[Cut to Gabrielle and Tony in New Jersey, 1970.]

OUR WATCHER INFORMANT, STAN LEE (1922-2018 R.I.P): [Driving past Gabrielle and Tony] Hey, man! Make love, not war!

"There's that guy again!" Clint exclaims.

"Who do you think he is?" Peter asks.

"Maybe he is..." Mantis begins, "the Creator."

Everyone stares at her before all saying, "Nah."

GABRIELLE BARNES: God, the 70s.

TONY STARK: Never thought I would be here again.

GABRIELLE BARNES: Never thought I would be here, period.

TONY STARK: Did you never go on a mission in the 70s?

GABRIELLE BARNES: [gives him a look] How old do you think I am?

"How old do you think I am?" Gabbs asks at the same time as her on-screen self. She glares at the screen.

"Uh, I don't know," Tony says. "I always thought you were born in the 50s or 60s."

Gabbs bursts out laughing. "I'm not that old, Stark. I was born in 80." The Avengers look at her in shock.

"So you're... you're not-" Clint tries to come up with something to say.

"I'm not as old as these grandpas." Gabbs points to Steve and Bucky.

"Hey!" Bucky exclaims.

"Ah, my mistake," Gabbs says. "One grandpa." She points to Steve.

"You're right," Nat says. "Steve is a grandpa." The Avengers nod in agreement.

"Bucky's older than me!" Steve exclaims.

"Only on paper," Bucky smirks. Steve scowls.

TONY STARK: I don't know, I just assumed — never mind. Where would they hide the Tesseract?

GABRIELLE BARNES: Either in plain sight or the basement.

TONY STARK: 10 bucks says you're wrong.

"Bad idea." Bucky shakes his head.

"So much money lost," T'Challa says sadly.

GABRIELLE BARNES: You don't want to bet with me.

TONY STARK: Why not?

GABRIELLE BARNES: [grinning] I always win.

"It's true!" Bucky says, exasperated. "I've lost so much money to you!"

"Me too!" Shuri says in agreement. Gabbs smiles smugly.

[Gabrielle walks into the elevator and sees there is another lady in there. She nods her head at her politely.]

TONY STARK: [leaving the elevator] Good luck on your mission, uh, Sergeant.

GABRIELLE BARNES: [waiting for another floor, no accent] Good luck with your project, doctor.

ELEVATOR LADY: You're new here?

GABRIELLE BARNES: [no accent] You can say that.

"Kind of, I guess," Gabbs shrugs.

[Cut to Tony in what seems to be a lab area and he is looking for the tesseract]

TONY STARK: [Grabbing Tesseract] Gotcha. Back in the game.

HOWARD STARK: Arnim, you in there? Arnim? Hey! Door's this way, pal.

"Holy shit," Tony breathes.
