Earlier

If Scott Lang only could mentally keep time, he could only assume for how long he had been trapped in the Quantum Realm, for him it was several hours, but was it was probably much less than that. He glanced down at the watch on the forearm of his Ant-Man suit. It still kept the track of the time, despise being traversed to a completely new world

It told him that he had been wandering through the Quantum Realm for five hours. Five hours that felt like much more to him.

As those hours were passing, he simply walked, looking at the majesty of the Quantum Realm. He tried to contact Hope, Hank and Janet on the other side, countless times, but everytime, silence was the only thing was getting from them in response. He wondered how Janet could survive thirty years in the Quantum Realm, alone. He had been here for only five hours, and already want to get out.

He was already missing Hank Pym's voice yelling in his ear, missing Hope, more than ever, when he thought of his daughter Cassie, he simply lifted his head up, and gasped quietly, he had to find get out of here, he couldn't leave her alone. He wanted to think of her, but knew tha the couldn't, it would only be more painful to him.

It was just moments before Ant-Man screamed as the white overcame his vision. He closed his eyes...

And when he opened them, he found himself to be falling out from the back of the van right into a pile of boxes.

He was finally out of the Quantum Realm, and would probably be relieved by it, but confusion overcame his body the moment when he was saw where was. The last time when he out of the Quantum Tunnel he was on a parking loot, but now he was in a  U-STORE-It Self-Storage facility, and it wasn't one f the most well-kept storage facilities around. Poor lighting, plus the rat infestation were only a few things to say about this facility.

He grunted as he pushed away a cushion out of his body, and deactivated the helmet of his suit, but was still grunting in pain, as he sweeped away sparks from an electrical failure out of his suit, then he tried to stand up, "What the hell?"

He managed to stand up, as another electrical failure sparked out of his gauntlets, and now looked around in a confused look. Where was Janet? Where was Hank? Where was Hope, "Hope?" He called over to her, but got no answer.

Inside of a security office, a security guard was reading a book as he looked upon his security screen, seeing something going on in one of the storage facilities. In the cameras, it showed Lang in his casual clothing, shouting, waving a sign with the word "HELP" written on it. The guard could feel his eye opening in confusion. What was this man he never saw before doing there?

Several minutes later, Scott was taken out of the facility. He was pulling out a pushcart and as he glanced back at the guard who shook his head at him while giving a stern look from far. Scott quickly turned his gaze away from him and started walking, until he reached his hometown. On his way there he cmae across some post filled with missing posters, abandoned houses, a wrecked car, nothing but desolation.

It was when he saw a kid on a bike pass by, as he called over to him, "Hey!"

The kid stopped and turned around to him, giving him a serious look.

''What the hell happened here?" Scott asked him, having no idea what happened in the Quantum Realm. The kid just stared at him, looking like he was about to tear up, but immediately turned away from him and move on, driving his bike away from Scott. Lang looked at him with the same confused look, as he proceeded to walk through the town until he arrived in somewhat a memorial called "The Vanished", with all the names of the people who became victims of the Decimation. As Lang arrived on one of the engraved stones, he immediately dropped the handle in shock.

"No. Please. Please, please..." He said, running over to check the other side of the engraved stone, "No, no, no. No." He excused aside a young couple as he kept on checking another engraved stone if his daughter's name was on one, "Excuse me, sorry. No, Cassie, no."

He checked another the memorial stone, and another, and another, but his daughter's name was nowhere to be found, but he found something else. He found that his name was written on the engraved stone, as he said to himself in shock, "What?"

He quickly took off after finding his name on that stone. He ran over to one house in his hometown. This hous was his. He rang on a doorbell, banged on the door, and tried opening the door, but they were locked. Then, he seaw a feminine figure appear out of a hallway inside. The figure got closer, revealing a woman in a purple sweater, with her hand pushing towards the glass door's window, and her face filled with amazement, as she unlocked the door. 

