I watch as Clint's face goes slack as Nat and I step into the light with us holding umbrellas to keep us from the rain. We stare at each other. Clint hasn't seen us in years. We haven't seen what he's become.
"You shouldn't be here" Clint states.
"Neither should you" I reply.
"I've got a job to do"
"That's what you're calling this?" Nat deadpans as I walk closer to him and he stiffens.
"Killing these people isn't going to bring your family back. We found something. A chance, maybe-"
"Don't"
"Don't what?"
"Give me hope"
"I'm just sorry I couldn't give it sooner." Nat says.
"Wait- Lila.. is dead?" I retort as I realize what Nat said. Clint nods as I fling myself into the arms of the father of one of my best friends. Who else out of my friends will I lose?
...
Now, Clint wears the time suit. Scott looks on, sulky. Hulk/Bruce, Rhodey, and Nebula attach the Pym housing.
"Okay, Clint, you might feel a little disoriented when you chronoshift" Hulk/Bruce says.
"Hang on, I've got to ask, if we can do this, why don't we just go find baby Thanos and, you know.." Uncle Rhodey comments making a strangling gesture.
"Uh, one, because that's horrible. And, two, killing baby Thanos doesn't kill adult Thanos. Time doesn't work like that. You can't change the future by changing the past." Hulk/Bruce replies.
"Sure, we can. We take the stones before Thanos gets them, then he doesn't have them. Problem solved." Scott states hopefully.
"That's not how it works.." Nebula rolls her eyes.
"I don't know. That is kind of what I've heard-" Clint furrows his eyebrows.
"Heard from who?"
"Star Trek. Terminator. Bill and Ted's Excellent-" Uncle Rhodey snarks.
"Why does everyone think this? That's not true! If you travel to the past, then that past has become your present, and your former present has become the past, which now can't be changed by your new future." I cut him off.
"Exactly" Nebula replies and I smile at her.
"Excuse me?" Uncle Rhodey asks.
Scott leans over, whispering, "Apparently, Back to the future is bullshit"
"Look, are we doing this or not?" Clint questioned.
