   Hangover.

   I threw up already five times this morning. So Tony gave me a free pass to being useless in his room while the others are trying to finish the time machine. I sit down on the bed, feeling like a zombie, when Scott walked in.

   "Hey ya. Heard you're feeling bad so I brought you orange slices." Scott walks in.

   "Hey..." I say.

   "We got it. Clint went back in time and come back in one piece. Not a baby. Tony said we're gonna have a meeting in about 5 minutes about the location of the stones in the past, and that you should be there."

   "I will be there... let me change or something..." I mutter.

   "Hey."

   I look at Scott. "Yes?"

   "Um, I'm feeling a little lost. I time-traveled... and now cassie is all grown up, but you still look the same."

   "I can't age." I rub my eyes.

   "Why not?"

   "I don't really know. But I'm not supposed to be in this world, so maybe my body is like. Aye, this ain't the atmosphere I remembered, keep this bitch a fossil."

   "Say in 100 years from now, you'll still look 16?"

   "I guess? If I make it that far, but then again I was... buffed. You missed out a lot Mike Hannigan."

   "Mike hanni-who?"

   "That's you on friends. From my world, stay confused."

   Scott stays confused so I continue.

   "Anyway, I was saying that, I had this theory that if I die in this world I'll go back to my world. But I doubted it, and so, one night on Peter's birthday back on years two after the snap, the pain get a little too overwhelmed and I just wanted everything you end, and I jumped from the rooftop."

   "That went dark very quickly— you what? What were you thinking! You could've died!"

   "That's kind of the whole point."

   "Wait, you try to commit suicide?!"

   "Shhh..." I put the orange slice in his mouth. "Nobody knows. Keep it to yourself."

   "But— How are you not dead."

   "After I died and came back here again I got thicker skin. Watch this." I stand up and punch the wall. Maybe a little too hard, I make a hole.

   "Woah..."

   "Fuck that hurt!" I shake my hand. "But yeah, I can do that now. So I don't know how I'm gonna die. After I jumped I passed out and wake up 2 hours later confusedly."

   Tony from the other side of the wall puts his face on the hole. "(Y/n)! You ruined my room's wall?!"

   "Oh shit. Ugh, I'll fix it!" I put my face there too and we speak through the hole.

   "I know you've been having fun with your power from death but come on."

   "I'm really sorry I'll do your dishes."

   Tony looks at me angrily, then shrugs. "Fine, now let's go to the meeting room then."

   "Okay... sorry..."

   I look back at Scott and we laugh. Then the two of us head to the meeting room, regarding 'TIME HEIST'.

   I sit down next to Thor and yawn.

   "Okay, so the how works." Captain says, "Now we're gotta figure out the when, and the where."

   And I sleep on Thor's shoulder.

   It's comfy...

   ..."Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?"

   God's as a fluffy bed is comfy...

   "Are they asleep?" Nat's voice...

   "No, no. Pretty sure they're dead." Rhode's voice...

   "(Y/n)! Thor!" I flinch at Tony's voice. Both of us sit straight awkwardly looking around. Tony rolls his eyes.

   "Sorry... where were we?" I ask.

   "We want to know what Thor knows about the Aether." Cap says.

   Thor gets up, stretches, and looks around.

   "Uh, where to start. Um, the Aether, first it's not a stone. Someone called it a stone before." He points at confused Cap. "It's more of a kind of an angry sludge sort of a thing, so someone's gonna need to amend that and stop saying that." He drops some eyedrops. I try not to smile out.

   "Here's an interesting story though, about the Aether. My grandfather, many years ago, had to hide the stone..."

   He still calls it the stone. Oh Thor you goof.

   "...from the dark elves. Owww~"

   I try to hold my laugh, Tony messes up my hair for not taking this seriously.

   "Scary beings, so Jane, actually, oh there she is." He puts her picture up on the screen.

   "Ugh she's so pretty it should be illegal," I say.

   Thor points his finger at me with a smile. "Agreed. Yeah so Jane's uh... was, was an old flame of mine. Uh you know, she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time and— and the Aether stuck itself inside of her, and she became very, very sick..."

He's basically explaining Thor The Dark World at this point. Every one of us looks at each other weirdly and I am having a good time feeling like I'm watching a movie.

"Alright, Thor stop, quick summary please wrong world kiddo." Tony taps my back.

"Oh C'mon let Thor continue, I'm enjoying this. Let me get my popcorn."

"When did you even get that?" Tony asks me and sighs.

"Anyway, I'll continue. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from, and ugh, we had to try and fix her."

