Chapter Text
Disclaimer:
I understand that my story most likely will have plot holes. This is inevitable with a time travel story and can even be seen in the MCU's explanation of time travel. With this, I want to kindly ask my readers not to point out plot holes. I am going to try my best, but the unknown cannot be perfect. I do not own any of the Marvel characters or original stories, only the plot of this fanfic. Marvel characters and original storyline belong to Stan Lee, every movie producer, and comic book writer.
In The Present
I am Morgan Stark, and our world is in danger. It is twenty years after the battle that brought half of our world back to life, for the cost of my father. The world is in a catastrophic state after an alien from the fear dimension called Psych wreaks havoc upon us.
Today I plan to travel back in time to save the world from becoming what it is today. I have built a timeploy (time machine) so I can successfully travel back in time and save my father. As the world is far more advanced now, we have the ability to save people from their death seconds before it happens. We do this with what we call a rehabilitation rock, which individually heals every cell in the body at once. There are only a few in existence because many doctors were wiped out by the catastrophe. They were built in an attempt to save millions but were destroyed by Psych's followers.
Right now I am at Stark Tower, which surprisingly is still standing with rubble all around it. After dad died, mom tried her best to run Stark Industries, but the pressure was too much and she hired an assistant. This seemed to be point where my world started to crumble as the assistant sabotaged Stark Industries, and my fathers legacy along with it. Without Peppers knowledge, he was selling corrupt information to the government and by the time she found out it was too late. Stark Industries shut down, but my dad's inheritance let us keep Stark Tower. I however, continued to work on projects, my biggest one being the time ploy. After Psych came, more and more of his followers started invading Earth, destroying all they could. Before I knew it, Earth was beyond saving point with over 80% of the population dead and an approximate 5% missing. Everyone who managed to survive went into hiding and our society became a thing of the past. I'm hoping by bringing back the Avengers, we can stop Psych before it's too late.
I take a deep breath and clear my thoughts before walking over to my best friend/mentor.
"Do you really think this will work Peter?" I ask.
"I know it will Morgan. You've been working on this for years, and all the numbers match up. If everything goes to plan, you'll see me again, and the world will be a lot better. Your dad will definitely be proud of you Morgan" Peter says as I start tearing up and give him a hug.
"Thanks, that means a lot to me Peter. And I'm still going to miss you, I don't think 15 year old Peter got away with as much as you" I say, pulling away and wiping my eyes.
"Pretty sure I did kid, but I appreciate the sentiment," He says with a chuckle.
"Goodbye Peter."
I take one last look at Peter before turning around and stepping into the timeploy.
20 years ago...
"Avengers.. Assemble," Steve says while catching mijolnir in his hand and running towards the battle.
I fall towards the ground far behind.
"Oh my gosh! It actually worked!!" I squeal in happiness. My mood dampens however at the sight of the alien army ahead. That is one thing that I most definitely did not miss from the future.
I run towards the fight, and chaos ensues. There are shots firing everywhere, and explosions setting off. I happen to be close to one, and I am thrown to the side. My back flies against the pavement and I black out.

I groan in pain, waking up as my eyes flutter open. In the distance I can hear a voice saying, "I am inevitable."
I gather my senses, and remember my mission at this. I stand up and grab my rehabilitation rock out of my pocket, dusting off my pants.
Thanos snaps his fingers, and nothing happens.
I turn my attention towards Iron Man as he says, "And I ..am... Iron Man." I aim my rock and it flys, hitting the arc reactor and absorbing in his chest, a millisecond before he snaps his fingers.
Instantly Thanos's army starts to fade away into dust. I start checking my injuries as soon as I saw that the rock had been absorbed. I was mostly covered in blood and cuts with no major injuries.
I look over to see Pepper, and Peter near Tony's body in silence. It's so weird seeing such a young version of my best friend Peter.
I wait a few moments before I run towards Tony. This wasn't the smartest idea as the remaining Avengers stopped me in an instant. Clint had an arrow aimed towards my head, Rhodey had a repulser aimed at me, and everyone else was in battle position.
I stop immediately and raise my hands, realizing my situation.
"Who are you?" Steve asked.
"That isn't important right now," I respond.
"Like hell it isn't," Clint said, making my head snap towards him.
"I'm from the future," I retort.
"We just did the whole time travel thing, and I don't see you wearing a suit," Rhodey says skeptically .
I held in the urge to roll my eyes, "That's because you don't need a suit in the future."
"What do you want?" Wanda asked, her accent prevalent, getting straight to the point.
"Look, I will answer all your questions, after you let me through to Tony."
"What makes you think we're going to let you do that?" Carol says, coming closer to me, eyes bearing into my skull.
"I don't," I say plainly before moving my arm. As soon as I move Captain Marvel puts me in a headlock, cutting off my air.
"What do you want?" She asks holding tighter.
"I told you, I don't want anything," I say, my voice strained.
I look towards Peter for help, "Peter!"
He looks toward me in shock, "How do you know me?"
"We're friends in the future, you have to believe me!" I say, my face slowly losing it's color.
"You have exactly 10 seconds to tell us who you are," Carol threatens.
"I didn't want to have to do this," I mumble before quickly pressing a button on my wrist.
Everyone immediately freezes around me. In the future, there's a device that emits a gas that causes temporary paralysis to everyone in the area until the button is pressed again and the antidote is released into the air.
I push Carol's arm away as I breathe in a breath of air. Then I quickly run towards Tony, hoping the rock worked.
I hug him hoping with all my might hoping that something would happen.
His arc reactor starts glowing blue again, but I don't notice until Tony starts breathing.
"Oh my goodness, it worked!" I say in shock, happy tears falling down my face.
"Not that I don't mind, but what the hell happened here? And who are you?" Tony asks, slowly pushing my arms away.
"You defeated Thanos."
"Yeah but, how am I alive?, because I could've sworn I was just dead. I snapped and everything. Don't tell me this is heaven, I was hoping it was a bit more happy then this" Tony says sarcastically looking at the barren battlefield.
"You're not dead. I brought you back with A rehabilitation rock."
"That's not a thing." He says.
"In the future, yes."
"So you're from the future?"
"Yes. I'll explain everything after you tell them not to kill me in the process," I say pointing to the other Avengers.
He nods, "What happened to them anyway?"
I press the button and they unfreeze.
"Don't kill her!" He says pointing towards me. I step away giving them space.
"But you were dead," Pepper says, tears streaming down her face.
"I don't know how, but this girl saved me, and I'm alive." Tony says.
Pepper quickly gets over her shock and runs towards Tony and into his arms. The others quickly follow behind.
I watch the scene with sympathy on my face, wishing I could join. After they disperse they look towards me as I start explaining, "I'm from the future where Tony Stark dies. The world continues, as normal as it can be for 20 years. That's until Psych came."
"Who's Psych? Wait..Don't answer! Let me guess, some weird freaky alien dude from space trying to kill us all" Tony says.
I nod my head, "That just about sums it up."
"Come on! We just killed Thanos; can we use my method now and go kill baby Psychopath or whatever his name is? " Rhodes interjects, exasperation in his tone.
I shake my head and continue,"Psych is from a place called the fear dimension. The fear dimension was opened a few weeks ago, and you can guess what happened next...
