50 | a time heist?

"I actually went to a prom" Athena chuckled as she told Natasha about her experience at homecoming.

"Are you serious?" The partially-red heads eyes widened. "Do you have a photo?"

"Yeah," Athena chuckled before pulling out her phone and showing her a photo of her and Pepper on the night when she was in her golden dress.

"Oh, my god, Thea." Natasha said with wide eyes "you look absolutely stunning."

"Thanks, Nat." Athena smiled as she regained her phone.

"So, who's the lucky guy?" The woman smirked causing Athena's smile to fade.

"Uh, well I actually went with my close friend, Ned but I ditched it straight away because Peter needed my help." She explained, "and a lot has happened between us two."

"Tell me it all." Nat demanded causing the girl to chuckle lightly.

"Well... you remember that spider-guy from the fight in Berlin?" She asked causing Nat to nod "well, that's Peter. Tony sent me to find him, so I did. Then when tony got me out of the fugitive thing I went to school with Peter. We were friends for a while until we kissed and yeah. Now, we're dating.... but the snap...."

"Oh, Thea." Natasha wrapped an arm around the girl as she nuzzled her head into her shoulder and let a tear fall "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be." Athena pulled back and sniffed her nose. "We can't change the past, right?"

"Scott." Athena said as she watched the older man pace around the room. "You okay?"

"Yeah," he placed his hands on his head. "Have any of you guys studied quantum physics?"

"Only in mid conversation" Natasha shook her head.

"Alright, So..." Scott started "two years ago... right before Thanos, I was in a place called the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is like it's own microscopic universe, to get in there, you have to be incredibly small. Hope, she's my Uh... she was my... she was supposed to pull me out and then, Thanos happened and I got stuck in there."

"Sorry, that must of been a very long year." Nat said softly.

"No, that's just it..." Scott said causing Athena to furrow her brows "it wasn't. For me it was five hours. See the rules of the Quantun Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable... is that anybodies sandwich? I'm starving."

"That was mine," Athena pouted her lip whilst the man took a large bite out of the sandwich.

"Scott," Steve said, grabbing everyone's attention again "what are you talking about?"

"So.." he started up again breathlessly "what I'm saying is... time works differently in the quantum realm. The only problem is, right now, we don't have a way to navigate it. But what if we did? I can't stop thinking about it, what if we could somehow control the chaos, and we could navigate it? What if there was a way we could enter the quantum realm at a certain point in time, but exit at another point in time? Like... like before Thanos."
