DIANA WOKE UP the next day to her doorbell blaring in her ears. In her sleep-muddled brain, she managed to pull a robe on and make it to the front door. When she opened the door, she barely processed that it was Nat, Steve and —

"Scott?"

She opened up the door wider, gesturing for them to come in and they did. The three came in single file, giving her a range of smiles and a nod of the head to thank her for the act. Her eyes never came off Scott. Diana looked to Nat, whose red hair had grown back in, giving her a two-toned look with the blonde at the bottom.

The woman just shrugged. They didn't waste time on getting comfortable and because Diana was too busy gawking over Scott's presence, Steve had to speak up.

"Scott shrunk himself so small, that he ended up in a place called the quantum realm," Steve explained, "that was in twenty eighteen right before Thanos snapped his fingers, but to him, it only felt like five hours."

Diana looked over at Scott and frowned.

"That sounds horrible, I'm so sorry," Diana said, "but what does this mean for us, I meant there's a reason you guys came here."

"We think there's a way that can-"

"I'm in."

"What?" Steve asked, furrowing his eyebrows, "you don't know the plan, we could've offered to sacrifice you to Thanos' ghost."

"Then I'd be dying for a good cause," Diana crossed her arms over her chest, " we owe it to everyone on this planet, alive or not, to try every avenue to bring everyone back."

Steve seemed to huff at that but nodded nonetheless.

"Tony said no, but we still can ask Bruce, you and he had a good friendship, you think you can convince him?"

"I think he would say yes, or I can make him say it, at least, but he is his own person." Diana stood up, "I'm going to get ready and then text Charlie, wait for me here."

If she thought she set a record yesterday for getting ready, this broke a new one. She was in clean clothes so fast, she was sure it was the ghost of Pietro possessing her body, she brushed her teeth and threw her hair up, not wanting to deal with it. She was hopping out of her bedroom as she pulled her red converse on. Natasha had an amused smile on her face as they began to head for the door.
