"REMEMBER, YOU HAVE TO RETURN THE STONES AT THE EXACT MOMENT YOU GOT THEM," Bruce instructed as he opened the briefcase that showed the infinity stones. "Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities,"
Steve nodded, closing the briefcase. "Don't worry, Bruce, clip all the branches,"
After a moment of silence, Bruce spoke up once again, "You know I tried. When I had the gauntlet—the stones— I really tried to bring her back. I miss them, man,"
"Me too," he replied softly.
"You know, if you want, I could come with you," Sam said, as he walked alongside Steve towards the portal.
Steve smiled softly, "You're a good man, Sam. This one's on me, though."
He then stood front of Bucky, whom he noticed had a sullen look and he gave him a smile — in hopes of lifting his best friend's mood up.
"Don't do anything stupid till I get back,"
Bucky chuckled softly and smiled, "How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you,"
They embraced into a warm hug once again and Bucky stared at him.
"Gonna miss you, buddy,"
Steve gave him another smile and reassuring nod, "It's going to be okay, Buck. I'll be back."
AJ smiled softly as she hugged her father, "I love you, dad," she said.
Steve smiled and hugged her, before he placed a kiss against his baby's forehead. "I love you too, sweetie,"
He then stepped up on the portal, activating his quantum suit.
"How long is this gonna take?" Sam asked.
"For him? As long as he needs," Bruce replied. "For us — five seconds,"
Steve picked up mjolnir, taking in a deep and steady breath. Everything that he's doing was a huge risk, but he would take that risk for his girl.
"Ready, Cap?" He nodded in response. "Alright, we'll meet you back here, okay?"
"You bet."
"Going quantum in three... two... one."
