The Light Sentinel (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 49: A Second Chance

After informing Daniel, Allie, Anara, Maro, Alotren, Ahsoka, and Zira what Scott had told us, Steve, Scott, Nat, Daniel, Zira, and I made our way towards Tony's cabin. I remember when I first introduced Daniel to Tony, he was baffled that Howard had a son, but soon discovered how much alike they were. Allie, Anara, Rex, Alotren, Ahsoka, and Maro remained behind at the facility. Once we arrived at the facility, I saw Tony standing on his porch, carrying Morgan with Anakin and Skye at his side. 

"Ma'dra, fa'dra!" Anakin and Skye exclaimed.

Anakin and Skye rushed over towards Daniel and me. We opened our arms, allowing Anakin and Skye to run into our embrace. Daniel's smile widened. "Hey, there are my rugrats!"

"Ani, Skye, min turhayas!" I exclaimed.

"Why don't you two go inside?" I advised. "We have to talk to your Uncle Tony."

They let out a whine before reluctantly running inside Tony's cabin. Once they were inside, Tony slowly lowered Morgan onto the ground. Morgan rushed over towards me, giving me a hug with a smile on her face. "Aunt Storm!"

My smile widened. "It's good to see you too, little one."

"Why don't you go with them, Morgan." Tony suggested.

As soon as Morgan was inside, Tony turned towards us as before handing us drinks. He then glanced over at Daniel, looking baffled. "Uh, I'm sorry, I forgot your name. You are...?"

"This is Daniel Sousa, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D...and my boyfriend." I confessed.

Tony's eyes widened. "Boyfriend?"

I wore a sheepish smile. "I had been meaning to tell you that, I just couldn't find the right time."

"Unfortunately we didn't come here to socialize." Daniel mentioned. 

"Daniel's right. We have to tell you something." Steve agreed. 

We then wasted no time in explaining everything we learned from Scott to Tony. When we were done explaining, Scott added on. "Now, we know what it sounds like..."

"Tony after everything you've seen, is anything really impossible..." Steve began.

"Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck scale, which then triggers the Deutsch proposition. Can we agree on that?" Tony asked, cutting off Steve.

Daniel furrowed his brows. "What does that mean?"

"He means you're not coming home." I clarified.

"Thank you." Tony said, giving me a gratified smile.

"I did." Scott stated.

"No. You accidentally survived." Tony corrected. "It's a billion to one cosmic fluke. And now you want to pull a...what do you call it?"

Scott hesitated. "Uh...a time heist?"

Tony scoffed. "Yeah, a time heist. Of course. Why didn't we think of this before? Oh, because it's laughable? Because it's a pipedream?"

"Look, I know this is all crazy but we can make it work." I mentioned.

"The stones are in the past. We could go back and we could get them." Steve commented.

"We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back." Nat explained.

"Or screw it up worse than he already has, right?" Tony pointed out.

"I don't believe we would." Steve protested.

"Got to say this. Sometimes, I miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help if there's no logical, tangible, way for me to safely execute the said, time heist." Tony argued as he sat down on his chair. "I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise."
