After the Snap, the world is without the Armored Avenger, the Star Spangled Man, the God of Thunder, The Archer, and The Spy.
Years later, when an old friend arrives with an idea that gives them a bit of hope and a plan to get the Infinity Stones...
Four days later, Val and Rhodey went back to Norway to settle the matter of the Asgardians getting a home while Korg and Miek stayed behind with the refugees. They had been there, back and forth for the past few days dealing with any paperwork or inspections that may have been needed.
Bruce was in the common room looking at some holographic screens. On them were reports of what was happening in the world. People wondering what was happening to the people they were with, wondering where their families and friends are, and a lot of other panic.
At the table in the room were the Twins playing with a coloring book and trying to teach their new buddies Korg and Miek how to do it.
"So I can't go outside the lines?" He asked them.
"Nope! You have to stay inside of them." Nikki answered him, "Otherwise it'll be all crazy and messy."
Korg didn't entirely understand, but he did his best to stay within the lines with the little crayons. When he finished, he held it up to show the Twins how it looked.
They're looked at each other and back to the book. They nodded and Jamie gave him a thumbs up.
The Kronan smiled and showed his work to his little buddy, Miek. The little bug squeaked in agreement.
As the four of them continued coloring, Bruce watched from the console and lightly smiled at the sight of them having fun. But watching them have fun made him think of how hard it was gonna be when they had to be told the truth about their parents.
His thoughts were broken by something beeping on one of the screens. Looking at it and pulling it, he saw that there was a car pulling into the Compound. It was a fancy, expensive looking car.
Seeing it gave him a small glimmer of hope as he had a feeling he knew who it was.
"Korg, stay here with the kids." He said as he headed to the door and outside to the driveway.
The rocky figure was confused as to why Bruce just ran out, but he was sure going to carry out the request. He looked at the kids and they nodded back to him.

***Driveway***
Bruce stopped at the driveway and watched as the car neared.
It pulled up and stopped right in front of him. The door opened and out stepped the one and only Pepper Potts.

"Bruce."
"Hey, Pepper."
She wordlessly hugged him and he hugged back. It wasn't hard to think of how she felt, since Bruce was feeling the same thing. Confused. Scared. Unsure.
