"Also didn't arrive until after, or I bet we could have prevented it from happening at all."

"Oh. Uh, I'm not at my best right now."

"It might take a while to check for any given star if someone needs it for something... Thor, nobody needs Asgard's sun anymore, right?"

"I suppose not."

"Plan A gives us another twenty days anyway. We might want to move it up if we can. Since that's a whole lot of people getting a month of their lives erased even if it was a pretty shit month. But if you feel like you need some downtime, a hamburger, recommendations for better video games, you've got it."

"I never want to see another video game again," says Carol. "Uh. Unless it's the reasonable thing to do all things considered to send me back afterward for everyone's safety, I mean. Then I want more video games."

"Mmmkay, I like her, she can be empress of the universe if she wants."

"Seems like the Infinity Stones could go toe to toe with the, uh, whatever you encountered."

"Yeah, I bet we get Strange back and hand him his green glowy and he can get you not-a-hazard-to-everything in no time."

"It doesn't seem reasonable to be sure of this."

"We can be pretty darn confident, though, that the thing that Carol ran into didn't see me or anybody else from more than one step away coming, and unless Carol is naturally predisposed to going mad and killing things -"

"No!"

"- then it's probably not a very fault-tolerant precognition. If nothing else it should be completely safe for her to live a normal life in another universe. With people in it."

"Oh, yeah, there are apparently a bunch of universes. Loki's from one of the other ones. Hers seems to be going a little bit better these days."

"My universe is great."

"Uh-huh," says Carol. "- was there going to be a hamburger -"

"Shuri does Wakanda do hamburgers or do we need to make an emergency run back to the States."

"We had to stop having cows twenty years ago, as they were overgrazing our fairly limited surface area."

      "Aww man -"

"Luckily by then we had figured out how to produce delicious reproductions without requiring any animals."

"Just so you know you are a dick for not sharing that."

"And you are a dick for slavery."

"Hey now, I didn't do slavery. Arms dealing, yes, I will cop to being a dick for arms dealing, but I did not do slavery."

"And I did not as a toddler set Wakandan policy."

"You can import Elf vat meat tech later," says Loki.

"Can I have a delicious reproduction," says Carol. "They send me a lot of pasta, I'm really tired of pasta and they switched brands last year and the new kind wasn't good."

"I will order it delivered right away."

"Thanks," says Carol.

"Of course!"

Tony fills in Carol on the details of the plan, including Lemistra being the target and the various people who are powerful enough to be safely in the vicinity and potentially helpful.

"Okay... and I'm not there to destroy things, I'm there because the - power stone - will like me?"

"Well, you should be loaded up on sun juice and going toe to toe with Thanos is not going to be great for anyone around but the point isn't destroying things, the point is that we need some magic rocks to defect in order to win this thing. And, yeah, power stone likes you."