Once they opened, Scott's jaw fell, refusing to close. His daughter Cassie, who hasn't seen him for five years, was standing in front of him. Her jaw fell and refused to close as well, but just a second after, she grabbed his face and held it up  in an emotional sight and starts to smile tearfully. Lang did the same.

Scott felt his heart drop when she said that. He raised his hand opposite to hers, laid it on her own cheek, and whispered, calling her by her nickname, "... Peanut?"

''...Dad?" Cassie said, realizing that she was't just seeing things. He dad was standing in front of her. Both of them emotionally hug each other as both dad and daughter had reunited. Ant-Man having feeling mixed emotions. Sorrow that he missed five years of his daughters life, but also relief. Relief that she was okay.

Then Lang released her from the hug, and eyed her for a moment realizing that her daughter is now a full-grown teenager, "You're so big!"

The hugged again.

Now

The two groups were staring at each other in a rather awkward silence, the attention of the gems and one Kratai was mostly focused on Scott who was eyeing them for a moment, his eyes mustly focused on the gems.

"You weren't kidding, an actual people with rocks  implemented on their bodies..." He broke the silence, but he only made it more awkward, "Just, wow.''

"Yeah, life if full of suprises."  Shi'ra said, crossing her arms, as she was the only one who wasn't a gem on her side.

Scott panicked a bit at Shi'ra comment, "Oh, no, no, I didn't mean to say...."

Nat cut him off, "Scott, Shi'ra is just trying to mess with you, just tell them everything you told us.''

"Okay..." Scott started awkwardly, "I don't believe you know who I am..."

"Your name is Scott Lang." Garnet said, "We heard about you."

"Didn't he died in Thanos' snap?" Jasper asked what was on their minds. If she remembered correctly Ant-Man's was among those who weren't lucky enough to be spared in Thanos' snap.

"He did. I remember seeing his face on the holograms." Azurite agreed with the orange gem.

''If you didn't die in Thanos' snap, then where were you for all those years?" Peridot asked Scott, looking at him.

"Have you ever studied Quantum Physics?" was his answer to the short gems question, as everyone just stared at him in silence, letting him continue, "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."

"A microscopic universe?" Jasper whispered to Shi'ra and Azurite, all three of them looking to be already interested in what he was saying. 

''...To get in there, you have to be incredibly small." Scott continued, gesturing towards Peridot, "Even smaller than her."

"Don't call me small." Peridot huffed, crossing her arms.

Ignoring her comment, Scott continued, Hope, she's my... She was my..." He paused for a moment, 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.''

''I'm sorry that it happened, spending so many years in one place is hard for everyone." Azurite said, as he was locked in a small ship for most of his life.

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

"Five hours?" Shi'ra asked, wanting to be sure if she didn't misheard. Those five years were like five hours to him?

"I wish those five years were like five hours to me." Amethyst muttered to herself, sharing a bewildered glance with Garnet.

''See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable." Scott told them.

"What are you talking about?" Peridot wanted to know, looking to be as suprised as the rest about everything he was saying to them.

Scott looked down at the green gem, "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.''

"You're talking a time machine?" Amethyst asked.

"Creating a device like that is even possible?" Jasper asked another question. 

Scott shook his head, "No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. It's more like a..." He paused for a moment, knowing it was exactly what they thought, "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.''

''Scott, I get e-mails from a raccoon, and now you're talking with space gems and space huntresses so nothing sounds crazy anymore.'' Natasha stated.

"As I already said, we can travel back in time to the times before Thanos snapped his fingers and..." Scott said.

"...We can bring everyone back..." Garnet cut him off in realization.

Scott pointed at her, "Exactly." 

"We're getting the team together for it. You were actually the first ones we asked." Steve said, looking at the group of six, "We want to know if you're in for this."

Garnet, Amethyst, Jasper, Peridot, Azurite and Shi'ra all looked at each other, all of them having the same feeling inside of them. They finally got a chance to bring their friends and loved ones back. There was a chance that they may see Steven, Pearl, Spinel, Bismuth, Lapis, Connie, Orange Pearl, Quill, Drax, Groot and Mantis again. If this was their chance they've been waiting for all these years, then they had to try. 

