Chapter 3 - Distant Memory’s

(Tokyo)

Clint stood there in the rain as the dead body's were on the ground. There blood on the sidewalks, the road, and even the buildings as well. When he cleaned off his soared by lightly pressing each side to it to clean it. He took off his hood as the rain fell down on his skin. His whole body soaked as he lightly panted three times. Hearing someone behind him he slightly glanced knowing who they were.

He looked down being ashamed of who he was, and what he did. "You shouldn't be here..." Natasha stood there in the rain an umbrella over her head so then she could stay dry. She looked at her broken friend with tears in her eyes. "Either should you." Regret in his voice Clint spoke and said to her. "I have a job to do." Confused and angry she asked. "So that's what your calling this?"

Hearing the shame in her voice as he looked away.

"Killing all of these people isn't going to get you your family back." He stayed quiet as she took a bit of a pause. When she took a few more steps getting closer to him. She wasn't afraid of him. But she did feel sorry for him. "We found something a chance, just maybe." Clint sighed and spoke. "(Sigh) Don't..." She responded. "Don't what?" He turned around to face her as tears mixed in with the rain as they fell off his cheeks. "Don't give me hope." Regret filling her heart she responded with. "Sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner."

(Avengers Hq)

Thor walked into the headquarters opening a beer. Tony walked past him as Rocket was under the time travel machine working on the mechanics. Yelling at the god Tony said. "Your drifting left. One side there, Lebowski. Hey Ratchet how's it going?" Annoyed by Tony Rocket spoke and said. "It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're only a genius on Earth pal." "(BURPS)" Rocket and Tony looked at Thor in a bit of discuss. Thor lifted his hands as he backed up.

After about thirty minutes of walking around the building. Thor stopped when he walked by a familiar door. He walked up to the closed door as he breathed a big breath then sighed. His hand shaking as he opened the door Thor looked inside of the bedroom. Everything was exactly the same way as it did five years ago maybe a little dust but still. He looked at all of the pictures of you and the team outside, at Christmas, thanksgiving. Pretty much any special occasion before the whole Thanos bullshit started. He saw one of you and your mom when you were a kid. Then there was a picture of just you and him on your nightstand. He looked inside your closet and felt a sweater that you use to own. It felt so soft and just like you, turning around he went to go sit down on your bed. He rubbed the blankets as he took a deep breath in and out. Remembering every moment and memory that the two of you had shared with one another. The ones with laughter and joy with smiles and happiness. But when he started to remember the sad ones. The ones with pain and sorrow in them. But he remembered how much you both have grown because of the sad ones. He took another sip of his drink placing it down on the nightstand.

Shaking he spoke to F.R.I.D.A.Y. "Friday" she responded with. -Yes sir?- "Can you run y/n's memories?" -I can...any special memory you want to visit?- He smiled as he spoke. "2018 April 30th." -Running simulations- His surroundings changed to the year 2012. He saw you on your bed in glasses and a big sweater with it hanging off of your shoulder. As it showed your black bra strap. He sighed as his forearms were on his legs. It was a similar that played the person you want to talk to. Basically like a computer and it plays the persons reaction they way they would in real life.

"Hey Thor whats up? Let me guess I died and now I'm a computer right?"Thor nodded and smiled. "Well your definitely the same nothing gets passed you." Looking down the computer version of you noticed a difference in his appearance moving you sat down next to him. "How does it happen?" He looked at his hands as he sighed looking away as tears went into his eyes. "There was a guy called Thanos he-he wanted to wipe out half of the universes population...y-you tried fighting him a-and you got badly injured....a-and..." You gave him a side hug as he cried into his hands. You rubbed his back as he spoke. "I couldn't save you. You died because of me!" You put your head in his neck as he looked at his hands. "Y-your gone...A-A-and I have no idea what to do?" You thought about it and asked him. "Is there a way to get me back?" Thor looked at -you- and spoke. "There is one way..." You smiled and said. "Then do it. If there's a way to get the real me back then do it." Thor looked at her and spoke. "B-but what if I can't?" You placed a hand on his cheek and smiled. "You can I know you can. And you want to know why?" He nodded so then you could continue. "Because your my knight in shining amour Thor...you always save me...I believe in you." He teared up as you hugged him Thor tightly hugged you back and said. "I can't wait to see you again..." you chuckled then said. "Then don't. Also I got you a gift before I died. It's underneath the bed. I really hope you enjoy it. You'll do great and remember the others are here to help."

He took a deep breath and nodded. The room went back to the way it did before as he whipped away the tears. He went to go grab a colourful box underneath your bed. He grabbed the box as he got off the floor. Thor then realized that it was a present from you. The real you. He shakily looked at the tag that it had on it. He stopped walking seeing that the gift was indeed for him.

Note: Thor I hope you have an amazing birthday. And I know it might be silly since your 15,001 years old. But I hope you like your gift. It's something you can always have if you ever miss me while your in Asgard.

