Avengers of the Future

Chapter One

Inside a lab, a scientist with long brown, curly hair was working vigorously trying to get a giant machine to start working. A man with red hair and blue eyes was helping the scientist try and fix everything in order to get it to turn on. The pounding of metal boots above them were getting louder and louder as the duo kept working. Everyone else were being super quiet as when the pounding of metal boots sounded above the underground civilization/bunker, everything was shut down and went dead but not this particular section of the bunker. The two were trying to be as quiet as possible as they worked. When the sound of pounding boots disappeared, they two young adults looked at each other before the young scientist flipped the switch and the machine hummed. “Are you ready to do this? We might change the course of history and the outcome might not be what we want.” The young woman with long brown hair said to the young man next to her. “We have to try to fix this. If there is a chance we can change the future for the better then… Let’s do it.” He said softly to her, his blue eyes softened when he looked into her brown ones. They were risking everything to make the future a better place. The two interlocked their fingers before stepping into the arch. The two young adults held onto each other with all their might before they felt metal under them. The two quickly took cover and started studying their surroundings before the young man caught a glimpse of a uniform. “We are on the S.H.I.E.L.D hovercraft…” He said softly and grinned at the young woman with him. “You did it.”. She smiled softly before they made their way around the craft until they found a lab that was empty. The two quickly entered the lab and closed the door behind them, closing all the windows… The young woman pulled out a device and plugged it into the computer. “Now all we have to do is wait until it downloads…” she sighed softly. The two waited about 5 minutes before someone, an agent, opened the door and saw them. The two new comers looked at each other before the agent pulled out their weapon to shoot. The male grabbed the agent’s arm and twisted it until it popped out of its socket. “We’ll have to come back for it later.” He said before running out of the lab, followed by his woman accomplice. The young woman pulled out a large circular device and turned it on, making it hum before her male accomplice was tackled to the ground followed by her. Both agents pinned the duo to the ground, face down before handcuffing them and yanking them up to where they were standing. Agents Barton and Romanoff took the two spies to the control room where Director Nick Fury was standing there with Captain Steve Rogers, Dr. Bruce Banner and Tony Stark. The two looked at each other with a knowing glance before Fury looked at the two. “Who thinks they are smart enough to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.? Did you honestly think you could get away with it? How did you even get on this ship?” Both young adults stayed quiet before Fury asked. “What are your names?”. Again they didn’t answer, frustrating Fury. He then noticed something under the young woman’s lab coat and went over to her, pushing it aside only to see a battered S.H.I.E.L.D badge. “Who are you?” Fury asked. The young woman’s eyes flickered green for a moment before the hovercraft shook as if it hit some turbulence but the duo knew that this wasn’t just turbulence. They had to get them out of here. Just before Steve was about to question them, the woman’s eyes flickered green again and she broke the handcuffs with little effort. The young man did the same thing and guns pointing at them surrounded the two. The duo then stiffened as they heard the pounding of metal boots. “They rebooted the prototype! They got it to work!” The young woman said in a panic. Her male companion stood in front of her before pulling out his weapon, turning it on, making it hum. “Do it already!” He ordered and the young woman pulled out the previous device and made it hum loudly. “They are getting closer!” He yelled. “58%!” She said. “70!... 89! 100%! Hold on!” She shouted and slammed the button on the devise and the selected few surged before they disappeared in a bright flash. When the flash finished, the group, which included, Dr. Banner, Captain Rogers, Agent Barton and Agent Romanoff, were in the young woman’s lab where the machine short circuited and sparks flew everywhere. “Crap….” She muttered. “We got back. That is the important thing…” The young man said before looking at the group of confused people. “My name is James Rogers-Romanoff and I am the Lieutenant in charge of this bunker. We have brought you here because of what just attacked the hovercraft. They are Drones sent out by an artificial intelligence named Ultron. He has control of 90% of all electronic devices and has taken over earth. The year is 2035 and we need The Avengers’ help. This machine is a time traveling experimental machine. We were lucky it worked this time. Ultron found the prototype that Reed Richards was working on before he perished and got it working. We were lucky to have gotten there before him. They Avengers almost stopped him before but…sadly all perished in a last battle that took place in Los