Scott is vibing it, or at least try to.

"We— we were dating at the time you see, I got to, I got to introduce her to my mother... who's dead... um."

My smile drops along with his.

"Oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so..."

Bruce tries to help. "Yes, these things happen, though."

"My boyfriend's dead too, so." I eat my popcorn sadly.

"You know nothing lasts forever, the only thing that—"

"Won't you sit down?" Tony comes into rescue before Thor starts crying again, and if he does I will too. "(Y/n), I'm counting on you now. Give me all the fangirl shit."

"Well alright then..." Time to be a useful potato. "Aether, Jane's our best chance. We'll have to go to Asgard, because that thing on its own without an embodiment is hard to capture. One-off the list."

I write down Asgard on the hologram.

"Now, the orbs. On planet Morag, we should go before quill gets his hand on it. Soul stone is on planet Vormir, and that shit is complicated as hell, we might need to talk."

"Slow down honey," Natasha told me, she's listing everything down.

"The time stone—" I continue.

"Is with Strange?" Tony asks.

"If you go back in time then no, it's probably with the ancient one."

"And who is that?" Rhode asks.

"She is Doctor Strange's mentor, and is someone that if were still alive could kick Thanos' ass easily. We will only have like 15 minutes movie."

"Trust me it's best to just stay confused at things she says," Tony tells everyone. Scott takes the advice.

"Just go to the sanctuary. Sullivan Street, Bleecker, it's in Newyork. Now we're left with space stone and mind stone, aka Tesseract and Loki's scepter."

I put everything up on the board.

"Wait, so. If we pick the right time, there will be 3 stones in New York."

"Sir, yes sir," I say. "So, New York: Space, Mind, Time. Asgard: Aether. Space: Power, soul. Done."

"Well, that was quick." Rhode shrugs.

Cap taps my shoulder. "Perfect. All right, we have a plan. Sixth stone, three teams, one shot." We all stare in the same direction epically.

We go back to Tony's cabin and tomorrow we will go back in time.

"Morgan!" I jump into the house.

"(Y/n)!" Morgan says excitedly and runs towards me for a hug. "I missed you like 2000!"

"Aww, I've missed you too honey. Hey Pep." I say hi to Pepper.

"You eaten anything yet?" She asks with care.

"Yeah, had some cheeseburgers on the way back here."

"I want some too." Morgan pouts.

"I bought one for you too."

"I'm going to put this in the fridge and eat it tomorrow." She grabs the bag and runs off. I look back to see Tony hugging Pepper, whispering something.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

"We're just... I was just thinking that it's a bad idea that you are going back in time tomorrow with us." Tony says.

"You already made the suit for me and everything, and we have enough Pym particles for me too."

"Yeah but it's too dangerous. We're just worried." Pepper pats my shoulder.

"I got this. I'm stronger and faster, still stupid but other than that I'll be a great help." I beg Tony. "Please, this is my chance to bring Peter back, I need to go to the past with you."

Tony stays in silence for a bit. "I can't afford to lose both of you."

"You won't," I say.

"Fine. But follow everything I tell you too since you're coming to 2012 with me. Alright?" I nod back repeatedly. "Okay, now can you tug Morgan to bed. I have to record something."

"Record what?"

"Something for just in case." He smiles at me, it hides sadness.

"Alright... Morgan, c'mon, let's come to bed!" I shout, we both go into her bedroom and I tuck her warm.

"You and daddy are going somewhere tomorrow?" She asks.

"Yes, honey." I tuck her hair behind her little ears.

"Where to?"

"Hm," I smile. "Somewhere that would bring everyone we lost back."

"You can do that?"

"We could do it. If we're together."

Morgan hugs her doll. "Can you please watch out daddy for me? Mummy has been pretty stressed about him lately."

"Of course," I say and laugh. "Your mum has always been worrying about your dad, ever since you were not even born. But yes, I'll keep my eye on bearded Stark for you little Stark." I lay my head on her bed.

I'm scared of tomorrow, yet at the same time, I have the purpose for the first time in five years. To get everyone back, to get Peter back.

"(Y/n)." Morgan calls me.

"Yes?"

"You look concerned."

"I am, a little bit."

"I don't know if this is much help, but I kind of lied to you." She says.

"Lied to me? About what?"

"I told you I loved you 20, but I was joking. So tomorrow is going to be okay because I love you and daddy 3000." She smiles at me, then slowly falling asleep.

I look at her with a soft smile, then a tiny drop of tear.

Come what may.
