Five, long years. That's how long it's been since half the universe was wiped out. Jamie's dreams of Loki progress every night, Y/N hasn't been herself since Bucky died, and Thanos may be dead, but that doesn't help the heartache. But when Ant-Man r...
In the woods, Bruce, Sam, Steve, Bucky, and Y/N prepared the Quantum portal for Steve to return the stones. Bucky and Y/N held hands as they waited for that to come.

"Remember...You have to return the stones at the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities," Bruce said.
"Don't worry, Bruce. Clip all the branches," Steve assured.
"You know, when I had the gauntlet, the stones, I wanted to bring her back. I miss them, man," Bruce confessed.
"Me, too," Steve nodded.
"You know, if you want, I can come with you," Sam offered.
"You're a good man, Sam. This one's on me, though," Steve politely declined.
Steve then went over to Bucky and Y/N.
"Don't do anything stupid 'till I get back," he told Bucky, remembering when he left for the war.
"How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you," Bucky responded.
Y/N giggled and said, "I'm glad my two favorite men are in my life again."
They all got in a group hug.
"Gonna miss you, Buddy," Bucky whispered to him.
"It's gonna be okay, Buck," Steve whispered back.
Steve went over to the Quantum portal and put the Quantum suit.
"How long is this gonna take?" Sam asked.
"For him? As long as he needs. For us? Five seconds," Bruce answered.
Steve picked up Mjolnir.
"Ready, Cap? Alright. We'll meet you back here, okay?" Bruce asked.
"You bet," Steve nodded.
"Going quantum. Three, two, one..." Bruce counted down.
Steve disappeared into the Quantum portal at that.
"And returning in, five, four, three, two, one..." Bruce counted down again.
But this time, Steve didn't come back. This worried everyone.
"Where is he?" Sam asked.
"I don't know. He blew right by his time stamp. He should be here," Bruce answered.
Then Bucky looked over towards the lake. He got a little closer to get a better look.
