Alessia climbed out of the car with a quiet sigh as she looked at the nice cabin resting by the lake. Her eyes landed on Tony Stark and his daughter, Morgan. After everything that had happened, Alessia was beyond happy that Tony finally had the family he'd always wanted and yet, here they were about to get in the way of the family with an opportunity of a lifetime.

"I just want to thank you, folks, for dropping by. It's not every day one gets to contemplate biting it on an inter-dimensional timescape," Tony says after the five had sat together. Alessia looked from Tony to Steve, Nat and Scott before sighing. "You've got some objections to the plan," Nat spoke up, they had explained the plan to Tony and he wasn't really eager.

"So you're calling it a plan. To me, it sounds like an exotic suicide method. Not to mention, it's impossible," Tony replied with his gaze on Alessia knowing she would be the one to take the final risk. "We know what it sounds like," Scott pointed out, still unsure on where he stands with Tony Stark after their civil war battle a few years ago. "Tony, after what you've seen, is anything really impossible?" Steve asked the genius former Avenger.

"Quantum fluctuation kinda messes with the Planck Scale, which then triggers the Deutsch Proposition, can we agree on that?" Tony explains to them before offering them some tea, Scott and Steve accept while Nat and Alessia decline the offer. "In layman's terms, it means you can cancel your Netflix subscription because you're not coming home," Tony finished off, directing that statement towards Alessia who rolled her eyes.

Scott sat up straight looking at Tony, "I did." Alessia nodded towards Scott trying to ignore the disapproving look that Tony was sending her. "Which was a billion-to-one cosmic fluke. Now you want to pull a-- What are you calling it?" Tony asked incredulously. "A time heist," Scott emphasized. "Oh, of course, a time heist, why didn't we think of this before?" Tony mocked their plan. "Right, because it's a pipe dream. Who are you again?" Tony asked Scott.

Alessia rolled her eyes and sent a small electric shock towards Tony, "He's Ant-Man, Tony and I get that you have something here but... We have a way to bring everyone back... To bring him back." Tony looked at Alessia, he knew who she meant and it pained him to see her hurt but he wasn't gonna agree to the plan when there were too many risks. "Tony, the Stones exist in the past. We could get them and bring them here," Steve spoke up.

"We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back," Nat continued as she rested her hand on Alessia's shoulder. "Or screw it up worse than he already has," Tony pointed out. "I don't believe we would," Steve argued back softly. Tony stares at Steve, a lot of water under their bridge, they had yet to fully forgive one another for what had happened in Siberia. Alessia knew the risks and she would be willing to take the chance; she had nothing to lose.
