The Royal Asgardian

Chapter 119

I fly me and Steve down from the building with the scepter.

Tony sounding defeated "Cap..."

We turn around to see Tony and Scott sitting in a broken car.

Tony continues "Sorry, buddy. We got a problem."

Scott showing his anxiety "Huh. Yeah, we do."

Tony also not handling it well "Well, what are we gonna do now? - You know what, give me a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with a Hulk."

Scott gives us the You said this talk "You said that we had one shot. This, this was our shot. We shot it. It's shot. Six stones or nothing. Six stones or nothing."

Tony points to Scott "You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself."

Scott fights back "You're repeating yourself. You're repeating yourself. - No! - Come on. You never wanted a time heist, you went on board with the time heist..."

I look to Steve. He is contemplating. I look back at the two.

Tony stands up to Scott. "I dropped the ball."

Scott steps up a little. "You ruined the time heist."

Tony looks intense "Is that what I did?"

Scott yells "Yeah!"

"Enough! Children! Babies! Girls! This cat fight isn't helping!" I yell at the two.

Steve speaks calmly. "Are there any other options with the Tesseract?"

Scott shakes his head "No, no, no. There's no other options. There's no do-overs. We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle left. Each. That's it, alright? We use that... Bye, bye. You're not going home."

Steve looks at me "Yeah, well if we don't try, then no one else is going home, either."

Tony takes a second. "I got it. There's another way. To retake the Tesseract and acquire new particles. We'll stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State."

Steve understands "When were they both there?"

Tony answers back "They were there at a...I've a vaguely exact idea."

Steve "How vague?"

Scott confused "What are you talking about? Where are we going?"

Tony "I know for a fact they were there..."

Scott looks at me "Who's they? What are we doing?"

I shrug.

Tony walks to Steve "And I know how I know."

Scott waves his hands "Guys, what's up? What is it?"

Tony shrugs  "Well, it looks like we're improvising."

Scott "Right. - What are we improvising?"

Tony looks at Scott "Scott, get this back to the compound." He hands him the scepter. Tony looks back to Steve "Suit up."

Scott continues to babble on to Tony "What's in New Jersey?"

Steve walks up to me. "I'm sorry."

"Promise me please you'll make it back to me?" I touch his face.

"I'll always come back to you." He kisses me and walks a few feet away from me.

Tony walks up to steve. He opens his time travel watch.  "0-4, 0-4... - Uhh, 0-7."

Steve repeats "0-7. - Excuse me..."

Tony "1-9-7-0."

Scott Stands next to me as tony and Steve stand a few feet away. "Are you sure? - Cap. Captain. Steve, sorry, America. Rogers. Look, if you do this, and this doesn't work, you're not coming back. What about Avinna? Don't you want to marry her?"

I smack Scott.

Tony Not having it "Thanks for the pep talk, pissant." He looks To Steve "You trust me?"

Steve nods "I do."

Tony "Your call."

Steve looks to me. I smile supportingly. "Here we go."
