Chapter 62: A Second Chance

(The Next Day)

Y/N's POV

So it's the next day and I'm trying to do laundry but the washer and dryer isn't working.

Y/N: Ugh....

Peggy: What's wrong?

I look behind me and see Peggy standing there with the clothes basket.

Y/N: The washer and dryer isn't working.

Peggy: What? We just got them last year.

Y/N: I know.

Peggy: What are we gonna do?

Y/N: We could go to the compound.

Peggy: Wow.

Y/N: What?

Peggy: You haven't been inside the compound since we left the avengers.

Y/N: Yes I have.

She gives me a look.

Y/N: Okay, okay. You have a point.

Peggy: What's the real reason your going to the compound?

Y/N: Steve called me asked if I'd come in. He wants to talk to me.

Peggy: Well I'll call the babysitter then.

Y/N: You're gonna go to?

Peggy: Of course. Besides, Kate loves Laura.

Y/N: You're right about that.

After this, Peggy and I wait for the babysitter.

Once she comes, Peggy and I then head to the compound.

(Thirty Minutes Later)

Once Peggy and I arrive we go see Steve and Natasha.

I lean against the doorway.

Y/N: I'd offer to cook dinner, but Natasha seems miserable enough.

Steve and Natasha looks at us.

Steve looks at the clothes basket.

Steve: Here to do laundry.

Y/N: Peggy is. I came to see my friends. And to talk to you.

Natasha: Well your friends are fine.

After a few minutes of talking, an alarm starts going off.

Natasha then swipes and brings up the security footage.

???: Uh, hi, hi. Uh, anybody home? This is uh Scott Lang.

I'm shocked to see that it's Scott.

Scott: We met a few years ago at the airport...in Germany? I was the guy that got really big. I had a mask on. You wouldn't recognize me.

Steve: Is this an old message?

Natasha: No, it's the front gate.

Scott: I really need to talk to you guys.

Then we bring Scott inside and he starts muttering to himself and pacing.

Y/N: Scott, are you okay?

Scott: Yeah, yeah, it's just...have any of you ever studied quantum physics?

We all look at each other in confusion.

Natasha: Only to make conversation.

Scott then tells us that he was in a place called the quantum realm before Thanos showed up.

Peggy: I'm sorry. That must've been a very long five years.

Scott: Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was five hours.

Scott then goes on to say that they're may be a way to control the quantum realm to travel through time before Thanos wiped half the universe.

Steve: Wait, are you talking about a time machine?

Scott: No, no of course, not a time machine. Well yeah I guess a time machine. I know it's crazy.

Natasha: Scott, Steve and I get emails from a talking raccoon. So nothing sounds crazy to me.

Steve looks at me.

Steve: Y/N, could you do that? Build a time machine.

I look down.

Steve: Y/N.

I look up at Steve.

Steve: Can you?

Y/N: Well I...

Natasha: Are you okay?

Y/N: I just....I need a minute.

I then walk out of the room to clear my head.

(Five Minutes Later)

I'm now standing on the balcony thinking about time travel.

I just didn't wanna get my hopes up, my nightmares have been bad and if I were to fail then I fear what they'd be.

I rub the back off my neck as I sigh and look up at the sky.

Steve: Something on your mind?

I turn and see Steve leaning against the doorway.

Y/N: That obvious?

Steve: Little bit.

He comes over and joins me.

Y/N: How'd we get to this point, Steve?

Steve: I ask myself that question everyday.

Y/N: I try to tell myself that everything is okay.

Steve: But you'd be lying if you said it allowed.

Y/N: Yeah.

Steve: I know how you feel.

Y/N: I've been having nightmares.

Steve: Nightmares?

Y/N: I see Thanos snapping his fingers. I see everyone we love turn to dust. Every single night for the last five years that's all I've seen when I close my eyes.

Steve: Wow. I'm sorry, Y/N.

Y/N: That's why this...this...Scott and the quantum realm. I don't wanna get my get my hopes up.

Steve: But what if it works?

Y/N: I don't...

I look back up at the sky.

Steve: Y/N...If this works we could bring everyone back.

I look back at Steve.

Y/N: Okay. Okay.

Steve: So you're saying you can do it? You could build a time machine?

Y/N: I'm not saying I can. But theoretically, yeah I could.

Steve: What would you need?

Y/N: For starters. I'd need a really big brain.

Steve and I then walk back to the others.

Scott: Well?

Y/N: We need to go see an old friend.

Scott: Who?

Y/N: Tony Stark.
