Bookmarker's Notes
There was absolutely no way this sunshine was from Gotham in April.
Not possible.
Which meant, Tim was no longer in Gotham, in April.
(In which Tim finds himself in the past, and tries to do the right thing. It's more complicated than he'd like.)

Summary
“OK, hypothetically, you get sent back in time one year. Does that make a difference?” Strange asked. “Two? Three? Could you live through the worst experience of your life again to preserve enough of the timeline to continue? Could you stand aside and let someone you love live through a bad experience in their life?”
“OK. I get it. Bad idea.” Tony smirked at Strange to cover for his unease. “So. Plan B?”
Strange grinned but there was a serious glint in his eyes. “How about we make it plan Z?”
“Last resort, huh?” Tony shrugged. “Yeah, why not? Let’s go with that.” -

Summary
“No.” Tony shook his head, heart beating wild and rapid, the monitors he was hooked up to a cacophony of sound. “You might have missed it, Strange, but last time I tried to prepare the world for what was coming, half the universe died. Why me?” Why not someone else, why not Steve fucking Rogers, the man with the plan, why not Rhodey, why not Pepper, why him?
“Because you’re a scientist. A futurist. We chose you, Stark. But you have to accept.”
Tony didn’t want to.
“You’re going to regret it,” Tony said quietly. The beeping of the monitors had slowed, the panic had faded away leaving only a quiet exhaustion.
“I don’t think so.” And Strange sounded so sure.
Tony closed his eyes. He wanted to say no, wanted to let go of the weight of the world that had already crushed him. But he couldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that when Strange had used his last chance to save the world, banking on him. “Alright.” He swallowed hard, forcing himself to nod. “Okay. Send me back.”

Summary
The air around him was suffocating.
Tiny particles of dust floated past him, either remnants of the fight they’d just bombed, or the flesh of the fallen - the price of their failure for all to see.
He shifted slightly, and he winced as the blade in his abdomen moved with him. The nanoparticles sealing up his wound weren’t made to last for long periods of time - they were only meant to stave off death until he could get to a hospital, or a half-decent first aid kit. He could only hope that one of the ships had medical supplies on board.
He tried to stand, and tripped, landing on his side which only served to aggravate his wound further. He lay there for a second, panting, then took a deep breath, and went to stand up again.
“He did it.”
OR
Tony Stark would do absolutely anything to get Peter back. (Including, but not limited to time travel.)
(Was that JARVIS?)
