After I change back into my suit, I bring Steve to the old alley with the sceptre.

"There." I point to Tony and Lang who sit in an old car.

"Sorry, buddy, we got a problem." Tony says. Scott scoffs.

"Yeah, we do."

Steve looks at me.

"No tesseract." I say.

Scott gets out of the back seat and paces.

"Well, what are we gonna do now?" Steve asks.

"You know what? Gimme a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with the hulk." Tony says.

"You said that we had one shot. This. This was our shot. We shot it. It's shot. Six stones or nothing. It was six stones or nothing." Scott rambles.

"You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself." Tony says.

"You're repeating yourself. You're repeating yourself." Scott argues.

"Dude. Come on!" Tony groans.

"No. You never wanted a time heist. You weren't on board with the time heist."

"We dropped the ball." Tony says.

"You ruined the time heist." Scott declares.

"Is that what I did?" Tony says sarcastically.

"Are there any other options with the Tesseract?" I interrupt loudly.

"No, no, no. There's no other options. There's no do overs." Scott says and slammed the car door. "We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle left. Each." Scott states.

"That's it all right? We use that, bye-bye, you're not going home."

"Yeah, well, if we don't try... then no one else is going home either." Steve lets out.

"I got it." Tony says and gets out of the old car.

We look at him, confused.

"There's another way. To retake the Tesseract and acquire new particles." He says and walks over to Steve.

"Little stroll down memory lane. Military Installation, Garden State." Tony says.

I can see in Steve's face that he's realized it.

"When were they both there?" Steve asks.

"They were there at a time- I have a vaguely exact idea." Tony replies.

"How vague?" Steve says, growing frustrated.

"What are you taking about? Where are we going?" Scott stutters.

"Not 'we'." I correct.

"I know for a fact they were there." Tony says.

"Who's they? What are we doing?"

"And I know how I know." Tony tells Steve.

"Guys, what is it?" Scott persists.

"Looks like we're improvising." Steve says.

"Scott, you and Y/n/n get this back to the compound." He says and hands him the sceptre.

"Suit up." Tony says. "New Jersey," He says quietly.

"What's in the New Jersey?" Scott asks.

"0-4," Tony says and Steve repeats as he punches it into the gps. "0-7, 1-9-7-0"

"Excuse me." Scott calls out.

"Are you sure?" I ask, and Tony nods.

"Cap, Captain? Steve? Sorry, America. Rodgers. Look, if you do this... and it doesn't work, you're not coming back." Scott warns them.
