The first team, comprised of Tony Stark, Scott Lang, Steve Rogers, and Bruce Banner, traveled back to New York City in 2012 during the Battle of New York. Rogers informed the group that they all know their positions on where the Infinity Stones are. While they talked about keeping an eye on each other and get out as quickly as possibly, Hulk from 2012 had smashed a Chitauri soldier through wreckage, much to the group's dismay.
Once Banner was assigned to smash things along the way to not give any suspicions, he went to find the Time Stone at the New York Sanctum. Tony and Scott went to Stark Tower to retrieve the Tesseract, while Steve focused primarily on the Scepter. Tony climbed onto a building and focused on the Avengers from 2012 interrogating Loki. He told Rogers to get inside Stark Tower, noted they are almost wrapped up on capturing Loki.
Tony, with a shrunken Scott Lang on his shoulder, quietly entered Stark Tower successfully without being noticed. While Stark watched his past self and the Avengers clearing from clean up duty and captured Loki, he commented on the size of Captain America's buttocks being crapped into his former uniform. After Black Widow grabbed the Scepter, the STRIKE Team had entered the building, leaving Stark and Lang to hide out of sight. Stark further noted that the STRIKE team was art of HYDRA before quieting Scott's voice.
Tony then flicked Scott towards his 2012 self in order to get closer to the Tesseract. Once they plan had settled out, he proceeded to flee out of the tower and located the Scepter near an elevator so that Rogers could meet up with other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. While Rogers had to capture the Scepter from Agent Jasper Sitwell, Stark managed to get a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform and went undercover while his past self arrived on the spot of where they met Alexander Pierce.
Stark then ordered Lang that he was on area of where his past self was located and told him to go into 2012 Tony Stark's shirt. While Lang went under 2012 Stark's shirt, he smelled Axe body spray on 2012 Stark's shirt, having 2023 Stark to explain he had one under a desk for emergencies. Under Stark's guidance, Lang entered the inside of his Arc Reactor, and was told to pull the lever that will temporarily give Stark's past self a mild cardiac arrest. When Lang damaged it, Stark's past self suffered a heart attack.
Using the distraction caused by 2012 Stark's collapse to their advantage, 2023 Stark told the security guards that 2012 Stark needs some help. While 2012 Stark had suffered pain from his heart, 2023 Stark had noticed Lang pushing the briefcase with the Tesseract and began to take it, walking away to escape. Despite successfully obtaining the Space Stone, an enraged 2012 Hulk busted through the door, sending both Tony and the case flying.
The case then popped open and landed at the feet of 2012 Loki, who quickly grabbed the Tesseract and escaped with it. Stark woke up from his sudden knockout, much to his shock from the brute force from the Hulk. Lang then jumped onto Stark and told them that part of the plan wasn't supposed to happen, leading him to tell Lang that they mess up the plan. Stark had go back to the alleyway empty handed.
