"He probably should have done what you said in the first place. Left with the stone, bought us more time." Again, woulda shoulda coulda. It all happened the way it did, and whatever number of the futures Strange glimpsed, it was because of thousands of choices made before. "One out of that many was near impossible." The chances weren't in their favor. This probably was always going to happen. They'd gotten with things by the skin of their teeth, but eventually luck ran out. "I don't know what we will do next. What we can next."

Bruce smiled and nodded about Thor, fonder now than ever before. They bonded over their shared experience. "I thought for sure he was dead, I don't know how he survived that, but he's really a god. He found us in the gladiator ring and that's how we got out." They went to Asgard and lost there too. Us, he still used the term, despite the Hulk being gone. "I don't think I appreciated how strong he was before, and what a great guy he is at heart. We didn't have a lot of time to bond before." And Bruce was intimidated by the man, so giant and the opposite of him.

Bruce wasn't so certain fixing anything was possible. But he wasn't going to sweep in with his pessimism right then. "Yeah, they're probably going to do it bigger and better, when they have more experience. Our version of the Avengers might be over, but that doesn't mean the concept and intention of it is." They were a time bomb, because of who was put within the team. A team directed properly, and thought out more? Maybe they had a better chance. "I just hope by then the accords is overturned or changed. That was on us, it doesn't have to be forever."