Garnet gave Captain America a nod in response, knowing that everyone had the same answer for Steve's question, "We'll get to you as fast as we can."

Steven nodded his head, "Alright."

They said quick goodbyes to each other, as the hologram shut down, ending their talk Steve, Natasha and Scott, as Amethyst asked them, "What do we do now?"

"We're going to met up by Azurite's ship." Garnet answered, glancing over at the male gem, who nodded his head in response, "But at first, we need to get everything we may need and inform everyone that we may be gone for a few days."

"We'll find Centi and Biggs and tell them about it." Jasper spoke up, with Shi'ra and Amethyst nodding their heads in agreement as everyone looked at the orange gem. The three of them already had everything they needed from the mission from today. If this was going to work then She finally may understand why Strange gave up the stone to Thanos.

"We'll see in each other in a few minutes." Amethyst added.

Garnet, Azurite and Peridot nodded their heads at them, as everyone took off out of the house. Garnet went to the temple, Peridot went to her house in Little Homeworld, Azurite went to his house in Little Homeworld as well, and Jasper, Amethyst and Shi'ra went to find Centi and Biggs to tell them that they may be gone for a few days because the Avengers found something and they need their help with it.

As Azurite rushed into his room, he immediately went over to the cupboard. He was still storing his claws in his gems but everything else was still on the cupboard. His eyes went to his glove which was forming myst around it's user and his enemies, he was still unable to use it since he started using claws which were covering most of the glove, and he remembered that he didn't took them with him after finding out that Thanos was after Infinity Stones, but this time, he picked it up from the cupboard and placed it on his hand, just in case. Then his eyes went to his hooks, which he took with them to the battle five years ago, and used them to kill Proxima Midnight. He picked them up and placed them on his back.

When he was about to leave his room, he glanced over at the two pictures on his memorial wall. One of them showing the Guardians of the Galaxy, while the other one was showing him, Jasper, Shi'ra, Centi, Orange Pearl and Spinel. His attention was mostly focused on the ones who weren't lucky enough to be spared from Thanos's snap.

"If this will work, I promise I'm going to do everything to bring you back." He said to himself.

Just as he said that, he gave the pictures one last glanced before heading off out of his house towards his ship, and upon arriving at this place, he saw that everyone was already there. And that included Centi and Biggs.

It was just a moment before he, Shi'ra, Jasper, Garnet, Peridot and Amethyst got into his ship, and boarded from from Little Homeworld, heading towards New York, as Centi and Biggs were watching them leave from the ground.

Well, SU Future has ended, and that probably marks the end of the entire Steven Universe. The finale was okay, but it could have been better, really liked that the gems that Steven helped (like Lapis and Peridot) helped to uncorrupt him, and the scenes where he was saying goodbye to everyone made me tear up, or Steven giving Onion cheeseburger backpack, or seeing Yellow Pearl in an armor was great as well (that that was only part that made me smile in a episode that was hard to watch because Steven was literally destroying himself), but I have to admit that I also feel a little unsatisfied. Like what happened with Bluebird, or Curly Haired Lapis, or Cactus Steven? Each of them appeared in only one episode and just disappeared. Or where was Centi for the entire events of SU Future? She just appeared in an intro, and she was the only corrupted gem that had an arc in the show, she could have at least appeared in the background as a cameo. I also felt like the last episode should have been longer, to show how Steven is dealing with his trauma, instead of just showing us that he was okay. Or what was in that chest in Lion's mane? (I'm having FNAF 4 deja vu with this chest)

And with that, another one of the cartoons I enjoyed came to an end. To quote Bucky Barnes, "I'm going to miss you buddy.". Thank you show and anyone behind it for introducing us to great characters, for some great moments (like Ruby's and Sapphire's wedding, or Peridot calling Yellow Diamond a clod) and etc. I know I said it already but I'm going to miss this show :')
