Chapter Text
There are many alternate realities that share the same universes as the one you live in now. To help make this make some sense for you, let's say you have a potential date and you're not sure if you should go or not, you flipped a coin to get your decision, heads for yes and tails for no. You flip the coin an it lands heads up. In another reality it lands tails up. One version of you goes, while the other doesn't.
But what if one could help change the other? What would the consequence be?
Earth-8549
Year 2047
In another multiverse a hero stands looking out her office window at a peaceful day. Days like this she was always thankful for, for they were few. She finds herself reminiscing of days long past, of friends long gone. Her boys.
The war took many good heroes down, took her friends, and left her to fix a broken world in it's wake.
She took charge, trained the recruits, and fought by their sides. Eventually age required her step down from the fighting. The Avenger Initiative would continued with new heros at the helm, she's sure Fury would be proud.
But she still missed those days with the original Avengers and their endless possibilities.
Clint, Steve, Tony, Thor… Bruce.
Her eyes begin to water, blurring the scenery in front of her. What she would give to have another moment with them.
She took a deep breath and dried her eyes, centering herself. There was work to be done and it wasn't going to finish itself.
Heading back to her desk she prepared to get through the first work load of the day,
When out of know here a bright orange light took over her office. As orange faded a man appeared, a man she hadn't seen in ages. "Strange?" She gasped.
"There's no time for small talk, Ms. Romanoff. Your help is greatly needed." He declared.
"I don't know if you're aware but I think you picked the wrong timeline to ask for help. I'm an old woman, what could I possibly do to help? I can't fight like I use too, I give the orders now."
Doctor Strange sighed to himself
"I didn't pick the wrong one, I searched every one, and you're it. My reality is in danger, and you're the only one who put it an end to it."
"Why is it in danger?"
"My worlds future is ruled by a tyrant. He's callous and deadly, but he wasn't always this way. He once fought on the side of good. After Thanos and the nuclear war, he changed. Losing his loved ones turned him cold and bitter. Now the world hangs by a thread. You're the only one he'll listen to."
"Who is he?" She asked curiously
A look of pity took over his features
"Bruce Banner."
