Dear Alt-me,
                     I know, not very creative or witty. You would think that a letter written by an alternative version of your future self would have a catchy opening line, huh? The first letter did, but now I'm just going to get this one written before Lachesis has a stoke, if beings such as the Moira can have stokes.

(are the Moira goddesses, or are they something Other? I don't think anyone has a straight answer for that in any reality or universe)

In the first letter we (my teammates for the Time Heist Do-Over) collectively spent the better part of a day writing details of all that is to come, we had it detailed with a multitude of important dates and everything we wished that we had known, it filled ten pages.

Sadly, I guess that was too much for you to know without consequences for the fate of your universe as the Moira arrived here before we could sign it - Isaac, I'm not even slightly sorry to say this but there is indeed such a thing as too much knowledge, so ha, I told you.

Yeah, I know, you're not my Isaac, but mine isn't around for me to laugh at, because of Cadet Steve Rogers who had singlehandedly broke our reality.

Fifty percent of all life in our universe is gone, for the second time.

Snapped out of existence.

Which is what brought us into the past of an alternative universe - to borrow things that no longer exist in my world.

By the time you read this the items will have been returned back to the same moment they were taken, I am the one retuning them, this time.

None of the Snapped left bodies behind nor did any of their souls reach the Underworld, fifty percent of all life in the universe was just gone between one second and the next.

We fixed it once, got everyone back and defeated the one responsible, for a day everything was looking up.

Then somebody made the mistake of letting Cadet Steve Rogers be the one to return the items we had taken from a different world during our first Time Heist to reverse the original Snap, he put them back, but he did not return. He married Peggy Carter, erasing the version of her family that had existed prior to his return to the past and that is only the lesser of changes caused by the star spangled fool.

The Butterfly Effect kicked our arses in a disastrous way, because of one man and his inability to let go of a women he kissed once, decades ago.

We took a chance to try a second Time Heist because not only did the Snapped revert back to being gone (Rogers was heavily involved in the fights against our foe, but he was then an old man in the changed timeline and ultimately it changed the end results - honestly, time travel is bloody confusing), but also in the damaged timeline Kronos has now started piecing himself back together again - impossible as it should be.
