'Cause you brought out the best of me
A part of me I'd never seen
Alice, Steve, Tony, Bruce, and Scott materialized in the middle of a side street, the air thick with the bustling energy of 2012 New York City. As soon as their feet hit the pavement, the chaos of that time came rushing back: the distant sounds of sirens, the screeching of cars, and the hum of a city that hadn't yet seen the words of the war ahead. Alice's heart skipped a beat, remembering how much this place had changed – how much they had changed.
Steve's voice cut through the familiar noise, his voice steady. "All right, we all have our assignments. Two Stones uptown, one Stone, down. Stay low. Keep an eye on the clock."
Alice stood to the side for a moment, glancing around. She could see the familiar shadows of the city, the parts that hadn't been scarred by the war, and the ones that had. The streets were full of life, unaware of what was to come. She knew what she had to do, but a nagging thought clung to the back of her mind: Loki.
For a brief moment, Alice though about finding him. It would be easy enough. She knew his tricks, his charm. She knew how to play his games, how to talk him down from the insanity he had planned. A small part of her even wondered if it would be good to see him again, to face the past with him. But then she shook the thought away. Loki wasn't a part of her life anymore, and she had already accepted that a long time ago.
Her mission was clear, and she couldn't afford any distractions. Besides, there was something far more important waiting for her. Something she'd already promised herself she wouldn't lose again.
With a deep breath, she pushed the thought of Loki aside, focusing on the team. Steve was already taking the lead, his eyes scanning the area. Tony was adjusting his suit, a smirk on his face as always, while Scott looked both excited and nervous. Bruce, on the other hand, seemed to shrink a little as the 2012 Hulk rampaged through the city.
"Feel free to smash a few things along the way," Steve said, giving Bruce a knowing look.
Bruce's hand came up to his face, a look of embarrassment crossing his features. "I think it's gratuitous, but whatever."
Alice let out a quiet laugh, shaking her head. "Well, if anyone deserves to smash things, it's probably you," she teased, her voice light but her eyes sharp. "Just make sure you don't do anything too catastrophic, Bruce. We don't need another timeline getting messed up."
Bruce tore his shirt off, walking over to a car as he lightly punched it, making a small dent, all the while making growling noises.
Steve gave a short nod, taking in their banter but staying focused on the task. "Stay low. We'll cover ground fast. Let's move."
As the team split up to cover their respective areas, Alice's thoughts were momentarily drawn back to Loki, but she immediately pushed them away. She couldn't afford the distraction. Loki would be there, but she had her own fight to win. And this time, it was for something far more important.
