Wait For It

River was now in the car with Tony.

She had said bye to Morgan and Pepper, and they were headed off to the compound.

She didn't exactly want to hope for the best all of a sudden, but how could she not hope? They had an idea that would hopefully get them all back. River could have Harry, MJ and Peter back!

River just wanted to see them back, that was it, then maybe she could be happy.

And speak of the compound, there they were, with what seemed like only a second. River could see a figure standing right outside the doors of it. As Tony pulled over, she realized it was Steve.

Tony rolled down the window, "Why the long face? Let me guess: He turned into a baby." River wasn't gonna question how he had any idea. "Among other things, yeah. What are you doing here?" Steve asked, furrowing his brows as he saw River too.

Both the Stark and the May got out of the car, walking around the back.

"That's the EPR Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky. Dangerous. Somebody should've cautioned you against it." Tony ignored Steve's question.

"You did."

"Oh, did We? Thank God we're here. Regardless, I fixed it. A fully functioning Time-Space GPS. We just want peace. Turns out, resentment is corrosive, and I hate it." Tony told him.

"Me too."

"We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priorities: Bring back what we lost? I hope, yes. Keep what I got? I have to, at all costs. And... maybe not die trying will be nice." Tony answered, both looked at River, making her sigh.

"I just want Harry, MJ and Peter back. And yeah, maybe not die trying would be great."

Steve nodded, "Sounds like a deal."

Tony opened the trunk, pulling out the shield. "Tony..." Steve trailed off. "Why? He made it for you." He referred to Howard. "Plus, honestly we have to get it out of the garage before Morgan takes it sledding." River added, chuckling to herself.

"Thank you, Tony." Steve thanked, fitting his arm into the shield.

"Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team." Tony told him. River hesitated, "...We are getting the whole team, yeah?"

"We're working on that right now." Her dad replied, looking right at her.

"It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're only geniuses on Earth, pals." Rocket said to Tony and River.

"Oh, I'm not a genius anywhere." River responded, walking away.

After a little bit, River noticed Clint randomly popped up. And Natasha ran over to him.

And even though it was just the start, River had a feeling it would be a hell of a ride to get to the end of it.

Can I just say that listening to Who lives, who dies, who tells your story, while looking at a photo of River and Harry just fits.

The whole Hamilton soundtrack can actually go with the Brooklyn series.

Okay, bye!
