Summary
"Time travel is messy, and when he wakes, he awakes to himself standing right by a cliff’s edge, snow sloshing beneath his booted feet. The Austrian Alps, a zip-line strung from start to end, locked in place — he remembers this. He finds himself in old clothes, amongst old friends, and the only thing that reminds him of the present is the strap around his left hand."The team works with Scott Lang to time travel through the quantum realm, in the aftermath of the cosmic snap. But time travel is messy, and some of the team are displaced in a memory they still can't move forward from. So the struggle begins: If it's something within your reach that you can make right, no matter the cost, will you do it?
Note
So, time travel. This headcannon was based off of the leaked set photos and fan theories for Avengers 4, and will be Steve (first) & Natasha-centric, due to their respective relationships with Bucky. Would've made it a series, but then it would've felt rather disjointed between both travel sequences. Be prepared, there is a lot of hurt, and not a lot of comfort. Enjoy! “There are no happy endings.Endings are the saddest part,So just give me a happy middleAnd a very happy start.” –Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic
