The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 83: A Bigger Brain

Warnings: Fluff! Angst! Language!

For the next couple of days, Steve, Nat and Scott worked on their plan ready to talk to Tony. Steve knew they needed to have their plan more or less sorted before going to Stark, or at least as much as they could with their limited knowledge of quantum physics.

So far their plan was to use the quantum realm to go back in time to retrieve the stones, bring them back to the present day and snap their own fingers to bring everyone else back. It sounded simple enough but Steve knew it was anything but.

As Steve drove to the cabin he kept glancing in the rear-view mirror, watching as JJ and Scott talked animatedly in the back seat. JJ's giggles echoed in the car as Scott told him an outlandish ant-man story. As he watched his mind instantly went to you, if this plan worked you'd be back, JJ would have a mom again. That alone was enough to convince Steve this was the right idea.

Just before midday, Steve pulled up outside of Tony's lakeside cabin, as he got out to open JJ's door he spotted Tony carrying Morgan up to the cabin. He sees Tony's step falter as he spots Scott and Nat get out of the car. He gives a small nod of greeting before turning and heading inside the house.

"Daddy, can I go?" JJ says looking up at Steve.

"yeah go ahead" Steve nods before calling out to JJ as he ran towards the house "no running!"

Steve let out a sigh as he watched JJ catch up with Tony and Morgan, Tony gently directing the two kids to head inside. Steve slowly walks up the steps to the porch to meet Tony.

"I didn't realise we had more people joining us for lunch" Tony comments nodding over to Nat and Scott.

"we're here for more than just PB and Js," Nat says crossing her arms over her chest.

"I'm guessing it has something to do with this one rising from the dead" Tony comments nodding over to Scott.

"Well, I've um not been dead... just trapped" Scott stutters nervously.

"I'm all ears," Tony says sitting down in one of the deck chairs.

"um well when Thanos happened I was in this thing called the quantum realm, have you heard of the quantum realm?" Scott asks rubbing his hands together nervously.

"of course," Tony says casually, shrugging his shoulders.

"well my- my team, they were supposed to pull me out but didn't because they got snapped away so I got stuck in there until a couple of days ago, I don't know how I got out but I did" Scott continues, Tony just humming along as he nodded his head "but I was only there for like 5 hours, not five years so I like travelled through time"

Tony arches a brow at this before glancing over at Steve and Nat "we were hoping maybe we could use the quantum realm to bring everyone back and reverse the snap" Steve explains.

"yeah- yeah so like we use the realm to go back in time and get the stone and use them to snap everyone back!" Scott exclaims.

Silence falls between the four of them, everyone waiting for Tony's response. Steve watched as Tony rubbed his chin deep in thought before glancing inside the cabin where he could see Morgan and JJ laughing as they ate their lunch.

"Tony" Steve started slowly.

"I need a drink, you guys want a drink? OJ?" Tony says abruptly standing up from his chair and walking inside.

Steve sighs watching him go before glancing over at Nat who was biting her lip nervously.

"is that a good thing? Like is he gonna help?" Scott stammers trying to watch Tony through the window.
