The blip (sequel to my stupid spider-boy)

Chapter 17

(Ferryn's P.O.V.)

Dad and I had packed up our research and navigation devices and were headed to the upstate Avengers facility.

"So, how old do you think Scott is from their attempts?" I joke as we are getting closer.

"I bet he was at least turned into a baby." He responds. "With all the sims we had to go through I bet they couldn't have figured it out yet." Dad says as we pull up to the facility and see Steve already standing outside. Dad gets out and he explains to Steve what we made. Along with a few cocky comments about how he warned him about all of this.

"We have a shot at getting these stones. But I gotta tell you my priorities. Bring back what we lost, I hope, yes. Keep what I found, I have to at all costs. And maybe not die trying. That would be nice." Dad explains to Steve.

"Sounds like a deal." Steve and dad shake hands and then we go to get his shield from the trunk.  Dad holds up the shield for Steve.

"I don't know."

"Why? He made it for you. Plus, honestly, I have to get out of the garage before this one takes Morgan sledding on it." Dad says, pointing back at me after he hands it to Steve.

"Come on, it's the perfect shape and me and Goose would fly down a hill! It would be so much fun!" I laugh and Dad rolls his eyes as Steve laughs.

"And keep it a little quiet, I didn't bring one for the whole team." Dad said and shut the trunk. "We are getting a whole team right?"

"We're working on that right now."

------later-------

Over the next several days more of the rest of the team showed up. Thor is ,uh, fat and drunk and Clint looks cooler than usual. I hadn't seen him since Berlin and he had apparently been running around killing people since the snap but is now ok. We made suits for everyone and we are starting the test runs. We weren't gonna get any tests but Dad isn't letting me go time traveling with everyone so now we have two tests. Well one.

"Dad let me do the test at least! I won't go anywhere dangerous and I know this stuff just as good as you do! Scott already screwed the first one up let someone who knows what's going on do it," I  exclaim as I follow him as he plugs in more things for the test.

"FINE!" He says, dropping what he was doing. "God, you are annoyingly persistent. You have to promise me you'll go somewhere safe." He says holding my shoulders. I nod vigorously and run to the test lab.

"He said I can go! Get the test ready, Dr. B!" I yell as I run to him.

"Alright go get a suit on, I'll get it ready." Banner says and I go get a suit. Once I get suited up and go to the lab.

"Ok so if we can do this, you know go back in time, why don't we just find baby Thanos? And you know," Rhody says and motions that we'd like, twist Thanos to kill him. I know it's Thanos but that's morbid.

"First of all, that's horrible."

"It's Thanos"

"And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future." Dr. B tries to explain.

"Look, we go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them. Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem solved." Scott says as if it was obvious.

"That's not how it works." Nebula says, rolling her eyes while she worked at my suit.

"Well, that's what I heard."  Rhoedy retorts.

"Wait, but who? Who told you that?" Dr B asked.

"Star Trek, Terminator, Timecop, Time After Time." "Quantum Leap." "Time After Time. wrinkle in time, Somewhere in time." "Hot tub time machine." "Hot tub time machine! Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Basically, any movie that deals with time travel." Rhodey finishes his list of time travel movies, with help from Scott.

"Die Hard. No, that's not one." Scott tries to continue the list.

"Sharknado!" I add and Scott point at me excitedly. I fully understand time travel but I just wanted to join in.

"I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it. If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past. Which can't now be changed by your future." Dr. B. explains but it just further confuses Scott and Rhodey.

"Exactly." Nebula agrees with him.

"I have studied time travel and understand it but you just made it confusing." I say, almost as confused as the two boys.

"So Back to the Future is a bunch of BS?" Scott asked as if he had been betrayed. We all roll out eyes and move out to the big platform. I climb up on the platform and put on my mask.

"Alright, Ferryn. We're going in three, two." Dr. B counts and then I feel like I'm being pulled down into the floor. Once I land I see a familiar scene. I'm in Peter's apartment in Queens. I only have a few minutes and I need  to grab something. I was in his room and I know that he and past me are in the living room watching a movie. I see a notebook sitting on his desk and grab it. I brush my fingers over his name that was written on the cover. I quietly peak out the door to see Peter and my past self laughing as we watch a Monty Python movie. He had his arm around me and my head was on his shoulder. What I would do to be in that position again. "Peter" I whisper and see him turn around but I suddenly feel like I'm being pulled back through the floor. I landed on the large white platform again and clutched the notebook , trying not to cry.

"Hey,hey. Are you alright?" Nat asked me as she sat down with me.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." I say, standing up. I hold up the notebook and smile.

"It worked." I whispered, showing the team the notebook. "It worked!"
