Summary
“It’s like a bad joke: how many firefighters does it take to put out a lab fire? Two, but you gotta put them in a time loop first.”
“That doesn’t even make sense.”
“Give me another loop, I’ll workshop it.”
Ravi and Buck make it out of the lab. They're the only ones that do. But you know what they say-- if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.

Summary
In 2018, the world almost ended. The world almost ended on a surprisingly frequent basis, Stephen had discovered in the last two years. But this time, this time the solution seemed just as bad as the problem itself with five years lost and so much suffering in the interim and the years after. So Stephen pushed himself farther than he ever had before to see if he could find something else: a solution that was less cruel, less harmful, less impacting to both Earth and the universe as a whole.
He found it sometime after approximately 22.3 million futures.

She wishes she could go back and change things. If she had truly been focused on doing the right thing as Director of NCIS, then she should have focused on nurturing Tony.
Was that what she would do differently?
Yes, Jenny thinks decisively. If she had her time over, she would nurture Tony and she would be the NCIS Director she should have been…

Summary
Grief presses deep into his shoulders, shadowed fingers cold about his throat.
Tony Stark aches, aches in a way he hasn't since Jarvis passed, aches in way that batters away his ribs from inside his chest and curls painfully in his marrow.
And from the back of the church, something bitter twists in his mouth as he studies Rogers.
Or: Tony Stark attends Aunt Peggy's funeral, and the world spins in a direction radiating dissonance.

M: Not detailed or graphic, but strong themes of death, violence, injury, human Trafficking, child abuse & assault
----
When he started at the 118, he had been a straight man and target for Chimney’s jokes, a bratty little punk to Hen’s big sister, a reckless son for Bobby, all while being a competent team mate as soon as the sirens blew. It’s no wonder he lost himself a little, playing the chameleon for everyone else. And somehow, he just never quite managed to break out of those roles.
----
Maddie should never have had to raise him, and he was so grateful she did…but she never really saw him as grown-up.

Summary
Dick has shot Roy’s bow a few times. Roy’s current bow is a beast with a 105 pound draw weight. Dick allows himself a small smile, remembering how delighted Roy had been when he got it, deliberately two pounds heavier than Oliver’s. (“Suck it, old man!” Roy had crowed.) Dick had been able to use it, but at that weight his accuracy had been terrible.
Still, those 105 pounds now seem lighter than a feather pillow, compared to the pull of his trigger.
“Officer Grayson, please wait here. Your union rep will be here soon, and she has requested that we don’t start without her.”
***
Police Officer Grayson kills the Joker while on duty.

Summary
What if Tony decided in Siberia that he couldn't just go home? He was used to being the scapegoat, but this time the cost would be more than he could pay.
Ross would have the ammunition he needed to get Iron Man under his control, and what he'd do with the tech didn't bear thinking about.
Tony decided to use Protocol Pass The Torch. He'd be fine. A penniless fugitive's life would make a nice change of pace. Everything would be peachy keen.
(Tony miscalculated the pull the world had on him. He also miscalculated how many people would join him. Ultimately, Thanos underestimated him.)

"I do not even know where the idea that the scepter could enhance human abilities originated. Loki used it to create obedient servants by usurping their wills, so logically that was what Hydra should have been attempting."

'Dumping?' that's more like burning letters to Santa in the fireplace and expecting magic to happen.Web pages have to be found by search engines that follow links, crawling from one to another, organizing.
SHIELD's data had been documents stored internally on stand alone computer systems. They weren't HTML web pages. There were no links to existing internet sites or Tony wouldn't have had to physically link Jarvis to the helicarrier. The helicarrier only had information relating to its own functions, including the research and storage of the Phase Two weapons. If they'd had Hydra mission reports... he'd have learned about his parents then.
Romanoff hadn't just removed firewalls from SHIELD's files, that would have done nothing.
Somehow, she'd converted everything to webpages, and uploaded everything to various clouds, and then put links on common words in every file to existing popular sites. Search Wikipedia for hawks, and find Hawkeye's mission reports. Go looking for a toy helicopter on Amazon, find the helicarrier's blueprints. He didn't know the exact sequence of events of course. Probably the raw data was uploaded along with the converter and linking programs, and the power of the cloud itself was used to do the rest.
He wondered if Fury realized exactly what Romanoff planned to do, or if he'd been blindsided, and then couldn't admit he'd screwed up.
