*Song: ...Ready for It? by Taylor Swift*
Nat and I sat at the table at a conference with the others. It was the same thing every single time. This happened here and this there. Oh and Clint is now murdering but there is no breakthrough on correcting the snap.
The snap. The day that ruined everything was five years ago. Since then, Kylo returned my crystal but I didn't see him only Tony did. Nat and I have started a team to find any information about the stones and ways to find them or better yet restore them. Steve created a support group for those affected by the snap, he tries to get Nat and me to go but we all know that's not happening. Oh and finally we now have Morgan. About a year after the snap, Pepper and Tony welcoming my baby sister, Morgan. She's four now. The team doesn't know about her though because Tony doesn't talk to them anymore. It hurts seeing Morgan knowing what I lost but even though it hurts she somehow healed me. She's the sunshine we all needed.
This meeting was getting boring. It was the same thing every time and I was done. Once everyone logged off except for Rhodey and Rocket I left. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up ignoring all the looks and left for my room.
I should have known, Rocket would reach out since he saw me storm out. The incoming video call was nothing new with us. Seemingly through the snap, I made a new best friend.
I answered the call and allowed the holographic raccoon to take up space in my room.
"Not now Rocket. I am not in the mood for your sarcastic comments."
"Well someone needs to keep your ass in check. You are losing your temper more and more. AND on top of it you have been wearing the same cloths over and over again."
"Okay first of all I am not. I just own the same thing in multiples and two I guess my temper has gotten worse," I sigh and sit on my bed.
He sighs knowing I have hit my point and changes the subject. "Have you seen Thor lately."
"Of course I did my monthly visit a few days ago. He isn't good. God, Rocket you wouldn't even recognize him. I am scared for him. His people need him and he just isn't him."
"I know but at least he know ones person is there for him."
"Yeah,yeah well I need to go. Lunch with the parents and all."
"Well tell metal head, I going to take his suit and sell it one day."
I laughed before saying, "I am sure he will love to hear the build-a-bear is looking to steal from him."
With that, the hologram cut out and I grabbed my jacket to leave.

I was carrying out a tray of drinks and snacks with one hand and Morgan in my other. I have Morgan push the door open and walk out only to be met with Tony, Nat, Steve, and Lang.
"Hey dad, what cha talking about?"
I set the drinks down and tickle Morgan as I stand back up. Her giggle fills me with happiness. I look upon the others and notice the grave look on everyone's face.
"Nothing honey," Tony states at the same time Lang and Steve answer, "time heist."
My jaw drops and I look at Nat to confirm my suspicions. She nods confirming my thoughts. Holy shit. I place Morgan down and she runs back inside to Pepper.
"We have to take a stand," Nat says which I answered, "I agree." Tony gave me a look of betrayal then said, "We did stand. And yet here we are." We all shared a glance at one another thinking of the correct thing to say. Lang finally broke the silence.
