Athena walked outside and saw Scott sitting on the bench eating a taco.

"What are you doing?" She asked confused. "You didn't even get all of it in."

"Hey, I'm not the best at making tacos, alright?" He defended himself "what are you doing?"

"Waiting for them?" She pointed up as the guardians' ship came down from the sky.

Nebula walked up as Athena started walking with her, smiling as Nebula said "Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone."

Athena chuckled as she continued to walk with the girl.

Athena raised her eyebrows as she saw... Thor walk into the room; drinking a beer with his long locks grown out once again and a... abnormally large belly.

Athena shook her head before walking into the room where Scott was.

"Suits looking good." She smiled as she walked over and stood beside Rhodey.

"Hey, hey, hey, easy pal." Scott said as he grabbed Banners hand which had the particles in it.

"I'm being very careful." Banner assures.

"No, you're being very—"

"I'm being careful!"

"These are pym paticles, alright? And ever since hank pym got snapped out of exsistance, this is it. This is what we have. We're not making any more." He said, Rhodey quietly told him to calm down causing Scott so sigh "sorry, we've got enough for one round trip each, that's it. No do-overs. Plus, two test runs." Scott placed the particle in his suit and instantly went small and then big again. "One test run."

"Alright, I'm not ready for this." Scott shook his head.

"I'm game" Athena turned around when she heard Clint's voice. "I'll do it."

"Clint!" She squealed before turning around and wrapping her arms around him. He chuckled quietly and hugged back "I missed you, too, Thea."

Clint got into his suit as Hulk told him all the details.

"Hold up, if we can do this—" Rhodey started "cant we just find baby Thanos and ..." he made a gesture as if he were to kill Thanos causing Banner to scrunch up his face.

"First of all, that's horrible!"

"It's Thanos!" Rhodes defended himself.

"And secondly, time doesn't work that way." He stated "changing the past doesn't change the future."

"Isn't that what we're doing?" Athena asked.

"No," Nebula shook her head.

"We go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them. Thanos doesn't have the stones!" Scott explained. "Problem solved!"

Athena raised her eyebrows and gestures over to him with a smirk.

"That's not how it works!" Nebula whispered.
