  Summary

  Tony Stark dies saving half the universe and wakes up thirty years earlier with all of his memories intact.
  This time, he knows what goes wrong. He knows what it costs. He knows exactly what he would do differently.
  He does not know about the man in his doorway.
  James Barnes arrives from a future Tony never reached, carrying half the picture. Between them they have everything they need. The rest is just time.
