They went to a cafe to meet with Bruce Banner, but they were met with Bruce in Hulk's body, a.k.a. Professor Hulk.

"Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating," Bruce said pushed a plate forward, then replied, "Try some of that. Have some eggs."

"I'm so confused," Scott commented.

"I am too. A little bit," Y/N replied, raising her hand a little.

"These are confusing times," Bruce responded seriously.

"Right. No, no, that's not what I meant," Scott tried to correct.

"No, I get it. I'm kidding! I know. It's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now," Bruce joked.

"Yeah! How? Why?" Scott asked.

"Five years ago, we got our asses beat. Except it was worse for me. Because I lost twice. First, Hulk lost, then Banner lost. Then, we all lost," Bruce said.

"No one blamed you, Bruce," Natasha assured.

"I did. For years, I've been treating the Hulk like he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of. But then I started looking at him as the cure. Eighteen months in a gamma lab. I put the brains and the brawn together. And now look at me. Best of both worlds..."Bruce explained.

Then two boys and a girl went up to Bruce tentatively.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hulk?" the girl asked.

"Yes?" Bruce said.

"Can we get a photo?" the girl wondered.

"100%, little person. Come on, step up," Bruce nodded and said, holding out the phone to Scott, "You mind?"

"Oh," Scott responded, taking the phone.

"Say 'green'!" Bruce told them.

They said "Green" as Scott took the photo.

"Well that'll be a fun story to tell the kids," Y/N commented.

"Did you get that?" Bruce wondered.

"Don't you wanna grab one with me? I'm Ant-Man," Scott said, leaning to hand the phone back to the girl.

"Uh, Scott? They're Hulk fans, they may not know Ant-Man," Y/N pointed out.

"Wait, no, no, he feels bad. No, he wants you to...he wants to..." Bruce said then asked one of the boys, "You want to take a picture with him, right?"

The boy shook his head "no".

"He's even saying no he doesn't. I get it. I don't want it either," Scott decided.

"But, come on, the kid! But he...but you..." Bruce stammered.

"I don't want a picture with them," Scott refused.

"He's gonna feel bad," Bruce told the kids then Scott, "Sorry. They said they'd do it."

"I don't want it anymore," Scott remarked.

"No, no...you feel bad," Bruce replied.

"Just take the goddamn phone," Scott snapped, handing the phone back.

"Thank you, Mr. Hulk," the girl said.

"No, it's great kids. Thank you very much. Hulk out!" Bruce said as they left.

"Bruce," Steve called.

"Dab!" Bruce dabbed awkwardly.

(A/N That's my last name; don't wear it out! Lol!)

"Bruce," Y/N called.

"Listen to your Mom. She knows better," Bruce said.

"About we were saying..." Steve continued.

"Right. The Hulk time travel do-over? Guys, it's outside my area of expertise," Bruce replied.

"Well, you pulled this off. I remember a time when that seemed pretty impossible time, too," Natasha pointed out.

Meanwhile, Tony had figured out that their plan for time travel through the Quantum Realm was possible after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N Let's see if they can pull this off.

P.S. That's enough for tonight. I will try to put more up tomorrow, but I can't make any promises. I hope you guys are enjoying it so far.
