(Same Time But Down Town In New York)

Bruce and The Ancient One (2012). As Hulk is lying down on a beach chair. Who really does looks like he's sleeping with a hat on. Bruce Banner tries reasoning with the Ancient One to let him have the Time Stone.

B: Please, please!
Ancient1(2012): I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce. If I give up the Time Stone to help your Reality, I'm dooming my own.
B: With all due respect, I'm not sure the science really supports that.

The Ancient One creates a projection. With a long glowing ray that simulates the flow of time.

Ancient1(2012): The Infinity Stones create what you experience as the flow of time. Remove one stone and that flow splits.

She flicks the Time Stone projection away. As Shows black stream indicating a point of divergence. It proves her point.

Ancient1(2012): Now, this may benefit your reality, but my new one...not so much. In this new branched Reality, without our chief weapon against the forces of darkness, our world will be overrun. Millions will suffer. So, tell me, Doctor, can your science prevent all that?
B: No, but we can erase it. Because once we are done with the stones, we can return each one to its own timeline at the moment it was taken. So, chronologically.

Bruce holds the Time Stone in its projection. As he looked at her he looked back down at the line.

B: In that reality...

Bruce put the time stone back to its spot where it was before.

B: It never left.

Bruce's astral form takes the projection of the removed Time Stone. It replaces it back amongst the other five. As the doomed alternate dimension fades away. Illustrating his point and making her think about another important thing.

Ancient1(2012): But you are leaving out the most important part. In order to return the stones, you have to survive.
B: We will. I will. I promise.
Ancient1(2012): I can't risk this Reality on a promise. It is the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the Time Stone.
B: Then, why the hell did Strange give it away?
Ancient1(2012): What did you say?
B: Strange, he gave it away. He gave it to Thanos.
Ancient1(2012): Willingly?
B: Yes.
Ancient1(2012): ...Why?
B: I have no idea. Maybe he made a mistake?
Ancient1(2012): Or I did?

She returns to Banner control of his Hulk body and opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone.

Ancient1(2012): Strange is meant to be the best of us.
B: So he must have done it for a
reason.
Ancient1(2012): I fear you might be right.

The Ancient one gives bruce the Time Stone, and held it in his hands.
B: Thank you.

Ancient1(2012): I'm counting on you, Bruce. We all are.

(Same Time But Somewhere In The Galaxy and in 2014)

Thanos (2014), Nebula (2014), Gamora (2014) and Ebony Maw (2014). In Thanos (2014) ship him speaking to Ebony Maw.

THANOS(2014): Run diagnostics. Show me her memory file.
E.M(2014): Sire, the file appears entangled. It was a memory, but not hers. There's another consciousness sharing her network...another Nebula.
THANOS (2014): Impossible.
E.M(2014): This duplicate carries a time stamp... from nine years in the future.
THANOS (2014): Where is this other Nebula?
E.M(2014): In our solar system. On Morag.
THANOS (2014): Can you access her?
E.M(2014): Yes. The two are linked.
THANOS (2014): Search the duplicate's memories for Infinity Stones.

The memory of the meeting with all the Avengers starts playing.

B(2023)- And these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history.
T.S(2023)- Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in, yeah?
C.B(2023)- Which means we have to pick our targets.
T.S(2023)- Correct.
