Quantum Travel Gone Wrong? Brace for What's Next!

Strange, empty voids stretched in every direction. One careless move, and they could lose themselves forever.

"Everyone, remember: we only get one round trip. Do not linger in the past," Steve Rogers warned again as they fell through the Quantum Realm.

Natasha and the others acknowledged him in unison, activated their Quantum Suits, and split into three groups, each heading for the time and place they had planned.

Whoosh—

Within the boundless Quantum Realm, the Pym Particles took effect. The falling Avengers vanished into the Quantum Tunnel.

The next moment.

Whoosh—

The Avengers suddenly appeared in an alley on a New York street in 2012.

Passersby hadn't seen how they got there. They merely glanced at the group dressed as superheroes they didn't recognize, gave them a second look, then walked on without thinking much of it.

"Hm?"

"Scott, Banner, Steve."

"What the hell?! Natasha? Clinton? Nebula? Rhodes? Thor? And Rocket Raccoon?" Tony's gaze swept over them one by one. The other three groups, who were supposed to have gone to two alien planets and Asgard, had somehow arrived with Tony's group in New York in 2012.

"Holy shit! What happened?" Rocket Raccoon looked around and, realizing this wasn't Morag, let out a curse.

By then, every Avenger present had retracted their Quantum Suit's Nano Helmet. They studied the surroundings with grim faces. This was not where they were supposed to be.

"Tony, Banner."

Natasha looked at Tony and Banner, her eyes asking the question for her.

"How could this..."

Tony was stunned too. Before this trip through time, he, Rocket Raccoon, and Dr. Banner had tested the system's safety and stability. An accident this serious shouldn't
