Synopsis for "Fifty into the Future"
As the Avengers suddenly find themselves having traveled 48 years into the future, due to the sudden appearance of the Time Gem, the brawl between the others and Tony Stark continues nevertheless. Even with the chaos surrounding them, Starbrand marvels at what he sees around him, with most of the newer architechture partially bioengineered, surrounded by self-sustaining city farms, floating weather control machines and a data field containing helobytes of knowledge, even seeing that the Moon has been colonized.
With Iron Man's armors destroyed, the Avengers confront him once more. Tony admits that perhaps he was wrong about misleading everyone and not telling them about the incursions, but that the fact that there is a future proves that he was right and that whatever he and the Illuminati did ultimately worked. He goes on to say that the only way they're going to stop him is to kill him, and tells Captain America that he doesn't believe he's willing to do that.
The group is suddenly interrupted by the Avengers of this future, who order them to cease and desist, while also commenting that they're about a week early, a consequence of the now five decades older Hawkeye simply misremembering when they jumped into the future. His reunion with his younger self and Steve is cut short as Hawkeye tells the group that he needs to tell them two things; the first is that each time they jump into the future will last a little longer, with this first one being the shortest, as the Time Gem will soon reappear and vault them further into the future. He tells them not to expect a warm welcome going forward, and whispers his second point of information to Captain America.
He suddenly turns to Tony, firing an arrow that disables his armor before going on to savagely beat him, telling him he was doing so for all the people who died because of him, and all of those who lived through his actions. He reveals that the device implanted in his hand, which serves as an early warning system for the incursions, will pull him out of the temporal bubble he's caught in and allow him to make it back in time. He reveals that he promised to make sure that Stark got home earlier, because in their timeline he was too late to stop something from happening. He yells at Tony that that he can go back now and stop it, but that he doesn't believe he will, because he doesn't have it in him.
The Time Gem suddenly reappears, and hurls the Avengers 422 years into their future.
