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.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Was this how Batman acquired his Robins? He stepped out of the Bat Cave to go grocery shopping and only to come back to find a Robin there, throwing Bat-a-rangs and doing justice-fueled backflips?
No, that was stupid. Bruce didn’t do his own grocery shopping.

Summary
“Wh' you guys doin'?” He needed water, desperately, but Bruce and Jason seemed more content to stare at him with wide eyes instead.
Something about them looked... Off. Tim squinted, trying to pick it out. It wasn't quite uncanny, but just. Different.
Bruce was missing a few scars on his face, though it could have just been the lighting, and Jason—
Tim blinked, as if that would change the sight in front of him. The warning bells in his head began to clang, clearing the clouds out of his mind.
”Did you dye your hair?“tim ends up in the wrong universe: one where batman doesn't exist. he's starting to feel like he's a cosmic joke at this point.

Summary
If you ask Danny how this all started he'd tell you paperwork. It all started with a room full of paperwork. Then he added in some vacation with a pinch of murphy's law, stirred it up with some inter-dimensional travel and he got a recipe for disaster.
