She hugged me in worry. “Why would you destroy the whole world?”
I sighed. “I don’t want to live in a world without you.” I told her.
“What about Sasha?” She asked me.
“My mind would probably be in a mess to even think about Sasha when in front of your dead body Nat. Besides that, was a 1 in million future only.” I told her as I kissed her forehead.
“With what I have planned I will make sure that future doesn’t happen.” I told her.
We went back home after picking up Sasha.
I arranged for a worldwide press meeting which Natasha led a few days later.
She started off with an apology on behalf of all the dead people we could not save as she was the front face for the Avengers.
After her apology she gave a summary of what had happened albeit making sure not to say anything about Tony and Banner’s participation in making Ultron. She was battered by questions about how Ultron came to be amongst other things which I helped her through.
After the meeting I had a little chat with Tony and everyone about responsibility and that with great power comes great responsibility quote so that they never lose sight of what they were trying to protect in the process of stopping threats like how I nearly became.
Few days later the new avengers base had finished construction. It was the same as the one in the movie but with a training field.
Clint had made it clear to us that he retired no matter what. We accepted his decision considering he wanted to spend time with his family.
If I could, I wanted to retire and take Nat and Sasha away with me to some distant planet.
I had called all the avengers to meet me one by one. I boosted all their healing and regeneration factor so they would not die from snapping the infinity gauntlet once, except Thor and Hulk who did not really need it.
I made sure to place a lock on all their genes so that the power would not pass on to their descendants or to stop when someone uses their blood to reverse engineer the healing/ regeneration effect.
After that began team building exercise with everyone which Rogers and Nat oversaw while I saw everyone one to one to give guidance on how to utilise their abilities properly.
The Maximoff twins were especially surprised during their turn when I started displaying similar ability to them.

“How?” Wanda asked.
“I told you I spend some time examining the mind stone. Not to mention I have been studying your genes while you were locked up in the Hydra base, along with the fact that your power is similar to magic that I practise.” I told her before I taught her and guided her in controlling her powers.
After that it was Pietro who was once again surprised by seeing me move as fast as him.
I fought with him to get him used to moving and fighting quickly. He was too tired by the end of session as he heavily breathed while on the floor.
After that it was Bruce. We just fought each other, instead of rampaging he fought me with control and technique.
For Vision I taught him how to harness the power of mind stone against his enemies.
I had to in the end pit him against Wanda, since I did not want him to practise infiltrating mind with my mind with the mind stone.
One by one I helped them improve and cover their weakness while giving them new and improved equipment.
Tony had already finished his nano suit much earlier than usual due to me revealing the use of nanobots to him few years ago. I helped him make some improvement much to his annoyance and suggested him to take a break and spend some time with Pepper much to his refusal.
They were all very reluctant to take a break knowing the future and what awaits them. I had to force them all for break or holiday after every mission.
This went on for 1 year before the events of civil war began.
Scott infiltrated the base during this time, and I let Sam test him out.
Sam utterly crushed him with his new wings, gears, and training. However, before he captured Scott, I told him to let him go which he did in confusion.
“Why did you let him go?” Sam asked me.
“How is he?” I asked him.
“A good materi… oh!” He realised what I meant.
Due to extreme practise and training, there was no more accidental killings of civilians when Wanda tried to redirect the explosion to sky when Rumlow decided to suicide bomb and the mission was successfully completed.
I looked up some things online and noticed Helmut Zemo and his family were safe. No one could blame us for what happened in Sokovia. I warned them few hours ahead before Ultron began his attack, made sure everyone was safely evacuated and apologised for all the people we could not save.
Not only that the Avengers were in a way working under UN orders but much more freely.
This will now definitely impact the future as there will be no Zemo to manipulate Bucky, no Sokovia Accords and no killing of king of Wakanda. But there will be a civil war between the avengers should Tony find that Bucky killed his parents.
After the mission Rogers came to ask me about Bucky.
“Where is Bucky, David?” He asked in concern.
“I will bring him back myself. Give me few hours.” I told him seriously to which he nodded.
He went away as I called someone. “Hello, you have reached the secretary of his highness king T'Chaka.”
“I want to book an appointment to meet king T'Chaka.” I told her.
“You are?”
“Jack of all Trade or better known as Silver Potato.” She went on mute but from the camera I hacked I could see her quickly contacting T'Chaka.
“Hello Mr David.” The secretary put me through the call.
“I want to meet you as soon as possible king T'Chaka.” I told him respectfully.
“May I ask the reason?” He asked me back.
“I want to initiate a trade.” He was silent for a few minutes.
“We don’t have any more vibranium Mr David.” He spoke back.
“I don’t want vibranium your highness. Can you please offer me 15 minutes of your time?” I asked him.
He sighed. “Very well, when are you free?”
“I am free now. Just state the place and time and I can get there immediately.”
“2 hours meet me in …” He fixed a time and place before we both hung up.