Happy birthday my olden teddy bear. XoXo

Your best friend -(Y/n)

He opened the box and saw an amazing comfy blue sweater. It felt so warm and soft as he held onto it. Thor then sat down on the edge of the bed. He sniffed as he whipped away the tears going down his cheeks. He took off the sweater that he was wearing and put on the one you got him. He was glad that it fit as he wrapped his arms around himself. Even gone you still had a way to make sure he was okay.

He hunched over closing his eyes as he exhaled a shaky breath as he tried not to cry. "I miss you so, so much milady...I promise that I'll get you back...you have my word."

Meanwhile in the lab Bruce, Rhodey, and Nebula were helping Scott. They were helping him put on the suit. As they were getting ready to give it the fist test run.

Rhodey walked in and saw the suit thinking that it looked cool. "Time Travel suit, not bad." Bruce was putting in the partials that Pym made. Scott saw this and got worried. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Easy!" Bruce looked at him and said. "I'm being very careful." Scott took the partials as the smart hulk backed up. "No, your being very Hulky!" Bruce put his hands in the air and said. "I'm being careful." Scott showed him the partials and spoke sternly. "These are Pym Particles all right? And ever since Hank Pym got snapped out of existence. This is it were not making anymore." Rhodey looked at him and said. "Scott calm down." Scott looked at Bruce and explained his frustration. "Sorry we have one round trip, each. That's it. No do overs, and two test runs."

Scott's mask went on and he shirks down the mask going off, as Scott looked at everyone James sighing at Scott. 

Scott looked at them and said. "One test run...Ok I'm not ready for this." Clint spoke and said. "I'm game." Everyone looks at Clint as his body was leaned up against the doorway his arms crossed. "I'll do it." Clint put on the suit Nebula pressing the buttons on his shoulders.  Bruce spoke explaining it to Clint. "Ok now Clint your going to feel a little discombobulated from the chronoshift. Don't worry about that." Rhodey looked at him and asked Bruce. "Wait a second. Let me ask you something. If we can do this, the whole time travel thing. Why don't we just find baby Thanos and you know..."

Rhodey made a motion that would be wrapping a rope around his neck and killing him as a baby.

Bruce's eyes widened as he made some -no- gestures.  "Ok first off. That's horrible." Rhodey bargained with. "It's Thanos." Bruce looked at him and said. "And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future."

Scott tried being smarter then Bruce for a second and said. "Look we go back and get the stones before Thanos gets them, Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem solved." Agreeing with them Clint spoke and said. "Bingo." Nebula shook her head and looked at the idiots and said. "That's not how it works." Clint mumbles and said. "Well that's what I heard." Bruce looked down at him and said. "Wait, by who? Who told you that?" Rhodey started listing things. "Star Trek, Terminator, Time-cop Time after time." Scott thought of one and said. "Quantum Leap." Rhodey continued. "Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in time." Scott thought of another one and said. "Hot tub time machine." Repeating what he said Rhodey said. "Hot tub time machine! Bill and Teds excellent Adventure. Basically any movie that deals with time travel." Not thinking Scot said. "Die hard. No that's not one..." Ignoring him Rhodey continued. "This is known." Bruce shook his head and said. "I don't know why everyone believes that? But it's not true. Think about it, if you travel to the past, then that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes your past. Which can't now be changed by your new future." Nebula looked at them and said. "Exactly." Scott shook his head and said. "So back to the future is a bunch of bull shit?"

When they tried out the time machine Clint went home and heard his daughter yelling at her younger brother. Clint called out her name and got teleported back to the present as his daughter went down the stairs as she looked around for Clint. Clint groaned in pain being back in the headquarters. Natasha and everyone looking at him.

As she helped him up Clint looking at her Natasha spoke to him as he looked at his surroundings. "Hey. Hey it's me you ok?" Clint looked at her and spoke. "Yeah...Yeah...It worked." He threw his sons baseball glove at Tony as he catches it smiling. "It works."

(Conference Room)

The team sat down to talk about all of the six stones. To find out the most of what they can about them. As Steve crossed his arms. He looked at the screens Tony was right beside him.

Steve spoke to the whole team explaining what they were going to do next. "All right, so we know that the how works. Now we have to figure out the when, and the where. All of us have had an encounter with one of the six infinity stones." Tony took a sip of his coffee and looked at them and said. "Or substitute the word encounter with the infinity stones. To being damn near destroyed by one of them." Scott looked at them and said. "I haven't. But hey I don't even know what the hell you guys are talking about..." Bruce walked behind him and spoke. "Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each. And these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history." Walking passed Clint tony spoke. "Our history, so not a lot of places you can just pop in, yeah." Clint was leaning up against the wall as Clint spoke to him. "Which means we have to pick our targets." Tony looked at him and pointed and him as he agreed. "Correct." Steve looked at them and said. "So, let's start with Aether. (Reality Stone) Thor what do you know?" Everyone looked towards the as he sat in the corner with a drink in his left hand and sunglasses on, his right hand in his pants. Steve looked at him and said his name. "Thor?" Nat tilted her head and asked. "Is he sleeping?" Rhodey shook his head and said. "No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead."

