And they have a wonderful little girl. Tony also got to talk to his father Howard. Before the group knew it they were standing on the platform. Of the quantum tunnel.

What they don't know is that Nebula isn't the Nebula that they left with. Steve looked over at Natasha and saw that. She looked sad and noticed that Barton is missing.

"Where's Barton?" asked Steve

"He sacrificed himself for the soul stone. It should have been me." sobbed Natasha

"Sestra how could you say that?" asked a voice

Everyone looked to see Yumi with Jeremie and Sarah. They wanted to welcome the group back from their mission. But they also just heard what Natasha said. Yumi just shook her head angrily and left the room. With Jeremie and Sarah following her. Steve walked up to Natasha with a sympathetic look on his face.

"I understand that you lost your best friend. But you shouldn't be saying things like that." stated Steve

"It should have been me. Barton has a wife and three kids. Yeah I know I have a family too and my job. And I'm better for it." sobbed Natasha

Steve hugged hugged wife and tried to console her. But he is a little mad at the same time.

"I think you should go calm down we have work to do." suggested Steve

Natasha nodded an went to one of the extra bedrooms. While the rest got to work. They need to turn the tesseract, Aether, and crack open Loki's scepter and turn what's inside into stones. Tony is getting to work on a nano tech gauntlet. Steve went to go find Yumi, Jeremie, and Sarah. He found them in the common room watch cartoons with Sarah. The super solider patted Yumi on the shoulder.

"I don't think Natasha meant what she said." assured Steve

Yumi didn't say a word she just huffed and continued watching cartoons.
