Third POV -

Rdj: "Clearly, Captain America wasn't born here, right?"

Evans: "Something like that."

Sebastian: "Wow, it was just like yesterday when we were filming Captain America: The First Avenger."

Rdj: "This place is huge; where would you hide a Tesseract?"

Evans: "In plain sight."

Sebastian: "Down there, are you sure?"

Evans: "Very much."

Rdj: "Come on, I have an idea."

Wearing their military uniforms, the three actors moved towards the underground building, trying not to look suspicious as they blended in with everyone else. Sebastian depressed the down arrow and waited for the elevator doors to open as Downey held the door open. As Evans entered, the two doors opened, revealing a woman with a stack of files who was staring up at the three guys as they were examining one another, curious as to what they were doing. Evans waited outside for their level to come, while Sebastian shoved Downey inside. The doors parted once more, allowing Downey to exit in search for the Tesseract.

Rdj: "Good luck on your mission, boys."

Sebastian: "Good luck on your project, sir."

Agent: "You both are new here?"

Evans: "Not really, no."

Downey sprinted along the isles in search of a box big enough to hold the stone. Even more helpful to him were the Edith glasses, which a few minutes earlier scanned every metal box to see exactly what was inside, and still nothing. When Downey realised he had missed a section, he was on the verge of giving up and chose to take another path. The glasses exploded in a matter of seconds, signalling that the stone was within the metal container.

Rdj: "Took you awhile."

Pulling out a metal case, he set it aside while Downey used his ironman hand to cut open the box and reveal the blue Tesseract shining like the night sky. With caution to avoid dropping the stone, he carefully took it out of the case and placed it inside the metal briefcase.

Howard: "Hello, who's in there? Hey!, The door is this way."

Rdj: "Oh yeah, that's right, my bad."

Howard: "Do I know you?"

Rdj: "No, sir, I'm a visitor."

Howard: "You got a name."

Rdj: "Robert... Y/l/n"

Howard: "Well, I'm Howard Stark, so what are you doing down here?"

Rdj: "Uh!, I just had to check a few things out."

Howard: "Nice, follow me out; you look like you lost your way."

Rdj: "Yes, yes, I have. Thank you, Mr. Stark."

Howard: "Don't forget your briefcase."

Evans: "Seb, I think it's this way."

Sebastian: "What are we looking for again?"

Evans: "The pym particles"

Sebastian: "Oh yeah."

Evans: "Watch the door; I'll get the pym particles, and we'll be out of here in no time."

Sebastian: "You got it, Cap."

Sebastian watched everyone go through the doors while he stood in front with his arms crossed. Chris cautiously peered around the facility, careful not to break anything. He looked through each test tube, observing the various compounds, all of which were crimson in colour. Chris searched everywhere but was unable to find anything until he came upon a glass case containing carefully arranged pym particles, of which there were only four remaining on the stand. Chris unzipped the glass door, took out the final four, stuffed them into his pocket, and snapped his jacket shut.

Rdj: "Who are the flowers for? You've got a date?"

Howard: "My wife is expecting me. I spend way too much time in the office."

Rdj: "Well, you know what they say: work before family, right?"

Howard: "Exactly, Mr. Y/l/n, do you have any children?"

Rdj: "I have four."

Howard: "Is that so? It must be difficult at times."

Rdj: "Not at all. I love each one with all my heart."

Reentering the open, Howard and Downey proceeded to the top floor. As they crossed the street and stood on the sidewalk, talking to each other, Sebastian and Chris waited for Downey to arrive so they could all return to the property safely.

Howard: "Can I ask you a question?"

Rdj: "of course."

Howard: "When your kids were born, were you nervous?"

Rdj: "wildly"

Howard: "Did you feel qualified, like you had an idea how to successfully operate that thing?"

Rdj: "I literally pieced it together as I went along; I thought about what my dad did."

Howard: "My old man, he never met a problem he couldn't solve with a belt."

Rdj: "I thought my dad was tough on me, but I just remember the good stuff."

Howard: "My kids are not even here yet, and I know I'm going to try my best."

Rdj: "That's all you can do."

Howard: "Good to meet you, Y/l/n."

Rdj: "Yeah, Howard, everything is going to be okay. Always look on the positive side; that's what my daughter Y/n always taught me."

Howard: "She's a smart kid."

Rdj: "She sure is."

While Howard approached Javis, giving him the flowers and seeing Downey leave with a smile on his face, Downey turned back to Sebastian and Chris.

Howard: "Jarvis, have we ever met that guy?"

Jarvis: "You meet a lot of people, sir."

Howard: "He just seems very familiar."

Sebastian: "Did you get the stone?"

Rdj: "Did I get the stone? Of course I got the stone."

Evans: "We got the pym particles."

Rdj: "See, I told you, I wasn't wrong after all."

Sebastian: "Who were you speaking to?"

Rdj: "Just an old friend."

Evans: "Nice, ready to leave this place."

Rdj: "absolutely!"

Going somewhere where no one could see them, the three of them left the area. They opened the panel, hit a few keys, and obtained the set period of time they had to return to. Together with the replacement of their helmets, their time-machine outfits reappear over their garments. As they all pressed the pym particles, the quantum portal materialised beneath them, shrinking the actors into it and making the three of them vanish within seconds.