Angels. Ultron was going back in time to kill all of you off before you had a chance to even know about him. Luckily, we got wind of the plan and stopped him.” James finished talking only to avoid looking at his own parents, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, who were in shock of what they had just heard. The young woman in the lab coat stepped forward. “I’m Dr. Laura Stark and I am the Head Engineer, Scientist and Medical officer for this bunker. I-“ Laura was interrupted when the lab door opened and a little girl ran in and right up to Laura. “We need you now. There are people hurt, Mommy.” The little girl with brown eyes and red hair said and Laura nodded. “I’m coming sweetie.” She said before letting the little girl lead her out to the open area where people were laying on the ground and Laura’s medical students were taking care of the wounded as best they could. “Who has the worst injuries?” Laura asked and she was led to a solider that had a few gunshots in his stomach. “Get him to surgery and remove the bullets carefully and sew them up with sterile thread!” She ordered 4 of her students and they rushed off. Laura tended to the other people who had injuries. James walked out of the lab and looked around the open area where training and socializing takes place. “Follow me.” James said to the group, still not looking at his parents. James led them to the control room where Tony Stark stood in his older age. His hair was longer and white and his face was creased with wrinkles. “Hey, Tony. We have them. Just like you said.” James said and Tony turned around, with sadness but a smile on his face. “Hey, Fellow Avengers.” He tried to joke but it didn’t reach his voice. James had his hands behind his back and Natasha noticed a wedding ring on his finger. “Tony, what happened?” Bruce stepped forward. Tony sighed. “When all of you died, your kids were left behind. James and Laura stayed with me while the other children went off to other communities to help them.” Tony replied before he looked at James. “James over here filled your boots pretty nicely, Steve. Military and such plus he has the mind of a spy like his mom.” Tony chuckled. “And Laura seems to have followed in your footsteps, I see.” Bruce said and Tony frowned slightly. “She isn’t my biological child. I adopted her along with the other children. I found her as a toddler wrapped in a lab coat among the rubble of a small town in Nevada. I did a DNA test on her and found out who her birth parents were. I told her who they were. Her mother had died but she found signs that her father might still be out there. She blames him for abandoning her.” He rubbed his scruffy chin. “W-Who is her father, Tony?” Bruce asked. Tony ignored his question before Natasha spoke up. “You have a wedding ring on your finger, James. Who is your wife?” She asked and James turned to his mother, finally looking at her. “Laura is my wife.” He said before walking out of the Control Room to help Laura with the wounded. Steve and Natasha followed after him. Steve grabbed James by his shoulder and , out of instinct, grabbed Steve’s hand before twisting it and flipping him onto the ground. James continued to walk forward until he found his wife, bandaging up, Henry Pym Jr. “You aren’t supposed to be outside of the bucker, Pym and you know that.” Laura said and Pym sighed. “Sorry. I just wanted to help.” The 16 year old replied. Pym’s parents died 5 years after the others as they were building this bunker before Tony joined in with helping. “Daddy!” The little girl from before shouted and jumped into James’ arms. “Hello too, Sophia. Were you helpful?” he asked with a smile. Sophia nodded. “I helped by putting band aids on boo boos!” she said happily and James kissed her head. “Good job, Sweeite.” Before putting her back down. James didn’t look back at his parents.
Meanwhile, back in the Control Room, Bruce looked at Tony. “Who is her father, Tony?” He asked again and Tony sighed. “You. You are her father. You and Betty had been trying for a child for the longest time and each pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Laura was the only one to make it through. I got a distress signal where I found Laura and she was wrapped in an old lab coat in a trashed lab under a desk. She was crying and they is how I found her.” Tony admitted to Bruce. Bruce took a few steps back and looked scared. “Did I… Did I destroy that town?” He asked softly. “You didn’t do it on purpose. The town was attacked by Ultron and you just Hulk’d out to protect Betty and Laura.” Tony said and Bruce put his hand over his heart. “I have a daughter… and she thinks I abandoned her… I would never abandon my child… I… I have to talk to her…” Bruce said in a slight panic and headed to leave. “Wait! Bruce, there is something else you need to know. You condition, passed on to Laura. She doesn’t turn into a Hulk but she does have super strength and healing when she gets super pissed off. She knocked James around a few good times. She had to mind her anger when she was-“ Tony stopped when he was about to say. “She has a very gifted mind and she is an amazing person. You will be proud when you get to know her.” Tony said before he walked out with Bruce. Bruce was rushing to talk to Laura…. He needed to talk to his daughter.
