Apex Avenger: Till The End

Ch 8

We were in the compound and are about to test Scott's theory. Bruce is behind a panel pressing buttons as we watch. Scott is in his suit in front of the back opening of his van.

"Okay, here we go. Time travel test number one. Scott, fire up the uh, the van thing." Bruce says.

Scott opens the portal.

"Breakers are set, emergency generators are on standby." Steve nods.

"Good. Cause if we blow the grid. I don't wanna lose Tiny here in the 1950s." Bruce says.

We all give him a panicked look.

"Excuse me?" Scott asks raising an eyebrow.

"He's kidding." I chuckle at him.

"You can't say things like that!" I then nudge Bruce.

"Just, a bad joke." Bruce chuckles trying to ease his nerves.

"You were kidding right?" I ask in a whisper.

"I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here. Either it's all a joke, or none of it is." He tells me and we turn to Scott.

He gives Scott a thumbs up while I smile.

"We're good! Get your helmet on, Scott. I'm gonna send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour, then bring you back in 10 seconds. Makes sense?" Bruce breaks down for him.

"Perfectly not confusing." He nods.

"Good luck, Scott. You got this." Steve encourages.

"You're right. I do, Captain America." Scott says.

Bruce presses a button and Scott disappears in the tunnel.

On the count of three. 3...2...1!" Bruce announces and presses a button.

Someone in the Antman suit comes back. A teenager appears out of it.

"Uh guys, this, this doesn't feel right." The kid says.

"What is this?" Steve asks pointing at the kid.

"What's going on?" Bruce asks.

"That..who is that?" I ask confused.

Bruce pushes another couple of buttons, trying to fix the problem.

"Hold on." He panics.

"Is that Scott?" I ask.

"Yes, It's Scott." The kid answers.

Teen Scott gets sucked back into the tunnel and it appears to be an old man in the Antman suit.

"Ow! My back!" The old man says.

"What is this?" Steve asks.

"Can I get a little space here." Bruce says motioning at us.

"Yeah yeah can you bring him back?" I ask.

"I'm working on it!" Bruce stresses tapping more buttons.

After a moment another person appears, this time it's a baby in the suit.

"It's a baby." Steve deadpans.

"It's Scott." Bruce says.

"As a baby!" He exclaims.

"He'll grow." Bruce points to the baby.

"Bring Scott back!" He tells him.

"When I say kill the power, kill the power." Bruce motions to me.
