Whatever It Takes

Third Person POV

• Meanwhile Thea was returning the infinity stones •

Steve Rodgers was about to go back and return the stones. He checked in the case, "Where'd they go?"

"What are you talking about?" Bruce asked.

"The stones," Steven went through all the cases. "They're gone!"

"Not gone," Strange appeared in their conversation. "Returned. I had someone else do it."

"Why? Who was it?" He asked.

"None of your business, Independence Day," Strange rolled his eyes. "All I can tell you is that you will not be time traveling today. Mainly because you have a daughter and my apprentice has already taken all the things you need to do so."

"Why?"

"I think we both know why."

Thea's POV
"So now what do we need to do?"

Strange took off his arm thing, and as I was about to he stopped me, "No, you're going to need that later." He handed me his. "I have one more for her to take back in time. Only use it then. You have enough, but you'll only need it when you get her."

"Who?" I asked.

"Well, we're taking the stones back to different places in the universe. Some will go in different places, some will not. It all depends."

"So which Stone are we giving up first?" I asked.

~~~

"Hey. It's Shuri, right?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am," she smiled. "What do you need? Some technical difficulties with projects?"

"No, actually. I wanted to know if you had Vision by chance."

"We do," she nodded. "Are you guys wanting him back?"

"Yes, please," I answered.

"Okie, let me go get him." She left for a few seconds, then came back pulling the robot behind her. "Here ya go. A bit rusted, but I think it'll do."

"Thank you, princess," I bowed. I grabbed the hand from her and pulled him closer to me. I took out the stone from my pocket.

"Wait how do you have that?"

"Eh, don't worry about it," I shrugged it off. I placed it in his forehead like it had been before. His color returned and his eyes blinked a few times.

He sat up, "Wanda? Where's Wanda?"

"She's waiting for you at S.H.I.E.L.D," I told him.

"Thank you," he spoke to me. He ran out pretty fast.

~~~

"Here ya go, Loki," I held out the Tesseract. "All yours."

"There's a trick in this, isn't it?"

"Nope, no trick," I placed it in his hand. "I trust you with it because you haven't done wrong with it so far."

"Okay, thank you."

"Yeah, don't sweat it."

~~~

"Dr. Strange," I bowed and held out the time stone, "I know present you the emerald of righteousness. Use it well."

"Oh shut up," he chuckled. "Just give me it," he took it from my hand and placed t back in his cape thing.

"Now, where to next?" I clapped my hands.
