Inside the Avengers Base …
“Time and space aren’t my expertise, but I will help!” Banner said enthusiastically. Meanwhile, Shuri, who had already arrived earlier, was still calculating the possibility of the solution that they ought to solve in the Quantum Realm.
“Maybe we can try it! Although my knowledge of the Quantum Field is only on an academic level, I already read all related research topics on Quantum Field before I came here!” Shuri said confidently. Those few words alone made everyone feel a little bit relieved. After all, she was also a genius that rivaled Tony! In fact, when the Avengers had to extract the Mind Stone from Vision earlier, Shuri proved that she was better at robotics than Tony!
“How confident are you?” Banner asked.
“I don’t want to sound pessimistic here, maybe one in a thousand?” Shuri poured cold water on the Avengers, but it was the most realistic chance of their success in her mind. Nevertheless, there was still hope!
“Then you may proceed as soon as possible! If you need anything, feel free to ask us for anything.” Dio said with a smile on his face. Shuri immediately nodded her head and then took Banner and Scott Lang to take apart the van that Hank Pym used during his experiment on the Quantum Realms in the past. Their next step would be enlarging the Quantum Channel so that people could go in without becoming small.

Night fell, Tony who was washing dishes didn’t know why he kept thinking about the issue! When he wiped his hand, his attention turned to a picture on the side. That picture was a picture of him with Peter Parker! The Spiderman was just a young man that still had a lot to learn! The memories of their last time together immediately came to mind!
“I don’t feel so good, Mr. Stark! I don’t wanna die, Mr. Stark! I don’t wanna die!” Peter Parker said as his body started to crack and turn into dust. Tony took the photo, but his hands slipped, and the photo fell to the ground. Tony shook his head and immediately cleaned up the mess he had made. After dumping the broken glass into the trash can, he put the photo back into the cabinet.
He started to think that he could actually do something! Even though his help wouldn’t necessarily lead to success, it was still worth trying! With that inspiration in mind, Tony immediately called for his A.I assistant.
“I suddenly had a moment of clarity, and I want to see if it really works! Simulate it for me!” Tony said as he typed some codes into the A.I data.
“Processing!” The A.I immediately responded as it began simulating Tony’s code.
“Increase the value of that particle and analyse it with a spectral wave,” Tony ordered.
“Please wait.” A.I responded.
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time, just try simulating it to the best result,” Tony said pessimistically.
“Simulation success!” the A.I responded after a while.
“Oh my god!” Tony said as he fell down from his chair. He didn’t expect the simulation to be a success! He was speechless as he stared at the screen.

“I am not trying to show off, but she told me that she loved me 3.000!” Tony said proudly to Pepper after he put Morgan to sleep.
“Well, she only said it because you are the only one around,” Pepper said as she laughed at Tony’s childish pride.
“So, what are you reading?” Tony said as he changed the topic of their conversation.
“It’s a book about farming,” Pepper said as she showed Tony the cover of the book.
“Is there anything new about farming? I remember that you have been reading a lot of farm books lately. You know that our technology could cover farming too, right?” Tony said annoyedly.
“Tony, what are you trying to say?” Pepper asked as she found it weird that Tony began asking things.
“I managed to build a time machine!” Tony said honestly.
“Tony! That’s incredible! Oh my, but I think it can be a little bit scary!” Pepper said with a complicated expression.
This might be a pleasant surprise for many people, but for her, it just meant that Tony was prepared to leap into danger once again! So she didn’t really know how to react to Tony’s success.
If she wanted to be kind and humane, she should encourage Tony to restore the universe to what it was before, but as a wife and a mother, she didn’t want Tony to continue with his endeavor.
One choice led to sacrifice, and the other led to selfishness.
“We are lucky, but not everyone is as lucky as us!” Pepper said with a smile on her face.
“I can’t help everyone, Pepper,” Tony said with a sad look on his face.
“Perhaps it would change soon!” Pepper knew what Tony was thinking. She knew that Tony was holding back because of her and Morgan. Although it seemed Tony was very reluctant to continue, Pepper knew that Tony was blaming himself after the blip.
“I don’t have to help them. I can just send it and explain what they should do with it and then leave!” Tony said as he made his point.
“Tony, it wouldn’t be the same without you there,” Pepper said with a smile on her face. Tony immediately sighed as he already knew where this conversation was going. In fact, he already knew from the start that Pepper would do this! Pepper would never stop Tony from saving the world! She would always support Tony to do his best!
“I think I should forget about it and go to bed!” Tony said with a smile on his face.
“But you wouldn’t be able to do so! If you can really let everything go, you wouldn’t need to take a drug every day to help you sleep! It’s okay, Tony! Morgan and I would wait for your return!” Pepper said as she leaned to Tony’s shoulder with a smile on her face.
