Let This Be Your Last Battlefield
The small planetoid was uninhabited and nothing more than a rock in space rolling around double stars. It was the most unassuming place, but it would be the site of a battle that would determine the fate of the universe.

	As Death is collecting Thanos' still form, minus the gems, and battles are slowly resolving themselves between the effects of Thanos' power and the various cosmic entities, another being appears not far from Bucky Barnes. "Mr. Barnes, a word, if you please." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Timebroker," he says, turning to the entity. "What do you need?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Actually, I'm here to offer you a unique opportunity. Your world is stable, technically. This last world finally set it on a stable thread. However... there are worlds further back in your personal timestream which remain unstable... and fixing them would have a unique impact on your world. You have a chance to literally rewrite time, with the potential of no Maestro, no mutant massacre... potentially even save Steve Rogers that the two of you would have a unique chance to shape at least one world together. I can send you back now to the moment you left, the Maestro is dead, John Walker leads the Avengers, and your team is in chaos... but there. Or I can give you a chance to do even better... make sure the damage along that line of the timestream never happened. But it would mean leaving this team of Exiles, and taking a chance on leading your own team. Either way... your work is done here."

	Barnes blinks. "No Massacre? No Maestro? Steve?" His eyes light up, then he grows more cautious. "What's the catch?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The catch is that its a gamble. You have the chance, if your team of Exiles succeed at all their missions, if you don't die, you get a chance to go back to the point of divergence in your timeline... when you survived instead of Steve Rogers. A second chance to redo that entire event with foreknowledge, a chance to rewrite it... but you could die on the job, your team could fail... same as working with this team. If you do, your world will proceed from the Maestro's defeat, without you to counter Walker and the rest... basically, you either get a guaranteed pass home now... you can go to the site of the Maestro's death and do your best to fix things going forward, or risk your life and risk a world without your influence for a chance to go back and build a better world. And you only get this one opportunity to make that choice... what's it going to be?"

	"An opportunity to set things the way they were supposed to be? Or a chance to alter history, for the better and for the worse?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Your presence has already irrevocably altered history, for the better and more stable, on half a dozen worlds. You have the chance to do the same for your own world now, in a way that will stabilize the timestream. Likewise, this would keep you an active Exile for a few more missions, at least, so a new team could benefit from your experience and leadership. 'The way things were supposed to be', at the moment, as it concerns your world, is subjective. Safe to say though, this is a one time offer, while things are still malleable. I'm afraid I need an answer... are you going home, or into the great unknown a bit longer?"

	He ponders. "Let's do it, then," he says. "Let's go." He glances at the others, standing further away. "Tell them I wish them luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	broken_time 2010-08-19 03:48 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Afraid there's no time for goodbyes, you have work to do, and so do they." In a flash of light, the Timebroker and Bucky Barnes are both gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)