Thor stood up in front of the screen with a picture of the Stone and the name Aether (Reality Stone) on top of it. Thor took off his sunglasses as he tapped the glass.  After crying for fifteen minutes he got up and got drunk again.

So he had a spitting headache right about now but he got up there anyway and began to speak. "The Aether right uh, right where to start?...The Aether firstly is not a stone. Someone called it a stone before." Thor pointed to Steve, Cap looking at Thor with a confused look before he continued. "Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of thing...so someone needs to amend that. And stop saying that, here's an interesting story about the Aether." Everyone looked at one another not really fallowing along with the story. Scott smiled as he understood every word he was saying.  "My grandfather many years ago...had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. (Woo-ing affects) scary beings, so Y/n actually..."

A picture of you popped up on the screen as Thor pointed at it. He tapped the screen as painful memories started to flood back to him. The thought of you slowly dying in his arms came into his head.

But the memory of you kissing him that day made it so then he didn't collapse. "Oh there she is. So y/n was an old flame of mine. You know, she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time. And then the Aether stuck itself inside her. And she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and heal her. We were friends at the time you see. I got to introduce her to my mother...who's dead and um....Oh, you know I haven't even got to ask her out since she died so..." Bruce motion to Tony to make him stop talking. Thor didn't notice so he decided to continue.  "These things happen you know? Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that..." Tony walked towards him and said. "Why don't you come sit down?" Thor looked at him and shook his head. "No, I'm not done yet. The only thing in life that is permanent is impermanence." Thor laughed a bit as Tony clapped his hands together three times.  "Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Thor closed his eyes and said to him. "No. I'd like a Bloody Mary."

(Later On That Night)

They were all sitting down at a table eating dinner as Rocket stood on the table telling them about the power stone. "Quill said he stole the Power stone from Morag." Bruce in confusion asked. "Is that a person?" Rocket shook his head and said. "No, Morag's a planet. Quill was a person." Scott looked at him in shock and asked. "Like a planet? Like in outer space?" Rocket looked at him and started petting his head as everyone smiled and giggled. "Aw, look. It's like a puppy, all happy and everything. Do you wanna go to space? Do you wanna go to space puppy? I'll take you to space."

(The Next Day)

Nebula was standing up as she spoke. "Thanos found the Soul stone on Vomir." Natasha as curious as everyone else spoke. "What is Vomir?" Nebula with no emotion said. "A dominion of death...at the very centre of celestial existence." Pausing for a moment tears entering her eyes said. "It's where Thanos murdered my sister." Steve heavily sighed as Scott said. "Not it..."

Meanwhile Thor was in a garden where the golden boards were. He found yours and put your favourite flowers on the ground right up against the board. He looked at your name and sighed. Looking around seeing no one else there he looked down and spoke. "Hey, this is a little weird...but then again so was speaking to the computer version of you. We're going to go back in time tomorrow and if all goes well. Then everyone comes back...If things end badly well our universe will probably cease to exist. If so...then I hope to see you on the other side milady..."

(Later That Day)

Natasha Tony and Bruce were up late at night talking about Dr. Strange. "That Time stone guy..." correcting her Bruce spoke and said. "Doctor Strange." Natasha then said. "Yeah, what kind of Doctor was he?" To be funny Tony said. "Ear-Nose-Throat meets rabbit-from-hat." Bruce laughed a little then said. "Nice place in the village though." Tony guessed and said. "Yeah, on Sullivan Street?" Bruce thought about it and said. "Mm...Bleecker Street." Nat's eyes widened and said. "Wait, he lived in New York?" Sarcastically Tony said. "No he lived in Toronto." Bruce then said. "Uh, yeah on Bleecker and Sullivan." Tony looked at her and asked. "Have you been listening to anything?" Natasha looked up at the ceiling and said. "Guys. If you pick the right year. There are three stones in New York." Tony and Bruce both looked at Natasha as Bruce took off his glasses, Nat starring at the ceiling. "Shut the front door."

(The Next Day)

The next day the team went into the conference room as they all stood together looking at the screens. The Space, Mind, and Time stone were in New York. And the Aether was in Asgard. While the Power stone was on Morag and the Soul Stone was on Vomir. 

Steve looked at the screen as he spoke. "All right. We have a plan. Six stones, three teams, one shot." The team got suited up and ready to go. Standing on the time travel machine. "Five years ago we lost. All of us. We lost friends. We lost families. We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we have a chance to bring it all back. You know your teams. You know your missions. Get the stones. Get them back. One round-trip each. No mistakes. No do overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know. That doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives...And we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck."
